Team News

Marseille
Metz
  • Only Chancel Mbemba remains away on international duty.
  • Despite having most of his players back from AFCON, Gennaro Gattuso will still have to contend with a lengthy injury list.
  • Iliman Ndiaye is also an option in attack for the hosts.
  • Ablie Jallow has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations injured and won't feature here.
  • January signing Didier Lamkel Zé is likely to start after netting in Les Grenats' match last weekend.
  • Joel Osoro and Cheikh Sabaly are also options on the flanks for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Marseille will have one eye on a daunting trip to face Shakhtar Donetsk in the week, but even with their absences should still have enough for a win here.
  • Metz continue to struggle, having not won since November, and have now slipped to the relegation playoff place.
