Metz vs Boulogne prediction, odds and how to watch

Metz looked set for three points after Augustine Boakye struck twice in four minutes, but Saint-Étienne refused to fold and Jessy Deminguet's 89th-minute header earned the visitors a point in a fiery Ligue 2 contest.

Boulogne had the territory, the shots, and the corners, but Nantes had the composure when it counted. A stoppage-time penalty from Thomas Robinet was too little, too late.

Red Star ground out a narrow 1-0 win over Metz in Ligue 2, with Jovany Ikanga converting a second-half penalty to settle a match that Metz's goalkeeper kept competitive almost single-handedly.

Clermont and Boulogne served up a toothless stalemate in Ligue 2 on Friday night, with six yellow cards, ten substitutions and not a single goal to justify the aggravation.

Montpellier controlled everything but the scoreboard, missing three big chances and a penalty as Boulogne's ten men somehow left with a point. This is what a lack of accountability at the sharp end looks like.

Metz have drawn three of their last five Ligue 2 matches and look short of a cutting edge. Sochaux arrive unbeaten in five and keeping clean sheets for fun.

Grenoble Foot 38 host a Boulogne side that has not won in their last ten Ligue 2 matches. Something has to give on Friday night.

Dijon have failed to keep a single clean sheet in their last five Ligue 2 matches. Metz arrive on Monday without a defeat in five. Something has to give.
