Sometimes we don't expect that a match that we believe is a safe bet will become a losing bet, and vice versa. AS Monaco as the team that was believed to win this match finally could only share points with Lille, it was all also because of the unexpected red card, I think if they didn't have that red card, AS Monaco might have won this match even though it was only by a small score.

No goals in the most important match of the week. Monaco drew at home against Lille without a goal. Monaco were dominant throughout the match and deserved to win the game. Lille didn't have much of a presence in the game, but at least they managed to get a point in a tough away game. Now there is a chance for PSG to close the points gap, it's down to one win and PSG will host a strong opponent at home this week. I think it will be a tough game for PSG.

This match is very important for PSG. PSG has a big chance to grab the top spot in the table. Monaco dropped points against Lille in their last match. Lille vs Monaco match ended in a goalless draw. So at the moment Monaco team is 3 points ahead of PSG. If PSG can win today's match against Strasbourg then PSG will be able to grab the top spot in the points table.

The Strasbourg team are unbeaten in their last four matches. In the last 4 matches, Strasbourg won only one match but drew three matches. Ana thinks Strasbourg will also aim to get 1 point in the match against PSG. So if PSG wants to win and grab the top spot in the table then they must play very carefully from the first minute of the match. If Strasbourg scores the first goal in this match, it will be very difficult for PSG to make a comeback in the match.

Brest vs Rennes

Brest starting lineup:
Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Ndiaye, Fernandes; Camara, Magnetti, Doumbia; Del Castillo, Ajorque, Sima

Rennes starting lineup:
Mandanda; Hateboer, Ostigard, Faye, Seidu, Truffert; Kamara, Matusiwa; Blas, Kalimuendo, Gronbaek

Brest performance is decline because they have already lost 4 times during this season in Ligue 1 and those loses is mostly from Brest away matches so these records is proven Brest has poor records to playing away but Brest has opposite records while playing at home because they can gets 3 winning streak and still cleansheet even Brest can able to win with huge scores from those matches

The condition for Rennes is not quite good because they seems lost their consistency and from 6 latest matches Rennes only gets 1 win so certainly this is good chances for Brest to taking advantages from these conditions and gets their 4th winning this season and for betting option this time the bookies provide high odds for Brest win @2.70 and this is good odds to bets

Although this result is quite disappointing but I think Monaco is lucky to get 1 point even though playing with 10 players. After Jordan Teze got a red card Lille tried to score and played aggressively but fortunately Monaco has a solid defense and Lille could only get 1 shot on target. PSG's next match will be against Strasbourg. It will be an easy win for PSG and they will overtake Monaco from the first place. If PSG win both teams will collect 20 points but PSG will be ahead on goal difference.

It's really unexpected the match will end goalless, even Monaco shots 14 times, but I'd say there's no shot that can be a threat against Lille. Lille played better in this match, their position are lower than Monaco and they play in Monaco's home, but they able brought the match to draw.

We need to know what will happen to them if they meet offensive teams like PSG and Marseille, I'm sure they can break the defense.

I watched the match. Lille's goal in this match was to score 1 point. For this reason, the Lille team played a completely defensive strategy from the beginning of the match. Monaco tried their best to score and win the match. But the team could not succeed. I haven't seen any strong attack from Lille players. Lille players had only 3 shots in the entire match. On the other hand, Monaco's players probably made 14 shots in total. Still unable to break Lille's defence. Lille were tactical in this match. And managed to get 1 point from the match. But I also thought we would see quite a few goals in this match. But neither team was able to score.

I also lost my bet because I bet on BTTS in this match. Lille's game when facing Monaco was almost the same as when they faced Madrid in the Champions League.
Lille almost scored every match. I thought even though they lost to Monaco, at least they could score 1 goal from Monaco. but unfortunately, it didn't happen even though Monaco had to play with 10 players.
Anyway, I'm not lucky in this bet. and this draw I think is not bad for Lille. let's see how PSG and Marseille earn points.

An unsatisfactory result for those who bet on Monaco's victory in this match, but this is how a match is where the result cannot be predicted with certainty even though at the beginning the favored team was more confident to win. Actually, in the game Monaco did not play badly, but they also did not play well. That might have happened because their opponents played with a defensive strategy. Monaco also had bad luck in the second half when they had to play with 10 men, like it or not it also affected their game which could no longer be as good as when playing with 11 men. The remaining time after they played with 10 men would also be wasted because it was difficult to control the situation.

I bet on Monaco Lille match with over 3.5 goals, but no goals were scored in the match.
Lille played defense-oriented football. The match turned into a lack of positions when Monaco was down to 10 players in the 61st minute.
Even though Monaco was the effective side in the match, they could not take advantage of their goal positions.
My bet lost from the first match.
You need to be careful when making coupons during national match returns.

Fortunately Monaco did not concede a goal by relying on 10 players and that was inseparable from the ability of their defense line which was quite solid and did not allow Lille to attack freely so that Monaco could get one point in the match.

Clearly this is detrimental to Monaco because PSG's chances of catching up are increasingly open with a win in the next match even though now they are four points behind where PSG have not played the eighth match. This must be an evaluation where players should not make mistakes like Jordan Teze because with these mistakes they could lose points in the next match.

PSG vs Strasbourg

This is an easy match for PSG to get 3 points in full and catch up with Monaco who are at the top of the standings, moreover Monaco also only got draw and shared points which gives PSG chance to equalize the points.
PSG has odds @1.30 and Strasbourg @9.00, clearly all the advantages belong to PSG in this match and I think making them the favorite in the bet will be very worthy to win.
I take two options to get bigger odds, Over 2.5 and PSG win gives me @1.59 and this is better than just taking win for PSG.

The match was quite intense from the start of the match and in the first half they had already collected 4 yellow cards and 3 from Lille, the meeting between the two teams is always difficult to ascertain because both teams know each other well and are quite solid when competing, seen what was done in the first half before Monaco lost one player in the second half they pressed the opponent but no one entered, and so too when Lille dominated in the second half it was difficult to say that Monaco played well enough so that there were no gaps for the opponent to exploit even though they were not at their best, a great defense in my opinion.

With Monaco's failure to win, they were quite worried because PSG would catch up and jump over them if PSG won, but that's what happens when one team is not in their best form then the other team will try to maximize it well.

This should be one of the few times Monaco failed to score at home, something I consider very disappointing because I thought it would be a safe bet placing Monaco win or draw and over1.5 goals. This was my first prediction but after realizing that Monaco will be busy with their champions league match against FK Crvena Zvezda of Serbia, I knew that a surprise was bound to happen hence I avoided the match. I am happen I took that decision, else they would have messed up my decent win tonight. It is obvious that Monaco consider the champions league match more important than the league match.

And in the end the score ended in a 0-0 draw without anyone scoring a goal. But here, I am quite impressed with Monaco's ability to hold LOSC to a draw with their condition playing with only 10 players starting from the 61st minute. Because, one of their players, Jordan Teze got a red card.

This was detrimental to Monaco, but fortunately, they were able to withstand all attacks from Lile and were still able to dominate the match. Point 1 is actually not that good, but not that bad either, especially for Monaco who played with only 10 players.

Monaco failed to win Lille tonight, a match that would have helped them continue dominating the league this season. Now they have left the door open for PSG to climb to the top of the league using goal difference since their will both be at 20 points should PSG win Strasbourg today. Despite that PSG have a champions league match this week against PSV, they will not spare any effort to win Strasbourg and climb to the top of the league and this will not stop them form winning PSV in the champions league match.

Enrique got good results with PSG so far and they are in the good form and they got good results even after Mbappe left this team. Even without Mbappe, I think now PSG got more chances for the French League and Champions League titles with Enrique in this team because they have better teamwork.
PSG is happy to have Enrique in this team and that's why they want to have Enrique for a longer time there.
The current contract of Enrique was ending at the end of this season but now it seems they want to extend the contract of Enrique for a longer time and Enrique is going to accept to stay in PSG.

I did expected a goal from Monaco but they couldn't get one in this game, they rather got red card which is a bad record to start with after the international break, literally, they may have a messy psychology for a while as they are not going to be able to cope just so well already with this kind of situation but their consolation will be in the fact that they were able to secure a point by the end of the game though they had to share point with their opponent, they had better domination in the game statistically and even more chances.

Unfortunately, both teams were unable to score in this match. There are two scenarios that I predicted, Under or Lille. However, the final result was no goals scored. Based on overall statistics, Manaco is still superior even though one of their players was given a red card in the second half. Likewise with opportunities, both in the first and second half, Manaco was much better even though they played with 10 players. As a team, almost all of Manaco's players played well even though one of their wingers did not contribute much. Maybe if Jordan Teze was not given a red card, Manaco could have appeared more dominant and had the potential to score goals. In Lille's camp, their players did not perform so well. Especially, the front line players. Several of their defenders performed solidly, also the goalkeeper who made 4 saves. Lille had the advantage in players but unfortunately, they were unable to use it to win for them. Unfortunately, Lille should have been able to use it to get full points. However, the home team's defense line did appear solid. As a result, the match ended with a score of 0-0. My guess was right with the Under option, but the choice of Lille to win the match missed the prediction. Well, Manaco must be ready for his position to be taken over by PSG.

The reason why many football faithfuls were more interested in the Monaco vs Lille game is because it's widely believed that it's a more difficult game than the Paris Saint Germaine game against Strasbourg and that's because the latter is easier to predict than the former. Monaco have been the best performing team in the the French league this season but Lille isn't a club that can be easily beaten as well.

The game between Monaco and Lille ended in a scoreless draw with the home team ending the game with 10 men.
