Brest

Brest

Lens play host to Brest their Stade Bollaert-Delelis in the opening match of the season. The Yellow-Reds have established themselves as a top-table side in the Ligue 1, and, no doubt, the team’s main goal is to represent France in European competitions next term.

Nantes

Nantes

Stade Raymond-Kopa will host Sunday’s Ligue 1 opener between Angers and Nantes. Les Scoistes experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 6-0 loss to Sevilla, but they played out a 2-2 draw with Spezia in their last warm-up game. Since midfielder Nabil Bentaleb misses the opening match of the season through suspension, we are not tempted to put our money on the home ... Read More...

Nice

Toulouse and Nice go head to head at Stadium Municipal in the opening match of the season. Toulouse were scoring goals for fun in pre-season, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash.

AC Ajaccio

Lyon will look to make a flying start to the new Ligue 1 campaign when they host Ajaccio to their Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Friday evening. Les Gones did well to hold star-studded Inter to a 2-2 draw in their last warm-up game, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Ajaccio. It has to be noted that the club chiefs have added the likes of ... Read More...

Auxerre

A spot in the Ligue 1 will be at stake when St. Etienne and Auxerre face each other at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Sunday. Les Verts were on the verge of beating the Ligue 2 side in the first leg, but les Diplomates eventually scored a late equalizer to grab something from the match.

Auxerre and St Etienne, the two famous French clubs, go head to head at Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps in the Ligue 1 relegation final, first leg.
