Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Marseille vs. Saint-Etienne

Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Saturday's Ligue 1 fixtures - Nice vs. Bordeaux and Marseille vs. Saint-Etienne.

Fresh from the drama of their most recent game, Nice welcome Bordeaux to the Allianz Riviera for their Ligue 1 clash on Saturday.

With this weekend's game now confirmed to be played behind closed doors after the ugly scenes in the match against Marseille, the home side will be looking to create headlines on the pitch rather than off it.

We say: Nice 1-1 Bordeaux


It is a tough call to make without knowing how the Nice players will be affected by the events of the past week, but Bordeaux have played out four draws in their last six games and have also drawn three of their last four meetings with Nice.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Marseille vs. St Etienne (Saturday, 8.00pm)

As the dust begins to settle on the drama Marseille experienced in their trip to Nice last weekend, they now welcome Saint-Etienne to the Orange Velodrome on Saturday.

After the abandonment of their previous game, this will effectively be the hosts' third match of the season, but they are nonetheless three spots above their opponents in the standings.

We say: Marseille 2-1 Saint-Etienne


Marseille should be fired up by the ongoing war of words with Nice and, as long as they can keep focused and channel that into a positive performance, they should have enough to get the better of a still unconvincing Saint-Etienne side.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
