Match preview
This fixture pits two teams against each other in a relegation six-pointer, featuring the sides in 19th and 18th in the table. The loser of the match will end this weekend’s matches in the bottom two while the victor will likely have a three-point buffer between them and the sides facing the drop.
AS Saint-Etienne come into the match on a run of two home league games undefeated. They have picked up ten points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Sainté lost their last league match away to Paris Saint Germain. Expected goals of 2.8 to 0.6 in favour of Paris Saint Germain indicates perhaps it was a fair result. Denis Bouanga’s opening goal in the 15th minute proved to be a mere consolation goal in the end. Bouanga now has four league goals this season for Saint-Etienne and is the 2.5/1 favourite to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 3-1.
Their opponent on Sunday, FC Metz, come into the match on a run of five league games without a win and have also failed to score in each of their last two. They have picked up six points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Maroons’ last league match, at home to FC Nantes, ended in a dull 0-0 draw. Expected goals of 0.6 to 0.3 in favour of Nantes indicates both teams probably deserved only a point.
The Les Grenats fans will be particularly disappointed with the attacking performance with their side failing to register a shot on target nor any big chances in the match.
Metz have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three away league matches and are 4/1 to shut out AS Saint-Etienne here.

FC Metz team news
The red card shown to Vincent Pajot in their last league match against Nantes means Metz will now be without him for today’s match.
