RC Lens currently sits in second place in the standings, with its most recent winning streak coming against FC Metz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Olympique de Marseille defeated Toulouse FC in recent meetings and retained third place in the league standings. They are currently competing in the Champions League, which highlights their recent good form. A disappointing run of results has pushed FC Nantes into the relegation zone, which could significantly affect their upcoming fixtures. FC Metz currently sits in the danger zone and is struggling with more issues in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-upcoming-matches-schedule\"><strong>Upcoming Matches
