Seeking to return to winnings ways after suffering a midweek defeat in Europe, Monaco travel to Northeastern France to face Reims in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The hosts are yet to win at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II so far this season, while the visitors have picked up seven points from a possible nine on the road.
We say: Reims 1-2 Monaco
Reims have a good record against Monaco in recent years, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 Ligue 1 fixtures, so the visitors – who have scored in each of their last 17 league games – will fancy their chances of finding the net.
Monaco will be the favourites on Sunday and we can see them bouncing back from their midweek defeat to claim maximum points.

Two sides fighting around the middle of the Ligue 1 table will square off on Sunday, as Clermont entertain Troyes.
A defeat last time out saw the visitors drop to 13th spot with seven points from their seven outings, while their opponents are three points better off following a victory and a draw in their last two games.
We say: Clermont 1-0 Troyes
Given the hosts' record at both ends of the pitch, we anticipate a low-scoring encounter on Sunday which could be decided by a singular goal.
With a degree of confidence following their last two results, Clermont should have enough to find that goal, and we back them to see out a narrow victory on home turf.

Two Ligue 1 teams in the bottom half of the table will meet on Sunday when Nice welcome Angers to the Allianz Riviera.
The hosts are yet to win on home soil so far this season, while the visitors are winless in their last 13 top-flight away matches.
We say: Nice 2-1 Angers
A closely-fought contest between two underperforming sides is set to take place at the Allianz Riviera, but Nice will be regarded as the favourites to claim maximum points.
The hosts did the double over Angers last season, winning by a one-goal margin on both occasions, and we can see a similar outcome on Sunday.

Marseille will be looking to claim their sixth successive Ligue 1 victory when they welcome Rennes to the Stade Velodrome on Sunday.
While the hosts are sitting joint top of the table, the visitors are four places and eight points further back in sixth.
We say: Marseille 2-1 Rennes
Both sides will be looking to bounce back with a win on Sunday and head into the international break on a high after failing to claim maximum points in Europe.
Marseille will be regarded as the favourites given their start to the season, and although they were unable to score in midweek, we can see them having more joy in front of goal this weekend.

Two teams struggling inside the Ligue 1 relegation zone will do battle on Sunday when basement club Ajaccio travel to the Stade Francis-Le Ble to face Brest.
The visitors are yet to win on the road this term, while the hosts have failed to win each of their last three home games, conceding nine goals in the process.
We say: Brest 2-1 Ajaccio
Both sides will view this fixture as a good opportunity to turn their fortunes around and begin to put a positive run of form together.
After Brest showed promising signs of improvement against PSG, we can see the hosts coming out on top this weekend.

Lens will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start in Ligue 1 when they travel to the Stade de la Beaujoire to face Nantes on Sunday.
While the hosts are down in 15th place with just six points from seven games, the visitors are flying high in third place with 17 points from as many matches.
We say: Nantes 1-2 Lens
Although Lens have struggled over the years when facing Nantes away from home, the visitors are in fine form at present and will be confident of coming away with all three points on Sunday.
The hosts will be keen to respond with a positive performance and result in front of their own fans following their midweek defeat in Europe, but we can see Les Sang et Or claiming a slender win on this occasion.

Lyon vs. PSG (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will endeavour to cement their position at the top of the Ligue 1 table when they travel to the Groupama Stadium to face Lyon on Sunday night.
Les Gones went down 2-1 to Monaco last weekend, while the French champions survived a scare to beat Maccabi Haifa 3-1 in the Champions League.
We say: Lyon 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
No matter how suspect Lyon are on the defensive front, Bosz's side always carry a threat going forwards, and another slow start for PSG could see them pay the price as it did against Maccabi Haifa.
However, Les Gones' leaky defence is there to be penetrated by PSG's star-studded trio, and we can only picture the Parisiens juggernaut rolling on before the international break.
