Clermont vs. Monaco (Sunday, 12.00pm)
A pair of unbeaten sides in Ligue 1 this year will square off on Sunday from Stade Gabriel Montpied, as Clermont can stretch their domestic unbeaten run to six matches when they host Monaco.
Earlier this week, Clermont drew 0-0 with Lille for their second successive draw by that scoreline, while Les Monegasques hung onto a 3-2 victory over Auxerre, climbing up to fourth in the table.
We say: Clermont 1-3 Monaco
Monaco have played aggressively throughout 2023, and although they tend to concede some quality scoring opportunities, they have been splendid in the attacking third all year, and we expect them to find the back of the net a few times this weekend.

Ajaccio vs. Nantes (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Ajaccio are back at Stade Francois Coty this weekend in search of their first domestic victory at home this year when they battle Nantes on Sunday.
Earlier this week, the Corsicans defeated Angers 2-1 but are still in the relegation zone, one point below that line, while La Maison Jaune dropped a 2-0 decision at home to Marseille, falling to 13th in the Ligue 1 table.
We say: Ajaccio 0-0 Nantes
Neither side have shown much poise in the attacking third throughout the campaign, often employing defensive tactics, so we expect scoring chances to be at a premium in this encounter.

Auxerre vs. Reims (Sunday, 2.00pm)
In-form Reims travel to face struggling Auxerre at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.
Reims have made more headlines with two excellent results this week to keep their unbeaten run going.
We say: Auxerre 1-1 Reims
Reims are on a superb unbeaten run, but they have drawn eight of those 13 games without defeat.
Auxerre will also be determined to end this seven-game losing run, and will hope some of their new signings can make an impact.

Lorient vs. Angers (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Bottom club Angers travel to the Stade du Moustoir to face Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Both clubs are reeling from losing vital players late in the January transfer window.
We say: Lorient 1-0 Angers
Lorient have not been on a good run by any means, but they were still able to beat a hapless Angers at the start of January.
Relegation looms for the visitors, and they really must end this staggering losing streak sooner rather than later.

Strasbourg vs. Montpellier (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Two sides embroiled in a relegation fight meet at the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1 on Sunday, when Strasbourg host Montpellier HSC.
The hosts come into the fixture still looking for their first win on home soil this season.
We say: Strasbourg 2-2 Montpellier HSC
Despite both struggling, Strasbourg and Montpellier have been able to find the net with some regularity this season.
Defence is where their issues lie, so that could mean goals will be in plentiful supply here.

Brest vs. Lens (Sunday, 4.05pm)
Faltering challengers Lens will endeavour to get back on track in Ligue 1 when they travel to the Stade Francis Le-Ble to take on Brest on Sunday afternoon.
Les Pirates held Lyon to a 0-0 draw in the midweek round of fixtures, while Franck Haise's side were nullified in a 1-0 loss to Nice.
We say: Brest 0-1 Lens
With Lens losing their bite amid a spate of injuries and Brest proving more and more resilient under Roy, a high-scoring affair should be off the cards here, especially with both sides demonstrating an affinity for closely-fought draws.
Haise's side have not been able to replicate their previously brilliant home form on the road, but with Sotoca and Openda both well-rested and raring to go, Haise's men should just about get the job done to maintain their unassailable lead in the podium spots.

Marseille vs. Nice (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Having received a helping hand from their upcoming opponents in midweek, Marseille play host to Nice at the Orange Velodrome in Sunday evening's Ligue 1 clash.
Igor Tudor's side defeated Nantes 2-0 on Wednesday night, while Les Aiglons also posted a win and clean sheet of their own, getting the better of Lens 1-0.
We say: Marseille 1-1 Nice
Rearguard solidity has been the theme for Digard and his defence-heavy 5-4-1 formation, which Marseille will certainly have a hard time breaking down, despite their plentiful attacking options.
Tudor's side may already have one eye on Le Classique too, and for that reason, we would not be surprised to see an in-form Nice travel back to the Riviera with a hard-earned point to their name.
