To double the bet. This Wednesday, on the occasion of the 16th day of Ligue 1, FC Metz (19th) receives Montpellier Hérault Sporting Club (11th).
Courageous and victorious in Nice (0-1), last Saturday, the Garnets are aiming for a second consecutive success in the league.
Faced with Hérault residents who travel poorly in Ligue 1 this season (Only one victory), the club at the Cross of Lorraine also hopes to break the syndrome of St Symphorien. Fred Antonetti’s men have not won at home since January 24.
Maïga still forfeit
Touched a calf in Marseille, Habib Maiga missed the reception of Bordeaux. The Ivorian then went to Nice, but during the warm-up, he felt a new embarrassment and he preferred to take no risk and left in his place to Vincent Pajot. Still upset by his calf, the former Stéphanois, will once again be absent for the meeting against Montpellier.
For his part, Farid Boulaya, who had seen red against the Girondins, is still suspended for this match against the MHSC.
Montpellier orphan of Delort and Laborde
Beaten on their lawn in La Mosson by Lyon (0-1), last Sunday, the teammates of the former Grenat Florent Mollet, total for the moment in the league, five wins, four draws and six defeats. The departures, during the summer transfer window, of Andy Delort (Nice) and Gaëtan Laborde (Rennes), were not fully digested.
