Nantes vs Metz prediction 2024-03-03
Nantes play host to Metz at their Stade de la Beaujoire in what is expected to be an exciting Ligue 1 game. Les Canaris quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to PSG, with the team beating Lorient on the road and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Moussa Sissoko serves a one-game ban, while both Kelvin Amian and Bastien Meupiyou are sidelined with injuries.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Montpellier and Lyon in the previous two league matches. Metz have been struggling on the travels this term and seeing that Nantes face a tough fixture list in February, losing to both Lens and PSG in front of home fans, home win should be considered. All Benjamin Tetteh, Kevin N’Doram, and Ablie Jallow are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Prediction: 1-0 (Nantes)
