Marseille vs Metz Prediction & Tips
Marseille’s position among the top four in Ligue 1, which had seemed secure, is now seriously threatened following two consecutive league losses. The most recent was a 2-1 defeat at Monaco, which entered this matchday level on points with Marseille in fourth place. Those two setbacks mean Marseille have earned just 17 points so far this season (5W, 2D, 5L), the lowest total among the top-half teams, partly due to having kept only two clean sheets—the worst record in the league in that regard. Marseille fell 2-1 to Lille in their last match at the Stade Vélodrome, but they still have reason to be confident of a bounce-back, as they haven’t suffered two consecutive home losses in the top flight since November 2024.
Metz remains in last place in the standings despite showing some resilience with two 0-0 draws against Rennes and Nantes. In fact, against the Canaries, they were on the verge of securing a victory, but VAR disallowed their goal in the 95th minute. That marked the 16th consecutive league match without a win for the Maroon-and-Whites (4 draws, 12 losses), the longest winless streak among all teams in Europe’s top ten leagues. Furthermore, they have won only one away game all season in Ligue 1 (2 draws, 11 losses) and have conceded 37 goals on the road, surpassed only by Burnley of the Premier League (38) among teams in Europe’s top five leagues heading into this matchday.
