France Ligue 1 picks 14-15/8

Saturday:

Brest vs Auxerre

I believe newly-promoted Brest will struggle in this one against Auxerre. I expect many goals as well.

Over 2.5 goals.

Lorient vs Nice

Both opened the season with a draw. Lorient won 4-1 here last season and could manage to win again.

Lorient win.

Monaco vs Montpellier

Montpellier managed to beat Bordeaux in their first game of the season and could manage a good result in this one as well.

Over 2.5 goals.

Nancy vs Rennes

Nancy have had a good start to the season but lost 1-2 in this meeting last season. Should be close.

Under 2.5 goals.

St Etienne vs Sochaux

Sochaux managed a good start to the season and managed a goalless game here last season.

Under 2.5 goals.

Valenciennes vs Marseille

Marseille lost their opening game of the season and Valenciennes managed a 3-2 win here last season.

Over 2.5 goals.

AC Arles vs Lens

Both were involved in games with more than 2.5 goals in their first game of the season.

Over 2.5 goals.

Sunday:

Bordeaux vs Toulouse

Toulouse won their opening game of the season while Bordeaux lost against Montpellier.

Under 2.5 goals.

Caen vs Lyon

Lyon won both meetings between these two last season and I believe they could manage to do the same this time aorund.

Lyon win.

Lille vs PSG

Lille won 3-1 in their meeting with PSG last season and I believe this will be a tough one for PSG.

Lille win.
