St Etienne vs Metz Predictions

• Metz have won their last four encounters with Saint-Etienne
• Metz are unbeaten in their last six league games
• Metz have only scored over 1.5 goals in two of their last six fixtures

Metz to continue unbeaten run

Saint-Etienne were held to a 1-1 draw at home by fellow strugglers Nantes in midweek, while Metz played out a 1-1 draw of their own at home to Montpellier. Metz currently occupy 6th spot in Ligue 1, 10 positions and 12pts ahead of Saint-Etienne.

When Metz played host to Saint-Etienne back in October, the home side recorded a comfortable 2-0 victory. Metz have now won their last four games against Sunday’s hosts and are completely outplaying them in all departments so far this season.

Saint-Etienne have dropped points in five of their last six league games, suffering three defeats and two draws, while Metz are unbeaten in their last six outings, securing three wins and three draws. We’re not expecting a lot of goalmouth action in this game as five of Metz’s last six outings have produced under 2.5 goals, as have four of Saint-Etienne’s last six fixtures.

We’re confident that backing Metz with a double chance bet is the right way to go this weekend, and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in the visitors’ favour. Metz have a great recent record against the home side and are in good form right now, while Saint-Etienne continue to struggle due to a lack of consistency.
