Metz - Nantes betting tips and odds

Metz have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Nantes. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Nantes are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.60 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Metz are coming off from a 0:0 draw in an away game at Lille . Betting predictions for that game were heavily in their opponents’ favour, though, so the fact that they pulled off a draw both at half time and as the final result is a success, relatively speaking.

Nantes’s fans witnessed a shocking victory in the previous round. Betting predictions thought that Paris Saint Germain were almost guaranteed to win, but Nantes took an unexpected lead in the first half and ended the match with a decisive 3:1 home win.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Metz and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

Nantes have registered 8 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Sunday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

With just 21 point to their name, Metz are number 19th in the standings. This puts them right on the road to relegation unless they manage to start winning.

Trailing the European spots by 4 points, Nantes have got to push it up the notch this late in the season. We’re heading into round 26 and three points in Stade Saint-Symphorien would definitely be a push in the right direction for the visitors.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Nantes decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.35 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Unibet.
