Following Saturday's win over Brest, OGC Nice will spend the international break on the French top-flight podium.

The victory against Brest on Saturday meant the Niçois moved up to third, and Sunday's results - notably Lille's win over Marseille - ensured they stayed there.

Paris Saint-Germain, beaten for the first time this season by Rennes on Sunday, are six points clear of Lens in second after they defeated Reims on Friday.

Christophe Galtier's men, who will play their match against Marseille in Troyes on 27 October, have 16 points and head Angers on goal difference (+13 to +5).

Troyes, Nice's next opponents on 17 October, were beaten 2-0 at Nantes.
