A last prestigious match at St Symphorien before saying goodbye to Ligue 1. This Sunday, on behalf of the 36th day, FC Metz, bottom of the championship, welcomes OL, and their seven titles of champion of France.
The misclassified garnet has not won in L1 since January 16. For its part, Lyon remains on two victories in Marseille and against Montpellier and despite a disappointing season, the ” Gones ” are still in the race to snatch a possible European qualification.
In the last three league games (Lyon, Angers and PSG), Coach Antonetti hopes for at least one victory, to save honor. And against Lyon, the Corsican technician would like the Grenats, despite the absences, and the crisis of results, to let go and compete with this big arm of the championship.
Hostile or not?
This Sunday, the reception of the garnet public is also likely to be icy. In the crosshairs of Metz supporters: Coach Antonetti, who judged the climate of St Symphorien against Brest, hostile.
This statement by the Corsican technician, last Sunday in Montpellier, particularly annoyed the ultra garnets who consider this outing totally disproportionate. They are not entirely wrong, because apart from minor incidents after the match against Monaco, the Messin public behaved well.
Upset, the two kops of St Symphorien, promised against Lyon to react!
Faced with this growing and threatening rebellion, Coach Antonetti partly returned to his remarks last Sunday.
The Messin public has the right to be unhappy.
