With everything pretty much decided on the top, our attention is now being focused to the battle for survival in the bottom of the table.
Guingamp - AS Monaco
One match from the bottom half of the table will see Guingamp play host AS Monaco.
AS Monaco have shown a recent uprise in the form and are now two places above the relegation zone, so a win is much needed, in order to remain calm.
- Guingamp have achieved just 5 wins of their last 34 Ligue 1 games.
- Of their last 10 Ligue 1 games, Guingamp haven't scored a goal on 7 occasions.
- AS Monaco are unbeaten in 7 of their 8 most recent matches (Ligue 1).
- Under 2.5 goals were seen in AS Monaco's last 3 matches in Ligue 1.
- Prediction: AS Monaco @ 2.14
Angers SCO - Stade Rennais
Angers SCO will have the chance to narrow the gap between them and Stade Rennais, in another interesting fixture from Ligue 1.
Unfortunately for Angers SCO, Stade Rennais are a tough one to beat considering their most recent away win over Lyon.
- Angers haven't lost in 8 of their last 9 matches in Ligue 1.
- All of Angers SCO's last 4 Ligue 1 clashes have finished in draws.
- Stade Rennais are undefeated in their last 7 games against Angers SCO in Ligue 1.
- In 11 of Stade Rennais's last 14 away Ligue 1 matches both teams scored.
- Prediction: Draw @ 3.20
