Brest, France – Na dem go gather for Stade Francis-Le Ble this Sunday as Brest and Metz dey ready for big time clash. Dem two teams dey jostle to move away from relegation zone, and na only one point dey separate dem for table. Brest dey sit for 15th place after dem suffer 3-0 beat from Marseille, while Metz dey proudly wave their flag one place up after dem win Nice 2-1.
Omo, last season na dem dey play Champions League, but this season we no go lie, things don turn wahala for Brest as dem dey struggle to score. They don waka four matches without finding net, and cases of goals dey rare like money in one naira notes (no dey look me like say I no sabi). Their last victory for home don make dem carry three matches without win, and if this continue, e go be dem longest run ever since dem start to dey play for they own turf.
But na where e dey spice! Last three meetings wey dem get with Metz, na dem dey always carry the day (abi na night?) with wild 4-3 victory last year April. This match go get plenty tension as both teams wan show dem serious face.
After dem look dead for October, Metz don suddenly come alive. Dem don tighten their defense, only conceding one goal for three matches, compared to dem earlier wahala wey dem sabi concede 13 goals for three matches. Na some serious tactical adjustment wey wey dem coach don make, dey give dem some confidence for pitch.
If Metz fit win this match, e go mark dem fourth win in a row since 1998. Na dem even get chance win two away matches back-to-back for first time in two years. But e no go easy as Brest dey stubborn for their ground.
Who go sit down? We go see, but Brest go dey miss some players. Their midfield wey dey chop injury no go play, while Metz dey hope say dem go fit fix own injury issues. Sure say na we go see how ‘Les Pirates’ go fight dem nautical battle against ‘Les Graoullys’.
Omo, confidence dey run for Metz as dem don gather strong motivation from previous win, but we fit still expect Brest to show say dem fit meet up and give Metz reason to fear. Make we grab popcorn and gatt dey watch this show!
