Absolutely no love lost between these two clubs and this is far and away the hottest derby in French football. The hosts would love to win this, three points would take them up above the Parisians and into second place, but they just look a level below both PSG and Monaco and although most teams will come away pointless from Dortmund, the level and manner of the 3-0 midweek defeat and earlier home loss to Arsenal, is a clear indication of where they stand in the bigger European picture.

Ligue 1:Sochaux-Lorient

This is a match the hosts dare not lose, they are just one one point above the drop zone, with the teams either side of them in the table playing each other today and with Les Lionceaux facing a daunting trip to Lille on Friday.
