First meets fourth in an unexpected top-of-the-table clash at the Stade du Moustoir in Ligue 1 on Sunday lunchtime, as Lorient welcome runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
The hosts' fast start to the season has taken a slight hit after three games without a win, while Christophe Galtier's side enter on the back of a minor European disappointment.
We say: Lorient 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
With the effervescent Moffi back in the first XI and ready to trouble a PSG defence that has conceded six goals in their last three games, do not be surprised to see at least one of the hosts' attacks end with the ball in the back of the net.
However, Abergel's absence from the midfield is being well and truly felt, and PSG's attacking superstars should be up to their old tricks to condemn Lorient to a fourth game without a win.

Seeking to maintain their position in the top half of Ligue 1, Clermont host Montpellier HSC at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are looking to end a run of five consecutive defeats as they sit just two points clear of the relegation zone.
We say: Clermont 2-0 Montpellier HSC
Clermont are in much better form than their opponents coming into this clash, and we think they will follow up their draw with Nantes last weekend with a win here.
In addition, Montpellier's away record in recent weeks suggests they will not have much joy here.

Nice vs. Brest (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Nice will be looking to extend their unbeaten run of five games in all competitions when they host Brest at Allianz Riviera on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the visitors currently occupy a place in the relegation zone, but they have picked up four points from a possible six in their last two outings.
We say: Nice 2-1 Brest
Both sides have gradually improved in recent weeks, but we think Nice will have enough to edge this contest considering their current unbeaten run, and their position in the table.
The visitors have had more joy on their travels than on their own patch this season, but only three teams have conceded more goals than Brest, suggesting Laborde could expose their defence here.

Reims will be seeking to extend their unbeaten run of five games when they welcome Nantes to the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, come into this game fresh off the back of securing a place in the Europa League knockout round, finishing as runners-up in Group G.
We say: Reims 1-1 Nantes
There is only one point separating the sides coming into this game, so we are expecting a tightly-contested affair on Sunday.
Nantes are yet to win on their travels this season in the league, so we can see the sides sharing the spoils here.

Toulouse are looking to make it five consecutive home games without defeat when they welcome Monaco to the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the visitors come into this clash after two successive victories in all competitions.
We say: Toulouse 0-2 Monaco
Monaco are the third-highest scorers in Ligue 1 this season having scored 25 goals across their 13 matches.
Toulouse have shipped seven goals in their last three outings, and we think Monaco will have too much firepower for them.

Lille vs. Rennes (Sunday, 4.05pm)

Rennes will aim to consolidate their podium position in the Ligue 1 table when they travel to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy to face fellow European hopefuls Lille on Sunday afternoon.
Les Dogues suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lyon in their most recent match, while Bruno Genesio's side relinquished top spot in their Europa League group after a 1-1 draw with Larnaca.
We say: Lille 1-1 Rennes
Taking advantage of Lille's depleted left-hand side should be the first port of call for Rennes this weekend, and Genesio will be desperate to see a reaction from his rotated side after their Europa League setback.
The visitors' ongoing defensive issues on the road spells success for Lille's main man David, and the hosts will be the much fresher of the two sides, so we can only envisage this one ending all square.

Marseille vs. Lyon (Sunday, 7.45pm)

The showpiece event in Ligue 1 this weekend takes place on Sunday night at the Orange Velodrome as Marseille and Lyon meet in the latest instalment of the Choc des Olympiques.
Three places and four points separate the two sides in the table at present, with Igor Tudor's men occupying fifth place while Les Gones languish in eighth position.
We say: Marseille 1-2 Lyon
Both the form book and recent results suggests that Marseille will enter this Choc des Olympiques as the underdogs, and Lyon boss Blanc has already passed one true test of his mettle against Lille.
Winning more than once away from home has been a fruitless endeavour for Lyon for several months, but with Marseille low on morale and struggling to perform in front of their own fans, a third successive victory could be Blanc's in the weekend's Ligue 1 finale.
