Lyon will look to extend their winning Ligue 1 run to four in a row when they take on Auxerre in a gameweek nine clash at the Groupama Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts come into this match off the back of a 1-0 loss to Besiktas in the Europa League in midweek, while the visitors won their last match against Reims last weekend.
We say: Lyon 3-1 Auxerre
After a stuttering start to the season, Lyon seem to now be in top gear in the league competition, and they will undoubtedly see this as a fixture in which they should be taking all three points.
Given Auxerre's dismal away from this season, it is difficult to make much of an argument against a win for the hosts in this one.

Nice and Monaco will renew hostilities when they face off in the Derby de la Cote d'Azur in Sunday's Ligue 1 clash at the Allianz Riviera.
Monaco head into the weekend in second spot in the Ligue 1 table, while the hosts will begin matchday nine in eighth position.
We say: Nice 1-3 Monaco
Monaco have won all three of their away league matches this season, and we think that they will continue to showcase their quality on the road by claiming maximum points in Sunday's derby clash to condemn Nice to their first home defeat of the season.

Strasbourg vs. Nantes (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Nantes will look to end a five-game winless run when they travel to Stade de la Meinau for Sunday's Ligue 1 clash with Strasbourg.
The hosts will also be desperate to clinch all three points after winning just one of their previous six league matches.
We say: Strasbourg 1-1 Nantes
Strasbourg and Nantes are both sitting level on 10 points, and we think the two closely-matched sides could produce a cagey encounter which could result in the spoils being shared, especially as two of the hosts' last two home matches have finished all square.

Marseille vs. PSG (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Looking to move level on points with their visitors at the summit of the French top flight, Marseille will welcome Paris Saint-Germain for the latest edition of Le Classique in Ligue 1 on Sunday night.
Les Olympiens are coming into this clash following their biggest win of the season to date, whilst Les Parisiens are recovering from a hard-fought Champions League contest earlier in the week.
We say: Marseille 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain
With PSG winless during their last three away matches across Ligue 1 and the Champions League, Marseille should be quietly confident of earning a positive result on Sunday afternoon.
That being said, after a respectable point versus PSV on the continent, we are expecting Les Parisiens to build some momentum by collecting three points this weekend.
