 A lot of Criticisms have been ongoing concerning PSG's performance well Criticisms to this PSG side is allowed because they’ve been so poor especially in European competition, like this is the champion of France League and yet they struggle against teams that aren’t champions in their league that probably didn’t even finish 2nd like is that not crazy.
 
 They’re a team that should be seen as not just favorites for the trophy but also a threat rather they’re seen as teams that even smaller teams could play around and steal points from. I don’t think Luis is the problem of this PSG sode but rather they should do an overhaul and proper investments in young future stars and that could just be the best hit for this team’s road to stardom.

Today is PSG's 14th match in Ligue 1, after the first 13 matches, PSG are at the number one position in the points table with 30 points. PSG are number one in the points table this season but it is not easy for them to retain the number one in the points table. At the beginning of the season we have seen PSG perform very poorly, as bad as PSG was at the beginning of the season if they continued to perform that badly this team might not be in the top 5 of the points table. Changed the tactics and changed the game due to which PSG managed to place themselves in a good position in the points table. Maybe PSG will get 3 more points in their next match in Ligue 1 because the team they play against is much more in PSG's strength than the team's strength.

That's what Enrique is most afraid of with PSG, being held to a draw by Dortmund. Although actually the easiest scenario for PSG is that Newcastle versus Milan ends in a draw. Automatically PSG may lose, may also win and may draw because they will be ahead by 1 point. But playing like that is quite risky, and relying on other matches is not a good idea, so I think the option of winning the match against Dortmund is the best for them.

Just like you and most people who have watched PSG progress in the UCL this season, of course they have big doubts about them. This is not the right moment for them to talk about the UCL trophy, it is better for them to focus on the group phase matches first. On the other hand, it needs to be emphasized that I am only trying to provide a theoretical overview of the attributes that PSG has to become a title challenger, not comparing the match history between the three clubs.

Really interesting match, but bad result for Lyon. After change head coaches, the Lyon team still had difficulty getting points. Maybe you are not the only one who doubts it, but maybe most people doubt Lyon will keep existing in Ligue 1 next season, considering that their performance has not improved yet. Especially, Lyon next match will be against Marseille, and the chances of winning in that match are very small.

Strasbourg is having some trouble and I think it was expected of them to lose this one out, plus Reims is decent team too. I think Ligue 1 is very different and weird in that way, every season the teams change a lot, and you do not know which one will be near the top and which one will not be. I think that's important because we are talking about a situation where every season at the start first you need to let a few weeks go by to see which teams will be better that season.

In other leagues you know who will be good eventually, even at preseason, only a few teams could shock you, like Girona at la liga, but it is not the whole league. However, here at ligue 1 we are talking about literally a bunch of tems and that's why it is going to be something that will be quite different when you are betting. Reims wasn't all that much known or liked or hyped, and yet when I see them now, I think they could win this, and they did win it, that's a shocker to me.

Strasbourg and Reim had a face off yesterday and they were completely a shadow of themselves. It's so appalling why a team can not confidently earn 3points fairly. Their attitude to the game is likely to cost them their place out of relegation. They decline weekly and there's no improvement in sight. If I'm to conclude, then they don't stand a chance out of relegation. The league is tougher than it seems and I don't think any team would want to give them that leisure of earning a loss.

 Strasbourg isn't a good time statistically so it's definitely hard to admit that they'd surprise the fans. The league is nearing its half and they really have to be proactive, even though they can't finish at a more reasonable standing, then they just have to escape relegation. Their negligence and sluggishness to taking right measures will cost them at the end or even before the end of the season and then they'd have to get demoted to a more lower league.

Full Time: Lens 3 vs 2 Lyon

Having taken the lead in the 15th minute through goal from Wesley Said, Lyon had to achieve less than good results against Lens and suffered their 8th defeat this season of 13 matches. Most tragic with Lyon's performance this season, from 13 matches they have  8 defeats, 4 draw and win 1 match only. I doubt with Lyon opportunity keep existing in Ligue 1 next season current most bottom place will make their position in Ligue 1 have questionable. Actually, Lyon managed to equalize with  score of 2-2 until the 72nd minute, but a goal from substitute player Przemyslaw Frankowski in the 74th minute made Lyon failed to get one point and had to suffer second defeat in a row after previously losing against Lille in the match last week.

With all due respect in terms of ranking of the top five leagues in the world the french league comes in fifth place, the league hasn't shown growth rather I think I'm the past the french league was a bigger league than what it is right now.
The only reason why players come to the french league is either due to an enticing salary or that was the only option they had, the league needs to pay attention to their academy, French national teams at all levels are a force ri reckon with although it doesn't resonate to their league and it's something the french FA should work on

Recently we have too much talk about French League quality which is not improving in last few years and now its matter of concern for the French League organizers as well because if they fail to bring improvement then surely things can go beyond their limits they need to improved quality which is possible just with huge investments, and it's not coming only PSG having best sources for the bringing top quality players and many other clubs even like Marseille and Monaco are not able to do things as they wanted we need competitiveness which is important for the having better results in Champions League.

Lens done good but still not as they needed and now PSG is also needing to give their best if they want to go into next round with now they have no chance for the going into top four because things are not as they need to play against cream of UEFA.

Ligue 1 is one of the most volatile leagues in European leagues with having many clubs which are doing good but never know when they are going down without any clue like we have in current season Lyon is at the bottom and then Strasbourg is also having good start but now suddenly they are bringing themselves down with their worst performance in last 10 games they are having just one win which is surely not acceptable.

I agreed about this most chances we will have them again in relegation zone as they are doing in every season and sometime having good luck for surviving but look like now things can go not favorable for them if they are not going to change their strategy and having better players and improved performance as well.

If you don't have to deny it, it's not to my liking, you have to recognize things when someone does them well, on a personal level I will always think that PSG won nothing last season because of the coach they had, it is Something analogous to how the team is right now. MU in the PL where they barely beat an Everton with low morale , even in Liguie 1 there is still a lot left, and with respect to Mbapé, I think he will not go to Madrid, Madrid is much more ambitious, they look for better players than him as he It is Haaland who gave a nod to Madrid that everything depends on them if they want it, so this is something that actually excites me, I know that Mbappé is a very good and Legendary player, he is one of the best in France, but he said no to Madrid, because he preferred to stay at PSG and that is something that Madfrid doesn't forgive, a Madridista has to say yes and from the heart, fame and money come into that club as long as it is best. Whatever, that was the opportunity of life that the Frenchman lost.

Now, considering the technique of Haaland and Mbappé, the Norwegian's Seems superior to me, since he is a player who starts from the most basic things, strength, good technique to hit the ball, that he can take out many players only have their trength, there's a reason they call him the Vinkingo, and well, that more than anything is that I would like to see Haaland rather than Mbappé himself, in fact I see Mbappé much better in Liverpool than in any other team, even in the same Arsenal, because he is a player who is more focused on that style of football, Madrid needs a matador, someone like Haaland, because the rest of the team do their job very well, they need someone to score, to remove defenses from above a Rodry and a Vinicius, so that they have more freedom on the three flanks, then I think that Haaland goes from the front and returns to all defense shattered, Pep makes him go to the Sides , but he has more potential for a more frontal and Rough game.


The big winner for this soccer match is Lens without a doubt, last season I had a lot of faith in Lens, I thought they could take first place in the entire Ligue 1, of all the teams, like Lille, Marseille that I saw them as very strong, Lens has more attitude, for me they are one of the best in the world, but I think the Bears have to do their best for Lens, they are much better prepared, and although Ligue 1 may still be dominated by PSG itself.

PSG itself is one of the best teams in the world and even though they don't have Messi now, they are still managing to get ahead, I think Luis Enrique has very good options and that should be taken advantage of and they are increasing this, that's why I say Now more than ever teams like Lens, even Lyon, Marseille, have a great opportunity, I think things can be focused on the safest path towards a better team and being able to make this league very exciting:

Mikel Arteta ecstatic with 'genuine dream' victory over Lens

So far the match is 1-1 and they are at half time, it's good, they have shown satisfactory football, I don't know if Lyon is holding on and is putting in all their effort, but so far they haven't done badly, I liked the goals, I think they can do a good job, personally I would think that things can happen at this point for whatever team, even though Lens is the favorite, I don't see them as comfortable, Lyon is really complicating their path Even so, if Lens has not shown everything, it is time to do so. For me, things have to happen in a good way, but in this match, even though Lens is in favor, Lyon may have a good surprise, because if They lock themselves in to defend if they score a goal and play with the counterattack, because it wouldn't be bad at all, it's a very valid strategy, I would do it, even though Lyon has to add points, even if a draw is much better than losing.

I don't think Paris Saint German will find it difficult to win Borussia Dortmund in their last group stage fixture reason being that Dortmund has already gotten a spot in the knockout stages so they will not put more energy in their match against Paris Saint German despite the fact that they're playing in their home ground because they wouldn't want their key players to get injured while struggling to win Paris Saint German and they might even reserve some of their key players so definitely I'm optimistic that Paris Saint German will win Borussia Dortmund.


Kylian Mbappe have been of great impact to PSG but it's not enough reason to say he can bring changes to himself as it requires team effort for him to shine so if the players are not in one voice then his performance can drastically reduce but however, Mbappe is really a key player in PSG squad and I wonder how the club will be able to cope without him if he eventually moves out of the club. PSG is too dependent on Kylian Mbappe which is not a good one because if anything happens to him the club may start dropping in form so they rather look for a player that can match his standard for the club.

I also believe Lens will win in this home match, because it looks like Lyon still hasn't managed to recover. Although yes, at least Lens in this season also started not entirely well, but slowly Lens managed to recover and it was proven, at least at this time Lens was ranked in the top 6. With good performance and results for Lens so far this season, then of course Lens will be able to maximize the match against Lyon to keep getting points. Because after all, last season also Lens managed to finish in second place and therefore, of course, Lens will still have a good chance to beat Lyon in this match.

There is no doubt about their progress in Champions League is not good and after having draw against Newcastle United things are going more troubled which needs good effort from them in last game against Dortmund if they want to go through into round of 16 because without win they can't go even Newcastle United is also having problems, but they can manage against AC Milan which is much easier than PSG but mostly peoples feeling they can do this against Dortmund because host club is already progressed, and they can give chance to their few reserve players which will help them.

Kylian Mbappé is surely one of the best which can bring changes by himself, and he needs to give his best in this last match even nothing is predictable about their progress but still I am personally having faith in them for going for the next round and having good positive end of this season.

I think Luis Enrique is the right man for PSG to build a cohesive team. he has not only shown that at Barca, but also at Spain national team. Enrique's successful tenure at his previous teams highlights the importance of not just individual talent but also the synergy within the team. The mention of the "Mbappe predicament" raises an interesting point. If a key player like Mbappe is mentally checked out, it can indeed affect the overall dynamics and cohesion of the squad.

The suggestion to let Mbappe go, and focus on assembling a more cohesive squad under someone like Zidane is an intriguing idea. Zidane has a good reputation at developing young talent in his successful time at Real Madrid that makes him a compelling candidate for such a role. PSG need to focus on resolving team dynamics and ensuring a cohesive for their bigger target; Champions League. It will be interesting to see how PSG navigates these challenges and whether potential changes in leadership or players composition can contribute to a more harmonious and successful future for the club.

Today there are several matches but I will focus on Lens' match against Lyon and on this occasion Lens must really be able to take advantage of Lyon's condition which is in a bad state and must at least be able to win by 2 scores in today's match.
Statistically, matches in the past between these two clubs have almost become competitive opponents because Lens have only beaten Lyon once while Lyon have won twice, but that is data from the past and currently Lyon's condition is very different with a weak defense and an attack line that is not strong enough. made the club very bad.
In this match I will predict the total score of Lens over 1.5 with odds @1.74 which is much better.

Congratulations to Reims for winning the match but in my opinion Reims almost lost this match if it wasn't for the Strasbourg player making a mistake. Lucas Perrin tried to block the ball so it didn't go into the goal but it ended up going into his own goal and in the end Lucas Perrin scored the own goal. as well as being the deciding factor for Reims.
Strasbourg could not break through Reims' defense in the first half. In the second half, Strasbourg was only able to score 1 goal through a penalty in the final minutes until the match ended Strasbourg was unable to equalize until finally the match ended with Reims winning. Now Reims is in 5th place with a difference of 4 points from Lens.

Meanwhile Lens today will match with Lyon, I think Lens will win the match to get closer to Reims, Lyon is in very bad form, I'm sure Lens will make good use of this opportunity and of course the bookies will choose to bet on Lens in this match.

I agree that this will be a difficult match for Nice because Nantes often makes things difficult for the top teams and they are a serious stumbling block for the top teams to win. In H2H the results were not much different and most of the two ended with a draw. I don't know whether Nice can win this time or not, but what is certain is that Nantes will try to stop them either with a win or a draw. Nantes don't want to continue being at the bottom of the table and they have to change this season if they don't want to fall back into the relegation zone. In my opinion, the match was quite tough for Nice and being able to win by a narrow score was a good result for them.

Looks like the league this year is interesting and Nice is there but not only Nice also some other teams,it is different this time PSG have just come first in here and it is not going away this year.Now this very day Nice have a very difficult game against Nantes as they are playing away at Nantes home now.

If they manage to not win this game it means that Nice will have missed a huge opportunity to get the lead only temporary at least as a minimum.PSG is in great form as they showed in the Champions game against Newcastle that they completely dominated despite not winning it.

Seeing a team of their caliber falter against clubs like Newcastle is depressing. Given that their best club is unable to compete on a larger scale, this begs serious concerns about the French League's quality of competition. It involves not only the players' conduct on the field but also the team's entire administration and strategy

Considering Luis Enrique's success at Barcelona, bringing him in was a promising move. The man led Messi, Suarez, and Neymar to a Champions League triumph, after all. But there may be more to PSG's issue than just coaching. Their collaboration isn't as cohesive as Enrique's Barcelona was. Then there is the Mbappe predicament. It could be best for PSG to let him go if he's already mentally checked out and concentrate on assembling a more cohesive squad, perhaps with Zidane leading the charge who has a reputation for developing young talent
