Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Nice vs. Nantes

Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Saturday's Ligue 1 matches - Lens vs. Saint-Etienne and Nice vs. Nantes.

Lens will endeavour to stretch their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to five matches when they welcome high-flying Saint-Etienne to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis for Saturday's showdown.

The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Nimes in their most recent outing, while Saint-Etienne suffered their first defeat of the campaign at home to table-toppers Rennes in gameweek five.

We say: Lens 0-1 Saint-Etienne


Lens have performed extremely well in the opening weeks of the season and already look like a side capable of cementing their Ligue 1 status for next season. However, Saint-Etienne will be desperate to return to winning ways and have a point to prove following their crushing defeat to Rennes, so we expect the visitors to just edge this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Nice vs. Nantes (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Nice and Nantes will both be aiming to record their first victory of the season since gameweek two when they meet at the Allianz Riviera for Saturday's Ligue 1 clash.

The hosts held Bordeaux to a goalless stalemate last time out, whereas Nantes fell to defeat against high-flying Lille last Friday.

We say: Nice 2-1 Nantes


Neither side have covered themselves in glory over the past few weeks but will both be determined to pick up all three points before the international break. Nice and Nantes each have a number of absentees to contend with, and this one could go either way, but we think Vieira's men will do enough to scrape a narrow victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
