THE PREDICTION
Following an impressive 0-2 victory away at Montpellier, Metz return home to host Lens who themselves enjoyed an outstanding win on the road in midweek, beating Monaco 0-3. With both sides riding the crest of a wave, this could lead to an entertaining encounter here, with the result potentially going either way. Despite their clean sheet in midweek, Metz had conceded in their last five Ligue 1 games previous to Wednesday’s shutout. With Lens averaging two goals a game over their past seven league matches, the firepower of the visitors is likely to prove the difference between the two sides here, allowing Lens to pick up a fourth successive win away from home.
