D1 - Football - France - Ligue 1

Since the moment I saw the prize for this bet, I know that this is must take a bet for me for today.

IMO, the bookies are offering wrong odds for this possible outcome.
Montpellier is set as the sliced favorite at this encounter. Hosts are trying to reach the 4th spot on the standing which promise to play in Europe competition next season and are only 4 points away (and one game less). After 3 straight domestic wins, they suffered a big defeat in Paris from PSG, losing the game with 5-0. Also, on that game, they received two red cards which means both players goalkeeper Bertaud and midfielder Chotard are out of the squad. Also, Mends is missing due injury, Cozza is out as well from the same issue.

Possible line-up: Rulli, Congre, Hilton, Tallec, Oyongo, Ferri, Savanier, Souquet, Mollet, Laborde, Delort.

Metz is coming into great shape. Visitors didn’t lose a single match since losing vs Nice 4-1 in December. Recently, they have managed to win the last 3 domestic league matches vs Strasbourg at home 1-0, vs Reims on road 0-1 and vs St. Etienne at home by 3-1. Full with self-confidence, Metz is coming with clear attention to continue the winning road. The only missing players in the squad are Cabit and Cohade due injuries, the rest of the squad is available for tonight.

Possible line-up: Oukidja, Centonze, Bronn, Boye, Udol, Maiga, N’Doram, Pajot, Niane, Diallo, Nguette.

Getting this information, I can’t avoid the great moment on the visitors' side here. Metz is playing under offensive tactics 4-3-3, having their best player and top scorer Diallo in the attacking line-up for tonight’s clash. Montpellier is the side which forces tactics with 3 central defenders as usually are playing under 3-4-1-2. Also, Metz is quite dangerous in jump-game and free-kick positions. Hosts are conceding goals on 4 out of the last 5 games. After conceding 5 goals from PSG, their defensive confidence should not be on the same level.

A lot of details are open here. Additional is the fact that their previous H2H match in Metz has been covered by the score 2-2.

The moment allows me to believe that this match, under these circumstances can be covered by one goal on both sides.

Good luck!
