Game Totals Prediction

Two teams in crisis are meeting. Metz is hopelessly stuck at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table and will likely never escape the relegation zone. Lille, after a decent start to the season, is in a protracted crisis and is at risk of falling out of the league's top tier. Genesio's men will win the upcoming match; despite their problems, the "Bulldogs" are stronger and more skilled than the home team: Lille to win – P2 – 1.72.
