Match preview

Nantes were 2-0 winners when they met earlier this season and are chasing their first Ligue 1 double over Metz since the 2000/01 season.

FC Metz come into the match on a run of four league games without a win. They have picked up five points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

Les Graoullys’ last league match, away to LOSC Lille, ended in a dull 0-0 draw. Expected goals of 1.2 to 0.3 in favour of Lille indicates Metz were a little fortunate to escape from the game with a point.

The Les Grenats fans will be particularly disappointed with the attacking performance with their side failing to create any big chances in the match and failing to register a single shot on target.

Their opponent on Sunday, FC Nantes, come into the match on a run of two wins in a row. They have picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

The Canaries won their last league match at home to Paris Saint Germain. Expected goals of 3.7 to 2.6 in favour of Paris Saint Germain indicates Nantes didn’t deserve all three points on the balance of chances created.

Early goals from Randal Kolo Muani and Quentin Merlin gave Nantes something to hold onto until half-time. A Neymar goal right after the break made a PSG comeback look on the cards here. However, when Les Canaris were awarded a penalty ten minutes later, Ludovic Blas stepped up to convert for his side.

Blas is 4.75/1 to get on the scoresheet against Metz on Sunday.

Alban Lafont saving a Neymar spot kick on the hour mark threw water on whatever remaining embers there were for the PSG fight back. The final score of the match was 3-1.
