OGC Nice vs Metz FC Prediction: Too easy for Nice!

The title trial is growing cold with each passing week and more especially after OGC Nice dropped points in their defeat to Stade Rennes in the last round.

They take on Metz FC and they need all 3 points to keep their place or drop down the table.

Metz FC might be around the poorest team in recent weeks after losing 5 league games in a row. They travel to the Allianz Riviera to tackle OGC Nice and they hope to end their losing streak. However, with such outrageous statistics, it looks almost impossible.
