Sunday's Ligue 1 predictions including Lyon vs. Marseille

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


Monaco vs. Le Havre (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Adi Hutter's in-form, confident Monaco side welcome Le Havre to the Stade Louis II for a Ligue 1 clash on Sunday afternoon.

Monaco enter the fixture on the back of an excellent Champions League win over Barcelona in the week, marking their return to competition with three points after six years away.

We say: Monaco 2-0 Le Havre


Monaco have been exciting, full of exuberance and strong at the back in their opening five games of the season, and that should continue here even if Hutter opts to make one or two personnel changes.

Le Havre have made a promising start under Digard, but this Monaco side is loaded with plenty of quality and the stars would need to align for the visitors to take anything from their travels here.

Brest vs. Toulouse (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Brest return to domestic matters after a historic midweek win when they host Toulouse at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday.

On their Champions League debut on Thursday, Brest recorded a 2-1 win over Sturm Graz, sparking jubilant scenes despite playing in Guingamp, over an hour away from their home venue.

We say: Brest 1-2 Toulouse


Having given so much to get over the line in such an emotionally-charged encounter in the Champions League on Thursday, Brest may be slightly leggy against a much fresher Toulouse side who enter the game on the back of a good win last weekend.

An underwhelming start suggests Brest will not hit the same heights as last season, and another defeat here will have them awkwardly looking over their shoulder.

Angers vs. Nantes (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Relegation-favourites Angers welcome Nantes to the Stade Raymond-Kopa in Ligue 1 on Sunday evening.

Angers are one of two clubs still yet to taste victory after four games this season, while Nantes have emerged as possible European candidates following a fine start.

We say: Angers 0-2 Nantes


Despite a well-earned draw last weekend, Angers have not been able to prove they can compete with sides of higher quality in Ligue 1 yet this season.

Defeats to Nice, Lille and Lens suggest another could be in store against a Nantes side that have started off well and love playing away from home.

Montpellier vs. Auxerre (Sunday, 4.00pm)

On Sunday, Montpellier HSC, who sit bottom of the Ligue 1 table, will host 15th-placed Auxerre at the Stade de la Mosson in a clash between two teams currently struggling after four matches.

The hosts are yet to secure a win in the league, earning just one point, while the visitors have three points thanks to a single victory on the season's opening day.

We say: Montpellier HSC 1-1 Auxerre


Both sides have struggled in the early part of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season, and neither will want to extend their losing streak to four matches, which suggests this match may end in a cautious 1-1 draw.

Lyon vs. Marseille (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Lyon host Marseille in the first Derby des Olympiques of the season in Ligue 1 on Sunday night.

The visitors have made a strong start under Roberto De Zerbi, while Lyon are lingering down in the bottom half similarly to how they started last season.

We say: Lyon 1-2 Marseille


Form can often go out the window in such fiercely-fought derby matches, but the start Marseille have made means they are full value as favourites in this one.

Lyon's suspect defence matched against Marseille's prolific attack should give the visitors the edge, despite the fact they will be playing against a raucous atmosphere with no away fans in attendance.
