Nice vs Metz prediction 2024-01-27
Buoyed by the Coupe de France win over Bordeaux, Nice will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Metz in the Ligue 1 round 19. Les Aiglons are on a five-game winning run at home and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. All Youcef Atal, Hichem Boudaoui, and Jeremie Boga are on international duty, while both Romain Perraud and Sofiane Diop miss out through injuries.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, are on a six-game losing run in all competitions, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Nice, who have turned their Allianz Riviera into a real fortress. All Ablie Jallow, Lamine Camara, Fali Cande, and Kevin Van Den Kerkhof are on international duty, while defender Christophe Herelle is sidelined through suspension.
