Ligue 1 stats and tips
Monaco v Brest - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in Adi Hutter and his chances of delivering victory for Monaco on Friday evening. 5 have bet on him to inspire his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Stade Brestois 29. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?
PSG v Toulouse - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Expect entertainment, excitement and plenty of goalmouth action when Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse clash on Friday night in Ligue 1. L. Martínez García and C. Martínez Novell's teams are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KickOff's hive of tipsters are backing them to show that at Parc des Princes. 6 of them are tipping the fixture to deliver over 2.5 goals during the 90 mins. 1.44 is the highest price among the UK's top bookmakers for their tip, and we can think of much worse places to put your money!
Lens v Marseille - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Lens have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 9 of their side's fixtures in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Roberto De Zerbi and his Marseille side be capable of adding some goals into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
St Etienne v Montpellier - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Montpellier will be looking to avoid adding to the 6 games they have already been losing at both HT and FT this season when they square off against St Etienne on Saturday. Michel Der Zakarian's team already lead the rest of Ligue 1 in that department, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss Oliver Dall'Oglio , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Reims v Lyon - Double Chance - away win or draw
P. Sage and his Lyon side have found a useful way of taking something from almost every Ligue 1 fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in Ligue 1 now, so Luka Elsner and his Reims charges will need to be on top of their game if they're going to get anything at Stade Auguste-Delaune on Saturday.
Lille v Rennes - Win / Draw / Win - home win
There is more support for the home win than any other bet, as Lille and Rennes clash in Ligue 1 on Sunday. No fewer than 17 have saved that bet on the site, with best odds of 1.91 proving to be enticing enough for many.
Auxerre v Angers - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Sunday afternoon, then the clash between AJ Auxerre and Angers could be one to watch. Christophe Pelissier's team lead Ligue 1 in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 10 of their Ligue 1 games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from A. Dujeux's men could keep the score down.
Nantes v Le Havre - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Nantes boss Antoine Kombouare on Sunday. His team faces Le Havre having been beaten in each of their last 3 Ligue 1 games.
Nice v Strasbourg - Double Chance - home win or draw
Franck Haise and his Nice team have found a useful way of claiming something from pretty much every Ligue 1 match they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in Ligue 1 now, so L. Rosenior and his Strasbourg side will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Allianz Riviera on Sunday.
Reims v Lens - Double Chance - away win or draw
Reims have consistently struggled against Lens in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 8 occasions since 2020, and Lens have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Stade Auguste-Delaune could be another hard one for Luka Elsner & co.
Brest v Strasbourg - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Stade Francis-Le Ble will be anticipating action at both ends on Saturday, and with good reason if Strasbourg's recent record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 9 of their 11 Ligue 1 matches this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
PSG v Nantes - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Antoine Kombouare won't be relishing going up against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 on Saturday. L. Martínez García's side have led at the break and gone on to win at final whistle in more games than any other team in the Ligue 1 this season - 8 times in total. That stat suggests it may be a difficult night for Nantes, and that backing Paris Saint-Germain in the halftime fulltime market would be a smart move at odds of 1.67.
Montpellier v Lille - Double Chance - away win or draw
Montpellier have consistently struggled against Lille in the Ligue 1 in recent years. The two clubs have met on 12 occasions since 2018, and Lille have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Stade de la Mosson could be a tricky one for Michel Der Zakarian & co.
Le Havre v Angers - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Stade Oceane is the venue as Angers and Le Havre clash on Sunday afternoon, in what could prove to be a proper ding-dong battle. A. Dujeux's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any club in the division - 4 in 11 outings. An extension of that record is available at 4.75.
Toulouse v Auxerre - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you fancy a thriller on Sunday afternoon, then the clash between AJ Auxerre and Toulouse could be worth checking out. Christophe Pelissier's team lead Ligue 1 in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 10 of their Ligue 1 games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from C. Martínez Novell's men could ruin the spectacle.
