Sang et Or travel to the pitch of FC Metz, this Friday evening (9 p.m.), at the opening of the 29th day of Ligue 1. Last Saturday, RC Lens let valuable points slip away in the race for the Champions League by conceding a draw at home, against Le Havre (1-1) Now six points behind LOSC, fourth in the standings, six days before the end of the championship, the Sang et Or have perhaps (probably?) said goodbye to the most beautiful European competition.

“We have to be lucid enough to recognize that the first four places are not for us,” said Franck Haise pessimistically after the poor performance against the promoted Norman. In their last three matches, the Artésiens have conceded six goals. They will have to much less fragile, against a Metz in particularly good offensive form - five goals in two matches. Will they succeed? Will they leave the Saint-Symphorien with the three points?
