France Ligue 1, 18th round. Metz currently occupies the 18th place with 15 points, having 2 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses at home. Meanwhile, Marseille looks very good this season and is among the top of the table. They are in 2nd place with 34 points, having won 4 times, lost 2 times, and drawn 2 times away. The difference between the teams is very significant.
Metz comes into this match without a win in 7 consecutive games, with their last match being a painful 4-1 loss against Nice, who haven't looked very good this season. It's worth noting that Metz has significant problems in attack. They have scored only 14 goals in 17 matches, which means that the team often finishes games without scoring. In the same 17 matches, they have conceded 25 goals, indicating that their defense is also lacking. Speaking of Marseille, they are currently the team showing the best form in the league. They have won 6 consecutive matches. During this period, they have secured victories against Bordeaux, Lyon, and Lille, which are much stronger than Metz. Marseille has scored 25 goals in 17 matches this season and conceded 19. This means that the team often wins by small margins and plays rather tight matches. Something similar can be expected today, and we believe that Metz will face many problems trying to score, while Marseille should eventually score at least once.
So, in France Ligue 1, two very different-looking teams meet. With Marseille showing such form, it's worth betting on their victory again. The teams' H2H is also in Marseille's favor (winning 7 out of the last 8 matches). We choose Marseille, good luck!
