Today’s Ligue 1 betting tips & predictions
Auxerre vs. Paris FC (6pm)
Auxerre enter this fixture down in 14th place on 10 points, reeling from a heavy 5-1 thrashing away at Strasbourg last weekend. Despite showing glimpses of promise from time to time, Auxerre possess the league’s worst defensive record with 23 goals conceded so far.
Paris FC arrive as the league's standout surprise package, sitting fourth on 17 points after an impressive 3-1 home triumph over Monaco. But while they have been sensational at home, their away performances have been quite the opposite, with one win in four attempts.
Based on that and the fact that Auxerre possess some firepower, I believe that we can look for goals in this fixture.

PSG vs. Troyes (8:05pm)
Following a slower start than usual, new league leaders and defending champions PSG have not won 10 matches in a row in all competitions.
Troyes remain deep in the trenches, despite securing a morale-boosting win overr fellow strugglers Le Mans last week. Troyes have struggled badly for punch on their travels, scoring in only one of their four trips so far.
Right now, it feels like PSG can do no wrong, and I believe a -2.0 asian hendicap is a very possible outcome, although Luis Enrique may opt to rest some of his usual starters.
