Sunday's Ligue 1 predictions including Nantes vs. Marseille

sportsmole.co.uk, 3 November 2024, 06:10
Toulouse vs. Reims (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Looking to record back-to-back wins, Toulouse will welcome Reims to Stadium de Toulouse for a Ligue 1 clash to commence their November calendar on Sunday afternoon.

Les Violets are aiming to build some positive momentum as winter approaches, whilst Les Rouges et Blanc are aiming to end a worrying losing run.

We say: Toulouse 1-1 Reims

Coming into this clash off the back of an away victory, Toulouse should be confident of earning another three points on Sunday afternoon.

That being said, Reims are likely to have the quality on the counter to hurt their hosts, so we are expecting a hard-fought share of the spoils between the sides.

Auxerre vs. Rennes (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Aiming to extend their unbeaten run to three matches, Auxerre will welcome Europe-chasing Rennes to Stade de I'Abbe Deschamps on Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.

AJA secured a share of the spoils at the home of Lyon last time out, whilst Les Rouge et Noirs managed a narrow success over Le Havre on home soil.

We say: Auxerre 1-2 Rennes

Earning a highly-respectable point at Lyon last time out, Auxerre should be looking to earn maximum points in front of their home faithful this weekend.

That being said, visitors Rennes possess an abundance of attacking quality which could turn out to be too much for the newly-promoted outfit to handle on Sunday.

Le Havre vs. Montpellier (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Looking to bounce back following another loss last time out, Le Havre will welcome Montpellier HSC to Stade Oceane on Sunday afternoon for a Ligue 1 clash.

Les Ciel et Marine were defeated narrowly on the road last weekend, whilst La Paillade suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Toulouse on home soil.

We say: Le Havre 1-0 Montpellier HSC

After a narrow defeat at the home of Rennes last time out, Le Havre should be confident of picking up a positive result on home turf against Ligue 1's bottom club.

Montpellier have been terrible since returning from the last international break, and we expect that downwards trend to continue for the visitors to Stade Oceane this weekend.

Nantes vs. Marseille (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Reeling from a heavy defeat to Classique rivals Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille have some Ligue 1 wrongs to right when they visit the Stade de la Beaujoire to take on Nantes on Sunday.

Roberto De Zerbi's team were subjected to a 3-0 beatdown at the hands of PSG last weekend, while their hosts also fell short away to Strasbourg, suffering a 3-1 defeat.

We say: Nantes 1-3 Marseille

While Marseille's tally of four away wins is the second-most in Europe's big five leagues in 2024, no team in the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A, La Liga or Bundesliga has fewer than Nantes' one home victory in the whole of 2024.

Another miserable Beaujoire outing surely awaits for the Canaris faithful, whose side are adept at finding the back of the net, but Marseille's rampant attackers will surely expose their defensive vulnerabilities time and time again.
