Stade Saint-Symphorien will host Wednesday’s relegation playoff game between Metz and Reims. Les Grenats survived Dunkerque in the semis, but their display was anything but good against the ten-man opponent. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the first leg. Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run ahead of the trip to Metz.
With les Grenats being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to home with their hands empty. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Reims defeated Metz 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Forward Keito Nakamura is back from suspension, while Amadou Kone is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. The likes of Daramy, Diakhon, Fofana, and Khadra are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
