- Auxerre – Angers (Predictions Today)
Auxerre vs Angers Prediction & Tips
The 3-2 defeat to Lyon on the last matchday has dealt a severe blow to Auxerre’s hopes of escaping the bottom three. Their direct rivals in the relegation battle, Le Havre and Nice, drew, meaning Christophe Pélissier’s side have missed an opportunity to close the gap. They now face the final three matches needing to make up a five-point deficit on Nice, who sit in 15th place. A defeat here could condemn them, at the very least, to the relegation play-offs. Securing automatic survival looks difficult, as they have won just two of their last 17 matches in all competitions (7 draws and 8 defeats). However, Auxerre have been a tough side to beat at home, where they have recently recorded three consecutive clean sheets in Ligue 1 (1 win and 2 draws), something they hadn’t managed for 16 years.
Angers had to bounce back quickly after their heavy 3-0 defeat to PSG last weekend and focus on the task of securing the one point they need to ensure their third consecutive season in Ligue 1. That defeat prolonged their problems in front of goal, as after 31 matches they have the lowest goals tally of the season (26 goals), of which only nine have come away from home. That is one of the reasons why Angers have lost five of their seven away games in Ligue 1 in 2026 (1 win and 1 draw). However, their away record against teams who started the matchday below them in the table (2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat) suggests that this trip should be more manageable.
Auxerre-Win 1.68
- Lille – Le Havre (Predictions Today)
Lille vs Le Havre Prediction & Tips
After defeating Paris FC last week (1-0), fourth-place Lille remains neck and neck with Lyon in the race for a direct spot in the UEFA Champions League. Bruno Génésio’s side trails “Les Gones” in the Ligue 1 standings only due to their inferior head-to-head record. Bruno Génésio’s men have not lost in their last 11 league matches (W7, D4), marking the longest current streak in the division. Four consecutive clean sheets highlight their impressive defensive performance during this stretch. However, one of those came in a scoreless draw against Nice in their last home outing, leaving “Les Dogues” at risk of failing to score in two straight matches at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium for the first time since August 2021.
Le Havre incredibly squandered the lead on four separate occasions against bottom-placed Metz to end up drawing 4-4 last weekend. This means they have not yet secured their survival, as they sit six points above 16th-placed Auxerre with three matches remaining. The “Sky and Navy” side has now gone nine matches without a win (5 draws, 4 losses), their longest winless streak in Ligue 1 since January 2009, though the last four have ended in draws. It seems unlikely that Didier Digard’s men will return to winning ways in this match, having earned only eight of their 31 points on the road this season (1W, 5D, 9L). Furthermore, they have scored just nine goals away from home, the lowest total in the league heading into this matchday.
Lille-Win 1.50
- Nice – Lens (Predictions Today)
Nice vs Lens Prediction & Tips
Nice has moved a little further away from the relegation zone in Ligue 1 after drawing 1-1 against Marseille last weekend, entering this matchday with a five-point lead over the bottom three teams with three games remaining. The “Eagles” seem to have regained their best form at the perfect time, as they are on a four-game unbeaten streak (W1, D3). After three consecutive away matches, they return to the Allianz Riviera aiming to keep this good run going. The Côte d’Azur side hasn’t won at home in Ligue 1 since October (5 draws, 4 losses), marking their longest winless streak in the top flight. Currently, only Burnley and Hellas Verona have worse streaks in Europe’s top five leagues.
Lens came back from a 3-0 deficit to earn a point on their visit to Brest in the last matchday. This draw leaves them six points behind the leader, PSG, as their title hopes fade. The fight isn’t over yet, as the “Blood and Gold” side still has to host PSG in the coming weeks; however, their chances of catching up will be nil if they don’t address their recent defensive frailty, which has led them to concede as many goals in their last five league matches (11) as they did in the previous 15. The visitors’ problems have perhaps been most evident on the road, where they have failed to win any of their last four Ligue 1 matches (D2, L2).
Lens-Win 1.78
- Metz – Monaco (Predictions Today)
Metz vs Monaco Prediction & Tips
Metz’s first season back in Ligue 1 has been extremely tough, and all signs point to them finishing in the bottom two spots—unless they can break their 19-game winless streak in league play (5 draws, 14 losses). Only seven times in Ligue 1 history has a team gone 20 games without a win in a single season, and with seven losses in their last nine home league matches (D2), Metz could become the eighth club to achieve this. Most of those losses have been lopsided, as only two teams in Europe’s top five leagues have conceded more goals at home in 2026 than Metz (16).
Monaco is fighting for European spots, but they aren’t in great form either, having failed to win in their last three Ligue 1 matches (D2, L1)—a surprising slump after a seven-game winning streak. Their recent stumble has all but ended their chances of finishing in the top three, though closing the two-point gap to sixth place before this matchday remains possible. At least, Monaco can rely on their strong away form in the league in 2026 (W3, D3, L1), and considering they haven’t lost this season to any team in the bottom six before this matchday (W6, D5), this match looks favorable on paper.
Monaco-Win 1.38
