Lens will look to build on their recent rise in Ligue 1 when they travel to Metz for their matchday 10 assignment. Hosts Metz go into the Wednesday clash sitting at the bottom of the standings and Lens second. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Metz remain winless going into their 10th league game and will be more concerned at the number of goals they’ve been shipping. A 6-1 defeat to Lille on Sunday was the latest blow to their plans at escaping the drop zone.
Having managed just two points, they are now left seven adrift of safety. The hosts have the worst defensive record, after conceding 26, and also the joint poorest attacking run, scoring six goals.
Lens have lately shown clear intentions in the Ligue 1 title race. A 2-1 win over Marseille, who went into the last round as league leaders, lifted them to second. Les Sang et Or are just a point behind champions PSG.
In the top seven, Lens are the only ones without European assignments this season, which guarantees more time for player recovery. In the long run, that aspect should offer the visitors a lift as they target a good season.
So far, they’ve only lost to PSG and Lyon, but they arrive for this game with a five-match unbeaten run. In each of their last three outings, they posted wins, scoring six times.

Our Metz vs Lens Prediction
Metz haven't had a great return to Ligue 1 after one season away. They were tipped to struggle, but not this much, as they haven't even won a game. Recent matches against Lens mostly went Metz’s way, but this could turn out differently.
Lens are coming off a key win, and their recent rise has them among the league title contenders. Now trailing PSG by just a point, Lens will see the Metz game as a chance to keep their challenge alive. Our prediction for Metz v Lens is that Lens wins.
