Two teams in the top half of the Ligue 1 table will meet on Sunday when Montpellier HSC will welcome Monaco to Stade de la Mosson.
The hosts head into this match on the back of a defeat in their most recent performance, meanwhile the Monegasques have a three-game undefeated streak right now.
We say: Montpellier HSC 1-2 Monaco
Montpellier have the home advantage in this match, and that is something that could prove to be vital for them as they look to start climbing the league table.
However, because Monaco are in stronger form at the moment, and are coming off the back of a big victory they will be the favourites to win.

Strasbourg will continue to search for their maiden victory of the Ligue 1 campaign as they also aim to try push out of the relegation zone on Sunday when they travel to face Angers.
This game brings two teams with low confidence as the hosts might have a couple of wins under their belt, but they are sat just above the bottom four as well.
We say: Angers 1-1 Strasbourg
Angers head into this match as the favourites to win simply because they are higher in the league table, and have slightly stronger momentum at the moment.
However, Strasbourg have proven that they are able to be competitive in games, and that could lead to another draw for them this time around.

Clermont take on Auxerre at the Gabriel Montpied Stadium on Sunday, as they look to make it two wins in a row in Ligue 1.
The visitors are without a win in five league games, and will be wanting to get their season back on track with a victory on the road.
We say: Clermont 2-0 Auxerre
With Clermont making a solid start to the season, we expect them to win this one without too much trouble.
The home side were 3-1 victors against Ajaccio, who were promoted to Ligue 1 alongside Auxerre last season, in their last match and so they should be expected to win in similar fashion here.

A struggling Nice side will welcome Troyes to the Allianz Riviera on Sunday afternoon looking to resurrect their stumbling start to the Ligue 1 season.
Nice sit below Sunday's opponents in the table, having taken an underwhelming eight points from their opening nine matches.
We say: Nice 1-1 Troyes
Nice need to turn their form around if they wish to climb back into the European positions before the end of the season, with Sunday's clash no doubt the perfect opportunity in their minds to amend the wrongs of previous weeks.
Troyes will be no pushovers for Nice, with this weekend's meeting likely to end in a score draw.

A high-flying Lorient side will look to continue their stellar start to the Ligue 1 campaign when they make the visit to Stade Brest this weekend.
Lorient begin the weekend in third, whereas a struggling Brest enter Sunday's clash within the Ligue 1 relegation zone.
We say: Brest 1-2 Lorient
Lorient will be keen to keep this strong form up for as long as possible with their sights firmly set on a place in Europe.
Brest should provide little problem for Lorient, who will likely continue their flying start with another victory away from home this weekend.

Rennes will look to build on their start to the campaign when they welcome the visit of Nantes on Sunday afternoon.
The home side sit just outside the European places in Ligue 1, whereas a stumbling Nantes side are scratching around just above the relegation zone.
We say: Rennes 2-0 Nantes
Nantes need points rapidly if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle, but this weekend's clash is unlikely to be the match that they start their revival with.
Rennes have been one of the standout teams in Ligue 1 this season and more points will likely be on order for the hosts this weekend.

Lille vs. Lens (Sunday, 7.45pm)

An in-form Lens side will be keen to maintain their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season when they travel to 2020-21 champions Lille on Sunday evening.
Sitting pretty inside the Ligue 1 top four, Lens have begun the season in fine stead, with the potential to take a huge scalp against Lille this weekend.
We say: Lille 1-2 Lens
Lens have been earning plaudits and for good reason this season, given their fantastic performances in the early stage of the season.
For Lille, they have work to do if they wish to compete for the European places this season, but it is unlikely to start against Lens on Sunday.
