Auxerre

In the current context of Ligue 1, the confrontation between Metz and Auxerre is crucial for both teams. Metz have failed to win in their last six games, while Auxerre are on an even more worrying run, winless in their last seven games. The question arises: can any of these teams break their losing streak or, as has been usual, will they split the points?

Metz team analysis

Metz's current situation is complicated. Since the arrival of Benoit Tavenu as coach less than a month ago, the team has shown signs of improvement, although it still lacks momentum. Their last game was a 0-0 draw against Lille, a result that, although it did not give them victory, was a positive step considering that Lille is at the top of the table.

State of form

The numbers reflect Metz's struggle this season. With only one point in their last games, the difference with the playoff zone is minimal, which means that a victory could catapult them out of the last position.
