Dunkerque - Metz

Dunkerque arrive at this encounter with renewed momentum after a dramatic 3-2 victory away to Nantes last week. They now return to Stade Marcel-Tribut for this Ligue 2 matchday 10 fixture on 23 October 2026, aiming to find consistency after a turbulent run that saw them struggle to string results together throughout September and August.

Metz also enter the contest off the back of a high-scoring win, having edged out Sochaux 3-2 in their latest outing. The visitors have shown a tendency for tight, competitive affairs, including a 2-2 draw against Saint-Etienne and a narrow loss to Dijon earlier this month. History suggests a high-scoring affair, as their most recent league meeting on 15 March 2025 ended in a 3-2 win for Metz, continuing a trend of attacking football between these two sides.
