Monaco vs. Reims (Sunday, 12.00pm)
Monaco will endeavour to bounce back from two successive draws in Ligue 1 when Reims visit the Stade Louis II on Sunday lunchtime.
Philippe Clement's side could only draw 1-1 with relegation-threatened Bordeaux in gameweek 25, while their visitors held Brest to a single point by the same scoreline.
We say: Monaco 4-0 Reims
With absentees in the double-figures, a terrible scoring record away from home and captain Abdelhamid still on the naughty step, this has all the makings of a bad day at the office for Reims.
Monaco have flattered to deceive in recent weeks but normally turn up the heat when it matters at home, and a depleted Reims side will surely have no answer to Wissam Ben Yedder and co.

Angers vs. Lens (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Lens square off against Angers on Sunday afternoon looking for the win which could move the club back into the European positions in the Ligue 1 standings.
At a time when Lens sit in 10th place, Angers are down in 13th spot after losing four successive matches in France's top flight.
We say: Angers 1-2 Lens
Despite their recent poor run of results, Angers will feel that they are capable of getting back on track against inconsistent opponents. However, Lens are seemingly back on an upward trajectory, leading us to predict a narrow victory for the visitors.

Brest vs. Lorient (Sunday, 2.00pm)
After two games without a victory, Lorient will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they travel to the Stade Francis-Le Ble in order to play Brest.
The visitors find themselves inside the relegation zone, while the hosts will be attempting to keep putting pressure on the teams in the top half of the table.
We say: Brest 2-0 Lorient
Lorient are in a need to pick up three points in order to try and maintain their status within the league as they hope to push away from the relegation zone, but this will be another tricky fixture.
Brest are a strong side who have been able to pick up results regularly, and that is something that should provide them the edge at the weekend.

Clermont vs. Bordeaux (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Clermont will be looking to build on their surprise win last weekend when they welcome Bordeaux in a huge relegation clash in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The hosts have pulled away from immediate danger for the time being thanks to a revival in form in recent weeks, whilst the visitors remain in a desperate situation at the foot of the table following their poor start to the New Year.
We say: Clermont 2-1 Bordeaux
The differing form of these two sides mean we are predicting a home win on Sunday, with Clermont on the up in recent weeks and Bordeaux in all kinds of trouble.
It remains to be seen how much of an impact that new Bordeaux manager Guion will have on his side's form, but their awful return away from home in recent weeks mean we are sticking with a Clermont win in this big relegation battle.

Metz vs. Nantes (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Nantes will be looking to continue their fine recent form when they travel to face Metz in their Ligue 1 clash on Sunday.
The visitors picked up a remarkable win over Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, whilst the hosts continued their fight for survival by picking up an impressive point at Lille.
We say: Metz 0-1 Nantes
With these sides heading into their meeting on very different runs of form, we are predicting Nantes to come out on top here thanks to their high spirits following their successes in recent weeks.
The hosts struggle to find the back of the net on so many occasions, and with Nantes boasting one of the meanest defences in Ligue 1, we are predicting a low-scoring encounter on Sunday.

Troyes vs. Marseille (Sunday, 4.05pm)
Fresh from a dominant European victory in midweek, Marseille return to Ligue 1 action with a trip to a lowly Troyes outfit on Sunday afternoon.
While Les Olympiens were busy thrashing Qarabag in the Europa Conference League, Troyes have had a week to mull over their 4-1 defeat to Rennes.
We say: Troyes 0-3 Marseille
After a minor blip at the Orange Velodrome, Marseille responded in perfect fashion in midweek and should have no problem replicating such a performance against a leaky Troyes backline.
Sampaoli may be forced into some alterations after the long journey back from Baku, but with an enviable array of talent on the bench ready and waiting, a Troyes side low on confidence ought to be humbled.

Lyon vs. Lille (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Two giants of the Ligue 1 landscape aiming to improve their mid-table standings lock horns at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday, as Lyon play host to reigning champions Lille.
Peter Bosz's side were forced to settle for a point against Lens last time out, while Les Dogues lost 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Chelsea.
We say: Lyon 1-1 Lille
While Lyon have had no trouble picking up points at home, Lille have generally fared relatively well against the big boys away from home this season, so a cagey affair is surely on the menu.
