Ligue 1 stats and tips
Nice v Reims - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Just as fans always have done, Nice's adoring followers have come to expect a lot from their side and, in the opinion of KickOff's users, they may just have them met on Friday evening. 19 of these users are betting that Franck Haise's side will emerge victorious as K. Diawara's Reims visit Allianz Riviera. Here's hoping they're proved right!
Strasbourg v PSG - Double Chance - home win or draw
L. Rosenior and his Strasbourg side have gained a useful habit of taking something from just about every Ligue 1 game they play. They're unbeaten in 11 in Ligue 1 now, so L. Martínez García and his Paris Saint-Germain charges will have their work cut out if they're to stand any chance at Stade de la Meinau on Saturday.
Toulouse v Rennes - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over
0-0s have been a highly uncommon occurrence in Rennes's Ligue 1 outings recently. Their last 49 have had over 0.5 goals, and Saturday evening's meeting with C. Martínez Novell's Toulouse really should be a similar story.
St Etienne v Monaco - Double Chance - away win or draw
St Etienne have consistently struggled against Monaco in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two sides have met on 5 occasions since 2020, and Monaco have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard could be a tricky one for Eric Orie & co.
Nantes v Angers - Double Chance - home win or draw
Angers have consistently struggled against Nantes in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two clubs have met on 7 occasions since 2020, and Nantes have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at La Beaujoire-Louis-Fonteneau could be another hard one for A. Dujeux & co.
Auxerre v Le Havre - Both Teams To Score - yes
When AJ Auxerre and Le Havre have met in the league, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps faithful will be expecting another classic on Sunday afternoon.
Lyon v Lens - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A home win may seem like an obvious choice here, but KO's notoriously astute users clearly believe it to be the best bet as Lyon and Lens clash in Ligue 1 on Sunday. No fewer than 9 have already gone for it, with highest odds of 1.60 enough to make them believe they can turn a profit.

Auxerre v Nantes - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps is the backdrop as Nantes and AJ Auxerre meet on Saturday night, in what could prove to be a real crowd-pleaser.

Angers v Strasbourg - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Angers have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 21 of their side's fixtures in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will L. Rosenior and his Strasbourg side be able to inject spice into this match on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Le Havre v Marseille - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Le Havre and Marseille could warrant a closer look. D. Digard's side have lost 10 games this season in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in Ligue 1.
Montpellier v PSG - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Paris Saint-Germain have enjoyed meeting Montpellier in the Ligue 1 of late, with their streak now extending to 11 straight wins against them. Rolf Landerl will be desperate to stop the rot, while L. Martínez García will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday night.
Reims v St Etienne - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters travelling to Stade Auguste-Delaune this Saturday to watch Reims and St Etienne might already be concerned about a long night, and who could blame them? K. Diawara's players have played their part in 4 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, the most of any team in Ligue 1. Will anyone find the net? You can bet against it at top odds of 13.00.
Brest v Lille - Double Chance - away win or draw
Stade Brestois 29 have consistently struggled against Lille in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and Lille have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Stade Francis-Le Ble could be a tricky one for E. Roy & co.
Toulouse v Lens - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at Stadium Municipal, Toulouse on Saturday, as Franck Haise and C. Martínez Novell's sides clash. Lens have had the highest number of games where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Ligue 1 so far this season - 20 out of 31 played. Both bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their them that draws a blank.
