Monaco-Metz is a match valid for the first knockout round of the French Cup. Both clubs meets just three days after the Ligue I match where visitors where overhelmed 4:0 from Monaco.It is a really good moment of form for them, who took advantage of the direct clash between Psg and Lille to nibble three more points from the Parisian favorites, without losing ground versus Christophe Galtier's men, who flew to the top alone at 66 points thanks to the success on PSG. The fight for the title of French champion, unlike the last few seasons, is absolutely open and exciting.Manager Kovac will rely in minor changes as the triumph in the Cup is obligation for a club like Monaco.This trophy is missing from year 1990 and its almost won by PSG.Squad called-up is very competitive and only big absence is first goalie.

Metz is overall in a positive year. Before some months there were also chances for Europa League but everything is vanished after double-loss versus Monaco and Rennes.However in the cup, Frederic Antonetti's team will do their utmost not to repeat the disappointing performance of the three days ago.

Monaco

Injuries/Suspensions: Lecomte (21/0 g), Geubbels (13/1 f), Diop (30/7 m), Aguilar (27/1 d).

Prediction:

Given on many changes for both clubs it should be a very different from the Ligue I match.

Metz +1.5

摩纳哥-梅斯（Monaco-Metz）是法国杯首轮淘汰赛的比赛。两家俱乐部仅在联赛结束后三天就要出战，摩纳哥以4：0大胜梅斯，这对他们来说是一个非常不错的时刻，他们利用巴黎和之间的直接对话，缩小了和巴黎的差距，与克里斯托弗·加尔蒂埃（Christophe Galtier）的球队在战胜了巴黎后，以66分的积分排在了榜首。与过去几个赛季不同，争夺冠军头衔的绝对是开放而且现实的。科瓦奇的阵容应该不会有太大的变化，因为杯赛的胜利对摩纳哥这样的俱乐部来说是必须的.​​1990年之后它几乎都被PSG获得。球队本场的阵容非常有竞争力，除了第一门将外没有新的缺席。

梅斯今年的表现非常积极。在几个月之前，甚至还有机会争夺欧战资格，但在与摩纳哥和雷恩的失利之后，希望破灭了。弗雷德里克·安东内蒂（Frederic Antonetti）的球队将竭尽所能，不要再重复三天前令人失望的表现。

由于杯赛两队的阵容会变化，本场应该不会和联赛中一样有那么大的差距。

梅斯+1.5
