Prediction: 2-0
Montpellier
Metz will be aiming to escape the relegation zone in the Ligue 1 standings when they host Montpellier at their Stade Saint-Symphorien on Saturday evening. Les Grenats are tough to beat at home, and they need to keep on producing good performances on home soil if they are to secure the top flight survival. Metz did well to beat second-placed Nantes 1-0 in their last home fixture, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Montpellier.
La Paillade, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in three of their last four league fixtures. Montpellier have been struggling on the travels in the 2019/2020 season and, taking everything into account; we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s football match.

Highlighted Player (Habib Diallo):
The Senegalese forward started his football journey at Generation Foot in Darkar before leaving Senegal to join French club FC Metz in 2013. At Metz, Diallo spent his initial two years developing and playing for the reserves. He made his professional debut on the 1st of August, 2015, in Metz's 0-0 draw with RC Lens.
Later in the season, he scored his first professional goal, which came in a 2-1 away loss to Nimes Olympique on the 22nd of February, 2016. Diallo went on to make over 80 appearances for Metz before leaving the club in 2017 to join Brest on an initial one month loan, which later extended to become a season-long loan.
At the end of the 17/18 season, Diallo returned to Metz and has featured for them since. On the International forefront, the 6ft striker who is known for his heading and physicality made his debut for Senegal on the 17th of November, 2018, in an African Cup of Nations qualifier game against Equatorial Guinea.
Highlighted Team (Montpellier):
Over the years Montpellier have established themselves as a mid-table side in French Ligue 1. Montpellier are considered one of the youngest clubs in France as they were founded in 1974, but it has to be noted that a number of high-profile footballers played for the club in the past. French football legend Laurent Blanc played for Montpellier from 1981-1993 and he scored 76 goals in 24 appearances in the league for the club. Eric Cantona, Roger Milla, Carlos Valderama and Olivier Giroud played in Montpellier’s colors as well, but Pascal Baills is the player with most appearances for the club (429).
La Paillade did remarkably well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in 2012 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Montpellier won Coupe de France on two occasions (1929, 1990), with the team beating FC Sete and FC Paris respectively in the title games. The team welcome their rivals at Stade de la Mosson and the capacity of the stadium is 32.900. In 1999 Montpellier won the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
