Metz - Lille predictions

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Metz are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Lille. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Ligue 1 but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

Metz went into their previous Ligue 1 match as clear underdogs playing as visitors against Le Havre . The draw during half-time was surprising enough – but no-one saw their narrow 0:1 victory coming.

While Lille’s previous away game was by no means a success, a narrow 1:0 away defeat after an inconclusive first half isn’t too bad. It’s hard to fight against the 2.43 their opponents Monaco were given for a home win.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Metz conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Stade Saint-Symphorien.

We should point out that Lille scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

Metz head into a difficult part of the Ligue 1 season. Three places clear of the relegation zone, they need to keep their guard up until the very end if they want to stay in the league. Challenging times are ahead of the hosts, starting with their Sunday clash against Lille.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Lille walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 1.78 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.96 odds offered at 1xbet.
