Goal Statistics

Metz's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Nice have conceded in each of their last 16 Ligue 1 matches. A PG of 1.8 for S. Le Mignan's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Nice of late. It has been 9 Ligue 1 games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against Metz.
