Predictions for the 15th round of Ligue 1, December 5-7
Brest vs Monaco
The 15th round of the French Championship kicks off with a match between Brest and Monaco. Both teams won in the previous round and are now looking to consolidate their success. For the "Monegasques," the recent victory over PSG (1:0) was a breath of fresh air, as Sebastien Pocognoli's team had a losing streak of three matches before that. Brest currently has two consecutive victories over Metz and Strasbourg, but they were not without a bit of luck. It is worth noting that in the previous seven head-to-head matches between Brest and Monaco, the "Monegasques" have won six times. Considering this statistic, we suggest betting on the visitors.
Match Prediction for Brest vs Monaco: victory for the visitors
Lille vs Marseille
In one of the most high-profile matches of the 15th round of Ligue 1, Lille and Marseille will face off. In the standings, these teams occupy 4th and 3rd places respectively, separated by only three points. It is worth highlighting the high scoring ability of the teams, especially recently. In the last three home matches in the French Championship, Lille scored 11 goals. Marseille, in their last two away matches, scored six times. Considering how much these teams score, a bet on over 2.5 goals looks very promising.
Match Prediction for Lille vs Marseille: over 2.5 goals
Nantes vs Lens
The newly crowned leader of the standings, Lens, will visit one of the tournament's outsiders, Nantes. This season, the opponents are showing completely different levels of football. The "Canaries" are in the relegation zone and have not won for a month and a half. Meanwhile, Lens has won seven out of their last eight matches and currently has a winning streak of four games. The current form of the "Blood and Gold" is impressive, so our bet is on the visiting team to win.
Match Prediction for Nantes vs Lens: victory for the visitors
Toulouse – Strasbourg
In one of the matches of the 15th round of the French football championship, Toulouse will play against Strasbourg. These teams occupy neighboring positions in the middle of the standings and have recently shown not the most stable results. If at the start of the season the "Racers" were among the leaders and contending for medals, now they have two defeats in the previous rounds, and away, the team has not won in four matches (3 losses and one draw). At home, Toulouse has only lost one out of their last five matches. We expect the hosts to continue their confident play – we bet on the "Violets" not to lose.
Match Prediction for Toulouse vs Strasbourg: Toulouse will not lose
PSG vs Rennes
PSG, having lost in the last round, will host Rennes, who have jumped into the European competition zone. In the previous five matches between these opponents, the Parisians have four wins and another One match ended in a draw. The defeat by Monaco (0:1) was clearly not part of Luis Enrique's plans, as it led to the loss of first place. Now PSG is more motivated than ever to win. Rennes has an incredible winning streak of four matches, which has elevated the team to fifth place in the standings. With quality and stable defensive play, Rennes should put up a fight against their more renowned opponent, so we suggest a positive handicap on the visitors.
Match Prediction PSG vs Rennes: Handicap (+2.5) Rennes
Nice vs Angers
Nice, plummeting into the abyss, will play at home against Angers. The "Eaglets" have a losing streak of four matches in the French Championship, plus five defeats in the Europa League. Angers recently had two consecutive clean-sheet victories—against Auxerre (2:0) and Toulouse (1:0), but in the last round, the "Black and Whites" lost to the league leader, Lens (1:2), showing a decent level of football. Considering Nice's current form, we suggest betting on a positive handicap for the visitors.
Match Prediction Nice vs Angers: Handicap (+1) Angers
Auxerre vs Metz
In the battle of the underdogs of the current French football championship season, Auxerre and Metz will face off. These clubs are at the bottom of the standings and are highly likely to leave the elite division. It's worth noting the low scoring of both teams: Metz has scored 14 goals, while Auxerre has only 8. In the last two official matches between these opponents, only one goal was scored. The bet for this match is obvious—total goals under 2.5.
Match Prediction Auxerre vs Metz: Total Goals Under 2.5
Le Havre vs Paris
The mid-table clash in Ligue 1 between Le Havre and Paris will take place on Sunday. Both teams are in dire need of points as they are dangerously close to the relegation zone. In the last three rounds, the capital club has gained only one point, drawing with Auxerre (a tournament outsider) and losing twice—to Lille and Rennes. Le Havre suffered two clean-sheet defeats in previous rounds—against PSG (0:3) and Lille (0:1). The last two official matches between these opponents ended in a goalless draw. Given the teams' low scoring, a bet on total goals under 2.5 looks very promising.
Match Prediction Le Havre vs Paris: Total Goals Under 2.5
Lorient vs Lyon
Lyon, aiming for the top group in the French Championship, will visit Lorient, who are on the brink of the relegation zone. After a month-long slump, the "Lions" have slowly started to gain momentum, securing two impressive victories: in the Europa League against Maccabi Tel Aviv (6:0) and in Ligue 1 against Nantes (3:0). Lorient currently has a 3-match unbeaten streak, allowing them to avoid falling to the very bottom.standings. We are in for a tough battle, with Lyon looking like the favorite after performing excellently in recent weeks – we suggest betting on them with a draw no bet option.
