Metz vs Auxerre: match statistics
The match between Metz and Auxerre is set to be a clash between two teams fighting against relegation, currently occupying 18th and 16th place in the table respectively. Metz have poor home form with just a 20% win rate at their own stadium, but their goal difference in home matches (-6) is better than Auxerre's away record (-13). The visitors have not won a single away match this season (0% Win%) and failed to score in as many as 70% of their away fixtures, rendering their attack practically helpless on the road. Both teams are on disastrous runs – Metz are winless in their last 5 matches (0.2 PPG), while Auxerre have managed only 0.4 PPG over the same period. Given the equally poor form of both sides, their low scoring efficiency, and the fact that Metz have a better chance of picking up points at home than Auxerre do away, the most likely outcome is a draw, although the hosts' slight edge in home statistics gives them a chance to secure three valuable points.
