Betting Insights
- The bookmakers make Red Star 93 Saint Ouen favorites at 2.55 here, which seems a little harsh on fourth-placed FC Metz at 2.75, and that's why we will be sitting on the sidelines in the result markets.
- The 3.2 available on the draw also looks generous as the visitors are unbeaten in their two away games so far this term with two draws and no defeats.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.85 looks the best play for Monday's Ligue 2 fixture, although Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.67 also appeals.
Prediction
That could make for a tense chess match at Stade Bauer and, as Red Star attempt to turn the opposition over and Metz look to exploit the space in behind, a tight game is likely .
