Metz, France – E don happen! This Saturday, Metz go jam with Marseille for Stade Saint-Symphorien. Na big clash wey fit show us who fit shine for the Ligue 1 table as we dey enter Gameweek 7.
As e be, Metz never fit win any match dis season; dem don only gather 2 points, wahala no dey small. Last week, dem draw 0-0 with Le Havre, wey no too sweet for dem mouth. Na dem be the only team wey dey hold zero victory as we dey talk, abi wetin we go call am, adventure into disappointment?
For the other side, Marseille don dey show say dem fit perform well. After dem gree bounce back to win 2-1 against Strasbourg last week, dem dey waka with ginger, so dem go try carry dat energy enter dis match. Na three consecutive wins dem don collect, so dem no wan slow down.
To make matta worse, Metz dey struggle to score goals like say na rare commodity. Dem don score only five goals dis season, making dem the third lowest-scoring group for Ligue 1. And last week’s match, dem no even manage aim any shot for Le Havre. E be like say dem dey practice to become the legend of zero goals!
But wait, make we no jinx Metz too much. Dem fit bring some fire, especially as dem no wan make dis their home ground turn to hospital for their pride. Dem don win 10 out of 12 matches before now for dis Ligue 1 area. Hopes dey high! Dem need to wake up o, otherwise dem go find demself dey struggle for relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Marseille dey show promise to avoid big big wahala too. Dem dey third for the table with 12 points, and na only three points separate dem from di top. If dem fit win dis match, na back-to-back away wins go shine for dem side for di first time since 2025 don start. Last season, dem no even carry any majority loss against newly promoted teams, so dem dey primed to deliver another sweet performance.
In terms of players wey dey miss match, Metz go be minus their star player wey dey heel injury, so dem go need backup plans oh. But dey hope to get some players wey dey fit return for dis match. On di side of Marseille, dem gatz deal with some injuries too, and we dey watch as dem go line up for dis encounter.
As the match dey fast approach, the predictions dey fly. Some dey say “na draw go happen” while others dey say “Marseille go carry am”. But one thing sure be say, na football we go see and anything fit happen. Na point to prove for both teams.
