Metz vs Marseille match prediction, 04 October 2025

Metz have been performing below expectations since the start of the season and have remained winless. On the other hand, Marseille have been exceptional both domestically and on the continental scene. They defeated Ajax 4-0 in their last game, and I believe they will carry that same momentum forward. Not only that, they have kept three clean sheets in their last five games, and I think this excellent run will continue.
