Angers take on Metz in an eagerly-awaited Ligue 1 clash as both teams aim to move away from mid- and lower-table struggles. With Metz experiencing all sorts of problems at the back in their last league match, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. Les Scoistes come into the game off a 0-0 draw with Paris FC, missing only forward Lanroy Machine, whose absence is unlikely to affect their attacking output. The home side has been inconsistent, with dldld in their last five, but they remain dangerous at home, scoring 2.00 goals per game while conceding 1.80. Their defensive record is solid, keeping 80% clean sheets at home.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, head into Sunday's game after a heavy 5-2 defeat to Lyon, with defensive frailties again exposed. Their away form is poor, winning just 1 out of 5, scoring 1.60 goals per match but conceding 1.80, showing vulnerability at the back. BTTS is frequent in Metz’s away matches (80%), suggesting Angers’ attack could find space. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Given Angers' attacking potential at home an Metz's shaky defence, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Ligue 1 matchup, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Angers to Score First.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 1 February 2026 at 16:15.
