Ligue 1 2024/25 predictions: Gameweek 15

Lille will look to protect their unbeaten run of 10 league matches when they play as visitors against Marseille, who are in better form, this weekend.

PSG and Lyon will lock horns in Paris as Stade de Reims host Monaco in Reims. This week’s Ligue 1 gameweek 15 predictions were made based on expert knowledge, current form, and data.

Ligue 1 2024/25 Gameweek 15 predictions: 13/12/24 - 15/12/24

Toulouse and Saint-Etienne to struggle in the final third: Toulouse vs Saint-Etienne

• Date: 13/12/2024
• Kick-off: 20:45
• Both teams struggle to score goals, and they are unlikely to change that in the upcoming game.

Toulouse averaged 2.21 goals per game in 14 league matches, while Saint-Etienne averaged 3.07 goals per game in 14 league matches. The visitors have a better goal ratio because they conceded more goals than the hosts, which we think may not happen in the upcoming game. After all, Toulouse don’t score many goals.

Toulouse vs Saint-Etienne prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Marseille and Lille to exchange goals: Marseille vs Lille

• Date: 14/12/2024
• Kick-off: 17:00
• Both teams don’t struggle to find the net, and we think they won’t in the upcoming encounter.

Marseille scored 31 goals and conceded 17 goals in 14 league matches, while Lille scored 24 goals and conceded 14 goals in 14 league games. Marseille regularly score in front of their fans, but because Lille have several dangerous forwards who can decide games, we think the visitors can give their traveling fans something to cheer about.

Marseille vs Lille prediction: Both teams to score - yes

At least two goals to be scored in Burgundy: Auxerre vs Lens

• Date: 14/12/2024
• Kick-off: 19:00
• Lens do not regularly concede many goals, but Auxerre can change that.

Lens averaged 2.07 goals per game in 14 league matches, while Auxerre averaged 3.0 goals per game. Both teams averaged more than two goals per game, which suggests this encounter may follow suit.

Auxerre vs Lens prediction: Over 1.5 goals

Reims and Monaco may deliver drab football: Reims vs Monaco

• Date: 14/12/2024
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Reims’ matches sometimes produce at least three goals, and their game against Monaco may end the same.

Reims averaged 2.71 goals per game in 14 league matches, while Monaco averaged 2.40 goals per game in 14 matches. Both teams effortlessly hit past the over 1.5 goals mark, so we expect this encounter to produce at least two goals.

Reims vs Monaco prediction: Over 1.5 goals

Nice to secure a win against struggling Montpellier as visitors: Montpellier vs Nice

• Date: 15/12/2024
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Montpellier sit at the bottom of the standings due to their poor form, and they are unlikely to change that this weekend.

Nice will relish the chance to play against struggling Montpellier, who are in dreadful form. The hosts sit at the bottom of the standings with ten defeats in 14 league matches. The visitors are in better form, having won three of their last five league matches, and will look to take all three points, knowing that a win over Montpellier can take them as high as 4th place.

Montpellier vs Nice prediction: Away team to win

Brest and Nantes to exchange goals: Brest vs Nantes

• Date: 15/12/2024
• Kick-off: 17:00
• Both teams score goals and struggle to keep clean sheets, and we expect the upcoming game to run with the herd.

Brest have struggled to replicate their last season's form, where they overachieved and finished in the top four. They have exchanged defeats with defeats this term so far, but they somehow still manage to score goals. Nantes are in a similar situation, with only one win in their last five matches. Best scored 20 goals and conceded 26 goals in 14 league matches, while Nantes scored 16 goals and conceded 20 goals in 14 Ligue 1 games. Given this data, we can anticipate goals from both ends.

Brest vs Nantes prediction: Both teams to score - yes

At least two goals will be scored: Rennes vs Angers

• Date: 15/12/2024
• Kick-off: 17:00
• Both teams may be in poor form, but matches involving either team are fond of producing at least two goals.

Rennes averaged 2.71 goals in 14 league games, the same for Angers. Both teams effortlessly produce more than two goals per game, and we think the upcoming game can end similarly, although both teams are in poor form.

Rennes vs Angers prediction: Over 1.5 goals

Strasbourg and Le Havre to exchange goals: Le Havre vs Strasbourg

• Date: 15/12/2024
• Kick-off: 17:00
• Both struggling teams will win matches, but they are likely to give their fans goals to celebrate.

Le Havre may have only scored 11 goals in 14 league matches, but they commonly show a fight when they play in front of their fans. Strasbourg do not have one of the best defense lines (27 goals conceded in 14 games) and are in poor form; they are unlikely to shut Le Havre, who scored in three of their last five games, out from scoring at least a goal.

Le Havre vs Strasbourg prediction: Both teams to score - yes

PSG and Lyon to display their attacking prowess in Paris: PSG vs Lyon

• Date: 15/12/2024
• Kick-off: 20:45
• Both teams are in decent form, and it is only normal to expect both French giants to advertise Ligue 1 football again with high-intensity football.

PSG are in fine form, having lost a game in Ligue 1 this term, thanks to their solid defense. Lyon, however, are in decent form, having gone unbeaten in their last nine league matches. They may not have the quality to beat the Parisians, but they surely have good individuals who can light up Parc des Princes and get on the scoreboard.

PSG vs Lyon prediction: Over 2.5 goals
