Match Preview
The Maroons welcome Stade Brestois to the Stade Saint-Symphorien on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. La Team Pirate fans have not enjoyed many of their trips to Stade Saint-Symphorien. Their eleven visits here in Ligue 1 have seen five Metz wins, five draws and just a single victory for Stade Brestois. Although, that single victory did come on their last visit here back in November 2020.
FC Metz come into the match on a run of 12 league games without a win. They have picked up two points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Les Graoullys lost their last league match away to FC Lorient. Expected goals of 1.7 to 1.3 in favour of Metz indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match. Les Grenats will be getting extra finishing sessions in this week having failed to score despite creating 1.7xG worth of chances. Didier Lamkel Zé was particularly responsible, having four shots in the match including Metz’s only two big chances in the game yet failing to find the net. The final score of the match was 1-0.
Lamkel Zé has one goal for Metz in Ligue 1 since joining the club from Russian Premier League side Khimki earlier this yet. He is 4/1 double his tally for Metz with a goal against Stade Brestois on Sunday.
Their opponent on Sunday, Stade Brestois, come into the match having picked up seven points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Pirate Team won their last league match at home to Olympique Lyonnais. Expected goals of 2.6 to 1.2 in favour of Lyon indicates Brest didn't deserve all three points on the balance of chances created. La Team Pirate’s goal was living a charmed life with Lyon missing the target completely at close range with three of their four big chances in the game. This left them ripe for a sucker punch to snatch all three points, which Irvin Cardona delivered 15 minutes from time. The final score of the match was 2-1.
Martín Satriano has impressed with four goals in eight starts since arriving from Inter Milan. He is the 3/1 favourite to score against FC Metz on Sunday.

FC Metz team news
Manuel Cabit (traffic accident) and Matthieu Udol (cruciate ligament) will be unavailable for The Maroons due to injury on Sunday.
They may look to make a few unforced changes to the side who lost against FC Lorient in their last league match. However, none of the substitutes who came on against Lorient left any impression to suggest they could do much better than those starting at present.
Stade Brestois team news
Irvin Cardona will be hoping his match-winning cameo earns him recall to the starting eleven after being benched for most of 2022.
Stade Brestois unlikely to make many other changes to the side that beat Olympique Lyonnais in their last league outing.
