Ligue 1 predictions: Monaco vs Nice, Lille vs Lens: 28/03-30/03
How will Marseille react after the 3-1 defeat to PSG in Paris when they take on Reims on the road after the international break? De Zerbi’s side has struggled to maintain consistency lately, but can they muster out a win in Reims?
PSG will look to continue their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 when they take on struggling Saint-Etienne away from home, as Lyon and Strasbourg are set to kick off the upcoming round on Friday in Strasbourg.
This week’s Ligue 1 2024/25 gameweek 27 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
Ligue 1 2024/25 gameweek 27 predictions: 28/03/2025 - 30/03/2025
Strasbourg and Lyon to entertain fans with goals: Strasbourg vs Lyon
- Date: 28/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Goals are usually scored in matches involving both teams, and the upcoming game will not be any different.
Both teams have met several times in Ligue 1, but their last ten matches caught our attention. Lyon and Strasbourg scored against each other in nine of their last ten Ligue 1 meetings, and eight of these encounters ended with over 2.5 goals. We can anticipate a similar result from the upcoming game.
Strasbourg vs Lyon prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Marseille to bounce back to winning ways: Reims vs Marseille
- Date: 29/03/2025
- Kick-off: 17:00
- Marseille enjoy coming up against Reims, and we expect them to come away with all three points.
De Zerbi’s men may have lost three of their last five league matches, but the record they have against Reims is really good. Marseille lost only two of their last ten meetings with Reims, and because the hosts have endured rather struggles to maintain consistency this term, we can expect the visitors to nick it late in the game.
Reims vs Marseille prediction: Away team to win
PSG to maintain their winning momentum: Saint-Etienne vs PSG
- Date: 29/03/2025
- Kick-off: 19:00
- Both teams have different aims this season, and we expect the Parisians to extend their winning run this weekend.
PSG are unbeaten in Ligue 1 after 26 matches. They are on course to win the league title unbeaten, and with Saint-Étienne fighting against relegation after losing 15 in 26 matches, there’s a massive chance the Parisians may win the game by a five- or six-goal margin.
Saint-Etienne vs PSG prediction: Away team to win
AS Monaco to find the back of the net: OGC Nice vs AS Monaco
- Date: 29/03/2025
- Kick-off: 21:05
- AS Monaco haven’t struggled to find the back of the net against Nice, and we expect the visitors to continue their scoring form.
OGC Nice and AS Monaco have a very long list of Ligue 1 meetings, but we can guess how the upcoming game will end thanks to their last ten meetings. AS Monaco and Nice have exchanged wins during this period, but what was more consistent was Monaco’s scoring form. The visitors scored in eight of those ten meetings, so there’s a huge chance they can repeat the same in Nice this weekend.
OGC Nice vs AS Monaco prediction: Away over 0.5 goals
Brest to get on the scoresheet: Toulouse vs Brest
- Date: 30/03/2025
- Kick-off: 14:00
- Brest haven’t had issues coming up against Toulouse in recent meetings, so we expect them to find the back of the net.
Brest won four of their last ten meetings with Toulouse, losing just two. However, they play away from home, and we suspect the game may have a last twist. What we found consistent was Brest’s attack. The visitors scored in eight of their last ten meetings with Toulouse, so we can lean on them to get at least one this weekend.
Toulouse vs Brest prediction: Away over 0.5 goals
At least two goals to be scored: Auxerre vs Montpellier
- Date: 30/03/2025
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Goals are usually scored in matches involving both teams, and we expect the same from the upcoming game.
Auxerre lost the reverse fixture 3-2 away from home, but they are in better form to push for a win, as Montpellier sit at the bottom of the table with a series of defeats. However, we can rely on goals, as these meetings usually produce goals. At least two goals were scored in each of their last three meetings, so we can anticipate the same from the upcoming game.
Auxerre vs Montpellier prediction: Over 1.5 goals
Two or more goals will be scored: Angers vs Rennes
- Date: 30/03/2025
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Matches involving both teams usually produce many goals, but we expect at least two goals to be scored in the upcoming game.
Rennes and Angers have shared the pitch on this stage many times, but their last few meetings prove these meetings are fond of entertaining fans with goals. The reverse fixture ended in a 2-0 home win for Rennes, and nine of their last ten meetings ended with two or more goals. It is understandable why we expect 2+ goals from the upcoming game.
Angers vs Rennes prediction: Over 1.5 goals
Le Havre and Nantes to exchange goals: Le Havre vs Nantes
- Date: 30/03/2025
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Both teams are shambolic defensively, so we expect goals from both ends before the final whistle.
Le Havre and Nantes may have failed to score against each other in each of their most recent three league meetings, but we expect that to change in the upcoming game. Both teams have defended poorly this season, and when two teams with poor defence lines meet, they usually exchange goals.
Le Havre vs Nantes prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Lens and Lille to struggle in the attacking half: Lille vs Lens
- Date: 30/03/2025
- Kick-off: 19:45
- Goals are usually rare when both teams come up against each other, and with both clubs’ decent backlines, we expect the upcoming game to follow suit.
Lille and Lens have come up many times in Ligue 1, but their recent meetings have lacked goals. Each of their last five matches ended with less than three goals, so expecting the upcoming game to end with less than four goals isn’t a stretch.
