Brest v Lorient - Double Chance - away win or draw

Happy days! It has now been a long while since Lorient’s joyous followers watched their lads lose in Ligue 1. O. Pantaloni’s men are now unbeaten in 9 outings, and he'll be full of belief that they can extend that run against Stade Brestois 29 at Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday evening. Best value odds of 1.67 can be taken advantage of to back Lorient to get the win or the draw.

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

Rodrigues Fonseca and his Lyon team visit La Beaujoire-Louis-Fonteneau on Saturday night. 15 of those bettors are betting that L. Ferreira de Castro's Nantes will have to endure defeat in their own ground. It's a big shout, but the crowd has spoken.

Nice v Monaco - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Allianz Riviera will be fully expecting goals galore on Sunday, and rightly so if Nice's past record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 14 of their 20 Ligue 1 matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Auxerre v Paris FC - Both Teams To Score - no

If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday, as C. Pélissier and S. Gilli's teams meet. AJ Auxerre have had the highest number of games where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Ligue 1 so far this term - 13 out of 20 played. Both managers 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 entirely dull, but fans of Angers have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 14 of their side's fixtures 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 may not be a record they're especially enamoured with, but Le Havre currently lead all opponents in Ligue 1 when it comes to fixtures drawn at both the break and the final whistle this campaign, with their tally now at 5 in 20 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test versus Strasbourg at Stade Oceane on Sunday, in a clash that could see yet another stalemate.

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

There's some serious momentum building behind Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks. They've won 6 consecutive Ligue 1 outings, and L. Martínez García will be giving his utmost to keep that run going as they come up against 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 particularly enamoured with, but Le Havre currently lead all opposition in Ligue 1 when it comes to games drawn at both the break and the final whistle this campaign, with their tally now at 5 in 20 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test against Toulouse at Stade Oceane on Sunday, in a match that could see yet another tie.

Lorient v Angers - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Angers have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 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 capable of adding some goalmouth action into this encounter 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 teams have played on 5 occasions since 2015, and AJ Auxerre have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Stade Saint-Symphorien could be another hard one for S. Le Mignan & co.

Lyon v Nice - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Groupama Stadium will be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and they're right to, if Nice's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 14 of their 20 Ligue 1 fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
