Metz vs Monaco Prediction & Tips
Metz’s first season back in Ligue 1 has been extremely tough, and all signs point to them finishing in the bottom two spots—unless they can break their 19-game winless streak in league play (5 draws, 14 losses). Only seven times in Ligue 1 history has a team gone 20 games without a win in a single season, and with seven losses in their last nine home league matches (D2), Metz could become the eighth club to achieve this. Most of those losses have been lopsided, as only two teams in Europe’s top five leagues have conceded more goals at home in 2026 than Metz (16).
Monaco is fighting for European spots, but they aren’t in great form either, having failed to win in their last three Ligue 1 matches (D2, L1)—a surprising slump after a seven-game winning streak. Their recent stumble has all but ended their chances of finishing in the top three, though closing the two-point gap to sixth place before this matchday remains possible. At least, Monaco can rely on their strong away form in the league in 2026 (W3, D3, L1), and considering they haven’t lost this season to any team in the bottom six before this matchday (W6, D5), this match looks favorable on paper.
