Our Bet Explained
Despite his 6th place, Montpellier has only 3 wins in 11 trips (5 draws, 3 defeats).
The defeat against OL remained in the throat of Michel Der Zakarian, excluded during the match and acerbic in press conference, and his players. A little blow behind the head that could be important in Saint-Symphorien!
In all competitions, Metz has just played 5 games without defeat at home, including 3 wins and 2 draws!
And the Messins have not dropped anyone: Nice, 6th at the time of the match, Saint-Etienne and Strasbourg (3-0).
