Ligue 1 Data and Betting Tips
Friday, January 10
Nantes vs. Monaco – Double Chance: Away Win or Draw
Monaco has consistently dominated Nantes in Ligue 1 encounters. Since 2018, these two teams have clashed 12 times, with Monaco remaining unbeaten in all meetings. This Friday’s game at the Stade de la Beaujoire-Louis-Fonteneau poses a tough challenge for Antoine Kombouaré and his team, who must find a way to counter Monaco’s strong form.
Auxerre vs. Lille – Double Chance: Away Win or Draw Lille fans have enjoyed a remarkable run, with their team currently unbeaten in 12 Ligue 1 matches. Bruno Génésio’s squad will look to extend this streak as they face Auxerre at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps. Backing Lille in the double chance market offers value, with odds around 1.25.
Saturday, January 11
Brest vs. Lyon – Over/Under 1.5 Goals: Over Brest’s last six Ligue 1 games have seen at least two goals scored in each match. This trend suggests an exciting clash when they host Lyon on Saturday afternoon. Fans can anticipate another high-scoring encounter.
Reims vs. Nice – Both Teams to Score: Yes Nice games have been thrilling for neutral fans, as both teams have scored in their last six Ligue 1 matches. Expect a competitive and attacking matchup when they visit Reims this Saturday evening.
Rennes vs. Marseille – Double Chance: Away Win or Draw Marseille, under Roberto De Zerbi, has developed a reputation for consistency, remaining unbeaten in their last five Ligue 1 fixtures. Rennes will need to be at their absolute best to disrupt Marseille’s momentum in this showdown at Roazhon Park.
Sunday, January 12
Le Havre vs. Lens – Over/Under 3.5 Goals: Under Lens will travel to Le Havre on Sunday afternoon, with predictions leaning towards a low-scoring affair. Historical data and recent form suggest the game is likely to feature fewer than 3.5 goals, potentially ending in a tight victory or even a draw.
Montpellier vs. Angers – Double Chance: Away Win or Draw Montpellier’s form has been underwhelming, with no wins in their last five Ligue 1 outings. Coach Michel Der Zakarian must rally his team quickly. However, Angers could capitalize on this poor run when they meet at the Stade de la Mosson.
Toulouse vs. Strasbourg – Over/Under 3.5 Goals: Under Toulouse matches in Ligue 1 have rarely exceeded three goals this season, with 13 of their games showcasing fewer than three strikes. When they host Strasbourg on Sunday, bettors may find value in wagering on another low-scoring encounter.
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Saint-Étienne – Double Chance: Home Win or Draw PSG has been a fortress in Ligue 1, boasting an 18-game unbeaten streak. Coach Luis Martínez García’s side will aim to extend their dominance at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night, facing a Saint-Étienne team struggling to pose a real threat.
Friday, January 17

Saturday, January 18
Lens vs. Paris Saint-Germain – Over/Under 2.5 Goals Lens has been synonymous with low-scoring games this season, with 12 of their Ligue 1 fixtures featuring under 2.5 goals. While PSG’s attacking prowess could break this pattern, Lens might manage to keep the scoreline tight yet again.
Lyon vs. Toulouse – Double Chance: Home Win or Draw Lyon has dominated Toulouse in recent years, remaining unbeaten in their last 16 encounters since 2015. This history favors Lyon as they welcome Toulouse to the Groupama Stadium on Saturday.
Sunday, January 19

Reims vs. Le Havre – Both Teams to Score: No Le Havre has featured in the most Ligue 1 matches where one or both teams fail to score this season, with 11 of their 16 games ending this way. Expect a closely fought contest at Stade Auguste-Delaune where goals may come at a premium.
Marseille vs. Strasbourg – Double Chance: Away Win or Draw Strasbourg has been a tough opponent for Marseille, avoiding defeat in their last five encounters since 2022. Roberto De Zerbi’s side will face a stiff challenge at the Stade Vélodrome in this intriguing Sunday clash.
