There have been nine meetings between the two sides since 2017. Angers SCO dominated this spell, registering six wins and also kept three clean sheets in that spell. Mets were winners only twice while one game ended in a draw. The average number of goals per game during this period was 2.22.
Metz team overview
Having been relegated at the end of the 2023/24 Ligue 1 season, Metz secured immediate promotion by defeating Dunkerque 1–0 in the playoff final at the end of last season after finishing in third.
Stéphane Le Mignan's side have literally nothing to celebrate on their return to the top flight so far, having lost all three games and failed to score in two of them.
However, Les Grenats will be motivated by the fact that they have lost only one of their last seven competitive matches at Stade Saint-Symphorien and also won their last home game against Angers in 2022.
Sadibou Sané is suspended for Sunday's game after receiving a red card in the 3-2 defeat to Paris FC before the international break.

Angers team overview
Meanwhile, Angers returned to the French top flight last season after a year in the second division and managed to avoid relegation.
Les Scoïstes have had a decent start to life in Ligue 1 with four points from three games and lost their only away game so far by just 1-0 to reigning champions PSG.
The trip to Stade Saint-Symphorien comes too soon for Himad Abdelli, who has missed the last three games due to back problems but there are no suspended players.

Prediction
Metz have conceded six goals in their last two games, both of which were away games, but they usually displays strong defensive capabilities at home. Stéphane Le Mignan's side have conceded under 1.5 goals in each of their last three home games and gave away the same number of goals in their last two games against Angers at this venue. With none of Angers' last four competitive games seeing more than two goals scored, I expect a close game that could end in a goalless draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Eight of the last nine meetings between Metz and Angers at this ground ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Six of the last seven Ligue 1 games of Angers ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in each of the last three home games of Metz.
