– Team Stats: Reims averages 0.7 goals scored and 1.1 conceded in their last 10 games, while Metz averages 2.2 scored and 1.6 conceded. Despite Metz’s higher scoring, their defensive vulnerabilities may not push this game into a high-scoring affair.

Recent Form & Head-to-Head
– Reims: 3 wins in 10, low possession (39.3%), and minimal creativity (9.8 shots/game).
– Metz: 5 wins in 10, dominant possession (63%), and higher attacking output (11 shots/game).
– Last H2H: Reims won 2-1 in March 2024, but Metz’s current form suggests a potential reversal.
Surprise Factor
Reims’ recent shock 0-2 win over Lens (odds: 6.2) shows they can defy expectations. However, Metz’s ability to grind out results—like their 1-1 draw vs Marseille (odds: 9.5)—makes them a resilient underdog.
Final Verdict
With Metz’s superior form and Reims’ struggles in attack, the value lies in backing Metz or Draw (Double Chance). However, the best bet remains under 3.5 goals, given both teams’ tendencies and Ligue 1’s low-scoring nature.
