Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lorient, Brest will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Metz in the Ligue 1 round 28. Les Pirates are determined to secure their first-ever participation in the Champions League and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Metz on Matchday 28. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Pierre Lees-Melou is back from suspension, but forward Bilal Brahimi is banned for the match.
Les Grenats, meanwhile, were not at their sharpest in back-to-back losses to Reims and Monaco. Considering that Metz have already suffered eight defeats on the road this term, we predict that the Champions-League-chasing hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s matinee. The likes of Maxime Colin, Didier Lamkel Ze, and Kevin N’Doram are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
