Lens continue their strong push toward the top of Ligue 1 and will view this match as a must-win to keep pressure on PSG. As Metz do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a routine 3-0 home win. Les Sang et Or have been excellent at home with 2.25 points per game, winning 75% of their matches at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Their attacking numbers underline that dominance: Lens score 1.75 goals per home game, backed by a solid 1.70 xG, while conceding only 1.00. The title-chasing hosts also haven’t failed to score once this season, highlighting their reliability in the final third.
Metz, meanwhile, remain in deep relegation trouble. With just 0.50 points per game overall and a poor away average of 0.80, les Grenats struggle badly in both phases of play. Metz have scored only 1.00 goal per away match, while conceding 1.40, and their 0.85 away xG suggests they create very little. They also fail to score in 40% of their away fixtures.
Given Lens superior form, scoring power, and strong home performances, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Lens Over 1.5.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 8 March 2026 at 14:00.
