Havana, October 16 (RHC)-- Lille, defending champion of French Ligue 1 soccer, will visit today promoted Clermont with the aim of a victory to improve its eighth position in the tournament.

After a poor start, Les Dogues have won three consecutive victories, thanks to five goals scored by Canadian attacker Jonathan David in those matches.

Lille has 14 points in the campaign led by PSG (27), which beat fourth-placed Angers (16) 2-1 in the opening matchday 10.

Clermont are in 15th place with 10 points and will try to break a seven-game winless streak (four draws and three defeats) at their Gabriel Montpied stadium today.

In the other Saturday match, perhaps the most interesting of the day, Monaco (14) will visit Olympique Lyon (13), two of the best teams in Ligue 1, but with a very shaky start to the season.

The tenth matchday continues tomorrow with seven games, including runner-up Lens (18) on the road against Montpellier (10) and third-placed Nice (16) at home to another team promoted this season, Troyes (six).
