Le Havre v Paris Saint-Germain
Le Havre are 18th on two points, with two draws and six defeats, and have lost their last four, the latest the 3-4 at Marseille. They have scored eight goals, conceded 15 and kept one clean sheet. Paris Saint-Germain are top on 17 and have won their last five, scoring 11 and conceding three, the latest a 2-0 win over Lyon on 26 October. They have not lost away, with three wins and two draws from five, and their only defeat of the season was at home, 1-2 against Monaco on 4 September. The history is one-sided: PSG have won five of six meetings on our site, with one draw, and Le Havre have not won any, the latest a 1-0 PSG win at Le Havre on 28 February. Josh Maja has three goals for Le Havre and Ferran Torres four for PSG. PSG list Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Ousmane Dembélé and Alessandro Longoni as injured, and Le Havre also list five, from Elias Jelert to Stephan Zagadou.
Lille v Lens
Lille have the joint-best defence in Ligue 1, six goals conceded in eight games, level with Lorient, and four clean sheets, but they have drawn their last two, 1-1 against Brest and 1-1 at Monaco, and are third on 15 points. Ayase Ueda and Tiago Santos, the club's joint top scorers on two goals each, are both injured, and Tanguy Nianzou is unavailable through a red card suspension. Lens are seventh on 13 points and have won their last three, the latest 2-1 against Paris FC on 24 October. They have scored 10 in their last five games, but conceded seven and have not kept a clean sheet all season. Florian Thauvin has four goals. Lille have won seven of the 12 meetings on our site to Lens's three, with two draws, and the latest was a 3-0 Lille win on 4 April, though Lens won 3-0 in the meeting before it, on 20 September.
Nice v Rennes
Rennes are second on 16 points and level with Marseille on 18 goals scored, the most in the league, and Estéban Lepaul has seven of them, so the ankle sprain that has him listed as injured is the main team news. Rennes have been far better at home, four wins and a draw in five games, than away, where they have won one of three, losing 0-4 at Lyon and 3-4 at Paris FC. Nice are 10th on 11 points and unbeaten at home, with two wins and two draws, five goals scored and three conceded. They won 2-1 at Brest on 23 October. On our site Nice have won eight of 16 meetings to Rennes's five, with three draws, though Rennes won the latest 4-0 on 8 March, after a 2-1 Nice win in the meeting before it. Elye Wahi has three goals for Nice and Sebastian Szymański three for Rennes. Nice list Ali Abdi, Antoine Mendy and Laurent Abergel, and Rennes list Gonçalo Oliveira as well as Lepaul.
Troyes v Le Mans
Troyes have scored five goals in eight games, the fewest in Ligue 1, and have failed to score in four of their last five, which has them 17th on five points and without a win in six. At home they have lost three of four and conceded 11 goals, though they did draw 0-0 at Toulouse last Sunday. Le Mans are 15th on seven points, have not kept a clean sheet all season and are without a win in three, the latest a 1-1 draw at Auxerre. Our records hold no earlier meeting between the clubs.

Lyon v Angers
Lyon are fifth on 14 points and strongest at home, with three wins and a draw from four, 10 goals scored and three conceded, though they lost 0-2 at Paris Saint-Germain on 26 October. Angers are 14th on eight points and without a win in three, with five goals scored and 10 conceded in their last five, among them a 2-5 home defeat by Marseille on 18 October, before a 0-0 draw with Lorient last Sunday. The history favours Lyon heavily: 11 wins in 13 meetings on our site to Angers's one, with one draw, and Lyon are unbeaten in the last seven, the latest a 0-0 at Angers on 5 April. Ernest Nuamah has three goals for Lyon, who list four injured: Loïs Openda, who has a broken fibula, Mohamed Ouédraogo, Nicolás Tagliafico and Pavel Sulc, who has started seven of eight games and has a meniscus injury. Our fixture page lists no absentees for Angers, where Prosper Peter and Amine El Ouazzani lead the scoring with two each.

Strasbourg v Auxerre
The two clubs have identical goal records, 12 scored and 18 conceded, and very different recent form.
