Metz heads into this match after a heavy 8-0 defeat in a friendly against Hoffenheim. They typically employ a 4-3-3 formation that focuses on quick transitions, particularly on the flanks. The attacking trio of Ibou Sané, Giorgi Tsitalshvili, and Cheikh Sabaly poses a significant threat, while Jessy Deminget orchestrates play from midfield, maintaining balance and dictating tempo. All players are fit and available for selection.
