Montpellier HSC - Metz predictions and free betting tips [18/02/2024]

Good day to you all, my dear readers and comrades! I'd like to bring to you the excitement of the 22nd round of France's Ligue 1. Today on the football pitch of "Stade de la Mosson", Montpellier will be hosting Metz on their home turf. Let's see what we can expect from these two teams and place a bet that might just increase our bank. Let's dig deeper!

Possible line-ups

Montpellier: Lecomte; Sagnan, Kouyate, Omeragic; Tchato, Ferri, Savanier, Chotard, Sylla; Nordin, Adams.
Metz: Oukidja; Van Den Kerkhof, Herelle, Sane, Traore, Udol; Jacques, Nduquidi; Camara; Lamkel Ze, Mikautadze.

Montpellier

Let me tell you a bit about the Palladians. Last season, Montpellier finished their stint at 12th place. Currently, the team's sitting in the 15th spot in the leaderboard with 19 earned points. Their last Ligue 1 game went down in defeat against Lyon by one goal difference. They met a similar fate in the Coupe de France, losing to Nice with a scoreline of 1:4.

Metz

Metz has returned to the French Championship this season. The boys have managed to edge away from the relegation zone. At present, they have collected 17 points from 21 matches and are based in the 17th spot on the leaderboard. In their last outing in Ligue 1, they squared off to a draw against Marseille, scoring and conceding one goal each.

Head-to-head meetings

In their last face-to-face encounter which took place on 9th February last year, the teams saw out a draw, both scoring and conceding one goal.

Prediction

Alright, let's draw conclusions from our analysis. As both teams aren't at their best form, I don't foresee any dramatic outcome in this match. I'm placing my bet on a stalemate result.

Total Prediction

I hardly believe the game would be goal-rich, thus I'd place a bet on the total number of goals being less than 2.5. Best of luck and enjoy the game, dear friends!
