Ligue 1 leaders Monaco will aim to extend their unbeaten start to the season when they take on Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir in Sunday's early kickoff.
Les Monegasques have taken 10 points from a possible 12 this term, scoring 13 goals in the process, while Les Merlus have picked up five points so far.
We say: Lorient 1-3 Monaco
Given that Monaco have scored at least three goals in each of their four matches this term, we expect Hutter's men to notch another high-scoring victory over Lorient, who have struggled for consistency during the early stages of the season.

Striving for consistency under Patrick Vieira, Strasbourg welcome Montpellier HSC to the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday as Ligue 1 returns following the international break.
While the hosts have recorded two wins and two losses this season, the visitors have taken four points from a possible 12, meaning that both sides will be eager to triumph this weekend.
We say: Strasbourg 2-1 Montpellier HSC
Although Strasbourg have struggled for consistency this season, Vieira's side have won both of their home games, scoring two goals against Lyon and Toulouse.
With that in mind, we expect the hosts to claim all three points on Sunday, although Montpellier are expected to push Le Racing all the way.

Two sides searching for their first win of the Ligue 1 season will go head-to-head on Sunday when Clermont welcome Nantes to Stade Gabriel Montpied.
Clermont have taken just one point from their opening four games, while the visitors are just one point better off than their opponents.
We say: Clermont 1-1 Nantes
While both teams come into the contest with hopes of claiming their first win of the season, we think that the two struggling sides could produce a cagey contest, which we believe will result in the spoils being shared.

Reims will look to extend their unbeaten run to four matches when they play host to Brest in Sunday's Ligue 1 contest.
Like their hosts, Brest have also made an encouraging start to the new season after collecting seven points from their opening four games.
We say: Reims 1-1 Brest
Three of the last four meetings between Reims and Brest have finished with a 1-1 scoreline, and with the two sides currently sitting on the same number of points, we think that a closely-fought contest could produce a familiar result.

Bidding to preserve their unbeaten record in 2023-24, Marseille entertain Toulouse at the Stade Velodrome on Sunday afternoon.

We say: Marseille 3-1 Toulouse
While Toulouse have made a decent start to the season, we expect Marseille to maintain their unbeaten record by claiming a relatively comfortable victory on home soil.

Following the sacking of Laurent Blanc, managerless Lyon will aim to secure their first Ligue 1 victory of the season when Le Havre visit the Groupama Stadium on Sunday evening.
Los Gones are rooted to the foot of the table after taking a solitary point from their opening four games, while last season's Ligue 2 champions find themselves in the top half.
We say: Lyon 3-2 Le Havre
Regardless of what happened before the international break, Lyon will view Sunday's clash as the ideal opportunity to kick-start their season.
There is no hiding the fact that Lyon and Le Havre have experienced contrasting starts to the 2023-24 campaign, but OL can play with freedom following Blanc's departure.
