Dijon vs. Angers (Saturday, 4.00pm)
Dijon will kick off their 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign on Saturday as they play host to Angers at the Stade Gaston Gerard.
Dijon finished 16th when the previous season was curtailed amid the coronavirus outbreak, while Angers secured 11th spot with 39 points to show from 28 matches.
We say: Dijon 1-2 Angers
Both sides should feel confident of coming away from this tie with all three points - Dijon's home form has been nothing short of spectacular and Angers ended their pre-season strongly. However, the home side have several injuries to deal with for the opening weekend, and we expect Angers to pick up where they left off and prevail in a closely-fought battle on Saturday.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Lille vs. Rennes (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Two sides separated by just one point following the curtailment of last season will meet in the opening round of fixtures for the 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign as Lille play host to Rennes on Saturday.
Lille finished fourth when the French football season was abruptly ended, while Rennes secured third spot and a route into the Champions League.
We say: Lille 2-1 Rennes
The clash between Lille and Rennes promises to be a mouth-watering showdown between two sides looking to pick up where they left off at the end of last season. Lille boast an incredible home record against their weekend opponents, and while Osimhen's departure is sure to affect them going forward, we still expect Galtier's men to scrape a narrow victory and take all three points this Saturday.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
