Team News

Metz
Nantes
  • Óscar Estupiñán remains a doubt after missing the draw against Lyon.
  • Kévin N'Doram came off the bench last weekend and could start here.
  • Simon Elisor and Benjamin Tetteh are both options in attack.
  • Florent Mollet is back from suspension and should be included from the off.
  • Adson is likely to drop to the bench with the Frenchman's return.
  • Nathan Zézé is fit again, but not likely to be in the visitors' eleven.

Prediction

  • While eight places currently separate these teams, Nantes have just four points more than their hosts -- Metz will be eager to climb away from the bottom two of Clermont and Lyon as a win here would pull them seven ahead of the Auvergne side.
  • Nantes are more likely to be content with a draw after a pair of disappointing losses.
