Troyes Metz betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This duel tends to be one of the most balanced of this round of the French Championship, as it puts face-to-face the last two placed of the competition, although Troyes has a six-point advantage over its opponent. The home team is struggling to keep possession of the ball, but it usually attacks from the flanks, while its defense fails in many ways, especially in the coverage of the sides and in the aerial game. Metz, however, risks a lot from outside the area, but has been inaccurate in the end, while its defense fails to contain counterattacks and interception of deep balls. Thus, we expect a balanced game, between two teams with problems, being the draw a good betting option, but with the favoritism for Troyes.

Preview
Troyes and Metz face at Stade de l'Aube, in a match for the 26th round of the Ligue 1. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 23‑09‑2017, Troyes got an away win by (0‑1). The head‑to‑head record between these two teams couldn't be more balanced, since there were 1 win for each team in the last 2 head‑to‑heads. Troyes registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Troyes

The home team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 7 wins, 3 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Toulouse, by (1‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Strasbourg, by (2‑1). 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 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. For the league, Troyes won 16 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 12 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 12 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Troyes return to play at home for the French Championship after two consecutive appearances away from their fans, having the chance to add their second consecutive win, and thus try to start a reaction. In the last round, the team played a balanced game against Strasbourg, but failed in defensive terms and allowed the opponent to score 2 goals in less than five minutes, only managing to reduce on the extra-time of the final stage. As it has been possible to notice in the last rounds, the offensive sector has not been performing satisfactorily, and is now among the seven worst in the competition, in addition to being the least complete. The team also fails in possession of the ball, since it has the worse average of the championship in that question. The 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 should be the tactical formation adopted for this duel, with Traoré on the left side.

Confirmed Lineup: Erwin Zelazny, Charles Traoré, Jimmy Giraudon, Mathieu Deplagne, Christophe Herelle, François Bellugou, Rémi Walter, Saîf-Eddine Khaoui, Bryan Pelé, Samuel Grandsir, Adama Niane.
Coach: P. Kisnorbo.

Analysis Metz

The away team is currently in the 20th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 17 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Olympique Marseille, by (6‑3). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Montpellier, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Metz has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 8 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 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Metz continue to make a disastrous campaign in this edition of the French Championship, and makes in this exhibition the first of two consecutive games away from its fans, which can mean negative results, according to what the team has been presenting until then. In its last confrontation, the team did not have a bad performance, but suffered a goal still in the first half and could not react, thus accumulating another setback at home. Although it suffered a loss for the minimum score in that round, the penultimate clash made it clear that the defensive system has been one of the team's major problems as it is the second most leaked in the competition. Playing away from home, the team won only 8 of the 36 points played, and in that condition was not leaked on two occasions. Several formations have been tested by coach Hantz, who should not have great problems to define the initial eleven.

Confirmed Lineup: Eiji Kawashima, Fallou Diagne, Jonathan Rivierez, Moussa Niakhaté, Julian Palmieri, Matthieu Dossevi, Danijel Miličević, Florent Mollet, Renaud Cohade, Nolan Roux, Emmanuel Rivière.
Coach: F. Antonetti.
