Aiming to bounce back following defeat last weekend, Toulouse will welcome Europa League contenders Lyon to Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday afternoon for an intriguing-looking Ligue 1 clash.

Le Tefece were defeated on their top-flight travels last time out, whilst Les Gones have been busy on their continental adventures this week.

We say: Toulouse 1-2 Lyon

Winning just one of their opening five matches, Toulouse are struggling to reach the heights that they managed last term, and we expect that storyline to strengthen on Sunday.

Lyon are getting a number of key attacking players back to full fitness and should be confident of recording consecutive wins to conclude a productive week.

Nantes are set to take on struggling Saint-Etienne on Sunday afternoon, aiming to continue their phenomenal start to the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season.

The hosts are fifth in the league with eight points after five outings, while the visitors are 17th with just three points from one win and four losses.

We say: Nantes 3-1 Saint-Etienne

The visitors will be extremely low on confidence after their heavy defeat last time out, while the hosts should be in good spirits following their strong start to the campaign.

St Etienne have conceded an astonishing 15 goals in just five league fixtures, something Nantes will be looking to take advantage of, and we expect them to score a number of goals in a comfortable win here.

Angers play host to Reims on Sunday afternoon looking for the win that would likely take them off the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings.

In sharp contrast, the visitors are currently sitting in sixth position, helped by holding champions Paris Saint-Germain last time out.

We say: Angers 1-2 Reims

With both teams having put together unbeaten runs of varying lengths, this could prove to be a lot more competitive than many are anticipating. Nevertheless, boosted by the confidence gained from the PSG game, we are backing the visitors to edge this contest by the odd goal in three.

Marseille will aim to keep pace with the other top teams in Ligue 1 when they travel to Stade de la Meinau on Sunday for a date with Strasbourg.

Heading into this weekend, OM are the joint-leaders in the table following a dramatic 3-2 victory over Lyon, while the side from Alsace are 10th, playing to a 3-3 draw with Lille the last time out.

We say: Strasbourg 1-3 Marseille

These two aggressive sides have some potent attacking pieces, but Marseille have been able to find an extra gear when needed, which is why we are giving them the edge in this encounter.
