We said: Metz 1-3 Lille

Metz have hit a purple patch of form to lift themselves out of the drop zone, but we cannot envisage Les Grenats making it three straight wins on Sunday. Lille have no more distractions in their pursuit of Champions League football, and we feel that Les Dogues will be comfortable winners this weekend. Read more.
