Metz have constantly traveled between League 1 and League 2 over the past decade. Last season they were relegated from League 1, and this season, they are one of the candidates for promotion. Currently, they are in the 4th spot but just two points behind the 2nd-placed Bordeaux. Metz had a poor first half of the season and, at one point, even dropped to 12th place on the league's table.
Since the winter break, they won six, drew five, and lost just one. But that loss came against Lyon in the Cup. In the league, they are on a 13-game unbeaten run. In the previous five games, they allowed zero goals!
Le Havre are the best team this season in League 2. They have been 14 seasons (including this one) in League 2, and it is not a surprise to see them on top, but how dominant they are is a big surprise. Currently, they are on a 24-game unbeaten run in League 2. With nine points more than second-placed Bordeaux, they are on the right course to win the title and gain promotion.
On the road, they have been outstanding throughout the season. In the first road match of the season, they lost 1:0 against Valenciens, but since then, they have won six and drawn six times! Their defense has been unbelievable, with only six allowed goals in 13 road matches.
Metz vs Le Havre pick: Draw
Both teams are in superb form before this game winning eight points in the previous four games.
Metz drew three of their last five home matches, and Le Havre drew four of their last five road matches. Neither team will be willing to take too much risk in this match. After everything is considered, we should see an even game where neither team should prevail.

László Bölöni, Metz's head coach, was trilled after a 3:0 win over Annecy in the last round. He said they played on a bad pitch and had to play much more direct football with many long balls. He congratulated his players for adapting to such a situation.
Metz should have the entire squad available for the Le Havre match.

Le Havre Team News
After a 2:1 over Laval, Le Havre's coach Luka Elsener spoke with the media. He congratulated his players and noted that he was only unhappy with the first 15 minutes of the second half. But, after a couple of changes, the reserves boosted the team, and they were once again in complete control of the match.
Center-defender, Gautier Lloris, will miss his seventh consecutive game due to injury. He is the only injured player in Le Havre's squad.
