Ligue 1's basement side play hosts to the league leaders on Wednesday evening as Dijon welcome Lille to the North-East of France.
Christophe Galtier's men jumped to the summit of French football over the weekend after Paris Saint-Germain suffered their fourth domestic defeat of the season and will see this as the perfect opportunity to cement their place at the top.
We say: Dijon 0-3 Lille
In 2019-20 these two shared a pair of 1-0 home victories, but with their vastly opposing early fortunes, this time around it is hard to see Dijon repeating the trick at the Stade Gaston Gerard.
Lille should have too much firepower for Linares's struggling side and will likely come away comfortable winners.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Angers welcome Strasbourg to the Raymond Kopa Stadium on Wednesday evening as both sides aim to extend their three-game unbeaten runs.
This Ligue 1 clash pits seventh against 16th after contrasting starts to the new campaign has left the sides with differing ambitions for the remainder of the season.
We say: Angers 2-1 Strasbourg
Both sides come into this encounter in good form and will believe that they can get something from the match. Strasbourg travel well, but Angers should just have too much for them on this occasion.

Montpellier HSC will be looking to continue their charge for a Champions League berth in Ligue 1 when they welcome Metz to the Stade de la Mosson on Wednesday evening.
The hosts came up trumps in a five-goal thriller with Lens last time out, whereas Metz's winless run continued as they played out a 2-2 draw with Strasbourg.
We say: Montpellier HSC 2-0 Metz
Metz's winless run does not reflect how the visitors have performed this season at all, but Les Grenats are fighting an uphill battle to walk away with something to show for their efforts at Montpellier. Der Zakarian's men are firing on all cylinders and have been given an uplift with the return of Delort, so this should be a comfortable home win.

Reims host Nantes in Wednesday's Ligue 1 encounter, with both sides looking to end their recent run of poor form.
David Guion's men are currently languishing in the relegation zone after picking up just two wins in the league so far this season but will see the visit of Nantes as a good opportunity to kickstart their struggling campaign.
We say: Reims 1-1 Nantes
It should be a tightly contested affair between two evenly matched teams. A win for Reims would likely see them climb out of the relegation zone, whereas a win for Nantes could put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three.
With so much at stake for both teams, it could end up in a stalemate with neither side prepared to risk coming away without a point.

Nimes and Nice will both be looking to bounce back from respective defeats in Ligue 1 when the two strugglers go head to head at the Stade des Costieres on Wednesday evening.
Jerome Arpinon's men suffered a crushing defeat to Lorient in their most recent outing, whereas Nice fell to defeat to Rennes at the weekend.
We say: Nimes 0-2 Nice
Both Nimes and Nice will view this game as an excellent opportunity to end their respective winless runs, and a first victory for the visitors under Ursea would be a welcome uplift for the Aiglons faithful. Nice have fared better on the road than on their own turf this season, and given Nimes' troubles both offensively and defensively, we can see the visitors coming away with all three points.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Lyon vs. Brest (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Fresh from a memorable victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon will be looking to stretch their winning run in Ligue 1 to six matches when they take on Brest on Wednesday evening.
The hosts sit second in the table heading into the fixture at the Groupama Stadium, whereas Brest's strong run of form sees them occupy 10th spot after 14 matches.
We say: Lyon 3-1 Brest
Brest do not boast the same quality as PSG do in all areas of the pitch, but the visitors are in a terrific place and are sure to give Lyon a good run for their money. However, the hosts will feel unstoppable after beating the champions - with a clean sheet to boot - and Garcia's men should run out comfortable winners on their own turf.

Bordeaux vs. St Etienne (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

A Bordeaux side looking to bounce back from defeat host a Saint-Etienne team who are currently on an 11-game winless run on Wednesday evening.
Claude Puel's side are enduring from a torrid time of late, and the former Southampton and Leicester City manager will be desperate for a good result as the pressure mounts.
We say: Bordeaux 0-0 Saint-Etienne
With Bordeaux experts at keeping clean sheets and Saint-Etienne finding it hard to score, a low scoring affair is expected in midweek. Puel needs to pick up three points sooner rather than later if he wants to keep his job, but away to Bordeaux may be too big an ask, and the sides are likely to take home a share of the spoils.

Monaco head into their Ligue 1 encounter with Lens on Wednesday night hoping to close the three-point gap between themselves and the top-four.
Lens, meanwhile, travel to the Stade Louis II having won their last two league matches on the road without conceding a goal.
We say: Monaco 2-1 Lens
Lens have proved throughout this season that they are capable of competing at this level. However, the Sang et Or face a Monaco side undefeated at home and who will be keen to ensure that they do not lose three matches on the bounce. We expect the home side to secure a narrow victory on Wednesday night.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

PSG vs. Lorient (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to bounce back from their disheatening defeat to Lyon when the champions welcome a struggling Lorient to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.
PSG were knocked off top spot following that loss on Sunday, whereas Lorient managed to lift themselves out of the relegation zone with a 3-0 win over Nimes.
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 Lorient
In a week where former PSG manager Gerard Houllier sadly passed away at the age of 73, the champions will no doubt want to go out there and produce a performance that the late Frenchman would have been proud of. Lorient will be buoyed after ending their winless run in impressive fashion against Nimes, but the visitors will be no match for Tuchel's men, who should record a straightforward victory over the strugglers.

Marseille will be looking to strengthen their Ligue 1 title credentials when they make the trip to Rennes on Wednesday evening.
Les Phoceens have won their last six matches and enter the midweek round of fixtures two points off top spot, while Rennes are five points worse off in eighth.
We say: Rennes 1-2 Marseille
Both sides are now focusing on domestic matters after exiting the Champions League with a whimper.
Whereas Rennes have been pretty inconsistent in Ligue 1 so far, Marseille are Europe's form side right now and should have enough to pick up three more points on Wednesday.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
