Nantes vs Metz match prediction, 02 November 2025

Metz have been performing poorly since the start of the season, but I think their last win will give them the momentum to push forward in this game. They have managed to remain unbeaten in their last three games against Nantes, including two wins. On the other hand, have been trying their best since the start of the season, but there is little to show for it. So, I think the best option in this game is to see both sides find the back of the net in a game that will end in a draw.
