I even thought they would score more than 2 goals, but they were only able to score 2 goals through Hugo Ekitike and Lionel Messi. This was a victory which was not surprising at all as they were indeed big favorites in this clash. Lionel Messi is playing well and continues to show consistency with Paris Saint Germain. Even though at the beginning of his arrival he couldn't adapt quickly, but slowly he found his best game again.

mbappe did not participate in this match, maybe if he does we will see PSG score more than 2 goals there. Another very interesting match was Nice vs Montpellier, in that match NICE managed to win with a score of 6-1, there were 2 NICE players who scored 2 goals each, it was Pepe and Barkley. slowly but surely, NICE is starting to rise again.

Yeah but i think that there would be no lots of different even when mpabbe was playing. Just caused by a player and it doesn't mean it can change the result drastically. NICE has been fully dominating the match against montpellier. Nice was able to stay at the 10th position now.
As far as i can see that if nice still did so well from the last matches. You can see that if nice was only losing once from five matches. That proves that if nice has better performance compared with montpellier.
I don't know why neymar was always making something that didn't needed just like getting yellow card against angers.

I think Marseille are more likely than Lens to finish the season at the second position in the standings. The point gap is quite close now and I won't be surprised if Marseille get ahead of them in the near future. Marseille have a much better squad before anything else. They are able to show this by their performance these days as well. They are still on a nice winning streak.

Lens still beat them by 1-0 away before though but I think the scenario could be different when they play against each other again. Marseille have a really good team effort now and the Troyes game was one of the good examples for it.

Currently, Marseille can focus more on Ligue 1 competence after being eliminated from the Champions League. Marseille had experienced difficult weeks, after playing matches with a busy schedule. Plus, some of the players are exhausted, also, some are injured. in the second half of this season, Marseille progressed with three wins which left Igor Tudor's army only two points apart from 2nd place in the standings, Lens. therefore, Marseille has the potential to return to second place in the Ligue 1 standings, especially if Lens slips in the following matches.
IMO, Marseille has better depth than Lens, and Igor Tudor's squad should be able to boost their players to perform with stable performance.

On the other hand, Lens also have matches that should be easy for them in the next few weeks. it's just that, I quite doubt they will still appear with a very stable performance. at its peak, Lens has a game against Marseille, also has matches against other tough teams like visiting PSG headquarters. for sure, Lens will find it difficult to maintain their ranking on the Ligue 1 standings.

Beautiful game from PSG as they beat Angers at home with a score of 2-0. Lionel Messi's return to the starting line-up made PSG's game come alive and raised the morale of his team-mates. Even Messi also scored 1 goal in this match, with this victory PSG managed to widen the distance back from Lens with a difference of 6 points. Meanwhile, in the other match, Lens was held to a draw by Strasbourg with a score of 2-2, the prediction that I have made long ago is true that Lens always has difficulties when dealing with Strasbourg.

Having won the FIFA World Cup, Leo Messi scores his first goal for PSG since returning to the club. A couple of outstanding saves by the Angers goalkeeper kept the score down for PSG, who won 2-0. So far this week, we have three wins and a draw. PSG has widened their distance back from Lens after losing 3-1 to Lens, a difference of 6 points they should maintain.

PSG always bounce back from their previous matches and that's what keeps them solid at the top of the standings. But if you look at PSG's next schedule, they will face Rennes, which is one of the top 4 teams in the standings, this is likely a quite difficult match for PSG because they have to continue to widen the gap from Lens and Rennes don't seem to want to lose either because they also want to continue to widen the gap from Monaco. Rennes vs PSG both have their own targets, this will be an exciting match.

Marseille is more likely to be in second place in the Ligue 1 standings than Lens, and that makes a lot of sense considering their consistency in being in the top 5 over the past 5 seasons. Apart from that, Ligue 1 also still has a lot of matches.

OFC, we can't use their last meeting as a reference, take a closer to look at their H2H, you'll find an interesting fact that the majority of their meetings at the Estadio Bollaert-Delelis, Lens almost always lose.

I don't think so. Lens got some draws but lens is pretty strong compared with marseille at this moment. Both can try to surpass each other anytime. Lens may able to come back again. Merseille was so good.
It's hard to predict which team from both that will be finishing at the second place. I do believe if lens will able to prevent marseille to take the second place.

Marseille does so well but im still feeling skeptical about that. I meant we must also take a look at head to head from both of team. Lens has been dominating the head to head between both.
marseille needs to be lucky enough to win against lens.

But still another win for PSG and i think they just want to focus on the champions league.

PSG are used to the Ligue 1 trophy
This is a momentum that should not be wasted considering that this season Paris Saint-Germain has strong potential to be able to experience the Champions League trophy.
Paris Saint-Germain's journey in the Champions League will not be easy because at the start of the round of 16 they have to meet rivalry Bayern Munich. I look forward to the outcome of the meet

Regardless of Messi or anyone, when a match is played by two teams that are not as strong as PSG vs Angers. It didn't feel like the match was that exciting to watch even though it took place at home to PSG with the clear favorites to win. So I'm also not surprised by this easy win for PSG at home.

Maybe it's because PSG knows that Angers is a very weak team so there doesn't need to be a lot of star players participating there because PSG believes they will win even if not with many goals, so other players like Mbappe can save their energy for other matches this season or when PSG met a tougher opponent than Angers.

RC Strasbourg Alsace 2 - 2 RC Lens

I confess that this is a result that left me very surprised, I expected that Lens would be able to win this game without having too many difficulties, but RC Strasbourg, who came into this game with very bad results, which was even a sequence of defeats, managed to surprise me by managed to score 2 goals and draw in this game, I lost my money in this game too. it was really bad luck that I had this round

I think not only you but many other gamblers also lost money on Strasbourg vs Lens. This was certainly surprising because Lens was clearly the most favored team in the match. But I think your loss for this match is nothing new in football match even though we firmly believe that the favorite team will win. It's hard to say no to Lens in that game even if the odds are low compared to a draw. But I'm sure Lens will be better in the upcoming matches.

That's right, because in terms of performance, they do have a layout that is quite far away, but it was surprising when Strasbourg was able to balance Lens' game so well.
This could be a good thing for Strasbourg actually if they continue to be able to play like this because at least by playing like they did against Lens they will be able to get out of relegation I'm sure of that, but the problem is sometimes things like this are difficult for them to do in every game.

So far this week, we have three wins and a draw. PSG has widened their distance back from Lens after losing 3-1 to Lens, a difference of 6 points they should maintain.

Angers is a team that doesn't fight back, but they only survive not to concede many goals by Messi cs. Messi scored 1 goal and contributed to Ekitiki's goal in the 5th minute of the match. Messi was brilliant for his first game after the World Cup, he was very entertaining and his form is really good.

Lens also couldn't do much in his last match against team that won only 1 match out of 18 matches. Strasbourg managed to hold Lens to a 2-2 draw at that time and thus PSG managed to widen the point gap to the current 6 from Lens. I don't think there's really been an incredible amount of pressure on PSG after their first defeat of the season against Lens, which was obvious against Angers.

There were good expectations from PSG and their attack for having the good number of goals but right now they are not playing with their full approach because they are trying to have balance in their game and players also need to be fit for the next games which are going to be tough Angers is having no win from their last 10 games, and they are having the worst defense but still we have only two goals from them PSG with Messi is also now in action after having tag of GOAT with win of the world cup 2022 in Qatar.

Lens held against Strasbourg which is currently above the Angers and having first point after break but with the current form and quality of Strasbourg most chances they could be relegated because they have no enough quality and performance in first half of the season.

PSG just played like they are all old guys and dont want to waste their strength. They won 2-0 easily but if they went with full power and attacked the entire game it could have been 7-0 or more. If Angers scored from one of those good chances i think that PSG wouldnt win that game easily. But still another win for PSG and i think they just want to focus on the champions league.

It's good enough now for Marseille especially with this they are now starting to get back to good form and haven't lost again during their last few matches in Ligue1.
Marseille's dominance was visible from the start of the kick off and they really did a good job in this match because of 2 goals in the first half and early in the second half and with their possession it was very difficult for Troyes to change this result.

Marseille didn't fail in their last matches which is a good thing. Their last match was vs Troyes which isn't that top but their next game will be more challenging vs Lorient Wink

This round was bad for Lille, Lyon, Rennes and Lens. Monaco and Lorient got a draw which is a fair enough result for both but not good in terms of table points gap.
Overall only PSG and Marseille got 3 points between the top 8 teams

Mbappe is a player that can change so much, he is the type of player that could end up winning it at all wherever he is and that's an important thing. The best thing about the situation we are in right now is the fact that Mbappe is still there at PSG for a long time and even if he misses a few games that doesn't mean that they are going to be bad on the long term, they are going to be great as long as he is there. They could sell Neymar or Messi and would still be great because of two things.

First of all they have Mbappe, that is good enough, secondly they have money which means they can replace anyone else by spending a lot of money to get a close level new player.

After beating PSG at home mostly peoples were feeling now Lens is at his best, and they can defeat Strasbourg easily because they are in relegation zone and their performance is also not good with only one win and nine draws, but things turn not in favour of them, and we have four goals in first half, but after this Strasbourg play balance game and mostly match in second half were played in middle which not allowed Lens to have any good winning chance which was surely frustrating because they need to win this match and widen their gape against Marseille but now it's just two points and PSG is surely going to have good lead at the top because they are improved after joining of Messi and Neymar and now have next match against Rennes which is also not easy.

Lens are only 2 points above Marseille, and any mistake from Lens would give Marseille the opportunity to climb to second and pull Lens down to third, i was disappointed that Lens drew with Strasbourg, i wanted them to continue winning so they can stay very close with psg at the top of the table, but now they have fallen 6 points behind psg and it is very difficult for them to get close to psg or even climb above them, sadly it is looking like we are going to have the same winner for the Ligue 1 this season, and that's psg.

After the break things looking tough for the Lens even they won against PSG at home, but they lost four points in two matches which are vital for them and Marseille now in next few weeks will we have Marseille at second spot and Lens could be slip because they are looking under pressure which is not good for them after having second spot for long time Monaco is also improving their performance which is giving impression they could be at third and Lens have to stay at fourth.

Now in coming week, we have two tough matches first Rennes will host PSG and then Marseille will host Lorient all other teams are going to play against weaker sides which is surely having not any impact on league table but these two matches surely important because these can change the table.

Marseille are like they are back in their shape at the beginning of the season now. They are on a five-win streak currently and it just feels like this streak will go on for longer. Their performance has been quite impressive recently that they are worth betting on. I watched their Troyes match and it was such a one-sided match. They could have destroyed Troyes by even a bigger score if they used most of their goal chances in an effective way. These are very good signals and they are back in the competition again.

By saying competition I don't mean the league championship of course. Because PSG would do their thing as usual and finish the season earlier with another title. Marseille's realistic target is to finish in second position.

Lorient vs Monaco was quite competitive just as I expected. I was seeing Monaco one step ahead anyway to get a win here.

Actually they could have made it but they wasted many opportunities. There were a couple of shots coming back from the goal post for example. I must admit that Lorient were really impressive in this match. They made a comeback after being 1-0 behind and got 2-1 ahead. They were nearly winning if it weren't for the goal came in the stoppage time. Ben Yedder really saved the team but I don't think they are satisfied with this score at all. Because the gap with the Champions League are has got bigger now.

This one point is enough for them instead of getting no points at all.
But on the other hand I actually didn't know that this match would end in a draw because after the score was 2-1 until 90 minutes I didn't watch anymore and felt that this was already the end for Monaco but unexpectedly at 90+3 they scored a goal that I missed.
With this result it doesn't change anything for their current condition but it's still a bit and they are still in a pretty good standing even though the conditions are really tight here.

As I said, PSG won 2-0 without much effort. By the way, even after watching the video replays and the lines that VAR drew, I have doubts that Messi's goal was scored according to the rules - is there an obvious offside there? Another strange refereeing decision in the era of VAR - sometimes they determine millimeters of offside sometimes they don't see the obvious.

They have the required players in the team and big names present in the team, Christophe Galtier doing a great job in paris. PSG unstoppable with good winning points in the game, so fantastic to watch Leo Messi spectacular performance in the game after the world cup. The world cup winner and also a decorated player returned to actions with outstanding performance. PSG won 2 nil, although most fans concluded Leo Messi goal as offside but with proper confirmation from VAR, the referee awarded the goal. The Parisians won the game with ease and topping first on the ligue 1.

I got a loss too in this match. because indeed I am quite sure about Lens but unexpectedly for Strasbourg they played very well in this match.
Their conditions were very different, especially seeing how quickly in the first half they responded to my hunch that I was worried enough there and it was proven. My bet lost though for a bet both teams could score I did get a little back on my losing bet to see who won.
