Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Nice vs. Paris Saint-Germain

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for both of today's Ligue 1 fixtures - Lens vs. Brest and Nice vs. Paris Saint-Germain.

Lens will endeavour to boost their hopes of European qualification when Brest pay a visit to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis for Saturday's Ligue 1 showdown.

Sang et Or ran out 2-1 winners at Angers last time out, while Michel Der Zakarian's side fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Lorient.

We say: Lens 2-0 Brest


Whether Lens have the wherewithal to sustain a European charge for the entirety of the season remains to be seen, but Haise's side are well-stocked and resilient if nothing else in front of their own fans.

Brest's inconsistency - and especially their poor form on the road - continues to hamper their top-half aspirations, and we can only picture Sang et Or emerging victorious on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Nice vs. PSG (Saturday, 8.00pm)

First meets third in Saturday's Ligue 1 showdown at the Allianz Riviera, as Nice play host to runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain in the evening.

Les Aiglons head into this game having just reached the Coupe de France final, while PSG ran out 3-1 winners over Saint-Etienne last week.

We say: Nice 1-1 Paris Saint-Germain


The absence of proven goal-getter Mbappe is huge for PSG, and attempting to breach a resilient Nice rearguard away from home without their top scorer will be a tall order for Pochettino's side.

While we do expect PSG to find a way through, Galtier's side know what it takes to get a result against the capital outfit and will be buoyed by reaching the final of the Coupe de France, so we are expecting the two top-three sides to play out a hotly-contested draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
