Valenciennes v Monaco
Montpellier v Le Mans
Nice v Marseille
Rennes v Lorient
St Etienne v Sochaux
Bordeaux v PSG
Grenoble v Toulouse
Auxerre v Nancy
Boulogne v Lens
Lille v Lyon
Top game this week sees PSG travel to leaders Bordeaux. A good week for the Parisians sees them travel in good spirits and they have players back on deck; Stephane Sessegnon back from suspension and Mamadou Sakho and Marcos Ceara from illness. Guillaume Hoarau and Gregory Coupet are out, the latter with a badly broken leg sustained in the win over Auxerre. Bordeaux have Yoann Gourcuff back in contention, but Brazilian duo Wendel and Fernando are both suspended. PSG may lie in seventh, but they're only six points off the top. A win for them here and they are suddenly contenders.
Should Bordeaux trip up, Lyon can go ahead of them with a win over Lille. That won't be easy as Lille have come into some form in the league, though they were humped in the Europa League this week by Valencia. Auxerre, meanwhile, should return to winning ways against Nancy. Lorient have propelled themselves into fourth, just three points back from the summit. They have a tough game against Rennes this week which is a game between two well-matched outfits. Montpellier are still right in there and should be too good for Le Mans this week. Valenciennes's away form has seen them creep up the table. They're at home this week against Monaco who are also right in the mix. Marseille aren't a million miles away and still have that game in hand. They're away at Nice this week, a tough fixture at the best of times, and it should be fiery. It's all shaping up for a fascinating season.
Grenoble's fruitless search for a win looks set to roll over to next week as they welcome Toulouse to Stade des Alpes and there's a huge game at the bottom between Boulogne and Lens. St Etienne are at home to Sochaux with both sides desperate for points to ease away from immediate danger.
