Montpellier v NimesBT Sport ESPN, 4pm
Montpellier climbed to fifth before the weekend matches after a six-game unbeaten run but may struggle to justify favouritism at home to Nimes, who have impressed since last season's promotion.

Nimes have achieved draws against Bordeaux (3-3) and Monaco (1-1) on their last two road trips and can hold their own at Stade de la Mosson.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 12-5 general

Key stat
Nimes have drawn their last three fixtures.

Lille v MarseilleBT Sport 1, 8pm
Lille suffered a setback on Wednesday, losing 1-0 away to Bordeaux, but they can maintain their 100 per cent home record by beating Marseille.

Only basement boys Guingamp have conceded more goals than Marseille, who have lost two of their three away league games.

Recommendation
Lille
1pt 15-8 general

Key stat
Marseille have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven matches.
