France Ligue 1 Betting Predictions, Tips and Odds

Ligue 1 stats and tips

Lens v Le Havre - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Friday evening, then the clash between Lens and Le Havre could be worth checking out. P. Sage's team lead Ligue 1 in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 12 of their Ligue 1 games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from D. Digard's men could keep the score down.

Paris FC v Marseille - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over

Bore-draws have been an incredibly rare occurrence in Marseille's Ligue 1 outings recently. Their last 77 have had over 0.5 goals, and Saturday afternoon's clash with S. Gilli's Paris FC really should be a similar story.

Lorient v Nantes - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Stade du Moustoir is the backdrop as Lorient and Nantes meet on Saturday evening, in what could prove to be a tight affair. O. Pantaloni's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any team in the competition - 6 in 19 matches. An extension of that record has best odds of 4.60.

Monaco v Rennes - Double Chance - away win or draw

It has been a miserable run of results for Monaco and their faithful followers, with their last Ligue 1 success now coming 5 games ago. Boss S. Pocognoli has to find a way out, and quickly. Will Rennes at Stade Louis II on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?

Lyon v Lille - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over

Lille have been Ligue 1's entertainers this campaign, at least in when it comes to producing goal-filled fixtures. No other side can boast more than their record of having taken part in 5 games with at least 6 goals scored this campaign. Can they make it 6 when they play Lyon on Sunday afternoon? With odds of 11.00 on offer, it could be one to watch.

Angers v Metz - 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. 13 of their side's fixtures in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will S. Le Mignan and his Metz team be able to inject spice into this clash on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?

Nice v Brest - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Allianz Riviera will be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and rightly so if Nice's past record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 13 of their 19 Ligue 1 matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Toulouse v Auxerre - Win / Draw / Win - home win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing AJ Auxerre boss C. Pélissier on Sunday. His team faces Toulouse having lost each of their last 4 Ligue 1 matches.

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

It's all eyes on Paris Saint-Germain at the moment. They've won 5 consecutive Ligue 1 matches, and L. Martínez García will be desperate to continue that form as they go into battle with Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau on Sunday evening.

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 played on 10 occasions since 2017, and Lille have gone unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Stade Saint-Symphorien could be a tricky one for S. Le Mignan & co.

Lens v Rennes - Double Chance - home win or draw

Rennes have found something of a bogey team in Lens in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 11 occasions since 2020, and Lens have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Stade Felix Bollaert-Delelis could be another hard one for H. Beye & co.

Brest v Lorient - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Stade Francis-Le Ble is the venue as Lorient and Stade Brestois 29 clash on Saturday evening, in what might just be a tight affair. O. Pantaloni's side have the most score draws of any team in the division - 6 in 19 outings. An extension of that record is available at 4.50.

Nantes v Lyon - Double Chance - away win or draw

Nantes have consistently struggled against Lyon in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 11 occasions since 2020, and Lyon have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at La Beaujoire-Louis-Fonteneau could be a really difficult one for L. Ferreira de Castro & co.

Nice v Monaco - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Allianz Riviera will be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and they're right to, if Nice's past record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 13 of their 19 Ligue 1 matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Auxerre v Paris FC - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

AJ Auxerre will be hoping not to add to the 8 matches they have already lost at both the break and the final whistle this campaign when they face Paris FC on Sunday. C. Pélissier's side already lead the rest of Ligue 1 in that category, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss S. Gilli , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Angers v Toulouse - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Angers have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 13 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 spice into this encounter on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?

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

It might not be an honour they're particularly proud of, but Le Havre currently lead all opposition in Ligue 1 when it comes to games in which they have been level at both halftime and fulltime this season, with their tally now at 5 in 19 outings. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Strasbourg at Stade Oceane on Sunday, in a game that could see yet another dead heat.

PSG v Marseille - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

R. De Zerbi won't be looking forward to facing Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 on Sunday. L. Martínez García's side have been ahead at halftime and gone on to secure the win at fulltime more often than any other club in the Ligue 1 this term - 10 times in total. That record suggests there's every chance of it being a demoralising evening for Marseille, and that backing Paris Saint-Germain in the halftime fulltime market could be a smart move at odds of 2.10.
