Lyon played their missing game against Marseille a few days ago and won that one by 2-1 home. Lyon are still on a very good run as they have a three-win streak in the league right now. They have just got past Monaco in the standings and captured the seventh place in the standings. And in only two days, Monaco are going to be hosting Lyon. And Lyon have a really big dominance against them in their last four head-to-heads in the league. Lyon won all of them no matter away or home. But Monaco are one of the very tough teams to beat home this season. I think that they won't lose this time.
Both Monaco and Lyon have had good records at home this season but unfortunately, even though Lyon look to dominate head to head but so far this season Lyon have been worse when playing away. With this result, I think Monaco will be able to break the three consecutive wins that Lyon have made recently. But even so, a draw can still happen even though I am also aware, Monaco is the favorite team in this match.

Actually pochettino is a good coach, we can see his track record so far in building tottenham into a strong team the last few seasons, but unfortunately pochettino career in France is not as beautiful as in England, even though he managed to make PSG to be at the top of the Ligue 1 standings but Pochetinno has not been able to bring out the potential of the star squad that he has, I think Pochettino lack of experience to coach a big team so made him fail PSG.
Yesterday I read somewhere in the news that Pochettino himself spoke in a close circle (this is a kind of leak) that he was morally tired of working as a coach at PSG and would leave the club in the summer. I don't know how true these rumors are, but with PSG at the moment he has not achieved what (I think) the management expected - winning the Champions League. Perhaps this season is his last chance.

I have seen Poch when he was at Tottenham and now seeing him coach at PSG, and I’m beginning to wonder if he has what it takes to coach a big club, because such results are unacceptable and maybe he should consider managing a small club if he can’t handle managing big clubs. Furthermore his mind is already turned by the Manchester United job, but now I’m worried what if he’s another mistake and he’s not the right coach for the Manchester United.

I don't know about you or others but I can't really understand why people insist on betting on PSG when the odds are so bad, even against a good team and especially in a cup. By now we should all expect them to draw easily if not lose. There's a reason they've never been Champions League favorite even when they still had Mbappe Neymar Messi all together.
I don't just bet on PSG with low odds and as most of the time their games have low odds, I prefer to bet on the Asian market or under or over goals or corners, put on them to win is lose money because odds are low and they also tend to lose
Yeah that was my point, I see a lot of people betting on PSG/Real/City/Bayern 1x2 market and it doesn't make sense to me. 1.3 is even bad in my view but the odds are usually 1.1 or 1.2. Sounds like such a risk for so little. And the proof is provided so often by PSG that they have been winning so many games from behind and late. That's going to fail them sooner or later. And it already has.
Or maybe a lot of people are just saying they are but not actually betting, who knows.

PSG got a really disappointing result two days ago in the Coupe de France. They lost their last 16 match against Nice by 6-5 by the penalty shoot-outs in Parc des Princes. They said goodbye to the tournament very early and this must be really worrying for them. Pochettino is already criticized and this incident has made things worse for him now. PSG would become the champions in the Ligue 1 easily but they should focus on the Champions League the most. It is their biggest chance to win in the end.
Although the Coupe de France has not been PSG's priority this season, it is still disappointing for PSG supporters, especially in that match PSG
did not manage to score a single goal. Even though Messi played from the start of the game, it seems that Messi's performance is still very far
from the expectations of many people. After that PSG was defeated on penalties, even though PSG had Donnarumma, but Donnarumma could not
make a good contribution. This means that PSG with a very strong squad does not guarantee to win easily. Pochettino has indeed become
the center of attention after the poor form of PSG, because Pochettino is considered to have failed to take advantage of PSG's star players.
Pochettino must be able to make PSG win the Champions League trophy this season if indeed next season he still wants to be PSG coach.

Completed position team with Lionel Messi as first minutes played I think very early for PSG why have elimination from Coupe de France because Nice is not really have completed and top player on their composition, Looks more solid defender of Nice where they can success defeat Lionel Messi have many attempt on this game before extended with penalty kick. Xavi Simons is not lucky because he has been the last player take penalty kick and failed where make Nice pass to quarter final. This season PSG have miss one trophy and I think not pessimist for PSG keep get any trophies again with not consistent performance.

PSG - Nice today will fight for reaching the quarter-finals of the French Cup. The game will be held in Paris and at the moment the quotes for the result of the game are as follows:
1.48 - 4.5 - 6.5
It seems to me that you can safely bet on PSG, since it is extremely unlikely that they will miss the victory at home. 1.48 is a very good odds. It seems to me that if it was a championship game and not a cup, then the odds would be lower.
I see that closer to the match, the odds for PSG has become a little higher and now it is 1.53. In any case, the odds is very good, can consider this option for a bet. Nice this season has already managed to take points from PSG, by the way in Paris. Well, Nice in the championship takes second place after PSG, that is it is currently a pretty strong team, but it will not be easy for any team to play with PSG.1.48 - 4.5 - 6.5
It seems to me that you can safely bet on PSG, since it is extremely unlikely that they will miss the victory at home. 1.48 is a very good odds. It seems to me that if it was a championship game and not a cup, then the odds would be lower.
As the result showed, such an attractive odds had a rationale - PSG played better, but not enough to translate this advantage into goals. The penalty shoot-out was also surprising - it turned out to be quite long, usually the teams manage to solve everything in the first 10 shots. I would like to know how many betters guessed the correct outcome of the match (a draw and even without goals) - with such powerful team lineups, it was not obvious at all.

I don't just bet on PSG with low odds and as most of the time their games have low odds, I prefer to bet on the Asian market or under or over goals or corners, put on them to win is lose money because odds are low and they also tend to lose
If you miss out on every single PSG game just because they have low odds, then you are missing a great martingale strategy. Imagine the fact that you wager on PSG with 100 dollars, and the odds are 1.4, so you should be getting 140 dollars right? In that game they managed to fail to win, so you lost 100 dollars.So next game, they have like 1.3 odds, and you want to recoup the previous loss, you wager 300 this time around, and you get that 100 dollars back. You fail that? You could wager on a 1.4 again, with 1000 dollars and you would get 400 dollars back. I know it goes up higher and higher and I usually gamble with very low numbers so when I want to increase it, imagine 10 dollars instead of 100 and you have 90% cheaper version. It really works, how many games have you seen PSG not win back to back?

Now Lyon is going to face Monaco in next match which is also very important for them because this can give them some better confidence and higher rank with this they can do some better for staying into European connection and have good end in this league table with this defeat now Marseille need some good effort for having second spot as Nice is also doing very good.
Marseille is certainly not safe enough to be in the last position to qualify for the Champions League next season considering that several other teams still have the same chance to make them eliminated from third position. Lyon are one of the strong teams that are currently struggling to keep getting points by maintaining their good form. Strasbourg will also continue to put pressure on Marseille as they are only 5 points away, it will be very tight for the last place in the table as these teams also want to qualify for the Champions League next season.So far only PSG are still safe enough to lead the standings by a large point difference with Nice. PSG has so far only experienced 1 defeat and 5 draws in 22 matches and won 16 other matches. Of course it's been an extraordinary season for them, but after all the Champions League is PSG's most important target this season before losing more players next season.

Lyon 2-1 Marseille
Lyon had a great win against Marseille. Lyon moved up from 12th to seventh place in the points table with this victory. But in this match I expected a win from Marseille. If Marseille had won this match, they would have been able to overtake Nice and take second place in the table. Marseille were ahead though in the first half of the match. But Lyon equalized in the 76th minute. And Moussa Dembele scored in the 89th minute to give Lyon a 2-1 victory.
A pretty good comeback and a painful defeat for Marseille because indeed they lost in the last minute after they took the lead with a quick goal.Lyon had a great win against Marseille.

But Lyon equalized in the 76th minute. And Moussa Dembele scored in the 89th minute to give Lyon a 2-1 victory.
The strategy that Marseille applied in this match I think was a mistake, applying a 4-3-3 formation with a defensive strategy is quite good but on the other hand they are very difficult to secure the midfield because they are too focused on defense which causes the Lyon players to be free there.
Nice greatly benefited from this Marseille defeat and of course the most favored is PSG because they are definitely difficult to catch

I think it doesn't matter how well plays each other team except PSG,they are leading by 11 points already and that means judging we are already in February it would take a miracle for them to lose Ligue 1 this year.Ligue 1 is not interesting for who is going to win this because we already knew that even before the Championship started,what is interesting is the other teams which team will play enough beautiful and effective football to be able to participate in the Champions League next year.
Bookmaker quotes for clubs to win in Ligue 1:
Paris Saint Germain 1.00 <- LOL
Nice 62.00
Olympique Marseille 62.00
https://stake.com/sports/outright/soccer/france/ligue-1/41988454-ligue-1-21-22
The bookies don't want to give even one percent of the profit to those who bet on PSG and give them money until the end of the championship.
As for the Champions League, it is true that this season, due to the decline of the favorites, many clubs got a chance to get a ticket there. But this can lead to bad consequences - newcomers can perform poorly and France will lose points that affect the number of tickets to European competitions.

after having fight in Lyon dressing room, after a match in the season beginning, Marcelo was suspended, and benched for a half season
now, he is going to Bordeaux, which is a good addition to their team, hopefully he will play well
agree, in France, everything depends on PSG, if they play well, that is it, all the others do not have a chance to win title

Lyon is getting 3 wins in a row now and it seems, Xherdan Shaqiri is really contributing well to Lyon. Making goals and providing assists until Lyon finally turned things around, because honestly it was a result that Lyon almost got to lose and draw was the best result. But in the end Xherdan Shaqiri was able to change that and even though Moussa Dembele came on as a substitute, Moussa Dembele was able to score the winner for Lyon near the end of the match.

Marseille played quite well. possession of the ball is also not the domination of Lyon. unfortunately, Marseille did not maximize their chances. there was only 1 shot on target and that was the goal at the start of the first half.Lyon performed better with 4 shots on target with 2 goals. although they almost lost as both goals came in the second half. even at the end of the second half.
if you look at the performance of both teams, they are in good shape. it was an energy-consuming fight. Lyon has great motivation to jump into the top 3 of the standings.

I really regret the defeat of Marseille in this match, even though this match is one of their bridges to be at the top of the standings under PSG, it looks like the atmosphere of the match is very different in this match because Lyon played at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, the final statistics of the match showed that Lyon played very pressing 12 attempted shots and 4 shots on goal. Meanwhile, Marseille as the underdog team in this match only made 9 attempted shots and 1 shot on goal.
