Paul Pogba is back at Monaco, so we expect them to challenge for the league, but their main priority will be to be in the Champions League. What about the relegation battle and battling for other European slots? We will bring you weekly predictions on games in the French top-flight football.
Lens v Brest
Ligue One Round Three starts on Friday night with Lens hosting Brest at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The home side has lost two of their last three home games in Ligue One but have won one game already this season to Brest One.
This is a tie that the home side has dominated, having claimed four wins in the last six head-to-head meetings.
· Tip 1: Lens Win
· Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals
· Tip 3: BTTS
Lorient v Lille
This will be one of the toughest contests in round 3, with Lorient looking to build on their last week’s win. Lille are yet to lose this season, but face a side who have won their last three home games. The H2H encounters of this tie make it further difficult to pick an outright winner since Lorient has been a winner in 3 of the last 6 meetings.
· Tip 1: Draw
· Tip 2: Over 1.5 Goals
· Tip 3: Olivier Giroud to Score
Nantes v Auxerre
Nantes have struggled at home in recent games, but they face an equally dismal Auxerre side, who have they have been beaten them three times in their last six meetings.
· Tip 1: Nantes Win
· Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals
· Tip 3: BTTS
Toulouse v PSG
PSG are the book favourites in this game, but they face a Toulouse side who are above them in the league on goal difference. The hosts’ strong start will give them confidence coming into this tie as PSG are still not at their best, having failed to feature in preseason.
· Tip 1: PSG Win
· Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals
· Tip 3: Ousmane Dembele to Score
Angers v Rennes
Both teams have collected the same points in Ligue One this season, but historically, Angers have suffered in this fixture, where they have lost 83% of their last 6 games against Rennes. Expect the same trend to continue in Round Three.
· Tip 1: Rennes Win
· Tip 2: BTTS
· Tip 3: Over 8 corners
Paris FC v Metz
The clash of Ligue One newbies gives Metz an upper hand as they have won four of their last five meetings against Paris. But Metz can cling to the fact that Paris has already lost one away game and see this as an opportunity to pick up points in their quest to stay in Ligue One.
· Tip 1: Metz Win
· Tip 2: Under 2.5 Goals
· Tip 3: Under 1.5 Goals in the First Half
Monaco v Strasbourg
Strasbourg is a tricky side to come against since their uprising last season. They are currently placed fourth on the table with six points but have a poor H2H record against Monaco, who have emerged as winners in 16 of their 28 meetings. Both teams would love to emerge on top in this tie, but this should be another close call despite history favouring Monaco.
· Tip 1: Monaco Win
· Tip 2: BTTS
· Tip 3: Under 2.5 Goals
Le Havre v Nice
Le Havre were lucky to stay in Ligue One last season after a disastrous campaign. While Nice have struggled on the road, this is a fixture they have had an edge. But both teams are looking to turn their season on.
· Tip 1: Nice Win
· Tip 2: BTTS
· Tip 3: Over 2.5 Goals
Lyon v Marseille
These are the two teams that have been backed to challenge PSG for the Ligue 1 title. Lyon has started the season well and sits on top of the league with six points after tw ogames. Marseille have a win and a loss and will be looking to close the gap between them and their opponents, but bookmakers have favoured Lyon to continue with a win as Marseille have a lot of in-house turmoil currently.
· Tip 1: Lyon Win
· Tip 2: BTTS
· Tip 3: Aubameyang to Score
