Dembele is like glass because he often suffers from injuries, Barcelona is lucky to be able to let him go at a price that is not cheap, PSG have not felt his maximum contribution. So far Dembele has played 23 matches in all competitions in which PSG has participated, and has only managed to score one goal, and Dembele has managed to score eight assists. Dembele return to Luis Enrique squad is certainly good news, considering that the round of 16 of the UCL will soon begin, and Enrique certainly needs Dembele to increase creativity in their front lines. It seems like Dembele is having difficulty adapting at PSG, that's why his number of goals is so low, and Dembele admits that he hasn't reached his best game since moving from Barcelona.

Lens had a perfect performance in the last season and they were racing with PSG until the last week but they couldn't have a good performance anymore in the games we saw from them and they were usually in the middle of the table while a team like Nive is currently in the good form which makes me remember everything about Lens, however, I think in the end even Nice can't reach or get close to PSG.

There is a piece of good news for PSG and it seems their player is finally getting back in the good form. Ousmane Dembélé was mostly injured and not in the good form since he joined PSG and even during the time then he was playing for Barcelona. If Ousmane Dembélé continues the good performance we saw from him during his recovery gets good progress, there's even the chance for Ousmane Dembélé to play for PSG against Brest.

The absence of mbappe will really cause a lot to PSG and that's in no doubt because PSG has got a good level of reliance on him a lot and he's currently the best striker they have got and I doubt if they have any other except they will be able to purchase another, they are wealthy and have got some more  money for that.

Neither lens and Nice will be able to get to PSG, the chances PSG will be winning the league title this season again I'd definitely very large as both their performance and form is both very brilliant so PSg has got another season to add to their list of times they have won the Ligue 1 trophy again for this season but then by next year when mbappe leaves we are going to see if they will still be able to maintain and defend the trophy which they have had in aomg wrong.

Compared to last year, when Lens competed well in the French league, they are playing average this year. While PSG takes the lead alone with 47 points in 20 matches, Lens does not seem like a team that will challenge them this year. Even though they won against Nantes in the last match, they are still struggling to get into the top 3 places in the league.

Lens was a big exception last year and this year it is Nice, but what is it even that they are doing. They don't lose a lot of games, but they get more and more draws and PSG has an easy time to lead the table and wait for the other teams to make mistakes and allow PSG to extend their lead. It is not as if PSG would feel any pressure from the other teams because they are on a winning streak and PSG has to win their games in order to stay at the top. It doesn't matter if they lose some points from time to time, they will win the title eventually. But maybe next year a couple of things will change once Mbappe is gone. Although they still have the money to replace Mbappe with another good player.

This season is surely miserable in Ligue 1 with most of the top teams are having terrible time with their quality and performance in last season we have Lens into top teams but currently after hard fought time they are able to secure 6th and Marseille and Rennes both are down Monaco is also having not good time with they are struggling to stay Intouch with Nice and Brest which are currently at the second and third spots.

There were expectations after arrival of Auba things will be good and at the better spot for the Marseille, but sadly they are not able to win any game in this new year and now their defeat against relegation zone team Lyon is also worst for them now in this month they are going to face another relegation zone team Mets which is not able to win any game in new year like them hopefully this will bring change of fortune for them, and they will be able to win and have better results in coming games.

Brest is currently in better position to take over as second-best team with next two games are going to be tough for the Nice first they are going to host Monaco and they going to visit Lyon which is surely not easy at this time but with the performance of these teams I have feeling French League is surely going to be low quality because mentality and quality both are going down and teams are not able to improve their performance which is creating problems for them.

Currently, at the top we have five teams with just two are having good squads which are doing good work and having better attackers which are giving them good number of goals and three are having below average teams which are fail to create action and goals which are surely important for having good results at the top level in Europa and few teams are badly on decline which is also not positive thing happening to them.

I think Lyon will no longer be an easy prey. There was a bad trend and they put an end to it. Marseille, on the other hand, has been doing badly in the last matches. It can't be a coincidence that Lyon beat them. They have been really good lately and the matches they play and the results they get show us this. I'm sure Lyon will show their best performance against Lille.

It is certain that these two clubs just want to play it safe and are not thinking about breaking PSG's dominance in Ligue One. What they know is that second place can secure a greater chance of playing in the Champions League next season so no matter how hard they fight they won't be able to stop PSG. It is very difficult if there is no team that has a winning mentality and here both Nice and Brest just want to occupy a position below PSG without ever thinking about other results.

However, this result makes PSG even more unstoppable and they will be like the previous season without tight pressure from the teams below them. Once again, PSG has definitely become champions this season and I think that is a tradition that cannot be carried out by any team in Ligue One.

In first half of this season, we have just 4 wins for the Lyon which is surely worst from them and now in second half from three games they have one win which is also not good and next few games are going to be not easy as well because they are going to face top teams in league with their last win against Marseille is surely on right time and must win game which will not create good booster for them which is needed and also needed more effort for the survived because now if they will be fail then surely they could be gone down and things could be also from bad to worse for them.

Marseille is also having troubling season, and currently they are at 8th with their last win was in December if they are not going to bring improvement then surely we will have no chance for them to jump into top four because now things are going to be tough with top three teams are giving better performance and creating good difference of points from other sides.

I think, the result that Lyon will get in the Coupe de France later against Lille, maybe it can't be completely used as a benchmark about Lyon's performance recovering or not. Because yes, usually the favorite teams also sometimes lose by weak teams there in the Coupe de France. So yes, I think whether Lyon wins or loses later in the Coupe de France against Lille does not seem to have a big impact on Lyon's results in Ligue 1.

Because yes, of course Lyon's focus at this moment is to continue to stay away from the relegation zone in Ligue 1 and also, basically Lyon has had a better performance improvement also including beating Monaco in three consecutive wins at the end of the first half of the season. Therefore, I think Lyon's victory against Marseille is certainly a victory with great efforts that Lyon has, and not just relying on the luck factor.

This is the game I am looking at as well this week. Nice vs Monaco could be an important game, Monaco suppose to be a great team and not really ranked high in standings, and they need this win without a doubt, there are many teams how need a win and still lose so there is no guarantee but they will be playing with 100% without a doubt. I think Monaco win is looking more likely to me, I know many people prefer Nice, but I think Monaco could have a higher chance.

The reason for that is the fact that Monaco has no other choice, whereas Nice could lose and still be fine. This is why we are going to end up with something that may change a lot, it should be the most important thing for all of us, and it could definitely cause a lot better results.

I don't know what's going on with Marseille which is supposed to be the second best team in Ligue 1 and they are struggling in the 8th position, far from European competitions spots.
Lyon played well but this wouldn't explain the defeat of Marseille. They have 3 draws before that defeat and they failed to stop this negative pattern.
Lyon will have tomorrow a game against Lille in French Cup, we will see if they woke up for real or just profited from the bad form of Marseille.

Lyon was gradually becoming a relegation team and we knew for sure that they didn't want that for themselves. Their recent games have been impressive on their side and it seems like there's a huge possibility to be out fully from the bottom zone. They have a couple of games to go and they have to secure at least a good number points to be out of the relegation zone completely even though they're trying better than a few weeks back already.

 Hopefully, they'd be able to play more well and win some games and draw some and also avoid much losses too because every loss will affect their chance. Extra efforts and determination needs to be put to the team and they've got face the reality of the battle they've got at hand. No laziness or backwardness should be entertained too. Their league is not so competitive and they normally themselves have the strength before now to compete. There's still high chance for them. Asides the 3points being secured, the goal margin should be considered too as it plays it's own role in keeping a club at the top.

Lyon was performing extraordinarily in this game. It was able preventing marseille to attack the goal keeper. Seeing the stat and it's clear if lyon is on the right track to climb up as soon as possible. Lyon was only giving marseille one goal and this is also hurting the performance from the club. I hope that marseille can perform better but lyon had been successfully in locking the movement from all of marseille players. This is also giving lyon more opportunity to attack marseille. Lyon has made 7 goal attempts, but it was only able scoring 1 goal which is quite disappointed to see that happen. I thought that marseille can do better but it's performing far below my expectation.

Lyon totally dominated the game and it was the major problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Lyon's mentality has been boosting a lot caused by the club was winning the game. It looks so crazy to see how lyon was securing three points from marseille which is placing above it.

Lyon managed to beat Marseille at home by a narrow score and this victory moved Lyon up one level from the relegation zone. The match was quite fierce where Marseille played much more dominantly in possession of the ball, however because Lyon's solid defense made it difficult for Merseille to create opportunities and even some of the opportunities they got could not be utilized properly to score goals.

Marseille lost a lot of points in the last five matches because they were only able to win one match, draw three and finally lost so that Marseille's position was stuck in eighth position in the standings. Lyon is also struggling to get out of the relegation zone so winning is something they must get.

Losing a bet is a very common thing because other people have also experienced it, and apart from that the Lyon team is also trying not to be in the red zone, namely the relegation zone, so it is quite natural for them to fight to win at home in the match against Marseille. Because the Lyon team knows that they are still not very safe in that position, so they are still trying to get points in important matches like the ones they have played at home.

There will be a big match this weekend between Nice vs Monaco and last week both teams have same results that Nice only get draw result from Brest even so with Monaco that they were unable to beat Le Havre because Monaco have to satisfied to share point with Le Havre and about this match according to the meeting statistics Nice can gets 2 winning streak from Monaco with clean sheet and just like i said before i never considers Nice as strong contender for the title but i was interested to them because compared to last season Nice performance is much better now so Nice have good chances to playing at champion league next season if they can able to managed their performance at the end of season

About this match Monaco still unable to managed their consistency and Monaco have through an 3 latest matches with only collect 2 points from 2 draw and 1 loses in Ligue 1 and against Nice they will attempts to gets the winning results again but a bit hard for them to do that because Nice always be showing fantastic performance everytime they playing at their home and Nice records also very impressive because in Ligue 1 Nice got 6 winning streak and 5 cleansheet so Monaco seems will be hard to win from this match even most likely they will be defeated by Nice and recently i have checked the odds for both teams and Nice has high odds

Actually, Brest had several good opportunities but unfortunately they weren't on target and I was very bored seeing the appearance of these two clubs which were very unattractive. Both clubs only thought about defense without any attacks which made tension on one side maybe this condition is very normal because these two clubs are actually Both want to take second place to try to catch PSG, but both clubs have forgotten something very important, namely that yesterday's draw made PSG feel safe in first place.
In yesterday's match I saw that Brest didn't dare to take the risk of trying to score because they were afraid that if they went too far they could concede, but I saw that if Brest was willing to try to continue to put pressure on the Nice defense, I was sure they would be successful in getting the win.
