Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rennes play host to Metz at their Roazhon Park on day 29 of the 2021/2022 Ligue 1 campaign. Les Rouges et Noirs impressed in a 4-2 win at Lyon, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to beat les Grenats. All Loic Bade, Kamal-Deen Sulemana, Lesley Ugochukwu, Romain Salin, and Jeremy Gelin should miss out with injuries for the home side. Metz, on the other hand, are on a seven-game winless run in the French top flight.
Les Grenats are not regarded as good travelers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Rennes’ party at Roazhon Park. Both Niane and Nguette are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while Ibrahim Amadou is back from suspension. All Delaine, Traore, Maiga, Udol, and Centonze are out of contention with injuries.

Highlighted Team (Metz):
Thanks to amalgamation of two amateur clubs Metz were founded in 1932 and soon they became a professional team. Les Grenats are one of the oldest professional teams in France, but they have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy. Metz finished the 1997/1998 season in second place in the standings and it has to be noted that they were level on points with champions Lens (worse goal difference).
However, les Grenats won Coupe de France on two occasions (1983/1984, 1987/1988), with the team beating Monaco and Sochaux respectively in the title games. Emmanuel Adebayor is considered one of the most famous players who whore Metz jersey and you should know that the Togolese attacker scored 15 goals in 44 appearances in the league for the club.
Metz play their home games at Stade Saint-Symphorien, the venue which was opened back in September, 1923. Les Grenats wear red shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is white.
