Ligue 1 stats and tips

Metz v Lille - Double Chance - away win or draw

Metz have consistently struggled against Lille in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two sides have met on 10 occasions since 2017, and Lille have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Stade Saint-Symphorien could be another hard one for S. Le Mignan & co.

Lens v Rennes - Double Chance - home win or draw

Rennes have consistently struggled against Lens in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two teams have played on 11 occasions since 2020, and Lens have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Stade Felix Bollaert-Delelis could be a tricky one for H. Beye & co.

Brest v Lorient - Double Chance - away win or draw

O. Pantaloni and his Lorient troops have found a convenient way of claiming something from just about every Ligue 1 game they play. They're unbeaten in 9 in Ligue 1 now, so E. Roy and his Stade Brestois 29 side will need to be on top of their game if they're going to get anything at Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday.

Nantes v Lyon - Win / Draw / Win - away win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's what's required of Nantes boss L. Ferreira de Castro on Saturday. His team faces Lyon having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Ligue 1 outings.

Nice v Monaco - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Allianz Riviera will be anticipating action at both ends on Sunday, and they're right to, if Nice's past record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 14 of their 20 Ligue 1 fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.

Auxerre v Paris FC - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday, as C. Pélissier and S. Gilli's sides clash. AJ Auxerre have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Ligue 1 so far this campaign - 13 out of 20 played. Both gaffers will just be hoping it isn't their team that flounders in front of goal.

Angers v Toulouse - 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 season. 14 of their side's encounters in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will C. Martínez Novell and his Toulouse team be capable of adding some goals into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?

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

It might not be a record they're especially enamoured with, 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 season, with their tally now at 5 in 20 games. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test against Strasbourg at Stade Oceane on Sunday, in a clash that could see yet another tie.

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

There's some serious momentum building behind Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks. They've beaten the opposition in 6 consecutive Ligue 1 outings, and L. Martínez García will be giving his utmost to continue that form as they go into battle with Marseille at Parc des Princes on Sunday evening.

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 opposition in Ligue 1 when it comes to matches where they've been drawing at both HT and FT this campaign, with their tally now at 5 in 20 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 stalemate.

Lorient v Angers - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Angers have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this campaign. 14 of their side's matches 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 spice into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?

Metz v Auxerre - Double Chance - away win or draw

Metz simply have not been able to find a way past AJ Auxerre in the league in recent years. The two clubs have met on 5 occasions since 2015, and AJ Auxerre have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Stade Saint-Symphorien could be a really difficult one for S. Le Mignan & co.

Lyon v Nice - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Groupama Stadium will be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and rightly so if Nice's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 14 of their 20 Ligue 1 matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
