Lille stopped PSG's years of domination last season when they won the title. The current league champions will visit Metz in the opening game of the French top division. Metz did a solid job in the league last season, finishing tenth with a decent forty-seven points. However, Frederic Antonetti's men face one of the league's best teams in its first game, after losing twice to them in the 2020/21 campaign. Lille is coming from a Super Cup final, defeating PSG in a 1-0 clash. LOSC was a better opponent that day, and are deservedly starting the season already with one trophy. Injuries are not a concern for either team, with the hosts missing Manuel Cabit who has played only three times for Metz last season. The guests are without two Portuguese players, Tiago Djalo and Xeka who are suspended for this game.

The hosts were poor at home last season, winning only five of nineteen duels here. Just twenty of the club's forty-seven points came from home performances, and their chances of taking points in the upcoming match are slim. Metz had a good preseason campaign, losing only one game, 0-1 vs. Borussia Monchengladbach. Metz has, however, lost six of its last seven league matches at home. The last time they welcomed Lille ended 2-0 for the guests, with them also winning six of the previous seven meetings of the two clubs here.

Lille had an unpleasant preseason in Portugal, losing to both Porto and Benfica while playing on the road. However, a triumph against PSG motivated them for a new season. LOSC managed to keep a hold on the entire 2020/21 title-winning squad, except the goalkeeper Mike Maignan and midfielder Luiz Araujo. Jocelyn Gourvennec is a great coach who came as a replacement for the previous manager Christophe Galtier.

I expect the visitors to win, considering everything stated above. Good luck!

上个赛季，里尔结束了巴黎圣日耳曼的统治地位。目前的联赛冠军将在法国甲级联赛的揭幕战中造访梅斯。梅斯上赛季在联盟中表现一般，以47分排在第十位。然而，在2020/21赛季的两场失利后，弗雷德里克·安东内蒂的球队将在首场比赛中面对联盟最好的球队之一。里尔在超级杯决赛中以1-0击败巴黎圣日耳曼。里尔是一个更好的对手，并且本赛季已经有了一个奖杯。伤病对两支球队来说都不是问题，主队的曼纽尔·卡比特上赛季只为梅斯踢了三场比赛。客队将缺少两名葡萄牙球员迪亚戈·迪亚洛和希卡，他们将被禁赛。

梅斯上赛季在主场表现不佳，19场比赛只赢了5场。俱乐部的47分中只有20分来自主场，他们在即将到来的比赛中拿到分数的机会很小。梅斯在季前赛表现不错，只输了一场比赛，0-1输给了门兴格拉德巴赫。然而，梅斯在最近的七场联赛中主场输掉了六场。上次他们对里尔，里尔客场2-0获胜，里尔也赢得了两家俱乐部之前七次交手中的六次。

里尔在葡萄牙度过了一段不愉快的季前赛，客场同时输给了波尔图和本菲卡。然而，对巴黎圣日耳曼的胜利激励他们继续新赛季。里尔成功地留住了整个2020/21冠军阵容，除了守门员迈克·梅格南和中场球员路易斯·阿劳约。乔斯琳·古尔万内克是一名伟大的教练，他是前教练克里斯托弗·加蒂埃的替代者。

考虑到上面所说的一切，我希望客队能赢。好运！
