Metz vs St Etienne Match Preview And Prediction
Metz vs St Etienne: After losing to St Etienne 2-1 in their previous Ligue 1 Play-off match, Metz will be hoping for a better outcome in this match. FC Metz had 45% of the possession in that game and only one of their five shots on goal was on target.
Ismaël Traoré scored for FC Metz in the 45th minute. Only two of Saint-Etienne’s fifteen total attempts on goal were on target. St Etienne’s goals came from Ibrahim Sissoko (19′) and Irvin Cardona (80′).
The FC Metz have not kept a clean sheet in far too few of their recent games. In actuality, FC Metz has allowed goals in five of their last six games, conceding ten goals in the process. St Etienne has scored nine goals overall in their last six meetings.
In each of those instances, St Etienne has also scored. They have allowed five goals to be scored against them in those games. However, there’s no guarantee that pattern will continue into this encounter.
Metz vs St Etienne: Betting Analysis
Looking back to July 02, 2021, their previous head-to-head record indicates that Metz has won two and St Etienne has won three, with one match ending in a draw. Over the course of those games, they scored 16 goals in total, with Les Verts scoring eight and Les Grenats scoring eight. That translates to an average of 2.67 goals per game.
The Mets manager, László Bölöni, has one fitness issue out of an otherwise fully-primed bunch of players, thus almost everyone can be taken into consideration. Dead leg Ablie Jallow is not playing. Olivier Dall’Oglio, the manager of St Etienne, has no concerns about fitness because there are no injuries in his squad at all ahead of this match.
