Neither team comes into this match in good form. Montpellier has mostly lost lately, with a couple of draws mixed in, and Metz has been losing almost every game, often conceding several goals. Both sides look like they're struggling, so this is not a matchup of two confident teams.

When these two have met in recent years, the games have usually had goals - some were one-sided and some were tight draws. Given how poor both teams have been, this looks like a close, fairly open game. My sense is a draw is the most likely result, though a narrow Montpellier win at home wouldn't be a surprise.
