Nice take on the visitors Metz at “Allianz Riviera” in the round 16 of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, December 2nd.
Nice conducted a quite controversial week: on Sunday the side was simply destroyed by Lyon with 0:5 scoreline in face of its supporters while on Wednesday the club managed to beat Toulouse 2:1 with a players’ dismissal on the 40th minute of the clash and having scored both goals after 80th minute of the battle. That success allowed Lucien Favre’s team to move up to the 14th position in the elite division table with 17 points earned and 17-26 goal difference. Wesley Sneijder, Mario Balotelli and their teammates picked up 10 points with 13 goals for and 15 goals against in eight encounters played in front of their fans.

Metz are the weakest side of the French Ligue 1. The upcoming hosts not only have failed to win across five consecutive fights, they also failed to score even a goal in those matches. The club’s series without scored goal has reached 474 minutes of football already. Last round “Les Grenats” were broken at their own pitch by Marseille with 0:3 scoreline. Metz took four points with five goals for and 29 goals against in 15 encounters played, having settled confidently on the last place in the French elite division standings.
Last time Metz managed to defeat Nice was on the 17th of December 2005. Since then the rivals have met nine times resulting in four draws and five triumphs of “Les Aiglons”. Taking into consideration Metz’s results in this season, the hosts are obliged to pick up three points in the Sunday fight as they have much higher class comparing to the visiting side.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win.
