Metz got promoted to elite division last season but chances are they will get relegated back to Ligue 2. The team is unable to win in their last six league matches and moved down in relegation zone with 19 points gained after 18 matches played. As other teams from elite division, the visiting side didn’t play in previous round of the competition and starts their path with clash against Lens. The team are showing mediocre results on the road and recorded three away defeats in a row with 0-9 aggregate score.
Two teams share the same fate in recent years, going back and forth between two divisions. Lens are in the second division now but they are showing much better football and should have advantage in match with one of the worst team of Ligue 1.
Prediction for the match: Lens to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
