Entering week 4 we will soon see the big match, in which PSG will face Monaco. Even though these two are strong teams, but for me it will not
be too difficult to predict if we look at PSG who played amazingly in the previous 3 matches. Especially when PSG beat Lille with a big score,
it already indicates the possibility of PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy this season with ease. Even though I know it's too early to say so,
but if we look at the previous match which in 3 matches PSG always won big, and it has been very visible this season since Galtier became
the main coach of PSG, for me it is very visible that the cooperation between players is much more solid. So I feel very confident that PSG
this season is too strong for any other team in Ligue 1. Maybe PSG get a serious threat when playing in the Champions League.

So for me PSG will beat Monaco, moreover, Monaco also performed very poorly in the previous match against Lens. What makes me curious is
whether Monaco will have the same fate as Lille who will be beaten by PSG by a big score, because facing Lens at home, Monaco was defeated
by a big score too. Moreover, playing away against PSG who has very high confidence, it makes sense that PSG will beat Monaco with a big score.

Monaco isn't performing good while PSG is doing great. Surprises might happen of course like in Bayern game but the difference here is quite obvious regarding the previous games.
Besides, odds are 1.2 for PSG and 12 for Monaco. Not interesting..

After very poor start in first game against Lille now Auxerre is doing much better and have two back to back wins against two seasoned Ligue 1 teams which are going to give them better confidence for rest of season, and they will be able to play much better than current situation today's win against Strasbourg is good as they have early lead and then able to keep this until end of match.

In another match Lille is also fight back after having big defeat against PSG in last week now they are back in business and won by score of 1 - 3 on road against another new promoted side AC Ajaccio after this win now they are back at top four which is good they need to improve quality for having better results in coming matches and having better end of this season.

He didn't get a good position so inevitably he had to be in Saka's shadow at Arsenal when Arteta took office.
Right now there is still plenty of time for him to recover because if you look at his current age he is still not too old for that. and maybe here he will get his touch back because of course at least here he can still be a major player to become a subscriber to the starting line up.

We enter week 4 for matches in Ligue 1. PSG still dominate the top of the table with 9 points from their 3 consecutive wins. Below them we see Lens, Marseille, Lille and Auxerre with 7 points each. In the last match PSG also made a very impressive result against Lille (Lille 1 - 7 PSG).

Tomorrow we'll also see a very crucial match between PSG and AS Monaco, I choose not to bet if these two teams compete, it is very difficult to predict. Who do you think will win?

I agree that second is the best that they can do, but even that doesn't look like it could be possible unless they can get some consistency. I remember the year they became champions they had very good players but at the end of the year they lost a few of their players and that caused a bit of a trouble.

So long story short we are talking about Lille being good for sure, and could be second, but they are not "all set" right now, they need to be more consistent with how they play, look at the year they became champions and look at last year and look at now, that is wildly volatile just like crypto and they can't be like that, it would definitely hurt their chances, they look like a team that could be second or fifth to be fair, anything is possible.

lille managed to forget their defeat against PSG last time, they won with a good score, this victory lifted them to 4th position in the standings while Ajaccio had to settle for being in 18th place because they kept losing

- in another match, Auxerre managed to beat Strasbourg with a narrow 1-0 score, this added to Strasbourg's bad history (defeats) since this season started

Honestly I do not think that the problem is with Lille alone, PSG built a team that is soooo well designed and they are working on their chemistry issues as well which all combined with the fact that they are finally all healthy and played together for a whole year before, they became a team of unreal talent. Sure it looks like 7 goals is a lot and I am sure if they played again they wouldn't be this bad, but at the end of the day we are talking about PSG here and they are just unfairly good against anyone in that league, probably anyone in the world aside from like maybe 5 clubs. So losing to them is not a big deal.

They failed to stop Kylian Mbappé in the 5th second of the PSG match. They were demoralized by conceding an early goal and continued the rest of the match by playing bad football. Their team defense was also bad. But their unfortunate defeat was too much for Lille. I was a little disappointed watching the match.

Against Ajaccio, they took a 1-0 lead in the match with Yusuf Yazıcı's fantastic goal in the 17th minute of the match. Other goals were scored by Jonathan Bamba and Tiago Djalo. They are not as strong as the year they became champions. But they are taking firm steps towards becoming a better team compared to last year. I think they will push their luck to go to the European cups this year. Lille fans will also want to forget last year.

Lille tried to get up after the humiliating defeat, but indeed facing Ajaccio was actually not a tough job for Lille, the composition of the two teams is indeed much different if we look at the quality of the existing team and I think it is only natural for Lille to easily get 3 points in that match, but the interesting thing in that match is that even though Lille won they only recorded a few shooting opportunities, Lille managed to make 7 attempts with 4 shots on target, while Ajaccio was actually able to create more kicks i.e. around 14 kicks but only 2 on target, the final finishing was not good from Ajaccio forced them to suffer defeat in that match.

Lille have faster recovery and wake up after last weeks defeated by PSG 1-7 and last match success won from Ajaccio 1-3, I think not easy exactly for Lille after destroy by PSG with bigger score. Maybe still have trouble and disappointed result why getting loss with bigger score. But last match Lille wake up and get back winning from Ajaccio and got three points back to fourth standing position place awhile. Bad result again for Ajaccio because until fourth match still can't win and last great achievement when success take 1 points  against with Lens, last three match before always loss and make Ajaccio have in relegation standing position.

It is normal to think that everyone aims to give victory to PSG and/or Real Madrid as happened last season, but you also have to take into account Bayern, and other teams that have become much stronger, also Liverpool, Despite the fact that at the beginning of the season some of these teams have started to lose time, it could be said that many are waiting for what may happen, for me it is difficult to predict that Real Madrid will win again, Barcelona is very good armed and they have gotten into tremendous debts for the team to get ahead, besides the other teams are very strong, I think the Germans could take it.

Lille did very well, but now I think that PSG is getting very strong, I don't think that right now any team in the French league will be able to compete with them, Neymar and Messi are very connected, apart from Mbappé connecting with Messi, despite the differences that exist in that team, Mbappé knows that he cannot compete with the high level of these two players who are teammates, for me if PSG continues like this they will win the French league much easier, however I do not think they have the same luck in the UCL, I see Bayern, Real Madrid very strong, despite the fact that they have sold players I see them as very stable, they are really candidates for the orejona for me.

Of the 4 shots on target, scoring three goals is a very good indicator. You do not forget that Lille played after a crushing defeat from PSG, after such matches it is difficult to show a good game, but Lille showed that they are all right. Ligue 1 matches are not always rich in goals, except that these are matches involving PSG. However, Lille manages to be in 4th place now with 10 goals forgiven, it looks like a matrix failure. 

Strong enough for what? If Lille aims at becoming second in the league they are all set. I guess any club behind PSG is just trying to qualify for the champions league and that's it. I don't expect PSG to run into any serious issues whatsoever.

It might turn out to be a pitfall for PSG if they don't have serious competitors. The way Lille lost the game against PSG doesn't really allow for any hope. We might see a change in the dominance when PSG needs to play all competitions simultaneously.

Down against Paris Saint Germain, but Lille was able to bounce back with a win when they travel to Ajaccio. The heavy defeat against Paris Saint Germain was because they could not anticipate every attack from Paris Saint Germain, and also at that time Paris Saint Germain was very effective in building attacks, I saw it was the best game from PSG at the beginning of this season.

Although Lille won, their performance is still not stable. Lille scored three goals. However, I would say their attack is not strong enough. Lille players made a total of 7 shots in this match, 4 of which were on target. Ajaccio's defense is so weak that Lille managed to score three goals in this match. Lille will need to play better if they want to qualify for the Champions League.

Nice is a very weak opponent for a team like Marseille. Nice has not won in three matches yet. Only two goals were scored. Nice players will want a draw against Marseille. But Marseille is in very good form now, they will want to get 3 points in this match by any means.

I want to disagree on one thing , it is not right to say that Nicolas pepe did not perform well in Arsenal or he underperformed. Arsenal was not in good form when Pepe was at his peak, so he is not to be blamed. Currently we have good players in Arsenal, Pepe might not find his shadow under Gabriel Jesus, Saka and Zinchenko. The loan to Nice is a beautiful one for him, he will do well there and possibly return to Arsenal to reclaim his position.

I saw only one match available today between Auxerre vs Strasbourg and compare to their recent performance apparently Auxerre was better especially last week that they had showed impressive performance while against Montpellier because they can flipped the score and won the match and i realized Strasbourg is the favourite in this match because of Auxerre status as promotion team but i think they have potention to surprised us but for bet option i am thinking to bet both teams to score because since first match whether it Auxerre or Strasbourg quite productive always scoring goals for each matches

It was an easy prediction for Lille, even though in the previous match Lille lost heavily by PSG but still the quality of Ajaccio and Lille is very different which is clearly Lille is still the best. At least I didn't miss the moment to take advantage of betting for Lille @2.41 win, and for tomorrow's match maybe Nice v Marseille which seems quite difficult to choose the winning team. But because in the previous three matches Nice have not won, and in head to head considerations it looks at least Marseille is still the best. So I think I'm pretty sure Marseille can win the match or at least a draw might be a good result for the home team.

And that was easily done by Lillie last night score ended three to one
Won first half by two goals but the pressure came from Ajaxcio after the break
They should have kept clean that is the shot stopper but the home side added one
Two wins and Lossing once to PSG
