Metz predicted XI v Saint-Étienne: Didier Lamkel Zé and Christophe Hérelle start | OneFootball

After a season of disappointment, FC Metz have one last chance to save their campaign and remain in Ligue 1 as they host AS Saint-Étienne in the second leg of their relegation playoff. Les Grenats were outplayed in the first leg and will have to overturn a 2-1 deficit if they have any hope for survival.

The future of combative manager László Bölöni looks bleak regardless of the result, but defeat will almost certainly seal his fate, with this in mind the coach has made two changes from the team that lost last Thursday.

Christophe Hérelle will replace Sadibou Sané in the centre of defence as Bölöni sides with experience over youth, while on the left of the attack, the manager will pick Didier Lamkel Zé over Cheikh Sabaly.
