Today's Ligue 1 predictions include a clash between Nice and Strasbourg, a game between struggling Troyes and Marseille, and a trip to Rennes for Auxerre.
Nice vs. Strasbourg (Sunday, 2pm)
Nice can equal their longest Ligue 1 winning run of 2026 with a victory on Sunday over Strasbourg at Alliaz Riviera in the south of France.
In their last outing, Le Gym surprised Lille 2-1 to move up to 14th in the table, while Strasbourg sit eighth after a 2-1 loss to Paris FC.
We say: Nice 1-1 Strasbourg
Nice have likely gained some confidence from their matchday five performance, and while Strasbourg are a resilient bunch too, we believe the home side can hold them off and take a point.
Rennes vs. Auxerre (4.15pm)
Hoping to remain unbeaten at home this season, Rennes will return to Roazhon Park to face Auxerre in Ligue 1 action on Sunday.
The last time out, Stade Rennais dropped to fifth after losing 4-0 at Lyon, while Auxerre moved up to 10th with a 2-1 win over Brest.
We say: Rennes 2-0 Auxerre
This will be a true test of how far the Auxerre backline have come, and we believe their defensive inexperience will show against a dynamic attacking side like Rennes who boast plenty of quality.
Troyes vs. Marseille (7.45pm)
Meeting on the Ligue 1 stage for the first time in over three years, Marseille travel to Stade de l’Aube on Sunday to face Troyes.
Both teams have struggled out of the gate in 2026-27, with ESTAC third from the bottom after a 2-0 loss at Angers on matchday five, and OM a point below them after a narrow 2-1 defeat versus Paris Saint-Germain.
We say: Troyes 0-3 Marseille
This could be the match where Marseille let all of their frustrations out, as they have a strong track record against Troyes and the resources to expose them early and often.
