Pau FC had, just before the international break, found its cruising speed: four games without defeat, two consecutive victories, and a logical exit from the red zone (14th). After this fifteen-day break, Pau footballers will have to quickly get the machine back on the road, in Metz (10th), a team supposed to look up in this championship, but which remains on two defeats and three games without a win before this same truce. Didier Tholot for this trip to Moselle will be deprived of two suspended players: Sessi D’Almeida and Jean-Lambert Evan’sapart from the long-term injury of captain Antoine Batisse, there are no additional injuries before this match in the Yellow and Blue ranks.
