At the start of the week, FC Metz received Stade Malherbe de Caen as part of the 23rd day of Ligue 2. Not realistic enough in front of the Norman goals, the men of László Bölöni failed to score a single goal and conceded a draw (0-0). Enough to have some regrets for the Garnets, which would have stuck with the Girondins of Bordeaux in case of victory, after the club with the scapular has lost against Niort. Finally, the Messins are 4e with 37 pointsonly 3 points from Sochaux2nd, and 11 points from Havreleader.

The next 2 meetings of the Mosellans should give them the opportunity to move up the rankings. For the 24th and 25th days to come, Metz will face Dijon (19th) then Nimes (17th). On paper, the Moselle club is far superior to these 2 teams placed in the relegation zone and will have to take the opportunity to recover 6 points that seem within reach. Recently, a major operation has been formalized, something to please the supporters.

Oukidja extends to Metz

This Tuesday, February 14, the day after the match against Caen, FC Metz announced on its social networks that it was extending its goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja! Arrived at the club in the summer 2018the former player of RC Strasbourg is currently arguing 5th season with the Garnets. As he was coming to the end of his contract at the end of the season, the Franco-Algerian goalkeeper of 34 ans extended his contract by 2 years and is now linked to FC Metz until 2025.

A news to which many Metz supporters reacted positively on social networks. The Algerian international (6 caps) enjoys a good popularity rating in Moselle where we salute the work done on his slightly too virulent behavior which in the past may have failed him. In total, Oukidja played 142 matches under the garnet jersey, for 48 clean sheets, including 8 made this season. The player born in Nevers is very attached to the club and will now do everything to contribute to the rise of his team in Ligue 1.
