Metz Montpellier betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between two teams that aren't having great campaigns so far, as they are both in the middle of the table. However, Metz is in a much more complicated situation, as they are in last place, 5 points behind their opponent. Montpellier has the 4th worst defense, but the 5th best attack. Metz has the 2nd worst defense and the 5th worst attack. So it looks like Montpellier has what it takes to win this match, but as they are away, a draw is also a possibility.
