SM Caen

LDWLLL 📉

SM Caen will be hoping for a better result following a 4-2 Ligue 2 defeat in their last game at the hands of Paris FC.

The only player to score from SM Caen was Godson Kyeremeh (82'). Timothée Kolodziejczak (13'), Jean-Philippe Krasso (32', 60'), Mathieu Cafaro (44') and Mathys Tourraine (91' Own goal) scored for Paris FC.

It has been all too rare in recent games where SM Caen have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that SM Caen have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 10 goals in the process.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that SM Caen:

• have left without a victory over FC Metz in their previous 2 league games.
• are without a win at home for the past 7 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

FC Metz

WLWWWW 📈

Metz will go into the game following a 2-1 Ligue 2 win with the eclipse of ESTAC in their previous outing.

Showing their fondness for eventful encounters, we’ve seen goals 21 times in the last six matches in which FC Metz have sent out their troops, making it an average of 3.5 goals for each meeting. Opposing teams have hit 6 of this grand total. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Their previous form shows that FC Metz:

• have not registered a win against SM Caen in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are unbeaten in their last 8 away league matches. What an impressive run of results.

↔️ Head to head

Checking on their prior head-to-head clashes stretching back to 26/08/2017 shows us that SM Caen have won 2 of them and Metz 1, with the number of drawn results standing at 3.

An aggregate of 9 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 5 of them from Caen and 4 belonging to Les Grenats. That’s an average goals per game of 1.5.

The previous league meeting between the two was Ligue 2 match day 13 on 09/11/2024 when the final score was FC Metz 1-0 SM Caen.

The referee was Antoine Valnet.

🗞️ Team News: SM Caen

Emmanuel Ntim (Dead leg) and Romain Thomas (Achilles tendon contusion) won’t be able to feature for SM Caen manager Michel Der Zakarian.

🗞️ Team News: Metz

From a largely full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Metz manager Stéphane Le Mignan to be concerned about. Aboubacar Lô (Back injury) won’t be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment here is that SM Caen may find it difficult to find the net against this FC Metz side who we think will be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for FC Metz when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be a close one.
