Nancy – Metz

Nancy, sitting tenth with seven points from two wins, one draw and three losses, will host Metz who sit comfortably in fifth place on nine points after two victories and three draws and remain unbeaten. The home side have scored and conceded four goals each, while Metz enjoy a healthy +4 goal difference, having netted eight and let in only four. A win for Nancy could spark a much‑needed climb up the table, but Metz will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and push further into the European spots. The recent head‑to‑head record favors Metz, who have generally held the upper hand in this fixture, adding extra pressure on the Lorraine rivals to turn the tide.
