Match Preview
Olympique Lyonnais will host Metz at the Groupama Stadium on Saturday evening, with both teams looking to secure crucial points in Ligue 1. Lyon's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches. However, they will aim to leverage their home advantage against a Metz side that has shown resilience, recording three wins in their last five outings. Historically, Lyon has had the upper hand in their encounters, winning three of the last ten meetings, but Metz's recent form suggests they could pose a challenge. One notable angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams scoring. With six of the last ten head-to-head matches seeing both teams find the net, and the odds for BTTS at 1.75, this could be a promising bet. Additionally, Lyon's attacking prowess, combined with Metz's ability to counter effectively, suggests a match that could see multiple goals. Expect an engaging contest as both teams vie for supremacy in this Ligue 1 clash.
