| For a long time it looked as newly promoted Metz would be relegated back to Ligue 2 without a fight. After only managing two points out of a possible 27 from their first nine league games the team manage a winning streak. Three consecutive victories were followed, however by their recent 2-3 defeat at Brest after the international break. The recent home form of Metz suggests that a home win for Rennes is likely in Metz's favor. They have won their last two matches at the Stade Saint-Symphorien. However, they now face an opponent against whom they haven't managed a home victory since 2002. Rennes are unbeaten in their last eleven visits to Metz recording five wins and six draws. |
