Metz vs Strasbourg lineups and the latest team news
Metz
Metz opened their season with a heavy 1-5 defeat. However, this start on the return to the top flight has been forgotten and Metz are undefeated in four now (W2 D2). They won twice on the road but at home only managed consecutive 2-2 draws so far.
Last weekend Metz got a bit lucky to edge Lens 1-0 away from home. That said the ability to cause problems on counterattack once again helped a lot.
Metz welcome back Lo after suspension but there is no guarantee he will start as the back line used last weekend did very well at delivering a clean sheet. Mbaye and Tetteh continue to nurse injuries, while Jacques was sick at the start of the week. All 3 not ruled out but deemed doubtful.
Predicted Lineup – Oukidja (GK), Kouao, Sane, Cande, Udol, N'Doram, N’Duquidi, Asoro, Camara, Sabaly & Estupiana
Strasbourg
Strasbourg lost their perfect record at home, and won their first 2 home matches, last weekend. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Montpellier. The result was good for Strasbourg as they trailed 0-2 at halftime in this match but showed great character late on.
Collected 7 points from their 3 home games so far and scored 6 goals in those 3 matches. However, on the road yet to score or earn any points after consecutive defeats.
There are no serious injury issues in the squad and Le Racing travel for this game pretty much at full strength.
Mothiba came off the bench to score the equaliser last weekend. Now he could be rewarded with a start instead of veteran Gameiro
Predicted Lineup – Sels (GK), Perrin, Nyamsi, Sylla, Guilbert, Doukoure, Sissoko, Delaine, Diarra, Angelo & Mothiba

Player to Watch: Joel Asoro
Metz signed winger Joel Asoro so they can be causing problems on fast breaks. So far, Asoro has delivered and last weekend he scored the only goal in the win vs Lens. The way Metz are structured and operates Asoro is getting lots of room and long through balls so he’s very impactful.
With all that in mind and right after netting a decisive winner, we can see Asoro shine again in this home match.
