Ligue 1 predictions: Rennes vs PSG, Nice vs Lyon: 07/03-10/03
Marseille will continue their pursuit of a second-place finish when they host Lens this weekend. De Zerbi’s side won four of their last five league matches, to say the least, but they are still far from technically qualifying for the Champions League next season.
PSG remain unbeaten after 24 matches, and their encounter with Rennes looks more like an awaiting victory for the Parisians, but the hosts are in dangerous form, winning four of their last five games.
This week’s Ligue 1 2024/25 gameweek 25 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
Ligue 1 2024/25 gameweek 25 predictions
Monaco to avoid a defeat: Toulouse vs Monaco
- Date: 07/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Monaco won most of their last five league matches against Toulouse, and we expect them to avoid a defeat in the upcoming game.
Having won three of their last five Ligue 1 meetings with Toulouse, Monaco are identified as the favourite to win the upcoming game despite playing as the visitors. However, Toulouse are in dangerous form, losing only once in their last five league games, to say the least. Monaco may struggle to get the win, but losing the encounter is wide off the mark.
Toulouse vs Monaco prediction: Away team to win or draw
PSG and Rennes to exchange goals: PSG vs Rennes
- Date: 08/03/2025
- Kick-off: 17:00
- Rennes have disturbed PSG in recent meetings, and with their current form, expecting them to get on the scoreboard isn’t delusional.
PSG won two and lost two of their last five Ligue 1 meetings. The Parisians will be involved in the Champions League action in midweek against Liverpool, which means they will be half energized taking on in-form Rennes, who won four of their last five matches. The visitors may struggle to get a point in Paris, but getting on the scoreboard shouldn’t be a stretch.
PSG vs Rennes prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Lille to bounce back to winning ways: Lille vs Montpellier
- Date: 08/03/2025
- Kick-off: 19:00
- Lille love coming up against Montpellier, having dominated this team in recent years. They are increasingly likely to remain dominant this weekend.
Lille’s chances of getting back to winning ways this weekend are huge because they host a team that they love coming up against. Lille avoided a defeat in their last 13 Ligue 1 matches against Montpellier and won three of their previous five league meetings. With the visitors fighting against relegation, there’s a giant chance the hosts will dominate this encounter and get all three points.
Lille vs Montpellier prediction: Home team to win
Lens and Marseille to exchange goals: Marseille vs Lens
- Date: 08/03/2025
- Kick-off: 21:05
- Neither team has dominated these meetings recently, and the upcoming encounter will be as exciting.
Lens won three, and Marseille won two in their last five Ligue 1 meetings. Lens have been in bad form lately, losing their last four league matches, while Marseille are pushing for a second-place finish. There’s a huge difference in form between both clubs, but with De Zerbi’s side struggling to keep a string of clean sheets, there’s a huge chance the visitors will pull a goal back.
Marseille vs Lens prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Angers and Brest to struggle in the final third: Brest vs Angers
- Date: 09/03/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Both teams had their moments in previous meetings, but matches involving these teams rarely produce three or more goals.
Both teams have met on several occasions in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, and most times, they struggled to find the back of the net. Six of their last nine Ligue 1 meetings ended with under 2.5 goals, and with Angers protecting their backline at all costs, the upcoming game may end as the reverse fixture that ended in a 2-0 win for the visitors.
Brest vs Angers prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Nantes and Strasbourg to entertain fans with goals: Nantes vs Strasbourg
- Date: 09/03/2025
- Kick-off: 17:15
- Matches involving these teams sometimes produce three or more goals, and the upcoming game may follow suit.
The last time Nantes and Strasbourg crossed paths, the latter won the encounter 3-1 at home. They come up this weekend for the return leg, and based on their previous meetings and current form, the upcoming game may produce three or more goals, just as three of their last five league meetings did.
Nantes vs Strasbourg prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Le Havre and Saint-Etienne to delight fans with goals: Le Havre vs Saint-Etienne
- Date: 09/03/2025
- Kick-off: 17:15
- Both teams have a short list of encounters in Ligue 1, but goals are normally scored when they cross paths.
Both teams met twice in Ligue 2 in the last two seasons, and both games ended with over 2.5 goals. They met last year in Ligue 1 for the first time since 2009, but the game had only two goals. In total, two of their last five Ligue 1 meetings ended with over 2.5 goals, and with Saint-Etienne conceding and almost scoring in every game, there’s a big chance the upcoming game will produce 3+ goals.
Le Havre vs Saint-Etienne prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Reims and Auxerre to exchange goals: Reims vs Auxerre
- Date: 09/03/2025
- Kick-off: 17:15
- Both teams have met only three times in Ligue 1, and they scored against each other in two. The upcoming game may follow suit.
Reims and Auxerre have a short list of Ligue 1 meetings, but we can imagine the outcome of the upcoming game. Both teams scored in two of their only three Ligue 1 meetings, and over 2.5 goals were achieved in the process. We can expect both teams to score in the upcoming game or more than three goals to be scored.
Reims vs Auxerre prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Nice and Lyon will find the back of the net: Nice vs Lyon
- Date: 09/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both teams have a long list of Ligue 1 meetings, and their previous meetings recently suggest they are likely to give their fans goals to celebrate.
Lyon thrashed OGC Nice 4-1 in Ligue 1 the last time they met last year, and they cross paths again for the return leg. Having scored against each other in three of their last five league meetings, Lyon and Nice are likely to find the back of the net in the upcoming game, thanks to their current form, scoring 40+ goals already in the championship.
