At 3 p.m. always, place for a Breton derby, between Brest and Lorient. Pierre-Gabriel is absent in Brest, while Lemoine and Diarra are missing.
Clermont, which receives Bordeaux will seek to improve its victory in Marseille, but the Girondins, are last and also need points. Costil could make his return in goal, in Bordeaux.
At 5 p.m., OM, who are returning from a very long trip to Baku, will try to reduce their second place, winning in Troyes. If Irles has several uncertain players (including Ripart), Sampaoli can rely on a full group.
The 26th day will end with the match between Lyon and Lille. Both have the same objective: to get closer to European places. André is absent in Lille, while Lyon will do without Cherki, but could register Denayer’s return to the group.
