Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including PSG vs. Lens

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

Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain welcome Lens to the French capital on Saturday evening as they seek to maintain their three-point buffer at the summit.

Luis Enrique's side have taken advantage of Monaco's recent slip to move clear at the top and will now face the other side that saw their unbeaten start ended last weekend.

We say: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Lens


PSG's incapability of keeping a clean sheet at home will give Lens belief that they have a chance, but the scoring record of the league leaders speaks for itself so far, having netted three or more in all of their home games.

Despite Lens' excellent defensive record, facing the champions is like no other test in Ligue 1, and manager Still will need to hope his attackers are firing if they are to take anything here.

Brest vs. Nice (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Champions League gatecrashers Brest continue their pursuit for European qualification once again when they host Nice in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Neutrals tuning into this one will be hoping for an improvement on the two matches these sides served up last season, as it was the only fixture in the French top flight which ended 0-0 at both venues.

We say: Brest 1-1 Nice


After two forgettable stalemates last season, this encounter should provide slightly more entertainment, with Brest in supreme form and Nice playing eye-catching football under Haise.

Being on level on points makes them hard to separate though, and the hosts may have one eye on an enticing trip to Prague in midweek, while Nice will also want to improve their European results.

St Etienne vs. Strasbourg (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Struggling Saint-Etienne will look to capitalise on home advantage when they welcome Strasbourg to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

The vast majority of ASSE's points have come on home soil this season, while Strasbourg have been very poor on the road, despite an excellent start.

We say: Saint-Etienne 2-2 Strasbourg


Saint-Etienne's decent home form paired with Strasbourg's woeful away record suggests the struggling hosts could take something from this encounter.

Strasbourg have become accustomed to high-scoring fixtures so far, and with Les Verts' defensive woes added into the mix, goals at both ends are on the cards here.
