  • What matters most: first goal and territory advantage.
  • Why it stays tight: low-margin away resistance from Metz.

Expected match script

  • Marseille’s edge: repeatable win route through sustained possession.
  • Metz threat: transitions and isolated moments.
  • Battle focus: central space control and set-piece swing.

What can swing the game
