Correct score prediction: Strasbourg 2-1 Metz
Strasbourg are in good form at the moment, having won four of their last six games, with the other two ending in draws.

The visitors have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last five games, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet against Strasbourg in their last eight matches.
Strasbourg have been conceding goals at home and away, so we predict a 2-1 home win, but Metz to grab a goal as well.

Strasbourg preview: Need to pick all three points
Strasbourg have yet to lose under Gary O’Neil, who picked up his first victory as they demolished Avranches 6-0 at the Coupe de France.
However, they need to improve their league form, and O'Neil should look to end their five-match winless run in the French top-flight.
The home side are expected to be without Emanuel Emegha and Tidiane Diallo due to knocks. Saidou Sow is out with a cruciate ligament tear, while Maxi Oyedele and Ismael Doukoure are doubtful.
Predicted lineups: Penders (GK), Hogsberg, Omobamidele, Chilwell, Ouattara, El Mourabet, Barco, Amougou, Enciso, Panichelli & Amo-Ameyaw
Last five matches
- Avranches 0-6 Strasbourg
- Nice 1-1 Strasbourg
- Strasbourg 2-1 Dunkerque
- Strasbourg 3-1 Breidablik
- Strasbourg 0-0 Lorient
Metz preview: Desperate for three points
The main problem for Metz at the moment is conceding early; when confidence is down, it adds more pressure.
They have a very poor record against Strasbourg, and it will require a strong performance to get something from this game.
Stephane Le Mignan’s men have conceded 38 goals this season are winless in their last three away matches in this competition.
Predicted lineups: Fischer (GK), Stambouli, Colin, S. Sane, Mboula, Deminguet, Traore, Mbaye, Hein, Tsitaishvili & I. Sane
Last five matches
- Metz 0-4 Montpellier
- Lorient 1-1 Metz
- Biesheim 0-3 Metz
- Metz 2-3 PSG
- Auxerre 3-1 Metz
Player to watch: Joaquin Panichelli
The Argentine forward joined Strasbourg last summer from Alaves, and he has taken no time to settle down at the French club.
The 23-year-old has scored 10 goals in the French top-flight, and he will be looking to add more to his goal tally this weekend.
