Metz could potentially go top of Ligue 2 standings if they beat Bastia on Friday night and if Lorient lose their game on the weekend.
The away side are unbeaten in their most recent five matches and are in decent form heading into this game. Conversely, Bastia have been quite inconsistent in recent rounds, winning just once in the last four Ligue 2 encounters.
Bastia vs Metz Betting Tips: Metz to Win
Metz are currently sitting in second position in Ligue 2 standings and thus simply based on this one fact they go into this game as favourites. They have won the last two matches in Ligue 2 competition and are also unbeaten in the last nine. Additionally, Metz have not lost any of their last four away matches.
Bastia, on the other hand, are winless in their last three Ligue 2 matches but are still undefeated on home soil this season (4W 6D 0L). That could be the only argument for betting against Metz, but Bastia’s first home loss has to come sooner or later and we believe that Metz have enough quality to upset the home side this Friday.
