Ligue 1 Sunday: Predictions & Previews, Featuring PSG vs. Lyon

Sunday’s slate in France will feature several decisive Ligue 1 clashes. Our Ligue 1 Sunday: Predictions & Previews, Featuring PSG vs. Lyon, examines five matches that could shape the table.

Monaco vs Auxerre — Stade Louis II

Monaco enter this game in seventh place after a heavy 4-1 loss to Paris FC. Auxerre sit inside the relegation playoff zone following a 0-0 draw with Nantes.

Prediction: Monaco 3-1 Auxerre

Monaco possess creative midfielders and a hot striker in Balogun. Auxerre can frustrate opponents but lack consistent goal threat. That should give Monaco the edge at home.

Strasbourg vs Rennes — Stade de la Meinau

Strasbourg arrive buoyed by a recent European victory. Rennes have won three straight away matches and chase a Champions League spot.

Prediction: Strasbourg 2-1 Rennes

Seven points separate the sides in the table, making this game crucial for European ambitions. Strasbourg’s home form and momentum may be decisive.

Nantes vs Brest — Stade de la Beaujoire

Nantes lie second from bottom after a goalless draw with Auxerre. Brest sit 11th, coming off a narrow 4-3 loss at home to Rennes.

Prediction: Nantes 0-2 Brest

Nantes show improved spirit under Halilhodzic but remain blunt in attack. Brest’s sharper finishing could settle this relegation battle.

Metz vs Paris FC — Stade Saint-Symphorien

Metz occupy last place with five games remaining. They sit 13 points from safety and nine short of a playoff spot.

Prediction: Metz 1-1 Paris FC

Metz had back-to-back draws before losing to Marseille, showing some resilience. Paris FC often draw away, so a stalemate looks plausible here.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Lyon — Parc des Princes

PSG host Lyon hoping to hold the top spot. The champions are one point clear of Lens after a 3-1 win over Toulouse earlier this month.

Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Lyon

Lyon sit fifth after a 2-0 victory over Lorient and are difficult to break down defensively. PSG’s recent defensive solidity and opportunism should hand them a narrow win.
