Keep reading for our best bets for the upcoming weekend of top-flight soccer in France.
Friday, September 26 – 8:45pm CEST – Stade de la Meinau
Marseille’s press and wide overloads travel well, creating cutbacks and set-piece chances. Strasbourg struggle to progress through midfield and often rely on low-quality crosses in attack. If the visitors score first, their compact back line and ball security should see it out, despite Strasbourg winning four of their first five league matches.
Saturday, September 27 – 5pm CEST – Stade du Moustoir
Ansu Fati scored on his Monaco debut in the Champions League at Club Brugge, then came off the bench to hit a late brace in a 5–2 win over Metz last weekend. That sharpness, plus Monaco’s service from wide areas, makes him a strong anytime goalscorer play on the road against Lorient.
Saturday, September 27 – 7pm CEST – Stadium de Toulouse
Toulouse have started steady with two wins from five and are scoring reliably at home. Nantes, meanwhile, have taken no points and scored no goals across their first two Ligue 1 away matches, conceding goals in each trip. If recent form continues, Toulouse should record a comfortable win.
Saturday, September 27 – 9:05pm CEST – Parc des Princes
Paris Saint-Germain should roll Auxerre home. They’ve disposed of recent opponents at Parc des Princes, winning 2–0 against Lens and 4–0 in the UCL against Atalanta, and typically generate waves of chances. Auxerre’s away form this season is poor so far — zero points from two trips, conceding two goals per game and often falling behind early.
Sunday, September 28 – 3pm CEST – Allianz Riviera
Nice keep games cagey at home with a compact back line and patient buildup. Paris FC travel conservatively, sitting deep and creating few clear chances. With both sides prioritizing shape over risk and most chances likely from set pieces, this profiles as a low-event match.
Sunday, September 28 – 5:15pm CEST – Decathlon Arena
Lille are strong at home under Bruno Genesio, controlling territory and creating steady chances from their wingers and set pieces. Lyon’s away form is traditionally fragile, with defensive lapses when pressed and limited shot quality in transition. With Lyon on a quick backup following Europa League action on Thursday, Lille should be winning this at home.
Sunday, September 28 – 5:15pm CEST – Stade Raymond-Kopa
Ludovic Ajorque arrives at Stade Raymond-Kopa with plenty of confidence. He just put up a one goal and three assist masterclass in Brest’s 4–1 win over Nice on September 20, drifting off the center-backs and bullying the box. With confidence on his side, he looks great value with top sports betting sites for Ajorque to find the back of the net.
Sunday, September 28 – 5:15pm CEST – Stade Saint-Symphorien
Metz struggled to pull away at home last time, sharing the points 1–1 against Angers on September 14, while Le Havre just shared the points with Lorient at home. With limited chance creation and set pieces likely deciding territory, it is hard to split these two.
Sunday, September 28 – 8:45pm CEST – Roazhon Park
Rennes matches have opened up lately, winning 3–1 at home against Lyon and 2-2 away at Nantes, with chances flowing from wide rotations and set pieces. Lens just hit Lille 3–0 after creating plenty in transition and will remain aggressive even on the road. With both sides trading high-value looks, the Matchday 6 closer projects as a shootout.
