SM Caen @ FC Metz (2:30pm EST)

**EaglesPhan36** · 12-21-09, 09:41 AM

Had this one marked for an over today. Think a push is the worst case scenario at 2. Think this match is going to get some heavier than usual action. Price on the over has already jumped from -109 to -115 at BetPhoenix since last night.

**Ruifgalmeida** · 12-21-09, 09:52 AM

i will take the under in french league at any day, I thinking of laying caen in betfair also

Nice to hear. I'm gonna go check some more chit on the web to find out line-ups and whatnot. Thanks EP!

Metz has scored multiple goals at home in 4 of their last 5 & Caen road matches have hit 2 or better in 7 of 8. That is enough to think this gets to at least 2 for me.

**SRBI** · 12-21-09, 10:12 AM

After reading up on some more info, I'm going with FC Metz HW @ 2.0.

The over/under is truly a coin flip in this case, weather conditions are bad, and Caen miss two offensive midfielders.

I give a rested Metz more chance to win this game vs. unrested Caen who played last friday to a 1-1 draw.

Caen:
Hilario, Perquis, Leca, Heurtaux, Sorbonne, Inez, Seube, Proment I.N 'Diaye, Eluchans, Langil, Nivet, Van La Parra, Deroin, Yatabaré, El Arabi.

Metz:
Keepers: Marichez, Sissoko
Defenders: C. Gueye Mutsch Biancalani, Borbiconi, Vivian, Brégerie
Midfielders: Bessat, Cardy, Rocchi, Frechaut
Attackers: Mendy, Cisse, N'Diaye, Omotoyossi, Bourgeois
Suspended: Pied
Injured: Johansen (thigh)

Watch out for Omotoyossi, he has not played much due to injuries, but might start today!

Those are some very good stats for the over my friend, I think it hits and like you said, at worst a push!

Though I am predicting and believe the final score will be FC Metz 2-0. Gonna need help from Caen.

When you "lay" Caen, that means you are playing on them to NOT win, correct?

Therefore, if the game ends in a tie, or Metz win, you win your bet?

**BrianLaverty** · 12-21-09, 10:59 AM

im all over the draw... think its gonna be a 1-1 final

**Karayilan9** · 12-21-09, 11:17 AM

Forwards Traore, Livio ve Toudic and defenders Tafforeau and Barzola are out for Caen in this game, Metz has owned Caen at home over the years, Metz have value considering the situation but the game may not even get played, the snow may fall and its something like -10 out there.

**mats9863** · 12-21-09, 11:24 AM

Let me just say one thing first, this match reeks of a draw, especially seeing the lowered draw odds of +195.

If so, play Under and Home Win. If the draw line raises to 215-230 , then draw.
If lower than +195 Away Win.

**Ruifgalmeida** · 12-21-09, 11:29 AM

yes if metz or draw i win

, i still considered the under it is going to be a freezing game, metz have score a lot of goals at home but caen cant score so it is a plus for the under

**SRBI** · 12-21-09, 11:34 AM

Metz HW @ 2.0 for me. If they draw, oh well, but I doubt that will happen today.

Looks like EP was right on the o/u, over 2 has jumped to -130 from -120 at my book.

**mats9863** · 12-21-09, 01:16 PM

The Goal/No Goal line is the same ...so the books really don't see a bunch of goals imho.
Under all life long

**bluntsallday** · 12-21-09, 01:48 PM

soccer betting is ****ing confusing.... and for such a boring uneventful sport i guess it has to be =X

but i will be betting anyway... because its an addiction. good day!

Yeah, blunts, we were all just waiting for what you had to say. Thanks...

Never seen someone be that proud of being ignorant and having an "addiction"

You fail hard, my friend. Congratulations!

EDIT: You get 1 point for being a dumbass. Enjoy.

**gafl** · 12-21-09, 02:04 PM

Going with Metz -1/2. Have played well at home against Caen. Extra rest helps on a cold day and possibly wet field.

**SRBI** · 12-21-09, 02:09 PM

Yeah, looks like lines is favoring the under now as well. Metz and under it is!

**SRBI** · 12-21-09, 02:10 PM

The over/under line has dropped to 1.5/2 at certain Asian books...just FYI. Again, under is getting hammered...

**beefcake** · 12-21-09, 02:39 PM

Good luck today SRBI..Laying off myself..

**EaglesPhan36** · 12-21-09, 02:40 PM

I'll be on Fantasy Island by myself on the Over at -102. At least when the ship sinks, the price is niceR.

**bluntsallday** · 12-21-09, 02:43 PM

and u cant admit that soccer isnt boring to watch. get rid of offsides, and make the goals twice as big, and then maybe it'd be a solid sport to watch. but at this point i'd take watching golf over soccer any day.

soccer is the only sport in the world where games with ABSOLUTELY NO SCORING happen on a daily basis. nil-nil draw? fukin kill me please and give me my 90 minutes back.

that being said i am still betting it. because i love action.

took fc metz

**gafl** · 12-21-09, 02:45 PM

Just means the public is going under. Doesn't always mean they are right.

I see your point.

Though you really have to know and love the game to be able to watch those 90 mins of nothing, there is still something beautiful about it.

But thats probably just my heart talkin...been playing soccer since I began to walk.

If it wasn't for some of the negative things that have happend in my lifetime, I would be playing for the MLS right now.

I didn't say they were right, I was just stating a fact.

**bluntsallday** · 12-21-09, 02:50 PM

thank you for at least seein my point. i used to play soccer too ****ed up my knees, couple mcl tears and a meniscus tear.... its like a knee injury waiting to happen LOL

go FC metz!! lol

i'll watch the world cup and the euro all day... but those guys are just straight up sick at soccer. even if no one scores its ballin out of control... i'd say once every 2 years is plenty of soccer for me =]

and u can have ur point back ive never seen a soccer fan concede to me. u are a swell guy.

**gafl** · 12-21-09, 02:50 PM
