Marseille

WDWWLL

Marseille won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 2-1 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Monaco.

In that match, Marseille managed 52% possession and 19 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. The only player to score for Marseille was Amine Gouiri (85'). Monaco had 7 shots at goal with 3 on target. Aleksandr Golovin (59') and Folarin Balogun (74') scored for Monaco.

Habib Beye's Marseille have seen rewards for their attempts on goal a sum total of 8 times in their prior 6 outings. At the other end, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in those fixtures is 8.

Going into this one, Marseille have not been beaten in the league by FC Metz in their last 10 games. A long run without a loss.

FC Metz

LLLLDD ⚠

In their last game, Metz drew 0-0 in the Ligue 1 tie with Nantes.

In that game, FC Metz had 66% possession and 19 shots on goal with 5 on target. Nantes got 6 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.

The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games featuring FC Metz has become apparent recently. Examining their last six games reveals that this has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, their opponents have managed a goal tally of 11 while FC Metz have scored 3. Nevertheless, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern will be sustained here in this game.

Leading up to this clash, FC Metz:

• haven't won against Marseille when having played them away from home in the previous 8 league matches. Very poor away form.
• haven't been defeated by Marseille when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 8 league games. What a terrible run of away results.

ℹ️ Team News: Marseille

We think that Les Olympiens will probably go for a 4-4-2 system in the match featuring Geronimo Rulli, Benjamin Pavard, Leonardo Balerdi, Facundo Medina, Timothy Weah, Quinten Timber, P. Hoejbjerg, Igor Paixao, Mason Greenwood, P. Aubameyang and Amine Gouiri.

📋 Team News: Metz

We’re of the thinking that Les Grenats might elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Pape Sy, Koffi Kouao, Sadibou Sane, Urie-Michel Mboula, Maxime Colin, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Jessy Deminguet, Bouna Sarr, Gauthier Hein, Giorgi Tsitaishvili and H. Mouhamadou Diallo.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that FC Metz are certainly able to breach the defence of this Marseille lineup, although that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

Our selection here is for a 2-1 winning margin for Marseille at the end of this one. Let’s see what happens here.
