Clermont seek to continue their mini resurgence in Ligue 1 when they welcome Lens to the Stade Gabriel-Montpied in round 13's action on Saturday.
The relegation-threatened club went two games undefeated before the hiatus, and they could leave the bottom three positions if they beat the Champions League side, who are on an extended unbeaten sequence in the competition.
We say: Clermont 1-2 Lens
While a draw would not be a surprising outcome, Lens could nick a slender win in Clermont, extending their unbeaten run over the hosts and ending their opponent's two-game run without losing.

Strasbourg and Marseille are separated by five places in the Ligue 1 table heading into Saturday's round 13 clash at the Stade de la Meinau.
Patrick Vieira's men have not won since late September, while the away side have been defeated in two of their recent three league fixtures.
We say: Strasbourg 1-1 Marseille
The spoils could be shared at La Meinau on Saturday, with caution taking hold as both sides favour avoiding defeat rather than pushing for maximum points.
