Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Nice vs. Lyon

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Ligue 1 fixtures, including Nice vs. Lyon.


Metz vs. Lens (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Metz and Lens will both endeavour to build on hugely impressive away victories in Ligue 1 when the two sides go head-to-head at the Stade Saint-Symphorien on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts enjoyed a 2-0 victory at high-flying Montpellier last time out, while Lens trounced Monaco 3-0 on their own turf as their bright start to the season continued.

We say: Metz 1-2 Lens


Lens' affinity for clean sheets on the road should serve them well in this game, but the visitors could struggle to keep out a Metz side who managed to overcome Montpellier on their own turf. The two teams should have a mutual respect for one another given their midweek results, but Lens have the look of a side who could push for a European berth and we expect Haise's men to eke out another away win on Saturday.

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

Marseille vs. Reims (Saturday, 6.00pm)

Marseille will be aiming to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Rennes when they welcome Reims to the Orange Velodrome on Saturday evening.

In contrast, the struggling visitors managed to pick up a vital three points on Wednesday as they overcame Nantes 3-2 at home.

We say: Marseille 2-0 Reims


Bar a 4-0 crushing of Montpellier earlier in the season, Reims have struggled for results on unfamiliar territory, although they will have fond memories of last season's win at the Orange Velodrome. However, Marseille will view this game as an ideal opportunity to recover from their disheartening midweek defeat, so we expect Villas-Boas's men to get the job done and keep the pressure on the top three.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Nice vs. Lyon (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Nice will be hoping to build on their maiden victory under Adrian Ursea when they welcome Lyon to the Allianz Riviera for Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter.

The hosts occupy 11th spot in the table following their midweek win over Nimes, whereas Lyon lost ground in the title race with a draw against Brest.

We say: Nice 1-2 Lyon


Nice will be feeling much more optimistic about their fortunes after getting off the mark under Ursea, but the visit of Lyon will be a true test of their European credentials. Garcia should make a number of changes for this game as Les Gones look to return to winning ways, and while the visitors are not expected to march to an easy victory, Lyon should weather the Aiglons storm to get over the line.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
