Lille vs Metz Competition – France Ligue 1 Stadium – Stade Pierre Mauroy Date: 6th May 2017 Kick-off time – 19:00 GMT Live in-play betting – bet365
Resurgent Lille will host Metz who will be looking to build a winning momentum as the season comes to an end. Lille are currently 11th in the league table with 43 points from 35 league games. They are just 1 point behind 9th placed Rennes and a win in this game could see them jump to the top half of the table. They are currently on a run of 2 consecutive wins and have 3 wins from their last 6 games. Their home form has been poor – prior to their last home game, they went 5 straight home games without a win, losing four of those fixtures. Metz are 15th in the league table with 39 points from 34 games. They are currently 6 points above the drop and will need at least 3 more points to secure their safety this season. They have lost 4 of their last 6 league games despite winning their last league game. Their away form is a little desperate – they have 8 losses from their last 10 away games, and the other two have been draws. Bookmakers recognize Metz’ poor away form and make Lille strong odds-on favourites to come out on top in this tie (1.66).
