Metz narrowly missed out on promotion to Ligue 1 last season, losing the Playoff final to St. Etienne and with it their chance to return to the top flight. A club with a proud tradition in French football, they’ll be determined to go one step further this time.
Currently in 5th place with 25 points, they’re just five points behind leaders Lorient and well within reach of the promotion spots.
Dunkerque has been one of the surprises of the season. Sitting 3rd with 28 points, they’ve won their last three matches and are showing impressive form.
However, their performances away from home have been below average, which could play into Metz’s hands. Dunkerque is also through to the Round of 64 in the French Cup, so confidence will be high.
Pick: METZ TO WIN
Metz has been excellent at home, winning their last five matches at this stadium. The atmosphere in the club is positive, and the players remain determined to bounce back after last season’s heartbreak.
Dunkerque is a tough opponent, but Metz’s home form and focus should give them the edge here. A narrow win for the hosts looks likely.
Metz team news
Players like Matthieu Udol and Ismaël Traoré have played crucial roles in strengthening Metz's defense, while Joel Asoro has made a notable impact in the attacking third. The club also continues to draw on the talents of its youth academy, a long-standing pillar of its success
