Lyon vs. Metz (Sunday, 12.00pm)
The Groupama Stadium plays host to a Ligue 1 relegation battle on Sunday lunchtime, as 18th-placed Lyon take on 16th-placed Metz.
While the hosts' most recent clash with Marseille was postponed amid disgraceful scenes outside the stadium, Les Grenats played out a low-key 0-0 draw with Le Havre last time out.
We say: Lyon 1-0 Metz
Defences should not be breached at will when these two shot-shy sides go head-to-head at the Groupama Stadium, as Metz cannot rely on long-range Camara screamers forever.
A fortnight's break could either be a help or a hindrance for Lyon, but with Alexandre Lacazette always capable of conjuring up some magic, we have faith in Grosso's side to belatedly get off the mark at the 10th attempt.

Strasbourg vs. Clermont (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Two struggling Ligue 1 sides, Strasbourg and Clermont, face off in round 11's clash at Stade de la Meinau on Sunday.
Patrick Vieira's men ended a losing run with their 1-1 draw with Rennes in the previous round, while the second-bottom outfit's mini-revival ended against league-leading Nice.
We say: Strasbourg 1-1 Clermont
The spoils could be shared in Sunday's game, with both sides taking few risks to avoid losing the game.

Toulouse vs. Le Havre (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Toulouse and Le Havre are separated by one place in the Ligue 1 table heading into Sunday's round 11 fixture at Stadium de Toulouse.
Both sides are winless in recent gameweeks, although the league's new boys have secured consecutive draws, and the loser this weekend could drop into the relegation playoff spot.
We say: Toulouse 1-1 Le Havre
Le Havre could end their goal drought in Toulouse, but neither side currently seems capable of winning games, meaning a draw is likely on Sunday.

Nantes vs. Reims (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Two sides that are enjoying a good run of form in the 2023-24 Ligue 1 season will face off this weekend when Nantes take on Reims at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts are the first team outside the European qualification spots, currently in seventh place with 14 points, while the visitors are three points and two places above them after 10 matches.
We say: Nantes 1-2 Reims
Nantes have enjoyed a positive start to the season; however, their defensive record is a major concern. Reims have scored at least once in every league match they have played this season, and against a leaky defence in this one, we fancy the visitors to come away with the points.

Monaco vs. Brest (Sunday, 4.05pm)
Two high-flying Ligue 1 outfits will seek to get back on track after recent defeats this weekend, as Monaco do battle with Brest at the Stade Louis II.
Adi Hutter's men were bested 2-0 by Lille in their last top-flight outing, while Les Pirates' efforts against Paris Saint-Germain were in vain as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat.
We say: Monaco 2-1 Brest
An injury-hit Monaco backline could be there for the taking this weekend, and having come so close yet so far to stealing a point off of PSG, Brest can feel confident of troubling Monaco in a similar vein.
However, any similar defensive lapses akin to the opening 30 minutes against the champions could prove fatal for Les Pirates, who will likely struggle to fight Monaco's fire with as much fire in a third successive defeat.

Nice vs. Rennes (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Unbeaten Nice seek a continuation of their outstanding start to the Ligue 1 season when they welcome Rennes to the Allianz Riviera on Sunday.
The league-leading side are favourites to pick up the victory in the 11th round against a team that have secured one point from an available nine in the competition.
We say: Nice 1-0 Rennes
This season's pattern suggests that a draw will not be surprising in what could be a low-scoring affair in Nice, but the home side are backed to edge Sunday's game over Rennes.
