Nantes - Metz predictions

Nantes should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Metz can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Metz will have little to hope for in this match. 4.85 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Nantes will be flying high on confidence for their Sunday game following a morale-boosting win achieved in the last round of the Ligue 1. A difficult away game was on the table for Nantes and they kept it level at the halftime mark only to emerge victorious by a narrow, one-goal margin after the final whistle!

Metz’s most recent Ligue 1 appearance was in a home game, and it did not go their way. They went into the bout as the underdogs and lost largely due to a tiebreaker in the second half

The previous 3 home games didn’t go Nantes’s way, so their confidence might be a bit shaken.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Metz’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Though we’re still lat round 24 of this year’s Ligue 1, things are starting to look grim for Metz. Placed at 17th, they’ll be facing relegation unless they manage to climb the standings. To make matters worse, this upcoming match is far from favourable for them.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Ligue 1 season. Nantes narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Igniatius Ganago, Bastien Meupiyou Menadjou, Kelvin Amian will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.65. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
