Metz Look to Extend Dominance Over Dunkerque

Metz sit two places above Dunkerque after collecting two more points from the same number of games. Dunkerque have collected just two wins in their last five outings while Metz have added a draw to their two victories in that stretch. Metz have taken all four previous meetings between the sides and carry the stronger attack with 2.2 goals scored per game overall. Dunkerque average 1.4 goals at home but have failed to score in four of their nine league matches. Both teams concede two goals a game on average and Metz have been involved in both teams scoring in seven of nine fixtures. The contest at Stade Marcel Tribut may hinge on whether Metz can repeat their away scoring form against a Dunkerque side that keeps clean sheets in none of its games.
