Metz: form and statistics

Metz secured a 2-0 win over Nantes in their last game to get two wins in their last two games. Interestingly, both games ended with a 2-0 scoreline. Prior to these wins, they had remained winless in nine games played since the start of the season. While they have all in their corner to boost their morale, they will need to pick up another win here to really convince their fans that they are truly back. The Maroons currently sit second to the bottom of the table with eight points in eleven games, scoring 10 goals and conceding 26.

Metz vs Nice match prediction, 09 November 2025

Metz look like they are back in business with their two straight wins, but I still can’t trust them in a clash like this. They have failed to defeat Nice in their last three meetings, and their recent resurgence isn’t convincing yet. So, I think both sides will go all out in search of a win, which will lead to a high-scoring encounter.
