France Ligue 1

GFFN Chief Features Writer Eric Devin and veteran GFFN contributor Jeremy Smith face off in our Ligue 1 predictions competition.

Meanwhile, Nice’s struggles to put the ball in the net have too often been laid bare this season. Despite the usual disruption off the pitch with Monaco owner Dimitry Rybolovlev unsettling Oleg Petrov, Paul Mitchell and coach Paul Clement, amid reports the club’s hierarchy could be overhauled, the playing side is going well, with four straight wins – the latest a very impressive victory at Rennes. Nice’s 2-1 win over Lorient was their first victory since early March and they remain far from convincing. It’s three points for a correct score and one point for a correct result.
