With their hopes of qualifying for European competition at risk, out-of-sorts Brest are set to host Angers at Stade Francis-Le Ble as part of Sunday's Ligue 1 action.
Les Pirates have been in dire form in recent weeks and will be desperate to get back on track this weekend.
We say: Brest 1-2 Angers
Neither side are in the best form at the moment, but considering that Angers have performed well on the road this season, they are likely to put in another strong display this weekend.
Also stacking up against Brest on Sunday is that fact that they have been poor at home in 2025, and their dire record makes a win for Le SCO look more likely.

Le Havre vs. St Etienne (Sunday, 4.15pm)

In a Ligue 1 relegation six-pointer, Le Havre will welcome fellow strugglers Saint-Etienne to Stade Oceane on Sunday.
Le Club Doyen are at serious risk of demotion but they have improved in recent weeks, while Les Verts have been in dire form ahead of this weekend.
We say: Le Havre 2-0 Saint-Etienne
Le Havre may only be in mixed form at the moment, but their results in 2025 have been significantly better than St Etienne's, who have won just once in the last three months.
Additionally, even though Le Club Doyen are on an awful losing streak at home, the visitors have lost almost all of their away matches this term, and are likely to taste defeat once again on Sunday.

Two sides struggling in Ligue 1 will come together on Sunday afternoon as Reims are set to host Auxerre at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II.
The home team are 15th in the standings and just two points above the drop zone, while the visitors are 12th and only eight points above the bottom three.
We say: Reims 0-1 Auxerre
Reims are enduring a dismal winless run coming into this game, while they have failed to score in their last four league outings, and with Auxerre producing encouraging performances in recent outings, we believe the visitors will win here.

Nantes vs. Strasbourg (Sunday, 4.15pm)

Strasbourg travel to Nantes in Ligue 1 this weekend as they continue to hunt down Lyon in the fight for European football next season.
The visitors are currently seventh in the standings, just two points behind OL, who currently occupy the final European position.
We say: Nantes 0-1 Strasbourg
Strasbourg have found ways to win in recent weeks, and although Nantes need the points, we think that the visitors will just about edge this one.
With games against Toulouse and Lyon in the coming weeks, Rosenior's side will want to take all three points before they play two sides that are closer to them in the table, and we expect them to do just that this weekend.

Nice vs. Lyon (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Third meets sixth in Ligue 1 this weekend, as Nice host Lyon at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday evening.
Seven points separate the two sides in the table, and realistically, the visitors need to win this match to have any real shot at qualifying for the Champions League next season.
We say: Nice 1-1 Lyon
Both of these sides will want to win this one, but we feel that it will end in an entertaining draw.
Lyon have plenty of quality in attack, and we think that they are capable of getting a point against a tricky opponent.
