Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Metz
Match Time & Date:
30/03/2024
17:00
Prediction: 0-2
Monaco
Metz will look to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Reims when they take on Monaco at Stade Saint-Symphorien on Saturday afternoon. Les Grenats are desperate to escape the danger zone, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Champions League-chasing visitors. As both Danley Jean Jacques and Cheikh Sabaly are banned for the match, home win should not be considered.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Lorient before the international window. Monaco, though, are on three-game winning run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Adi Hutter’s troops. In each of their last five meetings in Ligue 1 Monaco defeated Metz and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the away team, Denis Zakaria serves a one-game ban, while all Guillermo Maripan, Mohammed Salisu, and Mohamed Camara are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Wissam Ben Yedder):
Wissam Ben Yedder was born in Sarcelles, France on 12 August, 1990, but he has yet to make his France debut at senior level. The 170-cm-tall striker, though, played three games for France U21 team and he made two appearances for France Futsal team as well.
Ben Yedder began his club career at UJA Alfortville and he moved to Toulouse in 2010. After scoring 63 goals in 156 league appearances for les Pitchouns, the pacey attacker joined La Liga side Sevilla on 30 July, 2016. Wissam Ben Yedder made his Sevilla debut on 14 August, 2016 in a 2-0 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. The former Toulouse forward scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight in Sevilla’s 6-4 win over Espanyol in the opening match of the 2016/2017 season.
Ben Yedder started his youth career at Garges-les-Gonesse and he played for the Saint-Denis at the start of his football career as well. You should bear in mind that Ben Yedder is Toulouse’s best scorer of the 21st century.
Highlighted Team (Metz):
Thanks to amalgamation of two amateur clubs Metz were founded in 1932 and soon they became a professional team. Les Grenats are one of the oldest professional teams in France, but they have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy. Metz finished the 1997/1998 season in second place in the standings and it has to be noted that they were level on points with champions Lens (worse goal difference).
However, les Grenats won Coupe de France on two occasions (1983/1984, 1987/1988), with the team beating Monaco and Sochaux respectively in the title games. Emmanuel Adebayor is considered one of the most famous players who whore Metz jersey and you should know that the Togolese attacker scored 15 goals in 44 appearances in the league for the club.
Metz play their home games at Stade Saint-Symphorien, the venue which was opened back in September, 1923. Les Grenats wear red shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is white.
