Nice vs Metz Predictions

• Only PSG scored more Ligue 1 goals than Nice this season.
• Nice have no clean sheets across their last five home games.
• Metz conceded at least twice in five of their seven away games this season.

Nice to edge out an exciting affair between two mismatched sides

Nice are enjoying a fine season in Ligue 1 so far without the hassle of midweek European football to hinder their progress. Currently on 26 points which includes one deducted point, they have currently enjoying a finer 14-game start than in ten of their last 11 top-flight campaigns.

The odds about a straight Nice win look very short, so the best way to squeeze the value out of this could be by going for total goals as well. Encouragingly, seven of Nice’s eight victories this season also produced at least three goals.

There is little doubt around what the result of this game should be, considering the 19-place gulf between the sides, Nice manager Christophe Gaultier’s unbeaten personal record against Metz (W5, D3) and Nice’s league-best defensive record.

As for the total goals prediction, Metz’s league games have averaged a 3.3 total goals per-game this term, which is amongst the three highest totals of any sides’ respective return.

Finally, each of Metz’s last three visits to Nice saw both teams score and over 2.5 match goals while they lost with a 2+ goal margin in two. Consequently, we are going for an exciting 3-1 win for the high-flying hosts.
