Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Saturday's Ligue 1 fixtures - Metz vs. Saint-Etienne and Lyon vs. Lens.

Metz vs. St Etienne (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Ligue 1's bottom two sides meet as Saint-Etienne travel to Metz for a crucial clash at the Stade Saint-Symphorien on Saturday afternoon.

Both teams are separated by just one point and will know that a win could be huge for their campaign, with a chance to escape what is quickly becoming a clear bottom three.

We say: Metz 1-0 Saint-Etienne

It is hard to pick a winner here, purely because neither side has been able to do so recently. Saint-Etienne's lack of firepower should mean an easier game for Metz's troublesome defence, however, and - combined with home advantage - we can see them snatching an important 1-0 victory.

Lyon vs. Lens (Saturday, 8.00pm)

High-flying Lens travel south to face Lyon at the Groupama Stadium on Saturday evening in the third game of this weekend's Ligue 1 action.

The hosts have been improving recently but come into the game on the back of a loss, whilst the visitors kept up their hot-streak last time out and remain second in the table.

We say: Lyon 2-2 Lens

This is a tough game to call. Lyon will be determined to bounce back from such a galling defeat and have dealt with far more important suspensions than Kadewere.

They also probably have the stronger side on paper, but Lens are full of confidence right now and will go toe to toe with anyone. All things considered, we are backing an entertaining draw.
