Monaco vs Auxerre -Ligue 1-29 August 2010 17:00 CET WON!!!

Monaco made 3 draws in three matches which they made in the new season. Last week they were shocked 2-2 as they were leading the game 2-0. They were actually good in all those games but somehow could not be able keep the result on behalf of them. The fact is that they will be very hard to be beaten when it is their day of playing football. Same like Monaco, Auxerre has 3 draws in three matches. They did a good job by eliminating Zenit and qualify to Champion's League. They concede 4 goals and scored 4 goals as well but their performance could be better if they did not have European campaign. It is always true that a team after an important European game may have a concentration problem. Monaco will beat Auxerre but there is a small possibility of a draw. MONACO DRAW NO BET

Arles vs Rennes 28 August 2010 19:00 CET WON!!!

Arles is a new promoted team but I cannot see them stay in this division by next year. Rennes shocked me last week by a draw at home to St. Etienne. They cannot repeat the same mistake this week against weak Arles. I guess the problem of Rennes is that they have new offensive players and they are having a challenge to suit each other. I think they will have problems against to the teams who has solid defense. They should at least not lose to Arles. RENNES DRAW NO BET

St.Etienne vs Lens 28 August 2010 19:00 CET WON!!!

Home team is still with same problems of last year. But a single point that they gained away from Rennes last week, gave them some home for the near future. Christophe Galtier's first goal is to make sure not to lose home matches before making his team play with the system he wants to create. Last week, Lens managed to bring a draw in the game where they were behind 2-0 against Monaco. Last season, visitors gave a big defeat to St. Etienne and managed a score of 4-1. Today St. Etienne will know how to take their revenge. ST. ETIENNE TO WIN.

Caen vs Brest 28 August 2010 21:00 CET LOST

When a new team is promoted to French League 1. We see a stunning performance at least from one of them Caen is one of these teams. They did fantastic in the first 3 matches. They beat Marseille and Lyon. They drew to Monpellier at away game. I think their performance will continue a few weeks more. They played in the same league with Brest last year and won the home match. Brest is giving the impression of going back to where they come from. CAEN TO WIN

Lyon Brest French 1 21 August 2010 19:00 CET TIE

Lyon did not give us the impression that they are ready for the new season. They collected only 1 point in 2 matches. And it is a fact that the single point is gained by their talent goal keeper Loris. Last week they were a disaster team against Caen. They are not in their form for sure. They have important missing players before hosting Brest. Ederson, Bastos, Lisandro, Cris are those missing ones that I wrote. Toulouse changed their coach. They brought Alex Dupont. They missed 3 points by very late goal of Auxerre and drew. Their forward Roux is missing for Lyon match. It is a fact that Lyon is bad nowadays. But I cannot imagine 3 consecutive winless match of Lyon. LYON AH-1
