Monaco to show their superiority...again

AS Monaco are currently one of the best performing teams in Europe this season. Since they have done away with the idea of trying to buy the league title with massive financial outlay and have put more emphasis on team cohesion and quality performances, they seem to have discovered a formula that works.
Their focus for this season is the league title, and even though they are still fourteen games to go and lead the table with just three points, one can be forgiven to think they will surely win it and achieve their aim. Their goalscoring record this season is simply fantastic, with the team scoring a brilliant 3+ goals per match.
They currently top the Ligue 1 table, leading PSG and Nice which are the closest teams to them by three points. They have picked thirteen of their last possible fifteen points at home and have lost just one of their last fifteen games, winning eleven of them and drawing the remaining three.
Monaco have scored seventy goals in the league this season, at least fifteen more than any team in the top five leagues in Europe. They are easily the best team in the Ligue 1 this season as far as attacking football is concerned.
Metz, on the other hand, are not having an exceptional season which isn't exactly surprising for followers of Ligue 1. They are on a decent run of form at the moment as they have won three of their last four matches in the league. They won their last game against Dijon 2-1, but any confidence or morale boost they might have gotten from that result would do nothing to help them against a rampaging Monaco side scoring goals by the bucketfuls. Their last meeting with Monaco ended in a brutally heavy defeat for them as they lost 7-0 on their home ground.
Monaco have won all five of their last five meetings against Metz in Ligue 1 and have kept a clean sheet in eight of the last eleven. Barring an earth shattering miracle, Monaco will definitely come away with all three points from this one scoring at least three goals in the process. A two goal handicap (or one goal handicap to play safe) may not be a bad idea too.
