LiontipsMetz vs Brest. Prediction and Betting Tips for Ligue 1
Command Analysis
Metz are having a disappointing season - the Maroonswere eliminated from the first round of the French Cup after a defeat to Bergerac on penalties. Situation is not any better in Ligue 1 - the Messins are tipped for relegation to the Ligue 2 now.
After 33 rounds Frederic Antonetti's men have only four victories and 12 draws, delivering 24 points and a 20th spot in the standings. Team has a terrible offensive record with only 29 goals to their name.
Bronn, Cabit, Cande, Maiga, Oberhauser, Centonze and Udol are unavailable this weekend.
Brest also had an unsuccessful French Cup campaign this season. Team easily beat Dinan (1:0, pens) and Bordeaux (3:0) in two first rounds, but after that the Red-Whites have suffered a defeat to the eventual finalist of that competition, Nantes.
After 33 rounds of Ligue 1 Michel der Zakarian's team has 11 victories and nine draws in the asset, delivering 42 points and a 12th spot in the standings. Team has a decent offensive record, but club's defensive line is not so great. In the previous round the 29ers recorded a victory over Lyon (2:1).
Cibois and Le Douaron will miss the upcoming match.

Tip and bets
Brest are not in danger of relegation now, so team is just playing the season out at this point. Metz still have a chance for salvation, but for that they need to win all remaining matches. Hosts have a slight chance for a victory today, so we offer to place a bet on them.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Metz
We are not expecting too many goals today - both teams hardly create any goal-scoring chances. Opponents are also facing serious problems with squad selection, so the outcome will probably be decided by one or two goals.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
