Monaco vs. Rennes (Saturday, 4.00pm)
Seeking to bounce back from their lowly Champions League qualifying elimination, Monaco resume Ligue 1 duties with the visit of Rennes to the Stade Louis-II on Saturday afternoon.
Philippe Clement's side were knocked out of Europe's top tournament by PSV Eindhoven in midweek, while the visitors suffered a shock loss to Lorient on the opening matchday of Ligue 1.
We say: Monaco 2-1 Rennes
While some weary legs in the Monaco camp should play their part this week, Clement's well-rested attackers are the ones who got the job done against Strasbourg last week, which serves as a reason for optimism for the home crowd.
After struggling to find their attacking touch against Lorient, Rennes are unlikely to experience greater joy in a fixture that has not been kind to them in recent years, and we have faith in Monaco to recover from their European exit with a second Ligue 1 success on the bounce.

PSG vs. Montpellier (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Fresh from a 5-0 trouncing of Clermont on the opening day of the season, Paris Saint-Germain return to the Parc des Princes for Saturday's visit of Montpellier HSC in Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, the visitors were also involved in a five-goal encounter in gameweek one and just about managed to scrape past Troyes 3-2 on their own turf.
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Montpellier HSC
Losing a top talent in Mavididi is not what the doctor ordered for Montpellier before a trip to the champions, who are now in their 16th month without a Ligue 1 defeat at the Parc des Princes.
Savanier and Elye Wahi can still pose a threat going forward for La Paillade, but we cannot see any other outcome than another resounding success for PSG.
