Take a look at my merits, It's lucky number
But recently i have checked about squad update for both teams that i have seen apparently Lille is in the unfavorable situation because they lost at least 7 players who got the injury or suspension so these conditions makes me doubt Lille will be able to win this match because losing those players certainly will have an effect to Lille performance today so that's why after seeing these factor probably Lyon can being an the winner of this match and Lyon win has odds @3.10

It all doesn't matter as long as the injured players are not key players owned by Lille, the match between Lille & Lyon has been going on for more than 20 minutes & currently Lille is leading the match with one goal scored by Jonathan David. I think it won't be long before we see another goal from Lille before the first half ends, I've no doubt that Lille will get 3 points in this match. Let's see what happens at the end of the match.

I don't know why people feel PSG is a strong team, is it because they are the best in Ligue 1. I don't see their performance improving, to me they're stagnant because there's no prove that they're improving like what people always say. PSG always win their league either with a weak coach or an average coach, but they cannot win UCL. This makes no difference, it's until they have won UCL, is when I will believe that they have improved.

Some may admire PSG's performance in the French league. But, you're right. They are not a strong team in European competition. It must stress that a different measure of the team's strength may exist in any personalities. A higher standard for measuring a team's strength is fine. But, you can't force others to follow it. Some call PSG a strong team due to their expensive players. This is nonsense. But, I believe this kind of people exists that uses finances to measure a club's strength.
I think it's no secret that PSG have been the rulers of Ligue 1 since they were acquired by Al Khelaifi in 2011, the financial increase has propelled them to become the richest team that has been able to dominate Ligue 1 to date, but their improvement and prowess in the league is inversely proportional to what we have seen in the Champions League so far, the number of star players they recruited but it did not increase their chances of being able to win the Champions League, their mentality in my opinion is very small when it comes to dealing with other European teams and obviously it is the result of competition that is too easy for them in the league so far, so indirectly it actually forms their low mentality when competing in very competitive competitions such as the Champions League, although previously PSG has shown some signs of improvement, like reaching the Champions League final in 2020 and the semi-finals in 2021, but we can't say that they were a formidable team before they won the Champions League trophy to really prove their as a big team in Europe today.

But we already have proof of how financially strong a club PSG is. No other club dared to do so but PSG showed the courage to sign Neymar Mbappe and Messi at the same time they brought many other players to PSG including the best defender at the time Sergio Ramos. They are still a strong enough club financially but they are not investing money in the wrong places right now. A player who has contributed or could contribute to their club is a player they have kept at the club but they have sold. Although their current team does not have any notable stars in the team, this team is doing very well in the local league, but we do not see a very good performance from this team in the Champions League. However, if Luis Enrique can take some players as planned in the next season, then PSG will perform very well in the Champions League.
PSG without a star player will still have the same results as if there is a star pkayee in their midst. When the three best players was in PSG, there was no special performance from the team in UCL, and this is the reason why I feel that the club performance is stagnant despite winning their domestic league every season. PSG needs to start performing very well in UCL like City and Real Madrid, so that they can have the chance to win UCL.

BTW, I also bet on the Monaco vs Angers match and I chose the BTTS option because I believe that even though Angers is only a promoted team this season, this team can always provide resistance to every popular team.


Your bet seems to be almost successful because Angers are currently leading 0-1 over the home team. You are just waiting for AS Monaco to score at least 1 equalizer. However, I see Monaco struggling to create chances, so far they have only had 6 shots and 1 on target. However, there is still enough time for them to catch up as long as they change their strategy which is currently not very effective. I think there needs to be another player brought on to change the course of the match.

Your thinking is right, Angers did not dominate the match but they were able to score first and now they are leading 0-1 from Monaco who dominated the match.
Initially, I was quite doubtful that Angers could make a fight for Monaco, but they appeared quite disciplined. their defense read Monaco's attacks well and especially the goalkeeper's performance was quite good.
Hopefully, Monaco can score and you will win your bet.

Because the power of money dominates so as long as PSG has the same resources as today then indirectly their dominance will still continue because regardless of the situation it is difficult to change because to create competition there must be equality and for ligue 1 it is difficult to happen because PSG is too far away in terms of value and their resources that make it difficult for other clubs to catch up.
In Ligue 1, only PSG has good financial strength so they are able to build on their glory. PSG is the only most expensive club in Ligue 1, so it is clear that they can dominate the competition because the squad depth is much better than all other clubs in Ligue 1. The gap in total market value between other teams and PSG in Ligue 1 is very large, so it's natural that PSG can really dominate Ligue 1 in the long term.

I don't think there should be equality in this case, but PSG is required to always adhere to financial fair play in managing its cash flow. Other teams must find ways to provide the best competition, including getting bigger sponsors and investors who are ready to finance the club's needs throughout the season. In this modern era, football has become a rich person's business, but there are still many clubs that have not received generous investors.

Although for this season there are Marseille and Monaco who are still quite good in the chase in the standings but in the end the situation is not too different because PSG is still at the top and other clubs are just following from below.
This season PSG's transition is actually happening especially with the overhaul in recent seasons after Enrique tried to eliminate the Ligue 1 version of galacticos this could actually be worrying, but until now PSG is still quite good for Ligue 1.
It is difficult for any team to stop PSG in their attempt to defend the title, but PSG can still be stopped if the rival team can take advantage of PSG's poor performance in one or several matches. But unfortunately, there aren't many other teams who can take advantage of that, so they will still let PSG take the lead.

Lille is onfire because in the last 7 matches in all competitions they still unbeated and from those matches they can gets 5 wins and one of them is from Real Madrid and the performance of their opponent Lyon is still unstable because after gets the winning result from Le Havre several weeks ago then Lyon lost from Besiktas at Europa league and they also only playing draw from weak team Auxerre

But recently i have checked about squad update for both teams that i have seen apparently Lille is in the unfavorable situation because they lost at least 7 players who got the injury or suspension so these conditions makes me doubt Lille will be able to win this match because losing those players certainly will have an effect to Lille performance today so that's why after seeing these factor probably Lyon can being an the winner of this match and Lyon win has odds @3.10

Lille defeated Atletico in the Champions League... I think that today they will also win in Ligue 1, although Lyon are also strong... I can't say who will be stronger today, but I think both teams will score and there will probably be yellow cards... In the standings the teams are not very different...

Honestly, Lille is in great form recently, and anyone is aware of that. Lille is on fire; even someone who has not been watching their matches in Ligue 1 can see that Lille's performance in the Champions League is good evidence of their excellent form. So, in today's game, I will also consider Lille to be the favorite team to win based on their current form. Moreover, it's their home game, and it has been noticed that almost every team puts in more effort when playing at home. Considering these factors, I believe they will have a good performance.

However, the truth is that Lyon is not a small team, and their performance is not bad either. Even if Lille wins, the match will not be easy for them, as Lyon has always been a great opponent for Lille whenever they meet. Looking at their head-to-head games, both teams have strong records against each other.

Monaco vs Angers
LOSC vs Lyon
PSG vs Lens

These are 3 match at the beginning of this month which are also matches for week 10 of Ligue 1 and we all know that Monaco, LOSC and PSG are the favorites because Monaco only plays against Angers which is lower team and LOSC and PSG each have the advantage of playing at home even though their opponents cannot be underestimated.
Bookies give all three as favorites but I see the LOSC vs Lyon match as the most interesting because the bookies give really big odds for both of them @2.18 for LOSC and @3.15 for Lyon which are currently ranked 4th and 7th.

Good bet and the risk taken is quite heavy in the Lille vs Lyon match, both often play with high tension even though Lille is currently above Lyon, in my opinion it cannot be used as a reference that Lille will beat Lyon, their last meeting also Lyon won the match very fiercely which ended with Lyon's victory 3-4 and this shows that the odds are not real and in my opinion you believe too much in the odds given by Lille without checking the current conditions of both of them.

Indeed, in the last two matches Lyon experienced bad things, losing and drawing while Lille was quite good, but if we look back they have a very profitable Lyon h2h and the results are almost always a draw and in my opinion this match is quite difficult if you bet on 1x2 and in my opinion this match will end, it is better to avoid the risk of losing.
I am watching both teams as best teams and both teams are good competitors and no team will be at in this match easily. That match will be tough match for both teams but we are excited to see the match because both teams are in good form but LOSC Lille is favorite because present team is giving all energy to  win this match which make them unique as comparison to other teams. LOSC Lille won 4 matches out of 5 matches and they lost no match and 1 match was draw . The head to head record is in the favour of  Lyon team because they won 3 matches out of 5 and lose 1 match and 1 match was draw. Best of luck for both teams because we will enjoy as much we can

I agree with you that Lille is not a weak team at the moment and this team has a better defense than Lyon. But even so, it does not mean that Lyon cannot provide resistance because Lyon is actually one of the teams that can score a lot in 9 matches. So at least Lyon can still provide resistance of at least 1 score.

Yeah Lille and Lyon show good performance lately so we cannot underestimate one of them, indeed Lille is in a better position and also has the advantage as a home team but Lyon has the ability and motivation when playing away we can see this from some of their away matches yeah they haven't lost in the last 4 away matches and this is one of the reasons why I think they will draw. About goal, I agree with you both teams might score each other whether it's 2 goals or 4 goals so both teams to score in interesting bet.

For other matches between Monaco vs Angers I don't know if this will be an interesting match because in my opinion this is a match between a strong team vs weak team and honestly I doubt if Angers can score one goal because Monaco has a good defense, but yeah I hope that luck is in your bets and anything can happen in a match.

[...] The problems both teams have in their defenses from time to time increase the chances of mutual goals in this match. For this reason, I think that both teams will score goals and it will be a competitive match. Considering the playing styles of both teams, Lille is one step ahead, but it is difficult to choose a favorite in such matches.

I disagree with you who said both teams have problems in defense, of these two teams, only Lyon has problems in defense, we can see it from the total goals conceded by both teams. Lille has 8, the same number as Paris Saint-Germain. Lyon has more, so far they have conceded 14 goals. So, there's no shadow that Lille will concede many goals in their upcoming match. My prediction is Lille will win by 2 goals in this match & also BTTS.

Of course Lille are the favourites to face Lyon, aside from the fact that they are playing in front of their own fans, they are unbeaten in their last five Ligue 1 games, having won three and drawn two since losing to Saint-Etienne. In their last two UCL matches they also managed to achieve consecutive wins after defeating Spanish capital teams Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Lyon could only manage a draw when hosting Auxerre in Ligue 1 and previously they lost to Besiktas in the UEL. Lille will try to secure three points in this game to keep the gap with Marseille as both have 17 points.

PSG journey this season, especially in the Champions League, is quite unstable, even at first glance they look like they are having difficulties. Luckily in the first match against Girona, PSG managed to score a goal at the end of the match. Luis Enrique squad could not do much when facing Premier League representatives Arsenal, then they were also forced to draw by PSV. PSG steps to reach the last 16 seem increasingly difficult, where in my opinion Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City have the potential to make PSG lose points. Regarding PSG dominance in Ligue 1, there is no need to doubt it anymore, meaning they are too comfortable with the situation without getting significant pressure from their competitors. Nasser Al-Khelaifi seems to have to expand his patience to see PSG win the Champions League trophy, while pouring big money into rebuilding a star-studded squad.

After appearing several times in the PSG Champions League, it seemed like there were heavy obstacles and pressure for them, the game was quite normal but it was difficult to get points. In the next match, Nasser Al-Khelaifi must organize more strategies so that PSG can take points from Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City so they can be in the top 16 of the Champions League. The team's performance has been very good in League 1, they have no burden, the opportunity to win is wide open for PSG but not for the Champions.
PSG has been facing big challenges in the UCL every season, but I think with the change in the format of the UCL this season precisly PSG performance is much worse than the previous seasons, so far PSG has continued to bring many stars to its squad but they has forgotten that mentality is an important factor that a team must have if they want to compete and win the UCL so far,  and it's something that PSG hasn't had so far so it's quite natural if it's hard for them to win the UCL trophy, I think for now they need to improve their consistency, mentality and performance to cmpete with  strong other teams in the UCL , to be able to get a chance to qualify for the next round of course inevitably they have to win 3 points from the rest of the teams they will face later.
I don't want to talk about their chances and abilities in ligue 1 , because it is undeniable that they are the only team that dominates in Ligue 1 and it is difficult for other teams to can break their dominance.

It would take a while before another team claims dominance from PSG, they're the most dominant team for a decade or more and as one of the richest club in the world they've been able to fund some of the best players in the world to help them achieve success in their domestic league, other teams in Ligue 1 can't afford that they'll have to develop their players and try to challenge for a better spot in the league. Well, sometimes it not always about the squad but general team performance and in recent times most teams are beginning to give PSG a tough challenge compared to the previous years when they used to win the league in weeks before the end of the league. However PSG's dominance would continue to reign until another team gains financial strength compared to theirs to be able to purchase top players.
Because the power of money dominates so as long as PSG has the same resources as today then indirectly their dominance will still continue because regardless of the situation it is difficult to change because to create competition there must be equality and for ligue 1 it is difficult to happen because PSG is too far away in terms of value and their resources that make it difficult for other clubs to catch up.

Talking about the money they send for their teams in the French League, I think everything is clear and there is not a team in this league they can spend money on like PSG and that's why we see much better palyers and coaches working for this team. However, money won't be enough for any team but other teams like Marseille and Monaco should spend much more money and hire better palyers to have a closer race with PSG.
Right now there is only 3 three-point gap between Monaco and PSG but still, I think Mona doesn't have enough power to take the first place of the table.
This is probably the reason why everything in the French Ligue1 seems to be revolving around PSG and may remain the same if the status quo doesn't change. PSG are dominating the league due to their financial status which enables them get the best players from any part of the world and the best coaches because they can afford them, yet that cannot be said about teams like Rennes, Lens, Lille, and the rest of them who could barely afford a player that is valued at 80 million Euros and above and in a situation where any good player emerges in any of these smaller teams in France then it is PSG who are still going to be the prospective buyers and that's why they keep dominating the league continually.

It makes sense, indeed so far, PSG's dominance this month is not as tight and big as previous seasons. At least if we look at the number of points, Monaco can compete with it. and if we look at the goals, the players from Marseille can also compete with it. Fortunately, PSG still remains in the first standing. But this makes the French Ligue 1 even more interesting, which hopefully will not be as boring as previous seasons.

And for the competition with Marseille, which has recently been quite popular, PSG with Enrique is still above Marseille.


Marseille would have had a chance to draw the game if they didn't receive that red card very early in the game. You can't be 1 man down against PSG and still expect to win by attacking man to man against PSG. Marseille are 3rd on the table and have been very good this season but alot still need to be done to challenge for the title. They could have drawn that game but I won't say they would have been able the win it. PSG are still stronger than them and even with 11 players on the field, they still won't have won. Look at the statistics from the game, Marseille couldn't even hold possession as everything was controlled by PSG and I'm surprised that more goals weren't scored.
