They are lucky to have a good coach you see there,  he has brought in stability even with how Kylian Mbappe has shown he wants to leave the club at the end of the season.  It will be a big shame if he cannot win the league Cup at the end of this season so I'm proud of the coach.  They have to do well in the jext few games.  They must show winner mentality against top side Barcelona in the champions league.

Right now it has also been seen that theybare better favorites to get to the next level than Barcelona.  Having Mbappe is a great one too, he will bring a different force in that game.

Normally almost every season PSG usually has little to no challenge with the Ligue 1 but mostly they get issues been very productive in the champions league, they usually get room aquintend with winning every of the Ligue 1 games and always lifting the trophy so thst i begin to think rhst they may never be able to win another trophy away from the Ligue 1 and other smaller easy leagues too.

If PSG ever gets to win the champions league, then they will be able to bost of their abilities in been able to win an elite trophy, the reason PSG may have. Not been able to win such trophies as the champions league will most likely be that they have been focused so much on just getting to win the champions league without much needed preparation for it which is actually beyond just qualifying for the champions league and playing with the players whom you have without any different kind and form of tactics you approaching the champions league buy just playing like they do in their regular domestic league forgetting that they are meeting a whole different teams in the champions league which they don't meet in their domain league.

PSG must learn to prepare for the next champions league from this season by building experience and also nurturing players who will be able to really get them to be able to win what they actually want, buy thinking that mare buying bigger players will give them that which they wish to achieve will definitely be the reason they will continue to fall and not get the chance to win the trophy in any of the seasons.

I won’t entirely agree with all your statements about PSG though. Saying that they lack competitive teams in the Ligue 1 to make it difficult for them and for them to add more pressure into the fight for the top title could be true. But their routine game in the champions league is also a very big competitive one for them and they’ve also been doing pretty well in the champions just haven’t had the luck yet to life the trophy. I remember those past games in the champions league matches which in those seasons they were the high contenders for the league only to be eliminated by another top team. PSG are good as a team and that is what is giving them the lead every season to lift the Ligue 1 trophy, they just need to keep trying but I am certain they would lift the trophy one day too.

The decline in Marseille continues. After losing 2-0 to Rennes and PSG, Marseille is now losing to Lille by the same score. We are used to seeing them in 2nd-3rd place but now they are far from the top 6. They might not qualify for the European cups next season. Their biggest problem is that they have no goal scorer except Aubameyang. There is no player in the team who has scored 6 and more goals. When the wingers, number 10 and the other strikers are so out of form, this place in the standing is normal. This is the problem they need to solve first and foremost for next season.

Yeah, it should be easy for them to  do that. For, If we consider it from any perspective, even though Lens is not as optimal as last season, the comparison between Lens and its three opposing clubs will be quite different. As long as Lens doesn't underestimate their opponent and they can stay focused on winning, they shouldn't experience many difficulties. What happens is that a club underestimates its opponent and in the end it will not be optimal. This is quite dangerous for any club.

The match currently taking place in the French League is between the top 3 clubs, LOSC and Marseille. LOSC is already ahead 2 - 0.

So there is a big possibility that LOSC will win. Moreover, it has now entered the 75th minute. So, there is no doubt that LOSC has a bigger chance to win. Judging from the course of the match, LOSC also appears to be dominating the match, without much competition from Marseille.

The Lille - Marseille match will be one of the highlights of the week in terms of viewing pleasure. Marseille have scored only one goal in their last three games and have not won. Marseille's offensive line has been problematic lately. Lille, on the other hand, is going through a difficult period in defense. Actually, the game plans of both teams do not look good.

The main reason why Lille's defensive weaknesses will stand out is that they have problems in coming back after a crowded attacking organization and they are not fast. Marseille will play with extra concentration and motivation in this match to end their bad run and they will want to have the ball. Lille will have no difficulty in getting into scoring positions with their wing organizations and we could see some goals in this match. My preference is mutual goals.

PSG have the ability to manage the team well and it is even impossible for us to find another team that can currently be as good as PSG in Ligue 1, with the ability and money power they have so far made Ligue 1 only a way for PSG to be able to play in the champions league every season, their ease in winning domestic league trophies at this time certainly makes PSG the most dominating team in Ligue 1 and even when At the moment we can guess if PSG will win Ligue 1 again next season even without Mbappe in their squad.

I agree with what you said, because indeed an easy journey in the league is not able to make PSG a scary team in Europe today, even with a star-studded squad PSG continue to fail to get the Champions League trophy and I think this season will also be no different from last season when PSG failed again, the absence of tight competition in the league certainly does not provide a challenge that can indeed strengthen the character, performance and also a strong mentality for PSG so far.

Basically Marseille really has bad results for away matches in this season and also, although Marseille has better results for home matches. But anyway, the fact is that when Marseille played at home against Lille in the first meeting of this season too, in fact Lille was able to hold Marseille to a draw. So yes, because in this match Marseille will play away, then I personally fully doubt Marseille but fully believe Lille will be able to win in this match. But indeed, maybe bad results can still happen but still, I'm sure Lille will not lose in this home match, the result of winning or just a draw I'm sure Lille will get in this match. Also about the match between Monaco v Renner, I also believe that Monaco will win and of course Monaco can still sleep well, because Monaco still has better quality compared to Rennes.

Looking at Marseille's performance this season compared to Lille, we will see that Lille is in better shape than Marseille. It is not that Marseille is performing poorly, but the truth is that Marseille's performances are not that stable; sometimes they will play well and sometimes they will play disappointingly. So if I should judge based on their performance this season and last few seasons performance records, I will say that Lille is the favourite team to win the match today. In their past seasons, like three to four seasons, it was only the team hosting the game that always had the opportunity of winning, and today Lille is the team hosting the game. Marseille is coming to Lille Stadium, so I see Lille having a better chance of winning today's match, and if possible, Lille was not lucky to win the game. I think they will draw the game. 

Which is confusing to me. I mean there are better teams there than Ligue 1 teams and considering the situation they are in, I would have expected them to have something much better at ligue one. They should have been second team with a big gap, but they are not there right now.

Looking at how the teams are going, I feel like the biggest shocker of the season has been Lyon without a doubt, bare bottom with so many point difference, to mid table team after middle of the season. They really look great and I feel like if they could manage to keep this up, they could even finish at conference league levels. Which could be a stone they could build upon and be better next season as well. I really like them, would love to see them do better.

Its fair odds behind LOSC Lille has better position standings than Marseille dropping their standings outside from Champion League spot and current on 7th placed. Marseille's performance in the last three matches in all competitions has been very bad, three consecutive defeats in the last three matches in all competitions have made Marseille's position further away from the UEFA Champions League spot. Last two games in Ligue 1, Marseille defeated by Rennes and last match from PSG, seems difficult for Marseille return back to winning performance behind LOSC Lille performance quit well currently.
Last match, Lille won over Lens and get the motivate for defeating Marseille tonight how to secure the top fourth position and want qualify to champion league next season.

Marseille is a great team in the France Ligue 1 as they were also among the top teams in France first division but over the years I don't know what has happened to the team that led to their drop in form but however they always tried to maintain a convenient position in most of their season and considering the fact that they are performing more better in the Europa league is also a sign that they are in for some improvements but however, their game against Benfica may go in favour of Benfica just like some football analysts and bookmakers predicted it because if you check the strength of Benfica and Marseille, you will agree with me that Benfica is more organized and stronger than Marseille so am afraid the match may go in Benfica's favour but let's see how it goes as sometimes football doesn't work the way we think and surprises are meant to occur so I wouldn't be surprised if Marseille makes a difference.

Where there are teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Arsenal, depending on Mbappe alone, PSG will definitely not be able to realize their Champions League dream. PSG has been dreaming of winning the Champions League trophy for a long time but they have not been able to win the Champions League trophy so far due to lack of proper planning and not being able to have the right team combination. Where other teams build squads from goalkeepers to forwards, PSG were focused on buying only forwards and the results did not go in their favor. This season's team is vastly different from last season's team and there is no player other than Mbappe this season who can compete with the likes of Real Madrid or Manchester City and win the team. Mbappe may dream of winning the UCL trophy but this dream is very difficult to achieve.

Marseille experienced 3 matches with defeats in two different events, first in the European League against Villareal, even though they qualified for the next phase. two more matches in domestic competition, a loss against Rennes and a match against PSG. It seems that there has been a slight decline in the team under the guidance of Jean-Louis Gasset. but it's natural for me personally, after all, Jean-Louis Gasset has only managed Marseille in 9 matches in all competitions with Marseille. At the very least, he needs much more solid chemistry to form a more ideal team. Before the match against Benfica, Marseille will play a match against Lille. In this match, Lille is more favored than Marseille, especially since Jean-Louis Gasset's team is playing away from home. Let's see how this match turns out. In the first match of the season, the match ended in a draw. my estimation, not many goals will be scored by the two teams that will compete this morning.

Talking about the match against Benfica, the home team is superior to Marseille in the Europa League quarter-final match. however, the available odds are equally good for both teams. It is possible that the first leg match could potentially end in a draw, or Marseille could be able to beat the home team. Well, because this match still has a time lag, it would be better if we just look forward to the Lille versus Marseille match which will be held in the next few hours.

LOSC is still in good shape. It's hard to think it will lose against Marseille, which is still declining so hard. Marseilla got a pathetic result in the last match against PSG, as it was not even able to win the game against 10 players. It's also losing against Rennes, too, which is fully destroying Marseille's mentality. Gasset shall be sacked if marseille once again to lose against LOSC.
LOSC is still in a big advantage because its opponent has suffered several losses in a row. The losses faced by Marseille probably destroyed the club's mentality.

Here's the odds

LOSC 1.98
Marseille 3.90

Home game for LOSC. With the odds almost two and LOSC becomes a very smart choice, considering the fact that the home game will obviously boost the performance of LOSC against marseille.
Im sure LOSC win in this game.

PSG has dominated Ligue 1 and it is difficult to compete with them so other clubs will not be able to break their dominance so far, but I believe that one day there will be another club that might be able to break PSG's dominance in the next season, as well as in the Bundesliga league. where Leverkusen was able to break Munich's dominance this season, it is clear that PSG will not always be able to dominate Ligue 1 every season because there will definitely be times when they will be beaten by other clubs, even though financially PSG is much better than other clubs in Ligue 1 but you need to remember that Leverkusen alone managed to break Munich.

I think it's just a matter of time to see PSG break its dominance in Ligue 1 and PSG, that's why Mbappe won't develop if he continues to be at PSG and can only win the Ligue 1 title compared to other league titles, this season Mbappe must be able to show his best performance in competition against Barcelona who of course have equal strength to them, this is the time for PSG to show their quality to qualify for the next round. at least reach the UCL final this season.

There is only one match in the French Ligue 1 today. Lille will play Marseille at home. Lille have won 2 and drawn 2 of their last 4 matches in the French Ligue 1. They have not lost in the last weeks. We can say that they have good results. I like their tactics, they have the ball in every match. And they play with a high passing percentage. On the other hand, Marseille lost their last two matches in the French Ligue 1. They had good results after Gasset took charge. But in the last weeks they have had bad results. I see Lille as the favorite in this match.

I'm not sure PSG can get the treble winner title, especially the UCL title because this title is the most difficult title for PSG to achieve. Before Man City and Real Madrid are eliminated, don't expect PSG to get it, even if they are able to pass Barcelona in the top 8, that doesn't guarantee PSG can achieve it. final because we don't know what kind of challenges PSG will face in the semifinals and that is quite a difficult obstacle for PSG.

Lille against Marseille will be the headline of this week's Ligue 1 match and it looks like the hosts have full strength to get another 3 points. I don't think Marseille will be able to steal points in this match because they are experiencing a deadlock in the last two matches and for Lille, who just won against Lens, they need these points to be able to match Monaco's points tally.

If that happens then we will see much tighter competition in the top 4 because several teams will have the opportunity to overtake each other every week. On the other hand, Monaco will not sleep well considering that their opponent is Rennes and the opportunity to lose points against Rennes is also quite open for Monaco. Even though Rennes hasn't been very good recently, if they face a comparable opponent they could become Monaco's nightmare.

PSG can dominate League 1 because there is no club that is comparable to them, but PSG will have difficulty competing for the UCL title because in the UCL there are quite a lot of teams that are above them. Apart from that, many star players in one team also have a bad influence because when a team has many star players, it is likely that the team will be pressured by high expectations from supporters or club officials. This is what has been happening with PSG, but since Enrique's arrival things have slowly changed, now PSG doesn't have too many star players. Because in the domestic league it's too easy and it's not good because you play without pressure, so if you play in the UCL league you don't have that mentality.

In essence, what has happened to PSG in the last few seasons, PSG's competitors are too far away financially in League 1, so that PSG's rivals find it difficult to buy top players at PSG's level. In the end, PSG's rival clubs had to give up their key players to other clubs. This has also been the case with Bayer Munich in the last few seasons, only if Bayern Munich really has a good European mentality then they can compete in the UCL league.
