FC Metz – Nice – Betting Tips 27.01.2018

Who would have thought a few weeks ago – apart perhaps from President Messin, supporters, and new coach Frédéric Hantz – that the maintenance of FC Metz would be an option to consider at the end of January? With a series of rather incredible positive results – 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat in Monaco, two successive qualifiers in the Coupe de France – the Lorrainers now have “only” 7 points behind the first non-relegable, Angers . Beyond their good form, the mistrust of their direct competitors also allows the Messins to stay alive, provided they cotinuer to garner points. This Saturday, facing Nice, another team in full flurry for several weeks, the task will be far from easy, and the Eaglets will leave even favorites to come take the 3 points. It remains to confirm this status on the field, and the party promises to be as open as disputed!

Our Bet Explained
In 17 trips, Nice managed to keep his clean sheet only once: in Rennes, for a 1-0 success.
In his last 7 games and since his win in Montpellier, Metz has scored 15 goals, despite a 0-0 in Tours in the Coupe de France!
Nice remains on 5 games without defeat away (2V, 3N), and has scored 8 goals on these 5 trips. We have a particular success in Nantes (2-1), a draw in Monaco with a Monegasque equalizer in stoppage time (2-2) or a success in Toulouse (1-2)!
Mario Balotelli is more present than ever, and has already scored 12 goals in the league this season.
Metz remains on two “3-0” of rank at home, proof of good offensive form, but remains the worst defense of L1 at home with 21 goals conceded in 11 games.

Our prediction FC Metz Nice
Duel teams in form at Saint-Symphorien! Uncertain outcome, with goals on both sides and a win that could lean to one side or the other. Both teams score!
