Round 18 Predictions
Monaco vs LOrient
Monaco and Lorient’s recent H2H meetings include several draws and balanced scorelines, and Monaco have been inconsistent this season around mid-table while Lorient have shown resilience with many draws. Monaco’s home strength should help, but Lorient’s ability to grind out results suggests a close duel.
- Draw
- Under 3.5 Goals
- BTTS Yes
PSG Vs LOSC
PSG dominate this H2H historically, with significantly more wins and strong scoring records at home, while Lille are competitive but less consistent. PSG’s status as Ligue 1 title contenders and their current 2nd league standing, along with superior firepower, make them clear favorites.
- PSG Wins
- Over 2.5 Goals
- BTTS Yes
Lens vs Auxerre
Lens sits at the league summit with consistent victories, often outplaying lower table sides like Auxerre; almost at the relegation. Auxerre’s struggles this season make a Lens home win likely.
- Lens Wins
- Correct Score: 2 – 0
- Under 9.5 Corners
Toulouse vs Nice
Recent meetings show competitive scorelines, and Toulouse’s league form has been solid enough at home to trouble mid-table Nice. Expect an open contest but as evident in Toulouse’s 8th league position and competitive play display recently compared to Nice’s 14th position, a home-lean is more likely due to form and resilience.
- Toulouse Wins
- Under 3.5
- BTTS No
Angers vs Marseille
Currently taking the 3rd position in the league standings, Marseille is stronger both historically compared with struggling Angers. Further, Marseille’s attack typically outclasses lower-ranked defenses, such as Angers at 10th position, making an away win probable.
- Marseille Wins
- Over 2.5
- Under 10.5 Corners
Strasbourg vs Metz
Strasbourg is comfortably above Metz (7th vs 18th), which is currently at the bottom of the league standings, and has shown better consistency. While previously matches between the two have been competitive, Metz’s recent performances, low form, and lower table position point toward a narrow Strasbourg victory.
- Strasbourg Wins
- Under 1.5 Goals
- BTTS No
Rennes vs Le Havre
Rennes boasts a clear recent edge, remaining unbeaten in their last six competitive meetings with Le Havre and winning three of them, including a convincing 5‑1 Ligue 1 victory last year. Rennes’ form this season shows more wins and higher scoring averages, while Le Havre has struggled for goals and consistency, making the home side’s strengths and psychological advantage more valuable for Rennes.
- Under 3.5 Goals
- Correct Score: 2 – 0
- BTTS No
Nantes vs Paris FC
Nantes hold a slight edge over Paris FC, winning their last Ligue 1 meeting 2–1 at Stade Jean Bouin in october and historically have more wins overall in their limited clashes. While Nantes’ form this season has been mixed, they typically score and grind out results more often than Paris FC (although Paris currently sits one position higher in the table), with inconsistent Ligue 1 performances and fewer wins, giving Nantes the advantage at home
- Nantes Wins
- Correct Score: 5 – 0
- Under 4.5 Cards
Lyon vs Brest
Lyon hold a strongadvantage against Brest, winning 7 of 19 meetings while Brest has only 3 wins and many draws, including a 2–1 Lyon victory last year and solid home showings historically. This season, Lyon are in better form with multiple wins and strong home performances, whereas Brest’s away results are inconsistent and they often concede, tipping the balance toward a Lyon win at home.
- BTTS Yes
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Lyon Wins
