Lille travel to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to face Lens on Saturday afternoon in the sixth round of games of this developing Ligue 1 season.
The visitors may be the reigning champions, but it is the home side who are having the better campaign so far this season.
We say: Lens 2-2 Lille
Lens have already beaten one of last season's title contenders, when they saw off Monaco 2-0 away from home. Lille will be determined to get their season going, however, and - considering the two teams' defensive deficiencies - we are backing a high-scoring draw here.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

St Etienne vs. Bordeaux (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Saint-Etienne welcome Bordeaux to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Saturday evening, in a clash of Ligue 1's two bottom sides.
Neither team has managed a win yet this campaign, and they have conceded a combined 21 goals in just five games.
We say: Saint-Etienne 2-1 Bordeaux
Both teams are determined to return to winning ways in the top flight, but seeing as Saint-Etienne can be a force to be reckoned with at home on their day, we predict that the visitors will return to the south-west empty-handed after a narrow loss.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
