Visitors' firepower to win out Angers v Lyon  (10th v 5th) Sat, 16:00 BST Live on Betfair Live Video This is the sort of fixture Lyon ought to win comfortably. They look the strongest bet to finish as runners-up to PSG this season and clearly have the talent to collect all three points this weekend. Injured Nabil Fekir  is unlikely to play any part but even without him Lyon have the attacking firepower to overcome willing but limited hosts.  Moussa Dembele ,  Memphis Depay  and  Bertrand Traore  have all provided moments of quality this season and were excellent at times in Lyon's 3-3 Champions League draw at Hoffenheim on Wednesday night. Mid-table is the best Angers can realistically aim for this campaign. Stephane Moulin's side lacks a striker capable of scoring 10 goals a season and will struggle to get back into the match if they fall behind.

Champions to cruise to another victory PSG v Amiens  (1st v 13th) Sat, 16:00 BST Live on Betfair Live Video PSG are looking to make it 10 out of 10 victories since the start of the season and are a good bet to win convincingly at Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon. Thomas Tuchel's side have played some outstanding football and Christophe Pelissier's limited visitors look likely to be their latest victims. Tuchel has given his South American players extra days off following the international break but the likes of Neymar and Edinson Cavani are expected to take part. Amiens are at best a mid-table team and it's hard to see them putting up meaningful resistance, even if PSG rest and rotate a couple of players. Paris have won 11 out of 12 games in all competitions this season and eight of those 11 victories came by a margin of three or more goals. At home PSG are even more dominant: five of their six victories have been by three or more goals, with an aver...

Leaders to make it eight in a row Nice v PSG  (11th v 1st) Saturday 16:15 BST Live on Betfair Live Video PSG are serial record collectors and the opportunity to equal one dating back more than 80 years should inspire them to victory at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday afternoon. Lille started the 1936-37 with eight straight victories and PSG will match that tally if they claim all three points on the Cote d'Azur this weekend. It would be madness to back against Thomas Tuchel's side right now given how they're playing: they've scored at least three goals in each of their seven Ligue 1 games, reserving their best performance of the season for their 4-1 victory over Reims on Wednesday night. Even more frightening for Nice is the prospect of a  hungry and determined Kylian Mbappe returning here after a three-match suspension.  The World Cup winner will have had fidgety feet watching his team-mates from the touchlines so expect a turbo-boosted performance from him...

St Etienne v Monaco Friday 19:45  (Live on BT Sport 2) Chaves raised hell in  Portugal last night . Kick-off in their game with Benfica was delayed by heavy rain. Nevertheless, the visitors twice took the lead, but twice they were pegged back and our bet was brought down as the game finished 2-2. We move on to  France . French domestic football has a reputation for producing few goals. It's a well-earned reputation - Ligue 1 games  are  lower scoring than games in Europe's other big leagues - and it impacts prices on goals markets in individual  Ligue 1  matches. Sometimes it can give you a big price on  Over 2.5 Goals , even when two teams' individual form guides both point towards Over 2.5 Goals. That's the situation we're in today and we're ready to make the most of it. Since  Jean-Louis Gasset  took charge of St Etienne, 10 of their 15 Ligue 1 games at  Stade Geoffroy-Guichard  have delivered Over 2.5 Goals. This sea...

Montpellier v Nice  (6th v 11th) Sat, 19:00 BST Live on Betfair Live Video Nice have finally found form under new manager  Patrick Vieira  and travel to Stade de la Mosson this weekend confident of avoiding defeat. Under Vieira, Nice won none of their opening three games of the season (W0-D2-L1) but consecutive victories either side of the international break mean The Eagles have finally taken off. Nice won 1-0 at Lyon and came from behind to clinch a deserved 2-1 victory over Rennes last weekend. They're not playing as fluently as they did during their best days under ex-manager Lucien Favre but the attitude and determination of the players in their recent victories will have heartened Vieira. Competition for places is also helping. Nice claimed all three points last weekend despite the fact that the talismanic  Mario Balotelli  was missing. The positive impact on the other players of winning without the Italy international should not be underestimate...
