Sunday's Ligue 1 predictions including Monaco vs. PSG

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Ligue 1 fixtures, including Monaco vs. PSG.


Monaco vs. PSG (Sunday, 12.00pm)

With both sides now only focusing on their Ligue 1 prospects for the remainder of the season, Monaco welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Stade Louis II for Sunday's lunchtime clash.

The hosts bowed out of the Europa League to Braga in midweek, while Mauricio Pochettino's side eased past Bordeaux 3-0 last weekend.

We say: Monaco 0-2 Paris Saint-Germain


Battling fatigue, low confidence levels and a dismal streak of form, Monaco need perfect performances from their entire first XI to come away with something here, but their respectable home record can give fans a slight sense of optimism.

However, a near full-strength PSG are refreshed and seeking to wrap up the Ligue 1 title as quickly as possible, and Pochettino can pile more pressure onto the shoulders of Clement with a routine victory at the Stade Louis II.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Angers vs. Brest (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Angers will be hosting Brest on Sunday as they look to end their seven-match run without a victory as they aim to close the gap between themselves and their opponents.

The visitors head into this place just one place ahead in the table, but they will be looking forward, with the idea of climbing towards the top half.

We say: Angers 0-2 Brest


There might not be much between these two teams in the league table, Brest come into this game in better form than their opponents, and they should be able to secure the victory here.

It could be a routine game for them due to the poor manner in which the hosts have been playing recently, which has left them in a difficult position with a threat of relegation.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Bordeaux vs. Montpellier (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Bordeaux will be continuing their fight against relegation this Sunday, hoping to end their six-match run without a victory when they host Montpellier HSC.

The visitors have the opportunity to move into the top half of Ligue 1 with a victory at the weekend, potentially being able to climb up to eighth place.

We say: Bordeaux 0-1 Montpellier HSC


Neither team is in good form heading into this match, which is something that they will need to work on in order to improve for the run in during this season.

Bordeaux shall be seeking out three points in order to try and stay in the top flight, but Montpellier do have the stronger squad, and should be able to just edge this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Lorient vs. Strasbourg (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Two teams at opposing ends of the Ligue 1 table collide on Sunday, as Lorient are involved in the relegation fight this season, while Strasbourg are hoping to finish in a European place.

Despite the fact that they are having vastly different campaigns, they both head into this game on the back of a victory last weekend, providing confidence to each squad.

We say: Lorient 1-3 Strasbourg


Lorient have been performing well recently, and the squad will believe that they can continue that run this weekend, but they face tough competition on Sunday.

Strasbourg are in fantastic form, and with the possibility of climbing into a Champions League position ahead of them, it is unlikely that they will slip up here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rennes vs. Metz (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Rennes will be looking to bounce back from their Europa Conference League exit when they return to Ligue 1 action against Metz at Roazhon Park on Sunday.

The hosts remain well in the mix for a Champions League place following their sensational domestic form, whilst the visitors continue to struggle for goals and points in their quest to avoid relegation.

We say: Rennes 3-0 Metz


Despite playing just three days prior to this encounter, Rennes should record a comfortable victory against their struggling visitors here.

It is difficult to stake a claim for Metz even finding the back of the net due to their recent struggles and the calibre of their opposition on Sunday, and Rennes should return to winning ways to continue their push for a Champions League spot.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Reims vs. Lyon (Sunday, 4.05pm)

Seeking to make it five games unbeaten in Ligue 1, Reims welcome Lyon to the Stade Auguste-Delaune for Sunday's top-flight battle.

The hosts ran out 1-0 winners over Angers in last weekend's clash, while Les Gones recently eliminated Porto from the Europa League.

We say: Reims 1-2 Lyon


An increasingly resilient Reims should sense an opportunity to keep their unbeaten run going given their extended period of rest, but an inexperienced side may fall just short here.

A new wave of confidence should overcome this stop-start Lyon side after dumping Porto out of Europe, with an extensive list of attacking options more than capable of breaching Garcia's defence on more than one occasion.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Marseille vs. Nice (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Second meets third in Sunday's Ligue 1 encounter as best-of-the-rest contenders Marseille and Nice prepare for battle at the Orange Velodrome.

Les Olympiens head into the game having just booked their spot in the last eight of the Europa Conference League, while Les Aiglons were shut out by Montpellier HSC last weekend.

We say: Marseille 1-1 Nice


Nice's XI now has an even more youthful look about it with Dante absent, but every member of Galtier's backline has played their part in conceding a league-low 21 goals this term - only seven of which have come on the road.

However, a well-rested Payet will have a glint in his eyes against the Aiglons prospects, but with Sampaoli's side battling European fatigue and a long journey home, we have faith in Nice to finally find the back of the net away from home and take a point back to base as the two sides remain neck-and-neck in the standings.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
