Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Metz and Lorient will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Stéphane Le Mignan or Olivier Pantaloni has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to roughly a 79% probability.
