Relegation Scrap: Metz vs. Clermont in a Desperate Battle for Survival
- In a crucial Ligue 1 clash for both teams, Metz (18th place) and Clermont (20th place) face off in a bid to revive their hopes of staying in the top flight.
Metz on the Rise After Ending Winless Run:
- Metz finally snapped a ten-game winless streak (one draw, nine losses) with a victory over Nantes last week. This vital win lifted them four points clear of the relegation zone and eased some pressure on manager László Bölöni.
- Interestingly, this is Metz’s second win against Nantes this season, and historically, they have never lost a home Ligue 1 encounter against Clermont (one win, two draws).
- However, Metz will need to overcome their poor home form at Stade Saint-Symphorien, where they have lost their last five Ligue 1 matches, scoring only two goals in the process.
Clermont in Dire Straits, Seeking New Manager Bounce:
- Clermont are in a precarious position, sitting rock bottom of the table. They are winless in their last six matches (three draws, three losses), with a heavy defeat to Marseille in their most recent game.
- Despite the poor run, manager Pascal Gastien remains in charge, although he has been joined by Sébastien Bichard as an assistant. Bichard’s future role could be as manager if Clermont fails to avoid relegation.
- Clermont are currently seven points adrift of safety and will likely be relegated unless they can turn things around quickly.
Road Warriors vs. Struggling Home Team:
- A positive aspect for Clermont is their away form. They have collected ten out of their 17 points on the road this season.
- Interestingly, Clermont emerged victorious on this very ground in January, defeating Metz on penalties in the Coupe de France. This could provide a confidence boost for the visitors.

Prediction Verdict:
This match is a relegation six-pointer with both teams desperate for points. While Metz’s recent win and home advantage offer them a slight edge, Clermont’s away record and Coupe de France victory over Metz on this ground should not be discounted. A close and tense match is likely, with a narrow win for either team or a draw a possibility.
