This weekend, Lens will travel to Stade de l’Aube to face Troyes in a match that might determine the Ligue 1 champion.
Les Sang et Or moved within three points of league leaders Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 victory over Auxerre last weekend, while ESTAC sit three points above the relegation zone following a 5-1 loss at Lille on Sunday.
Troyes vs. Lens (Saturday, 4.00pm)
We say: Lens 1-3 Troyes
Lens may not be a prolific scoring team, but there are numerous flaws in the Troyes defense that Kisnorbo must plug, and given the consistency and defensive strength of the visitors, we anticipate that they will be able to score multiple goals and maintain pressure on PSG at the top of the league.
Saturday sees the hottest team in Ligue 1 return to the Stade Velodrome as Marseille visit Monaco in pursuit of their seventh consecutive home victory.
Marseille vs. Monaco (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Since the domestic season resumed one month ago, Les Olympiens and Les Monegasques have accumulated the most points in the league, with 12 and 10 points, respectively.
We say: Marseille 2-2 Monaco
Both clubs are coming off of great performances last weekend, albeit for different reasons. As good as Marseille have been at home this season, Les Monegasques have done well on the road, suffering only one domestic defeat.
