Metz hosts Monaco in round 2 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, August 30th at Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien (Metz)
Mets held rather good friendly matches - the team clearly improved in terms of the attack. This is especially important, coupled with the results of the last championship, when the hosts were one of the least scoring teams in France. Beyond that, the stake will again be made on defense in this tournament. Metz is not that bad at home. The team managed to gain a foothold in Ligue 1, and it will try to get into the top ten this season. Hognon's team missed the first round.

I don’t know what kind of advantage Monaco can have in this game. It has a new coach. The problems are old. The fourth coach since 2018, a draw in the first match, and what difference does it make how many times the team hit Reims' goal? Kovac decided to trust the young footballers, and there are many sold players. Judging by the friendly matches of the offseason, the defense remained an open house. Monaco should fight for the highest places and maybe even for the Champions League, and not hang out in the middle of the standings. Of course, time will tell, but it seems to me that the management will again make changes on the coaching bridge at the end of the year.
When the Monegasques gain three or four victories in a row, then it will be possible to say that Monaco is on the right track. Kovac is just getting to know the team. Once again, a new coach will need time. And unsuccessful results can once again be attributed to this. In the last home match, Metz gained a crushing victory with a score of 3-0. The visitors have already shown their weak points in the first round. I will assume that there can be no advantage for the Red and Whites (due to what?). The hosts are quite capable of even gaining a victory due to well-coordinated defensive actions.
Prediction for the match: Metz to win with +0.5 handicap
