1887

Nice couldn’t take advantage of Paris Saint-Germain slipping up a week ago. The gap between the clubs is five points.

At the bottom of the table, Lyon have found form, winning back-to-back games. Les Gones are now one point from relegation safety.

Clermont Foot - Stade Rennais

Clermont Foot will host Rennes, as they look for a third straight home win in all competitions against the Red and Black. Clermont won their last two home matches versus Rennes by identical 2-1 scorelines.

Rennes are struggling this season and are in 13th place. The Red and Black won just one of their last six games in Ligue 1. Indeed, they took just one point from the last nine available. Rennes scored just one goal in the last three games.

Montpellier - Olympique de Marseille

Marseille went unbeaten in their last six matches versus Montpellier in all competitions. The clubs saw three red cards handed on in their last six encounters. Two red cards were given to Marseille and one to Montpellier.

Montpellier are 11th in the standings after 16 games. They picked up a 1-0 win over Metz last time out, which ended a five-game winless streak in Ligue 1. Montpellier were outscored 20-18 in their opening 16 games.

Nice - Lens

Nice’s title hopes seem to have gone up in smoke in recent weeks. The Eagles lost two of their last three Ligue 1 games. They went from having a very stingy defence to conceding five goals in three matches. Three of those goals were scored by Le Havre last weekend.

Lens are in good form and go into the match unbeaten in six straight Ligue 1 games. They took 14 points from the last 18 points on offer in Ligue 1, scoring nine goals. Only two goals were conceded by Lens in those six games.

The last two games between these clubs were low scoring. Just one goal was scored in that time, with Nice claiming it in a 1-0 win last term. Nice posted a record of 4W-1D-1L in the teams’ last six head-to-head encounters.

• OGC Nice are unbeaten at half time in their last 12 home Ligue 1 games.

Lyon have finally woken up this season. Les Gones won their last two games and will face off with Nantes in a relegation six-pointer. Nantes posted a dismal 1W-2D-3L record against Lyon in their last six matches.

Lyon went unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 matches in all competitions against Nantes at home. Can they get another result? Les Gones took nine points from the last six Ligue 1 games, scoring seven goals but conceding eight times.

Nantes lost their last two Ligue 1 games. The Canaries limp into the match, having scored just one goal in the last 180 minutes of football. Nantes lost each of their last three road games in Ligue 1.
