Sunday Ligue 1 betting tips including Nice v Lyon

BT Sport from 2pm Sunday

Nice v Lyon

BT Sport 1, 8pm

Lyon are on their best run of the season with five successive wins and they can keep it going against Nice in the south of France.

Bruno Genesio's side haven't been defeated away from home since losing 5-0 to Paris St-Germain last October. They should be too strong for inconsistent Nice, who have plenty to prove following a 4-0 loss away to Lille last time out.

Guingamp v Lille

BT Sport ESPN, 4pm

Guingamp crashed out of the French Cup with a 2-1 loss at home to Lyon on Thursday and they could be heading for another defeat against Lille.

The only thing left for Guingamp to focus on is the battle against the drop and they are four points adrift of safety with 16 games left.

Second-placed Lille are 32 points better off and should have too much quality.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Lille
1pt 5-4 general

Key stat
Lille have won six of their last seven matches.

Montpellier v Monaco

BT Sport ESPN, 2pm

The return of title-winning coach Leonardo Jardim got an immediate reaction from the Monaco players and they can follow up last weekend's 2-1 win over Toulouse with another positive result at Montpellier.

The attacking options Jardim has at his disposal should be enough to keep Monaco up and they can enhance their survival chances with a point at the Altrad Stadium, where Montpellier have won only one of their last four games.

Aaron Ashley's recommendation
Draw
1pt 9-4 188Bet

Key stat
Montpellier have drawn three of their last four league games.
