Metz take on Nice at the Stade Saint-Symphorien in a Ligue 1 match this Sunday.
Metz are currently in 17th place in the table after a slight upturn in form in recent weeks. Nice, meanwhile, are currently in 8th after a slightly disappointing start to their campaign.
So can Metz keep up their good run, or will Nice bring them back down a little this weekend?
Metz vs Nice Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Nice have won their last three matches with Metz, including in their most recent two visits to the Stade Saint-Symphorien. The last time Metz beat Nice at home was back in January 2018.
- After going winless in their first nine matches this season, Metz have finally managed to kick into gear in the last couple of weeks. After scoring a big upset of high-flyers Lens, they were also able to defeat Nantes last weekend, finally climbing off the foot of the table.
- Nice, meanwhile, come into this game on the back of two straight losses, as they followed their expected defeat to PSG last weekend with a European loss to Freiburg on Thursday. The defeat to the German side was very disappointing, as after taking a 1-0 lead, they conceded three in the first half to lose 1-3.
- Not only have Metz been able to win their last two matches in a row, but surprisingly, both wins saw them keep clean sheets. This marks a huge turnaround for a side who managed to concede 26 goals in their first nine matches.
- While Nice have been in poor form in European matches, their domestic form in recent weeks has been markedly better. In fact, their loss to PSG last weekend was their first in a run of six matches.
Metz vs Nice Prediction
A few weeks ago, this would've been an easy game to predict in favour of Nice. After all, Metz looked doomed after not winning any of their opening nine games.
After two wins on the bounce, though, they appear to have given themselves hope, and Les Graoullys will be hopeful of picking up a third victory here.
However, Nice have won their last three meetings with Metz, including two at this stadium, and will be desperate to bounce back from their poor loss to Freiburg. In domestic competition, they have been on solid form, too.
Therefore, we should expect a relatively tight game, but one that Nice should win.
Prediction: Metz 0-1 Nice
