Metz predicted XI v Reims: Joel Asoro and Arnaud Bodart out | OneFootball

FC Metz head to Stade de Reims looking to earn promotion to Ligue 1. After the first leg of the promotion/relegation play-off, the scores are tied at 1-1.

Stéphane Le Mignan has a squad that is largely at full strength. He is, however, without Joel Asoro, who is recovering from an ankle injury but not in time to feature against Les Stadistes on Thursday night. Metz also find themselves without Belgian shotstopper Arnaud Bodart, who will miss this game due to a knee injury.

Guathier Hein, looking to gain promotion to Ligue 1 for the second consecutive season, having taken AJ Auxerre up last season before leaving to join Les Grenats, will start in the No.10 role, whilst Cheikh Sabaly is expected to lead the line.
