Bordeaux - Metz betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Bordeaux as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Metz winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

At 4.20 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Metz are well aware of it themselves.

The last round brought a very good result overall for Bordeaux. They took a difficult Ligue 1 trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important Lille away draw.

Metz are coming on the back of a narrow 1:2 home defeat against Monaco. The first half ended inconclusively, but the far stronger visiting team eventually pulled ahead – just like most betting predictions anticipated.

With 8 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Metz’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

This match presents a rare opportunity for Bordeaux to earn the 0 points they need to avoid relegation. Time is running out, though, and the competition this late in the season will be fierce.

After 31 games played, Metz only managed to put together 23 points. This landed them at the number 19th spot in the standings, which means they’re at risk of relegation. To make matters worse, winning even a single point in Stade Matmut-Atlantique seems quite unlikely at this point.

Metz and Bordeaux tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Bordeaux are still considered more likely to come out on top this Sunday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.75.
