Ligue 1 Predictions > Feb 24th - 26th

[StevieDay1983]

The Ligue 1 title race is still wide open between PSG, Marseille, Monaco, and Lens after all four of those teams won last week. Nice finally saw their impressive run of wins come to a halt after a 0-0 at home with Reims. Montpellier come into their home game with Lens having notched up back-to-back wins so their odds are looking tempting. Clermont, Troyes, and Ajaccio appear to be the teams to avoid though having lost at least three league games in a row. What are your picks in the top division of French football for this weekend?

Marseille vs PSG

Marseille, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 3-2 Ligue 1 triumph against Toulouse. It was L’OM’s second straight win that kept them five points behind their upcoming rivals. Marseille hasn’t been able to stop scoring goals, netting in every one of their last six matches. They have hit an aggregate of 11 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 7. However, Amine Harit (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Samuel Gigot (Injury to the ankle) won’t be playing for Marseille manager Igor Tudor on Sunday evening. Also, Chancel Mbemba will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

PSG will go into the match following a 4-3 Ligue 1 win versus Lille in their previous outing. Despite trailing 3-2 in the second half, the defending champions secured a massive success. In as many as 5 out of the last six clashes involving Paris Saint-Germain, three or more goals have gone in. The average goals scored per match in that spell is 3.67, with the number of goals averaged by Paris Saint-Germain working out to 1.83. Coming into this meeting, Paris Saint-Germain remains unbeaten over Marseille in away games against them for the last nine league matches. A fantastic record for the visitors. They hope to extend that excellent streak after Sunday’s encounter.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

PSG hasn’t been very consistent recently, and they lost to the same opponent in Coupe de France a few weeks ago. We think Marseille has an excellent chance to stay undefeated in this clash.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games lately, and we believe they will pick up where they left off. Therefore, both sides should find their way to the opponent’s net. 

Marseille AH +0.5 @ 1.60

BTTS Yes @ 1.55

Correct score 2:2 @ 12.00
