15th in Ligue 1 last year, FC Metz managed to avoid what it tended to do in recent years when it found the elite: take the lift. However, the Garnets should still have a lot to do this season to try to keep their place in this championship. And it’s not off to a good start for Vincent Hognon’s men who lost their first 3 games against Monaco (0-1), Lille (1-0) and PSG (1-0) at the end of the game on Wednesday evening despite their numerical superiority at 11 against 9.
For its part, Reims made a rather blunt entry into the French top 10 but it is clear that the club is part of it after having obtained 6th place in the last championship. Also, the Champenois, who only found the elite in 2018, will play in the Europa League this season. However, David Guion’s men are experiencing an ignition delay in these first weeks of competition. After taking a point in Monaco (2-2), they were defeated by Lille (0-1) then by Angers (1-0) last Sunday. Thursday, they went to seek their qualification for the 3rd preliminary round of the Europa League by winning by a short header against Servette (0-1).
