Lyon to boost recovery hopes against Metz
Lyon vs FC Metz - 22/12/2021
1980
This season has been an underwhelming one for Lyon in Ligue One. OL are currently midtable as they host Metz at Groupama Stadium on Wednesday night.
The middle of the Ligue One table is that congested that Lyon could well surge up the table if results in the latest round of fixtures go their way.
At the moment, Peter Bosz’s team are 13th place in the table, but just five points adrift of the European spots, with a game in hand on Montpellier who occupy the last berth for continental football for next season.
Unsurprisingly, considering their position in the table, OL’s recent form has not been great of late, as they head into this game on the back of a three-game winless run in the French top-flight. Last time out in Ligue One they drew 0-0 at reigning champions Lille.
Their recent record at the Groupama Stadium is a mixed one, as they have won two, drawn one and lost one of their last four league matches on home soil.
Metz are in the relegation play-off spot in Ligue One but are just a point from safety and only out of the automatic relegation spots courtesy of a superior goal difference to 19th place Lorient.
The visitors recent league form has been inconsistent, as they have won two and lost two of their last four Ligue One matches.
A 4-1 home win over relegation rivals Lorient ended a mini two-game losing streak in the French top-flight.
Metz have a poor recent away record in Ligue One, having won just one of their last five games on their travels while suffering three defeats in the run too.
Forebet predicts that Lyon will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
