In the previous ten years, Metz were three times relegated from Ligue 1. It seems that in the current season, it will be the fourth time, as there are six rounds before the end, with five points fewer than the safety. Metz won only one point in the last three matches, so they must make a complete turnaround to save their season. Last weekend, Metz lost 4-3 on the road against Brest. The home side had an xG of 3.37, while guests had 1.68, so the margin between the two teams could be even bigger.
Lens failed to repeat the previous season when they finished second on the table. Actually, Lens will hardly sneak into the top four as they are six points behind the desired spot. Lens are in poor form, too, winning only one point in the last three matches. In the previous game, they played 1-1 at home against Le Havre. Lens was a big favorite to win, but they lacked creativity, so splitting points was the fairest outcome.
Metz vs Lens pick: Both teams to score - Yes
Both teams have big problems in defense. Metz allowed 11 goals in the last three matches, while Lens conceded six goals during the same span. We should expect both teams to score on Friday night at Saint-Symphorien in Metz.

Metz team news
After a 4-3 loss against Brest, Metz's head coach coach, Laszlo Boloni, was frustrated. He said that they had a great start with Ismael Traore's goal, but after that, they lost midfield too easily. Brest pushed Metz whole the game and it will be hardly different against Lens.
Metz will be without Christophe Herelle, Joel Asoro, and Benjamin Tetteh in the upcoming tie.

Lens team news
Lens surprisingly split the points against Le Havre. After the game, the head coach Franck Haise said that his team lacked accuracy in the final twenty meters. He stated, "We had 39 crosses, a certain number should have brought danger. I haven't seen the 39 centers again but I'm not sure that we were often dangerous in these actions. And as there was a lot of density in the center, we were forced to create danger from the wings,”
Jimmy Cabot is the only injured player for Lens.
