Today’s Ligue 1 betting tips & predictions
Lyon vs. Monaco (2pm)
Lyon’s form is proof that anything is possible in soccer. After 13 consecutive wins, Les Gones have now gone seven games without a victory, having been eliminated from the Europa League and the Coupe de France.
Monaco, on the other hand, are the team in the best form in the league, with five consecutive wins, including a victory over PSG.
Lyon dominated the reverse fixture, but right now it’s worth taking a chance on a Monaco win, especially with these high odds. Winning tomorrow will place Monaco just a point behind Lyon, who currently occupy the fourth place.

Marseille vs. Lille (4:15pm)
Right after Lyon vs. Monaco, we have another equally exciting matchup in store, with Marseille defending their third-place spot against fifth-place Lille.
The matches between these teams in recent years have been incredibly close. Interestingly, Marseille has only one loss in their last 10 home games against Lille, but just one win in their last 10 matches against them overall.
Four of the last five H2Hs at the Stade Velodrome have ended in draws, and given the good form of both teams, we can expect a similarly close match.
Marseille vs. Lille top betting tip: Draw
Paris FC vs. Le Havre (4:15pm)
Paris FC host Le Havre, and the question is whether they’ll manage to score at least one goal this time.
These teams know each other inside out, having spent many years together in Ligue 2. What’s interesting right now is that each of their last three official head-to-head matches ended in goalless draws.
It’s impossible to find a reason to expect goals here, so we’ll definitely be looking at under 2.5 goals as our primary choice. Both teams need just a few more points to secure their survival, so a narrow victory will be enough for either side.

Rennes vs. Metz (4:15pm)
Even if Metz were to win all 24 remaining points until the end of the season, it might still not be enough to avoid relegation.
Rennes will do their best to ensure Metz’s relegation, as a slip-up in this match could cost them a spot in next year’s UEFA competitions.
Rennes have won eight straight matches against Metz, and we expect them to extend their streak without conceding a goal.

Nantes vs. Strasbourg (7:45pm)
This match will be decisive for both teams' ambitions. Nantes must win every remaining match to survive, while it is not too late for Strasbourg to fight for a spot in Europe.
To do so, however, Nantes will have to play their best home game yet, considering they are the weakest home team in the league.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, have just one loss in their last five away games in Ligue 1, which should give them the confidence to beat Nantes away again. Le Racing have won six of their last seven trips to Stade de la Beaujoire.
