Match description

I back the away win (Paris) because their form is clearly superior: in the last 5 matches they have 2 wins and 3 draws, undefeated, and scored 9 goals, whereas Metz in their last 5 have 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses and only 4 goals. Metz conceded 63 goals this season and concedes an average of 1.64 goals per home match, while Paris conceded 45 goals this season and concedes 1.33 goals per away match on average, giving the visitors a defensive edge. Offensively Paris score 1.00 goal per away game with an 11% conversion rate and only 27% of away matches without scoring, whereas Metz at home score 0.93 goals per game, have an 8% conversion and as many as 50% of home matches without a goal, so the visitors are more efficient. Metz have higher average xG at home (1.34) than Paris away (xG 1.07), but in practice Paris have been better at converting chances recently (9 scored vs 4) and have a higher points average over the last 5 (1.8 vs 0.4), which increases their chances. Considering the goal differential over the last 5 (-6 for Metz vs +4 for Paris) together with Paris’s superiority in efficiency and lower share of games without a goal, I assess probabilities as: Paris 60%, draw 25%, Metz win 15%.
