The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Ligue 1 clash between Metz and Nantes, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Metz 0-1 Nantes

With these sides heading into their meeting on very different runs of form, we are predicting Nantes to come out on top here thanks to their high spirits following their successes in recent weeks. The hosts struggle to find the back of the net on so many occasions, and with Nantes boasting one of the meanest defences in Ligue 1, we are predicting a low-scoring encounter on Sunday. Read more.
