Ligue 1 Picks — Predictions for Matchday 22 (Feb 14-16)

PSG will be aiming to go 13 points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 standings this weekend.

Meanwhile, there are important clashes at the bottom of the standings, with St. Etienne bidding to end a two-game losing sequence in their battle to avoid relegation. You can find our Ligue 1 picks for every fixture on matchday 22 here.

Ligue 1 Picks

Brest vs. Auxerre

Brest suffered a 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture between the sides, but they have never lost both league matches against Auxerre in a single season.

The hosts bring some strong recent form to the table after winning four of their last five in the league. Meanwhile, Auxerre have failed to win in their last nine.

Marseille vs. St. Etienne

History could be made this weekend, as Marseille could become the first French team to record 1,200 wins in Ligue 1.

The hosts have won each of their last four across all competitions, while their attacking threat this weekend could be a focal point when examining selections against a St. Etienne side that has already allowed 45 goals in 2024-25.

Monaco vs. Nantes

Monaco have avoided defeat in their last 13 clashes against Nantes in the league, winning on eight occasions across that period. However, they come into this round after losing three of their last six.

But, Nantes don’t appear to have the form to trouble the hosts after picking up their third-lowest tally of points in their history at this stage of the season.

Toulouse vs. PSG

PSG have recorded wins in 24 of their last 29 matches against Toulouse across all competitions. The hosts have failed to win in their last five in the league, but they have scored in each of their last ten at home.

But, PSG remain a prominent selection after going 34 without defeat on the road, and avoiding defeat in all 21 Ligue 1 fixtures this term.

Montpellier vs. Lyon

Montpellier have suffered defeats in each of their last three league matches against Lyon. The hosts have a poor defensive record this season, with only Bordeaux in 2021-22 conceding more at this stage in the last 45 years.

Therefore, despite a poor run of form on the road, we could see Lyon ending their five-game winless sequence on Sunday.

Lens vs. Strasbourg

Lens have avoided defeat in their last five league matches against Strasbourg, picking up three wins across that period.

However, the hosts have a poor attacking record, and they have netted the second-lowest in the league in 2025. Strasbourg have won five of their last seven, but are winless in three on the road. Therefore, a draw could make the most appeal on Sunday.

Le Havre vs. Nice

Nice have failed to score in a staggering 39% of their league matches against Le Havre.

The hosts come into this round after avoiding defeat in their last two, while Nice have lost just twice across their last 17 in Ligue 1. However, the home record of Le Havre could be the worrying trend, as they have lost each of their last five at Stade Oceane.

Reims vs. Angers

Reims have won their last six matches against promoted sides in Ligue 1, but they are winless in their last ten coming into this weekend. Angers have also failed to win in their last three.

Draws have featured heavily in the recent form of both of these sides, with Reims playing out ties in three of their last seven at home.

Rennes vs. Lille

Lille are unbeaten in their last eleven Ligue 1 matches against Rennes. However, the hosts have picked up wins one each of their last two matches.

Lille have won just three of their last ten across all competitions. The defensive record of Rennes could make them an interesting selection on Sunday, as they have kept clean sheets in four of their previous seven.
