When you doubt Lyon for a more difficult match against a team in the top five, but I personally still believe Lyon will still be able to give a good fight and also get a good result. Indeed, for the match against PSG it is like a match that is indeed difficult for Lyon to make a surprise. But for the match against Monaco, I personally still quite sure that Lyon will not be defeated by Monaco.

Because after all, in the first meeting about Lyon v Monaco match this season and at that time even though Lyon played away but yes, in fact Lyon still managed to beat Monaco with a score of 0-1. What's more, at that time Lyon's position was still in the relegation zone and yes, because considering Lyon's trend to be better at this time, then I am sure that Lyon will succeed in finishing in the middle of the standings and certainly will not be relegated.

Last season, PSG had a high rivalry with Lance for the first place in Ligue 1, which really doesn't happen very often in France. I agree with you that PSG don't have permanent rivals, but they are still playing well in the Champions League. Probably this season they will try to do well there again, because in Ligue 1 there is little chance that anyone can compete with them.

Clubs in Ligue 1 are indeed competitors but for now we must realize that the competition occurs only at the beginning of the season because after half of the season it becomes a dark horse not a competitor anymore .
The power differential that occurs in Ligue 1 regarding PSG and other clubs is one of the reasons that distinguishes the situation that occurs in the competition.

We always see a lot of surprise clubs in Ligue 1 such as the rise of Lens, Nice or now maybe Brest who are in a positive trend in the middle of the season this time but in the end it still won't be able to make a real competition in the race for the trophy because after all, competition for second place or position in the Europa League or Conference League may still be very possible but to make competition in the trophy position is a difficult thing.

The last time we saw a very interesting competition was in the 2020/2021 season when Lille became champions and beat PSG by just 1 point but after that in the last 3 seasons in fact PSG remained champions.
Last season there was indeed a hope where Lens always stuck tight in second place but in the end PSG could still take the trophy for the domestic competition.

Monaco used to be one of the French teams that were giving Paris Saint Germaine a good run for their money in in the battle for who wins the French Ligue 1 in the past but since they last won the French league in the 2016/17 season, they've not been able to strongly challenge for the French league title again. This season, they started with a poor and inconsistent performances which made me rule them out from challenging league leaders for the league title but considering the performance and results of Monaco in their recent games,  I think they're likely to finish the season in the top three.

In their 23rd league game of the season away at Lens, Monaco were able to deliver a great performance to claim all three points from the game and further increase their chances of finishing the season in the top three and book a place to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

As the strongest team in France, Paris Saint Germaine starts every league game as favourites to win it at the final whistle but despite the expectations of football fans in general and the club fans precisely, I don't expect Paris Saint Germaine to win  every league game they're involved in. Over the weekend, they player against Rennes in the French league and because they were playing the game at home, a lot of people staked their bets with the option that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna win the game but unfortunately for them, Rennes held them to a scored draw. Despite the result, I think Paris Saint Germaine are still gonna win the French league at the end of the current season.

Montpellier took the lead at the start of the match with a goal from Mousa Al-Taamari but couldn't hold on. Mousa Al-Taamari also scored a goal for Lyon. He has been performing well in recent weeks. Also, Montpellier came very close to scoring the second goal in this game but failed. If they had scored the second goal, Marseille might not have been able to turn the game around.
Also, I liked Pierre Emerick Aubameyang's performance in this match. One of his two goals was a penalty and the other an empty net goal, but he brought his total number of goals in the league to 8. His career has been in decline in recent years. This season he is doing well for Marseille.

It's understandable, even though PSG have experienced ups and downs in performance in Ligue 1, they will not lose the trophy when the season ends. In the Champions League, PSG looks like a mediocre club, in fact it is not the favorite team to win, unlike Madrid or Man City. But I think with the investment they have made so far, PSG is heading in that direction, to become one of the best teams in Europe.

Everything takes time, it is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, and it must be acknowledged that finances are an important factor in realizing this ambition. We can look at the examples of Chelsea and Man City, two clubs that also invest their money lavishly, but they also need a long time before they succeed in winning the Champions League.

From that point of view, I think sooner or later PSG will have the luck to become kings of Europe. PSG management certainly understands better how to manage a club, and this season they have good squad depth to make a difference, although I know that to get through the group stage they need luck. Who knows, PSG will be lucky this season, or could be lucky in the seasons to come.

In today's match of Marseille vs Montpellier team, Marseille team won the match by scoring 4 goals. Montpellier team did well at the beginning of the game but did not play well until the end of the game. In today's match, Marseille team scored 1 goal in the first 5 minutes of the game but could not score any more goals after that. Marseille  The team is 9th in the points table.

Monaco won in the match between Lens and Monaco.Monaco, who played a good game away from home, managed to increase their points to 41 with the win against Lens.Monaco, who closed the first half 2-1 ahead, equalized with a goal in the 77th minute.82. Although Bolagun missed a penalty in the 82nd minute, Minamino managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes.Lens remained on 36 points with this defeat.The race is still on for them.If they want to compete in the champions league next season, they must not let their rivals widen the gap in points.If they had won this match, the situation could have been different.At least they would have 39 points and would not have a 5 point difference with their rivals.

The points earned by Lyon are generally from their hardwork, the coach and the supporters putting in great aides to developed the team to this standard. Lyon that was ranked in the relegation zone are currently in the 10th position. The losing days are over, now Lyon are focused on making exploring winning in their matches, they just have to put more efforts in upfront matches. Lyon have faced quite more challenges than drew them back when it comes to accumulating three points. The club come together to achieved important winnings, they needed this.

Well, it is a fact that PSG will be a team that has everything to win Ligue 1, and this will be a great advance for Luis Enrique who came as a huge Alternative for the team , After having 3 great Forwards and not having achieved anything Well, it is obvious that the coach was the culprit, I know it was like that, according to the Sheikh I don't know why he left a coach for so long who did nothing but just wanted to win Ligue 1, at this time it is not obvious that the coach PSG will be the leader and winner of Ligue 1 because what they have shown, so they lose, I don't think they will achieve it, and because in Ligue 1 I don't know why they play with so much fear, it's as if the whole team revolved around them to Mbappé and that he was the one who decided Everything, in this order of ideas and Luis Enrique is taking matters into his own hands and has everything Ready to get out of Mbappé is a very Complicated player , He uses it to Score goals and then Takes it out.

I think that Luis Enrique no longer likes Mbappé's way of playing, because if he is thinking about MADRID there is Nothing to do, in fact he himself has already given the verdict that the French player will leave for Madrid and this is Almost a fact, the Things Could be very Different if you look at it from another point of view, but considering what the team can do , I'm Thinking that a solution for Madrid will be to quickly look for new players, and those players will be the ones who eventually get out of this crisis. to a team that has everything to be the best  Until now they are the best in France but they can make a difference if they start studying how to make better signings, I personally have not seen very very good players, something like Messi, CR7, no, it's Because not even Mbappé and Haaland are as good as these legends.

It’s official: Mbappe’s era at PSG is over

I wonder how Luis Enrique will do things now? Even though he is a coach who likes to work with very young players, he really needs the presence of experienced players like Mbappé. I know that they are very comfortable in their things, and this could mean a lot of money for those players. I could think that Luis Enriue's vision is good, but even more so he should not leave a team completely alone if there is no veteran player, because it is difficult, things did not go well for him in Qatar because he was thinking about that, he applied it and They said they won from Japan, of course Japan is a highly renowned team and has very good players and they have a very good football project, where they are improving more and more every day, this can bring better results, but it is because they are with the project, they still missing, that's what I heard, but in the case of PSG where they already have Ligue 1 assured, they have to think about their performance in the UCL.

The UCL is one of the best leagues in France and this can generate many things that can improve, I would be thinking that sometimes a single good player can shine here, but which one? who? where is the? This is Luys Enruqie's job and it can make a difference as soon as possible, I would be looking for players to make a new very strong team.

Lyon just staying away from the relegation zone is already very good. they show tremendous performance improvements. I hope they can maintain it. because if not, it is possible that its position will decline again. That's because the current point difference with the teams below is not that far. There are still many possibilities that could happen in the standings. but Lyon reaching the European zone might be very difficult.

Had good performance in the previous few matches has made Lyon closer to being in the Europe League zone this season, current standings Lyon remaining 8 points left and I sure they have chance for locking one spot in Europe League next season. Lyon won four consecutive matches and managed to get out of the degradation zone but not remaining many points left depend on bottom standings teams have 22 points above and Lyon position still not secure yet for relegation zone.
Lyon have to face many top teams for 11 matches later in Ligue 1, such as PSG and AS Monaco I don't sure with Lyon how potential can defeat the top teams have good performance and Lyon have to face with teams fight to Champion League and Europe League spot standings.

PSG getting this draw is actually quite sad because they should have won but in the end it was still good thing because PSG didn't lose to Rennes.
No one could have thought that Goncalo Ramos would be able to score goal in added time at the end of the match which resulted in draw, if there were no goals then it would be clear that PSG would lose and I saw this match and I already felt that PSG would lose.
Mbappe, as the player most relied on for scoring goals, also couldn't play as well as in other matches, they got various opportunities but couldn't produce good results to score goal.
Even so, they are still at the top of the standings with complete comfort because with large margin it will be difficult to surpass them.

Yes, he will be guaranteed to get the Ligue 1 title before leaving PSG, and for the UCL he will never be able to get it with PSG.

In the future, PSG will face Monaco and this is much better team than Rennes so we could see the same result, namely draw, this is just prediction and we will not know how PSG will face Monaco later.

A club like Clermont does look weak and is currently at the bottom of the points table, but a weak club like this cannot be underestimated because it can always cause difficulties or provide resistance to make it difficult for Marseille to score.
Incidents like this have often happened in the past so in future matches we have to be careful before betting on a match with a weak club like Clermont, we have to have the safest option to avoid the risk of losing and don't bet on a big club even though Clermont is against a big club, but it's better to choose to bet in another option.

According to my predictions, in the upcoming match, Marseille can still win because from the last meeting, Marseille was able to beat Clermont, but at that time Marseille was the host and this time Clermont is the host, which gives a little worry.
Jean-Louis as Marseille coach must be careful and more focused on scoring and defending his goal so that Clermont does not attack him again.
I think it is the right prediction to place a bet on double chance.

This was a hard-fought battle for the 23rd round of Ligue 1, PSG hosted Stade Rennais. In a challenging match, the league leaders managed to snatch a draw in the dying moments of the game thanks to a penalty from Gonçalo Ramos (1-1). In a match where PSG dominated possession, they struggled to create clear-cut chances and saw Rennes take the lead thanks to a brilliant run from Amine Gouiri, who managed to beat Gianluigi
 Donnarumma.

 This lead was very great to come through for them very early in the first half. Rennes should be commended for how they’ve been. In the 2nd half the performance of the club dropped and that made psg got a penalty and converted it and they made them hAd a point in this match. Well I don’t have many views on this match because they are already said to be leading the league with great points, niw they are seeming to focus more on the UCL and this is what played out in this match. You can see how the players were careful and trying to keep themselves out of injury for the UCL clash later this week. Well I think going forward PSG Will have to improve on how they play so as not to lose grip on the league and playing the way they did against Rennes over the weekend is wuite risky as if they don’t improve or play better they could be placed under pressure. The league isn’t worth that standard of being under pressure so I think it should be all wins or majorly drawa from Psg as I already see them as league winners.

PSG have a big gap in the standings, so they can play matches quietly without losing a lot of energy. Especially since they have a match against Monaco and a match in the Champions League coming up. Yesterday's draw did not affect PSG's position. Probably they will have similar matches

PSG had a really poor game and they were nearly losing as well. Mbappe and Barcola were really ineffective in the attacking line. Goncalo Ramos was the right move for the team as he scored the equalizer in the stoppage time. But is this 1-1 result a problem for PSG? Of course not. Because the gap Brest is still 9 points and I don't expect any team to get too close to PSG from now on.

Mbappe would get another Ligue 1 title before leaving but I wouldn't expect him to be champion in the Champions League this season. PSG aren't that good now. They can't eliminate Manchester City and Real Madrid with their current performance level.

Home matches can never be compared with away matches because there is always a big difference and the opportunity because I have seen a club that's not actually good in performance but whenever it comes to there home matches they hardly lose matches, so perhaps just like you said sometimes even if most clubs can lose home matches but playing from home will give them more confident and opportunity to perform more than the way they were supposed to perform on there away match.

Rennes can play well against Paris Saint Germain, especialy in defense, I really praise them for the way they defend. Even under presure, they still managed to steal a goal in the first half which made Paris Saint Germain have to work harder so that they don't lose this match. Rennes were able to end the first half with the lead they still held.

In the second half they were pressed hard by Paris Saint Germain, but they were still able to withstand every atack launched by Paris Siant Germain. I think they will really win this match because after entering extra time the score is still unchanged for their advantage. But unfortunately they had to make a mistake that eventually made Paris Saint Germain get a penalty, Goncalo Ramos who advanced as the executor successfully carried out his duties very well to make the score even.

On the one hand I'd say Paris Saint Germain were lucky that they were awarded a penalty in the final minute, but on the other hand I also see this result as well deserved for Paris Saint Germain or even if you see them play they should also be able to win this match. This result actually doesn't affect them much, even though they failed to get 3 points but the distance of their points is still very far to be pursued by other clubs who are ranked 2nd.

Clermont also succeeded in taking one point from the match against other strong teams, they managed to hold PSG, Brest and Lille to a draw so Marseille must be wary of Clermont, a team that can be said to be sure to be relegated and indeed their performance is unstable but a weak team like Clermont is often motivated to produce surprising match results even if they only hold their strong opponents to a draw.

A change of coach often provides a breath of fresh air at the start of his arrival so this might also happen to Marseille where their new coach is motivated to bring his team to win the match especially as the opponents they face are considered weak so the chances of winning are wide open for Marseille.
In the last few meetings between the two teams, not many goals have been scored and also looking at the current conditions it is very possible that something like that will happen, where Marseille can win the match but with a narrow score or if Clermont manages to hold Marseille to a draw only with a score of 0-0 or 1-1
