Nantes’ manager Rene Girard spoke about tightening up the defence to
be competitive for the new season and in that respect Nantes have done
very well, conceding just two goals so far. But football is about wins
and from the opening three games the Canaries have lost two. This
includes their last two matches against Monaco and Bordeaux. But they
will feel confident at home to get going again against Metz.
Metz can’t be judged on the road yet, it’s too early but what is
apparent is that at home this team won’t be easy to beat. The team are
scoring goals too. They have played just one away game and lost to PSG
3-0.
Nantes vs Metz: Head to Head
Nine of the last 11 fixtures between these two clubs have ended in draws. That is a huge stat that can’t be ignored.
The last two meetings in Nantes in Ligue 1 have ended 0-0. From the
four league games played this century between the clubs at Le Beaujoire,
three of those have ended fewer than 3 goals.
Nantes vs Metz: Prediction
On the face of it this game could be a draw and we would all expect
that to happen. But a win for Metz could see them shoot up into the top
five, and they might just go all-out attack. This will leave spaces
early and a match that has the potential to be forgettable could end up
being more entertaining than we think. Remember Metz won’t always get
the chance to be near the top of the table they need to take this
opportunity. This doesn’t mean we think they can win but it does mean
the game could have goals and some excitement.
Nantes vs Metz: Bet Tips
