Marseille vs Metz Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Marseille vs Metz
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Velodrome Stadium.

Marseille are favorites to win this match and any other result would be a shock at the Stade Velodrome.

OM started the season in good form after winning their first two games, now their last two are winless. A 2-0 home defeat by Saint Etienne was followed by a home draw with Lille. This game gave Marseille the luck to play three consecutive matches at home and look for at least one victory in those matches.

They currently have 7 points and are just three for Saint Etienne.

Metz is in 17th place and has 3 points, but a victory would leave the team just one point behind Marseille. Metz got off to a bad start by losing their first three games in a row, but last weekend they managed to conjure up a win to beat Reims 2-1.

Those two goals were Metz's first of the campaign and both were scored by Ibrahima Niane. Can you make a mark this weekend?
