Ligue 1: Metz vs. Lille Preview (Will Metz Mess Lille Up?)
By: Julien | August 10th, 2007
In the second week of Ligue 1 action, Lille will take on FC Metz. In 2005-2006,FC Metz was relegated from the first division. They have returned this season. Les Messins lost their opening match of the season 1-0 to Le Mans. Their upcoming match is at their home, Stade Saint-Symphorien. They will surely want to win their next match after a bad start to the season. The match will be played this Sunday at 18:00h (France time). The Nord newspaper, Nord-Éclair, had an interesting article about Les Dogues. The quote from the article read: “Face à l’hécatombe, il y a urgence” (faced against the bloodshed, there is urgencey) . According to the Nordiste newspaper, many LOSC supporters are worried about the club’s defensive line. The Lillois defense has two injured players. Metz has four players scratched (Bassong, Barbosa, Cardy and former LOSC player, Gygax). Last week, Lille tied their opening Ligue 1 match at home against Lorient (0-0). This next match may be difficult with a crippled defense, and a desperate Metz side. I predict a score of 1-1. Metz will play well, but they will only manage one goal.
