Metz vs Angers Prediction and Odds on 14 September 2025

Metz and Angers will kick off against one another in the France Ligue 1 Round 4 at Stade Saint-Symphorien Stadium. Metz will aim to secure a win on their home soil, having failed to record a point this season, while Angers will aim to secure a win on the road and snap their winless streak of two games. Let’s analyse previous results, overall performance, recent forms, and my betting opinion on how to place your bets.

Metz: Forms and Statistics

Metz have failed to secure a win in their three consecutive games this season against Strasbourg, Lyon and Paris FC. During these games, they managed to score two goals while conceding seven. Having failed to gain any points in 3 games, Metz are currently ranked below the league table in 18th place. In this match, Metz will aim to secure a win on their home soil and snap their winless streak of three games.

Metz Lineups

Metz are still unable to call on Joel Asoro and Fode Ballo-Toure due to injury, with coach Stephane Le Mignan expected to maintain his preference for a 4-4-2 system. Idrissa Gueye remains key to their attacking play, but the midfield will once again rely heavily on Benjamin Stambouli and Boubacar Traore.

🔖 Metz Confirmed lineup (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Jonathan Fischer

Defender players: Koffi Kouao, Sadibou Sané, Terry Yegbe, Benjamin Stambouli

Midfielder players: Jean Gbamin, Boubacar Traoré, Giorgi Abuashvili, Georgiy Tsitaishvili

Angers: Forms and Statistics

Angers have gained 4 points in 3 games, positioning them in 10th place in the league table. They recorded one win, one tie and one loss. They were victorious against Paris FC in their opening matchup of the season, while they suffered a defeat against PSG, and they tied against Rennes in their last matchup. During these games, they have scored two goals while conceding two. In this match, Angers will aim to secure a win on the road and snap their winless streak of two games.

Angers Lineups

Yassin Belkhdim and Louis Mouton both returned from suspension in the 1-1 draw with Rennes and are available again. However, Mouton picked up an injury setback that may see him miss this fixture. Dujeux is likely to return to his tried-and-tested 4-3-3 shape to keep the team balanced despite these absences.

Metz vs Angers match Prediction 14 September 2025

Metz will aim to secure their first win of the season on their home soil, while Angers will aim to secure their first win of the season on the road. Therefore, I expect an aggressive play since the home team will aim to prevent losing on their home soil following their winless streak of three games, while the visiting team will aim to secure a win and snap their winless streak of two games. However, considering that the home team have failed to perform well in attacking play and they are also weak in conceding goals, I expect the visiting team to end in a narrow win or end in a possible draw, while I expect scoring below three goals.
