Goal Statistics

Metz's defensive record is to be admired, S. Le Mignan's men having conceded 1 or less in 15 consecutive Ligue 2 matches. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Dunkerque makes sense in this context.

With a PG of just 0.9, Metz look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that Dunkerque haven't conceded a goal in 3 consecutive Ligue 2 matches, and it could be a long afternoon for S. Le Mignan's men.
