Metz vs Strasbourg: Prediction for the Match on August 17 2025

Prediction for the France Ligue 1 game between Metz and Strasbourg ahead of Round 1. This game marks the beginning of a new season for both camps and while the Friendlies are all we have to make possible projections, expectations of victory are extremely high for either side. A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineups, and several betting options are available below.

Last Five Matches: WLWWL

Metz Maroons played through the Club Friendlies with four wins from six games. The final friendly match against Hoffenheim was a disastrous 8-nil eventuality, which made the players leave with so much doubt, after a nearly flawless Friendly campaign. 

At home, four recent games produced three wins and one stalemate, a testament to the solidity of the grounds at Saint-Symphorien. Netz has been unfortunate in direct clashes with Strasbourg, and while dynamism is one of the reasons we love the game of football, nothing is promised for the hosts at fulltime.

🏁 Metz: Lineup

Idrissa Gueye scored two goals against Thionville Lusitanos. He is the most preferred player on the team for goal-scoring. Stephan Le Mignan pushes Gueye to the forefront, with three midfielders backing him up. What Gueye lacks in tactical precision, he makes up for it with his tap-ins when the opportunity arises. 

  🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fischer, Kouao-Gbamin-Sané-Lawson, Traore-Stambouli, Tsitaishvilli-Abuashvili-Mputu, Gueye

👤 Head Coach: Stephan Le Mignan

⛔ Out: Nil

Strasbourg: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WLLWD

Les Bleu et Blanc, the Blues and Whites of Strasbourg were decent in the Club Friendlies, with two wins, two losses and one stalemate in the last five games. 

Away from home, five recent games has seen them consistently score in four, with two wins, two losses and one goalless. Strasbourg have a strong reputation for scoring, even if winning sometimes is not on the table. 

Strasbourg: Lineup

The tactic is quite simple; five midfielders and a man up front. The team is quick on the flanks and their major tactical approach is long balls into the box, with hope that someone’s head directs the ball into the back of the net.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Penders, Sarr-Doué-Doukoé, Moreira-Barco-Oyedele-Bakwa, Lemarechal-Nanasi, Emegha

👤 Head Coach: Liam Rosenior

⛔ Out: Nil

🎯 Metz vs Strasbourg Match Prediction 27 July 2025

The Preseason friendlies are all we have as leads for possible winning projections. Still Round One remains open for the better man who plays more of the attack, than defense. Although the game is preferred for the guests, Metz have a way of defending their home turf strongly. Also, Strasbourg has never lost to Metz. However, there is always a first time for everything.

Below are my best predictions:

🔥 My prediction is the Over 2.5 option at 1.85 odds from Bet365. I am wagering for goals to be numerous in this clash, due to the fact that the hosts will most likely push for an early cushion, which will be highly contested, and possibly overturned.

🔥 Our betting tip will be the Away/Draw, and Over 1.5 goals option at a coefficient of 1.70 odds from 1xbet. Strasbourg is the stronger team and unless they display complacence, Metz will not be able to push for even an equalizer, come full-time.

🔥 Lastly, I will pick this Match to end in a direct win for the guests at 2.19 odds from the Betway bookmaker. Such an outcome should happen if Strasbourg pursues goals from the early moments - as is their style of play when far from the comfort of familiar faces.
