Lyon will, it could be argued, have the opportunity to play without pressure as face a tough trip to Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Nice v Le Havre - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Nice have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 20 of their side's encounters in Ligue 1 have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Luka Elsner and his Le Havre side be able to inject goals into this encounter on Friday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Brest v Reims - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's what's required of Reims boss W. Still on Friday. His team faces Stade Brestois 29 having lost each of their last 3 Ligue 1 outings.
Clermont v Lyon - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Clermont Foot will be hoping not to add to the 13 times they have already lost at both halftime and fulltime this season when they face Lyon on Sunday. Pascal Gastien's side already lead the rest of Ligue 1 in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss P. Sage will be licking his lips, however.
