Ligue 1 Predictions, Round 18

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?

Game of the week: Olympique de Marseille v RC Lens, Saturday 20:05 (UK)

Lens and Marseille are an image of contrast. The former rarely blow teams away but they are incredibly consistent, having won all of their last 10 games in all competitions. It is the form of champions, and so their position at the top of the table is entirely logical at this point of the season. Marseille, however, can blow teams away, and they sometimes do.

They netted five against SCO Angers in one of their best performances of the season, whilst they put nine past Bayeux just days earlier. But they are also capable of losing 2-0 at home against FC Nantes, as they did earlier this month. Which version of OM will turn up? That is the question and it is that which will perhaps determine the victor of this match.
