Monaco vs Metz Predictions

• Monaco lead the way in France’s Ligue 1 with 17 points after eight games.
• Metz have suffered two defeats by at least three goals in four games away from home.
• Metz have failed to score in their last three games.

Metz unlikely to trouble Monaco

Monaco are the current league leaders in Ligue 1 and they should be able to deal with Metz fairly comfortably on Sunday.

The visitors sit fourth from bottom with just eight points to show from as many games, and they head to the Stade Louis II seeking to end a three-game losing streak.

Monaco can win with room to spare

Monaco boast the best attack in the division with 21 goals scored in eight games, and they are coming up against a Metz outfit who have gone three games without scoring.

That suggests Les Rouge et Blanc can win fairly comfortably here and the hosts to cover a -1 handicap is our main bet, as both of Metz’s defeats away from home this season have seen them lose by three or more goals.

As the visitors have gone three games without scoring and Monaco are scoring on average 2.6 goals per-game a 3-0 win for the home side is the correct score prediction.

Wissam Ben Yedder is Monaco’s top scorer with five goals in eight games and he was on target in the victory over Reims last time out, so he looks the best contender for an anytime goal.
