They could not take advantage while the two red cards were shown in the injury time by the end of the game. Yet Nantes weren't able to added another goal after they got the draw unfortunately for them since they aren't far from the relegation zone.

PSG and Lille are way favourite than their rivals and they were supposed to advance in Serie A.

Signing a good player won't be an issue for PSG, but it will be difficult to replace Mbappe's quality. Having Enrique as the manager is an advantage for PSG, because he knows how to make things work when the team needs adjustment for new players to settle. They won't be struggling to compete in Ligue 1 without Mbappe, but their main ambition is always Champions League trophy.

Mbappe leaving will undoubtedly affect their attacking prowess, therefore Enrique just need to reduce their dependence on the brilliance of one player. A new Left Forward with Dembele as Right Forward would still make their front line strong enough with tactical adjustment. Collective efforts of a team as a unit can be more threatening than a dependence on the brilliance of one player. I believe Enrique will still make a dominant team in Ligue 1 and a reckonable team in Champions League.

Facing Le Havre should not be difficult for PSG, so maybe PSG will field many of their reserve players in the game later, currently PSG only needs one more win and of course they will not waste it, for Le Havre of course in the game they have no hope of winning even though they actually need 3 points to save themselves from the relegation zone,  The chance to stay in Ligue 1 next season seems like just a dream for them because indeed in the rest of the games they also have to meet many strong teams, in my opinion until the season ends there will not be much change in the relegation zone and Le Havre, Lorient and also Clermont Foot seem to be going down to Ligue 2 next season although Le Havre have little hope in the playoffs later.

It is very important for PSG to win the game against Le Havre later, because then they can win the title faster and can focus their attention on the Champions League, now of course facing Dortmund will be the most important match for Enrique, so although the game against Le Havre is an important match but still Enrique will not try to take risks by playing PSG main man in the match later.

Of course this season has been so nice for Lille because they have secured a very good record especially their last match with Monaco because they gave Monaco what they did not expect and from their performance on that match has clearly shown that they are very difficult to be beating on their home matches, although before the match started I was thinking Monaco will win Lille because they are also very strong and has a good record this season because it only entails a consistent club to be in the position they are now.

However this wining has already helped Lille alot because they now have a close point with Brest and also the chance to qualify to the champions League next season if they continue to win their matches, although their next match with metz is very certain they would win the match because metz is not strong enough so perhaps through that match they will be able to bring Brest down from the fourth position they are.

Montpellier vs Nantes two teams came to the field to play today's match in French Soccer League. The players of both teams performed well today for which no team could win today's match. In this match both teams tied 1-1 before half time and after half time neither team was able to win.  No goal scored. Montpellier's A. Adams scored in 2 minutes. Moments later Nantes' M. Abline scored 1 goal in 7 minutes to draw the match.

It's quite certain that PSG will ensure their title for this season in the match against Le Havre because their opponent is just a team that always faces difficulties when competing against PSG, it is recorded that Le Havre has only won twice from their many meetings, moreover this team is in a bad trend because only produced 1 point in the last five matches.
PSG gets odds @ 1.38 and Le Havre @ 8.00, my prediction is that PSG will score more than three goals and celebrate its success in defending its title again, before a few days later preparing to face Dortmund.
Kylian Mbappe will still play in this match but will not play the 90 minutes because Enrique wants to ensure he remains fit for the Champions League.

Their defeat in the previous week could not make them shift their position from Brest, but they were lucky enough because at the same time Brest also suffered a defeat against Monaco. Their competition is now getting tighter after they are only 1 point away, and it will be determined in the remaining matches, who will occupy 3rd place in the final standings.
This can at least be a bit of a treat to see that the competition is still interesting, considering that we don't see competitive competition for the title in Ligue 1. This is something that is normal in Ligue 1, where Paris Saint Germain can always dominate the league better than any other team in existence. . Now they have also been confirmed as champions in Ligue 1 this season.

Ligue 1 Game week 31 : PSG vs Le Havre

Its moment for PSG to secure Ligue 1 tittle in this season on games week 31 against Le Havre, have remaining 11 points from 2nd standings team AS Monaco if can secure three points make PSG will be the winner of Ligue 1 tittle season 2023/24 and three matches left PSG's points can't catch up yet by AS Monaco. Actually Le Havre is not strong teams because try to fight from relegation playoff position standings and PSG only need one or three points to secure their Ligue 1 tittle three time in a row since season 2021/22.
PSG's tactician Luis Henrique seems make many rotation have Champion League match against Dortmund few days later, but its not make PSG get difficult for securing three points and good capital after winning Ligue 1 tittle for facing Dortmund in Champion League match.

Lille lost 1-0 against Monaco after winning three matches in a row. 3 points against Monaco would have kept Lille in third place on the points table. And could have qualified for the Champions League. Lille is now 1 point behind Brest.

Brest have dropped points in their last two matches. The Brest team lost against Monaco and Lyon. And if Brest's players can't improve this performance, then Brest won't be able to keep the third place in the points table. Lille's overall performance compared to Brest is now very good and tidy.

However this wining has already helped Lille alot because they now have a close point with Brest and also the chance to qualify to the champions League next season if they continue to win their matches, although their next match with metz is very certain they would win the match because metz is not strong enough so perhaps through that match they will be able to bring Brest down from the fourth position they are.

I feel like that's not exactly how a "team" works, we are talking about replacing a players contribution and not the player itself exactly. It's basically a situation where if you lose 5 from one position and get 3, then the other 2 will be improved from other positions. So, if your left wing drops a bit, then you get even better striker or better midfielder or a better right wing, and cover that difference from there. That's the thing about the situation we should be considering for the future of PSG.

And to be fair we are talking about a situation where it's quite clear that PSG already got much much better compared to last season, I have said this at the start of the season but their improvement on midfield is insane right now, which we can see even with their UCL situation.

In fact, so far this season Lille has impressive results only when Lille plays at home, but for Lille's away matches so far this season is quite bad . But even so, atleast Lille really tried well also in that away match against Monaco because after all, losing only with a thin score of 1-0 proved that Lille had a big effort in this big match . So yes,I think it's natural that Lille failed to get points in this away match, because Lille really doesn't have a good trend for away matches this season. But even so, there is still a good chance for Lille to be able to finish in third place overtaking Brest.

It's quite certain that PSG will ensure their title for this season in the match against Le Havre because their opponent is just a team that always faces difficulties when competing against PSG, it is recorded that Le Havre has only won twice from their many meetings, moreover this team is in a bad trend because only produced 1 point in the last five matches.

Kylian Mbappe will still play in this match but will not play the 90 minutes because Enrique wants to ensure he remains fit for the Champions League.

Montpelier even with their two men down were still able to make sure they didn't get to concede too many goals that will lead them to loosing points in the game they played today, although the red cards came in late, it was supposed to be enough advantage for Nantes to be able to get a few more die minutes goal to be able to get more points and a chance to step up the table again before the end of the season.

At the 14th position with 32 points is where Nantes currently stand on the table after today's game, and Montpelier is at the  12th position with 37 points which means they are both just five points away of which Nantes would have been three points closer to Montpelier if they had been able win todays game but they actually couldn't in the end, the point they both ended up sharing actually didn't get more effect on them because they were both at far position and didn't even get to go any higher after the game, for me the Ligue 1 game ahs been mostly boring and so it don't get to have much to really say about them.

Except PSG is playing against any teams in the Ligue 1, most times i really actually do find it uninteresting watching them because they will actually end up not been able to properly get to put in the kind of action and entertainment one may actually desire to get watching than play but PSG sometimes try to. Ring in action a s get the viewers entertained a few times away from just playing to win the games.

In fact, so far this season Lille has impressive results only when Lille plays at home, but for Lille's away matches so far this season is quite bad . But even so, atleast Lille really tried well also in that away match against Monaco because after all, losing only with a thin score of 1-0 proved that Lille had a big effort in this big match .

But even so, there is still a good chance for Lille to be able to finish in third place overtaking Brest.

Nantes failed to take advantage of a good opportunity when 2 Montpellier players were shown red cards in the 90++ minute.  what really made a big surprise in this match was that each of the team's goals came in less than the 10th minute.

Nantes' position in the standings is not safe at all, their chances of falling into the relegation zone are very big if they lose against Brest on the next matchday

Tomorrow there will be a match between PSG vs Le Havre and Metz vs Losc, for my bet, i will of course choose PSG and LOSC.
