Sunday's Ligue 1 predictions including Monaco vs. Lille

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Ligue 1 fixtures, including Monaco vs. Lille.


Clermont vs. Lyon (Sunday, 12.00pm)

Lyon continue their late-season charge for Europe with a trip to the Stade Gabriel Montpied to face Clermont in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Just six points separate the two clubs in what could potentially be a historical campaign for the hosts.

We say: Clermont 0-2 Lyon


Clermont have the chance to win four straight home games for the first time in over two years, but their solid defence will be put to the test here.

The form of Lacazette makes Lyon one of the most threatening sides in the division, and they could end Clermont's excellent run of form in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Montpellier vs. Lorient (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Montpellier HSC welcome Lorient to the Stade de la Mosson for a Ligue 1 encounter on Sunday.

Both sides are set for a mid-table finish after very differing fortunes in the first half of the season.

We say: Montpellier HSC 2-1 Lorient


Montpellier are unbeaten against Lorient in their last 12 meetings, and will fancy they can score the goals to get them another result here.

Despite a recent resurgence, Lorient's season has turned into a mess during 2023, and they may struggle against one of the league's best attacking outfits.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Brest vs. Auxerre (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Separated by a solitary point in the Ligue 1 table, fellow strugglers Brest and Auxerre find themselves just outside the drop zone ahead of their crucial relegation six-pointer on Sunday.

With only four matches remaining, Auxerre travel to the Stade Francis-Le Ble with a two-point gap between them and the bottom four, while Brest possess a three-point cushion.

We say: Brest 1-1 Auxerre


With both sides fighting for survival at the bottom end of the table, Brest and Auxerre look set to play out a tense and cagey draw at the Stade Francis-Le Ble.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Rennes vs. Troyes (Sunday, 2.00pm)

European chasers Rennes welcome basement battlers Troyes to Roazhon Park on Sunday afternoon, with the visitors on the brink of relegation to Ligue 2.

Needing a win to keep their season alive, Troyes find themselves 12 points from safety with four matches remaining, while Rennes sit three points shy of the top five.

We say: Rennes 3-1 Troyes


With relegation looming, Troyes have no choice but to throw everything at Rennes on Sunday, but the visitors will leave themselves exposed at the back as they push for the win.

Accordingly, we expect Rennes to take advantage of a desperate Troyes outfit, whose fate looks set to be sealed by an eighth defeat in nine games on the road.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Toulouse vs. Nantes (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Following the sacking of Antoine Kombouare, relegation-threatened Nantes will begin life under interim manager Pierre Aristouy when they visit Toulouse on Sunday afternoon.

The visitors find themselves two points inside the Ligue 1 drop zone with four games left, while the hosts sit 10 points clear of Nantes and the bottom four.

We say: Toulouse 2-2 Nantes


Given Toulouse's recent wobbles on home soil, Nantes are expected to give the hosts a run for their money, but the visitors will struggle to claim all three points on Sunday.

Sitting two points from safety with four matches remaining, the Canaries must go for broke at Stadium de Toulouse, but their attacking endeavours will leave them vulnerable in defence.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Monaco vs. Lille (Sunday, 4.05pm)

Monaco will be looking to take a huge step towards a top-four finish when they welcome Lille to Stade Louis II on Sunday evening in an all-important Ligue 1 clash.

The hosts bounced back from successive defeats last time out with a victory over Angers, whilst Lille were unable to earn anything out of their match with Reims.

We say: Monaco 1-1 Lille


Monaco squeezed past Angers in their last match but have been disappointing in recent times, and we expect them to struggle to keep Lille's David at bay this weekend.

Les Dogues are on the hunt for a top-four standing in these final quartet of fixtures - Fonseca's side should be good enough for a point on their travels on Sunday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Marseille vs. Angers (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Marseille will be looking to keep their top-two ambitions alive when they welcome already-relegated Angers to Stade Orange Velodrome on Sunday night in Ligue 1.

Les Olympiens lost their crunch clash with Lens last time out, while Angers suffered their fourth-straight defeat at home to top-four hopefuls Monaco.

We say: Marseille 3-1 Angers


Marseille suffered a major setback in their hunt for a top-two finish last time out, but they should be confident of easing past an Angers outfit who are in turmoil on and off the pitch.

Angers have been competitive in their last six matches - scoring in each - but we envisage another defeat for the visitors at Stade Orange Velodrome on Sunday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
