Metz - Nice predictions

Metz will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Nice don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.35 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Nice should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.14, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Metz return home this Sunday after a successful trip in the Ligue 1. They will be keen to build upon the latest Nantes away triumph which came after a tied first half. Metz pushed the pedal in the second 45 minutes to prove a big point to betting sites that had them at a generous 3.50.

Although Nice lost their previous away game 1:0, it’s hard to call the outcome a disappointment. Considering the 15.55 odds top online bookmakers gave them to beat Paris Saint Germain, even the draw on half-time is a minor success.

Metz’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Ligue 1 matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

Being in the relegation zone is not yet a disaster for Metz because the season is still in its early stages. However, walking away with 3 points this Sunday will be quite difficult, which makes their job of earning 0 points all the more difficult.

Nice’s current position as 8th in the standings is moderately good so far, but they’ll need to get better results if they want to call the season successful. They’ll have plenty of time t do so, though overcoming MetzS this Sunday will not be easy.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.75, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
