THE PREDICTION
Lyon rallied to salvage a point from 2-0 down against Rennes last weekend which preserved their unbeaten run which stretches all the way back to mid-September. The hosts are averaging over two goals per game in Ligue 1 this season but their talented attack will be put to the test by a stubborn Metz side here, who have a knack for frustrating opponents. Their matches are quite often low-scoring with their last five encounters each seeing under 2.5 goals scored, but given Lyon’s form this season, you would still back them to find a way through. A low-scoring win for the hosts looks on the cards and the Win to Nil market holds some good value.
