Had big hopes on PSG and it was a big mistake, I don't care about their opponent because I think PSG will still win by at least two goals difference. But what happened they only won by one goal difference and in fact, PSG's second goal was made with difficulty. It turns out that their good performance this season is still not enough to break their narrow winning trend against Nice, even though Nice are far behind them in many factors and with their very low odds made me choose another option for handicaps and it ruined my multibet ticket because they only won narrowly.

Previously my estimation in this match, PSG can win the match with a score of 3-1. however, when I saw the line-up of the two teams, my estimation changed.
SPG will not be easy to score many goals in this match. the article, Galtier changed strategy and made Hugo Ekitike the main starter to replace Mbappe's position.
Galtier uses a 3-4-2-1 formation, as a result PSG have trouble scoring goals.
As for Nice, they tend to play defensively and occasionally attack if they get the chance. meaning, with the 5-4-1 formation used by Nice in that match, making SPG have to struggle to get a chance.
and luckily, with Mbappe coming in in the second half, he was able to take the opportunity and make it a win for PSG.

Although PSG won the match by a 2-1 score-line, they fought hard for it. In the game against Nice, Mbappé scored the game's winning goal off the bench for PSG. Following Messi's wonder free-kick, Mbappe scores the winning goal to give PSG all three points. The French champions are two points ahead of Marseille, who defeated Angers 3-0 on Friday.
PSG's version of Messi is like a god who takes care of his children, Mbappe & Neymar. Dribel, keypass, freekick and Messi's actions when he's not carrying the ball are already GOAT levels!
Looks like I'm starting to enjoy the psg version of messi. Messi barca is madness, messi psg is maturity, and messi argentina is perfection if they win the world cup.

I failed to watch but heard the free kick was beautiful taken by Messi and the goal keeper was left surprised
They did all they could do to go back to the top position.
With Kylian Mbappe putting them ahead after Messi's free kick got canceled by Nice.
Good win they be preparing well for the champions league game.

Nice isn't in its best shape. Their defeats are equal to their victories and draws. Yet, they maintained a draw vs PSG for long until Mbappe goal in the last 10 minutes of the game.
PSG and Marseille stayed without defeat for 9 rounds and the last team which has 0 defeat is Lens and will play home vs Lyon today. Odds are in favour of Lens according to bookies.

PSG quality is much better than Nice, so it's not surprising that many predictions prioritized PSG victory in that the match, but in terms of the game, Nice made it difficult for PSG to win the match even though they continued to dominate throughout the match, but PSG had difficulty scoring goals after Messi Free Kick goal happen, when the match was drawn 1-1 it seemed that the PSG squad had difficulty breaking into the Nice defense even though they continued to shoot, but fortunately Mbappe who came on as a substitute in the 59th minute was able to become a hero by scoring the winning goal for PSG in that match.

Monaco vs Nantes and home team Monaco in the positive condition after get 3 consecutive wins on France league and today against Nantes they will attempts to get their 4th wins and on the paper this should be easy match for Monaco because Nantes very weak this season even they cannot able to get the winning results on their last 4 matches but i was slightly worried about Monaco home ground records because 2 lose which they get this season is came from home ground matches so i am hoping Monaco can improved their home matches records and win today

But I assume that PSG didn't want to consume their energy too much in this match taking the Champions League match in a few days into account. Their minds must have been there mostly as they can guarantee their lead if they get good results against Benfica.
I don't feel it was because they didn't want to consume their energy, that was a very important game for them too and i feel their performance was the way it was because some of their players were tired after playing for their countrries last week, and they also had a short time to prepare as a group for this match, but it didn't cost them, as a win is a win, and the most important thing is the three points which they got. People always expect psg to win 4-0, 5-0, etc, but they forget that in football no matter how strong you are, you can't win big all the time.

Sorry mate shit happens in football. Nice were impressive in their attack although not good enough to have secured a draw. At some point i was expecting a draw after the equalising goal by NICE because their defensee got so tight afterwards. But PSG had to play with so much team work and extra pressure before Mbappe could net the ball.

PSG were under control of the match in both halves actually. Nice had only 4 shots in total and only one of them was on target. This proves how much PSG dominated the match however they couldn't reflect this onto the score very easily. They didn't start with Mbappe which might be one of the biggest reasons. He entered the game in place of Ekitike after an hour passed in the match and scored the winning goal of the match also. Neymar was very ineffective in this match by the way. If it was a Champions League match then their opponent would be more merciless.

But I assume that PSG didn't want to consume their energy too much in this match taking the Champions League match in a few days into account. Their minds must have been there mostly as they can guarantee their lead if they get good results against Benfica.

Maybe they can do it, maybe not - it's one thing to play "sub-optimally" against weak opponents and still win, and another thing to play against strong opponents (some of which I have listed) when every little thing matters. At the beginning and middle of last season, I observed an obvious pattern - when the trio played together, then PSG played clearly worse than when one of the trio was absent (either Messi, then Neymar due to injury). By the end of the season, the situation has improved, but this does not mean that this problem does not exist at all and it will not manifest itself in important games.
Actually this is also optional because when they are pressed, they inevitably have to defend and it is impossible to stay in front, but on the other hand, with their current condition, why should their trio be pulled into the middle of the field? to survive because of the complete dominance of PSG in the match.

Do you think that when playing against Bayern, Liverpool, City and even Barcelona, PSG will dominate in the center of the field? I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes.

In the meantime, PSG managed to beat Nice, but the victory was not easy, but this is normal for the game after the games of the national teams.

As Marseille continued to perform consistently well. Dominating Ligue 1 is becoming increasingly difficult for PSG. Marseille is now at the top of the points table. However, if PSG wins the next match, they will be two points ahead of Marseille. PSG will have to play every match very carefully. If they lose a point in a match, they will be relegated. But I doubt whether Marseille can continue their streak. Because we see Ligue 1 teams start the season well but gradually they start falling behind. And at the end of the season, they were about 8/10 points behind PSG.

So far, Marseille has been able to consistently carry out their matches in Liga 1, as a result, they are back in the top ranking temporarily.

As for SPG, this match shouldn't be difficult for PSG. after all Nice is not a strong team, but considering that Nice always use a strategy with a 4-4-2 pattern, it looks like they will focus on surviving in this match. because after all Nice will not give up in this match, at least Nice is targeting one point to maintain their rank on the table.

As for the SPG formation, it looks like they will use the 3-4-2-1 pattern which puts Mbappe as Target Man in this match.
I estimate the final score is 3-1.
Marseille have performed very well this season, their win over Angers has taken them to the top of the standings for a while.

Nice is not a balanced opponent for PSG, the strength that PSG has can easily get a win especially PSG playing at home. PSG don't have to worry about the formation that Nice uses, they have to stay focused on their goals. In this match Galtier installed a front trio filled with Messi, Neymar and Hugo Ekitike. PSG can win easily if PSG deadly trio can work well together. Messi role as Playmaker can help Hugo Ekitike and Neymar to get goals easily through Assists from Messi.

Angers is 14th and lost 3 out of last 5 games, it was expected for Marseille to have an easy one out there, they are at least above PSG for a short while, they should cheer that for sure. I am guessing that PSG will just retake it easily.

Ligue 1 always sees one team to end up fighting harder than anyone else to be the one to beat PSG, Lille did that 2 years ago, and I know that it is not an easy thing and it requires something much bigger than just talent, or money, it requires a bit of luck involved as well. Looking at how in tune PSG seems this year, I cannot see them losing many games, and Marseille has a very very hard job in their hands.
Even though at this moment Marseille can compete with PSG in the temporary standings, Marseille's performance is poor in the Champions League and this case seems to show that Marseille will be more focused on Ligue 1. But yes, how much is Marseille's focus on Ligue 1 but I think they will still hard to maintain its performance until the end. Because PSG's form this season is very promising, not only in Ligue 1 but PSG is also very promising to appear longer in the Champions League. Since Christophe Galtier became the new coach of PSG it has really had a very good impact on the team's performance, even though PSG also won the Ligue 1 title the previous season. But to be honest they have improved better this season under Christophe Galtier, so of course PSG will be easy to return to the top of the standings.

A nice result for Rennes team today they managed to secure three points against a tough opponent like strasbourg they are having a decent season so far, they are currently holding the fifth position but they are still at risk of losing it if monaco or lyon manage to win.
Losing Gerzino Nyamsi in the middle of the first half clearly meant that Strasbourg couldn't do much and the win was quite striking for Rennes in this match.
Actually for the beginning of the first half I liked watching Strasbourg play but indeed with a 1 player advantage it was clear that Rennes was superior in every way in this match.
This result further immersed Strasbourg in the relegation zone with never a win.

With Marseille's consistency in the run of wins and beautiful performances, I think this season is going to be tough for PSG if they should slip away points. It's so clear this season that Marseille is having a good season because they are able to maintain their winning run after 9 matches, so far they have 23 points drawing two matches and winning 7 with multiple goals scored this is a good indication to prove that they are in to battle with PSG for the title this season.  Currently, they are topping the league and with a lost for PSG against Nice today then Marseille will be 1point ahead of them but I doubt if PSG can be defeated in their home ground.
Marseille keep consistency in this season in Ligue 1 after another winning against with Anger 0-3, however 3 points achievement make Marseille lead first standing position place awhile and drop PSG to 2nd place left 1 points only. Seems happy for Marseille can lead first standing position in Ligue 1 although few hours later waiting with games between Nice vs PSG. However have been long time for PSG keep dominance in Ligue but this season seems different after few points left between Marseille and PSG.

I want Nice can make PSG failure get 3 points exactly can give first loss for PSG and get chance Marseille exist on 1st standing until next week match, little possible to see PSG get crash or loss tonight but have focus on Champion League match next mid-week seem not impossible for Nice can give first loss for PSG.

it was an easy win for Marseille even though they played away, they are not successful in the champions league at all, so they have to focus on their ligue so they can compete with PSG, they have to win most of their games and avoid defeat, which they are good at so far, at least PSG hot someone to worry about and it won't be a boring season.
From what has been seen so far, especially this season, Marseille looks quite consistent in playing so they have never lost and only drew twice.
This gives a very good impression for Marseille and will also be a challenger to PSG this season, because just one mistake made by PSG, then PSG's dominance and position at the top of the standings will be taken by Marseille.
Maybe in this case the decision will be seen in mid-October because the two teams will meet.
Of course this is a big match and this is Derby although indeed in their several meetings Marseille still can't make a real breakthrough because they always lose but maybe this will be a good trigger considering the current conditions are a little different.

Marseille has secured their first goal in the first half of the game although the need to press for a second because Angers are making more attempts than them even while Marseille are dominating. Marseille needs to make some improvement in their counter so they can score some more goals else Angers might look for any slight opportunity to equalize
The match ended in a unanimous victory for Marseille and indeed they deserved this considering their performance in the match.
Currently at least until week 9 there is a club that can make PSG competitive and hopefully Marseille will continue like this because it will be interesting for the competition for the title.

As you said Marseille really deserved to win, because Marseille have players of better quality than Angers. The Marseille players have
a very good finishing, so the chances they get can be converted into 3 goals. In fact, if we look at the statistics, Angers has a number of shots
that are not much different from Marseille. The problem is that the Angers front line has a very bad finishing, that's why none of the opportunities
they get can be goals. Marseille's victory made them rise to the top position replacing PSG for a while, but at least Marseille's victory puts PSG
under a bit of pressure.

Hopefully PSG fail to win against Nice, so that Ligue 1 will be more interesting. But it is very unlikely that PSG will lose points against Nice,
besides PSG have better quality players than Nice. Nice also have a very bad performance this season, much different from Nice's performance
the previous season. Maybe because Nice was left by their coach namely Galtier who moved to PSG, therefore Galtier, who knows the Nice players
very well, must know how to beat Nice. So PSG's chances of beating Nice are very big.
Marseille's defense is also quite solid here because they don't let the Angers players go free in their defense and obviously this is a good thing because I saw the Angers players get a little frustrated there.
Nice are currently in not very good form and obviously this will be an easy win I think and I am also making a bet here betting PSG can score more than 2 goals.
