Rennes travel to face Metz on 28 November 2025 after entering one of their strongest periods of the season, backed by three consecutive victories that restored confidence and rhythm in their play.
Metz were brought back to earth
Metz suffered a painful setback at the weekend, losing 2–3 to Brest after conceding in the final seconds. Despite the defeat, the “wine-reds” have shown on multiple occasions that they are competitive and difficult to break down. Their home matches, in particular, are often intense and balanced, with the team demonstrating ambition and resilience. Metz may not have the individual quality of Rennes, but their work rate and compact structure keep them alive in most duels.
Rennes carry momentum into the match
Rennes have finally stepped into a stable rhythm, winning three consecutive league matches and tightening their defensive organisation. The team plays with confidence, maintains good balance between midfield and attack, and generally looks far more secure than in previous weeks. Their current form naturally gives them an edge, though away matches like this one often come with potential traps - especially against a Metz side that rarely collapses.
Prediction: BTTS - yes
Both teams have shown enough in recent weeks to suggest they can find the net. Metz play with courage at home, while Rennes arrive in excellent offensive form. The matchup looks balanced, with neither defence fully reliable.
