Metz vs Lyon Betting Tips &— Lyon to Win

Arriving at the Stade Saint-Symphorien in excellent form, Lyon has claimed victories in nine of their previous 11 matches, including each of the last four.

Undoubtedly, the previous Ligue 1 champions had a difficult beginning to the season. Before their latest string of victories, Lyon had secured only one win in their initial 14 matches of the season. After sinking to the last position on the table, Les Gones have now climbed to 11th place in Ligue 1.

Pierre Sage’s team has been successful on the road, winning four out of their last five matches. This includes a 2:1 victory over Montpellier earlier this month. They are likely confident in their ability to defeat a struggling Metz team and secure the points.

The home team is currently on a ten-game winless streak, having lost eight matches. In Ligue 1, László Bölöni’s team has only managed to secure one point from their past nine league games and has faced defeat in their last four home games.

When these teams clash, goals are typically scored, with both teams scoring in five of their last six matches. However, considering their recent performance, betting on the visiting team seems the smartest gamble for Friday’s Ligue 1 game.

I´m backing Lyon to maintain their superb turn in form with another three points on Friday.
