Command Analysis

Metz

Current form
At the end of the season in Ligue 2, Metz took third place in the standings and immediately got into the semi-finals of the play-off matches for the right to promotion to Ligue 1. Recall that last season the hosts of the upcoming match played in the elite of French football, and had to play play-off matches with Saint-Etienne (1:2 and 2:2). It is noteworthy that the situation may repeat itself, because the greens, under certain circumstances, may take just the 16th place, and if the hosts of the upcoming match win the meeting, they will play Saint-Etienne again.

Metz is very strong on its own field, which cannot be said about Dunkirk in away games. Reaching the playoff finals is at stake, so the hosts will give their best, and we believe this will allow the club to emerge victorious in the current match and play in the playoff finals for the second year in a row for the right to host elite matches in the 2025/2026 season.

In such an important match, it is impossible to close in your own penalty area, because you can miss a stray goal, and then it will be very difficult to recoup. We think the game will be sharp on the offensive, and two opponents will be able to score.
Our betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.79
Betting on corners
If the match goes as we expect, then in addition to the goals from both teams, we will see a decent number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 8.5 corners in 1.84
