Metz vs Reims Prediction & Tips
The Ligue 1 season is not quite over yet… There is still a play-off to be played to decide who will be the 18th team to play in France’s top flight next season. FC Metz and Stade de Reims will battle it out for the final ticket. The first round takes place this Wednesday at 20:00 at the Stade Saint-Symphorien. In front of their home fans, FC Metz will be looking to put themselves in the best possible frame of mind. And that’s exactly what we’re predicting. The Grenats made their status clear in their play-off opener against USL Dunkerque (1-0). They have no intention of taking their foot off the gas any time soon.
Stade de Reims, for their part, have just suffered a major blow. It was not until the final seconds of the 34th matchday of Ligue 1, and a goal from Le Havre AC at RC Strasbourg, that the Reims club slipped back to 16th in Ligue 1. It was a terrible disappointment for Stade de Reims, who face PSG in the French Cup final next weekend. Certainly, their priority is to stay in the top flight of French football. However, it will be no easy task to get their heads above water on that perilous trip to Messina.
