Head-to-head statistics Red Star - Metz
Red Star Team Overview
Eight points and sixth place - Red Star are the first team outside the play-off positions. They have scored fewer goals than they have conceded: five against six, and they are the only side in the top six with a negative goal difference. The points they have picked up have come in matches where both teams scored. The club have a new manager: at the end of August Gregory Poirier left for Nantes, and Damien Perrinelle took over. Under him Red Star immediately won three points away from home, so the change in the dugout has not disrupted results so far.
Match Results: Red Star
Metz Team Overview
Metz lasted just one season in Ligue 1, but their second attempt at the top flight has started steadily: nine points, no defeats and fifth place. Luxembourger Luc Holtz builds his side around defensive solidity - in five matches this season, the Lorrainers have conceded just four goals. Their attack only really clicked last round, when Metz thrashed Rodez 4-1 at home, with Pape Moussa Fall completing a hat-trick. Away from home it is a different story, and has been since their Ligue 1 days: Metz have scored more than one goal in just one of their last 11 away matches. Their last four away trips have all ended in draws.

Corner Kick Prediction
Metz matches tend to produce plenty of corners: in 6 of their last 7 away games, the total exceeded nine. The visitors defend a lot on the road, and clearances from the box regularly go behind for corners. The bet is Total Corners - Over 9.5.
Reliable Bet
Red Star have scored in 10 of their last 11 matches. The visitors have a solid defence, but the hosts' run has held up against teams of that calibre too. The odds are short, but the reasoning is straightforward. The bet is Red Star Team Total - Over 0.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are: 1-1 (12.87%), 0-1 (11.53%) and 1-0 (9.95%). Of these, a 1-1 draw has the highest probability, though the gap between first and second place is small.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Red Star score almost every time - in 10 of their last 11 Ligue 2 matches. In head-to-head meetings, the hosts have also conceded in 8 of the last 9, meaning neither side has ever managed to keep this fixture goalless. Metz show the same consistency: they have scored in 12 of their last 13 league matches. We don't expect both runs to end on the same evening. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
