9/20 PSG | Draw 39/10 | Monaco 48/10 (22:00)
French Star Kylian Mbappe netted a hat-trick during France’s record 14-0 win over Gibraltar on Saturday. Coming into PSG’s crucial top-of-the-table encounter with Monaco, I expect him to be at his best and once again find the back pf the net here. Monaco have slowly fallen off the summit, but a win here shoots them up to back to the top! Top game to kick-off the weekend’s action…. I see PSG edging a win here at 9/20.

26/10 Clermont Foot | Draw 24/10 | Lens 1/1 (18:00)
Clermont Foot have two wins from their last five matches ahead of their Saturday clash with 6th Lens. The hosts have scored the least goals in the league this season and should be concerned by that as Lens have scored five in their last four matches. Lens to win at 1/1.
28/10 Strasbourg | Draw 51/20 | Marseille 9/10 (22:00)
Marseille and Strasbourg will meet inside the Stade de la Meinau on Saturday as they both look to bounce back from a string of negative results in the league. Strasbourg have dropped to 15th after failing to win in their last five games (2 draws and 3 defeats), while Marseille have been very inconsistent. I see a draw here at 51/20.
Sunday, 26 November
5/10 Nice | Draw 31/10 | Toulouse 52/10 (14:00)
Toulouse have not won a league match in their last five attempts as they prepare to face second-place Nice away from home on Sunday afternoon. Nice are the only undefeated side in the league and undoubtedly deservedly so. They have been too good at the back with just four goals conceded all season. Nice win here – 5/10.
5/4 Montpellier | Draw 47/20 | Brest 28/10 (16:00)
Stade Brest will look to turn a corner when they visit Montpellier on Sunday. They have not won in their last five matches and have dropped to 8th as a result. Meanwhile, Montpellier drew their last encounter against Nice – giving them some much-needed confidence ahead of this clash. Go for the HOME WIN at 5/4.
19/20 Lorient | Draw 24/10 | Metz 28/10 (16:00)
Metz will look to build on from their recent confidence-boosting win over Nantes when they face Lorient away from home on Sunday. The hosts only have one win from their last five games and have conceded 6 goals in that period. For Metz, a win here would see them shoot up to 16 points, while Lorient would need to start panicking should they lose here. Both Teams to Score (Yes) – 9/10.
21/20 Nantes | Draw 23/10 | Le Havre 51/20 (16:00)
Nantes have suffered three successive defeats in the league as they gear up for their encounter with 7th Le Havre on Sunday. Both sides will see an opportunity to claim all three points here after a frustrating last couple of weeks. Nantes have conceded 23 goals this season, 10 more than their opponents. The away win is tipped for Havre at 51/20.
17/20 Rennes | Draw 24/10 | Reims 28/10 (18:05)
Reims were completely demolished by PSG in their last game where Mbappe netted a hat-trick to move his side to the top of the log. They now face Rennes away from home as they look to bounce back and cement a spot in the top 4. Rennes are having a tough time of late with four defeats from their last five games. They have seen red cards in their last three games as a result of a lack of discipline. Go for Reims on the away win – 28/10.
37/20 Lyon | Draw 24/10 | LOSC 27/20 (21:45)
After picking up their first win of the season against Rennes last time out, I expect Olympic Lyon to come here a completely different team than what we have seen in their first 10 matches where they failed to record positive results. But LOSC are not to be underestimated here; they sit in 4th spot and have not been defeated in their last five games. A tight game to call here; First Team to Score – LOSC Lille (17/20).
