Aiming to continue their sensational unbeaten streak, Lille will welcome a struggling Rennes outfit to Decathlon Arena on Sunday afternoon for a Ligue 1 clash.
Les Dogues are making waves domestically and on the continent so far this season, whilst Les Rouges et Noirs are failing to reach the heights of recent campaigns.
We say: Lille 2-1 Rennes
Despite a number of players sitting in the medical room, we are still expecting a solid performance from Champions League-competing Lille this weekend.
Rennes have endured a poor run of form against mid-table dwellers in recent weeks, so we do not fancy their chances at the home of Les Dogues in this one.

Two sides battling against relegation from Ligue 1 are set to come together on Sunday afternoon when Nantes host Le Havre at Stade de la Beaujoire.

We say: Nantes 1-0 Le Havre
The hosts may lack confidence after an eight-match winless run, but with home advantage and facing a Le Havre side that has scored just eight goals while conceding 23, we back the hosts to secure a victory here.

Auxerre are enjoying a superb run of form heading into this one, and while the visitors have been improved in recent weeks, with AJA boasting the home advantage, we believe they will win here.
