Joel Asoro (Injury to the ankle), Sadibou Sané (Knee injury) and Jessy Deminguet (Heel injury) aren’t available for Metz boss Stéphane Le Mignan.
📰 Team News: USL Dunkerque
In an otherwise available group, there’s only a single fitness issue for the USL Dunkerque gaffer Luís Castro to be concerned about. Adrián Ortolá (Knock) misses out for this game.
🔮 Prediction
It looks to us that FC Metz can and should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
However, USL Dunkerque could well find it tough to make a breakthrough although we do reckon that they could well end up getting enough chances to score, too.
Our tip is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for FC Metz at full-time.
