Metz Olympique Marseille betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Olympique Marseille's triumph is the market we suggest for this match. The away club has a superior squad to the opponent of this match, being natural for them to create several opportunities to score goals. On the other hand, Metz should come on the field with a defensive mindset, seeking only the counter attack, however, without success. Having said that and taking into account also the excellent phase that goes through, betting in favor of Marseille in this game is a good option.

In their home league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches) and 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches).

They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Metz heads into this Ligue 1 round unmotivated after losing by 4-1 to Nice for their seventh straight run without a win: their only goal was signed by Ibrahima Niane. It should be noted that the home club has a negative performance in their stadium, with only 2 wins in 8 games played. Coach Frédéric Antonetti usually makes a 4-3-3 aggressive tactical system, with Habib Diallo being the most offensive man in the team: this player is the best scorer with 9 goals scored. For this game the coach cannot count on Thomas Delaine and Boye, punished, besides Cabit, Oukidja and Angban, these injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Alexandre Oukidja, Stoppila Sunzu, Fabien Centonze, John Boye, Matthieu Udol, Victorien Angban, Opa Nguette, Mamadou Fofana, Digbo Maiga, Noss Traoré, Habib Diallo.
Coach: F. Antonetti.

However, it should be noted that visitors won only 50% of games away from home. The coach André Villas-Boas should play in his usual tactical scheme, helping to maintain possession of the ball and the paused attacks, looking for the offensive reference Darío Benedetto on most occasions.
