I see big value in this home win for Metz. Stade Municipal is famous with his hot fans and they will try to help Les Grenats secure their 3 win in a row at home. Metz is traditional team for the French League I, but serious crisis hit them lately and they were fallen to Championnat National, but make instant impact and return to League II fast. Now they need this season to secure their mid-table place in the league. In the last three matches at Metz the home team have 2 wins and a draw.
Niort is one of the candidate for the relegation and a small team without any serious success. They started the season with 3 draws, but now have a number of missing players - Glombard, Houla and Lafourcade (two of them regular first players) and I believe it will be hard for them at this inhospitable stadium. Last season they finished just 2 points above the relegation zone and had just 3 wins as visitors.
LOSS - Metz - Niort - 1 : 1
