Nantes desperately need points on Friday, Apr 9 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Metz come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 2D 0L). Nantes travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 3), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Metz here — they've won 5 of 10 previous meetings against Nantes, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: Metz look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Nantes will make it uncomfortable. Metz to win.
