*Figures accurate at the time of publishing.
Metz enter this clash winless in 13 straight league outings and in Ligue 1 in 2026. The Maroons, under new coach Benoit Tavenot, have failed to turn things around. Stephane Le Mignan’s departure was supposed to make a difference.
Metz are now winless in 10 competitive fixtures, with title contenders Lens winning 3-0 last time out. That loss marked their third successive game without finding the net.
Metz have scored only once in six Ligue 1 outings.
In fact, the Maroons last won a match across all competitions in the Coupe de France, beating fourth-tier outfit ASC Biesheim in the Coupe de France. Their run in the French Cup ended in heartbreak as well, as Montpellier eliminated them by netting four goals without reply.
As things stand, relegation to the second tier looms large for the hosts who possess the league’s worst defensive record, with 56 conceded in 25 games.
Meanwhile, Toulouse visit Stade Saint-Symphorien following a 1-0 defeat to Marseille at Stade de Toulouse last week. This comes days after Toulouse knocked OM out of Coupe de France on penalties.
Only one of Toulouse’s last seven league matches went over 2.5 goals.
As the focus returns to the league, Carles Martinez Novell’s side are in the race against time to secure a top-half finish.
Their plans of European qualification have been shattered after a dismal six-match winless streak (D2, L4). However, they can still make it, as they sit just three points worse off than the same stage last term.
Injuries have hampered Toulouse’s progress this campaign, with Frank Magri, Charlie Cresswell, and Rafik Messali sidelined for this encounter.

Whispers Predicts: Metz 0-2 Toulouse
Metz are clearly the underdogs in this matchup. Toulouse have started matches slowly as well in recent outings, scoring only once across their last six games. A First-half Double Chance draw or Toulouse at 2.00 makes sense
Les Grenats have also failed to score in five of their last six games. So, it makes sense to back BTTS – No at 1.80.
Toulouse have been superior to Metz in each of their last three H2Hs, winning by an aggregate score of 8-0. Given La Tefece’s dominance, we expect Toulouse to win at 1.95.
Another bet worth a punt would be Aron Donnum to score or assist anytime at 2.50. The Norwegian scored and assisted in Toulouse’s reverse home fixture. Most recently, he provided a significant assist for Cresswell’s equaliser against Marseille in the Coupe de France.
> 1st Half Double Chance - Toulouse or draw at 2.00 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS - No at 1.80 | Likelihood: Very Likely
> Toulouse to win at 1.95 | Likelihood: Probable
> Aron Donnum to score or assist at 2.50 | Likelihood: Possible
