Saturday's Ligue 1 predictions including Paris Saint-Germain vs. Rennes

Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Ligue 1's fixtures - Bordeaux vs. Montpellier and Paris Saint-Germain vs. Rennes.

Bordeaux will endeavour to bounce back from their crushing defeat to Monaco when they welcome Montpellier HSC to the Stade Matmut-Atlantique for Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter.

In contrast, the visitors managed to end their winless run in gameweek nine as they overcame an out-of-sorts Saint-Etienne side by a goal to nil.

We say: Bordeaux 1-1 Montpellier HSC


Monaco proved last week that Bordeaux's defence is not as impenetrable as it seems, which should give Montpellier an injection of confidence before this weekend's showdown. The visitors have been in underwhelming form themselves but will be able to welcome a couple of starters back to the fold for the trip to Bordeaux, who are yet to concede a goal on their own turf this season.

We reckon Montpellier will be the ones to end Bordeaux's remarkable clean sheet record at the Matmut Atlantique but are ultimately backing this tie to end all square.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

PSG vs. Rennes (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Two giants of the French game will collide in a mouthwatering showdown on Saturday as Paris Saint-Germain welcome Rennes to the Parc des Princes.

However, both sides recently suffered dismal defeats in the Champions League on Wednesday and will be determined to put things right upon their return to top-flight action.

We say: Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Rennes


With both of these powerhouses aiming to bounce back from disappointing trips across Europe, Saturday's clash should be an entertaining spectacle between two sides who are certainly vulnerable at the back. PSG have already scored 23 goals in the top flight this season but will not be as clinical going forward without Mbappe and Neymar, and we are expecting this clash to be a closely-fought affair, but the champions should still do enough to nick a win.

Our tipster partners are predicting a draw.
