THE PREDICTION
The long-term injury to Ligue 1 top scorer Ibrahima Niane will be keenly felt by Metz, especially after a stunning start to the season which saw him score his side’s first six goals of the campaign. They are likely to struggle to score goals now but they face a side on a downward curve here as Saint-Etienne – after an excellent start to the campaign – have lost their last three games to come crashing back down to earth. The visitors are bound to be a little nervy after that run and will look to tighten up here, and with Metz missing their firepower up front, the prediction is for this match to feature under 2.5 goals.
