It was a pretty interesting match actually. Angers had very important chances in the first thirty minutes of the match. But they wasted all the chances they found. Clauss scored a superb goal right after that and relieved Marseille a little. Ending the first half 1-0 ahead must have been beneficial for them a lot. Because they were completely different in the other half.

They took control of the match more and found so much space in Angers defense. They took advantage of it in a great way by scoring two more goals before the 60th minute. Angers couldn't react to any goal until the late minutes of the match. Now we see Marseille at top in the standings temporarily. But most probably PSG would defeat Nice and take back the lead.

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.

A huge result for marseille team today with a 3 0 victory over angers team in an away game, they managed to break angers team momentum after two consecutive wins, the game was not easy at first, especially in the first thirty minutes angers team was really close to scoring but after marseille first goal everything want in the visitors way, these important three points will put marseille in the lead for now.
The difference in performance is actually quite far in this match so that indeed Marseille won very well even though in the previous 2 matches Angers managed to win but in terms of strength they clearly lost badly to Marseille.
A striking scoreline was the end of this game and I love seeing Suarez get his name on the scoreboard in this match.

Marseille have been maintaining their dominance in ball possession against Angers so far. However they don't have so many goal attempts yet. They are letting Angers come to their goal quite often on one hand also. This is really dangerous for their streak now. They are still one of the teams that haven't lost any match in the league. If they don't want this to change against a much weaker team they need to be more solid in defense.

By saying weak I mean that Angers have started the season really poorly. There is no improvement in their performance after staying in the league hardly last season. They are again one of the candidates for relegation with their performance so far. Marseille should concentrate on the match more. I know that they are focused on the league more than the Champions League now.

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.

In my opinion, the composition of PSG is not balanced and the good results that they show against obviously weak teams will not necessarily be preserved when playing against strong ones. The Mbappe-Neymar-Messi trio is good in attack, but these players don't like to defend very much. When playing with Bayern - City - Liverpool, etc. it may turn out that in the phase when it is necessary to play on the defensive, the rest of the PSG players will play as if in a minority (for example, without one player) because of this trio. I doubt that Galtier is able to solve this problem.
I agree with you, this PSG trio cannot be relied on to help defend when the team needs a lot of players to defend against attack. But of course they don't have to do it more often if PSG's midfielders and defenders are capable enough to play well. Messi is mostly in 1/3 of the pitch, so are Neymar and Mbappe, but I don't think it's a big deal if the other 7 players can handle it.

This season Ramos is very fit to continue playing, he is a good tandem for Marquinhos even though currently Ramos is not as strong as he used to be. Danilo, Hakimi and Verrati are also expected to contribute a lot in defence, so I think the lack of contribution of their trio in defense will not be too detrimental to the team.

Angers - Marseille is one of the best matches of the night and will start shortly. There are 1.75 odds on the Marseille win prediction. I found the odds on the Marseille win in this match satisfactory. I think it's worth a try.

Igor Tudor was hotly debated at the beginning of the year. There were also reports in the press that some of the players did not want him. But he made a very good start to the season with Marseille. Maybe they have made the best start in the history of Marseille this season. Also, in the French League, PSG are starting to form a Bayern Munich influence. They are the league's biggest favourites. That's why I think Marseille's successful performance this season is very important for improving the quality of the league. If they leave the title race early, the French League will be under PSG's control. In this case, the quality of competition in the French League will also decrease a little. I hope such a scenario does not happen.

The opening match of week 9 of Ligue-1 will take place today
Starting with the runner up Marseille who will visit the headquarters of Angers. So far Marseille have not encountered a tough challenge and have the potential to win the match easily
Nice who will be guests against PSG tomorrow are in bad performance this season, not much different from Angers
PSG and Marseille are still likely to get points in week 9, the position of the two teams standings probably will not change this week.

There is no doubt that Marseille will win against Angers even though they will play away, in their last meeting even Marseille could win by a big score of 5 - 2. Maybe Marseille's goal in this match will be slightly smaller, based on the Asian handicap, I predict the final score in this match will be Angers 0 - 2 Marseille or Angers 1 - 3 Marseille. WBU?

For PSG, I think it's a waste of time for us to discuss how they will play. We already know what PSG's result will be, LOL.
You seem confident and realistic about the Paris Saint Germain game. But it's only natural that when I look at Paris Saint Germain now, I also think so about this match.
Regarding Marseille it seems the same result with Paris Saint Germain will happen too, namely they will win the game. This week can be said to be an easy match for Paris Saint Germain as well as Marseille.

Marseille has been in great form this season. They are yet to lose a match. They have won 6 of the last 8 matches and drawn 2 matches. They won the last match against Angers by a huge margin of 5-2. However, Marseille has lost points in their last two home matches against Angers. Marseille shared points in one match and lost one. The next match is the home match of Angers. So I don't see any reason to think that Marseille will win easily. Angers team is also in good form now. They have won the last two matches. So I think the match will not be one-sided.

For now even I'm not sure they can beat PSG even with their good form at the moment.
Their biggest chance is to secure a draw and this they can still maintain but to win this will be very difficult although it would be good if they can win because at least there is still a club that can hold PSG to remain competitive .
Marseille and PSG when viewed from the results of eight matches this season are still both unbeaten, only Marseille have drawn twice so that PSG is ranked first in the standings at this time and it can actually still be won by Marseille from PSG if Marseille is still able consistent throughout this season, including having to be able to beat a PSG team that is still very strong in Ligue 1.

Agreed, Marseille and PSG have not lost a game since the beginning of the season, and PSG is currently the league leader after 8 games while Marseille is second in the league with a 2points difference. The Chances of Marseille taking the first place in the league are slim considering the performance of PSG in the Ligue1, PSG taking on Nice this week at home is going to be and easy win for them with the trio of attackers still dangerous after the international duties so I think Marseille needs to be consistent in winning all the matches in the league including getting a win against PSG for them to remain at the top of the league.

The guests are the clear favorite of the Angers vs Olympique Marseille game. The team from Marseille started the season great, they have not lost the match yet and if any team is to fight for the French championship with PSG, it is probably OM. I believe that they will maintain their streak today and win against Angers.

Another news out of PSG is that Mbappe wants to find a way to send Neymar off, he is definitely a great player but he is acting too childish if you ask me. If they actually do that, and they get worse because of it because they will, then it’s all on Mbappe. By the looks of it he rather be the big fish in a small pond then be the big fish in the big pond.

I am shocked that players could have emotions about their teammates and impact the game because of it, I used to work in an office and I disliked so many of my coworkers and yet that didn't cause me to tell the management to fire them, I just worked and kept the chatting with them to a minimum.

Neymar is a really good player and is still in prime and this move from mbappe will be too childish. I was even thinking that they were really good friends. Neymar isnt even injured anymore so he plays always and i think mbappe isnt used to that and wants all the attention

I don't really think this news is true, most likely just a bad rumour.
So far, the discord between the two has faded over time. both Neymar and Mbappe play very professionally when they play, they can contribute to each other. however, again there are always rumors regarding the dispute between these two PSG stars.
I know that Mbappe has a lot of selfishness and this is what often causes disputes between players' relationships.

so far Neymar has been absolutely outstanding, he has scored 8 goals and assisted seven in Ligue 1. as well as Mbappe, he is playing well and has scored 7 goals.
but if these rumors are true, what a shame. because things like this have the potential to adversely affect the performance of the squad as a whole.

I think Marseille is going to be at the top of the table once again. Currently, they are having a good run in the league. The truth is that I did not want them to draw against their previous opponent Rennes, I thought it would be a win for them. I am quite sure that they will be very determined to win and get back to first place on the table. Even though after the next match of PSG, I think PSG will retain the top spot. There is going to be a lot of interest in the next few weeks if Marseille can actually continue to pressure PSG until the end of the season, and who knows, perhaps PSG will also crack under pressure at some point.

Regardless of these considerations, if Marseille can't beat the match against PSG, it will be difficult for Marseille to lead the French Ligue 1 standings. Because Paris Saint-Germain is one of the strongest challenges for any club if it wants to rise and lead the table
Currently Marseille is 2 points away from PSG in 1st position, soon the two teams will meet, I believe the meeting will be decisive to see who will lead the standings between PSG and Marseille

Marseille wouldn't play against PSG yet, not until the 16th of next October at the Parc De Princes, the only the way Marseille will top the league, at least for a temporary term would be getting a win vs Angers tonight. If that should happen, Marseille would then have a point advantage ahead of PSG, the latter who will get to play against Nice later on Saturday.

Marseille are also still yet to taste a defeat so far this season in French league, so I don't see why they should not get an easy result against out of form Angers, except for the fact players are often unpredictable after an international break , although PSG will also likely return to the spot after playing their own fixture.

Lens vs Lyon matches is always competitive. Lens has performed very well this season. They are yet to lose a match. They have been able to continue their good performance consistently. Lyon, on the other hand, has started the season well but has lost their last three matches. Lyon's squad is a strong one, albeit a bit off form right now.

I checked the statistics of the matches between Lens and Lyon. Lens has had no win against Lyon in the last 5 matches. Lyon won three matches. And Lens shared the points in their two home matches. My prediction is that the next match is also going to be a 1-1 draw.
Lens is unbeaten until week 8, but I don't think this record will last much longer if Lens competes with a stronger team. So far Lens have not met PSG in the league, it will probably be a tough challenge for Lens to maintain his record.

However, for the next two matches I'm probably sure Lens will be able to win it. Lyon and Lille are not strong enough defensively, it should be used by Lens to secure 3 points so it is possible for them to extend their unbeaten. For this week, Lyon will probably lose by Lens, because Lens is playing at home and also Lens is in good form to be expected to win.

I agree with you. Lens' performance this season has been steady. Because they are yet to face a strong opponent. They will face Lyon in the next match. Lyon has lost form quite badly. They have lost in the last three matches. However, in all three matches, the opponents were quite strong. They will definitely want to return to the truck. Lyon players will try their best to win against Lens. However, Lyon's defence is not strong enough. The defenders will have to play well if they want to win against Lens.

Lens still unbeaten until 8 games with 5 won and 3 draw in this season, I don't really sure the unbeaten achievement from Lens can stopping by Lyon depending on table position standing Lens have 5 points behinds from Lyon and lock on 4th standing place with 18 points. Lyon settle on 6th position standing and have different 5 points.

Lens have advantage this time because playing home give more motivate to win, however on last 4 home match Lens always win and seem with winning record still can't unbeaten when have chance with playing home, different with Lyon until great achievement when away match success got draw only against with Reims and another left away match always loss.
Right now, we have three teams at top which are undefeated in league and from these three only one is surprise package for fans because no one was expecting performance like this from them Lens is doing good job, and they have very good record at home four wins with just one clean sheet is good for them, and now they are going to face Lyon which is currently the worst side in terms of away matches with no win in their last three matches is also having big impact on their form after this break and if they want to change things then surely they need to win this game because otherwise they are going to have big trouble for staying into top ranks.

Lyon, which was also having good start but suddenly have terrible time as they lost three matches in a row before this break now another tough challenge is waiting for them with hopefully things could be positive.
