Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Rennes vs. Saint-Etienne

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Ligue 1 fixtures, including Rennes vs. Saint-Etienne.


Lens vs. Nantes (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Lens are still in with a chance of snatching a top-five finish in Ligue 1 this season, currently sitting seventh and just three points behind fifth-placed Nice with four games remaining.

Nantes visit the Stade Bollaert-Delelis this Saturday, looking to climb two places in the table and three points for the visitors could bring them to within one points of Lens.

We say: Lens 2-1 Nantes


Both sides are in similar form, with Lens showing to be slightly stronger in recent weeks, which is why they should be able to edge their visitors to three points this weekend, especially being on home soil.

Lens will take confidence from their four-game unbeaten run, while Nantes were lifted by their 5-3 win last time out, which suggests that both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Rennes vs. St Etienne (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Two teams at contrasting ends of the Ligue 1 table meet at Roazhon Park on Saturday, when third-placed Rennes host 18th-placed Saint-Etienne, who are just two points away from safety.

Rennes are currently six points behind second spot while they risk falling out of the top five as they are only three points above Strasbourg in sixth, meaning that they have to finish the season strongly to secure their Champions League qualification place.

We say: Rennes 2-0 Saint-Etienne


After a solid 5-0 win last time out, Rennes are expected to follow that up with another victory against a side in the bottom half of the table and low on confidence.

Their contrasting league positions make the hosts strong favourites for this tie, and Saint-Etienne are certain to be in for a tough test this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
