On January 22 2019 at 20:00 at the Stade Louis II in the forthcoming regular match of the Coupe de France Round of 32 the local Monaco will play against their guests Metz. This will be the match between Monaco, who are obviously failing in the current season of the League 1 and the real favorites of the League 2. The hosts are considered to be the favorites of the upcoming match by some of the experts and yet we think that their current conditions let any competitors play against them and win.
The current season of the Ligue 1 appeared to be not successful enough for Monaco as they lost to Strasbourg 1:5 and stayed on the 19th position in the standings under the real threat of relegation. As for the national cup, Henry’s side hardly overcame the modest Roussillon 0:1 in it which only proves that their conditions are really poor.
After the first half of the season Metz confidently take the first position in their league ready to get back to the national elite division after one year below it. Yet, last Friday they made their mistake and lost to Clermont 1:2. As for the national cup, they only won in it as they outplayed Olympique St Quentin, Oissel and Sarredguemines.
Of course, the representatives of the national elite division are considered to be the favorites. They will do their best to succeed at least in this competition as they have already failed in the national championship. All of the facts we have already mentioned make us think that the hosts are a bit more likely to win in the forthcoming game.
