Saturday, April 24th Matches
- Stade Brestois +249 / Saint-Etienne +106
Saint-Etienne is in decent form. The home squad in this has won 3-of-5. The last loss impressed because Etienne scored 2 goals against Paris Saint-Germain in a 3-2 loss. Brest has drawn in 3-of-5. If the odds stay where they are, Saint-Etienne is an overlay.
Soccer Pick: Saint-Etienne
- Paris Saint-Germain -1 ½ (-123) / Metz +1 ½ (-107)
PSG is on fire. Not only did Paris knock Bayern out of the Champions League this month, but they dominated Angers 5-0 on April 21. Metz played tough when drawing with Stade Reims in their last. They shouldn’t comes close to drawing with PSG.
Soccer Pick: Paris Saint-Germain
Sunday, April 25th Matches
- Montpellier +150 / Nice +167
Montpellier looks like an easy winner on Sunday. Nice may play well at home, but Dijon, the worst team in French Ligue 1, beat the home squad in this 2-0 on April 18. Losing to Dijon could ruin the rest of Nice’s season.
Soccer Pick: Montpellier
- Nimes +371 / Lens -140
Lens has 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5. Nimes has 2 draws and a loss in their last 3. These two drew on Sep. 27 in the last head-to-head. Although Lens looks tough, laying -140 is asking too much. Consider backing Nimes at the overlay odds.
Soccer Pick: Nimes

Stade Rennais has 4 wins and a draw in their last 5. Yes, Dijon beat Nice in their last. Don’t expect them to come close to making it 2 in a row. Rennais should obliterate Dijon on Sunday.
Soccer Pick: Stade Rennais
