Top French Ligue 1 Games to Watch This Week (March 12th – 13th)
OGC Nice +129 vs Montpellier HSC +200
- When: Saturday, March 12
Montpellier is in awful form. The home squad has lost 4-of-5. The lone victory in the last 5 happened on Feb. 20 in a 1-0 match against Lorient.
Nice has won 3-of-5 with a draw and a loss. The road chalk beat Paris Saint-Germain on March 5, proving they’re one of Ligue 1’s top teams. The odds make Nice an overlay.
Soccer Pick: OGC Nice
FC Nantes +148 vs Estac Troyes +185
- When: Saturday, March 12
Troyes played great in their last, beating Bordeuax 2-0. But although the home team looks strong, it’s difficult to go against the road favorite.
Nantes has won 4-of-5 with a draw. The draw happened in a 0-0 game versus Metz. On March 6, Nantes beat Montpellier 2-0. The road team is in great form. Give Nantes the nod.
Soccer Pick: Nantes
Girondins Bordeaux +2 ½ -135 vs Paris Saint-Germain -2 ½ -102
- When: Sunday, March 13
PSG has lost 3-of-4. The lone victory happened in a 3-1 match versus Saint-Etienne on Feb. 26.
Bordeaux is playing awful, but Paris shouldn’t come close covering this handicap. In their last, Real Madrid blasted PSG 3-1, ending Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League quest. The road team won’t win. They will cover the handicap.
Soccer Pick: Girondins Bordeaux
AS Monaco +185 vs Strasbourg Alsace +145
- When: Sunday, March 13
The home favorite is in decent form. Strasbourg has drawn in 3 straight. Before the draws, the home team had beaten Nantes and Angers by 1-0 scores.
Monaco heads into this off a 1-0 victory against Marseille. Although Monaco has a shot, these two drew 1-1 in the last head-to-head. Because this happens on Strasbourg’s pitch, the home chalk is the choice.
Soccer Pick: Strasbourg Alsace
Stade Rennes +215 vs Olympique Lyon +114
- When: Sunday, March 13
Lyon has won 3-of-5 with a loss and a draw. The loss happened in a 1-0 contest versus Lille on Feb. 27.
Since then, Lyon has beaten Lorient 4-1 and top Portuguese Liga squad Porto 1-0 in a Europa League match. The home team, no doubt, can win this. But Stade Rennes is in excellent form. Give the road squad a shot.
Soccer Pick: Stade Rennes
Olympique Marseille +114 vs Stade Brest 29 +230
- When: Sunday, March 13
Brest has a slight edge because this is on their field. Also, Brest won their last, a 1-0 win against Lens.
Marseille drew 1-1 against Troyes on Feb. 27. Then on March 6, Monaco beat the road team in this 1-0. The odds imply Marseille easily bounces back, but that’s not a foregone conclusion. Brest can make it 2 in a row.
Soccer Pick: Brest
