Metz vs Clermont prediction (1x2)

It is obvious that Metz is in some kind of downtrend as they didn’t won in last 4 games taking 3 points and losing once at home against rock bottom Nimes. In last game they traveled at Brest and took a creditable draw showing some good moments especially after the break. But they are quite far away of what they shown in first rounds. Mayuka will miss for Metz for 4-6 weeks and also remember first GK Didillon is also injured. Clermont is over performed so far being close to podium. They are coming after a crazy game with lot of goals, mistakes, penalties and changes on the table. They eventually won scoring twice in last 8 mins when they were 1-2 deficit. Diedhiou scored twice both from penalty. Till the end 3-2 against in form Bourg Peronnas is a good result which gave them high morale for this encounter. So far they proved difficult to be beaen on the road losing once in 4 trips at Auxerre, but you remember how much they missed in the end of the game. Rivieyran remains suspended also for this game. Difficult to make a bet here but keeping in mind Clermont played very well in away games, having in Diedhiou a lethal player and the fact that Metz is on some downtrend I see Clermont not losing here. Back the draw. gl
