Yes, You're right I agree about Marseille, this team still capable of competing in the league for the title, but the real winner is still PSG. Today PSG will also play against Nice, I'm sure PSG will not lose, also currently fully motivated to see the top 1 standings occupied by Marseille. Also anyway, PSG are unbeaten in all competitions this season. Even impossible for PSG to be relegated.

I read as you said that PSG must be very careful at every match they play if not they will be relegated. I was like does relegation have any other meaning in football? Relegation mean to stop playing in the top league and be demoted to a lower League, you would have used another word.

As long as I know, PSG has no much threat in the France League, Marseille will only be able to tell us that they are fit to compete for the title if they can win PSG home and away. We all know that they can't do this, so the league is still for the Giants PSG 

Strasbourg's performance this season is so inversely proportional to their performance last season.
Even though at the moment Rennes is still not in the best form, compared to Strasbourg and I think this will be a win for Rennes because indeed facing Rennes with the current conditions is clearly difficult, I think it is difficult for Strasbourg to get out of pressure.

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.

As you mention we have three teams undefeated until now in this season, but I am feeling we have good changes with few teams are doing good job from the start, and we need good performance from them for some more weeks because even right now this is one of the most bore league in Europe, but current situation can create some good interest which could be good for fans as well as we have Lens and Lorient both are doing amazing job.

Teams like Lille, Monaco and Lyon are struggling for their best, but they have to face tough challenge which is good for entertainment purpose and now in this round we are going to have two very interesting matches which are going to be give better shape to league table for this season first match is going to play between Lorient vs Lille and second is having Lens vs Lyon both are good matches to watch.

But can they keep the game they created now? because that's what's really hard to do, which is to maintain something extraordinary. So far they seem fine and have not found any serious problems in the team. But we do not know in the future whether they will remain consistent or not. I hope my worries don't happen, and that Marseille can continue to be at their best.

Strasbourg vs Rennes and compared to the recent performance from both of teams obviously Rennes is far better from Strasbourg although this team only can able to get 3 winning from 8 matches but they are in the good shape because 4 times streak no loses and for Strasbourg they still attempts to get their first winning until now but i noticed Strasbourg always be playing poor in the second half and conceded goals several times which makes they failed to win so maybe Rennes can utilized this weakness and for bet option this indeed very risky but i would like to try bet for Rennes win for this match

Marseille's players are consistently playing well. Due to the excellent bonding between the team players, they are able to play well despite the lack of star players on the team. Every player on the team is trying to play well in his position. And so Marseille is performing well in almost every match. And they are challenging PSG for the title.

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.

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.

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.

The Marseille squad is getting stronger this season, especially since the arrivals of Alexis Sanchez and Luis Javier Suarez have made Marseille's
front line more productive. Therefore Marseille this season has won several times with a fairly large score, and it can be proven that when facing
Angers it turned out that Marseille could win by scoring 3 goals. I believe Marseille this season will perform better than the previous season.
Although it must be admitted that it is difficult to compete with PSG, at least Marseille can make Ligue 1 a little more interesting.

It's true that Angers played well, they created quite a few chances, but apart from the Marseille defense which is very solid. That's because
the Angers players do have poor quality up front, Angers forwards find it difficult to take advantage of the opportunities they get, it must be
understood because the Angers players have quality far below the Marseille players. With Marseille's victory, make them temporarily rise to
the top position. Even if it's only for a short time that they're at the top, because after PSG played and won, Marseille would return to second place.
But at least Marseille have tried to show their best form this season. I hope Marseille can perform consistently until the end of the season.

Marseille started their season very well, scoring loads of goals and also keeping things very tidy at the back too, they're the 2nd higest scoring team in the Frenc league this season, and they also have the 2nd best defensive record. From what I've noticed from the French Ligue 1 over the past few seasons is that you really can tell which team are going to have phenomenal season, after about the first 10 games or thereabout, I don't expect them to provide a stiff competition with PSG in terms of the title chase though, but I reckon that they're going to have pretty decent season.

Quality was big difference between these two teams and Marseille were at the top of their game with these three points now they are at the top of the league table for one day and with this performance they are only team which can give some challenge to PSG because in last few years we have only these two teams which are doing good job in this league and have no good challenger for their top spots but with this win surely now many are feeling they can go through with PSG throughout season.

Angers is also done good job in first half, but sadly this was not enough, and they have not enough quality to stop Marseille from doing goals as their attack is also at his best now they are undefeated in 9 games and can go with this result for some more weeks now tomorrow we have another big match PSG vs Nice.

Marseille's attacking lineup has been very strong this season. Marseille won 3-0 today. They have performed very well. But Angers' players did not play badly. They attacked a lot and kept trying to score until the last minute. But Angers was unable to score any goal due to the good performance of Marseille's defender and goalkeeper Lopez. But the match was enjoyable enough. Marseille will likely keep the points gap with PSG unchanged for a while longer.

Marseille put on a good show especially thanks to their performance in the second half. I was really worried about my bet on them after seeing Angers too effective in the first half. But thankfully they were very incapable of finishing up their dangerous attacks with a goal. It was a turning point for Marseille so the 3-0 score shouldn't be misleading for anyone.

PSG - Nice is not a very difficult one for PSG indeed. As PSG have lost the lead this would be a motivation source for them to show a high level of performance to finish the game early. As long as the trio have a good day it wouldn't be hard for them to destroy Nice.

I expected to see PSG running alone by 10 points difference by the 10th round but Marseille and Lens are doing good so far and hopefully they could continue doing the same.
Marseille will face PSG in two weeks then Lens a week later. Lens will face Lyon, Lille, Montpellier then Marseille which are quite hard games.
Regarding the upcoming games before the international break for World Cup, the ranking might shift a little bit.

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.

So far there are only 3 unbeaten teams, that is marseille, PSG, and Lens. marseille ended the match against angers perfectly, they scored 3 goals and it made them top of the standings. PSG will face NICE, it is certain that PSG will win because NICE's performance is very bad. marseille's position will be shifted.

Seeing the match some time ago Marseille were still very solid and this is a good thing in my opinion because at least with this they can keep them competitive with PSG and the decision will probably still happen in the second week in October when they meet.
There is still Ajaccio they have to face and this can be capital for them because at least they have to get a draw with PSG because it is difficult to win.
