BT Sport from 2pm Sunday

St-Etienne v PSG

BT Sport 1, 8pm

Paris St-Germain's main focus this week has been the Champions League and they may take their eye off the ball this weekend, allowing St-Etienne to pick up a valuable point.

St-Etienne have the second-best home record in the division and can hold their own against the injury-hit Paris outfit, who are still without Neymar and Edinson Cavani.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Draw
1pt 17-5 188Bet

Key stat
St-Etienne have lost just two of their last 21 home league games.

Reims v Rennes

BT Sport ESPN, 4pm

Reims are consolidating a mid-table spot in Ligue 1 having chalked up some impressive results since the turn of the year, including a draw away to Lyon and a victory at home to Marseille.

Rennes saw their 2-0 lead over Real Betis evaporate in the Europa League on Thursday. The game finished 3-3 and they had just 25 per cent possession in a game that will likely have drained them. Reims look a value bet to take three points.

Liam Flin's recommendation
Reims
1pt 17-12 188Bet

Key stat
Reims are unbeaten in their last eight Ligue 1 fixtures.

Lille v Montpellier

BT Sport ESPN, 2pm

Lille were dumped out of the French Cup by Rennes at the last-16 stage but their bid to finish best of the rest in Ligue 1 has intensified since the turn of the year.

They have won all five of their league matches in 2019, including key victories against Marseille and Nice, while Montpellier's end product has been letting them down. They have drawn four of their last five games, failing to see off Dijon, Rennes, Nimes and Monaco.

Liam Flin's recommendation
Lille
1pt 10-11 Betway

Key stat
Lille have won three of their last five meetings with Montpellier.
