Metz – Nantes preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Metz vs Nantes lineups.
Metz
Last weekend Metz did enough to earn a 1-1 draw on their visit to bottom-dwellers Lyon. Metz took a late lead in this match but lost focus and conceded a cheap goal soon after. This was the second consecutive draw.
Metz started the season well but they lost form lately and have now gone 6 rounds without a win (D2 L4).
Main goalie Oukidja, who started every game so far, was injured in the last round and had to leave. If he is unable to recover on time youngster Dietsch could be making his first league starts.
Metz are also missing their main striker Estupian, plus useful wingers Lo and Maiga. They are all recovering from injuries and won’t be available.
Predicted Lineup:
Dietsch (GK), Colin, Traore, Herelle, Udol, Camara, Nduquidi, Van Den Kerkhof, Asoro, Jallow & Tetteh
Nantes
Nantes lost 0-1 at home vs Reims last weekend. The Canaries struggled to create chances all match and when they tried to press harder late on got picked on counterattack.
Nantes lost their last 2 league games now and failed to score on both occasions. On the road, the form hadn’t been all that bad. Nantes lost 3 of their 5 away league games so far but they managed to beat both Strasbourg and Clermont.
Mollet is back after a ban and should be in contention to start. The options on the flanks remain limited though with the useful full-backs Duverne and Centonze still missing injured. Playmaker Augusto also missed several games and despite training again he is a fitness doubt. He is not likely to start even if available for selection.
Predicted Lineup:
Lafont (GK), Comert, Castelletto, Duverne, Coco, Moutoussamy, Chirivella, Sissoko, Mollet, Simon & Mohamed
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Nantes
Player to Watch: Mostafa Mohamed
Nantes keep conceding lots of goals so the only way they can earn points is if they score lots too. No other player has been better at that than the Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohamed. With his 5 goals in 9 league appearances and 3 assists to add Mohamed is the go-to-man in Nantes’ attack.
