Sunday's Ligue 1 predictions including Marseille vs. Strasbourg

sportsmole.co.uk, 19 January 2025, 06:20
St Etienne vs. Nantes (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Two relegation candidates meet in Ligue 1 on Sunday, as St-Etienne host Nantes in a six-pointer near the bottom of the table.

Heading into the weekend, the visitors sit just above their hosts on goal difference in the standings, leaving everything to play for at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

We say: Saint-Etienne 2-1 Nantes

Having been knocked out of the Coupe de France by Marseille in December, the hosts will be more fresh than a Nantes team that played in the cup in midweek.

Therefore, we think that St Etienne will win a close game against a side that struggle to win matches on their travels.

Reims vs. Le Havre (Sunday, 4.15pm)

Looking to distance themselves from an unthinkable relegation battle, Reims will welcome second-tier bound Le Havre to Stade Auguste-Delaune for a Ligue 1 contest on Sunday afternoon.

Les Rouges et Blancs are aiming to avoid three straight defeats in the top flight following a loss to Nice last time out, whilst Le Club Doyen are fighting to end a worrying losing run at the top table of French football.

We say: Reims 2-1 Le Havre

With their most recent Ligue 1 success coming against Le Havre all the way back in November, Reims will be desperate to repeat the trick on Sunday afternoon following a worrying string of results.

Le Club Doyen need to start throwing some punches in the top-tier survival scrap, although we feel that the visitors will be unable to do so at Stade Auguste-Delaune.

Angers vs. Auxerre (Sunday, 4.15pm)

Angers host Auxerre this weekend as they look to climb up the Ligue 1 table, away from the relegation fight.

With only three points and three places separating the two sides in the standings, there is plenty of incentive for both sides to claim victory this weekend.

We say: Angers 1-1 Auxerre

Auxerre have not won in over two months, and with the visitors having a number of injury concerns this weekend, they will not be at full strength.

We think that this game will end in a draw, as Angers look to extend their unbeaten start to the new year.

Marseille vs. Strasbourg (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Marseille will look to keep a firm grip on their place in the top three when they welcome Strasbourg to the Stade Velodrome in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Form, especially at home, has improved dramatically in recent weeks for Roberto De Zerbi's second-placed side, as they have opened up a healthy gap to the sides below.

We say: Marseille 3-1 Strasbourg

Home form has picked up after a dreadful start saw Marseille take just five points from their first five games at the Velodrome this season, and another success could be on the way.

Strasbourg are in excellent form, but the teams they have beaten recently have not been on Marseille's level, and their 28-year wait for a win here is set to go on.
