Metz vs Lille Prediction & Betting tips
The match between Metz and Lille, scheduled for Friday, February 6, 2026, at 9:45 PM (Romanian time), opens the 21st round of Ligue 1. Both teams are going through difficult times, looking for their first championship victory of this calendar year.
Metz:
They are in last place in the standings (18th) with just 12 points after 20 matches. The team coached by Benoît Tavenot has a series of 8 matches without a win in Ligue 1 (1 draw, 7 losses). Defender Jean-Philippe Gbamin is suspended after receiving a red card last season, while new signings Bouna Sarr are also unavailable due to knee injuries.
Lille:
They are in 5th place with 32 points, but their recent form is worrying, coming after 4 consecutive league defeats. The only ray of hope was the recent Europa League victory against Freiburg (1-0). Bruno Génésio faces a long list of absences, including Nabil Bentaleb, Thomas Meunier, Osame Sahraoui, Hamza Igamane and André Gomes. However, veteran Olivier Giroud is expected to lead the attack.
