Aiming to continue their sensational unbeaten streak, Lille will welcome a struggling Rennes outfit to Decathlon Arena on Sunday afternoon for a Ligue 1 clash.
Les Dogues are making waves domestically and on the continent so far this season, whilst Les Rouges et Noirs are failing to reach the heights of recent campaigns.
We say: Lille 2-1 Rennes
Despite a number of players sitting in the medical room, we are still expecting a solid performance from Champions League-competing Lille this weekend.
Rennes have endured a poor run of form against mid-table dwellers in recent weeks, so we do not fancy their chances at the home of Les Dogues in this one.

Two sides battling against relegation from Ligue 1 are set to come together on Sunday afternoon when Nantes host Le Havre at Stade de la Beaujoire.
The hosts are 14th in the standings with 10 points from their 11 matches, while the visitors are in 17th with nine points from their opening 11 games.
We say: Nantes 1-0 Le Havre
The hosts may lack confidence after an eight-match winless run, but with home advantage and facing a Le Havre side that has scored just eight goals while conceding 23, we back the hosts to secure a victory here.

Auxerre are enjoying a superb run of form heading into this one, and while the visitors have been improved in recent weeks, with AJA boasting the home advantage, we believe they will win here.
