Metz take on the visitors Caen at “Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien” in the fight of the 1/8 final stage of the Coup de France. The match will be played in Metz on Wednesday, February 7th.
In the previous rounds of the Coup de France Metz have knocked out Tours and Dunkerque. Nevertheless, “Les Grenats” look horrible in this season, sitting now on the last place in the Ligue 1 standings with only 18 points taken after 24 encounters played. There are no top class players in the club’s roster who would have scored many goals, therefore, the attack has managed to make only 23 accurate shots on target while its defense is doing even worse with 45 goals conceded. In the recent clashes conducted at “Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien” Metz have broken Nice 2:1, St Etienne 3:0 and Strasbourg 3:0 which speaks in favour of the fact that “Les Grenats” started to revive.

Caen are a solid mid-table team of the French Ligue 1. In general, the side looks inconsistent, but it is quite able to produce a nice football from time to time. At this moment Caen settle on the 11th position in the elite division standings with 30 points earned after 24 battles behind. The club’s offense looks awful, having scored only 18 goals while its defense is doing a bit better with 28 goals conceded. In the latest away fights Caen have lost to St Etienne 1:2, but managed to beat Hazebrouck and Bordeaux with the same 2:0 scoreline.
Metz have failed to defeat Caen across four consecutive head-to-heads. At this point “Les Grenats” have great chances to cut this series as it has significantly added up and may count on promoting to the next stage of the competition.
Prediction for the match: Metz to win.
