Ligue 1 2022-23: 3 Betting tips for Matchday 17

Ace Football presents detailed betting tips on the upcoming Ligue 1 games of the weekend.

As we prepare for another matchday of the Ligue 1 season, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming matches.

Let’s check out three betting tips for Matchday 17 of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 campaign.

Goals likely on both sides when Lille face Reims

Lille returned to action by securing their third consecutive victory on Wednesday.

A 2-0 win over Clermont Font saw Lille showcase their impressive attacking form again. We expect them to do the same when they meet Reims’ unstable defence on Monday.

However, the guests’ consistent goal numbers in recent weeks suggest they will also have a good chance of scoring in the upcoming game.

Expect goals when Strasbourg meet Troyes

Strasbourg were close to snatching a point in their last week’s match against Paris Saint-Germain. However, they had to settle for a narrow defeat after Kylian Mbappe converted a late penalty for the Ligue 1 champions.

We expect them to push for victory when they meet Troyes on Monday.

Given Strasbourg’s in-form attacking line, we expect them to find the back of the net against their opponents. However, Troyes’ recent results show they are keen to take defensive risks to score.

An open game is, therefore, the most likely outcome, with both sides finding enough chances to score.

Back both sides to score when Nantes take on Auxerre

Auxerre have continued their struggle to get out of the relegation zone in recent weeks. But their poor results are mostly due to an out-of-form backline.

We expect Nantes to put pressure on Auxerre’s defence in the upcoming game. Given their goalscoring record in recent weeks, the hosts will most likely manage to break their opponents’ resistance.

However, having conceded in all but one of their last nine matches, Nantes’ defensive issues might cost them at least one goal in the upcoming match.
