Team News

Metz
Lille
  • Romain Rocchi, Jonathan Rivierez, Sylvain Marchal and Guido Milan will all miss out due to injury.
  • Albert Cartier is expected to rotate his side before les Grenats return to Ligue 2 next season, with the likes of Sergeï Krivets, Janis Ikaunieks and Juan Manuel Falcon all expected to come into the starting XI.
  • René Girard will not be able to call on his usual long-term absentees for his last match in charge of the first team.
  • Idrissa Gueye is expected to return to midfield having served a one-game ban at the weekend.
  • Rony Lopes and Adama Traoré have both joined their respective national squads ahead of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Prediction

  • 19th-placed FC Metz will try to benefit from their last top-flight encounter at the Stade Saint-Symphorien this season to put an end to their 4-game losing streak in Ligue 1, hoping to leave the division on a slightly better note than expected in front of their own fans.
  • In a match that should mark the end of an era, le LOSC - who will finish the season in 8th place - have nothing more to aim for this weekend. Several players and members of staff are expected to leave the club in the coming weeks.
  • With nothing at stake, the hosts may have the means upset an unconcerned Lille side on Saturday evening.
