We're heading to Ligue One for our next match prediction this week as struggling Metz host Marseille in what should be an interesting clash at the Stade Saint-Symphorien. Stephane Le Mignan's Maroons have struggled this season and are yet to win, while Roberto De Zerbi's Phocaeans have started the season brightly.

This is emphasised by the league table where after six games of the campaign so far, Metz sit bottom of the table with just two points collected from six matches. In contrast, Marseille have won four of their opening six matches, losing the other two games, and sit third in the table, ahead of Monaco and Strasbourg on goal difference but three points behind PSG and Lyon.

As you would expect for the bottom club Metz, their form isn't great heading into this fixture. Without a win this season, they have at least drawn two of their last three. A 1-1 home draw with Angers was followed by a 5-2 defeat away to AS Monaco, but last weekend they earned another point with a 0-0 draw at home to Le Havre.

Marseille's form heading into this fixture is outstanding. They began a their run of three wins with an impressive 1-0 win over Paris St. Germain and then followed that with a 2-1 away win over Strasbourg, two wins over teams that were above them in the table. Then in midweek, they thrashed Ajax 4-0 in their second Champions League League Stage game.
