Brest vs Metz Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in each of the last six meetings between Brest and Metz
• Each of Metz’s last seven fixtures have produced under 2.5 goals
• Metz have won three of their last six league games and Brest have lost four of their last five matches

Tight and Tense Affair Expected at Stade Francis-Le Blé

Brest went down 1-0 away at Reims last time out, making it four defeats from their last five matches. Metz claimed a 2-0 win at home to struggling Nantes in their last game and now sit 8th in the table, 5pts and five places above Sunday’s hosts.

Brest have actually fared well in their recent games against Metz, claiming wins in each of the duo’s last three meetings in league and cup. One thing that has been a common denominator in the last six meetings between these two clubs is that under 2.5 goals have been scored on each occasion.

Metz have been involved in a large number of low-scoring matches in recent weeks, with each of their last seven outings in Ligue 1 producing under 2.5 goals. The visitors have performed well during that period, picking up three wins and four clean sheets. Brest’s form has declined of late with Sunday’s hosts losing four of their last five league games.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in this weekend’s game and have predicted a 1-0 win for visiting Metz. The visitors might not have fared well against Brest in recent season, but they have outplayed their hosts this season and arrive as the clear form favourites.
