Metz Olympique Lyonnais betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The game between Metz and Lyon puts in the field two teams in a very different situation within the competition, Metz is the last placed and fights not to fall to the second division, but even poorly placed has shown offensive potential when playing at home, Lyon, meanwhile, is among the top placed and has been quite offensive and has managed to score many goals away from home, even if it has been suffering goals lately. We believe in a game with several goals, it is very likely that there will be more than 2.5 goals in this game.

Preview
Metz and Olympique Lyonnais meet at Stade Saint‑Symphorien, in a match for the 32th round of the Ligue 1. Olympique Lyonnais got a home win by (2‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 29‑10‑2017. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Metz presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Metz

The home team is currently in the 20th position of the league, with 22 points won, after 5 wins, 7 draws and 19 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Nantes, by (1‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Strasbourg, by (2‑2). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. For the league, Metz won 12 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 20 of their 31 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Metz never conquered a Ligue 1 title, its best campaign was the runners-up of the 1997/98 season. Currently in the 2017/18 season the team has been holding the competition's last position and is a serious candidate for relegation, although it is in a rather complicated situation, the team has been trying to react, especially in the home games, in the last six home games it won three, lost one and drew two, scored goals in five of these six games, but its defense did not help much, conceding a goal in the last four games. Metz has a slow defense, easily dribbled and subject to counterattacks, its defensive sector is also weak in air duels, so it should struggle a lot against the strong attack of Lyon.

Confirmed Lineup: Eiji Kawashima, Ivan Balliu, Fallou Diagne, Moussa Niakhaté, Julian Palmieri, Renaud Cohade, Matthieu Dossevi, Georges Mandjeck, Florent Mollet, Emmanuel Rivière, Nolan Roux.

Analysis Lyon

In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Olympique Marseille, by (2‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Toulouse, by (2‑0).

In the last 10 away league matches Olympique Lyonnais has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 20 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 12 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

In the last 16 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Lyon has already conquered the Ligue 1 title seven times, its last win was conquered in 2007/08. The team has been doing good games away from home, scoring in the last thirteen away games, leading eleven games with more than 2.5 goals. Lyon has a good offensive sector, produces good attacks on the wings, especially on the left, is a team that finishes a lot and uses the individual ability to dribble its opponent and reach the opponent's goals. Lyon has already shown that its style away from home is aggressive and offensive, the team always seeks the goals to conquer the three points, many times the team suffers goals in search of victory, the last seven away games, Lyon conceded a goal in six, confirming this thesis.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Rafael, Ferland Mendy, Marcelo, Jérémy Morel, Lucas Tousart, Tanguy Ndombélé, Jordan Ferri, Houssem Aouar, Memphis Depay, Bertrand Traoré.
