It is obvious that the new signings of Monaco with the competent management of Adi Hütter have transformed the team. Now they are a team to beat both in the French Lig 1 and even the European champions league. They have won six matches and drawn one in their league matches which placed them at the top position in the table. On the European champions league, they won Barcelona, a match that surprised many people, and came from a two zero lead by Dinamo Zagreb   to secure and two all draw. This is a great result and performance by Monaco and they are just on their way to winning a good title this season.

I admit that Reims has a very stable performance this season but I will not be too quick to say that their performance is strong because this is just the beginning of the season and teams like Reims can always start the season well but become bad at the end of the season. The 3-1 result was very much deserved by Reims because Montpellier is just the worst team at the moment. And the fact that Reims still conceded 1 goal indicates that Reims has a slightly weak defense. From these few matches there may be 3 defeats but only 1 bet that disappointed me when I saw PSG slightly bad performance unlike usual and only managed to end in a draw. While my hope is that at least PSG can get 3 goals in the match against Nice.

I thought PSG team will be able to win the match. But the PSG team failed to win the match till the end. The match was drawn 1-1. PSG lost top spot in the table. PSG team is now 2 points behind Monaco. PSG will definitely need to continue their winning streak if they want to stay at the top of the table.

PSG team won 5 matches out of 7 matches, and drew 2 matches. On the other hand, Monaco have won 6 out of 7 matches. Monaco is in great form this season. Monaco are competing for the Ligue 1 title this season. Monaco's defense in particular is very strong. Monaco conceded only 4 goals in 7 matches. Because of the strong defense, Monaco managed to occupy the top spot in the table.

The Nice team was not a strong opponent. PSG lost points in this match due to PSG's attacking weakness. The attacking players missed several easy chances in this match. Kolo Muani and Barcola did not play well in this match. If these two players performed well, PSG would have earned full points in the match.

It is very unfortunate when our bets have to be thwarted by a match that was actually dominated by the team we bet on. Paris Saint Germain had to fail to win when visiting Nice's headquarters, I thought that they would be able to win this match, but it turned out they could only draw. They dominated the game, but they could not be more effective in attacking so that made them have to be satisfied with this draw. They even fell behind first in the first half, luckily they were able to score an equalizer early in the second half. But I also appreciate what Nice was able to do in this match, because even though they were attacked continuously, they were able to focus on defending.

Is there anyone here who is the same as me who bet on PSG to win against Nice? yes I thought PSG would win even though they were playing away but it turned out that PSG only drew 1:1 after being defeated by Arsenal it turned out that it disturbed the PSG players' mentality when competing in the domestic league and they have not played optimally only able to score 1 goal after Nice scored their first lead in the first half and PSG replied in the second half after the 52nd minute even though PSG controlled the match more and made many shots but they had difficulty breaking through Nice's goal unlike before where PSG always scored at least more than 2 goals.

PSG had a hard time recovering after losing to Arsenal, and they were less stable so that the failure was repeated with 3 points and in the end Monaco managed to eliminate them in the current standings, if you look at Nice they are quite depressed by playing at home 5 matches 4 draws and 1 win but in reality the draw continued against the big team PSG, the difficulty could not be tolerated by controlling the match fully but in reality the 1-1 draw ended and brought PSG to continue to appear.

In my opinion, in this match there are many things that Enrique must pay attention to in his fragile strategy, he must think of another way so that everything runs optimally, in my opinion PSG's attack line is not good after the departure of the star Mbappe, Kolo Muani is not strategic enough so he can't do much and in my opinion PSG must find a good figure to fill their attack line.

It will be a boring season regardless. PSG is overwhelmingly stronger than any other team in Ligue 1 and I don't know how many games they would have to mess up in order to not win the title eventually. It is probably harder for them to not win it than it is to win it. It is too one-sided and this is why I think that PSG will run into problems in the Champions League again. The gap is too big and when they play most of these easy games, the switch to suddenly play teams like Arsenal is too big.

Sharing points equally became the fate of PSG as they drew the game against Nice, a 1-1 draw wasn't the kind of result expected of PSG but then it turned out that was the final result. in this game, PSG had more of the possession and the dominance of the game shifted towards them a little but they were challenge with been able to beat the defense of Nice to get more goals to help them win the game.  the dominance of PSG in that game was just too much to have them settling for a draw, they even had more chances to get an extra goal but couldn't convert the chances into the needed goal.

It's full time at the Allianz Riviera as Paris Saint Germaine came from behind to get a point from their away league game at Nice. Before the commencement of the game, I had predicted that the home team was going to lose the game to the reigning champions but little did I know they were going to deliver such resisting performance against PSG.
The game was dominated by Paris Saint Germaine if you ask me and Luis Enrique's men created more scoring opportunities however, they weren't able to stop the home team from getting a point. Interesting game it was if you ask me even when I wanted a different result.

You are right, the Champions League and domestic competition are very different. Ligue 1 is certainly easier for PSG to handle because they really know the character of each opponent, but not the other teams in the Champions League. PSG's defeat to Arsenal was not surprising, from the start Arsenal had been considered favorites to secure a home win against PSG.

Today Nice defended well and managed to force PSG to a 1-1 draw. PSG tried many ways to penetrate Nice's defense, but they couldn't score more than 1 goal despite managing 9 shots on target. PSG gave Monaco the opportunity to be at the top of the standings with a gap of 2 points, but I am sure PSG will take it back in the next few matches.

The match has started, and they are already in the second half. The score is 1-1, which is not what I was expecting. By this time in the match, I expected PSG to be leading by at least two goals, but they are not finding the match that easy. Based on the current statistics, it shows that PSG is the favorite to win the ongoing match. They are the team controlling the pitch, and they have created several chances. In fact, PSG has had about five shots on target, but only one was converted into a goal. However, let’s see what will happen at the end of the match. Nice is also serious and putting in efforts to not lose this home game.

In the Champions League match between Arsenal and PSG, PSG lost the match, but they really played well. I was impressed with their performance despite not winning. Even before the match, I wasn't expecting them to beat Arsenal because Arsenal is in good form. Additionally, the match was played at Emirates Stadium, and I knew Arsenal would not allow PSG to beat them.

Basically PSG also has a good performance in Ligue 1 but yes, I will only be able to admit that PSG is still weak to play in the Champions League. Because afterall, PSG's first match in the Champions League was played at home and only played against Girona,  but in reality PSG still had difficulty defeating Girona. Although the result was PSG won 1-0 but, the goal was also only created in the 90th minute and that was also through an own goal, so I think it still be a reasonable result about PSG lost by Arsenal.

So yes, just admit that PSG is indeed weak in the Champions League even though PSG still managed to dominate Ligue 1 and about the away match against Nice this time, I also still sure PSG will win. But in reality, Nice took the lead first in the first half with a score of 1-0,and in the second half in the 52nd  minute PSG managed to score a goal, and made the current  match still a draw 1-1.

Nice is likely to give us a fantastic performance tonight. They are suffering a lot of pressure from PSG, but they still manage to score one goal because they are also creating chances on counterattack even as PSG dominated the game.

PSG deserves to win this match because of the disappointing defeat to Arsenal at Emirate Stadium and to also maintain their first position in the League One table because if they failed to win this game, Monaco has already taken over their position. They need to put more effort into winning this game so that they can go back to the top of the league.

There is still hope for PSG because statistically, they won four out of their last five matches against Nice, while Nice won just one; this shows that PSG have a good winning record against Nice, and they can still do it.

There are cases where defeat affect the performance of a team we have seen it happen in several occasions but in the case of the defeat that PSG suffered against Arsenal in the champions League, the team should not be demoralized because they have witnessed the champions league competition several times and the team is used to winning and losing in the league so right now, they have to look beyond the champions and focus on winning their game in the domestic league.

Nice is ahead in the first half but the performance of PSG is not bad in the team I see them coming back in the second half but winning the game is something I'm not expecting them to do tonight because Nice is doing a good job on the defense.

I have said before, what we are looking at is their long-term performance and not just a few games. Previously Marseille played so well, they were the second most productive team after Paris Saint-Germain. It can be said that Marseille are not too bad in their defense. They only conceded 8 goals, 3 of the goals Marseille conceded were created in two games when their players received red cards. Marseille should not have lost points to Angers, but their pure striker got a red card. As a result, they lost a player who was the Target Man. Greenwood who was productive in the first 3 games, in the next 4 games he no longer scored a goal. Although, his performance can still be said to be quite good. As you said, Marseille should have been able to create better consistency. But it turns out, they have to work harder to be able to produce full points in each game. So, De Zerbi has a job to evaluate and fix his team. even so, Marseille is still in 3rd place in Lique 1. this competition is still long, De Zerbi can fix his team to be much better. at least, as I often say finishing in the top four of Lique 1 is much better than those who were previously slumped. moreover, if Marseille is able to become runner up. the journey is still long, let's say Marseille can compete with Monaco. on condition, they must be consistent.

Nice vs PSG

Nice (confirmed lineup): Marcin Bulka, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Moise Bombito, Dante, Jonathan Clauss, Ali Abdi, Hicham Boudaoui, Tanguy Ndombele, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Jeremie Boga, Evann Guessand.

PSG (confirmed lineup): Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves, Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola.

PSG have set to go against nice after losing their last match against Arsenal, they are playing away game against nice but currently nice performance looks so bad to the extent that they only won a match in their last five game, draw two and lost two while psg only suffered defeat against arsenal but let be realistic Arsenal are in a better form to beat PSG so I don't  think PSG own me any explanation because they faced their superior.

Reims did good indeed but it is only the beginning and they should keep up the good work if they want to stay in top. Lille and other used to be top teams are behind them and they can jump at any moment in front of them.
In this round I was quite shocked by Marseille and how they failed against the weakest team in Ligue 1, a draw against Angers? Very promising..

The match between PSG and Nice will start in less than two hours and the match will be the closing match of the this week before we enter the international break, both teams got bad results in European competitions last week, PSG lost to Arsenal as well as Nice who were destroyed by Lazio in the European league, so indeed the condition and mentality of the two teams is not much different at the moment,  but even so PSG will still be the favorite in the match considering their dominance so far in Ligue 1, I think without dembele in the squad, PSG is still a strong team in Ligue 1 because there is a big comparison of team quality that is currently happening between PSG and other teams in Ligue 1, I personally will never underestimate PSG when they play in Ligue 1 because indeed the ratio of their chances of winning is clear very large all this time,But if they play in the Champions League, prescily that's what I doubt if they can win even against a team smaller than them .

There is no reason for them to think about the defeat in the Champions League so that they have to get a negative result in the domestic league match, if that happens then I can conclude that their mentality is really bad. Nice is not a very strong club, from any point of view they are a better club than Nice, so they should be able to win this match. Indeed they will focus more on the Champions League than Ligue 1, but they should not regret what happened in the Champions League. They also have a very experienced coach, so the coach must be able to restore their confidence quickly, that is one of the tasks of a coach.

Losing to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League last week I don't think is going to have a big effect on Paris Saint Germaine players as they travel to face Nice later this evening. Paris Saint Germaine have been the dominant team in the French Ligue 1 this season and even when we know they'll be playing away this evening, I'm very optimistic that they'll still take all three points from Nice. Paris Saint Germaine forward Ousmane Dembele seems to have found his form again and I think he's the man to look out for at Nice this evening
