There are a full set of fixtures to enjoy in Ligue 1 over the course of the weekend, kick-starting with a showdown between Strasbourg and Lens on Friday evening.

Lens are failing to live up to last season's high standards and are in need of a positive response at Stade de la Meinau, although Patrick Viera's hosts are going great guns and may be tough to budge.

That features in our Friday & Saturday accumulator, along with selections from PSG's trip to Clermont and Monaco's high-profile clash with Marseille. The treble pays out at just shy of 9/1.

Strasbourg v Lens prediction

Strasbourg draw no bet @ 5/4

Lens chased home PSG in the Ligue 1 title race last season, finishing one point behind the classy Parisians yet 11 points clear of Marseille in third.

However, Franck Haise's side are struggling to match those expectations this term and after six games find themselves third from bottom, having collected only four points.

Lens did get off the mark in a 2-1 victory at home to Toulouse last weekend but they have lost all three road trips, leaking three goals in each of their defeats at Brest, PSG and Monaco.

With a midweek Champions League visit from Arsenal on the horizon, it is understandable if attention is elsewhere and that is something Strasbourg can capitalise on.

Strasbourg are a different proposition to the team that finished only 15th last season and they have taken ten points from their first six games.

Vieira's men have beaten Lyon and Toulouse and drawn with Montpellier at home this season and, with no European distractions, they may add to Lens’s early-season woes.

Strasbourg have lost only two of their last 11 home league fixtures across this season and at 5/4 they make plenty of appeal on the draw-no-bet market.

Clermont v PSG prediction

PSG to win & over 2.5 goals @ 21/20

PSG have made a mixed start to their title defence as they adjust to life without Neymar and Lionel Messi, but the signs are that things are starting to click.

The Parisians have dropped points in three of their opening six games but they were emphatic 4-0 winners at home to Marseille last weekend, which came only five days on from a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The goals are still coming freely, with PSG having netted 14 times across their six league outings, and they should be able to make light work of an out-of-form Clermont.

Luis Enrique's side were impressive 4-1 winners in their last away game at Lyon and another high-scoring victory may follow against the Lancers, who have taken only one point from six matches.

Clermont have lost all three home league games, which includes a 4-2 defeat to Monaco, and they could be brushed aside by the reigning champions. Take PSG to triumph & over 2.5 goals at 21/20.

Monaco v Marseille prediction 

Monaco to win @ 23/20

Marseille finished third in Ligue 1 last season but they have won only two of their opening six games and scored just seven goals.

OM were brushed aside 4-0 by PSG last weekend and another tough test awaits against Monaco who, unlike their visitors, don’t have to balance domestic duties with a European campaign.

As a result, Monaco have picked up 11 points from their first six league starts, losing only to high-flying Nice 1-0 last time out.

However, prior to that, Monaco had recorded convincing 3-0 home wins against Strasbourg and Lens and that means they boast the division’s most feared attack with 15 goals in six matches.

With Wissam Ben Yedder, Takumi Minamino, Folarin Balogun and Aleksandr Golovin to choose from in forward areas, Monaco simply prove too lively for their guests and odds of 23/20 could underrate their prospects.
