Match preview

Our model makes Metz slight favourites, giving them a 50% chance of winning against 28% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.00 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.1 goals in total (1.35 for Metz, 0.79 for Sochaux), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Metz sit 10th on 14 points; Sochaux are 13th on 11.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
