📋 Team News: Havre AC

It seems likely that Le club doyen look set to employ a 4-4-2 system in the match, handing starts to Mory Diaw, Stephan Zagadou, Ayumu Seko, Gautier Lloris, Fode Doucoure, Rassoul Ndiaye, Lucas Gourna-Douath, Yanis Zouaoui, Sofiane Boufal, Mbwana Samatta and Issa Soumare.

🗞️ Team News: Metz

It’s our belief that Les Grenats could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Pape Sy, Koffi Kouao, Sadibou Sane, Urie-Michel Mboula, Terry Yegbe, Jessy Deminguet, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Nathan Mbala, Gauthier Hein, Giorgi Tsitaishvili and Lucas Michal.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Havre AC will probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, FC Metz could well find it tough to break down their defence although we do reckon that they could well end up getting the chances to score, too.

We reckon that it will be a comfortable 3-1 margin for Havre AC come full-time.
