Metz

As the Ligue 1 season reaches its climax, struggling Metz will host Champions League-chasing Lille in a crucial clash at the Stade Saint-Symphorien on Sunday. The hosts will be looking to extend their recent winning run and boost their chances of avoiding relegation, while the visitors aim to solidify their position in the top four. Metz have managed to turn their fortunes around in recent weeks, securing back-to-back victories over Lens and Le Havre.

The 2023-24 Ligue 1 season has been a tumultuous ride for both Metz and Lens, with the two clubs now set to lock horns in a pivotal encounter at the Stade Saint-Symphorien on Friday, April 12th. While their motivations may differ, the significance of this clash cannot be overstated for either side. For the hosts, Metz, the season has been a nightmarish affair thus far. Languishing perilously in 17th place with a mere 23 points to their name, the threat of relegation looms large over the Stade Saint-Symphorien.
