Red Star v Metz prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.1 goals from Red Star and 1.3 from Metz, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This does not need a goal rush: we make it around 2.5 goals (xG 1.1-1.3), and two is enough to land it, landing about 71% of the time on these numbers.

We put the chance of that landing at about 68 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.31, which works out at about 76 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Red Star have won two of their last five.
Metz are unbeaten in their last five — one win and four draws.

Montpellier are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.6-0.8), and we make them about 57% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

This should be an open game: we make it around 2.7 goals between the two (xG 1.0-1.7), landing about 73% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
