Metz's Champions League second stage first meeting in Viborg finished at 53 goals with the home team bringing the pace down as much as possible because of their great injury struggles. Savenhof played Baia Mare, a team known for defense-oriented approach and tendency to avoid fast-paced games, to finish the game at 54 goals. That is probably what resulted in this margin, which I think is off. Both Metz and Savenhof prefer faster ace and both coaches talked about offense-oriented game (as per usual) ahead of this game. These two teams met last season to play a very close match that finished at 62 goals and the second leg in Metz that was not important anymore finished at 50 goals, first and foremost because Savenhof held back as they had a national league game ahead. This is a very important match and both teams will do their best. I thus expect a match to end closer to 60 goals, especially with Metz playing even faster-paced game since Roussel took over.
