Clermont will welcome Strasbourg to the Stade Gabriel Montpied for their Ligue 1 encounter on Wednesday night.

The Lancers have won only one of their last seven home games in the top flight, while the visitors have claimed all three points in only one of their last five matches on the road.

We say: Clermont 1-2 Strasbourg

With nine points and 11 places separating these two sides heading into Wednesday's clash, Strasbourg are seemingly the strong favourites to come away with a victory.

Clermont are sure to put up a fight, though the visitors should do just enough to claim all three points at the Stade Gabriel Montpied.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Lille will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run of form in Ligue 1 to nine matches when they continue their campaign at home to Lorient on Wednesday night.

The home side are currently 10th in Ligue 1, having picked up just 29 points from their opening 20 matches of the season, while Lorient occupy 18th, level on points (17) with 17th-placed Troyes.

We say: Lille 2-0 Lorient

Lille's recent form has been impressive, and the champions have only lost one league game at home this season. Lorient do not travel well, meanwhile, so we are expecting Lille to collect all three points on Tuesday evening in relatively routine fashion.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Montpellier HSC will be looking to return to winning ways in Ligue 1 when they welcome relegation-threatened Troyes to Stade de la Mosson on Wednesday night.

The home side are currently eighth in France's top flight, boasting 31 points from their opening 20 matches of the season, while Troyes sit 17th, level on 17 points with 18th-placed Lorient.

We say: Montpellier HSC 2-0 Troyes

Montpellier suffered a setback against Strasbourg at the weekend, but the home side's recent form has been excellent, and we are fully expecting them to return to winning ways on Tuesday night at the expense of Troyes, who are battling to stay out of the relegation zone.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
