Strasbourg - Metz predictions

Metz will give Strasbourg a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.33 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Strasbourg on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Strasbourg did not have the best of starts to their last away game. Having conceded early in the match, they failed miserably in their attempts to get back to the game. In the end, a $ HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY defeat was something their fans will have been largely disappointed about.

In the previous round, Metz suffered a narrow 2:3 defeat at their home stadium. They were leading at half-time, which was quite surprising because of how stronger their opponents Rennes were in terms of form.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Metz and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

Strasbourg already have a victory over Metz on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Ligue 1, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.98 odds offered at 1xbet.
