Ligue 1 Matchweek 10 features nine fixtures running from Friday 6 November to Sunday 8 November 2026, headlined by early-season positioning battles across both halves of the standings. At the sharp end, Paris FC aim to cement their spot in the top four, while leaders Paris Saint Germain look to extend their advantage. Forecasts for matches later in the round will appear on each individual match page the day before kickoff.
The match of the round: Auxerre vs Paris FC
Saturday's meeting between Auxerre and Paris FC offers a stark contrast in defensive stability. The home side sit 14th with 10 points from nine games, having shipped 23 goals already this season—the worst defensive record in the division. That vulnerability was on full display in their last outing, a heavy 5-1 loss away at Strasbourg. With Assane Dioussé and Bryan Okoh injured, alongside the suspended Lamfia Dioubate, the home defense faces another stern test.
Paris FC, by comparison, enter the weekend in fourth place with 17 points under Liam Rosenior. They have conceded just 10 times in nine league outings while remaining sharp in front of goal, finding the net 16 times. A recent 3-1 victory over Monaco underlined their credentials, driven by top scorer Lassine Sinayoko, who already has eight goals across all competitions this season.
Our forecasting model projects a Paris FC win, offering medium confidence on an away victory. With Auxerre struggling to contain opposing attacks, the model also leans toward more than 2.5 total goals and both teams to score. In the exact scoreline projection, a low-confidence call settles on a 2-1 win for the visiting side.
Friday
Toulouse vs Strasbourg Action begins on Friday night as 12th-placed Toulouse host 13th-placed Strasbourg, with both clubs level on 10 points. Toulouse arrive after a 2-0 defeat at Marseille but had previously built a five-match unbeaten run underpinned by improved defensive organization under Jens Berthel Askou. Strasbourg won 5-1 against Auxerre last weekend, yet their form on the road has been plagued by defensive lapses, and they remain without Fabio Baldé, Joaquín Panichelli, and Maxi Oyedele. Our model makes a medium-confidence call for a Toulouse win, projecting both teams to score and more than 2.5 total goals.
Saturday
Paris Saint Germain vs Estac Troyes League leaders Paris Saint Germain head into Saturday evening on the back of a 6-0 away win against Villarreal in Europe and a 5-1 league win at Le Havre. Despite injuries to Marquinhos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Maghnes Akliouche, the capital side have scored 21 goals in nine matches, with Ferran Torres leading their charts on seven. Visitors Estac Troyes sit 16th with eight points and just seven goals scored all season, though they earned a 2-0 win over Le Mans in their last match.
Sunday
Rennes vs Lille Sunday's early kickoff pits fifth against second as Rennes host Lille. Rennes sit on 16 points after a 2-5 defeat at Nice and a midweek goalless draw with Olympiakos Piraeus, and they must cope without seven-goal top scorer Estéban Lepaul through injury. Lille have built their campaign on a division-best defensive tally of six goals conceded in nine matches, though their attack is missing Ayase Ueda, Hamza Igamane, and Nabil Bentaleb.
Angers vs Nice Angers sit 15th with eight points and are without top scorer Amine El Ouazzani due to injury after falling 2-0 at Lyon last weekend. Nice hold eighth spot on 14 points, buoyed by a 5-2 win over Rennes where Elye Wahi took his season tally to six goals. The visitors will have to manage without Ali Abdi, Antoine Mendy, and Laurent Abergel.
Stade Brestois 29 vs Lyon Tenth-placed Stade Brestois 29 defeated Lorient 2-0 last weekend and now host third-placed Lyon. The visitors have compiled 17 points and conceded only seven goals, though their forward line is depleted with top scorer Ernest Nuamah and Loïs Openda both sidelined with injuries.
Le Havre vs Lorient Bottom club Le Havre have collected only two points from nine games, conceding 20 goals and losing their last three matches, including a 5-1 home defeat to Paris Saint Germain. They face 11th-placed Lorient, who have scored just seven league goals all season and are missing Bandiougou Fadiga, Mohamed Bamba, and Panos Katseris.
Le Mans vs Monaco Sitting 17th with seven points, Le Mans enter Sunday having lost 2-0 at Estac Troyes. They host a Monaco side placed seventh on 15 points. Monaco responded to a league defeat at Paris FC with a 2-0 European victory over FC Nordsjaelland, with eight-goal forward Paris Josua Brunner leading their attack.
Lens vs Marseille The weekend concludes with ninth-placed Lens hosting sixth-placed Marseille. Lens must regroup after suffering a 9-1 defeat to Como in European competition, while Marseille travel with confidence following consecutive wins over Le Havre, Toulouse, and Bayer Leverkusen, led by Amine Gouiri's seven goals this season.
This round could trigger significant movement across the table. With second-placed Lille and third-placed Lyon separated by only one point, any slip could allow Paris FC or Rennes to climb into the top three, while Le Havre and Le Mans face growing pressure to break away from the bottom two.
