Fifth meets third as early frontrunners Paris FC and Rennes clash at Stade Jean-Bouin with just two points separating them after six matches.
Paris FC sit fifth with 11 points after six games, having made a strong start to the campaign under Liam Rosenior. Although they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Lorient last weekend, the capital club have been formidable on home turf, winning two of their three league matches at Stade Jean-Bouin while conceding just once.
Rennes occupy third spot on 13 points after six games under Franck Haise. The Brittany side quickly rebounded from a 4-0 defeat away at Lyon by beating Auxerre 4-1 last Sunday, though their form on the road remains a concern after failing to find the net in their last two competitive away trips.
