Metz vs Marseille preview

Marseille are aiming to move on from a terrible result in midweek that saw their Champions League dream for the season go up in tatters after a loss to Panathinaikos with the club heading on the road to Metz this Friday night.

Marseille have seen the departure of Dimitri Payet this week as well, as he headed to Vasco da Gama this week. The club also lost on penalties to the Greek side after a 2-2 aggregate draw. The Ligue 1 giants did win the game 2-1 on the night after losing 1-0 in Greece.

Geoffrey Kondogbia was sent off in the first leg, but manager Marcelino will be very happy to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang get off to a flying start with his side after he scored two goals against Panathinaikos on his second start.

Marseille also beat Reims on day one where Azzedine Ounahi and Vitinha scored goals that match. Metz, however, were brought back down to earth when they lost 5-1 last time out, as Youssef Maziz netted an equaliser in the first half.
