Match preview: Metz vs Rodez

Metz and Rodez face off at Stade Saint-Symphorien, in a match for the 33rd round of Ligue 2. The last encounter between the two sides in this league saw Metz win (1-3) on 23-08-2024. Recent direct encounters favour the home team, where they have secured 2 wins and 1 draw from the past 3 matches. The home advantage could prove crucial here as Rodez has shown inconsistent performances, particularly in away games.

Team analysis: Metz

The home side currently ranks 3rd, having amassed 61 points from 17 wins, 10 draws, and 5 losses. Their penultimate match resulted in a 2-2 draw at home against Red Star, followed by a 2-1 defeat away. Metz is not heavily influenced by home advantage, reflecting similar results in both home and away fixtures; their records over the last 30 matches include 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses when playing away, scoring 22 goals and conceding 14, while at home they have achieved 10 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 loss, with a remarkable tally of 33 goals scored and just 11 conceded. In the league, Metz has collected 23 points from the last 30 available, securing 7 victories, 2 draws, and 1 defeat at home in their last 10 matches. Although their defensive solidity has been a concern, having conceded in 9 of their last 10 games, their attacking prowess is notable, with goals in 9 of those recent matches. Out of 32 league games, Metz has only managed to turn the score around once in 10 occasions where they conceded first.

Recognising the importance of maintaining at least 3rd place in the Ligue 2 standings, Metz is motivated to secure progression to the play-offs without any dip in performance at this critical juncture. Following their setback in the last match, they are under pressure to deliver a solid performance at home against Rodez to capture three vital points.

Team analysis: Rodez

Currently in 14th place, the visiting team has recorded 9 wins, 10 draws, and 13 losses, accumulating a total of 36 points. In their last fixture, they drew at home with Paris (1-1), having previously lost away to Laval (2-1). Rodez tends to perform better in home games, as they have garnered 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses as visitors in their last 30 matches, compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home. For the league, Rodez has only managed to earn 8 points from 30 available, with 1 win, 5 draws, and 4 losses in their latest 10 away matches. Defensive challenges have plagued the team, conceding in 8 of their last 10 encounters, yet they have consistently found the net, scoring at least once in their last 10 league contests. There is a trend of goals in their away matches as well, with 14 of the last 16 fixtures resulting in over 1.5 goals. Out of 32 matches, Rodez has turned the score around only 3 times after going behind in 17 games.

Though the chances of survival have improved, it is essential for Rodez to display a significant level of seriousness on the pitch once more. The team has not managed a win in three Ligue 2 games, leading to increasing pressure on the coaching staff, who must implement a fresh tactical approach to potentially surprise a Metz side eager to solidify their position among the league’s top teams.
