Ligue 1 Predictions | Round 30: PSG host Lyon, Strasbourg face Rennes in key game in European race Ligue 1 Predictions, Round 30 GFFN editor-in-chief Luke Entwistle, and sub-editors Raphaël Jucobin and Bastien Cheval face off in our Ligue 1 predictions competition. This season, GFFN will also be hosting guests. Earlier this season, The Athletic’s Alex Barker participated and became the first name on our guest leaderboard, and he has since been joined by Julien Laurens .

It’s three points for a correct score, two points for a correct score difference, and one point for a correct result. Who will come out on top at the end of the season? SCORES Raphaël: 182 Luke: 165 Bastien: 205 Guest leaderboard: Alex Barker: 7 Julien Laurens: 7 Game of the week: Paris Saint-Germain v Olympique Lyonnais, Saturday 19:45 (UK) For PSG, this feels like the final hurdle in their race to secure another Ligue 1 title.

The postponement of their match against their only rival for the title, RC Lens, has worked perfectly in their favour. Their loss to Lille OSC earlier this month gave them considerable wiggle room. Lyon represent a big test, but thereafter, the run is easy for Luis Enrique’s men (FC Nantes, followed by SCO Angers, FC Lorient, and Stade Brestois).

It means that, by the time the game against Les Sang et Or comes around, just before the final gameweek of the season, the title may already be secured. You certainly wouldn’t bet against it given PSG’s current form. It has been an inconsistent season, unlike the previous one, but they are peaking at just the right time.
