France Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade Saint-Symphorien.

These are the two teams most used to meeting each other in Ligue 2, so this should be a special occasion on Sunday afternoon.

Metz came into this game in 17th place and clearly started the season badly. But we have to focus on now and in the last two games the club has improved a lot.

Metz beat Reims to record their first win of the season and followed that result with an excellent away draw against Marseille, with the game finishing 1-1.

Lorient are in 16th place and share the same points as Metz with 4. The club started on a positive note but the last few weeks have caught up with them. Lorient are without a win in their last 4 games.

The only light at the end of the tunnel is that a three-match losing streak ended last weekend when they drew 1-1 at home to Lyon. Both clubs have the opportunity to improve their league standings by 4-5 places with a win.

Metz vs Lorient: Head to Head

• The last match played here was won 2-1 by Metz.

Metz vs Lorient: Prediction

It would be easy to think that these two teams could be canceled because they are equal in quality and that we could see a boring game. It's not like that, history tells that these two teams play very entertaining games and the positive factor for us is that it's still early in the season, there's less to lose and we should see an open game again.

Over 2,5 goals seems like a gamble and Metz have been improving a lot lately, let's take a little risk and back the home team to win this game at half-time.

Metz vs Lorient betting tips:

• Over 2,5 goals to 2,50 (6/4)

• Halftime: Result: Metz wins by 3,00 (2/1).
