Auxerre vs. Rennes (Saturday, 4.00pm)
Auxerre host Rennes in the French top flight on Saturday in a Ligue 1 meeting between two clubs falling short of their season objectives.
Christophe Pelissier's side slipped back into the relegation zone despite holding Nice to a 1-1 draw last Friday, while Rennes lost 1-0 to Marseille, their rivals for a European place, two days later.
We say: Auxerre 1-2 Rennes
Pelissier has never been able to outwit Genesio over the years and, despite Auxerre's encouraging form of late, that hex may not end this weekend if Rennes produce a display which accurately reflects the gulf between the two squads.

Brest vs. PSG (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Ligue 1 strugglers Brest host a deflated Paris Saint-Germain in the French top flight on Saturday night.
While Brest come into the contest buoyed by their first victory since January, PSG bowed out of the Champions League with a whimper at the hands of Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
We say: Brest 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
While the premature Champions League exit may well have a significant impact on PSG - more specifically, PSG's manager - this summer, the capital outfit do not have a history of letting European disappointment seep into domestic proceedings.
PSG are unbeaten in their last five league matches immediately following their Champions League elimination, a run the capital club are expected to extend when they visit Brest, one of Ligue 1's worst home sides, this weekend.
