23/10/19 3613

French Ligue 1 has never been more interesting, as the current standing is quite unusual with FC Nantes and Stade Reims sitting respectively on the second and third place, while team like Lyon is playing below par.

Strasbourg - OGC Nice

The last in the standing Strasbourg will face another underperforming team of OGC Nice.

OGC Nice are showing much better results than their opponent, but their form in the last matches, has been more than unpleasant.

• Strasbourg have failed to score in 6 of their last 9 matches in Ligue 1.
• In their last 26 games in Ligue 1, Strasbourg have recorded only 4 wins.
• OGC Nice are on a losing streak of 3 straight away matches in Ligue 1.
• OGC Nice have won just 3 of their last 17 away matches in Ligue 1.
• Prediction: Strasbourg @ 1.99

Montpellier HSC - Angers SCO

Angers SCO's recent setbacks led to their collapsing down to the 5th position.

This time they will travel to meet Montpellier HSC, which will be probably another tough match, that will be presumably a home win.

• In their 23 most recent home matches of Ligue 1, Montpellier HSC have been undefeated 20 times.
• The team of Montpellier HSC have achieved 4 straight home wins in Ligue 1.
• Angers have won by 2+ goals 5 of their last 10 Ligue 1 games.
• Unfortunately for Angers SCO they have lost 4 of their 5 most recent away matches (Ligue 1).
• Prediction: Montpellier HSC @ 2.20

Stade Rennais - Toulouse FC

This season has been rather disappointing for Stade Rennais, who along with Lyon and Lille OSC, is standing far from his usual performance.

On Sunday they will face Toulouse FC, whose intentions will be to get at least a point from this away fixture.

• Stade Rennais are undefeated at half time in their last 16 home Ligue 1 games in a row.
• In their last 8 home Ligue 1 games, Stade Rennais have a record of 4 draws.
• Toulouse have achieved just 3 wins in their 22 most recent away games in Ligue 1.
• Stade Rennais haven't suffered any defeats in 14 of their 17 most recent home meetings with Toulouse FC in Ligue 1.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.40

AS Saint-Étienne - Amiens SC

After getting back to their best form, AS Saint-Étienne will try this time to beat Amiens SC.

The away side have been showing mixed results, as they have been undefeated for three rounds now and will surely be well prepared for this encounter.

• Saint-Étienne have won their last 3 Ligue 1 games in a row.
• AS Saint-Étienne are on a successful run of 3 games in Ligue 1 where they have kept a clean sheet.
• Amiens SC's form hasn't been good, as the team has won only 3 of their last 24 away matches (Ligue 1).
