Caen take on the visitors Metz at "Stade Michel d'Ornano" in the gameweek four of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, August 26th.
Caen entered the new season with two defeats from Montpellier and St Etienne with the same 0:1 scoreline, having gained their first points after sensational 2:0 triumph over Lille on the road in the third round. After three gameweeks played Caen occupy the 12th place in the standings with three points earned and 2-2 goal difference and it's for sure that the team will show defensive football across the whole season in the Ligue 1, sitting on the 12th-20th positions in the table.

Unlike Caen which finally succeeded to take their first points in the matchday three, Metz can only dream about that. “Les Grenats” lost the first three encounters of the new season in the Ligue 1: 1:3 to Guingamp, 0:2 to Bordeaux and 0:1 to Monaco. As a result, the club settles on the 19th place among 20 sides of the French elite division with zero points gained and 1-6 goal difference. As for the team’s performance at away turfs, starting from the 30th of November 2016, Metz have recorded only one single win alongside with two draws and 12 defeats in 15 clashes on the road.
Tough struggle is ahead for both Caen and Metz for saving their places in the Ligue 1. It is difficult to identify the leader and favourite in the teams' head-to-heads. I don't believe that the teams will risk and score many goals in the upcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
