Lille, Lyon, Monaco, and PSG all scored 3 points in their last match. It is not possible to predict now which team will win the title this season. The top four teams in the points table have equal chances to win the title. However, Lille and Lyon seem to be very stable this season. On the other hand, PSG has a bunch of talented players.  

All of these teams have had impressive statistics recently. Especially Lille have been winning for 5 matches and Monaco have been winning for 6 matches. For 8 seasons, PSG dominated the league with 7 championships and Monaco became the champions once. So, it wouldn't be bad to see a different team being the champions this time.
I also don't want to see PSG as the champion of this season. I'm annoyed to see PSG take the title every season. Lille and Lyon are playing very well this season. I think they will be able to win the title if they can continue such good performances. But it is very difficult to hold on to such a great performance till the end of the season.

@Iranus no one wants to see PSG win the title this year, and since Pochettino has yet not won a title this may be a golden opportunity for all other teams to keep the pressure up and ultimately prevail over PSG.

Furthermore Neymar is injured and his absence could hurt them, however it’s yet not known for how long will he be out injured.

I think PSG won't have so much difficulty and continue to win.

The score stayed like that. Payet got a red card at the 90 minute.
Also to note is that Canal+ has bought back the TV rights for the Ligue 1&2 from Mediapro who had stopped paying, for this season, pending a new tendering process for next seasons. Canal+ basically paid what they wanted to pay all along, about €650 millions, while Mediapro promised almost double that, but could never pay it.
The times of the pandemic affect all financial aspects of world professional sports and football in particular, from the amount of transfers, contracts with players and ending with television rights, which already occupy a significant part of the budget of football clubs, especially given the rules of financial fair play , the implementation of which is closely monitored by UEFA. Now it is much more problematic to plug the holes in the football club's budget with financial injections of Arab sheikhs.

Marseille ? - ? Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain are 6 points off the league table in the 3rd position with Lille being the league leaders with 54 points. A win for Paris Saint-Germain takes then 2nd, 3 point behind leaders; its a compulsory victory for Pochetino and his players. Can they get a victory away at Marseille ?

PSG are leading 2-0 right now and there are about 13 minutes left for 90 minutes to end. In the game Neymar started in the subs (he has been in the game since the 65th minute), Mbappe and Icardi scored the goals. I can't say both teams have a very nice performance. But it looks like PSG will manage to be the winner. If it ends like this, PSG will increase their points to 51 and maintain the 3rd position.

Very correct; First place Lillle is only 6 points ahead of 4th place Monaco; while Lyon in second is 2 points from top place. The season seem very different; with several team battling it out for PSG for who will be the league winner. I am tipping Lille to get the league title come May

Lyon are going to play a home game against Strasbourg this weekend. Lyon are the 2nd with 49 points and Strasbourg are the 15th with 25 points. Lyon lost only once in their last 5 games (3W 1D 1L) and they won their last 3 games. Strasbourg got 2 wins in their last 5 games (2W 2D 1L) and they haven't get a win for 3 matches. Lyon have a very nice form in home games (7W 3D 1L) too. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Lyon won 2 times, Strasbourg won once and 2 games ended in a draw.

Missing player(s) at Lyon: Jason Denayer (1 goal)
Missing player(s) at Strasbourg: Mohamed Simakan (1 goal)

I think this will be an easy game for Lyon and they will manage to beat Strasbourg too.

Lyon will have a tougher job in Dijon, since they like to play draws, and will probably try to pass another one today

It is true that Dijon are one of the teams that have so many draws in Ligue 1. They have got 9 draws so far. They got 6 of it in their home matches. But they also don't have any victories home and they had 5 losses in those games. Considering Lyon's nice statistics in away games which they got 6 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss I think Lyon will succeed in winning the match in some way.
Currently 85th minute and Lyon leading by one goal mean now they are not losing game in other big matches Monaco, PSG also leading Lille already won mean now we have 4 way race in Ligue 1 for title which is very interesting because PSG with very heavy squad fighting hard for title give other teams fair chance Marseille struggling badly and giving good points to opponents in current situation they are out of top 4 for this season.

Pochettino is lucky because even though a number of main players cannot be played, PSG have easy opponents like Nimes, no wonder if PSG can win this match even in the first half they have led by a score of 2-0. There are still many tough opponents in the next match and it looks like maybe it will make it difficult for Pochettino to overcome the situation, PSG is a big team and of course there will be a lot of pressure until later playing in CL.

PSG got a huge defeat against a surprise team like Lorient and I think they will absolutely want to make up for that loss in their next game against Nimes. Neymar who scored 2 goals in the last game will not play because of being suspended. Keylor Navas still has an injury and he might not play too. I think this time PSG won't make any mistake and defeat their weak competitor easily.
I also think that the victory will be easy, but the coefficient for PSG in this fight is so small that it should not even be considered for a bet. You can try to play on the number of goals scored, PSG loves to score goals, although this was before Pochettino, how it will be now still need to be seen. But Pochettino is obliged to become a champion this season, the club and the guidance are very ambitious, I think they won't forgive the new coach for another result.

two matches from bottom and top teams in France today, Lyon playing in Dijon, and PSG home match with Nimes

Lyon will have a tougher job in Dijon, since they like to play draws, and will probably try to pass another one today, and PSG should win tonight, but I do not expect much goals in that match, since they will play without some notable players, Neymar included

nevertheless, most interesting should be in Bordeaux, where Lille will try to win and hold on their top position in the Ligue 1, and it is a good value, since Lille won last four away matches, have a good strike and play solid football in 2021, will put them on my ticket

Rennes are going to play a home game against Lorient tomorrow night. Rennes are the 5th with 36 points and Lorient are the 18th with 18 points. Rennes lost only once (2W 2D 1L) in their last 5 games and Lorient won their last 2 games in the league. Lorient got only one win in their away games so far (1W 2D 7L). In the last 5 (official) head-to-head games, Rennes won 3 times, Lorient won once and one game ended in a draw. At Rennes, Flavien Tait and M'Baye Niang (1 goal) are injured. At Lorient, the main goalkeeper Paul Nardi, Thomas Fontaine, Vincent Le Goff, Boisgard Quentin (1 goal) and Stephane Diarra are injured. Lorient got a surprising win against PSG in their last game but I think they won't do the same against Rennes. I expect Rennes to beat them.

Teams like Lorient can't usually do the same thing consecutively. We can give an example for it. E.g. In the Premier League, Sheffield defeated Manchester Utd 2-1 away and surprised everyone. But they lost to a big team which was Manchester City right after that. Rennes are one of the powerful teams now. I think they will do the same thing as M. City did and defeat Lorient. By the way, of course this is football and everything is possible. But I don't give a chance to Lorient to win this match too.

Guys, that's the beauty of football ! If the best team on paper always won, it would be very boring. And betting would also not be possible !
Teams on paper usually only get low odds so that's what gets bored, so when the team on paper plays then I usually look for other options that will at least get higher odds. So, when the team on paper wins, my bet can still lose and it won't be boring I think but yeah, when the team on paper loses then of course it will be hot news.
PSG is one of the best team in Europe and what we blame in French league 1 is the lack of competition. Until now Lyon and Lille are making things harder for PSG which is good.
This round best goal is Dubois one, magnificent!
