Metz To March On In Tours
Monday evening sees top of the table Metz travel to rock bottom Tours in French Ligue 2 action for a game in which the fate of both teams could be made increasingly clear.
Tours are already cast adrift at the foot of the table, with no goals scored in their last three games and no win since mid-February. By contrast Metz have a 10-point cushion over fourth-placed Amiens in their quest for automatic promotion, have lost just two league matches in 30 this season and possess a watertight defence that has been breached on just 14 occasions to date.
Complacency could be the biggest problem for the visitors, while it should also be pointed out that Tours are not exactly pushovers on their own turf. Even so, it looks worth taking the 101-100 with Canbet for Metz -0.5 on the Asian Handicap, a bet that would prove lucrative for any Metz victory.
