Montpellier v Metz
Our call
We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.
Montpellier v Metz is one to leave alone. The likely outcome is priced too short to be worth taking, and nothing else is sure enough to call.
Preview
Neither of these is in good shape underneath the results. Montpellier have most of the ball in nearly every game but it goes nowhere: in five of the seven they dominated it, they did not make the better chances. On top of that, they have conceded only 5 in their last ten when the chances they allowed would usually cost about 15. Their goalkeeper and their luck have carried them. Meanwhile, Metz have been out-created in six of their last ten games. The side that stops giving up the better chances first takes this one.
