Metz take on the visitors Lyon in the round 23 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, September 23rd at Stade Saint-Symphorien (Metz).
Metz are at risk of not staying in the country's top division once again. The "Dark Maroons" managed to show a decent result last season, becoming one of the leaders of the competition. However, at that time, they were playing in Ligue 2 and rose directly to the "elite" from the second position - for the umpteenth time in recent years. But now, despite all the efforts of Laszlo Bölöni, the elevator is heading down the familiar path towards relegation. Throughout the winter, there were only defeats, and they only managed to grab a draw against struggling Marseille, who played with ten men. However, against Montpellier, they were utterly outplayed, losing 0-3.

Lyon are slowly climbing out of the pit. The "Weavers" considered the previous seasons unsuccessful when the ambitious team couldn't regain its position in the European competition zone. But now they find themselves stuck in the relegation zone. Only under the current interim coach, Pierre Sagnol, have the results stabilized, and "Olympique" has started to distance itself from the danger zone in the league, while also defeating strong opponents like Lille in the cup. In the last league match, they defeated the even more prestigious Nice, who failed to respond to Manga's goal in the middle of the first half, resulting in a 1-0 victory for "Olympique."
A year ago, Lyon defeated this opponent 2-1 in the cup. But in the league in November, they drew, marking the fourth consecutive match in this format in which the "Dark Maroons" have not lost. Lacazette and company have finally gained momentum, and they shouldn't stop now - let's bet on a away victory for the illustrious club over the underdog.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win.
