Metz - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

While Metz winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Olympique Lyonnais, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Though Olympique Lyonnais are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 1.93 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Metz’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Montpellier as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:0 loss for Metz.

Olympique Lyonnais played as the home team in their most recent matchup and secured a narrow victory. Pre-match Ligue 1 betting odds implied that they were more or less evenly matched with Nice despite the home-field advantage, but the HT/FT outcome proved them to be the stronger team.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The only noteworthy trend we can note for Olympique Lyonnais is that their latest two home games ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals market. You should probably keep this in mind when choosing the most suitable bet for this fixture.

online bookmakers is not giving Metz much of a chance to win the Friday clash. It’s not exactly a surprise seeing that hosts are sitting in 17th after 23S rounds of the Ligue 1 season.

The match these two teams played earlier in the season ended in a draw. Overall, Metz have a lot more reason to feel happy about that, being the underdogs in the matchup.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.80.
