Metz vs. Montpellier

Metz is ranked sixth in the 20-team French League 1 with the offense clicking, winning three in a row netting 7 goals. They host a Montpellier squad that is in the bottom half of the standings because of a poor defense (41 goals allowed in 22 matches). That defense is tied for third-worst in the league. Montpellier is on a 0-6-2 run surrendering 20 goals. The defense struggles badly away from home giving up 11 goals in their last four road games, coming off back-to-back road losses to Olympique Marseille (3-1) and Paris St. Germain (4-0). Look for far more offense than defense. Take Metz/Montpellier OVER the total.
