Clermont Metz betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 14^th position of the league, with 2 points won, after 2 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Nantes, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Reims, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Metz has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Metz enters this match after a draw, 1-1 against Stade Reims, thus adding the third consecutive match without winning in this competition: the only goal of the team was signed by Habib Maïga. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a faster playing style. In this scheme, the three pieces that will play a more offensive role are Cheikh Sabaly, Lamine Gueye and Ibrahima Niane, the latter being very powerful and competent in finishing. Coach Frédéric Antonetti will be without Kevin N’Doram, Warren Tchimbembe, Opa Nguette, Manuel Cabit and Farid Boulaya as they are currently injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Alexandre Oukidja, Matthieu Udol, Sikou Niakate, Dylan Bronn, Boubakar Kouyate, Digbo Maiga, Boubacar Traore, Vincent Pajot, Pape Sarr, Ibrahima Niane, Mamadou Gueye.
Coach: F. Antonetti.
