In an effort to beat the worst of the cold conditions this weekend, the LFP's Competitions Commission has brought six Week 23 matches forward to 15:00 CET kick-offs.
The Week 23 matches in question include Auxerre-Lorient, Lyon-Caen, Montpellier-Ajaccio, Valenciennes-Nancy and Evian Marseille - all originally set for a 19:00 kick-off on Saturday evening. Brest-Dijon has been maintained in its 19:00 timeslot, with weather forecasts predicting temperatures of around 7°C that shouldn't impede the playing of the match.
Bordeaux's Week 23 trip to Lille, originally scheduled to kick off at 19:00 on Sunday evening, has also been brought forward to 15:00 on the Sunday afternoon.
