PSG are once again sitting on the top spot in Ligue 1's standing after winning important first points in some high-scoring matches.

Dijon FCO - Nîmes Olympique

Dijon FCO will probably remain winless in their next home match against Nîmes Olympique.

• Dijon FCO are on a losing streak of 4 straight matches in Ligue 1.
• Dijon FCO have not been able to score a goal in their 3 most recent matches in Ligue 1.
• Nîmes's form hasn't been good, as the team has won only 1 of their last 9 away matches (Ligue 1).
• There have been over 2.5 goals in 11 of Nîmes Olympique's 12 most recent games in Ligue 1.
• Prediction: Nîmes Olympique @ 2.55

Montpellier HSC - OGC Nice

The start of the new season hasn't been in favour of Montpellier HSC, who have achieved just one win, losing two matches along the way.

Unfortunately for the home side, OGC Nice have won their last 2 away fixtures from the new season and will try not to miss any points against a hesitant rival.

• Montpellier HSC have managed just 1 wins in their last 6 league games.
• Montpellier HSC are conceding an average of 0.50 goals in home Ligue 1 games.
• OGC Nice have managed to win in only 1 of their 12 most recent away clashes with Montpellier HSC in Ligue 1.

• Prediction: OGC Nice @ 4.20

AS Saint-Étienne - Toulouse FC

Disappointing start of the new season for AS Saint-Étienne, who lost their 2 most recent matches from the league.

On Sunday, they will have the chance to continue their successful run of wins against Toulouse FC, having also in mind their home advantage.

• Saint-Étienne haven't lost in 5 of their last 6 home games in Ligue 1.
• AS Saint-Étienne have achieved 3 wins by 2+ goals in their last 5 home matches in Ligue 1.
• Toulouse have achieved just 1 wins in their 11 most recent away games in Ligue 1.
• Toulouse FC have a poor record of 7 losses in their last 10 away matches in Ligue 1.
• Prediction: AS Saint-Étienne @ 1.65

AS Monaco - Olympique Marseille

In another Sunday fixture, AS Monaco will try to take at least a point against Olympique Marseille.

Last season was full of problems for Les Monégasques, who are once again on a verge of relegation.

• AS Monaco are in an unfortunate period, having won just 1 of their last 13 matches in Ligue 1.
• AS Monaco have lost by 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 5 league games.
• Marseille have achieved just 1 wins of their last 8 games against AS Monaco in Ligue 1.
• A streak of unfortunate defence displays where Olympique Marseille have conceded at least 1 goal makes up their last 12 atches against AS Monaco in Ligue 1.
• Prediction: Olympique Marseille @ 2.80
