Metz are two spots ahead of Montpellier in the rankings and are in rather better form. Remember that in seven of the previous ten home games in all competitions, Metz was unbeaten.
Montpellier is currently experiencing a three-game road losing run. But in this location, the two clubs had shared the last four victories evenly between them.
Also, three of the previous five matches played here have resulted in draws. This statistic compels us to think in favor of Metz in a win-or-draw scenario.
