Ligue 1 Gameweek 23，Can Lyon win four consecutive league games?

Nine days after securing a commendable 1-1 draw against Marseille, Metz faced Montpellier with hopes of moving up the standings. Unfortunately, a 3-0 defeat ensued, marked by Issiaga Sylla's early goal, Modibo Sagnan's header, and Teji Savanier's penalty. Despite some chances, Metz, with a five-man backline, couldn't break through. The loss extends their winless streak to nine games in Ligue 1, with eight defeats, leaving them second-from-bottom in the table, just one point above the bottom team and five behind several teams. Relegation to Ligue 2 looms as a significant concern for Laszlo Boloni's side.

After a slow start with just one win in their first 14 games, Lyon has turned things around with six victories in their last eight Ligue 1 matches, including the last three. They've climbed to 11th place, now eight points clear of the relegation zone. Despite a challenging season, Lyon has a chance for a major trophy as they face Strasbourg in the Coupe de France quarter-finals shortly after Friday's match. However, Lyon has struggled to win by a significant margin in Ligue 1 this season. While Lyon dominated Metz with eight consecutive wins from 2015 to 2020, recent encounters have been less favorable, with only one win in their last five meetings. They salvaged a late 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture during Fabio Grosso's tenure as coach.
