Indeed, Nice performance has been really good this season, so they defeat in yesterday match was surely disappointed. Now Nice already got two defeats in their away matches, because previously they also lost against Nantez. Personally, I'm also worried that Nice won't be able to stay in the top four if they lose again. Especially, in the next match Nice will face against Lens, and Lens team has returned to consistency by having a good trend in their last 11 matches which are never lost in Ligue 1.

I personally was really surprised and disappointed at the results of this game between Nice and Le Havre. Nice this season has been in a very good and somehow excellent form such that they topped the league table at a time and I least expected they will loose to Le Havrein this match, not only did they lose but with a good margin which showed a clear defeat.

Le Havre did performed well even with the red card they had they were able to win and I must say their home advantage was such they they did used well enough and it did turned out I'm their favour so I would say it was a deserving win for Le Havre, if Nice continues I'm this form they will further drop points and will not make it any longer to the top four, they have dropped some point already by this match and I think from this match it showed that they have some defensive challenge which they have to fix if they must be able to reduce further conceding of goals in their subsequent fixtures in the Ligue 1 games this season.

I am not surprised by this result, Nice is an inconsistent team and in terms of performance every week they are not able to maintain the level of play of their own team. It was not Le Havre who were able to recover in this match and managed to win the match but there was indeed a significant decline in quality. from the Nice team this week..
Indeed, if we look at it as a whole, Nice has quite a lot to improve so that they can maintain the consistency of their team's play.

It's quite surprising to see that Nice suffered a defeat when facing a promoted club and this is the second defeat that Nice has experienced. Indeed, I admit that Nice's attack line is not that sharp, even between PSG and Monaco. Nice produced the fewest goals, they only guarded the defense so they didn't concede. more goals than the opponent, Nice should improve their front line to make it sharper so they can compete with PSG for the title if their attack line is not completely reliable then I doubt Nice can beat PSG they will still be the same as other clubs who couldn't break PSG's dominance.

Yes, this defeat does not change Nice's position in the standings, but they are widening the gap with PSG. If PSG is able to beat LOSC in the 16th match tomorrow, PSG will collect 39 points and this makes PSG sit comfortably at the top of the standings with quite a large difference from Nice. With this, PSG is not under as much pressure from Nice, the difference is 7 points, of course Nice will find it increasingly difficult to catch PSG if PSG continues to win in a row like recently.

In the end, Nice was defeated by a promoted team, even with a fairly large score, Nice was unable to beat Le Harve. even though Nice actually controlled the game, and even technically Nice was superior to the home team in this match. however, of the 13 total shots, 4 were on target, only one of which they converted into a goal, and that too was a consolation goal in the minutes before the game ended. Nice's problem is not because the coach has not found an ideal system or even an effective strategy, but because the quality of Nice's strikers cannot be relied on. Honestly, I don't mean to underestimate Nice, but the fact is that they don't have a sharp striker to be their mainstay up front. as we can see, from the 16 matches played by Nice, they were only able to score 17 goals. It could be said that Nice is only able to score 1 goal per match. although in reality, this is not the case. IMO, what differentiates the Nice squad is because their defensive line plays quite disciplined. and at the same time, Nice was able to win the match even though they only scored one goal. In this match, what the Nice coach implemented did not run smoothly. In fact, the home team played more with the old pattern, namely 4-4-2. In short, this system is more about playing defense and only relying on counter attacks. It was proven that Le Havre only had 38% ball possession, but they had 3 counter attacks, 3 shots from the counter attack and 1 chance from the counter attack which they converted into a goal. It seems that the quick surprise goal scored by the home team made Nice more open to playing to catch up. unfortunately, the home team increased their lead and in the end Nice fell with a score of 3-1. and yeah, as I often say. If in the end, Nice will experience a decline in performance in the following matches. fortunately, Monaco was defeated by Lyon. if not, Nice will have to be willing to shift their position. With this result, it opens up an opportunity for Lille to reduce the difference in points and get closer if they win their 17th match. however, the team they were playing against was Paris Sain-Germain. well, let's just wait.

Luis Enrique will ensure to lift a major trophy in his first season in Parc des Princes stadium. Paris Saint Germain will be crown the champion of the Ligue One 2023/2024 campaign. There's no existence of solid doubt because the only club that follow everything up couldn't maintain their peak and now, to each the club decline so bad in performance, everything falls so quickly apart. Nice performance was excellent in the early starting of the league, now they will have to wait for good form probably by next year to resume their best form because I don't see any positive changes currently.

That's the problem with all these average clubs they will perform very well at the beginning till a certain stage they will start flopping and giving the bigger teams edge to have control of the league and continuously dominate the league like Nice would have had the chance to close the gap with PSG but yet they lost such a crucial match to Le havre.

It's a surprise that I don't even believe Lyon can beat Monaco because Lyon has played quite badly this season. But that assumption was wrong because when they faced a highly ranked team Lyon were able to improve their game balance for the better and that was quite an impressive turnaround from what they had done in the previous match. Winning with a score of 1-0 is quite good considering that Monaco has performed better than them this season. Statistically the hosts played well in this match but they were unable to beat Lyon in this match. We saw that Monaco recorded 19 shots but none of them managed to become a goal. They really didn't have a way to score a goal in this match. Lyon in the last two matches was able to win and it seems like Lyon are improving their match for get 3 points to get out of the relegation zone.

We saw Monaco fail this week and also Nice fail in the match against Le Havre. So it's a good opportunity for PSG to win this week match and widen the points gap with the teams below them. Psg will face Losc in tomorrow match, of course PSG has a pretty good advantage in this match because PSG dominated the victory in their meeting with Losc. But the away match will be a little difficult for them but their strength is certainly stronger compared to losc so Luis Enrique can make the best use of this match to find 3 points.

I never expected Lyon to beat Monaco at home. Monaco is a more established side with some of the best players in the Ligue One but we saw Nice defending very well and getting the winning goal in the 84th minutes. If Lyon can continue with this winning mentality for the next three games they will be heading out of the relegation zone. It will be a disaster for Lyon to go to relegation because the club has a good history both in League One and Champions League.  A game that Monaco dominated in terms of shots on target and possession, but they defended very well and took the few chances they had to get a goal.

Monaco lost an opportunity to close the gap on Nice and PSG. But such results are what makes a league interesting because matches are becoming unpredictable. Pierre Sage seems to be doing a good job since the sack of Fabio Grosso and I just hope the former academy coach will at least bring the club out of the relegation zone.

Monaco who many believes are gonna be one of the strongest rivals of Paris Saint Germaine for the French Ligue 1 title this season surprising lost at home today against a struggling Lyon in game many had predicted that hosts were gonna win comfortably. Considering the performance of Monaco since the start of the season, I was of the opinion that Monaco will not struggle in the game to grab all three points but little did I know that Lyon came with another plan to make sure they win the game. The defeat now leaves Monaco gives Paris Saint Germaine a good chance of further extending their lead at the top of the league standings.

Yes, Nice defeat was quite worse result because they couldn't maintain their good record in conceding of goals. Francesco Farioli as head coach will not be happy with this result, because with this defeat maybe Nice weakness are now exposed. Of course PSG will be very comfortable in the top position, because their two competitors are not get a good results. But in my opinion if both team Nice and Monaco win this week, PSG will always be ready to stay away.

As already discussed here many times we have French league very unpredictable and anything can happen which can create interesting changes so we have in last two days big upsets happen first Monaco lost against bottom side Lyon at home and today another big team Nice which is currently at the third spot lost their match by big margin against newly promoted side Le Havre even both losers are going to stay at their spots, but now next half of this season is going to be interesting because we have few teams which ready for fight to take top spots from them and this will create good entertainment for the soccer fans.

Now we have Lens and Marseille back into business if these both clubs won their matches then points difference will be cut, and we will have interesting situation tomorrow we have another big match which is going to play between Lille vs PSG.

Le Havre will be wild if they play at home, considering that against Monaco they can hold a draw and against Lens they can also hold a draw, while Nice is currently missing several mainstay players who are injured, such as Khephren Thuram, who can be relied on at Nice but unfortunately is injured and this is which makes me doubt that even though Le Havre not look like weak club, it very strong if they play at home and are strong enough to hold a draw even though the opponents they face are popular clubs, but still Le Havre can appear stronger and I avoid matches with several league 1 clubs except PSG and I predict that the Le Havre match against Nice will have 2 chances between Le Havre winning or drawing and I hope anyone chooses to bet on the safe option.

I just realized yesterday's match between monaco and Lyon with a score of 0-1 and even though this score was very small, Monaco was humiliated at home and according to my predictions, when Monaco and Nice were on top at that time I said this was only temporary it had It's time for Nice and Monaco to return to their lost consistency and it turns out this is true.
