PSG were already unstoppable in Ligue 1 but Luis Enrique done good experiment and give rest to Mbappé which is now going to face struggling Real Sociedad into next game for the spot of quarterfinal into Champions League with this win now they are having 11 points difference from the second spotted Nice which is today going to host Monaco which is surely another interesting encounter between these two top clubs in Ligue 1 but now as things are going to look like PSG is going to have good confidence for the rest of the season and Luis Enrique is also going to have good time in future as well because as we are having rumours about Mbappé there were few talks about PSG performance now all mouths are shut as they can bring good results at the top level in Ligue 1 without their star player and staying at the could be not problem for them.

Lyon's performance at the start of this season was indeed bad and they were in the relegation zone for quite a long time, but entering the second half of this season, Lyon is slowly starting to get up and trying to get out of the relegation zone. Lyon's last match was impressive but still quite doubtful because Lyon's performance is not yet completely stable. However, I am quite optimistic about Lyon's performance in the future because they have shown signs of improvement, but because this match is away, perhaps Lyon will experience a little difficulty when facing Montpellier.

However, yes, because Montpellier's condition has not been good in the last few matches, I am quite sure that Lyon can still beat the home team if Lyon is able to perform impressively in this match, because every point that Lyon gets is very important to improve their ranking in League 1 so that Lyon is not relegated, if Lyon wins then Lyon's ranking will increase because the points between the two clubs are the same, namely 19 points even though Montpellier is above Lyon in 13th place.

Montpellier vs Lyon

Lyon recent performance looks very impressive because they had successfully to beat 2 big teams within few days because after beat Marseille on Ligue 1 Lyon also can eliminate Lille at round of 16 of France Cup and for the host Montpellier their recent performance is not really good because they had just lost with big scores from Nice at France Cup and in Ligue 1 Montpellier was failed to gets the winning results in the last 4 matches so if we see from these statistics obviously Lyon is much better than Montpellier

Montpellier can able to beat Lyon at the begining of league but if we see from 5 latest meeting Lyon is more good because they can win 4 times and the squad conditions between these teams in the good fitness because there was no players from both teams who got injured and regarding the results of this match although Lyon performance is completely messed up this season but their recent performance is really impress me besides that Lyon also can several times to beat Montpellier at Mosson stadium which is Montpellier home ground so my predictions is Lyon can able to beat Montpellier today and the bookmakers provide high odds for Lyon @2.34

Yes, it looks like Mbappe will be saved for the upcoming Champions League match because the match schedule is approaching and Luis Enrique will definitely look after the physicality of his mainstay players and Mbappe's replacement candidate successfully scored the first score in the 10th minute, which means Enrique has a different strategy this time, it seems like the coach Also not just looking after Mbappe physically but trying to get used to being without a mainstay player and the results were quite good. Gancalo Ramos managed to contribute the first score in the match.
I think the second score was just a bonus because of an error by the Lille defender and the third score scored by Kolo Muani was extraordinary.

PSG's victory yesterday sealed the dominance of the League 1 title which PSG successfully achieved with Enrique and this gave a positive impression to the players who are increasingly confident in being ready to compete in the Champions League against Real Sociedad and as long as PSG is able to be consistent with its commitment not to lose in the leg match. 1st or better with more scores to stay safe in the 2nd leg match because Real Sociedad will be very strong if they compete at home.
What Enrique has to pay attention to in the Champions League match is how to break through the Real Sociedad defense, which is known as the strongest defender.

PSG now leads the Ligue 1 table by 11 points after defeating LOSC. Goals from Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani, along with an own goal by Alexsandro, really helped PSG. It's no surprise, PSG tends to win Ligue 1 almost every season. They consistently dominate the league match over LOSC, even without Mbappe's contribution. Ligue 1 doesn't have much competition anymore, and PSG being the main powerhouse. However, they used to face challenges when it comes in UEFA Champions League matches.

PSG didn't seem to encounter any significant difficulties when competing against LOSC. They were quite attacking and made the LOSC back line quite overwhelmed. Until in the end PSG won with a score of 3 - 1. Unfortunately, LOSC also made a very fatal mistake, Alexsandro's OG really gave PSG an advantage. Oh yes, from here, maybe we have started preparations if PSG without Mbappe can still excel in the French League. because after all, there is nothing that really competes with this club there. This will be different if they enter UCL later.

I think the fantastic development that PSG has achieved is not solely born from Luis Enrique in the French League. Because in the French League there is no team that is stronger than PSG, so it is still quite natural that PSG continues to be far ahead of all its rivals in France at the moment. The only measure of PSG's strength is when playing outside its local league, such as in the UCL for example, because there are many great teams there which can measure how good a team is at the moment.

It depends. Some players are highly dependent on getting enough practice, they feel better if they play every game possible. Mbappe is not very prone to injuries and I think if he was allowed to play some time against Lille, it wouldn't have been a mistake either. But I get the point that no coach would want to risk losing Mbappe in a game when there is not much on the line and the team is still good enough to win the game without him.

But as I said, if Mbappe played against Lille and he would have scored two goals, it would have not been a disadvantage for him. He isn't at an age yet where he doesn't recover as fast. He is physically in great shape and goals are more important to him than getting some rest I think.  

This win further solidifies their dominance in the League One standings, with a commanding lead of 11 points. This significant advantage allows PSG to shift their focus towards the Champions League, knowing that their position in the domestic league is secure. The decision by coach Enrique to rest Mbappe for the match demonstrates PSG's depth and versatility as a team. Despite not having their star player on the field, PSG still managed to secure a victory, showcasing the strength of their squad and their ability to perform well collectively.

Enrique is sending a clear message that PSG's success does not hinge solely on one individual by prioritizing player fitness and squad rotation. This approach not only ensures that key players like Mbappe are rested and ready for crucial Champions League fixtures but also builds confidence within the entire squad. With their sights set on European glory, PSG's depth and tactical flexibility will be valuable assets as they navigate the challenges of the Champions League.

This victory made Paris Saint-Germain unstoppable at the top of the League One standings, and with this victory it also made Paris Saint-Germain lead with 50 points from 21 matches, 11 points ahead of Nice, the second ranked team. While Lille is stuck in fourth place with 35 points, of course this victory makes Paris Saint-Germain more relaxed and can make the Champions League their main focus this season. This was seen because Enrique deliberately did not play Mbappe in that match, in order to maintain the player's fitness to face Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Champions League. Enrique also wants to prove that without Mbappe Paris Saint-Germain can score goals and win. So Enrique wants to say that he doesn't just rely on one player to win.

I will want to differ from this idea as kylian mbappe is the best and get such attention mostly when it comes to the french league because that's where his prowess is domicile and where you can say for sure that he's got they best of performance amongst all others in the french league but across Europe I think it's different.

If we are talking about across Europe there are better comparison you can make with kylian mbappe , this isn't me trying to dispute his brilliance of playing down on his performance a d ability to get his team the kind of results they ha e always desired but I'm only trying to say across Europe there are others in this era who are Young and are performing so we'll aside kylian mbappe and Ronaldo as you did mentioned so after Ronaldo who's undoubtedly the GOAT, in recent times there are other players who you can compare with mbappe across Europe.

Kylian Mbappe is the primary player everyone intends to gaze upon. His performances are classic and robust, and he hopes to become the most valued player in European football after Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. He is still young and has many more years of potential in football. He simply requires to make the correct decision to enhance his personal style. Forward to the current game today, Lille was unable to withstand the pressure put on them by Les Parisiens, and they struggled to secure their territory after conceding more goals to PSG, who dominated all areas of the play. 3-1, Paris Saint-Germain secured the essential victory over their opponents.

Kylian Mbappe have already feature for Paris Saint Germaine on many occasions this season and I think it was a very good decision for Luis Enrique to rest his best player in other to keep him fit for more challenging games ahead especially in the UEFA Champions League competition.
The game is in the final 5 minutes of normal time and Paris Saint Germaine is leading by three goals to one and would definitely win this particular game if you ask me. Winning against Lille who's not been consistent this season shouldn't be a big issue for Paris Saint Germaine if you ask me and I'm very sure they're gonna defend their two goals advantage and take all three points from the game.

So far, it has been a calm showing for PSG against Lille, as they lead by 2 goals to 1 thanks to a Ribiero own goal in the early stages of the second half. If PSG maintain their lead and get all 3 points; they will be top with 11 points over second placed Lille side.

It’s been a fantastic build for Luis Enrique in the French league with PSG

Giving Kylian Mbappe enough rest time is important. Luis Enrique certainly has a thorough plan before determining his line-up against Lille, but he might play Kylian Mbappe if the match doesn't go according to plan. Maybe this is a risky choice for PSG, but PSG must be quite realistic and perhaps should not rely on one player who is likely to leave at the end of the season.

This match against Lille is important, but Kylian Mbappe needs time to rest so that his performance remains optimal in the Champions League last 16 match against Real Sociedad. Luis Enrique knows the capacity of his team and the abilities of his players, so he definitely has a good plan for that. Enrique also has a lot of experience against Real Soceidad in La Liga, so I think he has the edge to win that round of 16.

Lille was already ahead by a goal at the sixth minute of the game and I had to Wonder what was it this people have for today's game because it's very unusual for them to be facing a big team as big as PSG and getting such an early goal and which seemed like they may become a problem to PSg and may put PSg at a very tight corner to win.

Interestingly the first half is yet to end and PSG is already leading by two goals already, so PSG was able to stage a come back and are now currently ahead which I must commend as very impressive as this means that by the end of the game, they may be able to secure even more goals as they have not played in the second half yet but just about rounding up the first half of the game. PSG still remains superior in this games and is most definitely going to win this game because after PSG had their second goal that kept them ahead they now perform even better than how they Started the game.

Wheter PSG really serious about preparing for the match in the Champion League later, because in this match against Lille that is going on, in fact Luis Enrique also benches Mbappe. Indeed, PSG can still win at half time with a score of 2-1 even without Mbappe . But ya, I think even if Luis Enrique still to play Mbappe in this match, I think PSG will still be fine to play against Real Sociedad later . Because after all,the first leg is also the fact that PSG will play at home and therefore, PSG will still have a good chance to still winning too. But ya, it is possible that Mbappe will be played in the second half because after all, basically Mbappe also has no problems about injuries and of course, Mbappe will also remain fine even if played in this match against Lille.

Marseille had a fair encounter earlier today against Metz, both sides also managed to net in goals for themselves. Well the outcome of the game didn't necessarily influence their table standings but it was worthwhile. It's a confidence booster for both teams. Especially for Marseille.

 They've got the Europa League encounter ahead of them and most definitely, they've got to try to act better than they've always done. They shouldn't trade chances and their opponent has for seasons past been reselient in their European quests. Let's just see how the next European cup games would turn out for all the advanced teams too. Even though it's much expected that Marseille will be the victor in the end, it's certain that it won't also be an easy stride for them too.

Yes you guessed correctly about the overall odds but they were also reduced because the result of one of the matches was invalid. I only bet on those 5 matches and there are no other queues below them. I have to admit that this is a fairly random match selection, but I know very well that the team I bet on can be closer to my prediction. So this is not a reckless bet without looking at the statistics and I do it very carefully.

Marseille is as you have said but here I have a little confidence they will recover at home. But what happened was that one of the defenders got a red card and as we know, the defender's position is the most risky position for the team to concede. Even though Marseille initially took the lead, because there were no good defenders in the remainder of the match, Marseille still conceded to Metz.

It could be very boring, but it is also not their fault. I mean PSG gets a lot of hatred because of this, but the reality is that we are talking about a team that is trying to do their best to win, what should have they done, lose? Of course they will do their best to win and because they have a very very rich owner, that makes it easier for them to win it as well.

The problem is not PSG, they are doing what they should, the problem is other teams who are not owned by same level of rich people and this causes the teams to be worse. If owners could part ways with their team and sell it to some rich person, another team could be good, there are richer people than PSG owner as well, so if another team is bought by a richer person, they could dominate the league as well, or at least bring some competition.
