They would still go ahead to win the League 1 at the end of the season, the League 1 has never been the Issue with Paris Saint Germans.
Though this is not a squad that would win them this league easily, they should be happy they still have Kylian Mbappe around because, this is not the kind of squad with so much inconsistency you'd want Kylian Mbappe a player with purpose and desire to play with. I saw that this game would result to this draw but didn't get to stake it. The defenders lacked communication at the very last minutes of the game.

Gennaro Gattuso and his lads got to achieve three points yet again. Per Emerick Aubameyang wasn't amongst the goalscorers but je contributed to one of them goals. He now has seven assist in League 1 and five goals for Marseille.

This result is quite surprising. I waited 90 more minutes and I really thought they were going to win the game. A goal in the 94th minute from Jonathan David buried PSG's hopes of strengthening their position in first place. NICE performed poorly in the last 5 matches with 5 defeats but this result leaves them only 5 points behind PSG. Competition in Ligue 1 is still quite competitive because Monaco has the potential to overtake NICE in second place.

PSG wasted the opportunity to widen the gap with Nice after only being able to draw 1-1 at Lille headquarters, Lille reply was very painful because it happened towards the end of the match. One mistake made in their defensive area made them lose the three points that were already in front of them. This result does not affect PSG position at the top of the standings, but the loss of two points means they failed to move away from Nice who are in second place.
The result of a football game is very difficult to predict. When fans think their team has won, but they have to be satisfied with seeing their team draw after a small mistake was made towards the end of the match which resulted in their team conceding the goal.

PSG did not perform optimally in this match, even Lille was able to match PSG's game so that the match was a little more balanced. In fact, PSG was overwhelmed by Lille players who played much more neatly and coordinated, making it quite difficult for PSG to score goals. Lille also had a much bigger chance to score a goal but failed to maximize this opportunity. Mbappe was only able to score a goal from the penalty spot and otherwise there were no opportunities for the PSG players to take advantage of to score.

David managed to equalize before the game ended in added time in the second half, so PSG had to lose two points because they conceded. Even though the draw did not affect PSG's position in the standings, I saw that PSG's performance was far inconsistent in this match because a number of opportunities could not be maximized properly.

PSG lost another chances to grab three points. Victory almost sealed for Paris Saint-Germain but got denied in the last minutes of injury time, with Lille player, Jonathan David hitting hard in the 18 yard box to equalize the scores. Luis Enrique and his supporters becomes more surprised because no one expected Lille to share points with elite club like PSG. Football is changing every season, we seem not to understand the path its flowing and everyone should be careful on how to deal with the club's performance, and not to be too sure of betting on your favorites clubs.

UEFA Champions League requires an experienced team to qualify the group stage and to advance in each step. It is rarely an unexperienced team could do such thing. Maybe the exception was with Porto and Mourinho but that was a high level of management and tactics at that time. Lens lack all these things and are struggling this season until they found some equilibrium.

Mbappe scored a penalty in the second half and PSG didn't make numerous serious attacks so they ended up receiving a goal in the extra time. Such defeat was unnecessary and costly for PSG because they were able to increase the gap to 8 points since the other two top teams lost their games.. That allowed Marseille and Lens eventually to get closer from Europa League spots for next season.

I think if they got knocked out in the Champions League because they were in so much pressure how much time do you think they have in the Europa League before they will be knocked out too because they will encounter more pressure in the Europa League than they had in the champions League. Lens needs to learn how play even under pressure because they are no longer a small club since they will likely be coming to champions League next season, Europa teams are mostly good teams that failed to grab some points due to some bad performance which gave them a bad results not that they are small teams where Lens can easily play against and win so i suggest the Lens team start getting more good players that will help to play against any team in any competition.

The final result was 1-1 and PSG efforts really failed in this match because they had taken an early lead with a goal from Mbappe but Losc was able to equalize in the final minutes of the match. The match was more exciting in today's match because Losc was able to balance PSG strength in this match and they were even able to shoot a lot of shots in this match. I saw that Luis Erinque used a 3-4-2-1 formation and in the previous match he used 4-3-3 and a slight change in today's match made them fail to win this match. I think why should he try another formation if the player is more comfortable with 4-3-3 but that's his decision and he tries different formations when facing different opponents.

The failure to get full points meant that PSG failed to widen the gap with the teams below them, however, PSG is still 5 points ahead of Nice who are in second place. So PSG is still quite comfortable in being at the top even though they achieved a draw in today match. Mbappe has so far recorded 16 goals from 15 matches, this shows how productive he has been this season. I think Mbappe can surpass the previous season record where he scored 29 goals and this season is still long, of course he can score more goals in the upcoming matches.

I confess that I am surprised by the result of Lille's game against PSG, despite Lille being a very difficult opponent because in the last few games they have not lost in any game and had many draws, I still expected that PSG would be able to come away with a victory In that game, PSG had difficulty scoring a goal, thanks to the penalty they benefited from which allowed them to score a goal, if there hadn't been that penalty, then PSG would have lost in that game, but I have to congratulate them because PSG were very well in defense, they only conceded 1 goal in this game and that is something positive, it shows that their defense was good

with this draw PSG remains at the top of the table and with a comfortable advantage, I sincerely doubt very much that they will lose this number one position until the end of the league, in my opinion PSG have no opponents in league1 so they will win league1 again in this one season also mainly because the other teams have lost, Nice and Monaco, which could be teams that would cause some threat to PSG, had defeats, which only benefited PSG even more. I still can't understand why the other Ligue 1 teams can't have strong squads in their teams to the point where they can compete at the same level as PSG

PSG had a very unlucky day, they were already a goal ahead of Lille but luck was not on their side, cause they couldn’t find the back of the net after Mbappé scored the penalty awarded to them, well luckily for them, this draw won't affect their position in the table cause they're still 5 points away from Nice, however despite the fact that Lille where on their home ground, PSG where favorites to win the game, but they were very careless with their defense and allowed Lille to equalize.

 I think winning the Ligue 1 trophy wouldn't be a very difficult task for Lius Enrique, he's really proof that he's a good coach and capable of handling the squad, but he needs to help them improve better so as to do well in the UCL tournament which they just qualified to the next round, well the good thing is that even though they don't win the UCL trophy they'll win the Ligue 1 trophy.

Nice's magic at the beginning of the season seems to have stopped now and it doesn't seem wrong to say Nice will lose momentum and slowly return to a position below the top 4 this time.
Slowly Nice's balance is declining although this still looks good because they can still win some matches but still they also cannot maintain their performance which was actually very good at the beginning of the season.
A lot of drama happened in the Nice match including 2 red cards given by the referee to each player in the 81st minute but even before that Nice was very chaotic, especially in defense because they were too focused on attacking to forget the defense that was shaky due to the fast counter-attacks by Le Harve.

In today's match we saw PSG who were actually ready to get 3 points but in 1 minute of time before the end they actually had to concede the ball through a goal created by Jonathan David in 90+4 which made PSG have to be willing to share 1 point with Lille.
A little unfortunate but indeed looking at the opportunities that occur and the monotony of PSG's attacks, especially in finsihing, I think this is still quite appropriate with 1 point received even though this must have destroyed a lot of bettors in this match.

If PSV Eindhoven had lost in the last match, maybe Lens would have passed the round, but I think they would have been more successful in the European league. Of course, I am very curious about their opponents. If they face a slightly weaker opponent, they can advance to the next round. Lens is a team that can be successful in both League 1 and UEL.

And in the end, the Lille vs Paris Saint-Germain match ended with a score of 1-1. as I posted above, this match has the potential to end in a draw. however, to be safer in betting, the Under 3 goals option with odds @1.89 is safer and more ideal. considering that Lille is playing at home, and in their 5 matches they have not lost. that's why I speculate that this match will be tough. apart from that, initially I thought that Luis Enrique would implement a 4-4-3 system. but in fact, he prefers the 3-4-2-1 pattern. it could be that Enrique will further strengthen the system he has implemented to become his mainstay. Remembering that in the match against Dortmund, Enrique used the same pattern. however, it seems that the system he wants is not what he wants, in fact there are several players who underperform. apart from that, Enrique has rotated several of his players again. as a result, this match ended in a draw. whereas previously, Paris Saint-Germain had swept 8 matches with a win. in this match, Lille stopped their victory in Ligue 1. Based on statistics, the PSG players played the match well. However, there are some who play not optimally. as for the course of the match, overall the two teams played quite evenly even though PSG was slightly superior on technical grounds. but in terms of opportunities, Lille has a better chance. With this result, it doesn't affect PSG's position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. moreover, in this match Enrique was really experimenting with systems, patterns and rotations. As for the home team, a draw does not make their position safe in the top 4 of the standings. but at least, they avoided defeat. and if PSG players don't make blunders, it looks like PSG will win this match even though it will still be with a narrow score. as a result, both teams shared points in this 16th match.

Currently Lille is still 0-1 behind PSG. Meanwhile PSG is still trying to score the second goal which they have so far failed to achieve, but considering there is still time, I think PSG can make good use of it. PSG seemed to have difficulty scoring the second goal because of Lille's good defense, but of course it wouldn't be a problem if PSG could maintain that narrow lead until the end.

Luis Enrique has indeed performed well in Ligue 1 this season with 3 draws and 1 defeat, but Enrique must be very capable of maintaining it because the Ligue 1 title is the most realistic title to achieve. PSG are not very good in the Champions League which means they have to be very focused on Ligue 1 and remain leading the standings with a large points gap from Nice and Monaco.

PSG have finally got ahead by a penalty goal scored by Mbappe now. Lille have been making difficulties for them in the second half. PSG couldn't maintain their dominance in the first half but they are still 1-0 ahead now. Lille were already a tough matchup especially in an away game. PSG have many missing players at the same time.

But this isn't still a big obstacle for them to continue winning their league games. Despite having some inconsistencies in the league at the beginning they have been on a wonderful winning streak for so many weeks. I wonder which team will stop this streak.

PSG seem to be struggling with Lille to get a goal as they have ended the first half of the game goalless.i was expecting PSG will have a smooth sail playing against Lille and be able to have gotten a goal by the end of the first half but it turned PSG is yet to secure a goal although they have got a good possession and showing some dominance so far.

Lille is playing from home and is appearing really defensive against PSG, I think PSG will be using a different tactical approach in the second half and are very probable to win by the end of the second half of the game. I definitely want to see PSG win this game so they will be relaxed to play their UCL round of sixteen games because if they win, they will further strengthen their position at the top of the table and will not have to border much about the Ligue 1 but to making sure to get pass the round of 16 in the UCL as that seems like priority.

Marseille returned with a win at home and this makes the winning trend get better every week. Marseille took the lead with 2 goals in the first half which made them almost complete the win at home from the first half. Maybe Clemont was not a match for Marseille but at least they responded with 1 goal in the second half.

A narrow win for Marseille with a score of 2-1 and fortunately Clermont was not able to equalize with the remaining minutes and I think Marseille must be able to increase their number of goals and not be quickly satisfied with the two goals they have scored. Of course, it would be risky if one day the opponent managed to hold a draw or even reverse the situation. Marseille rose to 6th in the standings and has the same points as Lens.

PSG team is in very good form now. Their achievement in 15 matches is 36 points. On the other hand, Nice, who is second in the table, has earned 32 points in 16 matches. If PSG wins today's match, they will go 7 points ahead of Nice.

Opponent Lille team is not weak. We can't remember the last time we saw a Lille team lose. This team has not been defeated in any match for a long time. In the last 5 matches they won 2 matches and drew the remaining 3 matches. The defense of the Lille team is very strong. They have conceded just 11 goals this season. If Lille's defense is solid against PSG, this match is also likely to be a draw. But if PSG can dominate and win this match then they will not have to face any problem to win this year's title.

Lyon is gradually marking a revival in performance, most recently the match against Monaco was completed well. Lyon two consecutive wins lifted their position from the bottom of the standings. I think winning 3 points over Monaco is good for them, because we know that Monaco is tougher this season. There are still many matches ahead, and Lyon has the opportunity to continue to improve their position gradually. The most realistic target is the middle of the standings, and now they must continue to try to avoid the degradation zone as much as possible.

The January transfer window is getting closer, I think they have to immediately formulate several names that need to be recruited to add depth to the squad. In order to be able to survive in Ligue 1 next season, because entering the second half of the season the level of competition becomes hotter, and they should understand this very well.

A good win for the Marseille which bring them to fifth spot and now things are going interesting at the top specially after lost of Nice and Monaco into their last games Brest won, and now we will have Lille vs PSG which is also going to have good impact on league table but recent good winning streak by Marseille create good pressure on other teams specially while teams are going to end in second half which is usually more tough and things can take any change most chances Marseille will be able to hold good spot in coming weeks, and we will have good changes at the top as well Lens is also back in spot which is another good team, and now they are also having spot into Europa League.

In today match if we have won for the PSG then surely, they could be strongly settled at the top and their difference could be seven points from the second spotted team but in case of draw/ Lille win this will create good competition between top teams for having their chances for the top ranks in future as well.
