Bordeaux v Le Mans
Grenoble v Nancy
Nice v Lyon
Sochaux v Lorient
St Etienne v Valenciennes
Boulogne v Monaco
Rennes v Montpellier
Lens v Toulouse
Auxerre v Lille
Marseille v PSG
Top game this week sees under-pressure Antoine Kombouare take his Parisians to arch-rivals Marseille. The club have brushed off suggestions that a win is a must for Kombouare to retain his job, but results have not been as good as those under Paul Le Guen. Marseille had a decent enough win in the Champions League in the week and they remain just three points off the lead. Lyon still lead and are at lowly Nice this weekend after a terrific win in Liverpool in midweek. Loic Remy apart, Nice are poor and Lyon should walk all over them. They're level on points with promoted Montpellier, the season's, the continent's surprise package. They face Rennes on Saturday and there's no reason why they can't go and register their seventh win. Bordeaux are still up there and, coming off a good win in Europe in a turbulent game (two red cards, two missed penalties, Michael Ciani scoring at both ends) and they're at home to Le Mans. Home win. Monaco too are going well and they face Boulogne, fading after an encouraging start.
Are Grenoble the worst team in Europe? If not, then they're one hell of a contender. Winless after nine, Nancy aim to make it a perfect ten. Lens are at home to Toulouse who look like they may have turned the corner with the win over PSG last week. Lille were superb in beating Genoa 3-0 in midweek and are also upwardly mobile, as are Auxerre and the two clash in what looks a tasty clash. St Etienne and Sochaux pulled away from immediate danger with wins last time out. Sochaux's new found ability will be tested by European hopefuls Lorient while Les Verts are at home to mid-table Valenciennes.
