Ligue 1 Preview: Reims vs. Metz

Lance's form this season is really unsatisfactory. The regular season of Ligue 1 ended with three consecutive losses, kicking himself from the safe zone to the relegation playoff zone. They scored 8 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses in the 34th game of the Ligue 1 regular season. In the first leg of the playoffs, Reims tied Mess 1-1 away. The team also played against Paris Saint-Germain in the French Cup final last weekend, and the final result was unexpectedly defeated and eliminated. In terms of overall performance, Lance is inferior in both offense and defense this season.

Messe was relegated to the French Ligue 2 this season and played well. Although the team failed to enter the helicopter zone, it was still in the playoff zone with an absolute advantage. The team won 18 wins, 11 draws, 5 losses and 65 points in the 34th regular season games of the French Ligue 2. In terms of performance, Messe has no shortage of firepower on the offensive end this season, but there are still some flaws in the defense line. They were in the first round at home against Lance and were eventually tied by their opponents.

The two sides have been evenly matched in the past six matches. Lance has barely performed in Ligue 1 this season, but he has no choice but to go through the Black May, and he lost three consecutive times and dived straight into the relegation play-off. In the last two games, he also tied Metz first and then belonged to Paris Saint-Germain. There has not been any victory in May. Messe has shown good competitiveness in the French Ligue 2 this season, but the team has always had hidden dangers on the defensive end, especially in the second half of the schedule. Combining the fundamentals of the two teams, individuals may be interested in Metz being unbeaten or even advancing in regular time.
