Team News: Metz
Availability isnโt a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Metz gaffer Stรฉphane Le Mignan to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Aboubacar Lรด (Back injury) misses out.

Team News: Red Star
Red Star boss Grรฉgory Poirier has not got a full squad to pick from. Rayane Doucourรฉ (Knee injury) and Bradley Danger (Knock) will miss out on this game.

Prediction
In our opinion, FC Metz will more than likely fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they face Red Star, who will be up against it to break down their defence.
Our selection here is for a 2-0 win for FC Metz after 90 minutes.
