Metz vs Auxerre Predictions

Metz are looking short at home

Auxerre are the best bet to win at Metz on Sunday. The hosts have gone four Ligue 1 home games without a win, losing three of those, and Auxerre can take advantage.

They are two places above Metz in the table, but just one point separates the two teams. The hosts, bottom of the table, have won three times this season while Auxerre have recorded four wins.

The hosts’ recent form has been dire, with seven of Metz’s last nine Ligue 1 matches ending in defeat. They have now gone nine games without a win.

The hosts have struggled to find the net at home this season, with just nine goals in ten home games – an average of 0.90 goals per game.

Defending has not been Metz’s strong suit this term, with the hosts looking vulnerable at the back. No team has shipped more goals in Ligue 1 this season than the 46 goals Metz have conceded, and they have let in goals in five of their last seven home games.

There have been fewer than three goals in nine of Auxerre’s last 11 Ligue 1 games, and a 2-0 win for the visitors looks like the correct score pick.
