Metz analysis
At the end of matchday 11 we see that Metz conceded more goals than they scored, with 17 goals conceded and 9 scored.
With an average ball possession of 34.45% per game in the current league, Metz cannot call itself a team that holds the game in its hands, rather it prefers the counterattacking strategy. But if they want to try to win the game against Nantes they must try to impose their game to create difficulties for their opponents.
The adaptation of Kevin Van Den Kerkhof with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Metz last game of the season, against Olympique Lyonnais. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
