Nice will look to avoid automatic relegation with a win over Metz on the last day of the regular season. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches and an overall return of 1.00 points per game across the last ten. Attacking output has been limited, averaging only 0.90 goals per game, while home form is a concern with just 0.50 goals scored per match and no wins in their last four at home. Defensively, les Aiglons are slightly more stable away from home (1.00 goals conceded on average), but overall they still allow 1.60 per game. The good news is there are no fresh injury worries for the hosts.
Metz are already relegated and arrive in poor shape after a 4-0 defeat to Lorient, extending their winless run to ten matches with just 0.40 points per game. Their defence has been particularly fragile, conceding 2.40 goals per match, while away form offers little encouragement with 2.20 expected goals against and no wins on the road. Despite this, les Grenats do average 1.10 goals per game overall and have seen BTTS in 60% of matches, showing they can still occasionally contribute offensively. However, confidence is extremely low, especially with forward Nathan Mbala ruled out through injury.
Metz are already relegated and winless in 10, making them a weak opponent despite Nice’s inconsistency. Therefore, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Nice to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (Nice games average just 2.5 goals and their attack is not very productive).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 20:00.
