Brest form and stats
Three Ligue 1 home games done for Brest, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
Brest lost their last game at Nantes (placed 8th) after a 1-3 scoreline. Midfield player Hianga'a M'Bock got a match rating of 7.1 in that game, the max score being 10. M'Bock hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 26 successful passes (of 30 total).
1-1 away at Clermont before that.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brest have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost one.
Brest are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Brest have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Metz form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ligue 1 for Metz with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Three has not been a lucky number for Metz as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Clermont match.
Metz failed to get anything from their last game, a Ligue 1 home match vs Paris Saint Germain (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. Metz were so close to getting something from the game against Paris Saint Germain, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime. Matthieu Udol, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.34. Udol won 1 of 2 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Strasbourg wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.We have checked recent matches where Metz have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were five victories, six draws and four defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Metz as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. For Metz, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
