  • 0' What a night it is going to be! FC Metz welcome Olympique Lyonnais for this crunch clash at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 434 games and scored 360 goals.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jason Denayer, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saint-Symphorien with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lucas Tousart suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Metz needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Maxwel Cornet catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 35.
