After a very fierce competition, they gave each other resistance but Lens managed to get 1 score from Aguilar in the first half but there was something that made me think that Lens' victory was like luck but looking at Lens' playing style, it was actually more relaxed without giving too much resistance but was very smart, appearing relaxed but can read how to score and see how to play Lens has the right strategy when scoring successfully Lens feels that it is very difficult to score so he decides to survive until the end of the match to get 3 points.

Yes, of course Brest is not a weak club, we can see how Brest performed yesterday even though they were playing as guests at home to Lens, but Brest dominated the match even though they failed to score, but they really appreciate Brest's performance, they were just unlucky.
For Lyon there is no need to discuss it anymore because this club still has the strength to continue to get a top 10 position because after the arrival of several new players it can make a big change for Lyon's future and the results of this victory are very much appreciated.

PSG will continue to win matches without any solid opponents in their domestic league, facing Reims shouldn't be something for Les Parisiens to worry about because hosting their opponents at Parc des Princes stadium explains everything. PSG is an elite team and winning becomes easier for them when they're able to place their hands of hitting good targets this season. Luis Enrique want it all, the France Ligue One title and also the UEFA Champions League title, these are his top priorities and he's working entirely to ensure he achieve this fight.

Even though in the last two matches PSG had difficulty winning, I think the match against Reims can be easy. To be honest, this match is easy to predict, because the difference in strength between the two teams is clear, where PSG is very dominant and Reims is not an equal opponent. On paper, betting on PSG winning is quite safe without needing much consideration, because I don't think Reims will make PSG lose at the Parc des Princes. The previous victory over Sociedad could motivate Enrique's fleet to win today.

On the other hand, even though PSG played again to a draw, their position is still quite safe at the top of the standings. Currently they have a 9 point difference with Brest, where if they succeed in beating Reims again the difference will increase to 12 points. Like the previous season, this season PSG was able to win the Ligue 1 championship trophy again. However, the ease of competition in Ligue 1 made it difficult for them to compete in the Champions League.

Well yes, I wouldn't really expect any team in Ligue 1 to compete with PSG and even threaten them to not win the title. The difference in the quality of the players is just too big. In my opinion having these imbalances in a league also makes the league boring. Of course if you are a PSG fan, maybe it is fun to see your team win the title every year without having to play at their maximum most of the time.

I think it should at least have two teams of similar quality to keep the league attractive. That's why for PSG a season with just the domestic league title is not a good season. They have been pushing so hard to finally win the Champions League, but in my opinion they are running into the same problems year after year. It's actually the only real challenge for them as most of the league games aren't really pushing them to play at their best level.

Lens last season in the French league was easily the second best team in the league behind eventual winners Paris Saint Germaine but have been the opposite side of themselves since the start of the season but in their game against Brest, they really showed determination to grab all three points from the game and end Brest hopes of catching up with league leaders Paris Saint Germaine.
When Brest was getting good results that saw them move to the second position of the current league table, I was of the opinion that they're never going to catch up with Paris Saint Germaine in the league table because PSG's number of quality players is way better than any other team in the French league table and their performance  and form is also incomparable to other French teams.
This weekend, Paris Saint Germaine is going to play a home league game against Reims and if they can succeed to win in that match, they'll extend their lead at the top of the table to 12 points which I think will they'll definitely win. The French league isn't just entertaining like the few other top five leagues in Europe because of the fact that none of the  other clubs is ready to invest hugely and sign big players that'll make impact to the team.

Lens just bas expected is most definitely going to win this game though the game is still having a chance of ending in a draw because it's already passed the ninetieth minutes into an extra time with lens still leading by a single goal alone a d a goal from their opponent will means a draw but I'm hoping lens will not allow such but will be able to maintain the score line till the end of the game which is in few minutes.

Breast hasn't been a weak team but I didn't see or believe they will be such a good Match for lens enough to cause lens to not be able to win them and probably share points with them or probably get to steal all three points but I personally think that at this point bit most likely that lens is definitely going to get all of the three points which will be keeping them at the fourth position with fourth two points, nevertheless breast was still able to maintain their second position on the table ahead of lens which has invariably means that the win was more important to lens.

Lyon was able to get three points from lorient this evening after beating them to a two nill victory earlier this evening,  they had all their goals in the second half of the game and aswell dominate the game both in possession and attempts such that L'Orient was actually struggling a d literally Hoping they would be able to get a goal which they actually didn't get but then the win was deserving to Lyon.

With the quality of players owned and by playing at home, it is very natural that PSG will be the favorite in this match, especially with Reims' game declining in the last few matches and unable to maintain consistency well, I really think this could be an easy match for PSG.

It's just that in this match PSG also must not falter and underestimate Reims because they can also be very troublesome, especially the two Reims wingers whose movements are quite fast they must be aware of Ito and Daramy are still quite troublesome players so PSG cannot underestimate this match because even though they are favorites, Reims with the fast counter-attacks they always do can trouble PSG in the end.

Too bad to see that Stade Brest will lose this game. Even though I think it wouldn't really have mattered anyway, it may at least have made the league a little bit more exciting again. Now PSG has a great chance to increase their advantage to 12 points. Hopefully we will soon know more about Mbappe and what his next destination is, or is it already safe to say that he will go to Real Madrid? Haven't heard any news in a while now, which is quite unusual for him.

The match between Brest and Lens is about to happen, and spectators are sure to be enthralled by the captivating spectacle that is in store. I look forward, feeling a sense of excitement build as I picture a fierce battle. With Brest sitting comfortably in second place and Lens in a comfortable sixth place in the league standings, both teams come into the match in formidable form.Although Brest's superior ranking may indicate that they have the advantage, the possibility of Lens playing at home adds a tempting element of unpredictability. Even though Brest is thought to be stronger, Lens's home advantage might tip the odds in their favor. As a result, even though I think Brest will win, the result is still up in the air and could take some unexpected turns.

I don't think Reims will pose much of a challenge to PSG tomorrow. I expect PSG to win the match easily, without facing too much difficulty. It's not that Reims is a terrible team, but when you look at their performance this season, PSG is clearly superior. Additionally, PSG will be playing at home, which gives me even more confidence in their ability to dominate the game. Playing in front of their own fans usually brings out the best in PSG, so I believe they will appear strong and secure a comfortable victory against Reims.

but do you believe surprises can happen?
sorry about this doesn't mean I'm against your thoughts but PSG previous draw and the history of the draw between PSG vs Reims could happen again and will only end in a draw and of course PSG won't lose in this match it's just a surprise draw result is still possible occur and should think about this risk before betting.

we can see that overall PSG was previously only able to perform with a draw against Rennes, whereas at that time PSG was the host and Rennes also had a performance that was equivalent to Reims.
and all this makes many bettors hesitate to decide whether to bet on a PSG win or bet on other options and I prefer to bet on a score that is less risky to not have the risk of surprises and is comparable to the odds we will get.
Mbappe will probably remain a mainstay but you need to reconsider if you have a very quality attacking player but PSG mainstay goalkeeper suffers an injury which will definitely reduce PSG performance like Sergio Rico, who was once PSG mainstay goalkeeper.
my prediction is that PSG vs Reims will only end with a score of 3-1 and this is a prediction if PSG wins, but I have very strong thoughts if it ends in a draw.

If the draw really becomes a reality, I am sure that Enrique will only maintain the physical and fitness of the players so as not to work too hard to win in League 1 because Enrique goal is only to be able to get a new history of winning the UCL title.

There is no doubt that Nice will be completely out of the top six and it is bad result of course because after all, for the next match also Nice will still play against a team that is not easy. Therefore, it looks like Nice will get another defeat for the next Ligue 1 match against Lens. After all, when Nice is still in 2nd place in the standings also that Nice really cannot promise to be able to maintain its position there. Therefore, because of the weakness of their attack line, it is certainly difficult for Nice to be consistent with good results in every match. Of course, to target the trophy is difficult because Nice also does not have sufficient squad depth but at least, Nice must be able to maintain its position in the top four. But yes, what happens Nice will actually lose the chance to finish in the top six, because Nice's chance to continue to fall out of the top six is still very possible.

All these small teams without proper investment starts the league and have high and plenty strengths and then they look like King Of the Jungle and when the Jungle gets matured they go into hiding and oblivion. This is the story of OGC Nice whom we thought will be the contenders with PSG. Stumping Nice fell to another loss at home to Montpellier with all goals of this fixture coming in the first half. This shows how porous the defense of this Nice team and how much investment needs to be done in this team.

 With this kind of defense they’ll be seen as the worst team in any European competition talk more of the Elite UCL and I’m glad their hopes of getting to the UCL is getting dim. Nice’s early season promise looks more distant with every game after losing at home to lowly Montpellier 2-1 extended its winless streak to six French league matches on Friday. After leading Ligue 1 in the early part of the season, the club has fallen away in recent weeks.Its last league victory was on Jan, 27 and it has slide to fifth place in the table.

 This win is a major boost for Montpellier as it helps them in their battle out of relegation and it’s a crazy one for Nice as it’s the another bad result. In the QF of the French Cup, they’ll also be knocked out by PSG and this is very bad as they might try to maintain the position or go to 3rd to get a good European competition spot, they're not match for PSG and i don't think the French Giants would want to be kicked out so easily.

We need to realize that they are probably not as good as we think they are, and thats not really a terrible thing to be fair. I realize that it may take some time for people to get used to this idea, but we are talking about a team that used to be good, but hasn't been good for a long long time now. They are just getting worse, and they are losing all the time, it should be just accepted that they will finish off the season quite badly.

And that's fine, not like they can recover from here anyway, so they might as well just let it be, they won't be at high places, and they won't be getting relegated neither, so it will not really matter how much more they lose. Even if they lose every game after this, I bet that they won't get relegated.

PSG is going to face Reims in the next match at Princes Park. I think this should be easy for PSG on their home ground. Even though PSG has not been able to win the last two matches in domestic competition, this one should not be much of a challenge for PSG. We all know that the biggest challenge for PSG is actually the Champions League. And in Ligue 1 They are ahead by quite a lot of points. So even if they drop points or lose, which I do not expect them to do, I believe they are still going to be okay. But at the same time looking at the current form of Reims(L-W-D-L-L) I do not think it is going to be anything other than a win for PSG.

Seriously, this season of Nice has been a roller ride. The way they played early in the season was definitely a mixed bag. I think they hit their peak way too soon after starting out so strong. As soon as you start pushing hard, you may find it hard to keep up that level of energy. It's happened to me before: teams get fired up at first, but then they lose their drive. Whatever Nice did, or didn't do, to keep the team's form up throughout the season seems to have gone wrong. Watching them lose ground is painful, especially since they've already shown they can be strong rivals. Additionally, Lens had a rough start but now looks ready to make the most of any mistakes. As you can see, the season is not a race in any way. You need to slow down

Nice game in that game was actually quite good and even they could score quickly but indeed an own goal was the beginning of the destruction of nice's game, I don't know who is really to blame for Nice's performance at the moment whether the coach or even their players who are not motivated to rise during the draw score, if you look at the game,  Actually, the games was still quite good and even they continued to make accurate passes that could indeed provide opportunities for Nice strikers, but instead their strikers seemed to have a bit of difficulty in utilizing every good pass given by the midfielders and wingers,, eventhough they had many chances in the game but unfortunately they were not able to take advantage of it well and instead made a mistake by getting a penalty shot and making Montpelier superior as the first half came to an end.

I saw that the game seemed too easy for Montpellier in second half who were more trying to defend by counter-attacking, and I didn't see much motivation for Nice to at least try to equalize the score or turn things around, although they still dominated in the second half but the tight defense built by Montpelier actually frustrated the Nice players.,

While reading I thought you were about to say 'both teams to score' but I assume you chose a draw for betting. Actually it could have ended up with a draw as well but Nice couldn't even do that at home.    They tried much more in the second half but they didn't still have a proper xG (0.53). Because there was a serious problem on finding the target.

These days Nice started to defend their opponents worse and they can't balance it by scoring an enough number of goals. They had better hope for Lens - Brest game today to end for their own good.

It turned out that the concern that I had said before came true and surprisingly Nice lost to a weak club like Montpellier while Nice had missed a lot of opportunities several times that had been wasted like Moffi who became a striker and highly expected to be able to help Nice but could not give a good appearance doesn't even have the chance to kick the ball on target.
Everything you say is very true if Nice is actually less fortunate but also experienced a decline in performance because since a few matches ago it was very clear if Nice had no strength to be able to score victory and only be able to get a draw and 4 defeats of 5 matches.

Francesco Farioli as a Nice coach must be responsible for this bad because only he knows what the real problem happened after getting amazing results at the beginning of the season but towards the end of the season was only able to get sad achievements.
Or maybe it's true that Nice is not worthy to be in the top 5 positions competing with other popular clubs because in terms of consistent Nice is very bad only able to be too ambitions at the beginning of the season and will begin to lose stability after the end of the season.

In the last few match, Nice performance is no longer as consistent as at the start of the season, they started to lose balance and have lost a lot of points so far, so their position continue to shift, even though initially they were able to provide quite strong competition at the start of the season, but for some reason their performances has decreas and are no longer close to PSG to become runner up, they have to improved their performance if they want to compete for a Champions League ticket. If Nice gives up halfway, it is not impossible that they will fail to get it, while their rivals who are in the top 5 are trying not to made a mistake and looked better than Nice.

Yes, maybe that why Nice is starting to panic a little because they haven't been able to create many attack so far the goals they have score are minimal so it's only natural that they end up being defeat by club that are stronger in attack. Montpellier was of course very happy to get this goal contribution so they added their goals to be able to wins and sure enough they were able to steal 3 points from Nice and now their position in the standing has increased and can be said to be safe enough to avoid the relegation zone.

The relegation zone is not a place for an elite team to inherit on the table because there's more time to start bringing on stellar performance for the purpose to win matches. Irrelevant position on the table, there are key matches that brings points easily but definitely not Nice that's struggling to stand strong. Francesco Farioli is in doubt this season, there are many ways to ensure grabbing important points matches. Nice continue losing matches doesn't make any sense rather they ought to start doing the impossible by winning matches.
