Latest football commentary on Metz vs Marseille
After the first 6 rounds, coach Stéphane Le Mignan still has not been able to win any matches with Metz, after the attack continued to disappoint last weekend.
Metz are currently the third-worst scoring team in Ligue 1 with just five goals, and against Le Havre they failed to even muster a shot on target – the third time this season they have failed to score.
The bright spot is that Metz have picked up points in their last two home games, and have conceded just two of their last 13 goals this season at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
They will look to end a five-game winless run at home in Ligue 1 on Saturday, having won 10 of their previous 12 home games in the competition.
After six rounds, Metz have the highest expected goals conceded (12.6 xGA) and the fourth lowest expected goals scored (7.0 xG).
Les Grenats have picked up points in six of their last seven Ligue 1 meetings with Marseille, but their last home win came in 2017 (1-0).
For Marseille, the controversial defeat to Real Madrid in the opening match of the Champions League seemed to have become a morale booster, as they immediately won 3 consecutive matches in all competitions, scoring 6 goals and conceding only 1.
A win at Metz would see Roberto De Zerbi's side win back-to-back away games in Ligue 1 for the first time in 2025. They have now lost two of their three away games this season and have failed to score in those defeats.
Last season, Marseille won two of their three away games against newly promoted teams, their only defeat coming in a 0-3 loss to Auxerre in February.
They are now just three points off the top spot ahead of this round, with three of their five Ligue 1 defeats coming on the road.
Les Olympiens are unbeaten in their last nine Ligue 1 meetings with Metz. Their last visit to Stade Saint-Symphorien saw them equalise 2-2 thanks to an 82nd-minute goal.
