Well, PSG lacks Messi and Neymar mainly but that should not be an excuse to fail like that vs the team that is following them closely
It is like a reward for Lens after they missed 2 points in the previous round, they gave them 3 points for free so reducing the gap to just 4 points!
I believe PSG didn't take the match seriously and they are tired a bit too.
Lyon also had a disappointing result vs Clermont although their opponent lost their two previous matches..

PSG just lost their match. I lost a bet. It was the last game. I did not watch the match. I'm so angry right now. I never expected this from them. They struggled to win in their last game and they lost the one. The worst they could have gotten today was a draw or so I  taught.
But we move. They'll still win their league anyway.

Did you see it, just like I said. Paris Saint-Germain's win series will end in such a match, I said the conditions were suitable for this, and as I said exactly Paris Saint-Germain was defeated. They received their first defeat in the league. Lens showed that it was not a surprise to be in the second place. Frankowski and Maurice scored for the first time, while Openda scored the 8th goal in the league. What a player!
Paris Saint-Germain is still the leader and there are 4 points difference between them. We could think that they had luxury to lose in the league and they used it. When the main squad returns, Paris Saint-Germain will continue with the winning series again.

Lens has played extraordinary when facing PSG, the Lens team really took advantage of this match to get the full points because in that match there were no Neymar and Messi so it could be a little easier for Lens to overwhelm PSG and get the win even though not in a way The easy one. Adding points to Lens is very important as the aim is to get close to PSG in the provisional standings as close as possible from now on.

Lens wins 3-1 and costs the first defeat of the season at Psg in Ligue one, what do you think? Maybe PSG players are more tired after this World Cup? Or just a somewhat unfortunate recovery of the championship?

Well, of all the Ligue 1 from the beginning, Lille, Monaco, Marseille are the teams that I like the most so that they could face PSG, PSG is one of the teams that make the League not so exciting, if it is exciting , but not as much as we have in the Premier League, also for the Spanish League.

However, I don't know, but those teams that are in the second division and that go up to the first division is the only option I see for them to be able to face PSG, many of the teams that are from the French league I see that they have too much respect for PSG. PSG, and I think that things should not be like this.

Golovin gives Monaco winning start to Ligue 1 year

Lens was a difficult opponent for PSG and they managed to beat PSG with a score of 3-1, Lens got 3 points from this match and gave PSG a point closer to the top of the standings, Lens is still in second place, only about 4 points away from the ranking the first to be occupied by PSG

Monaco is a prime example of teams that was underrated because of the results. There are plenty of teams that people saw as "bad" teams because of the results when they were actually good teams that got bad results that's it. Look at United at premier league, they started at 20th place, LAST team in the table, and look how great they are right now.

Same goes for Monaco, they were always GOOD but just got bad results, now they are getting results they deserved to get and that is why they are so great. I hope that they continue this momentum because I used to lose a lot of money on their games, but for a while they have been making a good profit for me.

Exactly, that is the reason they are having more difficulties now. PSG are weaker when they have only one of the trio on the field. Of course it depends on the opponent still. But Lens are like the most difficult team to face for them in such situations. Lens are just able to take advantage of the situation very well now. I was giving them a chance to do this but didn't bet on them. I wish I tried my luck by betting with a small amount.    Neymar is suspended due to red card and Messi is still being rested.

Mbappe's services are needed in the second half. Ekitike scored their only goal of course but Mbappe's effort is more crucial for the team to make a comeback or at least get a point.

 It seems that Lance wants to win this match, Messi and Neymar are missing this game and maybe that's why PSG are not so dangerous. In the previous match, Lance lost points in away match with Nice, but at home they are very strong, if I'm not mistaken, their streak before this match was 19 games without a defeat and 9 wins in a row, at home. The team is making very good progress, but after the draw with Nice, I thought that the team would have a recession, but now we can see that they are still in great shape.

The first half so far is very intriguing. Lance was able to score a quick goal, but Psg answered just as quickly. Now the score is 2-1, but the second half is still ahead. I also think that PSG will not win this match, although they can shoot as well as Lance. For me, this game, as expected, is really interesting. The teams are attacking, there are already a lot of goals. I hope the game will be no less interesting.

It was a very interesting match, Lens succeeded to take the lead in 5 minute on goal by Frankowski, then Ekitiké can make to a draw in three minutes later. As expected PSG will not lose points in this match, although they are behind but they can equalize quickly. But this match wasn't over yet, Openda succeeded in bringing Lens to lead again, the current score is 2-1 in just under 30 minutes

Monaco had a great win. Image of football fans enjoying their game. Their style of play has improved a lot from earlier which will have a good effect in the later matches. They dominated the entire match.

Judging from the current line-up and the bench registered in this match, there is no Messi's name there because he will only return after the new year and the time does not allow him to play now even though he is already in Paris.
But now it will be even more interesting, I think without the presence of Messi and Neymar, will PSG still be able to get 3 points.

The absence of Neymar and Messi in the main squad makes this a bit of an interesting thing to watch for me.
PSG appear in their usual formation but Mbappe's current tandem is Soler and Ekitike.
Neymar should be out due to accumulation of cards and Messi may still not be back but they are still pretty strong with this squad, Vitinha is also off the bench in this game even though he played quite well in the previous game.

The fact that the team is not the two most important factor players makes me suspicious about this match result. On the other hand, I want to watch Mbappe alone, we don't know how it will be. Although there are shortcomings, I do not expect a loss from PSG. Frankly, I don't expect an easy win. Neymar is suspended, I know that, what was Messi's situation?

Yeah a tough game indeed psg will miss some other important players like kimpembe and renato sanchez, psg performance has been somehow poor lately i can see why people will doubt their ability to win lens is the second best team in ligue 1 this season they can even beat psg today its tough to predict the outcome.

The most interesting match of today is Lance and PSG. Lance is not bad this season and not far behind PSG. The difference is only 7 points. That is the match between the two strongest clubs in the French league. It is interesting that PSG will not play Neymar and Messi, so many people doubt that PSG will win this game. It seems to me, too, that it could be a draw here.

Nantes 1 - 0 Auxerre

this is an expected result for me, I didn't see another result in that game, Nantes seemed to me a better team than Auxerre who came into this game with a sequence of 2 defeats, in the last 5 games they had bad results while theirs opponent Nantes came into this game with a sequence of 2 draws, they had a defeat but before that they had a draw and that showed to some extent that they are not an easy team to be defeated

Toulouse 2 - 0 AC Ajaccio

this is a rather surprising result for me, I expected that AC Ajaccio would be able to do better in this game, they came into this game with 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw, while their opponent Toulouse was in a much worse condition because they came to this game with a sequence of 4 consecutive defeats, but surprisingly they managed to score 2 goals and won the game. with this victory, Toulouse leaves the sequence of 4 consecutive defeats

Monaco 1 - 0 Brest

Monaco already came into this game as a favorite, they came with 3 wins and only one defeat and in their last game they won then against an opponent who came to this game of mixed results in which there was a defeat, a victory, a draw was of course monaco would win that game. but I didn't expect that they would only be able to score 1 goal

Angers 1 - 2 Lorient

Angers has not been well in the last few games, they have already accumulated a losing streak, but I must say that in this game they were very unlucky, they were already winning the game, they were unlucky with the own goal and with conceding a goal in the 88th minute, they could have won this game, I think the coach's strategy is failing a lot

Lyon 0 - 1 Clermont Foot

before this game started I already saw that this would be the kind of game without a favorite and that anyone would win it would be enough to score only 1 goal and for that reason I didn't bet on this game, I even thought about the under goal but then I thought better and didn't bet on that game

I don't think PSG will let Lens get 3 points from the game later because of course this is PSG's chance to keep the points away from LENS at the top of the standings so that PSG can easily win the league this season, if indeed PSG are without some great players PSG can play well in the match later at least a draw is good enough, at least not losing points or losing
