Lens make the trip to Clermont on Sunday afternoon looking to strengthen their grip of a top-five spot in the Ligue 1 standings.
At a time when the visitors occupy fourth position, six points clear of sixth-placed Lille, Clermont are sat comfortably in the mid-table spots.
We say: Clermont 1-2 Lens
With Clermont having returned to winning ways last time out, they will be optimistic of building on that result. However, Lens are slowly getting back on track themselves, leading us to predict a hard-fought victory for the visitors.

Toulouse will aim to arrest a potential slide down the Ligue 1 table on Sunday, when they travel to take on basement side Angers.
Three consecutive defeats have seen the visitors drop to 12th spot in the French top flight, while their hosts have also lost their last three games and find themselves rooted to the foot of the division, 10 points behind 19th-placed Troyes and 12 points adrift of safety.
We say: Angers 0-2 Toulouse
Although Toulouse are not at their best at present, they will be desperate to return to winning ways and will see this weekend as a great chance to do so.
With the hosts lacking any confidence and Les Violets boasting more quality, we envisage the visitors coming out on top on Sunday.

Lorient will be looking to record their first Ligue 1 victory in three matches when they host relegation-threatened Troyes at Stade Yves Allainmat on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts have struggled in recent weeks and failed to beat Lyon last time out, whereas Troyes desperately need three points to keep their survival hopes alive.
We say: Lorient 1-0 Troyes
Both of these sides are coming into this clash off the back of respectable points last time out, although the long-term form of Troyes is something that cannot be ignored.
Les Merlus have shown their ability to pick up results despite losing their star men in January, and they should be confident of beating a troubled Troyes side on Sunday afternoon.

Nantes vs. Nice (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Nice will be looking to build on success in Europe when they travel to Stade de la Beaujoire to face an out-of-form Nantes side in Ligue 1 on Sunday afternoon.
Nantes were the latest victims of league-leaders Paris Saint-Germain in the league last time out, whereas Nice were victorious in Moldova against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa Conference League.
We say: Nantes 0-1 Nice
There is no shame in losing to PSG at Parc des Princes, but it is the long-term form of Nantes which will have fans worrying of an unexpected relegation battle this season.
Nice have a short turnaround after their midweek trip to Moldova, but despite this they should have enough to earn three points against Les Canaris on Sunday afternoon.

Monaco vs. Reims (Sunday, 4.05pm)

One of the hottest teams in Ligue 1, Reims have a chance to win three consecutive matches domestically for the first time all season when they visit Stade Louis II for a date with Monaco on Sunday.
Since being eliminated from the Europa League, Monaco have fallen four points behind Marseille for second in the table, drawing 2-2 with Troyes last weekend, while Reims are six points back of a European place next season following a last-gasp 1-0 triumph over Ajaccio.
We say: Monaco 1-1 Reims
Eight of the 15 meetings between these teams this century have ended in a draw, and although momentum is on the side of Reims, Will Still's men are not creating as much on the counter, while Balogun is in a slump, so we project another stalemate in the Principality this weekend.

Marseille and Strasbourg will wrap up the weekend's top-flight action in France on Sunday evening, with 33 points between the two clubs in the Ligue 1 table.
Strasbourg head to the Stade Velodrome sitting outside the relegation zone on goal difference, while second-placed Marseille find themselves eight points behind Paris Saint-Germain.
We say: Marseille 3-0 Strasbourg
All the signs point towards a convincing win for title-chasing Marseille on Sunday, with the hosts likely to keep a clean sheet on their way to dispatching struggling Strasbourg.
