Metz
Troyes and Metz take on each other at Stade de l’Aube in a highly-anticipated relegation six-pointer. Troyes aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Angers, with the team eyeing their only third home win of the process. Gerson Rodrigues is sidelined through suspension, while all Balde, Kouame, and Touzghar are back from international duty. Defender Issa Kabore represents Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations semis.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-0 loss to Nice. Since both sides are eager to return to winning ways in the national championship, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The good news for the visiting side is that all Kouyate, Bronn, and Alakouch are back from international duty, as well as Ivory Coast midfielder Habib Maiga.
