Metz
LLLLD
Metz arrive this fixture as the worst performing side in the French top-flight this campaign. They currently rank bottom of the log with the fewest victories (3) of any team in the division. Those winning results came in succession and since the last of them against Nice at home in early November, Metz have not managed a league win. Their last 15 encounters have ended in defeats at full-time on 12 occasions. Their latest fixture which ended in a goalless draw with Rennes broke off a five game losing streak.
Nantes
LWLLD
Nantes have been equally disappointing this campaign and occupy the penultimate spot of the drop zone. Only three points separate them from their opposition in this encounter, although playing a game fewer. They come into this encounter having failed to build on the convincing victory over Le Havre at home courtesy of two unreplied goals. Their last three games have all ended defeats in full-time. The visitors' concerns is highly compounded by a lacklustre offensive unit that's only breached the opposition goal 24 times in 26 games.
Prediction
This bottom table affair is one between defensively poor sides. To that effect, a game with at least two plus goals could be anticipated.
What are the best odds for the game?
