Two teams with contrasting objectives in Ligue 1 will come together on Sunday afternoon as relegation-threatened Nantes host Europe-chasing Lens at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
The hosts are 15th in the standings with 21 points from 22 matches, while the visitors are eighth in the league table with 33 points from 22 games played.
We say: Nantes 1-2 Lens
Both sides will be desperate for the victory to end their current losing runs, but with Lens boasting the superior squad and better form throughout the season, we believe the visitors will secure a narrow win.

Relegation-threatened Le Havre will continue their Ligue 1 survival bid when they welcome Toulouse to Stade Oceane on Sunday.
The hosts are languishing in 17th place in the Ligue 1 table, while the visitors will head into the weekend in 10th position.
We say: Le Havre 1-2 Toulouse
Toulouse may be experiencing a poor run of form, but we think Sunday's fixture against relegation-threatened Le Havre represents the perfect opportunity for them to return to winning ways, especially as the hosts have lost each of their previous six home matches in Ligue 1.

Two sides battling for a European place will go head-to-head at Stade de la Meinau this Sunday, as Strasbourg welcome Brest for matchday 23 of Ligue 1.
Only one point separates them, with the hosts sitting seventh on 33 points, three adrift of the Conference League playoff spot, while the visitors are ninth in the standings.
We say: Strasbourg 2-2 Brest
While Strasbourg carry momentum into this clash with back-to-back wins and a strong home record this season, their struggles against Brest in recent meetings remain a concern.
The visitors, meanwhile, have shown greater consistency on their recent top-flight travels, making a stalemate the likely outcome given both sides' resilience.

Two teams at opposite ends of the Ligue 1 table meet this weekend as Champions League hopefuls Nice welcome relegation-threatened Montpellier HSC for a matchweek 23 encounter.
The hosts sit third with 40 points from 11 wins, seven draws and four losses, while the visitors remain rooted to the foot of the standings, having collected just 15 points (4W, 3D, 15L).
We say: Nice 3-1 Montpellier HSC
Nice are clear favourites heading into this encounter, boasting impressive form and a formidable home record, while Montpellier's away struggles and leaky defence suggest a straightforward win for the hosts.

Lyon vs. PSG (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Both looking to add to their respective winning streaks, Lyon will welcome French champions Paris Saint-Germain to Groupama Stadium for a Ligue 1 clash on Sunday night.
Les Gones have recorded back-to-back triumphs following a troubling start to February, whereas Les Parisiens are well on course to continue their domestic dominance.
We say: Lyon 0-2 Paris Saint-Germain
Dispatching opponents with ease in recent weeks, PSG should be supremely confident of continuing that trend against Lyon on Sunday night.
Le Gones were convincing during the second half of their Montpellier smashing last time out, although the conquering of Les Parisiens should prove impossible for Fonseca's troops.
