The Angers match is normally a comfortable one for Marseille. Because Angers have had a really bad start and Marseille are doing amazing recently. Rennes finished their winning streak maybe but they are still unbeaten in the league.
But interestingly bookmakers are giving an odd like 1.88 to Marseille win. I wonder if it's related to their recent head-to-heads. Because Marseille can't beat Angers in this stadium for two times in a row. To be honest, I don't think that this is the match Marseille are losing. Angers have a terrible defense now as they've conceded 18 goals. Marseille are very productive and they should be able to take advantage of their defensive weakness.

This week is an opportunity for Marseille to continue to stick to Paris Saint Germain at the top of the table by winning the match against Angers. Despite playing away, Angers is not a difficult opponent to beat by Marseille. Anger itself is now ranked 14th with 8 points. Angers is one of the teams with the worst defense so far, from 8 matches they have conceded 18 goals. That means they have an average of 2 goals conceded per game. Marseille should have recorded a win by scoring more than 2 goals.
looking at the last results of these two teams we can see that Angers has improved a lot in the last 2 games, they managed to have two consecutive victories and without a doubt they come to this game confident because Marseille in their last game had a draw and was not a tie against a very strong team, knowing that they only managed to score 1 goal, I would say that in this game they can draw or lose, but getting a win won't be easy, I thought about betting on under 3.5 goals, but the odd is @1.43 what for me it's still a very low odd that doesn't pay off, maybe I'll bet on Marseille's victory, it will be a risky bet, but as the odds are @1.86 it can pay off in case they win

After this break now we are heading again for this usual business with in ninth round we have few very entertaining matches which are going to be had good changes in league table for the future with PSG is going to host Nice which is having the worst start of this season and now down in league table and Angers are going to host Marseille which is having good season and staying at second spot which is also usual for them but after this we have few very entertaining matches which are surely going to good for fans as well Lorient which is currently at third spot going to host Lille and Lens is going to host Lyon both teams are doing amazing performance in this season.Interestingly, many are surprised with their current spot for staying at this level they need to keep momentum and give good performance against these teams which is surely going to be good for them because with these challenging matches they can feel good confidence and having better chance for ending at the higher rank.

Or is this time to double on the money on Marseille?
Well for me, Marseille and Lille were the teams that I thought were going to stand out the most in the French league, I thought they were going to face PSG, because a team like Marseille has everything it takes to be able to stop a team like PSG, my epseranzans changed in that direction, and it's not because I don't want PSG to stay in the league again, not at all, I just want a rival to come out that doesn't make it easy for them like it was last season, to That is very important to me, just as I think that for now these teams will hardly get out of where they are stuck, and PSG the only one that can give them a fight is any team from the UCL.To be fair, the expectations on them are more or less the same every season. Even last season, everyone expected Lille to fall apart (and they actually did I guess, if you consider what they'd achieved the season before), it was a last-gasp effort and PSG had a hell of a blip of a season.
Monaco I think have been on a slow and arduous road to recovery but I think they're just suspect at the back now, but this season I do think Marseille (and Lens) are still unbeaten.
What are you talking about PSG not staying in the league? Ha.
In Ligue 1, PSG is in a league apart itself. They really do not have any close competitors. In my opinion, there is not even one team which can actually put up a good fight with PSG as far as I am concerned. They are not going to face any real competition until there is some really rich person who decides to buy the ownership of another club and starts bringing in world-class players to the club. However, I do not think that is going to happen. A big competition at the beginning is not going to be something anyone is going to want to face. Monaco and Lille are only able to cause a little trouble for PSG but never actually trouble them enough to dethrone them from their position as champions.

Matchday ninth looks like it will be the moment for Lyon and Lille to hold back Lorient and Lens, this is the right moment for Lyon and Lille to close the point gap which is quite far now. If Lyon and Lille can't take advantage of this match to win, then of course it will be more difficult for them later to be able to penetrate to get a European ticket next season. Indeed, if we consider head to head at least Lyon and Lille have a good record but unfortunately, so far this season they have not looked well when playing away. Especially about Lyon from three away matches so far, Lyon have never won and only got one draw and two losses, with such a record it looks like Lyon will not win this match.
I also hope that Lille and Lyon can beat their respective opponents, although Lorient and Lens are not easy opponents to beat. Especially this season
Lorient has experienced an extraordinary increase in performance, Lorient in addition to being in 3rd position, Lorient also won 4 consecutive wins.
So I doubt Lille can beat Lorient, then for Lyon, where the last 3 games have 3 consecutive defeats, it also seems like it will be difficult to face Lens.
Which Lens this season has also been outstanding and until the 8th game in Ligue 1 they are unbeaten at all.
So it looks like it takes a miracle for Lille and Lyon to win. I hope Lyon and Lille can play in European competition next season, therefore both Lyon and
Lille should have high motivation to be able to win. It must be admitted that the performances of Lille and Lyon have been disappointing since
the previous season. It turns out that this season, Lyon and Lille have both shown inconsistent performances. So I'm a little doubtful that Lille and Lyon
can win in the 9th round, especially since their opponents are also in the top 4.

Actually last season was not much different from previous seasons, they are still too strong in Ligue 1 and continue to try to realize their dream on the Champions League stage. PSG are mighty in the domestic league, but not in other competitions. there were several weaknesses of PSG last season, one of which was that PSG's defense was not very good, midfielders who did not contribute too much in crucial matches, especially the Champions League. even messi took quite a long time to find his best game at PSG.
IMO, right now, psg is better than in previous seasons architected by galtier. I can say that PSG have a bigger chance compared to last season, for the Champions League.

I'd lie if your analysis aren't correct, PSG lacked some level of creativity in the middle, those player's they have are only for league game's, you'll see Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr dropping deep for passes to create chance for goal.
The midfielder's should have done some job there rather they couldn't face the likes of Modric, Kross, Casemiro, Valverde and lastly Camavinga to battle the middle.
Those players are good during league 1 games but not during Champions League football/ game's. A lot of people are tipping them for the champions league but I do not think they are already.

some time ago I saw statistics that mbappe never gave an assists to neymar and messi, it was because he was obsessed with being the top scorer. Football is a game for 11 people, not a game for mbappe only.
It's not new, in the eyes of some fans he is known as an ambitious player to score goals alone, especially since his name became known after join with Paris Saint-Germain. That's also what makes some fans dislike him because he's greedy
But it's natural for me, because Kylian Mbappe is a relatively young player, for his future career glory, Mbappe needs achievements and top scorer is his goal at the moment.
So I wouldn't be surprised if he has a record no assists for another PSG striker
But indeed for fairness this can indeed be considered natural, he is one of the young players and indeed his performance is very good so when he is given more proportions at the club it will certainly be like that so it is difficult to change his attitude now.
There's no way to justify Mbappe's act if it is true that he doesn't assist his team mates. Mbappe is not the only good player in PSG, before Mbappe started scoring Messi was scoring, Neymar was scoring it doesn't mean he is the only one that can put the ball at the back of the net.
Even if Messi overlooks his behaviour, Neymar will not overlook it and even if both Neymar and Messi do, the fans shouldn't keep quiet, it does promote healthy and team football.
This issue of Mbappe not assisting other teammates to score especially Messi and Neymar has been seen several times in their matches but I think that behavior of Mbappe has been addressed by their coach because in their last Champions League game against Maccabi Haifa there was a lot of teamwork between the trio as Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar scored in the game and they helped each other with an assist and a potential ball movement leading to the goals. The fans reacted to the attitude of Mbappe when the whole drama was happening but since they got back playing as a team am yet to notice a different look from Mbappe so I believe the PSG team is in good shape again.

They belong to best clubs in Champions League in theory and only recent seasons they managed to join quarter and semi final rounds more regularly. They had a first Champions League final but failed. Anyway, it is good improvement for them and for better achievement. Finally I believe they will win Champions League in this season or in near future season.
Of course, PSG have chances to win the Champions League title for every season they participate in, but sadly they haven't been successful. Their probabilities this season are good based on some predictions, but in the end it's just predictions. Proof must be done, especially since PSG have poured a lot of money into their squad, so players must try to spend more energy to pay off the club owner's dream to lift the first Champions League title.They are good at attacking but they must find balance between attacking and defense. Their defense is never good and with the trio, they have very little contribution for proactive defense. It would be problems for them in big matches when opponents are dangerous with counter attacking.
Many strikers have weaknesses to help the defense but they can win a lot of competitions. The problem is, PSG must have good defenders and midfielders to help the defense and keep the team balanced in attack and defence. You can't expect the strikers to help the defense more, it's definitely difficult.

There is no doubt about PSG performance in the domestic league, PSG has been able to dominate Ligue 1 for years without a single club being able to break their dominance. But PSG encountered difficulties in Europe, they did not appear as mighty as in Ligue 1. Even though it has been filled with several players who have won the Champions League several times, PSG looks like a team that does not have a winning mentality. If you measure the depth of the squad, PSG has a more complete squad than other teams, but due to the lack of competitiveness in the Domestic league, PSG have difficulty facing tough opponents in the European arena.
After PSG dominance on Ligue 1 destroying by Lille in this season 2020/2021 actually last and this season PSG returning keep dominance as single team have chance for Ligue 1 trophy. Consistent performance and success lead first standing position until 8 games I think PSG have chance continue for Ligue 1 trophy in this season. Actually on position standing just left 2 different points between Marseille and PSG, but most impressive with goals scoring by PSG until 8 games success made 26 goals and conceded 6 goals, Marseille left 10 goals from PSG just scoring 16 goals and conceded 5 goals.No doubt looking on last several season PSG performance on UEFA Champion League not have winning mentality, actually last season after success won first leg against with Real Madrid but can't continue to win on second leg. I think PSG need improve winning mentality on Champion League if want to try how lucky this season can reach, will lead until final stage or stuck on 16 round phase like last season.

They have issues with mentality and easily lose control at important times. They must improve it if they want to win Champions League. Like in the past season, we saw how good they can play but again they lost in the end by stupid serial mistakes personally. Such mistakes are unacceptable in big matches and in Champions League, it will be punished by opponents.Maybe you will know that this season the probability of PSG in the Champions League to win the title is also very good. PSG became the second team after Manchester City to have a percentage probability of reaching the final and winning the title, but that is just a prediction that cannot be fully benchmarked.

PSG and their attacking trio have been very good so far. Their goal productivity is very high where for 8 matches they have scored 17 goals. Neymar leads with 8 goals, Mbappe 7, while Messi 4. If this trio is very compact, then I believe their goal stats will be very good this season.

Furthermore if there’s one thing I have learnt about champions league is that league stats don’t matter and when the favourites play with over confidence they often end up losing, hence PSG will have to perform exceptionally well to reach the finals first and then dream about lifting the trophy.

Yes, PSG last season still had some problems and one of them was about Messi and also about their previous coach, but this season they have gotten better. With a performance like this where they have a coach who can get their players back to their best, and even the current coach can reshape the chemistry of previously broken players, then of course their chances of advancing further in the Champions League are very possible. I'm personally optimistic that PSG this season will reach the Champions League final, because this season is a season where PSG have a better form and their chances are very good this season.IMO, right now, psg is better than in previous seasons architected by galtier. I can say that PSG have a bigger chance compared to last season, for the Champions League.
So it's not an exaggeration, right, to say that SPG has a bigger chance in the Champions League compared to last season. although galtier is minimal with achievements, but so far he has earned the trust of his players. no one doubts PSG's dominance in Ligue 1, even though from first place to fourth place only a few points adrift.
however, for the champions league. with the depth they have at the moment, at least they should be able to finish all the way to the finals, that's my hope.
even so, their run in the champions league will not be as smooth as in the domestic league, there are several other clubs who are also strong and have greater opportunities. one of them is Real Madrid, they have a winning mentality.

Real Madrid's performance is stable and consistent. On the other hand, despite having many star players in the PSG squad, their performance is still not stable. But their performance is weak Nola has no chance. PSG has the ability to win against any strong team. But I would say their performance needs to be a bit more stable and consistent if they want to win the title. Otherwise, they may not be able to qualify for the Champions League final this season.
Nola what do you mean? Do you mean to say Nice team in this ? because in the near future PSG will face a Nice team (not Nola) at their own home with a win potential which I think is bigger for PSG. because this is considering the Nice team this season is not so strong and consistent in winning matches and from the eight matches that the Nice team has played, only twice have Nice been able to win so far.

PSG ended last season as they started this season - mostly big wins against all the teams in Ligue 1. Of course this happened after they were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid but the fact remains - if we talk about the interaction of players, then by the end of the past season it was at a high level. If the results of the current season are assessed as a continuation of the past, then we can assume that PSG will be more successful in the Champions League this season. But there are no guarantees, because let's say in the 1/8 or 1/4 finals they can meet with Manchester City or Bayern, and then their next relegation will be quite likely.Real Madrid's performance is stable and consistent. On the other hand, despite having many star players in the PSG squad, their performance is still not stable. But their performance is weak Nola has no chance.

It seems that the ligue one will return this week end it seems that nice team will be psg next target, they have been playing poorly this season and their attack is one of the weakest in the frensh league i highly doubt they can score against psg in an away game i think a draw will be the best they can do.
The most interesting games this weekend are PSG-Nice, Lorient-Lille and Lens-Lyon.PSG to win is expected, even bookies put 15 odds for Nice
Lorient and Lille are very close with slight advantage for Lille but I think Lorient is good enough to surprise them.
Lens-Lyon is the closest game tho, everything could happen there. It will be interesting to see Lens continuing with 0 defeat.
