Top French Ligue 1 Games to Watch This Week (April 9th – 10th)
Stade Rennes -117 vs Stade Reims +330
- When: Saturday, April 9
No doubt, Stade Rennes is in much better form than Stade Reims. Rennes has won 3 straight with a draw.
The wins were impressive: 4-2 over Lyon, 2-1 against Leicester City in a Europa Conference League match, and 6-1 versus Metz on March 20. The road team drew 1-1 versus Nice in their last. Stade Rennes grabs the win.
Soccer Pick: Stade Rennes
Paris Saint-Germain -1 ½ -109 vs Clermont Foot 63 +1 ½ -116
- When: Saturday, April 9
PSG isn’t playing well. Paris has 2 wins in their last 5 matches. The good news if you’re a Paris Saint-Germain fan?
Both wins happened versus Ligue 1 opponents. On March 13, PSG blasted Bordeaux 3-0. Then in their last on April 3, Paris dominated Lorient 5-1. Clermont has lost 4 straight. Mbappe and his mates cover.
Soccer Pick: Paris Saint-Germain
Estac Troyes +740 vs AS Monaco -285
- When: Sunday, April 10
On paper, Monaco should have no trouble. The chalk has won 2 straight, including a 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain on March 20, host their rivals on the pitch at Stade Louis II, and won the last head-to-head 2-1.
But Troyes has won 3-of-5 with 2 draws. Monaco should win, yes. However, the odds make the road team an overlay. Grab the excellent odds on Troyes.
Soccer Pick: Estac Troyes
Lille OSC +133 vs Angers SCO +215
- When: Sunday, April 10
Neither squad is in great form. Defending Ligue 1 champion Lille shows 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss in their last 5.
Home underdog Angers has a victory and 4 losses in their last 5. Lille offers decent odds to grab the win, but they’re a suspect play to get the victory because in the last head-to-head these two drew. Another draw looks like the best play.
Soccer Pick: Draw
OGC Nice +205 vs RC Lens +129
- When: Sunday, April 10
Nice has won the last 3 head-to-head matches, including beating Lens twice in 2021. But although Nice is a decent play, the road underdog has won since March 5 when they upset Paris Saint-Germain 1-0.
Last week, on April 3, Lens fell to Strasbourg. The home team has lost 2-of-4 with a win and a draw. Lens can win, but home pitch doesn’t account for the odds difference. The road team is more than playable.
Soccer Pick: Nice
Olympique Lyon +165 vs Strasbourg Alsace +155
- When: Sunday, April 10
Lyon and Strasbourg show almost the exact form. The difference is in a single game. Lyon has a loss in their last 5. Strasbourg doesn’t.
The slight home chalk has won 2 with 3 draws. Lyon has a loss, 2 draws and 2 wins. The road squad has won the last couple of head-to-head matches by a combined 6 goals to 1. At the odds, Lyon is an attractive play.
Soccer Pick: Lyon
