These two teams have leaked in the most goals out of all outfits in the elite class of French football so far in the season. However, both teams left a solid impression in the final third in their last weekend games.
It may sound weird, but Metz played pretty well away at the second-placed Lens last time out.
The team led by Frederic Antonetti could have easily snatched better result than a 4-1 defeat on the occasion. They leveled the score in the first half and did it in the second half once again but only to have a goal disallowed for a handball.
The only difference between Metz and Saint-Etienne is that the visitors are still searching for their maiden win of the season in the Ligue 1.
However, Saint-Etienne did manage to earn a massive point last weekend against Angers when they found a well-deserved equalizer in the third minute of the stoppage time.

到目前为止，这两支球队在本赛季法国足球精英级别的所有球队中进球最多。然而，在上周末的比赛中，两支球队都在最后三分之一的位置留下了深刻的印象。
这听起来可能有点奇怪，但梅茨上次在第二名的伦斯打得相当好。
弗雷德里克·安东内蒂率领的球队本可以轻松取得比4-1失利更好的结果。他们在上半场把比分扳平，下半场又扳平了比分，但那个进球因手球而被判无效。
梅茨和圣艾蒂安之间唯一的区别是客队仍然在寻找他们在法甲的赛季首胜。
然而，圣艾蒂安确实在上周末对愤怒队的比赛中取得了巨大的得分，他们在伤停补时阶段的第三分钟就扳平了比分。
