Len's unbelievable and heroic performance and position in the league this season is something I'm sure no one predicted. They've been the best club in the league this season judging by the standard of footballers in their possession and how they've been able to manage them to get great results.
But I don't think they can overtake Paris Saint Germain and become the league leaders this season. Christophe Galtier has had a bad season to forget as PSG manager but he wouldn't want to lose the league as well and also Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi whose future with the club is still uncertain would also want to leave the club in with at least the league trophy

Lens proved that they are very strong to compete with PSG at the top of the standings and with the win in yesterday's match against Strasbourg made the temporary point tally for Lens to 63 points. Now the distance between PSG and Lens is only 3 points and in the match PSG will face Nice and as we know Nice is strong enough for a team like PSG. If PSG lose again in the match then it's clear that the club will sack coach Galtier in the near future, but I still hope PSG will win and if there is another result then at least a draw is still pretty good even though it's also bad.

As we already know, PSG will host Lens next week. but before that match, we will watch first when PSG visit Allianz Riviera, Nice's headquarters. speaking of Nice, in their 12 matches in Ligue 1, Nice has progressed with quite good results. they were able to progress without defeat even though 5 of them ended in draws. even so, the results were quite impressive for Didier Digard's team.

As for PSG, Galtier's team is currently in an unfavorable phase. in fact, they have had unsatisfactory results post-world cup until recently. PSG, has suffered 8 defeats in all competitions, a result that is quite disappointing for a team as strong and as big as PSG. in the end, the team that is at the bottom of their ranking is able to reduce the difference in points from them. yes, Lens was able to reduce the distance of points from PSG. and, if PSG again plays badly like the previous 2 matches. then Lens or Marseille has the potential to reduce the difference in points from the top of the standings.

So, the match against Nice is an important match for PSG to keep widening the points gap from its competitors. however, referring to the predicted arrays and formations that Galtier would apply. apparently, Galtier will use the same pattern with a 3-5-2 formation. very confusing for me personally, I don't understand what Galtier wants to implement. however, let's just see what PSG showed in the match against Nice. This fight should have been a win for them. but we'll see, whether Nice will provide a fierce resistance. this is interesting, considering that PSG is in a disadvantageous situation.

When talking about the PSG team, I feel hesitant. That's why there will be room to talk about the team in a place like the Champions League. Then despite being such a weak team in League One, PSG team is not very much ahead in the points table.

There is currently three points gap between PSG and Lens while PSG had one less game than Lens and the gap can be increased to six points while PSH is going to play with a game against Nice and unlike PSG, Nice had a good performance recently and during the last five games they had, they never lost a game which can be dangerous for PSG to face them.

I hear you, and I agree that Lens has a chance to challenge PSG for the championship. But trust me when I say this: PSG is not a pushover. Even though they've been struggling as of late, they still have a strong roster and plenty of experience in pressure circumstances. We also shouldn't act like Lens is a lock to win every game. Football is so wild and chaotic that anything can happen in a game. While it's exciting to have high hopes for this season of Lens, we should all keep in mind that there are a lot of variables at play.

At least PSG have yet lost either the first position or the title to Lens. They have good control in Ligue 1 competition as they have one less match than Lens. So if PSG win it, the gap will become 6 points which is safely enough for such a dominating club in Ligue 1 like PSG. With this vision, PSG will have two competitors, Lens and Marseille with same 6 point difference against both clubs.

As analyzed, PSG will make things more easily if they resume the gap to 6 points. With only 8 matches left, 6 point difference is kind of very safe advantage for PSG. It's just whether will they be able to resume it to 6 points?

PSG are out of the Champions League. Now their only aim was to secure the Ligue 1 title. But the team was badly defeated in the last two matches. And in both these matches I lost my bet money. PSG's attacking performance was very disappointing. Focusing only on Ligue 1 they are performing poorly. The coach has completely failed to stabilize the team. And PSG's points gap with Lens is now just 3 due to dropping points in two matches.
If the Lens team is able to continue their performance, the title fight will become more difficult for PSG this season. The way PSG are performing now, they won't be able to win the Ligue 1 title if they play like this. Their performance should be more organized and regular.

Even though today PSG will play at home to Nice, PSG will try to win this match even though it is not an easy way. Because PSG are very aware of their performance so far and if in today's match PSG can be beaten again by Nice, the top position occupied by PSG will be targeted by Lens and Marseille for the rest of this season. So PSG must really realize this if they still want to sit at the top of the standings until the end of the season.

Lens' 2-1 win over Strasbourg made the point difference between them and PSG only 3 points adrift. PSG will face NICE later, if they lose again then PSG's performance this season is the worst, Galtier must think of a precise strategy to boost the performance of the PSG squad again.

if PSG is always dropping points and the player's performance is dropping, I think this is Lens' opportunity to take PSG's position because only 3 points difference is easy enough to get 3 points for Lens. but you need to remember if that happens, because PSG certainly don't want their position to be taken over by Lens and PSG coach Christophe Galtier will definitely be more aggressive in providing strict training for his players so that they are better in the next match so they don't get shifted by Lens.
and I think it looks like PSG will have to change the formation of their players to improve their attacks on goal which are more effective than the current one too bad for me.

Lens managed to win and we can talk about a difference of only 3 points between them and PSG.  PSG's away game against Nice has gained more importance.  I don't think they will come as a surprise against Nice, but if they are defeated, the league leadership could be in jeopardy.  This can cost them dearly.  Lens is one of its most serious competitors right now.

Their next match in Lille is very likely. Because Lille has secured victory in most of the matches held together with the opposition. And currently Lille is ahead in terms of performance. But Angers will want the match to be at least a draw.

Damn guys who would have thought that we get to see this situation in the table standings at this point in time during the season? Lens won their game and are now three points behind PSG, which I never ever expected and I kept saying that there is no way PSG will ever get to feel pressure during this season. But now they are going to meet Nice, and they haven't been beaten for 12 games in a row. Yes they had many draws, but still they haven't been beaten since January 2nd and it is also a home game for them.

I think we will see a relatively nervous PSG even though the question is whether they really care about the stuff that is going on in Ligue 1. Do they take it seriously? Or even lightly? I think it would almost be scandalous if they really fuck up and allow for another team to get the equalizer in points in the coming weeks. The showdown will be next week against Lens, but it is a home game for PSG. Although that does not seem to mean too much recently.

The odds for Lille win current was @1.40 and this is low odds indeed but nothing we can do because today they will met Angers the weakest team in Ligue 1 and this should be easy match for Lille especially Angers is the team with poor of defense that so far until week 29 Angers has been conceded 64 goals and i think it shouldn't be a big deal for Lille forward player Jonathan David to break the defense of Angers and scores goals

Lille have to utilized this match to earn 3 points because their position isn't fully safe especially with 2 difference points above to Rennes and if Lille want to finish at euroepan zone i think Lille shouldn't be slipped today and for the bets option Lille win so far is the best picked for this match

PSG may not be champions despite having an excellent squad. With today's win Lens reduced their points difference to 3 and they deserve to be champions. Even I didn't expect this much and I don't think they expected to be so close to the title at the start of the league. It's a great achievement for them to get this far. Actually, I also want Lens to be champions but it's a bit of luck. Time will tell us whether it can happen or not. PSG need to lose points in 2 more games.

It's PSG that has been declining so hard, I hope that the internal problem of PSG will never be fixed and it will always be facing more and more losses. Im so glad to see that marseille or lens will able to take a trophy for this season. The thing that is really needed to surpass PSG is consistently. Lens has it. Lens just needs to be carefully maintaining its players to make sure that all of the players will always stay healthy during the end of the season. The end of the season became the most critical time for any team to use all of their best performance to get into a good position. If you are aware from the early season lens is one of the strongest candidates to win the trophy for this season.

PSG fans are hating messi right now and this makes messi didn't wanna stay even longer in PSG. The main reason is not about how legend messi is but how he has become failed transfer by PSG.
La pulga was going to the PSG caused by barcelona has no money to pay him anymore.  

It is that PSG has no choice, it would be the last straw if they lost Ligue 1 because PSG really hasn't looked very good, plus the rumors that Messi is leaving, that Ney is leaving too and that now that Mbappé wants to go to Real Madrid, Well, it's something that shouldn't be for the same reason, so if PSG doesn't catch up for now, at least to win Ligue 1, it will be a bad process for the Sheikh, that Everything is being shown that not all the money in the World buy things, besides, the world Knows this and well, it doesn't look very good.


In that you are absolutely right, sometimes in fútbol we cannot understand Certain results of the teams that we most expect, I don't know, it's like something very strange, it seems very similar to what happens in the Spanish League with Real Madrid can't beat Barcelona, you know Things work here at a different pace, I don't know how they manage to be with these games and continue in such a tough league and when they are aware that they shouldn't even lose or draw, they only have to win, I think that LIGUE 1 is won by PSG, any team that tries to get closer to it, I don't know what's going on, but they're doing badly.

Lens players are working hard to make their team famous and successful among French people but also Europeans since they will get most likely a place in Europa League and they are competing against Marseille for the second place which allows entry to Champions League next season.

Lens are still continuing in a very determined way in this season. They got another win and made the gap with PSG only three points as well. PSG haven't played their game yet though but I don't trust them completely either. This time they are playing an away game against Nice. After seeing how many times PSG lost to the other big teams in this league it is really hard to predict them.

Lens are indeed one of the surprising teams this season and they are still able to stay in a title rivalry. I would like to see them in the Champions League after all that effort.
