Metz PSG betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams that have been doing very different campaigns so far in the French Championship. While Paris Saint Germain remains firm in the fight for the lead, Metz only appear in the second half of the league table. The home team owns the second worst defense of the competition, showing difficulty in neutralizing strung balls and stopping more skillful players, although they’re good at disarming. Paris Saint Germain is the owner of the best defense and second best attack of the championship, standing out especially in the balls in depth and the counterattacks, betting also in the plays through the flanks. Thus, the superiority of the visiting team is evident, so the most likely scenario for this match is an elastic victory of Paris Saint Germain, being a good option to bet on a match with more goals than usual.
