Metz vs Reims Predictions, Betting Tips & Predictions

Metz v Reims
France Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, September 20, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade Saint-Symphorien.

Both clubs need the points when they meet on Sunday afternoon. Metz is 18th and Reims 17th and they have 1 point between them.

The local team lost the first 3 games. However, the excuse is that it had a very difficult start having to face already PSG, Lille and Monaco, these teams could finish in the top 3 this season.

The good news if we look at some is that despite Metz having lost all matches so far and not having scored a single goal, they have only conceded 3 goals, one in each match, which shows us that their defense has worked a lot. hard this summer and well drilled.

Reims got off to a bad start, with just one draw and two defeats. They lost at home to Lille and then lost 1-0 at Angers. The problem could be that the club are trying to qualify for Europe for the first time in 60 years. The team is involved in qualifying for the Europa League, where they beat Swiss Servette 1-0 in the middle of the week, the second leg is next week and they may not be very focused on this game either.

Metz vs Reims: head to head

• Last season, this game ended 1-1.
• Reims haven't beaten Metz since 2012, with 6 games.
• Reims has not won at Metz for 15 years.
• The last 3 league games ended with under 2,5 goals.

Metz vs Reims: Prediction

Reims are a decent team, but they lost some quality in the summer, and they are not focused on the championship at the moment, but they are trying to qualify for the Europa League.

Metz is balanced in defense with little quality in attack, so we believe this game will be very disputed with few goals. Predicting a draw after 90 minutes is never easy, but we will support a draw at half-time with a low number of goals.

Metz vs Reims: betting tips:

• Halftime: Correct score: 0-0 to 2,10 (11/10)

• Under 1,5 goals at 2,25 (5/4).
