The Ligue 1 action will be in full swing on Sunday, with five matches and teams from all areas of the table.

Continue reading below for our expert tips and predictions for all five Ligue 1 fixtures on Sunday.
Today’s Ligue 1 betting tips & predictions
Paris FC vs. Nice (2pm)
Paris FC have changed their manager and will be looking for salvation against Nice, who are just one point above them.
The first match between the two teams in September ended 1-1 after Paris managed to equalize in the 88th minute. We may see a similar result in this match, although betting on a winner will be quite a risky decision.
We will take the risk with a safer Draw No Bet for the hosts, considering that Nice have conceded at least one goal in 27 consecutive away games and may find it quite difficult to equalize.

Lille vs. Nantes (4:15pm)
Lille finally won a league match in 2026 after six unsuccessful attempts, and then defeated Crvena Zvezda in the Champions League for a fantastic last seven days.
Nantes also finally ended their losing streak, but that was against a team at the bottom of the table. Lille have no time to waste and must continue to win if they want to stay in the European zone.
We expect the hosts to continue their momentum with another win against a team that has only two away wins in 11 games this season.
Lille vs. Nantes top betting tip: Lille to win
Lorient vs. Auxerre (4:15pm)
Lorient continue to be hot on the heels of the teams in the European zone, but they face a tough test against a team fighting for survival.
Lorient have only lost once in all competitions since the beginning of November, with their home form particularly impressive – five wins in their last six games.
The only thing giving Auxerre a chance in this game is their strong defense, but that is precisely why we expect a narrow victory for Lorient.
Lorient vs. Auxerre top betting tip: Lorient to win, Under 2.5 goals
Metz vs. Brest (4:15pm)
Is it time to see Brest back in the fight for Europe, or were their recent results just luck?
Victories over Marseille and Lorient, and a draw with Lille – that's what the visitors can boast about ahead of their match against Metz, who are likely to be relegated.
However, the fact is that Brest have not won away since November, and every away game since then has featured goals at both ends. It makes more sense to look for goals here than to risk a win for the visitors against a team that will be ready to do anything to win.
Metz vs. Brest top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Marseille vs. Lyon (7:45pm)
It was about time Lyon lost, but that doesn't mean they won't return to winning ways when they face struggling Marseille.
The hosts have changed their coach and will be looking to improve, with the important goal of maintaining their place in the top four. Three consecutive home wins against Lyon will certainly give them some motivation.
The Kids lost for the first time since early December, and it will be interesting to see how that affects them. We expect them to bounce back immediately and beat Marseille, who looked completely out of sorts against Brest, despite having a new coach.
