Metz vs Marseille predictions and odds: Regain the spirit

Marseille has just had a game to forget when losing to Panathinaikos on penalties in the second leg of the third qualifying round of the European Cup. Thus, the representative of France has missed an appointment with the No. 1 European tournament.

This weekend, coach Marcelino's teachers and students return to the domestic tournament with a match in the second round on Metz's field. This is a good opportunity for them to find a victory and revive their spirits after the defeat in the continental arena.

Remember, the Port City team still maintains a good performance in the French league when defeating Reims in the opening round.

Returning to the home team, Metz does not have to choose the preferred style when they are rookies returning to the French No. 1 tournament this season. In fact, right in the opening match, Metz soon showed the physique of a heavyweight relegation candidate. Specifically, they had a disastrous 1-5 defeat to Rennes in the first match of the 2023/24 season.

- Metz: Oukidja; Colin, Traore, Cande, Kouao; Maiga, N'Doram; Sabaly, Camara, Maziz; Mikautadze.

- Marseille: Lopez; Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Lodi; Sarr, Kondogbia, Rongier, Ounahi; Vitinha, Aubameyang.
