REF’s picks

FC Metz possess the attacking firepower to break down a stubborn Sochaux side, making over 2.5 goals a solid value play at 1.93. Metz matches have been eventful lately, featuring plenty of goals at both ends of the pitch.

1. 1Metz's recent matches regularly see high scores, including a recent 2-4 defeat against Dijon.
2. 2Sochaux are defensively disciplined but struggle to keep clean sheets consistently away from home.
3. 3Metz can suffer from defensive lapses that might hand Sochaux a route back into the match.
