Brest vs Metz Prediction & Betting Tips (7 April)

The weeks pass and Stade Brestois continues to get even closer to its dream of the Champions League. A real sensation of this season in Ligue 1, the Breton club still occupies 2nd place in the ranking, certainly 12 points behind the Parisian leader but still 4 points ahead of 4th place occupied by Losc. Victorious against Le Havre 1-0, Eric Roy's men then had to lose to Lens 1-0 before holding Lille to a 1-1 draw before the international break. Manhandled in the Breton derby against Lorient last weekend, the Finisterians were still able to find the resources to resist and even win at the end of the match 0-1. Opposite, FC Metz does not share the same enthusiasm as his opponent of the day.

On the contrary, this team is still stuck in the red zone, in 17th position, and it may well return where it came from, in Ligue 2. Laszlo Bölöni's players are still 3 points behind the barrage at the start of this 28th day and their last performances are not really hopeful. Because if they had been able to achieve 2 successes against Nantes 0-2 and Clermont 1-0, the Grenats quickly fell back against Reims 2-1 then against AS Monaco 2-5 last weekend after an early start quite terrible match during which they conceded 3 goals in 20 minutes.

The left back replacing Amavi, injured for a long time, risks once again staying out of Eric Roy's group this week. Additionally, substitute Brahimi will be suspended after being sent off just seconds after coming on last week. Good news, however, for the Bretons with the return of Pierre Lees-Melou to midfield, he who was penalized for an accumulation of yellow cards. Against the Merlus, it was the interesting Romain Del Castillo (6 goals, 5 assists) who was able to score the only goal for his team to give his team the victory. Striker Le Douaron (4 goals), Uruguayan Satriano, and the solid Camara (5 goals) and Magnetti should also start. For Metz, starting midfielder N'Doram, right back Maxime Colin and disappointing striker Lamkel Zé will be back.

Absent last week, senior defender Hérelle is uncertain while the Swede Asoro and the disappointing striker Tetteh will have to withdraw. Replacement Atta should also be missing. Suspended last weekend, starting midfielder Jean-Jacques and the important Sabaly will once again qualify for this match. Offensively, Georgian striker Mikautadze remains the most decisive player in this team with 5 goals scored.
