Match preview: Pau vs Metz
Pau and Metz will compete at Stade du Hameau Idron 1 in a match for the 32nd round of Ligue 2. In their last encounter in this competition, on 04‑01‑2025, the result was a goalless draw (0‑0). Recent head-to-head results favour Metz, who have secured 1 victory and 2 draws in the last 3 matches against Pau. The home advantage could prove significant, as Pau exhibits marked discrepancies in their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Pau
After accumulating 9 wins, 12 draws, and 10 losses, Pau currently sits in 12th place, having secured 39 points. In their last fixture, they drew with Ajaccio (1‑1), following another draw at home against Clermont (2‑2). Pau appears to be significantly influenced by home conditions, showcasing stronger statistics in front of their fans. Their record shows 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses away, scoring 16 goals and conceding 26, compared to 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses at home, where they scored 17 and conceded 15. In their last 10 home games, Pau has earned 16 points from 30 possible, with 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses. Despite scoring regularly in 7 of their last 10 matches, they’ve conceded goals in 8 of those, indicating a lack of defensive solidity. Trends also show that in their home games, 11 out of their last 15 encounters have resulted in fewer than 2.5 goals. Despite managing not to lose the first goal in 15 matches, there have been no comeback wins for Pau either.
Team analysis: Metz
Currently in 3rd place with 17 wins, 10 draws, and 4 losses, Metz has accumulated 61 points. They recently drew with Red Star at home (2‑2), following a solid away win against Martigues (1-4). Remarkably, Metz is not overly influenced by home advantage and has shown consistent results both at home and away, with 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring 21 and conceding 14. They’ve been formidable at home as well, with 10 wins, 4 draws, and just 1 loss, scoring 33 goals and conceding 11.
In this competition, Metz is unbeaten away, marking 10 games without a loss. They’ve allowed goals in 9 of their last 10 matches which highlights some defensive vulnerabilities, yet they’ve managed to score in 9 of those 10 games. In the 31 matches played this season, they’ve only turned a match around once after trailing initially in 9 instances.
As they enter the final stages of Ligue 2, Metz still harbours realistic hopes for the title, a feat dependent on the results of direct rivals. It’s imperative for Metz to continue winning while making the most of their opportunities, particularly against a Pau side that lacks serious ambitions this season.
