Red Star and Metz meet at Stade Pierre Brisson, in a match for the 35 th round of the Liga 2. Metz won at home by (2-0) the last time they met in this edition of the league, in 04- 12-2018. The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years is favorable to the visiting team, which in the last 5 matches won 3 and lost 2. Particular attention is required for the home / away condition, since both teams present significantly different results at home and outside.
Red Star:
After 6 wins, 9 draws and 19 losses, the home team is currently in the 20th position, with 27 points won. In their last match, they lost with Troyes out by (2-0), after in the previous match they tied for (1-1) at home, in a match against Nancy. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses at their stadium. For the championship, the Red Star won 11 points out of 30 possible, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 games that it disputed in its stadium. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it has not been very strong defensively. In 34 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 21 times and never got the comeback. In the last 17 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘).
The Red Star campaign is very bad, it is in the last position of the championship and that is why it is fighting against the descent. The weak performance that has been taking place in the field is the main culprit of being in this situation. Only a miracle will save you from the descent of division, that is, you need to defeat all your games and still wait for favorable parallel results. That being the case, wait at least to do your part and that means you want to add the three points. In this match, Edson Seidou will be absent from the team, for being in the medical department.
Metz:
After 21 wins, 9 draws and 4 losses, the away team is currently in the 1 st position, with 72 points won. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Gazélec Ajaccio, by (0-2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Grenoble, by (1-1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins and 8 draws as a visitor, with 19 goals scored and 7 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 11 conceded.
For this competition, they have not lost any of the last 12 away matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (8 out of 17 matches). Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 7 times and only managed 2 comebacks.
No doubt the Metz has been doing a great campaign in the French second division. Currently leading the championship, is in the promotion area and shows quality football, unlike most clubs. The expectation is to stay that way until the end of the season, because it hopes to return to the national elite, so regularity is a key element to achieve it. We know the quality of the visitors and it will not be surprising if they win, otherwise, they will enter the field just to conquer the three points. You can confirm your return to the first division in the current round and there are several possibilities for that to happen. In this match the best players that are available will go to the field.
