Metz – Annecy

Metz host Annecy in what promises to be a tight contest between the fifth‑placed side on nine points and the fourth‑placed club with ten. Both teams have scored eight goals so far, but Metz enjoy a superior goal difference of +4 to Annecy’s +1, reflecting their two wins and three draws without a loss. Annecy, meanwhile, have edged ahead in the table thanks to three victories and only one stalemate, despite having conceded seven times. The head‑to‑head will likely be decided by who can convert their chances first, as the two sides sit just one point apart with only a few games remaining in the campaign.
