Monaco vs Metz: Three easy points for the hosts

Monaco will take on Metz in round 17 of Ligue 1. Let’s see how the opponents are doing and what’s best to bet on.

Europa League forced Monaco to completely neglect the French championship, which must be fixed immediately. Currently, the club is 9th in the standings with 23 points. The Monégasques are four points behind the playoff zone, so it’s quite easy to change that. In the upcoming game, Monaco should do their best to get the needed points, or it will be much more difficult to catch up afterwards.

After the big sensation of beating a powerful Nice (1-0), Metz lost to Montpellier (1-3). This is proof that they were very lucky in the match with Nice. On approaching the encounter with Monaco, Metz sits in the penultimate place and has 12 points. They need to earn at least two points to get into the safe zone, It may sound pretty simple, but everything is much more complicated in reality.

Monaco will not neglect the points and will defeat their rival at home. Metz conceded a total of 33 goals in 16 rounds, with only Bordeaux having a worse result (37). That is, on average, the visitors concede a little more than two goals per game. In general, we suggest betting on a resounding victory for Monaco.
