Paris Saint-Germain will look to tighten their grip on the Ligue 1 title when they host Rennes on Sunday.
Lens won 3-0 at home to bottom-of-the-table Angers to cut the gap to nine points and will hope Rennes can do them a favour, as will Marseille, who travel to Reims in Sunday’s late game.
Bruno Genesio’s side lie sixth and have European ambitions of their own but PSG have recovered from their domestic wobble after the World Cup and are on a run of four consecutive Ligue 1 victories.
