Prediction: 2-0
Metz
Montpellier will be looking to build on a 3-2 win over Lens when they take on Metz in a midweek fixture. La Paillade continue to impress in the 2020/21 Ligue 1 campaign, and it is no wonder they are seen as favourites to win Wednesday’s clash. Montpellier are eyeing their fifth home win of the season, and you should bear in mind that boss Der Zakarian can count on key players for the match.
Metz, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding seven goals in total in the previous three league fixtures. Metz are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Montpellier, and given La Paillade’s current form, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. The likes of Cabit, N’Doram, Niane, Pajot, Udol, and Vagner have all been struggling with injuries in the away team.

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.
