Reims host Metz at Stade Auguste Delaune, Reims on Friday, Apr 16 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2.

Reims come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Metz travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Reims lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Metz won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

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