There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Nice's last 5 games (Ligue 1). Nice have won their last 4 matches (Ligue 1). Metz have failed to win 17 of their last 18 home matches (Ligue 1). Nice have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches (Ligue 1). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Metz's last 3 games (Ligue 1).
Frédéric Antonetti will miss out here, serving a one-match touchline ban for his behavior in the team's match against Lyon in December. Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik is a doubt here after being forced off in the team's win over Reims. With so few options in defence, youngster Lenny Lacroix could be an option for the hosts. Morgan Schneiderlin is back from serving a one-match ban, but winger Justin Kluivert will miss out for an accumulation of bookings. After a hard-fought win over Nantes last Friday, don't expect wholesale changes from Christophe Galtier's side. Melvin Bard missed out on Friday recovering from COVID-19; Jordan Amavi and Flavius Daniliuc are both options should the youngster be similarly unavailable here.
Metz put together a gritty display to earn a win against Reims at the weekend, but will likely find things far more difficult against a more capable attacking side in Nice. Les Aiglons have proved themselves vulnerable on the counter this season, as illustrated by losses to the likes of Strasbourg and Montpellier, but should have enough going forward to put any worry of dropping points out of mind. 1:2
