Saint-Etienne vs Metz prediction

Saint Etienne took another step towards their long-awaited return to Ligue 1 with a convincing 2-0 victory over Rodez in the Ligue 2 final. The team had been on a remarkable run, having suffered only two defeats in their last 16 matches across all competitions. Their home form was particularly impressive, winning seven out of their last eight games and remaining unbeaten in all eight. Despite a disappointing loss on the final day of the season, Saint Etienne’s recent win against Rodez in the play-offs and their strong performances at home have kept them firmly on track for promotion.

On the contrary, Metz concluded this season in 16th place and now faces the daunting task of turning the page on their recent string of defeats to avoid relegation into Ligue 2. The team has struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in 8 out of their last 9 matches while conceding a concerning total of 58 goals – the third highest in the league. Despite holding recent victories over their opponents, Metz must elevate their performance if they hope to secure their spot in Ligue 1 for another season.

Saint-Etienne and Metz have struggled to maintain a clean sheet in the majority of their recent matches, with both teams conceding goals in three out of their last four games. The trend continues in their direct meetings, where goals have been scored at both ends of the pitch. This pattern suggests that neither team has a particularly strong defense, making it likely that we will see goals from both sides as our main Saint-Etienne vs Metz prediction.
