France Ligue 1 Betting Predictions, Tips and Odds

Ligue 1 stats and tips

Rennes v PSG - Win / Draw / Win - away win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's exactly what must be done by Rennes boss H. Beye on Friday. His side face Paris Saint-Germain having lost each of their last 3 Ligue 1 matches.

Monaco v Nantes - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of Nantes boss L. Ferreira de Castro on Friday. His players face Monaco having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 Ligue 1 games.

Lille v Brest - Double Chance - away win or draw

Being a football fan can be hard going, and Lille’s long-suffering follows know that only too well at the moment. Their club, led by B. Génésio, has not won any of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Stade Brestois 29 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday evening. Backing opposition gaffer E. Roy to add another to that list by inspiring his lads to anything other than a defeat can be backed at top odds of 2.05.

Paris FC v Lens - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday night, then the clash between Lens and Paris FC could be the one for you. P. Sage's team lead Ligue 1 in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 13 of their Ligue 1 games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from S. Gilli's men could ruin the spectacle.

Le Havre v Toulouse - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It may not be an honour they're especially enamoured with, but Le Havre currently lead all other teams in Ligue 1 when it comes to fixtures where they've been drawing at both the break and the final whistle this term, with their tally now at 5 in 21 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test versus Toulouse at Stade Oceane on Sunday, in a fixture that could see yet another dead heat.

Lorient v Angers - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Angers have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 14 of their side's games in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will O. Pantaloni and his Lorient side be able to inject goalmouth action into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Metz v Auxerre - Double Chance - away win or draw

It has been a dreadful succession of results for Metz and their faithful followers, with their last Ligue 1 victory now coming 9 games ago. Boss S. Le Mignan simply must find a remedy, and quickly. Will AJ Auxerre at Stade Saint-Symphorien on Sunday provide some relief?

Lyon v Nice - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Few will have missed the impressive form of Lyon in recent weeks. They've beaten the opposition in 6 consecutive Ligue 1 games, and P. Rodrigues Fonseca will be going all out to maintain that winning streak as they go into battle with Nice at Groupama Stadium on Sunday evening.

Lens v Monaco - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Lens and Monaco could be the one for you. P. Sage's team lead Ligue 1 in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 13 of their Ligue 1 games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from S. Pocognoli's men could prevent more of the same.

PSG v Metz - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Paris Saint-Germain have enjoyed meeting Metz in the Ligue 1 recently, putting together a run of 14 straight wins against them. S. Le Mignan will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while L. Martínez García will be hopeful of more of the same on Saturday night.

Auxerre v Rennes - Both Teams To Score - no

Going on form alone, we can back at least one set of players to earn a clean sheet at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday, as C. Pélissier and H. Beye's teams meet. AJ Auxerre have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Ligue 1 so far this season - 13 out of 21 played. Both bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their side that fails to register.

Angers v Lille - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Angers have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 14 of their side's games in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will B. Génésio and his Lille side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Nantes v Le Havre - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It may not be a record they're particularly proud of, but Le Havre currently lead all other teams in Ligue 1 when it comes to fixtures drawn at both the break and the final whistle this term, with their tally now at 5 in 21 matches. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test against Nantes at La Beaujoire-Louis-Fonteneau on Sunday, in a game that could see yet another stalemate.

Nice v Lorient - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Allianz Riviera may be anticipating goals galore on Sunday, and they're right to, if Nice's past record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 14 of their 21 Ligue 1 matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
