Sunday's Ligue 1 predictions including Marseille vs. PSG (2024)

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Ligue 1 fixtures, including Marseille vs. PSG.

Lorient vs. Brest (Sunday, 12.00pm)

Brest aim to end a two-game winless run in Ligue 1 when they travel to relegation-threatened Lorient in Sunday's gameweek 27 fixture at Stade du Moustoir.

The home side hope to build on the creditable point secured at Monaco before the international break, while the second-placed visitors seek maximum points after picking up one from six before the hiatus.

We say: Lorient 1-2 Brest

While Brest have the third-best road record in Ligue 1 — and Lorient have the fourth-worst home return in the division — the Pirates' dearth of goals (16) in 13 away matches suggests Sunday's match will be tight.

Nevertheless, Roy's team are adept against struggling clubs, pointing to a narrow victory for the second-placed side.

Nice vs. Nantes (Sunday, 2.00pm)

We say: Nice 1-0 Nantes

Although they have stumbled in recent weeks, Nice still boast the joint-best defensive record in Ligue 1, while Nantes are not prolific by any means. Therefore, one moment of magic, or madness, could decide this contest in the home side's favour.

Clermont vs. Toulouse (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Two teams scrapping for Ligue 1 survival meet at Stade Gabriel-Montpied on Sunday, as rock-bottom Clermont host Toulouse.

Les Lanciers stayed stuck to the foot of the table despite recording a rare win before the international break, while their visitors have lost back-to-back games and are still far from securing safety.

We say: Clermont 0-1 Toulouse

Clermont have put just two wins on the board from 13 home games this season, and as Toulouse pose far more of a goal threat, the visitors should drag themselves further clear of the drop zone; deepening their hosts' danger.

Le Havre vs. Montpellier (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Neither Le Havre nor Montpellier HSC are out of relegation danger heading into Sunday's Ligue 1 game at Stade Oceane.

The visitors, one point behind the Normandy outfit, go into the gameweek 27 fixture in slightly better form than their hosts, and they hope to leapfrog the Dean Club after the international break.

We say: Le Havre 1-0 Montpellier HSC

While the recent form table — Le Havre have three points from a possible 15 and Montpellier have seven in their last five games — indicates a positive outcome for the visitors on Sunday, a pitiful run of six losses in their previous eight road games means the hosts are backed for a marginal victory.

Strasbourg vs. Rennes (Sunday, 4.05pm)

Having finally ended their wait for a first Ligue 1 win of 2024, Strasbourg return from the international break on Sunday, when European hopefuls Rennes visit Stade de la Meinau.

Julien Stephan - boss of Racing between May 2021 and January 2023 - is now back in Alsace with an away side aiming to build on beating Marseille last time out.

We say: Strasbourg 0-2 Rennes

Strasbourg have been ahead for only 14% of their Ligue 1 fixtures this season - the lowest percentage throughout the division - and they will be up against a much-improved side on Sunday. Another home loss could be the outcome, as Rennes can take more than one route to unlocking their hosts' defence.

Marseille vs. PSG (Sunday, 7.45pm)

One of several blockbuster battles taking place on the Easter weekend, Ligue 1 powerhouses Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain cross paths for the latest instalment of Le Classique on Sunday evening.

Les Olympiens return to their Orange Velodrome base on the back of a two-game losing run, while the reigning champions hit Montpellier HSC for six before the international break.

We say: Marseille 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain

Suffering cruel blow after cruel blow when it comes to the availability of their defenders, Marseille's remarkable run at the Orange Velodrome appears destined to come to an end against the runaway leaders, even if the international break allowed Gasset and co the chance to reset and dissect.

A well-stocked midfield and attack can still ask questions of PSG's own ravaged backline, but Enrique's attackers will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing their injury-hit Classique foes.
