Fundamentals: Lyon started low and went high this season, the reason is that the former manager had difficulty controlling the dressing room, since the change of manager, Lyon has been singing all the way, has come out of the relegation zone to the 11th place in the league, it can be seen that the strength of the team is still there, and the new coach's adjustment is also remarkable. In terms of form, Lyon has won 4 consecutive victories recently, defeating strong teams such as Marseille, Lille, and Nice, and its strength has been quite stable, like the majesty of a strong team. In the last 10 games, 6 wins and 4 losses, scored 14 goals and conceded 13 goals, kept 5 clean sheets and kept 1 clean sheet. Metz scored 10 games, 2 draws and 8 losses without a win, morale was low, only 4 goals were scored and 16 goals conceded, and there were many problems at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Lyon will face the French Cup semi-finals four days after this game, and the opponent is Strasbourg, which is not strong, so Lyon may stay for the next game. However, Ligue 1 should be the first battlefield for Lyon, and the French Cup is still with Paris Saint-Germain present, and this time facing Metz, who is at a low point in form, it is the best choice to take all three points.
Statistically, the level 2 handicap is slightly shallow, which is the highest initial concession for Lyon on the road this season, and if it is lifted to level 3, the confidence in Lyon will be even stronger. Due to the fact that Metz is in a really sluggish state, he will not be able to go directly to Lyon to win.
Final result recommendation: Lyon wins.
