Paris Saint-Germain remain the team to beat in the French Ligue One but we believe a few teams can spring surprises.
Paul Pogba is back at Monaco, so we expect them to challenge for the league, but their main priority will be to be in the Champions League. What about the relegation battle and battling for other European slots? We will bring you weekly predictions on games in the French top-flight football.
Ligue 1 Round 29 Predictions
Fri, April 10
Paris FC VS Monaco
Paris FC sit 13th in Ligue 1 with 32 points, while Monaco are 5th with 49 points, showing a clear gap in overall performance and consistency in the 2025/26 season. Although Paris FC won the last H2H 1-0 in November 2025, Monaco’s recent 2026 form is far superior compared to Paris FC’s multiple draws, making Monaco the likely game winner.
- Monaco Wins
- Under 3.5 Goals
- BTTS Yes
Sat, April 11
Olympique Marseille VS Metz
Olympique Marseille is 4th in Ligue 1 with 49 points, while Metz sits in 18th position in the relegation zone with just 15 points, showing a major gap in performance this 2025/26 season. In recent H2H, Marseille dominated Metz 3-0 away in October 2025 and has remained unbeaten in this matchup for years. With stronger results against top teams and Metz struggling with multiple losses in 2026, Marseille’s superior position and form strongly support a home win.
- Marseille Wins
- Correct Score: 2 – 0
- BTTS No
Auxerre VS Nantes
Auxerre are 16th with 23 points, in the relegation play-off zone, slightly ahead of Nantes in 17th with 18 points, in the relegation zone, showing a small but important edge in the 2025/26 Ligue 1 standings. Recent H2H is tight (Nantes won 1-0 in August 2025, drew 1-1 earlier in 2025), but Auxerre’s 2026 form is better, including their 3-0 vs Brest and remaining unbeaten in the last 5 games, compared to Nantes’ multiple losses. With slightly stronger momentum and home advantage, Auxerre is favored.
- Auxerre Wins
- Under 3.5
- BTTS No
Rennes VS Angers
In recent H2H meetings between the two sides, Rennes dominated, with a 3-0 win in March 2025 and 1-1 in August 2025, and lead overall with 17 wins vs 3 wins. Rennes also have 4 wins in their last 6 games, while Angers struggle away, making a home win highly likely.

Lens VS PSG
PSG are 1st in Ligue 1 with 63 points, while Lens follow in the league at 2nd positon with 59, showing both teams are strong, but PSG still lead the title race in the 2025/26 season. Recent games between the two sides clearly favor PSG, winning 2-0 in Sept 2025 and 2-1 in Jan 2025, extending a dominant run with multiple consecutive victories.
- PSG Wins
- Over 2.5
- HT/FT 2/2
Brest VS Strasbourg
Brest and Strasbourg are separated by just one position in the 2025/26 Ligue 1 standings, currently standing at 8th and 9th, respectively, showing very balanced overall performance. Recently, their games have also supported parity, with Brest winning 2-1 in November 2025 but a 0-0 draw in April 2026, and historically, 7 draws in 20 meetings. With Brest unbeaten in recent 2026 matches and Strasbourg drawing multiple games, both teams’ similar form and standings strongly point to a draw.
- Draw
- Over 3.5 Goals
- Correct Score:2 – 2
Toulouse VS Lille
Recent H2H meetings between Toulouse and Lille have been competitive, including Lille’s 2-1 win in 2025 and several draws. Meanwhile, Toulouse has improved at home despite inconsistent 2026 results. Lille’s better ranking is balanced by Toulouse’s resilience, making a draw the most likely outcome.
- Under 2.5 Goals
- Draw
- BTTS Yes
Nice VS Le Havre
In recent games, Le Havre have played better, including a 3-1 win in December 2025, while Nice have struggled in 2026 with inconsistent results and dropped points. Despite the standings difference, Le Havre’s recent head-to-head edge and Nice’s poor form suggest a surprise away win.
- Under 2.5 Goals
- Le Havre Wins
- BTTS Yes
Lyon VS Lorient
Recent H2H meetings between the two teams have remained balanced and include a 1-1 draw in September 2025 and a Lorient 2-1 win earlier in 2025, and both teams have inconsistent 2026 form with mixed results. With Lyon struggling for consistency despite their higher position and Lorient capable of competing evenly, their similar recent performances suggest a draw is likely.
- Draw
- Under 3.5 Goals
- Correct Score: 1 – 1
