Metz vs Guingamp Prediction & Betting Tips (25 October)

Often cited among the teams capable of playing leading roles in this Ligue 2 championship, FC Metz is generally there for the moment. The Moselle club, which played in the elite last season, is in 5th place in the ranking, far from being irremediably behind by a small point on the podium. However, Stéphane Le Mignan's men have been lacking in consistency in recent weeks. In demonstration against Martigues 6-0, they were then surprised by Troyes 2-1 before relaunching against Amiens 2-1. But last week, the Grenats fell again on the Grenoble field 2-0, conceding 2 goals following 2 individual errors. Guingamp thought they had turned a new page this summer by dismissing Stéphane Dumont to replace him with Sylvain Ripoll.

And yet, the Forward offers the same scenario as in the last seasons. Because after having had an interesting start to the exercise, he is seriously falling into line after losing 3 of his last 4 matches. Logically dominated by Paris FC 2-0, the Bretons seemed to have bounced back by dominating Caen 3-1 . But they were largely beaten by Clermont 4-1 before showing amorphous performance against Pau FC 0-1 last week, weighed down by recurring defensive problems.

Still dismissed last week by his coach, former starter Van den Kerkhof is not at all guaranteed to be part of the group this week . For his part, striker Elisor risks having to withdraw after having already missed the trip to Grenoble last week. Fortunately for them, the Grenats should be able to count on the services of the excellent scorer Sabaly who is still at the top of the Ligue 2 scorers rankings with 8 goals to his credit. We should also find in the 11 the formidable Gautier Hein (2 goals, 1 assist) and the left side Udol (3 goals, 1 assist). For the En Avant, the two long-term injured players who are the full-back Ndour and midfielder Phiri are candidates for a place in the group this week.

On the other hand, the central defender important Gomis will not be reinstated unlike his competitor for the position Nair who could find the starting 11 in place of Riou. Sylvain Ripoll will undoubtedly be happy to find his playmaker Amine Hemia (4 goals) who missed the last two days. The young Picard (1 goal), the interesting Siwé (4 goals), right back Sissoko (4 assists) and supersub Luvambo (3 goals) are all available for this trip to Saint-Symphorien.
