Metz vs Nice Prediction & Match Preview – Ligue 1 Clash on Extratips
Welcome to Extratips, where we break down all you need to know for the Ligue 1 showdown between Metz and Nice on November 9, 2025, at Stade Saint-Symphorien. Metz is currently struggling, sitting 16th with 5 points (1-2-7 record), while Nice is flying higher in 6th with 17 points (5-2-3). Metz just picked up a rare win but has struggled for goals, especially at home. Nice, after back-to-back victories, look full of attacking energy and confidence. Bet365 odds put Metz at 3.70 to win, Draw at 3.75, and Nice at 1.95, highlighting Nice as favorites. The bookies see goals too, with Over 2.5 at 1.67 and Both Teams to Score at 1.62.
Recent history is one-sided. Nice has beaten Metz the last three times. Head-to-head over their past five meetings runs: Nice 3-2 Metz, Nice 2-0 Metz, Nice 2-1 Metz, Metz 2-1 Nice, Metz 1-1 Nice. Metz has not won at home in their last five tries (1 draw, 4 losses), scoring just twice. Meanwhile, Nice is unbeaten in five away games, recording 2 wins and 3 draws, scoring 8 goals while conceding 4.
For Metz, strength comes from Gauthier Hein’s playmaking (4 big chances created), but finishing has been poor and their defense leaks goals, especially after conceding 6 against Lille. Nice is a team on the up, with Terem Moffi and Jéremie Boga striking form (7 goals between them in 9 games), plus one of Ligue 1’s stingiest defenses. Their discipline and attacking speed are real weapons but they sometimes leave gaps on the counter.
Look for Nice to push high and Metz to search for fast breaks. Expect key battles in midfield and set pieces to play a part. Storylines? Metz fighting for survival at home, Nice’s push into the top five, and two creative midfields going head-to-head. With Nice’s recent run and Metz struggling up front, the away side looks ready to take three more points.
