Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Angers vs. Paris Saint-Germain

Strasbourg vs. Monaco (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Monaco will look to recover from a stuttering run of domestic form when they travel to Strasbourg's fortress of the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Adi Hutter's side have lost back-to-back games in France, but another win in Europe has them on course to finish in the top eight in the league phase of the Champions League.

We say: Strasbourg 2-2 Monaco

Monaco remain in the top three and in good form on the continent, but need to get back on track domestically, and this will be a difficult assignment against a side still unbeaten at home.

After a defeat on the road last week, Strasbourg will feel more secure with home comforts here, and will fancy themselves of taking something, like they did against Marseille.

Lens vs. Nantes (Saturday, 6.00pm)

A fading Lens outfit welcome under-fire Antoine Kombouare's Nantes side to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Will Still has seen his Lens side lose back-to-back games, while former Lens boss Kombouare is in as much danger as any manager in the French top flight of losing his job at present.

We say: Lens 0-0 Nantes

Lens have been very strong at the back, but offer little threat in attack, and that could be costly here in a game they are expected to win.

Kombouare is under pressure, but has only lost one of his 12 matches against his former employers as a manager, and while an elusive win may be beyond them, they could take something here against a feeble Lens side.

Angers vs. PSG (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will have to pick themselves up off the canvas after a late defeat in midweek when they travel to Angers in Ligue 1 on Saturday night.

Luis Enrique's men suffered heartache against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, losing with the last kick of the game in the Champions League, but now face opponents against whom they have an exceptional record.

We say: Angers 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain

With 16 wins in a row against their upcoming opponents, PSG have been handed the perfect fixture to respond to the midweek debacle, and three points are almost a given.

Many will be expecting a home defeat, so Angers may be prioritising the important games they have on the horizon after the international break against Auxerre and Le Havre.
