Accustomed to blowing hot and cold since the start of the season, the FC Nantes will have to hold its place against the red lantern, Metz, to try to start a new positive dynamic, this Sunday (kick-off at 5:15 p.m.). The Canaries were beaten by Monaco after a spectacular match in midweek (3-5).
A meeting which confirmed the rise of Luis Castro’s team on the offensive level. Led by the talented Abline, Nantes has scored 5 goals in its last 2 outings. But the FCN should not underestimate its opponent of the day. If Metz still showed a worrying news a week ago, the burst of pride against Lens on Wednesday (2-0) gave a boost of confidence to the promoted Lorraine. The Grenats will, however, be deprived of their playmaker and best player Gauthier Hein, excluded against the Sang et Or for having taken off his jersey while celebrating a goal.
The expected compositions
Nantes : future.
Metz : future.
Where to watch the match?
