TV: BT Sport 1 from 2pm Sunday

Paris St-Germain v Nimes 8pm

Champions PSG have won their last four opening-day fixtures without conceding and that looks much the likeliest outcome when they host a Nimes side who lost seven of their final ten away matches last season.

Kylian Mbappe racked up 33 goals last season and notched in the 2-1 Super Cup win over Rennes last weekend.

Recommendation
K Mbappe first goalscorer
1pt 5-2 general

Key stat
Kylian Mbappe scored three goals in two league games against Nimes last season.

Strasbourg v Metz 4pm

Metz bounced straight back up to the top flight as Ligue 2 ­champions and can earn a ­positive result away to Strasbourg.

The hosts finished 11th last term after winning just one of their final eight league matches, but they drew four in that span.

Metz are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Strasbourg.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 9-4 Betfair

Key stat
Metz won their first seven fixtures last season.

Lille v Nantes 2pm

Lille lost just two of their 19 home games last season and they’ll be happy to open their Ligue 1 campaign hosting a Nantes side they haven’t lost to in their last eight meetings.

Lille ended last term with the second-best home scoring record in the division and netted 16 goals in their last four home games of the season.

Recommendation
Over 1.5 Lille goals
2pts 5-4 bet365

Key stat
Nantes managed just two clean sheets on the road last season.
