This Friday evening at 21:05, Lille host Lens in what promises to be a fiery derby.
Lens are on a dismal run at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy . They have now gone four games without a win in Lille. LOSC's last home defeat in this fixture dates back to the 2020–21 season (2–1).
With the two sides neck and neck in Ligue 1, Lille will be looking to open up a gap, while Lens want to keep pace.
Plenty of entertainment at the Vélodrome, but results are urgently needed.
This Sunday evening, OM host Toulouse in the final game of the matchday, determined to keep their momentum going. Bruno Genesio's arrival in the Marseille dugout has certainly spiced things up: with a firing attack and matches full of twists and turns, Marseille are entertaining Ligue 1 while leaving their fans in a cold sweat.
Against a Toulouse side as determined as ever on the road, OM must prove they can combine entertainment with solidity. Get the popcorn ready!
This Friday at the Allianz Riviera, it's a head-to-head battle for European qualification, but above all a make-or-break match for Nice. After a rollercoaster start to the season, the Nice coach has a huge amount at stake.
Rennes, meanwhile, are on an impressive run, driven by a red-hot attacking duo. If Nice lose at home, things could get heated on the Côte d'Azur during the break or in the week ahead!
Which matches are you looking forward to most?
