PAU vs Metz, 29 January 2027, Ligue 2: form, head-to-head and match facts

Pau, sitting 16th with just five points from one win, two draws and three defeats, will host a confident Metz side that sit fifth on nine points, unbeaten in five games. The home side has struggled offensively, managing only four goals while conceding six, whereas Metz have already netted eight and kept a clean sheet all season. A clash between Pau’s desperate need for points and Metz’s steady climb could prove decisive in the lower half of the table. If Pau can tighten up at the back, they might at least salvage a point; otherwise, Metz look poised to extend their unbeaten run and push further up the standings.
