THE PREDICTION
Metz produced the shock of the weekend last week when they snatched a late away win at high-flying Lyon and their recent success has been built on a bedrock of a solid defence, which has conceded just once in the last six games. Nantes have also improved in that area and Raymond Domenech has made them a stubborn outfit since he took charge, so this encounter does not promise many goals. The slight edge just goes to Metz given that Nantes are winless in 11 but the obvious suggestion is to opt for Under 2.5 Goals in the betting markets given the playstyles of the two sides in question.
