Latest Metz vs Marseille football match prediction
After the first six rounds, coach Stéphane Le Mignan has yet to secure a victory with Metz, following continued disappointment from his attacking line last weekend.
Metz currently have the third-worst scoring record in Ligue 1 with just 5 goals, and in the match against Le Havre they didn't even manage a single shot on target – their third goalless streak of the season.
On the bright side, Metz have earned points in their last two home games, and have only conceded 2 of their 13 goals this season when playing at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
They will be looking to end a five-game winless run at home in Ligue 1 on Saturday, having previously won 10 of their last 12 home games in the league.
After 6 rounds, Metz has the highest expected goals conceded (12.6 xGA) and the fourth lowest expected goals scored (7.0 xG).
Les Grenats have earned points in 6 of their last 7 encounters with Marseille in Ligue 1, but their last home win was back in 2017 (1-0).
For Marseille, the controversial defeat against Real Madrid in their Champions League opening match seems to have served as a morale boost, as they immediately went on to win three consecutive matches in all competitions, scoring six goals and conceding only one.
If they win at Metz, Roberto De Zerbi's side will achieve their first consecutive away win in Ligue 1 in 2025. Currently, they have lost two of their three away games this season, failing to score in any of those defeats.
Last season, Marseille won two of their three away matches against newly promoted teams, their only defeat being a 0-3 loss to Auxerre in February.
They are now only 3 points behind the top spot before this round of matches, with 3 of their 5 goals conceded in Ligue 1 coming in away games.
Les Olympiens are unbeaten in their last nine Ligue 1 encounters with Metz. Their last visit to Stade Saint-Symphorien saw them draw 2-2 thanks to an 82nd-minute goal.
