Lille vs. Toulouse (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Lille seek to move into the Champions League places in the Ligue 1 table when they welcome struggling Toulouse to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday.
The Mastiffs occupy fifth place heading into round 12, aided by a five-game undefeated run, and the away side seek to benefit from a shock European victory over Liverpool on Thursday.
We say: Lille 2-0 Toulouse
Despite Toulouse's win over Liverpool, Lille's impressive home form — and their continued adeptness at keeping clean sheets in front of their fans — could swing Sunday's game in favour of Fonseca's men.

Clermont vs. Lorient (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Two sides in desperate need of a victory in Ligue 1 will face off this weekend when Clermont Foot take on Lorient at Stade Gabriel Montpied on Sunday afternoon.
Both of these teams are positioned towards the bottom of the league standings, with Lorient holding the 15th spot and Clermont trailing two places behind in 17th place.
We say: Clermont 1-1 Lorient
Both these sides have performed well below their usual level, and based on their current records, it looks as though they are going to battle out this season at the bottom of the table unless they can put together a run of good results. Neither team have done enough this season to suggest they can go on to win this match; therefore, we are backing a score draw in this one.

Metz vs. Nantes (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Gameweek 12 in Ligue 1 will see Metz look to snap up a three-match winless streak when they take on Nantes at Stade Saint-Symphorien on Sunday afternoon.
With the mid-table in the league being very tightly packed, the visitors are eight places above the hosts in the standings, but they are separated by just four points heading into this match.
We say: Metz 2-2 Nantes
Both sets of players will be hoping for a positive result before the two-week international break and are likely to go all out for the victory in this one. With two of the worst defences in the league on display in this match, a fair bit of goalmouth action at both ends can be expected here, but we feel that these sides will cancel each other out by the final whistle.

Rennes vs. Lyon (Sunday, 4.05pm)
Crisis club Lyon will look to turn their fortunes around when they travel to face Rennes in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The seven-time French champions remain rooted to the bottom of the standings and are still without a win this season.
We say: Rennes 2-1 Lyon
Rennes have a good recent record against Lyon here, winning their last two, scoring seven goals in the process, and given Lyon's troubles, they should make that three in a row.
Grosso and his squad have a monumental task on their hands already given the deficit they need to make up, but this will be a challenging encounter, and they are set to go into the international break a long way adrift of safety.

Lens vs. Marseille (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Last season's closest challengers to eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain meet in Ligue 1 on Sunday night, when Lens host Marseille.
Both clubs are showing signs of turning their seasons around after worrying starts, with very little to separate them coming into the weekend.
We say: Lens 1-1 Marseille
Both sides have shown pragmatic approaches to get results in recent weeks, as defensive solidity has been the backbone of Haise's success at Lens.
It will be a tough place to come to end Marseille's winless away run, and that is set to continue, but the spoils may well be shared here.
