The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Wednesday's Ligue 1 clash between Lyon and Metz, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Lyon 2-0 Metz

Despite causing a surprise upset in this fixture last season, Metz will be the underdogs heading to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais and could be in for a difficult challenge against a Lyon side desperate to turn their domestic fortunes around. The absences of Sarr and Pajot in midfield will likely be felt by the visitors, while the return of Paqueta is a boost for the hosts, who should possess enough quality in their side to secure a routine win on Wednesday.
