In a weekend match on Saturday Oct 8th, in week 11, Bordeaux hosts Metz at Stade Matmut-atlantique in a meeting of these two Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, a perfect day for football. Bordeaux is fresh off their 2-1 win against Laval. Josh Maja struck first for Bordeaux in the 5th minute, then Julien Maggiotti tied it up for Laval in the 56th minute. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Bordeaux should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 9th placed Metz is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Pau. Amadou Dia Ndiaye struck first for Metz in the 11th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Pau was frustrated by Metz’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Metz ended the match with the shutout victory. Metz is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Both Georges Mikautadze and Ablie Jallow have been the hottest scorers for Metz in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals. Josh Maja has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored 6 goals for Bordeaux.
