GFFN editor-in-chief Luke Entwistle, and sub-editors Raphaël Jucobin and Bastien Cheval face off in our Ligue 1 predictions competition. This season, GFFN will also be hosting guests.

It’s three points for a correct score, two points for a correct score difference, and one point for a correct result. Who will come out on top at the end of the season?

Game of the week: Paris Saint-Germain v AS Monaco, Friday 19:45 (UK)
Aladji Bamba says that Monaco are heading to the Parc des Princes in search of “revenge”, after Paris Saint-Germain knocked them out of the Champions League just over a week ago. They can also head to the capital with hope. Monaco have played Les Parisiens three times this season, winning once, drawing once, and losing once. They have shown themselves more than capable of competing with the reigning European champions, and during the QSI era, only Stade Rennais have beaten PSG more times.
Luis Enrique’s side could be forgiven for being a little distracted, too. Whilst the Ligue 1 title race remains open, there is now a four-point cushion to RC Lens and – more crucially – a match against Chelsea coming up.
