Saint Etienne have had a rough run lately, losing three of their last five games, with just one win and a draw in that stretch. Metz are struggling even more - they've lost four of their last five, and their defense has been leaking goals badly. When these two teams meet, the games tend to be lively and high-scoring, with several recent meetings finishing with lots of goals for both sides.

Given how shaky both teams look and how open their past meetings have been, this looks like a close, hard-to-call match. Neither side is in good form, so a draw seems like a fair outcome, though Saint Etienne might have a slight edge at home.
