Scores
Raphaël: 211
Luke: 211
Game of the week: Lille OSC v Olympique de Marseille, Saturday 20:00 (UK)
Luke: The title could be decided this weekend if results go in PSG’s favour. Realistically, Lens need to beat Lorient to keep up the chase with Les Parisiens coming up against relegation-strugglers Auxerre. How will Franck Haise’s men react to the pressure? The only other team that can mathematically still win the title, Marseille, face a tough trip to Lille, who are embroiled in a fierce race for European football.
There is another European battle at the Groupama Stadium. Only a win will do for Laurent Blanc’s Lyon side, whilst a victory for Monaco would all but seal Europa League football next season. At the bottom, Nantes’ fight for survival is becoming more and more desperate as the weeks pass. They may find it difficult against a reinvigorated Montpellier side.
