Ligue 1 2024/25 predictions: Gameweek 14
How will PSG react against Auxerre following their disappointing result against Nantes in Paris over the weekend? A 1-1 draw at home against Nantes is a poor result by PSG’s standards, and it is only fair to expect them to get back to winning ways against Auxerre in the upcoming fixture.
In-form Toulouse will face struggling Monaco away from home this weekend, as Marseille will only think about continuing their winning run when they face St-Etienne away from home on Sunday night.
This week’s Ligue 1 gameweek 14 predictions were made based on data, current form, and expert knowledge.
Ligue 1 2024/25 Gameweek 14 Predictions: 06/12 - 08/12
Lille and Brest to display their attacking prowess: Lille vs Brest
- Date: 06/12/2024
- Kick-off: 19:00
- Brest may be struggling to win matches, but scoring goals hasn’t been a problem for them, just as keeping clean sheets has
Lille averaged 1.0 goals conceded in 13 league matches, having conceded 13 goals in 13 games. Brest scored 19 goals and conceded 23 goals in 13 league games, and it is relatively normal to expect both teams to exchange goals.
Lille vs Brest prediction 06/12/2024: Both teams to score - yes
PSG and Auxerre to delight fans with goals: Auxerre vs PSG
- Date: 06/12/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Auxerre may not be one of the big names in France, but they may not have issues scoring goals against PSG
PSG dropped two points at home against Nantes, and their upcoming game against Auxerre may go sideways. The hosts have scored 21 goals and conceded 21 goals in 13 Ligue 1 matches already, and they can get on the scoreboard against the reigning champions too. Matches involving either team commonly produce at least three goals, and we expect matches involving both teams to follow suit.
Auxerre vs PSG prediction 06/12/2024: Over 2.5 goals
Monaco and Toulouse to struggle in the final third: Monaco vs Toulouse
- Date: 07/12/2024
- Kick-off: 17:00
- Toulouse and Monaco don’t concede many goals, and we think this game will lack goals
Monaco conceded 12 goals in 13 league matches, Toulouse 14. Matches involving either team commonly produce under 3.5 goals, and we think this encounter will follow suit. The hosts averaged 2.61 goals per game, Toulouse 2.23 goals per game.
Monaco vs Toulouse prediction 07/12/2024: Under 3.5 goals
Nice to bounce back to winning ways: Nice vs Le Havre
- Date: 07/12/2024
- Kick-off: 19:00
- Le Havre are in poor form and have little to no chance to turn their form around against Nice
Nice are in better form, having only lost once in their last eight Ligue 1 matches, while Le Havre are in the relegation zone with nine defeats in 13 games. Having gone unbeaten in weeks in the French championship, it is only normal to expect the hosts to get back to winning ways after last weekend’s 4-1 loss to Lyon.
Nice vs Lyon prediction 07/12/2024: Home team to win
Angers and Lyon to entertain fans with many noteworthy moments: Angers vs Lyon
- Date: 07/12/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- There are no dull matches involving either team, so we expect matches involving Angers and Lyon to produce goals
Angers averaged 2.69 goals per game in 13 league matches, and Lyon averaged 3.07 goals per game in 13 league games as well. Matches involving both teams commonly produce at least three goals, so we expect this encounter to follow suit.
Angers vs Lyon prediction 07/12/2024: Over 2.5 goals
Montpellier’s agony to continue in Lens: Lens vs Montpellier
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Montpellier have lost the most games (9) in the French Ligue 1 this term, and Lens can hand them their 10th defeat this weekend
Lens may have struggled to maintain consistency in recent weeks, but they are increasingly likely to register a win over Montpellier because the visitors are in poor form - nine defeats in their last 13 league games. The hosts lost only three. The difference in form is huge.
Lens vs Montpellier prediction 08/12/2024: Home team to win
Nantes and Rennes to struggle in the final third: Nantes vs Rennes
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 17:00
- Matches involving either team struggle to produce three goals, let alone four. We expect this encounter to lack goals
Nantes averaged 2.69 goals in 13 league games, having scored 15 goals and conceded 20 goals. Rennes averaged 2.84 goals per game in 13 league matches, and it is important to add that the visitors are only one goal better at the back. This suggests this encounter may struggle to produce at least three goals, so we can confidently expect it to end with less than four goals.
Nantes vs Rennes prediction 08/12/2024: Under 3.5 goals
Strasbourg and Reims to exchange goals: Strasbourg vs Reims
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 17:00
- Reims and Strasbourg are fond of scoring goals and conceding goals, and we think they can replicate just that in this encounter
Strasbourg scored 22 goals and conceded 27 goals in 13 league matches. They averaged 1.69 goals scored and 2.07 goals conceded per game. Reims scored 20 goals and conceded 18 goals in 13 league matches. It’s obvious but teams normally score at least one goal and concede at least one goal as well in every match, which suggests this encounter can follow suit.
Strasbourg vs Reims prediction 08/12/2024: Both teams to score - yes
St-Etienne’s struggles to continue in front of their fans: St-Etienne vs Marseille
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45
- St-Etienne are fighting against relegation and it will only get worse against Marseille, who are fighting for the title
Marseille recorded an important win over Monaco last time out, and they will want to make it count when they face struggling St-Etienne. The hosts lost eight of their last 13 league matches, including last weekend’s 5-0 defeat to Rennes. They may play in front of their fans, but the Greens are unlikely to cause a fright against Marseille, who sit in 2nd place with 26 points.
St-Etienne vs Marseille prediction 08/12/2024: Away team to win
