Lens vs. Lyon (Saturday, 4.00pm)
A big three points will be up for grabs at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday in Ligue 1 action between Lens and Lyon, both of whom are vying for a spot in Europe next season.
They each came away with victories last weekend, with Les Sang et Or hanging on to a 3-2 win over Bordeaux, while Lyon are tied with Rennes and Monaco for a place in the Europa Conference League, following a 2-0 triumph versus Nice.
We say: Lens 0-1 Lyon
Lyon are coming off perhaps their best collective effort of the campaign and have been a thorn in the side of Lens in the top flight, beating them 41 times, with only Monaco (45) handing them more defeats in Ligue 1.
While Les Sang et Or have a dynamic side with their share of scoring threats, they are not as well-structured and sharp both on and off the ball as L'OL, and we expect Lyon to find a way to destabilize and frustrate them on Saturday.

Nantes vs. PSG (Saturday, 8.00pm)
On a real high from their Champions League victory against Real Madrid, Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to build momentum by claiming maximum points against Nantes on Saturday.
The Canaries, meanwhile, are also in good form and could move into the top five if they were to secure their fifth successive home win.
We say: Nantes 2-3 Paris Saint-Germain
PSG will have exerted a lot of energy in their midweek Champions League showdown with Real Madrid, but they will still be strong favourites to come away with victory against Nantes.
The hosts, meanwhile, cannot be underestimated and will likely cause problems for the league leaders in the final third. Nevertheless, the Parisian outfit should do enough to secure all three points from what should be an entertaining contest at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
