Marseille

Marseille

All eyes will be on Stade de la Mosson when Montpellier and Marseille face each other in the opening match of the season. La Paillade were having their ups and downs in pre-season, and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. Experienced defender Mamadou Sakho, who joined the club in the summer transfer window, is likely to make his Ligue 1 debut with Montpell... Read More...

Lille

Lille

Lille start their Ligue 1 title defence at Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien as they take on Metz in the opening match of the season. Les Dogues did well to put an end to PSG’s dominance in the French top flight, but it’s much easier to win the title than to defend one. Veteran attacker Burak Yilmaz, who scored 16 goals in the Ligue 1 last season, will be the man to watch... Read More...

Angers

Angers

Sunday’s football game at Stade de la Meinau pits together Strasbourg and Angers, the two teams who finished the last season in the bottom half of the table. Strasbourg aim to make amends for the unsuccessful Ligue 1 campaign, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at les Scoistes. Star signing Kevin Gameiro is likely to make his Strasbourg debut against An... Read More...

Lorient

Lorient

Stade Geoffroy-Guichard will host Sunday’s football game between St Etienne and Lorient, the two teams who have been always meeting in high-scoring encounters. St Etienne were anything but impressive in pre-season, and given their shaky defence, we do not believe that home win should be considered. It has to be noted, though, that the club chiefs did well to keep hold of k... Read More...

Reims

Reims

Nice play host to Reims at their Allianz Riviera in the opening game of the new Ligue 1 campaign. Les Aiglons finished the last season in 9th position in the standings, and, no doubt, they are eyeing yet another top-ten finish. Kasper Dolberg, who impressed at the 2020 EURO finals, will be the man to watch in the home team, while new signings Rosario, Stengs, Lemina, and Klu... Read More...

Clermont

Bordeaux will be aiming to kick off the new Ligue 1 campaign in great manner when they host Clermont at their Stade Matmut Atlantique on Sunday afternoon. Les Girondins are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Vladimir Petkovic’s troops. The experienced tactician is on a quest to bring glory days back to Matmut... Read More...

Lens

Lens

Rennes and Lens go head to head at Roazhon Park in a highly-anticipated season opener. Rennes have big ambitions for the 2021/2022 Ligue 1 campaign, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Les Rouges et Noirs are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and we are positive that they will find the net in the season opener.

PSG

PSG kick off the new Ligue 1 campaign with a match against Troyes at Stade de l’Aube. The club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad, with the likes of Donnarruma, Hakimi, Ramos, and Wijnaldum joining the French vice-champions. Despite failing to impress at the 2020 EURO finals, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Kylian Mbappe, who scored 27 goals in the Lig... Read More...

Brest

Olympique Lyon will be looking to kick off the new Ligue 1 campaign in style when they take on Brest at Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Les Gones were struggling at the back in pre-season, with the team conceding 10 goals in total in the previous three warm-up games, but they are still seen as favourites to win the season opener.

Memphis Depay is no longer part of the team,... Read More...

All eyes will be on Stade Louis II when Monaco kick off the new Ligue 1 campaign with a match against Nantes. Les Rouges et Blancs are on a quest to regain the domestic trophy, but seeing that their bitter rivals PSG reinforced the squad in the summer transfer window, that is easier said than done. Stevan Jovetic is no longer part of the team, but the likes of Wissam Ben Yed... Read More...
