Le Havre are bottom of the Ligue 1 table, with zero wins, two draws, and seven defeats from nine games this season. They’re coming off a 5-1 defeat to PSG, which extended their losing streak to five matches, so they could be low on confidence. Lorient are firmly ensconced in mid-table, with three wins, three draws, and three defeats so far, and they look superior to Le Havre. Recent victories over in-form teams like Monaco and Paris FC suggest that they can win this game.

This should be a complete mismatch. PSG are on an eight-game winning streak, which includes impressive victories over Man City, Barcelona, and Lyon. The Parisians are top of the Ligue 1 table, and they’re all but certain to win a sixth consecutive title this season. Le Havre are bottom of the table, with zero wins, two draws, and six defeats from eight games. They lost 3-0 on their last trip to the Parc des Princes, and they could suffer another heavy defeat this time around.

Lille are top of the Ligue 1 table after picking up three wins and a draw from four games so far this season. They've scored seven goals and only conceded twice, as they look strong in all departments. Nice are rock bottom of the league table, with zero wins, two draws, and two defeats. They've only found the back of the net once, which doesn't augur well for their chances of beating this dangerous Lille team.

Lille have won their last four games against Toulouse. The teams last met in Toulouse on April 12, and Lille cruised to a 4-0 victory. They lost a couple of key players this summer, as Ayyoub Bouaddi moved to Man City and Matias Fernandez-Pardo joined Newcastle, but they also bolstered their squad with some interesting signings. Lille have made a strong start to the new season, beating Angers 2-0 and then drawing 2-2 with the mighty PSG. Meanwhile, Toulouse are winless, with one draw and one defeat from two games so far.

Rennes made a superb start to the new Ligue 1 season when they drew 2-2 with European champions PSG last weekend. They should maintain the momentum by beating newly promoted Le Mans in front of their home fans on Sunday. Le Mans picked up a 2-2 draw with Brest last weekend, but they allowed Brest to have 17 shots in that game. Brest’s finishing was poor, whereas Rennes’ forwards are clinical in front of goal, so they look capable of winning this game.

Toulouse and Marseille played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the French Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday night. It went to a penalty shootout, which Toulouse won. The teams will renew hostilities immediately on Saturday, when they meet in the league, and it should be another entertaining game. Matches featuring Marseille have averaged 3.50 goals this season, with two-thirds of them going over 2.5 goals. Toulouse’s home games have averaged 3.00 goals, so over 2.5 goals looks like a great bet on this match.

Monaco were unlucky to lose 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in the Champions League playoffs last month. They were 2-1 up in the home leg, but Alexandr Golovin was sent off, and they ended up losing 3-2. Monaco then drew 2-2 with PSG in Paris, despite having Mamadou Coulibaly sent off on 58 minutes. Once again, they were winning when he was shown a red card. If they can keep 11 players on the pitch, they could give PSG a run for their money on Friday. Monaco are unbeaten in their last six league games, so they should be competitive.

PSG should extend their winning streak to eight league games when they take on Rennes today. The Parisians have the best away record in Ligue 1, with seven wins from 11 games on the road this season. They have also dominated Rennes in recent years. It finished 5-0 to PSG when these teams met in Paris a couple of month ago, and PSG beat Rennes 4-1 away last season. They’re surging with momentum right now, whereas Rennes will be missing several key defenders through injury, so PSG should win this one pretty comfortably.

Strasbourg should be full of confidence after beating Crystal Palace in midweek. Their Ligue 1 form has been inconsistent, but they boast a strong home record this season. They’ve won 5 out of 6 games at Stade de la Meinau, with 13 goals scored and just 2 conceded. Meanwhile, Brest have gone backwards this season. They’re 14th in the Ligue 1 table, 8 points behind Strasbourg, and they’ve lost 4 out of 6 away games. They suffered a 3-0 defeat at Marseille in their last away match, which doesn’t bode well.

Toulouse have scored 2.6 goals per game at home this season. Only PSG and Monaco have scored more goals in front of their home fans than Les Violets. They should have enough firepower to beat Le Havre at Stadium de Toulouse this weekend. Le Havre are in form right now, but they’ve conceded 2 goals per game on the road. That doesn’t bode well for a game against free-scoring Toulouse. It’s also worth noting that Toulouse beat Le Havre home and away last season by an aggregate scoreline of 6-1.

Monaco look capable of extending their unbeaten streak to seven games when they host newly promoted Paris FC at Stade Louis II this weekend. They’re up to second in the Ligue 1 table after beating Toulouse and Nantes in their last two matches. Monaco are very strong at home, with four wins and a draw from five games this season. Paris FC have lost three of their five away games. They’re on a three-game winless streak, and they could struggle at Stade Louis II.

Monaco were desperately unlucky in their 0-0 draw with Tottenham in midweek. They battered their opponents, but Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made a string of sensational saves. Monaco’s players will be disappointed by the result, but they should return to winning ways this weekend. They’ve picked up three wins and a draw from four home games this season, and they should have enough quality to beat a distinctly average Toulouse team.

Marseille will be surging with momentum after winning their last four games. Les Olympiens beat the mighty PSG, secured a 2-1 win against title contenders Strasbourg, thumped Ajax 4-0, and beat Metz 3-0 on the road. They’re the top-scoring team in Ligue 1 this season, with a +10 goal difference, and they should be too strong for Le Havre. Marseille have won their last nine games against Le Havre, and they should extend that impressive record on Saturday.
