Brest vs PSG

This will be an interesting match considering that PSG have been eliminated from the champions league and now they will focus on the remaining Ligue 1 matches to secure the title this season. Brest as the host doesn't seem to have a chance to win this match, even in head to head PSG are always superior either at home or away. Mbappe and Messi as usual will be the key to victory for PSG and this will be an additional 3 points for PSG in the standings.

Possibility with Ligue 1 losing Lionel Messi for next season after having new rumor he will move to Saudi Arabia Pro League, beside with PSG dominance in Ligue 1, I think the interested from Ligue 1 because having Lionel Messi. Still not reach new extended contract with PSG seems many possibility for Lionel Messi keep stay with PSG or leave this team, actually he still disappointed after PSG eliminating from UEFA Champion League.

PSG need to give fantastic offering how to make Lionel Messi keep extended new contract for two or three years, better not give short or one season contract if won't loss Lionel Messi this season.

They did not have winning habit in Champions League and they don't have strong mentality there. They have it in Ligue 1 but in Champions League, they have the opposite. From strongly confident in Ligue 1 to extremely fearful and vulnerable in Champions League, PSG have two opposite sides. Even their star players in attacking system don't play well in Champions League. Sometimes they shined brightly but mostly they didn't.

Their defense system is one of their most weakest points and Ramos is the only one defender in their system has good career and proved his defense ability. However he joined PSG when he was too old and his body was no longer good as a few years ago. He spent first one year in recovery from some injuries and in this season, he played more for PSG and in the match with Bayern Munich, he brought some hope for PSG with two head shots.

Other defenders have experience but they don't have too good quality and mentality is weak. Marquinhos is their main central defender and their captain but he made some mistakes in important matches and he was unable to unite team mates to bounce when the squad needs a leader to do that. Kimpembe is even worse than Marquinhos and Hakimi does not focus on defense.

PSG should win. I hope they are going to win. Because you know, they have just got knocked out of the Champions League. And I believe that the Champions League was the main target of PSG. So, I believe now they are going to put all their resources into trying to win the Ligue 1 title. I think they will be able to win. As they do every season.


Rennes should also be able to win the match against Auxerre. After all, Rennes is going up against the team which is in the relegation zone. This is going to be a default win for Rennes.

Auxerre vs Rennes should be a game that cannot end with a draw right ? both teams are looking for 3 points today , as Auxerre to avoid relegation and lately they are doing a great job by accumulating points and then we have , Rennes who wants to keep that last place that leads to Conference league for next year so overall , I'm expecting goals today.

Yes, it seems that in this match the home team is in high motivation after Auxerre has played four matches without defeat. in this match, Auxerre will try to keep performing optimally and get full points to secure their ranking from the relegation zone. but it seems, not an easy matter to subvert Rennes. because, in the first meeting, Auxerre fell with a landslide score. but what is certain, the home team will provide fierce resistance to their opponents because after all they need a win to avoid the relegation zone.

On the other hand, Rennes will try to return to winning ways which were previously beaten by Marseille with a score of 0-1. unfortunately, some of their core players must be absent in this match. So, it looks like this fight will be quite tough. most likely, there won't be many goals in this fight.
My estimate is that the match will end in a draw. but it seems, the ideal option to bet on under 2.5 goals.

They have three best players in the world and they have a stable financial system to guarantee players about their salaries in the future which can be a reason for them to play with better conditions than other teams so I guess the fans expected to see more from PSG it's not coming odd, in the other hand, the players were bought for the champions league title if you ask me.

Lille hosted Lyon in the most important match of the week yesterday.Lille, who led 2-0, could not protect this lead and ended in a 3-3 draw. Jonathan David and Lacazette's goal duel did not produce a winner. We can call it an important loss of 2 points for Lille. 3-3 draw in a match in which they were 2-0 up at home means that the point difference between them and the teams in the race is widening. Instead of winning this match and becoming 5th, they remained in 6th place. Today, both Rennes and PSG go to important away games and both teams will tire their opponents until the last minute for points.

Despite the fact that PSG has the best footballers in the world, many people are mocking PSG after seeing this bad state of the team. A poor performance in the Champions League has really dragged the team down.

Given their star-studded roster of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, the footballing world is buzzing over PSG's recent disappointing performance in the Champions League. Success in this "beautiful game" is not, however, based solely on an individual's skill. To improve as a team, PSG has to strengthen their weak links. PSG needs to recognise the importance of team chemistry and coordination if they want to create a lasting impact in the tournament. Fans of Paris Saint-Germain shouldn't despair, though; the club will likely bounce back even stronger the next season thanks to a more strategic and unified squad.

Absolutely right. Football is a game that needs to create a great relationship from the defense line app to the offensive line so that any team will be able to perform well. But this thing is sorely lacking in the PSG team. As a result, the team is currently unbalanced.

There's nothing really surprising about PSG's failure in the Champions League, I think they have a lot of holes to be patched in some central positions. You can say PSG have Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, but there is no player of comparable quality to replace any of them when injured. While PSG are lacking in midfield, their midfielders are not strong enough and their quality is not really up to par with their 3 forwards.

PSG's defense has Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe, but both of them are injured so who really deserves to take his place. So this means that PSG lost because of their own weaknesses, not because Mbappe and Messi failed to help the team. Football is a team game, so if a team is not balanced it is difficult for them to win the match.

Auxerre vs Rennes

In the first meeting Rennes can win with big scores from Auxerre 5-0 but for this match i don't think this result can be used again as the reference to predict the result of this match because recently Auxerre has successfully to improved their performance that so far they got 2 wins from 3 latest matches and surprisingly their winning is from tough teams such as Lorient and Lyon

For squad update Rennes conditions doesn't really good because currently they will lost at least 7 players because of injured and suspension but for Auxerre Nuno Da Costa still unable to play but Siriki Dembélé can be played on his position and Hamza Sakhi also had a problem with their fitness but it doesn't matter because he is only substitutions player and i was tempting for Auxerre recent performance which is more better than Rennes and picked for Auxerre win probably the best option for this match and Auxerre win has odds @3.90

 To me this PSG side are domestic champions, they can't go outside Ligue 1 league and get a better result like earning a trophy, one of the greatest if I should say is the UCL but all they do is getting close and coming back with nothing, how disappointing because they're suppose to be UCL contenders or even the favorite but everybody knows how it will end up for them. Having them taking a bow is worrisome, well what can we say?
 Since they're out of the UCL is time to concentrate more on the trophy they are known for, what a shame. Now is time to trash any team that comes there way starting with 14th place Brest, everyone knows how it will end. IMO, it will be a night for the league leaders to extend there lead on the log.

You should not be surprised to see that if PSG will never win UCL. PSG didn't have good mentality. League 1 can also be considered a farmer league as there are no strong teams in the league. I do agree with you if mbappe must have moved to the a new team.
If mbappe was accepting the offer from real madrid in the past and mbappe has won some titles right now. The problem is mbappe was not even wanna leaving from the safe zone to take huge challenge in another league.
PSG will always stuck at the same place caused by there's no strict competition that would be building the mentality of the players. Winning UCL was the most difficult task that can be done by any team in EU.
I see no reason for PSG to win UCL if it keeps perform the same thing over and over again.

It is very, very surprising indeed for PSG this season and again PSG did not succeed in the Champions League even though they already have expensive and talented players like Messi and Mbappe. The Ligue1 trophy is very common for PSG and also for Messi and Mbappe so it is also true that Mbappe wants to move to another league one day to improve his career for the better because for now Mbappe is still under contract with PSG so Mbappe can't do anything what other than staying at PSG.

Lacazette became a hero for Lyon in this match. Behind 2 goals did not make them give up by reducing the behind and when Jonathan David's hat trick in the 79th minute I felt it was over but in the last 10 minutes Lacazzete really became a nightmare for Lille with his Brace.
It was quite an exciting match towards the end and it is deserved indeed with 1 point for both teams.

Lacazette was really a game changer for Lyon in this game against Lille today. Because Lille were actually close to winning this game by 3-1. But Lacazette's entering the game changed everything for Lyon suddenly.

They started to be even more effective about finishing and he scored two goals to save this team one point at least. There was like a goal duel between David and Lacazette in this game actually. David won that by making a hat-trick maybe but they both were amazing today. I was never expecting a score like this at the end by the way because the first half ended 0-0. Both teams fought hard in the second half.

That's very sad, Neymar has always had that little inconvenience, Ney with all the nutrition and good treatments should strengthen the ankle, since that injury is very painful, in fact that is usually my weakness, but with gym work and the weight proper in the exercises you get stronger, it takes a lot of time.

In gym training you have to be very careful, there are therapists who fix your ankle with two movements and it's ready in a week. Ney must have the best therapists and I am sure that if he can play against Bayern, this could be one of the best moments of his career, he must be there.


What happens is that the French League Title is one thing, but the UCL is the "other thing" that they have not been able to achieve, and as I see it, they have it increasingly difficult and of course it is a disappointment ,it is you know that right now they have the league taken over by PSG, but hey,the French League can give you the category and privileges that they have in a local league, we could classify it that way, because I know it is like that,but the UCL only has the strongest teams and The best in the world are the ones who participate , and it is known that the one who wins is because they are the best of all the clubs,that already looks different than winning a League.

Lille - Lyon has now become a goal-rich duel. We currently have the 3-3 score, but most likely also the final score as we are deep in injury time. Of course, Marseille has the best papers to finish 2nd, but there are still quite a few games to play this season. Lyon has a disappointing season with a current 8th place and the difference with the number 2 Marseilla, for example, is already 15 points. It will be a difficult story for this team to qualify for the CL. The Europa League would be a miracle if they manage to achieve that, but I don't know about the Coefficients list, I think France is pretty good on that list. I don't know why that is, because PSG actually performs reasonably well every year and not even very well.
