Nantes vs Metz Prediction & Match Preview

• Nantes come into this on the back of two wins in the last three league games.
• Metz lost nine and drew two of the last eleven matches in all competitions.
• Only one of Nantes’ last six league fixtures provided three or more goals.

Nantes celebrated a super-important 1-0 road win in a relegation six-pointer away at Lorient last Saturday. It was a great overall display from Les Canaris who controlled the happenings on the pitch from the first to the final minute. The fact they limited Lorient to just a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of action says enough.

Nantes are now three points above the danger zone in the Ligue 1 standings. They have two wins in the last three league affairs. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men will have a nice opportunity to keep the good form going on Sunday afternoon. Les Canaris play host to struggling Metz in Matchday No 24 at Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau.

Metz are in a very difficult situation. They lost nine and drew two of the last eleven outings across competitions. This horrendous streak left Laszlo Boloni’s men at the foot of the league table. Metz are five points shy of the safe zone and they desperately need to shift their fortunes around before it gets too late in the quest for the elite-class survival.

Recent Meetings

Metz celebrated a 3-1 victory over Nantes in the reverse game played in November last year. It was their lone win in eleven home matches in this term of Ligue 1.

As many as 11 of the previous 22 H2H matches between these counterparts at Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau ended without a winner.

Only one of the previous ten head-to-head encounters saw three or more goals scored.

Nantes vs Metz Prediction

Nantes’ back line looked great last weekend at Lorient. Jocelyn Gourvennec can generally be thrilled with his team’s defensive showings of late. Nantes conceded more than one goal just once in the previous six fixtures across competitions. They limited Lorient to a total of six shots eight days ago. Metz are not pulling up any trees of late. They lost nine and drew two of the last eleven outings across competitions. The latest of the failures came last Friday when Laszlo Boloni’s squad fell 1-2 at home to Lyon. We’ll take the home win pick at the 1.80 odds as the main betting option.

Only one of Nantes’ last six league outings produced three or more goals. Metz scored just twice in the last five away outings in Ligue 1. Nine of the previous ten head-to-head affairs between these rivals finished with fewer than three goals scored. The Under 2.5 goals FT pick is an ideal alternative betting option at the 1.61 odds.
