We can see from these Metz vs Monaco odds that the guests are the expected winners, which makes sense just looking at the Ligue 1 standings where Monaco are third and Metz are in the relegation zone.
Current form is also on the side of the guests, although Metz did win twice in their last three games in the league. Pair that with their desperation for points to ensure survival, they could prove to be a tricky opponent for Monaco in this match.

Metz preview: Keeping the hope of survival alive
After winning two in a row to give themselves a chance of staying up, Metz lost to Reims in the last round. So, the team remains in the relegation zone for now, but they are just three points behind a couple of teams who are currently safe. Eight rounds remain to be played in Ligue 1, so Metz will have to approach every game with a lot of urgency if they want to avoid relegation.
Meanwhile, Kevin N'Doram, Ismael Traore, Benjamin Tetteh, and Pape Diallo are out with injuries right now, while Danley Jean Jacques and Cheikh Sabaly are suspended.
