Marseille's trip to Nice should provide plenty of entertainment

BT Sport, from 2pm Sunday

Montpellier v BordeauxBT Sport ESPN, 2pm
Montpellier, unbeaten since their opening-day loss to Dijon, will have their work cut out seeing off a Bordeaux side revived domestically under Eric Bedouet.

The hosts went into round ten in fourth despite having scored only 12 goals so, even though this fixture has a recent history of goals with 16 in the last four, this promises to be less action-packed.

Recommendation
One or both teams not to score
1pt 7-10 bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes

Key stat
Bordeaux have kept three successive clean sheets in Ligue 1.

St Etienne v RennesBT Sport ESPN, 4pm
St-Etienne are historically strong at the Geoffroy-Guichard and are unbeaten in four on home soil.

But ex-Rennes man Yann M’Vila and his team-mates know the Bretons represent a sterner test than their four previous visitors this term, who were all in the bottom eight going into this round of fixtures.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 23-10 Betfair, 188Bet

Key stat
St-Etienne have lost only one of their last 13 home league matches.

Nice v MarseilleBT Sport 1, 8pm
Marseille have yet to be involved in a game which hasn’t produced at least two goals this season so don’t expect any let-up along the coast at Nice.

The summer transfer tug-of-war over Mario Balotelli adds extra spice to the fixture and having seen his side lose three times at home already this season, Patrick Vieira needs to stop the rot.

Recommendation
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
2pts Evs Coral, Sky Bet

Key stat
Marseille started this round of fixtures with the worst away defensive record in Ligue 1.
