Reims vs. Rennes (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Rennes will aim to remain in the driving seat for a podium finish in Ligue 1 when they travel to the Stade Auguste-Delaune to take on Reims on Saturday afternoon.
Bruno Genesio's side rescued a point in a 1-1 draw with Nice last time out, while the hosts fell to a dampening 1-0 defeat to Troyes.
We say: Reims 0-3 Rennes
Reims have proven to be a tough nut to crack for several top-five chasing teams in recent weeks, but their continued struggles in front of goal with Ekitike sidelined could bedevil them once again.
Genesio's Rennes need no lessons in breaking down a staunch rearguard and have enjoyed the rare luxury of a full week off, so we can only back Les Rouge et Noir to boost their Champions League hopes and end their hoodoo in this fixture with a convincing win.

Clermont vs. PSG (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will aim to continue their charge towards the Ligue 1 title when Clermont welcome them to the Stade Gabriel-Montpied on Saturday night.
The hosts went down 3-2 to Nantes in gameweek 30, while Mauricio Pochettino's men stormed to an emphatic 5-1 win at home to Lorient.
We say: Clermont 0-4 Paris Saint-Germain
While both managers are dealing with an absentee crisis at present, Clermont will certainly be hit harder by their missing players than PSG will, with Pochettino still able to put out a daunting first XI.
Les Parisiens have made a habit of winning at home then immediately losing away, but an out-of-sorts Clermont side with a penchant for conceding goals ought to be blown away by the visiting crop this weekend.
