Winless Monaco will look to kickstart their Ligue 1 season when they travel to Troyes on Sunday.
The Monegasques have picked up just one point from their opening three games, while the Grand Est side are also yet to pick up a victory following promotion from the second tier.
We say: Troyes 0-1 Monaco
Monaco find themselves going through a rough patch with the season not even a month old, but this could be the game that gives them a lift going into the international break.
Troyes are still finding their feet following promotion and have not shown much to suggest they will survive so far, so we think it will be a narrow away win.

High-flying Angers face a difficult test on Sunday, as they prepare to host Rennes at the Stade Raymond Kopa.
While Angers were held to a 1-1 draw at Bordeaux last weekend, Rennes registered their first three points of the campaign as they posted a narrow 1-0 victory over Nantes.
We say: Angers 1-1 Rennes
Given these two teams are equally matched on paper and have enjoyed respective solid starts to the Ligue 1 campaign, we are finding it quite difficult to separate them.
As we are expecting a cautious game with both sides wary of giving away their unbeaten record, the safest punt will be backing both sides to hit the target in a draw.

Facing off for the first time ever in Ligue 1, Clermont and Metz will be seeking a positive result when they lock horns at the Stade Gabriel Montpied on Sunday.
While Clermont have remained unbeaten in their three league matches so far, Metz are without a win and will be hopeful of producing a good performance to get the better of the hosts here.
We say: Clermont 2-0 Metz
Clermont have begun the campaign in brilliant fashion, showing no signs of slowing down and against an inconsistent Metz side, the hosts will fancy their chance of grabbing a win.
Also, Gastien's men have been lethal in front of goal, and are likely to cause Metz's frail backline all sorts of problems to secure a comfortable win without conceding.

Lens will be keen to secure back-to-back Ligue 1 wins when they play host to Lorient at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Sunday.
Last time out, Lens put in a good performance to see off AS Monaco as they recorded their first league win of the season at the third time of asking.
We say: Lens 2-0 Lorient
This should be a difficult game for the visiting contingent, who are missing some key players in defence, opening them up to the possibility of conceding a handful of goals.
Lens, who are unbeaten in the league so far, will fancy hitting a couple of goals past Lorient's frail backline to secure all three points.

Strasbourg vs. Brest (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Strasbourg and Brest will both go in search of their first wins of the season when they meet in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
After three games each, the Coureurs sit bottom of the table on one point, while the Pirates are 13th with two points.
We say: Strasbourg 1-2 Brest
Both of these teams will view this game as a big opportunity to get their first three points on the board, but we think it will be Brest who will emerge victorious. The visitors have been dealt a tough hand with their fixtures so far, but have shown signs that they are capable of improving upon last season.

Lille vs. Montpellier (Sunday, 4.00pm)

Following a disappointing start to their Ligue 1 title defence, Lille will be looking to bounce back and claim their first victory of the season when they face Montpellier HSC on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, secured their first three points last weekend against Lorient, though they head to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy having failed to win any of their last six meetings against Les Dogues.
We say: Lille 2-2 Montpellier HSC
Lille are desperate to turn their fortunes around but will need to improve defensively if they are to come out on top this weekend.
They may, however, struggle to cope with the attacking form of a Montpellier side, who we are predicting will claim a point on their travels.

Reims vs. PSG (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain will be seeking to maintain their perfect start to the new campaign when they travel to Reims on Sunday evening.
Recent reports have claimed that summer signing Lionel Messi is set to make his eagerly-awaited debut for the Parisian outfit at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II.
We say: Reims 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain
Despite the impending departure of Mbappe to Spain, there will still be too much talent on show for PSG, who are red hot favourites this weekend.
Their fixture against Reims is seemingly a good match on paper for both Messi and Neymar to get back up to speed and find their form in front of goal.
Pochettino's men possess greater quality in every position and they should have no problems in claiming all three points on their travels.
