Nice – Lille: Nice was coming from 4 consecutive wins in which it scored 17 times and conceded 4 goals before suffering a 3-1 away defeat from Ajaccion in its last game. It is very much worth noting that all of these 5 games have ended with a goal/goal & over 3.5 goals outcome. Lille has had 4 draws and 1 defeat in 5 away games this season and has scored just 6 times in a total of 11 games but it has also just conceded 7 goals in them.
Monaco – Angers: Monaco has managed 2 1-0 wins in its last 2 games, against Qarabag at home for the Europa League competition and against Rennes away from home for the league. It is worth noting that Monaco has had 2 wins and 3 draws in its last 5 games in the league but it hasn’t managed a win in its 5 so far home games in the league, including 3 draws and 2 defeats. Angers is by far the most positive surprise team in this season’s league, with 6 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in 11 games and is also coming from an undefeated run in the league, including 4 wins and 2 draws in its last 6 games.
Nantes – Marseille: Nantes is coming from 3 consecutive wins in the league, keeping a clean sheet in all of them while it has kept a clean sheet in the 3 wins that it has managed in its 5 so far home games in the league. Marseille completed 7 games in all competitions without a win, before beating Lille with 1-2 away from home in its last game in the league. In general however, the team has had a very average presence so far this season, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in 11 games.
