Monaco won their eighth straight victory in the Ligue 1 by the victory against Lille by 2-1. It was hell of a match though but Monaco still found a way to defeat them. I was a little doubtful about the victory after seeing that Lille started the match strongly and maintained it for a long time. And we are seeing Monaco in the second spot being just ahead of Marseille and Rennes. We will see how those two teams will answer Monaco's victory. But honestly, I would like to see Monaco achieving a good thing in this season.
Monaco is in very good form now. They are playing well in every match consistently. And they have won the last 8 matches. No other team in Ligue 1 has been able to perform consistently well like Monaco. And so perhaps Monaco will be able to secure second place at the table and qualify for the Champions League. Marseille's points are equal to Monaco's but their performance is now unstable.
Monaco has been playing really well and they are in the perfect form right now. They are in second place in the standings right now and is really good to hold their position but the problem is the team that is below them have played one match less than them. So they need to hope that Marseille loses one of the matches that they have left and Monaco needs to win both the matches that they have left.
In the last 5 matches, Monaco's performance has been more consistent than Marseille's, but it's Marseille, who hasn't played this week,
have a chance to reclaim second place from Monaco if Marseille can beat Lorient. Of course Marseille should be able to beat Lorient which is
a weak team and Lorient's performance has also been poor in the last few matches. The rivalry between Monaco and Marseille is likely to
last until the end of this season, but because Monaco's performance is indeed better than Marseille. Even Monaco managed to get 8 wins in a row,
so I predict Monaco will be in second place. Moreover, Marseille still have to face Rennes and Strasbourg in the last two matches, which I think
Marseille will drop points against those two teams. Because the two teams are strong teams that are in the top 5.
