A relegation six-pointer at the foot of the Ligue 1 table takes place on Saturday lunchtime as Nantes welcome Bordeaux to the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Both teams picked up a crucial three points in the relegation dogfight last time out, as Les Canaris thrashed Brest 4-1 while Bordeaux claimed a much-needed win over Rennes.
We say: Nantes 2-1 Bordeaux
Bordeaux's game with Rennes could have panned out a whole lot differently had Nzonzi not been sent for an early bath, but Gasset will give no thought to that as he aims to ensure Les Girondins' survival.
Nantes will remain in the bottom three whatever happens this weekend, but there is no better time for Kombouare to end his side's wretched home fortunes after back-to-back away wins, so we expect the hosts to take the spoils in this relegation scrap.

After an enthralling and fiery victory over fellow high-flyers Monaco last time out, Champions League-chasing Lyon welcome relegation-threatened Lorient to the Groupama Stadium on Saturday evening.
The visitors also managed to claim three points from their clash with Angers in gameweek 35, as they boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 success over the out-of-form Scoistes.
We say: Lyon 2-0 Lorient
An inspired Lorient are capable of making this game a banana skin for Lyon, who must work around a spate of absentees at the worst time possible.
However, Garcia's men should still have too much quality for the division's second-worst performing side away from home, so we are backing a comfortable triumph for Les Gones.
