There are big differences between squads in League 1. Paris SG has important players and has been the strongest team in League 1 for many years. We cannot see them losing the championship easily. Lille managed to do this once in the past, but I don't think they will have such a threat this year. They will win the league comfortably. I think what will really make them think will be the UCL matches.
Lillie can't be a threat to to PSG this season not in the present form PSG is and the form Lille is as at this time, both team have got an unequal strength and depth so I don't see it possible that they will be able to repeat that which they did in the other season, some how they were just lucky that season they won the league.

This season they are far behind PSG and the only close competition with PSG has to be Nice but even Nice is still far away from PSG too so it's very much possible they will not be able to have that opportunity this season again to win the Ligue 1 title, it's most obvious that PSG is in a better position to win this season as Lille hasn't been brilliant enough to repeat that which they did seasons back. They can work towards the UCL qualifications as that is very much possible and visible with them than winning the Ligue 1 title this season.

yeah, we expected PSG to easily beat Brest. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Pereira, and Ramos sealed the deal. It was a solid outcome after a strong performance. With goal against Brest, Kylian Mbappe now has thirty goals for the season, and PSG smoothly advances to the next round of the French Cup.
PSG will try to do a double, their victory over Brest was expected, especially since Luis Enrique did not experiment with the lineup and the winner of this match was already determined in the first half.

I was surprised by another French Cup match, where Lyon beat Lille. It is surprising that Lyon has a desire to move on in the cup when they have such a precarious position in Ligue 1. However, this could be like a desire to be realized in the cup when they understand that everything is over for them in Ligue 1. But it seems to me that PSG will not give up the cup, they have become too strong now.

Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Brest
Meanwhile, PSG beat Brest according to predictions, especially since they played at full strength, so we can say they are also targeting to win the title in this competition.

Coupe de France
Lyon 2-1 Lille
Seeing Lyon manage to win two matches in different competitions was quite encouraging, especially since the two teams they beat were teams that were in better condition than them, so this raised hopes that Lyon would be able to escape the relegation zone and go further in the French Cup.
Luckily, I didn't place a bet on this match because it was certain that Lille would win with their overall performance. But what happened was the opposite and Lyon managed to beat Lille with a narrow score, this is a result that was beyond predictions and maybe Lyon still has hope before this season ends.

In Ligue 1 their focus is to survive and there is no other result they can hope for because they started this season very badly and have been in the relegation zone for months beforehand. Now they have another hope of winning the Coupe de France title and we know it is quite difficult but with the motivation they have they can go even better. Now Lyon will try to maximize the two competitions that are still active and they fully hope they won't get another bad result at the end of the season.

Currently Lyon is only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. It was not a favorable situation for them. However, I agree with you that Lyon's quality will not make them relegated at the end of the season. Just a few wins and they will stay in the league. I think Lyon also wants to win games in the French league and cup. But the problem is, is Lyon capable of doing it? What do you think if they were in a situation where they had to prioritize one of those two games?
Personally, I think they will try to prioritize the French Cup because to stay in the league they still have many opportunities in the future.
Lyon will definitely be able to survive in the French League for next season because if Lyon starts to find their best game again in the remainder of this season, I think Lyon will be able to be in the top 12 of the standings which will make them quite safe from relegation. Because I see that there are three teams above whose points score is not that far from Lyon and in fact two of them are the same as the points that Lyon has currently obtained.

PSG have a Lille game ahead which is to be played in two days. Probably they will win this one by a decent score unlike their previous result which was 1-1.

However I must admit that I really didn't like PSG against Strasbourg last week. Especially in defense I mean. Because Strasbourg found so many big goal opportunities. But they were really terrible about finishing them up with goals. If there was a much more capable team than them PSG might have lost the game badly. Therefore PSG should focus on improving their defending. Especially in the Champions League this will be needed a lot.

I wanted to look if there were still any rumours linking Mbappe with other teams and saw this on Transfermarkt:



Source: https://www.transfermarkt.com/kylian-mbappe/geruechte/spieler/342229

Real Madrid aren't even in this list which made me really surprised. I mean how?  Grin  Real Madrid have been the most linked team for him for a long time as you also know. Let's say Mbappe stated his wishing to leave PSG this summer. Then I don't think Arsenal would be his first choice. I don't think Bayern Munich are really interested in him too. I think it is the weakest link.

I expect Liverpool or Real Madrid to be Mbappe's next team if he decides to leave. Liverpool will need to find a replacement for Salah if he leaves in the summer.

Real Madrid have already been thinking of this signing for a long while but they must have waited for the right time.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich don't have big budget to buy Mbappe or to pay him very high salary he wants. Arsenal don't have any chance to get Mbappe because if they are not better, more competitive than PSG in Champions League. Not yet about their lack of budget, they can not satisfy Mbappe's desire to win Champions League.

Liverpool will lose Klopp in the summer and it might trigger big changes in their club. Mbappe will not want to join a club with uncertain future like this.

Bayern Munich already bought Harry Kane last summer and they will not be ready to spend huge money for Mbappe. Even they have not bought Kane, they would have not sign with Mbappe because it will break their salary ceiling.

Only two potential destinations for Mbappe, Real Madrid and Manchester City and look at Manchester City with Haaland there, Mbappe will not want to join a club that has his biggest individual competitor. Sum up, it seems Mbappe will either stay in PSG or move to Real Madrid.

Injury is the best thing that can ruin a player's career; we have seen a lot of players fail to reach their potential due to injuries, and Dembele is one of them. Before his injury, he was one of Dortmund's greatest players, and opponents used to be afraid of him during games. However, because of his injury, his performance changed, even though he could still perform well and even dribble quickly enough to score a goal when he moved to Barcelona. Barcelona also liked Dembele and wanted him to be one of their future players, but he chose to leave Barcelona in order to join PSG.

I didn't see Dembele's fault because he is a player with big dreams and wants to win as many trophies as possible, but this season his own in PSG is not that good in my opinion because since he joined PSG he has not scored more than three goals. I believe that Dembele left Barcelona because Barcelona could not give him what he wanted. You will see that Barcelona fans don't like him again as a result of Dembele's departure.
Injury is one occurrence that affects the player and his team squarely. It occurs as a result of so many conditions that the players generally have to pass through. Although, there's what they call injury prone and non-injury prone players. Not all players experience injuries as frequent as some players while some players are unlucky to just be caught in the web and this would keep them out of the pitch for a long while. Unending stress is a very big cause of injuries, no rest, no breaks, always active on the pitch playing and earning.

 Now there are domestic games and international games too, but it tends to be that there are a whole lot of international games and this games as they come do not give the players time to rest because after each one, they'll still have to travel for the next contest. All these affects the physical system of the players and the ones that are not too strong to combat the stress are then prone to injuries. It's sad that some teams would have to endure the injury situation and the players would have to take some time to regain their health and stamina to play again.

Montpellier 1-4 Nice
And Nice, who scored four goals in one match, was quite surprising because they are a team that can be said to not be too persistent in scoring lots of goals, at least that can be seen in Ligue 1 matches where their average goal is only 1 per match, but this time they managed to appear aggressive in scoring. lots of goals.

And Monaco will face FC Rouen and I doubt there will be any surprises in this match in fact it is very possible that Monaco will win it easily and score more than two goals.

I'd say it won't  be too difficult for  Lyon to stay out of the relegation  zone now. The team's performance at the beginning  of the season was very poor. Lyon was in the last  position of the table for a long time. But Lyon's  performance at the moment is  good enough. Despite not consistently performing well, Lyon's players have been able to play well and earn points against relatively weak teams.

Lyon beat teams like Marseille in the last match  of Ligue 1. Lyon won 1-0 against a strong team like  Lille in the FA Cup match. Lyon is now 3 points ahead of Metz  and Lorient. i think This gap will widen further in the next few weeks.
regarding Lyon match against Lille in the Coupe de France competition, it was beyond the fans expectations, I even said that it was possible that Lyon would not focus on other competitions apart from just focusing on improving their position in League 1, but it was very surprising to be able to beat Lille and this might be an early sign that Lyon can improve its performance in league 1.

and for Lyon performance in league 1 it looks like this team only needs consistent wins of at least 2 or 3 consecutive wins to stay away from around the relegation zone and in the upcoming match against Montpellier.
if Lyon is able to consistently get 3 points from Montpellier and Toulouse ends up drawing against Nantes, I'm sure Lyon can be in 12th place in the standings and this is an opportunity for Lyon because they get an opponent who is not too strong and I'm sure Lyon will have no difficulty continuing to improve its performance.

I do believe that they will do better from now on, not only to fans but they also provided proof to themselves that they can beat anyone, meaning that they should be able to win these games and do fine, and I think that will definitely be important for them. Morale and confidence means a lot for a team and now that they have seen what they can do, I think they will do better for sure.
All Ligue 1 football fans would want Lyon to get out of the pressure of the degradation zone, but they must try to reach their own stages of consistency in playing because if not the opportunity is degraded is very large. Victory is something they must get even though in the coming matches a little more difficult because Lyon has to face a much stronger club. The challenges will be more difficult because the distance from the degradation zone is not far so that any possibility can happen if they don't try to play stronger.

I am still quite optimistic that Lyon can get out of the relegation zone but when the coach does not try to evaluate the weak point then they will be quite difficult. They only need to think about staying in Ligue 1 because it is far more possible than expecting other things that are not possible Lyon can achieve.

I think they will attach importance to both tournaments. Of course, staying in the league is important, but they will also want to advance in the French Cup. They don't have a bad squad for League 1, but I still don't understand how they played such bad matches at the beginning of the league. Fortunately, they have risen significantly with consecutive wins. I think this will continue. I don't think they will have any problems staying in the league.

Currently Lyon is only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. It was not a favorable situation for them. However, I agree with you that Lyon's quality will not make them relegated at the end of the season. Just a few wins and they will stay in the league. I think Lyon also wants to win games in the French league and cup. But the problem is, is Lyon capable of doing it?

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.


My knowledge about Ousmane Dembele started when he was still at Borussia Dortmund and I can categorically say that he's one of the most talented footballers I've ever seen but his biggest problem as a footballer is that he's always suffering injuries and that has limited him from achieving everything he was supposed to achieve as a footballer.
I was happy to see him move to Paris Saint Germaine last summer and was optimistic he was gonna make great impacts at the club but unfortunately for him, he's been limited by injuries. Now that he's back to fitness, I hope he doesn't pick injury anytime soon

Injury is the best thing that can ruin a player's career; we have seen a lot of players fail to reach their potential due to injuries, and Dembele is one of them. Before his injury, he was one of Dortmund's greatest players, and opponents used to be afraid of him during games.

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.
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.
Saying that a performance was perfect is quite relative because if you take a team that nobody expects to reach the top 3 or the top 4 in a league and then the team reaches the 2nd position, is it a perfect performance? But this is not the standard by which teams should be measured in Ligue 1. The true standard is PSG. If they can compete with PSG and really threaten them to lose the title, then it is a perfect season. But the reality is that PSG could gear up their performance any time and it would be enough to win Ligue 1. It is not like that in the Champions League, but they can win Ligue 1 anytime they want.
There are big differences between squads in League 1. Paris SG has important players and has been the strongest team in League 1 for many years. We cannot see them losing the championship easily. Lille managed to do this once in the past, but I don't think they will have such a threat this year. They will win the league comfortably. I think what will really make them think will be the UCL matches.

The strongest team in Ligue 1 is PSG. And with the help of Luis Enrique, this team is now very strong. Although the team's performance was erratic at the beginning of the season, now their performance is stable. So PSG won't have to face any tough hurdles to win the Ligue 1 title. PSG are now 8 points clear of second-placed Nice in the table.

Luis Enrique will probably now try to do well in the Champions League. However, PSG is slightly weaker than Manchester City, Munich or Madrid. However, Enrique is an experienced coach. My guess is if PSG can keep up this kind of performance and if Mbappe plays well, then we will see PSG in the Champions League semi-finals.

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.
Current standings awhile, Lyon remaining three points left from relegation zone and actually their position not secure yet during the relegation zone have motivate for winning Ligue 1 matches left and secure their position for next season. Have good performance currently and Lyon success moving from relegation zone behind their position not secure yet, crucial winning against Marseille in Ligue 1 and last winning match against Lille in French Cup more motivate for Lyon improving their performance on upcoming match.

Three matches later, Lyon have difficult opponent team from away match against Montpellier and face Nice before facing with the relegation team Metz will make crucial for Lyon how to get three points on all upcoming matches. Usually need to reach about 41 points if want secure the position from relegation and Lyon still need more points.

Lyon has to fight very hard not to be relegated, and soon they can catch up if they continue to win, being in the middle of the table this season is not a bad thing for Lyon because at least Lyon can still improve their performance in the next season rather than having to be relegated.
Today Lyon just won the match over Lille in the French Cup even though this is not the main match but at least Lyon remains focused on achieving good results in all the matches they play.

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.
No club wants to be in a scary zone like the relegation zone, we also don't think that Lyon is experiencing a very deep decline even though we all know that Lyon is not a weak club in League 1. And I'm sure that slowly but surely Lyon can improve their performance gradually and get out of the relegation zone because Lyon still has several games to play and hopes not to lose points, a draw can help a little even though it only gets 1 point but at least it is better than Lyon having to lose points completely.

I think Lyon have prospect to avoid relegation considering their improvement. They should just be focusing on their efforts to avoid relegation. Lyon has been making strides to improve their position in the league standings that shows promising signs of climbing out of the relegation zone. Gaining points in their remaining games is crucial for Lyon, especially the games which have big possibility to win, to ensure their safety and stability in the league.

There will be matches that present an opportunity for them to accumulate points. Considering the goal margin is important, as it can serve as a tiebreaker in the event of teams being level on points. Efforts, determination, and a proactive approach are key for Lyon to navigate through this challenging period. They need to maintain focus, avoid complacency, and fully commit to the battle ahead. Lyon possesses the capability and strength to compete effectively and secure their position outside of the relegation zone.
