Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Saturday's Ligue 1 fixtures, including Lille vs. Nice and PSG vs. Strasbourg.

Lille vs. Nice (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Christophe Galtier returns to face his former team on Saturday, as Nice take on Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the second game of the new Ligue 1 season.

Galtier's managerial heroics last season led Les Dogues to a first Ligue 1 title in a decade, but he will now head to the Lille away dressing room as he aims to move Nice up the table.

We say: Lille 1-1 Nice

Both sides have plenty of quality but Lille probably have the slightly stronger squad on paper, particularly with the return of Xeka.

Galtier knows his old side very well, however, and showed in the opening game that his Nice side will be hard to break down, so a draw seems a likely result.

PSG vs. Strasbourg (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Fresh from their headline-grabbing purchase of Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain must get back to the nitty gritty of winning football matches when they face Strasbourg at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.

It may prove to be too early for the new Parisian hero to take to the pitch, but PSG have plenty of other superstars in their ranks to try and make it two wins from two as they take on a Strasbourg side currently bottom of Ligue 1.

We say: Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Strasbourg

PSG should have far too much firepower for Strasbourg - even before we witness the new 'MNM' partnership in all its glory - and the visitors would likely be pleased just to keep the scoreline more respectable than those of last season.
