Preview and Teams Comparison.
Metz have won only one of their last nine games against Nantes in Ligue 1 (D5 L3), it was in September 2016 (3-0). Metz kick-off hoping to put an end to a three-game Ligue 1 (L1) winless streak at home. However, if they find a return to winning ways here, it will likely be an entertaining game, as each of Metz’ last five L1 home victories have featured a total of exactly three goals. Any entertainment is unlikely to be delayed either, with eight of Metz’s nine L1 fixtures this campaign seeing the first goal scored inside the opening half-hour. Unsurprisingly, none of Metz’s nine games this L1 campaign have been goalless at half-time. Metz have won only one of their last 11 home games in Ligue 1 (D4 L6), it was in August 2019 against Monaco (3-0).
Nantes have picked up 19 points after nine games in Ligue 1 in 2019/20, their best tally at this stage of the competition since 1994/95 (21) when they won the title. For their part, Nantes have struggled away from home in the top flight, winning just four of their last 17 L1 away fixtures (W4, D4, L9). Significantly, each of those four wins have come by a one-goal margin, and two-thirds of those losses have featured a 1-0 scoreline. Nantes have won six of their last seven games in Ligue 1 (L1), including each of their last three, the best current run. The visitors have also seen only 14 of their 59 away shots land on target in the league this term, which constitutes L1’s second-worst ratio (23.73%). However, Nantes can take confidence from the fact that they have scored the opening goal in six of their last seven L1 road trips, returning a respectable record (W3, D2, L2) after doing so. Nantes have won two of their last three away games in Ligue 1 (L1), as many as in their previous 14 (D4 L8).
