Caen v Metz : Ligue 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 5th Apr, 13:00 BST, Stade Michel-d'Ornano, Caen

Stéphane Le Mignan leads his Metz charges to the Stade Michel-d'Ornano in the Ligue 2 on Saturday afternoon, with Michel Der Zakarian's Caen waiting for them. Ligue 2 stats are the foundation of the predictions you'll find below, with head-to-head records included too. You can view it all, with infographics and odds available for seventeen major betting markets via the tabs.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're tipping a relatively tight affair here and, as such, we predict under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or less will be scored in total as Caen and Metz go head-to-head. Good performances all round will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have faith in both sides to deliver exactly that. The statistics and the odds below point in this direction too.
