You indicated a good thing that PSG don't have much competition in their league now. Because none of their opponents in the Ligue 1 has a squad quality even near PSG's. It is important for a team to face challenging teams to see their weak spots and try to find a permanent solution for them. But PSG are able to beat any team whenever they want so it must be feeling more difficult to compete against the biggest teams of the Champions League. But I think that Pochettino's coaching also is not that good now. Zidane might be way better for them.

Well that's congrats for your bet, Marseille won a pretty goal difference, the second position is deserved for this club if look at today's match. St Etienne this time also played nice but the opponent is very far away in terms of ranking and performance as well. There's another game still going on Lyon - Angers, Angers are pretty solid when it comes to away opportunities which have been well utilized so far, I hope you don't make a bet for Lyon.

Marseille played very well in this match they were able to come back after being 1 goal down in the early minutes of the first half and scored 4 goals at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half. St Etienne are in the relegation zone in terms of quality. Marseille are far superior and I think they are the favorites to win this game and deserve a 4-2 win.
Marseille and Rennes are currently fighting for the 2nd place and they are only 3 points adrift, I think both teams will continue to maximize the game in the rest of the season not to make mistakes and take the win.

Marseille didn't make a simple mistake today and defeated St Etienne by 4-2 away. It was hell of a performance by them really. And they have captured the second position again from Rennes. Marseille are still the most likely team to finish the season at this position. By the way, Strasbourg are doing a wonderful job too. They beat Lens by 1-0 today and they are now one position ahead of Nice in the league table. They are the owner of the fourth position currently. Strasbourg are definitely one of the impressive teams of the season.

marseille did well against saint etienne, 2 penalty goals that marseille got was luck for them.  3 points have been in the hands of marseille and currently they are in second place in the standings with 56 points and rennes 53 points.

I don't think Marseille will end in a draw. I bet a lot on Marseille, Marseille will win this match. although now st Etienne are winning 1-0 but this advantage will not last long. I'm sure Marseille will reverse the lead.

These type of games will be difficult especially when st etienne team still has a chance to stay in the ligue 1 beating them will be difficult we all saw what happened yesterday lille team was enable to beat a 10 men team bordeaux despite all the chances they had i think if marseille win it will be with a small difference.

Wow, it looks like Bordeaux have a good defense, but somehow it happened after they no longer have any hope of staying in Ligue 1 next season. Lille is fully attacking and also, getting the advantage in player numbers is still not enough for Lille to get full points. It's a shame, because it's a very big chance for Lille to get into the euro zone, playing at home against a team that is bottom of the table and also, against only 10 players from the first half is still not enough to make Lille lucky, it's a shame.

Marseille has to seize this opportunity, their opponent is one of the weakest teams in the league and it will be easy to win this match. Rennes drew in their last match and lost a very important point. Now Marseille has a great chance to take the lead and can finish this season in the top 2 teams.
They should definitely not miss this opportunity

You can stay in the safe zone only if you bet on the victory of Marseille. Saint Etienne is a weak team. Those are now very close to the relegation zone. Saint Etienne lost the last two matches against Marseille. However, the match is less likely to be a draw, Marseille must play carefully to win. . Etienne has shared points in their last two Matchs against Troyes and Lille. So if Marseille does not play carefully, maybe Marseille will lose 2 points in this match.

there's still a possibility for Marseille to grow up to 2nd position because have the same points as Rennes, and Marseille still 1 have played yet. But Nice should maintain his score until the finish, somehow they are careless, The opponent will be easy to make it a draw. the host was really overwhelmed, Rennes have 60% of the ball position and 4 shots on goal, Nice have lucky didn't lose.

I was initially expecting Rennes to win against Nice yesterday. They had what it takes to achieve 3 points from the game. But, Nice played quite well, and equalized the score 11 minutes after Rennes scored. Although, it didn't change their stand on the table, but they now have a total of 51 points.
While, Montpelier is not a team Marseille can probably beat easily. But despite that, Marseille still remain the favorite. And if they fail to win the game, they won't basically be able to regain their position back from Rennes.

Marseille had good opportunity to taking over second places from Rennes because they will facing weak team St Etienne and although St Etienne home records matches was good but it won't be enough for them to beat Marseille and also from head to heads records between them showing Marseille had good results than St Etienne and for bet option i think Marseille win seems good choice and i wish they will playing according to my prediction

You are indicating a good thing there. Zinedine Zidane worked with Cristiano Ronaldo for many years but didn't do it with Messi. And they are different types of players so I'm also curious about if they can have a good relationship with each other. But there is another thing that is possible to be seen next season. We might see Ronaldo at PSG maybe and then Zidane would definitely be more eager to join them. It would be very good for PSG strategically to sign both of them. But it is early to talk about that too.

Since it is likely that PSG will be in first place until the end of the season, what is interesting is the competition for second place. Because the team
that made it into second place will play in the Champions League, then there are 3 teams that may have the opportunity  to be in second position.
Of course, the biggest chance for second place is Marseille, which has 53 points and still has one game left. But even that if Marseille can play
consistently until the end of the season, other teams that have a chance to be in second place are Rennes and Nice. Which one just played and
the match ended in a draw, At least this is the best result for both teams. Because they both have almost the same strength, although in that
match Rennes dominated the match, the chances of both teams were almost the same.

So I think the draw was the best, although Rennes actually played more consistently and I think they can beat Nice. It turns out that Nice has
a high enough fighting spirit by successfully scoring a goal first, but unfortunately Rennes managed to equalize. Finally Nice and Rennes had
to settle for a point, now just waiting for the result of the match Saint-Etienne vs Marseille which was postponed due to bad weather problems.
As both teams desperately needed a win, with Saint-Etienne battling their way out of the relegation zone, while Marseille need a win to get away
from Rennes and Nice.

Actually this game will give OM the opportunity to get 3 points difference from Rennes and will help Strasbourg catch Nice.
Otherwise OM game vs St-Etienne was rescheduled tomorrow due to the bad weather and snow.

Zidane is talked about exactly because of this reason. I mean if that is not the best idea there is for them, then I do not know what is. He is a Frenchman, he is a manager, and he managed Real Madrid filled with superstars before, so he knows how to manage a club, and he won THREE ucl titles.

What more do you really want from a manager. Forget about messi or mbappe, give that guy 50 million a year if you have to and get him. Five years of him would result with more cups then they have won for the past 10 years. Oh, and offer him this insane transfer budget that they already have? I mean that is like playing a game in sandbox mode, Zidane would have a field day over any other team for sure.

Nice - Rennes game ended up with a score that was one of my predictions. I was feeling pretty sure about seeing a draw in this game firstly and it happened easily. Nice scored first and Rennes found the equalizer later on. This 1-1 draw didn't change anything for Nice but Rennes have gone up to the second position temporarily. Marseille still haven't played their game this week. And they have a tough game against Montpellier actually but I still wait for Marseille to win this game somehow.

The match between Nice and Rennes ended in a draw as expected. It is known that both teams want to finish the league at the top three, and accordingly they played a controlled game. The defeated would fall behind. The draw was enough for both teams. They closed this week without much damage. Marseille match postponed to tomorrow due to snowfall. If Marseille wins tomorrow, they will move back to second place. The fight for the second place in the league is quite contentious.

There is no doubt that Zidane is a good coach or even a better coach than Pochettino. But that does not mean that Pochettino is not a good coach but my problem with Pochettino is when you are expecting him to prove his worth he will be less careful about it. But as for Zidane he likes to take challenges and lift trophies.
If Zidane shows Inter to go and coach psg, I know many players in psg will not want to leave the club again. Every player will want to be coached by Zidane.
But if I may ask, what of Zidane ambition of coaching France national team?
