Lille will endeavour to edge themselves closer to the European qualification places when they travel to Stadium TFC to face Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

The hosts, meanwhile, are looking to finish the season strongly as they bid to climb into the top 10, a year on from winning the Ligue 2 title.

We say: Toulouse 1-1 Lille

A closely-fought contest between two inconsistent teams is set to be played out at Stadium TFC, and although Lille will be regarded as slight favourites to come out on top, we believe Toulouse will follow up last weekend's win with a hard-fought point on home soil.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Having reignited their Champions League bid in style last weekend, Lens return to home comforts at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to tackle crisis club Angers in Saturday's Ligue 1 battle.

Franck Haise's side put four past Clermont without reply in their most recent battle, while Les Scoistes' turbulent period continued with a 2-0 loss to Toulouse under new management.

We say: Lens 3-0 Angers

The Stade Bollaert-Delelis is not quite the fortress it once was for Lens earlier in the campaign, but they should encounter few obstacles en route to a comfortable win this weekend.

With Angers mired in turmoil on and off the field, a reignited Openda can feast alongside his Champions League-chasing teammates, and keeping the scoreline respectable should be the visitors' primary goal here.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
