The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Wednesday's Ligue 1 clash between Metz and Montpellier HSC, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Metz 0-2 Montpellier HSC

Metz may be coming off a high note which is not the case for Montpellier, but they have been poor at home for a long time and have not beaten La Paillade in Metz in their previous three fixtures against them. Losing consecutive matches is rare for Montpellier, and we do not expect that trend to continue, given the experience of this squad compared to their opponents on Wednesday. Read more.
