Metz vs Monaco tips and predictions

Upset in the offing for Metz

It's generally accepted that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals.

Let's start this preview with a caveat; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

The hosts go into the match having put 2 wins in the bank from their last 3 games.

While not necessarily enough to pull of the upset Metz have shown some form. They scored at least once in all of their recent 4 matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. In defence they have conceded no more than once in 9 of their last 11 home games.

Sometimes Monaco have lacked the fundamentals in their 18-yard box. They have conceded two or more goals in 7 of their last 12 matches. Further, there could be some evidence that their scoring form is in a slump. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They averaged just 1.0 goals in their last 3 matches.

Pulling off the win might be a stretch but they can pinch something here. If Monaco stamp their authority on the match they are also likely to keep things tight at the back. There are better value picks elsewhere but the No BTTS bet seems sensible.
