France Ligue 1 Betting Predictions, Tips and Odds

Ligue 1 stats and tips

Troyes v Le Havre - Win / Draw / Win - home win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Le Havre boss V. Ismaël on Friday. His side face Troyes having lost each of their last 6 Ligue 1 outings.

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

There's some serious momentum building behind Paris Saint-Germain at the moment. They've won 7 consecutive Ligue 1 games, and L. Martínez García will be desperate to maintain that winning streak as they come up against Nice at Allianz Riviera on Saturday afternoon.

Lens v Toulouse - Both Teams To Score & Result - home

Toulouse will know that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to come out on top against Lens on Saturday evening. D. Digard's men have the best record in Ligue 1 when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (4 of their 10 outings), so focusing on defence might be the only viable route for J. Askou and his Toulouse team at Stade Felix Bollaert-Delelis.

Lille v Lyon - Double Chance - home win or draw

Happy days! It has now been a long while since Lille’s joyous supporters watched their team lose in Ligue 1. Davide Ancelotti’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 outings, and he'll be full of belief that they can extend that run against Lyon at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday evening. Top odds of 1.36 can be grabbed to back Lille to either win or draw.

Monaco v Auxerre - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be hard going, and Monaco’s long-suffering follows know that better than most at the moment. Their club, led by F. Kasmirski, is now winless in their previous 5 Ligue 1 matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against AJ Auxerre at Stade Louis II on Saturday evening. Backing opposition manager W. Still to add another to that list by inspiring his lads to anything other than a defeat can be bet on at top odds of 2.75.

Strasbourg v Brest - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Strasbourg's recent Ligue 1 games have been full of goalmouth action. All of their last 6 have had over 2.5 goals, and Saturday against Stade Brestois 29 could well be more of the same. Neutrals will be hoping that H. Carvalho Oliveira and J. Lachuer send their lads out to attack.

Paris FC v Angers - Double Chance - home win or draw

It has been a miserable succession of results for Angers and their faithful followers, with their last Ligue 1 win now coming 5 games ago. Boss S. Gilli has to find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Paris FC at Stade Jean Bouin on Sunday come too soon, or be a turning point?

Lorient v Rennes - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Lorient have enjoyed meeting Rennes in the Ligue 1 of late, with a run of 6 straight wins against them. F. Haise will be desperate to stop the rot, while A. Dujeux will be expecting more of the same on Sunday afternoon.

Marseille v Le Mans - Win / Draw / Win - home win

It's all eyes on Marseille in recent weeks. They've won 5 consecutive Ligue 1 games, and B. Génésio will be going all out to keep that run going as they come up against Le Mans at Stade Vélodrome on Sunday evening.

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

J. Lachuer won't be relishing facing Paris FC in Ligue 1 on Friday. L. Rosenior's side have been ahead at halftime and gone on to secure the win at FT more frequently than any other side in the Ligue 1 this season - 5 times in total. That record suggests it may be a difficult evening for Stade Brestois 29, and that backing Paris FC in the HT FT market could be a smart move at odds of 3.60.

Angers v Lens - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Lens have enjoyed success against Angers in the Ligue 1 recently, with their streak now extending to 7 straight wins against them. S. Gilli will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while D. Digard will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday afternoon.

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

Le Havre will be looking to avoid adding to the 7 matches they have already been behind in at both HT and FT this season when they square off against Strasbourg on Saturday. V. Ismaël's players already lead the rest of Ligue 1 in that category, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss H. Carvalho Oliveira , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Le Mans v Lille - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Lille have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 7 of their side's fixtures in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will P. Videira and his Le Mans side be able to inject goalmouth action into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

PSG v Lorient - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at Parc des Princes on Saturday, as A. Dujeux and L. Martínez García's teams meet. Lorient have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Ligue 1 so far this season - 7 out of 10 played. Both gaffers will just be praying it isn't their team that fails to register.

Auxerre v Marseille - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps may be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and with good reason if AJ Auxerre's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 8 of their 10 Ligue 1 matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Toulouse v Rennes - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Sunday afternoon, then the clash between Rennes and Toulouse could be worth checking out. F. Haise's team lead Ligue 1 in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 9 of their Ligue 1 games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from J. Askou's men could ruin the spectacle.
