French Ligue 1, round 18. Metz is currently in 18th place with 15 points, 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at home. Meanwhile, Marseille are looking very good this season and are near the top of the table. They are in 2nd place with 34 points, with 4 wins and 2 losses and 2 draws away from home. The difference between the teams is very big.
Metz come into this game unbeaten in 7 consecutive games, the last one being a very painful 4-1 defeat against Nice, who are not looking very good this season. It's worth noting that Metz have very big problems in attack. In 17 matches, only 14 goals have been scored, which means that the team finishes most of the matches without even scoring. In the same 17 games, 25 goals were conceded, which means that the defence is not shining either. As for Marseille, they are the team currently in the best form in the league. They have won 6 matches in a row. During this period, victories have been won against Bordeaux, Lyon and Lille, which are much stronger than Metz. Marseille have scored 25 goals in 17 games this season and conceded 19. This means that the team usually wins by small margins and plays rather cagey matches. We expect something similar today, we believe that Metz will have a lot of problems trying to score and Marseille should score at least once sooner or later.
So, in the French Ligue 1, two very different looking teams meet. With Marseille showing such form, it's worth betting on them to win again. The H2H is also on Marseille's side (won 7 out of the last 8 games). We choose Marseille, good luck!
