Friday's Ligue 1 predictions including Lens vs. Lorient

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

With their spot amongst France's finest crop secured for a third straight season, Toulouse will welcome an in-form Montpellier HSC side to Stadium de Toulouse on Friday evening in Ligue 1.

Les Violets are targeting a last-gasp push towards possible European qualification, whilst La Paillade are just one more victory away from securing their safety at the top table of French football.

We say: Toulouse 1-1 Montpellier HSC


Considering their questionable form in front of their own supporters, home advantage is set to mean little for Toulouse as they welcome Montpellier to the Southern France.

Les Violets have meetings with PSG and third-placed Brest to round off the campaign, meaning that Friday's clash represents the final realistic opportunity to earn some points.

Lens vs. Lorient (Friday, 8.00pm)

A pair of Ligue 1 sides fighting for different things in the latter portion of the campaign will square off on Friday as Lens welcome Lorient to Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Les Sang et Or are seeking a place in Europe and are currently five points behind Nice following a 2-1 loss to Marseille, while Lorient are trying to climb above the relegation line, three points below that line after losing by that same score to Toulouse.

We say: Lens 2-0 Lorient


Neither side have been all that consistent of late, but Lorient have their share of glaring holes at the back when compared to Lens, and we believe the home side will be able to capitalise on that.
