Montpellier welcome Metz at Stade de la Mosson, Montpellier on Saturday, Nov 7 at 2:00 PM in a Ligue 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Montpellier come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Metz travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Montpellier lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Metz won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Montpellier a slight edge, but Metz are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
