Dunkerque desperately need points on Friday, Oct 23 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Dunkerque come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Metz, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Dunkerque face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Metz have won 4 of 4 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Dunkerque won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.5 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Dunkerque a slight edge, but Metz are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
