PSG will have solid task to win over Lens,
The first half ended goalless, so it's true it's another tough game for PSG. Pochettino has not played Mbappe since the first half and prefers Icardi, Di Maria and Messi up front but there have been no satisfactory results so far until the end of the first half. Playing without a goal in several games is something that should not be for PSG considering they have a luxurious team. Pochettino is starting to doubt, he must change his team's game strategy as soon as possible.

It's true what you said, but I don't think we can compare it from one home game to Lens against PSG. You can see their other matches, PSG won 2 - 1 and 4 - 1.
It would be an easy win for PSG today, we'll see in a moment

PSG will have solid task to win over Lens, but it will probably happen
nevertheless, it is not matter to final score, PSG is already 10 points up, and the difference will probably just rise until the season end
there is no Lille this season for them, they have it seriously from the beginning, and it the league like this, it is enough for a title

Marseille Vs Brest:2-0
Kick off is already underway and it looks like Marseille are continuing to initiate in their midfield and forwards at the moment, It looks like they have dominated throughout these 26 minutes.there are some pretty good opportunities that have been created by the marseille players but indeed they still haven't been able to maximize them.
on the other hand brest like not allowed to develop their game. they haven't even been able to make a single chance
This game ended in favour of the visitors.
After full control of the first 45 minutes by the host, I'm shocked by this response Brest portrayed.
They showed they needed this game,their coach has been doing good of late.
unexpectedly they managed to comeback with a fairly fast counterattack.
i think marseille are too busy attacking that they forget the defense area which is what causes them to be conceded with two fast counter attacks
I was quite amused, but I lost my money here.

but at home stadium Lens shows good performance and I won't be so sure in PSG's victory. besides PSG has a good gap - 12 points from 2nd place. while Neymar is out Messi and Mbappe could play more cautiously.

It's not a problem for PSG to beat Lens in my opinion, PSG have a very good trend lately even though they lost to Manchester City and drew against Nice.
While Lens has a trend that tends to be average, in the last 2 matches they only drew against Clermont and Angers and even lost 4 - 0 against Brest.

In my opinion, PSG have a tough fixture ahead as the competitor is going to be Lens. The match is tomorrow night and it is gonna be an away one for the PSG side. Lens were even at the second place in the league table but they went down a little to the fifth place after not getting satisfying results lately. Maybe they will search for a way to destroy PSG but the probability is low as I see it.

I completely agree, given that PSG's main competitors are in crisis, there is practically no point in watching this league. This is, on the one hand, the advantage of PSG (they can play in a relaxed mode in the domestic championship if there is a serious game ahead in the Champions League), but on the other hand, they experience a constant problem with motivation and in fact degrade without having constant strong rivals.
In just a few games we already know which club will come out as champion at the end of the season, now PSG have left their opponent quite far and we can say if it is impossible they can be overtaken even by marseille who is even currently in second place right now, ligue 1 competition only has 22 games left and currently PSG are 12 points clear of second place, so I think maybe PSG will be able to lock the champions before the last 10 Ligue 1 macthThe French league has never been interesting compared to other top championships, so I see no reason to grieve. By the way, given that Mbappe will leave the club next season (99.9%), Messi is old and not as useful as expected, and Neymar alone never represented anything serious, perhaps PSG will face big problems next season.

PSG will focus their resources for Ligue 1 first to try to complete it before tough matches in Champions League. They are doing this task very good and are leading in Ligue 1 with good difference than opponents.Winning Ligue 1 10 matches before final day is great but it is not what they aim for. They only need to have good difference in Ligue 1 in order to focus their resources for Champions League in important matches.

But seriously, Ligue 1 is over already. PSG is 12 points ahead of the second place even though they don't play good soccer in the Ligue, which is partially a shame. I have said that before but I think it is tough for all those superstars to motivate themselves to give their best in those games. This might be the little bit of focus that is missing when you have to play the biggest games under biggest pressure in the Champions League. For the top Premier League clubs they have a big game almost every single weekend. I guess that is an advantage to stay focussed.

Lorient vs Nantes 1-0
Monaco Vs Metz 1-1
Montpellier Vs Clermont foot:2-0
Reims Vs Angers 0-0
Nice Vs Strasbourg :2-1
Bordeaux Vs Lyon 1-2.
I did my analysis and then I stopped to think more if it would be worth taking the risk of placing bets for these games in this round or if I would combine some ligue 1 games with other games from other leagues, because for this round the bookmakers are offering @1,50 odds to the favorites as if they really were very strong and had a lot of chances to win when in fact in my opinion there are chances of many games ending in a draw. so I will see if I will make any bets on Ligue1 or if I will combine them with other leagues

and what you say is true, they will indeed be more relaxed in playing ligue 1 but on the other hand they will be too relaxed and relaxed because they have already played like this in the domestic league and are afraid that something like this will spread to the UCL league.

Lens were even at the second place in the league table but they went down a little to the fifth place after not getting satisfying results lately. Maybe they will search for a way to destroy PSG but the probability is low as I see it.

I assume that there were so many people who placed a bet on the PSG win for the game against Nice and lost. Because despite dominating the game, PSG couldn't prevent a 0-0 draw unfortunately. And they will try to make up for this point loss next time against Lens. Maybe Lens are a quite decent team now. But I don't think that they would capture any point in this game. PSG wouldn't make the same mistake again.
Nice is not a weak team. they're doing pretty well this season. but against PSG, of course, many dealers will provide a greater chance for PSG's victory. the results on the pitch are proof that Nice put in a good enough performance to hold off PSG.PSG's mistake in that game was poor finishing at every chance they got. 71% ball possession, 22 shots, but only 5 on target. how could this happen?
next match with Lens, which will likely yield the same result, or maybe even worse.
PSG's mistakes in the match against Nice will surely be studied by Lens. I hope PSG realizes his weakness.
