Lyon vs Metz Prediction & Tips
Lyon kicked off the season with a hard-fought victory over Lens (1-0), confirming their readiness to compete at the top of the table. Paulo Fonseca’s team is showing defensive solidity — two consecutive games without conceding a goal — and confidence in attack, especially at home, where the Lions have scored at least one goal in eight consecutive games. Despite the departures of Lacazette and Cherki, the depth of the squad maintains its competitiveness.
Metz has returned to Ligue 1, but suffered a home defeat to Strasbourg (0-1) on the first day. The team showed character at the end of last season, being the best away team in Ligue 2, but making the leap up a division will be a demanding test. The scoring streak ending after 13 games is a warning sign for the offensive line.
