Nice - Metz predictions

Kickoff starts at 17:00 on 27/01/2024 played @ Allianz Riviera refereed by Stéphanie Frappart

It’s quite easy to predict that Nice will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

Considering what they’re up against, Metz can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 8.60 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Nice are coming on the back of a crushing 2:0 away defeat at the hands of Rennes . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead Rennes grabbed.

Metz are coming on the back of a narrow home defeat to Toulouse. The match could have gone either way, but the opposition displayed better form by grabbing an early lead and maintaining it until the 0:1 finish.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Allianz Riviera this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Metz fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Nice are definitely one of the season’s title challengers. We’re well into round 19 at this point, and they’re just 8 points behind the current table leaders. Them winning this showdown is a rather safer prediction, too.

The season is right around its midpoint currently, and Metz find themselves in a difficult position. The relegation zone is too close for comfort in their current number 15th table position. Worse yet, they’re the clear underdogs in this matchup.

It will be interesting to see if Metz manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Nice this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Sofiane Diop, Alexis Beka Beka, Romain Perraud are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Nice’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

This is a solid match for those that like betting on longshots. Our advice is to pick Draw/Home on the Half Time/Full Time market. The probability of winning is not that high if we’re being honest, but it’s the best offer if you’re shooting for betting value.
