Montpellier Aim to Maintain Home Strength Against Metz

Montpellier sit second after a strong recent spell that includes four wins in their last five league outings. They concede just 0.4 goals a game at home and have kept clean sheets in seven of eleven matches overall. Metz sit tenth and have lost two of their last five while shipping 2.4 goals per game on average. The visitors have also seen both teams score in nine of their eleven league games so far. Montpellier have won four of the last ten meetings between these sides and rarely concede much on their own pitch. A draw would see the stake returned on this selection. The main risk remains Metz finding the net away from home where they average 0.8 goals.
