Practically Lyon just got lucky and the luck has helped pulled them out of the relegation not like they are a good team or anything they just probably got lucky and did defend their luck till the end of the game because it was Avery important they get such point to help them get the needed push out of relegation and probably hope to still be in the Ligue 1 by the end of the season.

Marseille was my favorite in that game, although they were playing from home, I still didn't see it as a weakness or as a reason to loose because placing both teams side by side I found out that Marseille had a better form, depth and even performance so far them Lyon but the. As the incident of football do happen, not all the times the best team do win, sometimes the weak team gets lucky and then the best team end up sharing points or loosing it all to the weak team, this had almost no effect on Marseille so there's almost no big deal in it but it was a saver for Lyon.

If I'm not mistaken, based on the betting exchange the odds available for these two teams have no difference. which means, this match is a little strange for me personally. btw, correct me if I'm wrong. because I don't really pay attention to the betting odds between the Lyons versus Marseille match. in this match, Lyon was able to win the match again, after losing to Rennes in the previous match. thus, Lyon is currently at least in a slightly safe position from the red zone. three points adrift of Metz who is ranked 16th.

Talking about this match, Marseille actually controlled ball possession with 63%. 8 total shots, 1 shot on target, 1 big chance. however, regarding technical matters, Marseille is better based on data and statistics. spoke in Lyon's kudu, despite losing possession of the ball. however, in terms of opportunities, Lyon is slightly better than the away team. Lyon had 12 total shots, 7 shots on target, 4 big chances. one opportunity was able to be converted into a goal, as well as a victory for Lyon over Marseille. at the very least, even though Lyon's performance is unstable, the team managed by Pierre Sage is progressing in a better direction. well, the Lyon coach's job is only to improve the performance of his team and maintain consistency so that they can advance to a safe position.

Another important win for Lyon indeed while trying to stay in the Ligue 1 by the end of the season. 

Lacazette has been really impressive for a long while. He has finally managed to improve his form seriously. He has 10 goals in 17 league games so far and He must have scored most of them in the recent games. His goal productivity is very crucial for Lyon on this bumpy road. The more they are productive the more likely they don't relegate. It is still hard to believe a team like Lyon in this situation but it is all due to the bad management of the team of course.

Lyon had a good performance and Marseille performed a little badly because playing away from home caused confidence to decrease but I will praise Lyon performance of being able to lead 1 score and survive until the end of the season to secure 3 additional points and on the one hand I previously believed that Lyon could still out of the relegation zone because this team is one of the popular teams in league 1 so the coach will definitely think about Lyon reputation if they are relegated from league 1.
currently, Lyon has managed to provide a difference of 3 points from Metz and in the next match, as long as Lyon is able to get 3 more points, they will be even further away from the relegation zone because Metz will play Marseille, which Metz will definitely lose.

of the several seasons, this season has been a very bad one, even though it has experienced bad times in the previous season, but usually Lyon doesn't have bad things that last long, usually this bad trend only lasts for a short time, but this season Lyon is really struggling to maintain its position and main goal what Lyon must prioritize is staying in League 1.

I do agree with you. This is why the game between the relegation clubs are very attractive compared to the big matches in the french league. I meant that if the relegations clubs were competing to leave from the relegation zone and this is much more competitive compared when PSG was always dominating the league.
Like the match between meltz vs lorient. Lorient was able getting three points and it was making the gap between any clubs are very small. The competition to leave from the relegation zone is going to be very strict. It's more entertaining to watch the match from these mediocre club.

PSG is starting to make the gap to be very big compared to the opponent and im seeing no chance for other club to take PSG's position at this time. I can only say the club like nice and brest can only compete for the second and third position since PSG has found its best form again under the new coach.
The chance to get into the first place is almost impossible. PSG keeps dominate the competition and there's no different with bundesliga. PSG needs only to trust the proces and everything will be fine.
At this point in the season, it seems highly unlikely that any other club will be able to overtake PSG's position, despite the fact that there is still a significant amount of time remaining. Based on what I can observe, the dominance displayed by PSG is incredibly substantial. PSG is gonna making the same domination like bayern in bundesliga.

PSG seems unstobble.

If we talk about who will be the champion, then yes, there is no intrigue here, it will be PSG. But if we talk about the Champions League zone, then the whole fight is still ahead, since Monaco and Lens, who are in fifth and sixth place, are close enough to compete for this place.

And with the relegation zone, everything is not so complicated, Lyon, Nantes and Montpellier do not look like those teams that can leave Ligue 1, and most likely they will move away from the relegation zone, and the last three will fight for 16th place, which will allow them to play in the play-offs matches and avoid direct relegation to League 2.

Unlike most of the top five leagues in Europe, the French Ligue 1 isn't having strong competition at the top of the league table rather the teams in the last seven position of the league table are the ones that are in strong competition to survive relegation at the end of the season.

Surprisingly, Lyon is one of the teams that are fighting for relegation this season in the French league and considering their poor performances this season, they might end up relegated unless they improve from their current poor results. Currently, Lorient and Clermont Foot are two clubs in the relation zone but 12th placed Toulouse is just five points better than the bottom club.

At the top of the table is Juventus who  I think are definitely gonna finish the season as the winners making them the winner of the league title in eight consecutive seasons.

The Choc des Olympiques derby was finally won by Lyon with a narrow score of 1-0 and Marseille again suffered bad results in the last few matches. Even though they are hosts, Lyon is actually not the favorite considering that before this victory they were still in the relegation zone and Marseille, who are actually quite good at being in 8th position, should be able to secure full points to overtake Reims.

But it seems like the prestige between the two big Ligue 1 teams has never subsided and Lyon doesn't want to waste this opportunity to beat Marseille at home. The only goal was scored by Lacazette in the 37th minute and after that no other goals were scored in this match. Now Lyon have been away for a while from the relegation zone by 3 points and they have to win again in their next game if they don't want Metz to put them in danger again.

Lyon team is not in good form this season. Even after winning this match, the team is at the 15th place in the points table. But in this match I expected marseille to win. Marseille were in good form at the start of the season. But their performance in the last matches is very poor. They have drawn in the last three matches. And in the last match they lost 1-0 against Lyon in Marseille.

However, the Lyon players played very well in the match. They dominated the match. A total of 12 shots were made by Lyon players. 7 of these were on target. However I don't see the possibility of seeing Marseille in the top 3 of the points table anymore.

IN Ligue 1, it seems more interesting to see the competition at the bottom of the table than to see the competition at the top. For now, the competition to avoid the red zone looks tight, the difference in points between each club is not too big. In fact, now there are 3 clubs that have the same points with only a difference of 3 to 4 points from the clubs in the relegation zone.
With a point gap like that, it would be very dangerous because it is still very possible for them to be chased and ultimately thrown into the relegation zone. Meanwhile at the top of the standings, we are only shown by Paris Saint Germain who continues to dominate throughout the season, yes it is very boring when you see only one club can be there and other clubs cannot catch up because the difference in quality between them is too big.

Even tho I wouldn't commend their last season performance that got them finishing at the seventh position on the table, I will still say this season was almost worse because how will they be at relegation and struggle to getting out although they have been lucky enough to have gotten out of it now, they are not a good team but considerable average team.

The victory yesterday was very essential for their survival in the Ligue 1 els they would find their selves in the Ligue 2 by next season, they are just three points away from the relegation zone of the table all thanks to the victory against Marseille yesterday but then they will still need to maintain their position or possibly make sure to still go up the table if not they still stand a risk of still falling back to the relegation on the table if they get relaxed and not trying to win more games after this which they just won yesterday. Marseille is in a very safe position away from relegation and have nothing much to border about.

I was underestimate Lyon because i think they will be failed to win from Marseille but i was wrong about that because i can see Lyon has showing good performance yesterday and their defensive lines is very solid however Lyon manager Pierre Sage was decide to playing Matic and Gift Orban since the beginning of match and just like i said before they are new players of Lyon because they just arrived to this team in January and apparently Pierre Sage has made correct decision because with played them it was successfully to increase the attacking strength for Lyon

I think credit to Gift Orban because he can adapt quickly with Lyon although he didn't scores goals yesterday but i think as a winger Orban can able to performing well and this result is very important for Lyon because after through an 2 latest matches in Ligue 1 without the winning result finally Lyon can able to return to the winning ways and it could be very special too because this winning result is come from their rival Marseille and for upcoming match in Ligue 1 Lyon opponent is Montpellier

The draw seems to be natural because the two clubs are both wanting to maintain their position and for me it is Brest who has the opportunity to win the match but it's a shame if the opportunity is in vain.
Yes it is very boring because the two clubs only survive without any pressure so that the audience will certainly be very bored if they see the same match as they survive without wanting to conceding.
I was before, even though I was very sure that Brest was able to defeat Nice and immediately shift the Nice position from the second position in the point table.

In the upcoming matches the two clubs will be the same as getting a little bigger challenge like Nice will fight Monaco who currently looks a little strong and Brest will fight Marseille.
I feel actually not a struggle for the title of League 1 that is interesting but competition to be runner-up is very interesting both clubs such as Brest and Nice are both not wanting to be tilted so that we will see the competition to get runners up because the League 1 title has been confirmed to be mastered by PSG .

Lyon was able to beat Marseille 1-0. This victory is very important for Lyon because they are out of the relegation zone. I agree with your opinion that even though they are suffering from poor performance, Lyon is still a very experienced team in Ligue 1 and they will definitely find a way to survive in Ligue 1. To be honest, this is a very bad result because last season they were able to rank seventh at the end of the season. But I hope they can stay in Ligue 1 and improve their shortcomings next season.

LOSC is pretty good team and they have managed to occupy the top 4 positions with 35 points and only suffered 3 defeats.
What is very unfortunate is that LOSC experienced draw which was almost equivalent to the victory they got.
If only draw could turn into win then it is clear that LOSC has big chance of becoming runner-up or becoming competitor to PSG, but this is French football where there is only one team that will always be superior, namely PSG.

LOSC victory against Clermont, which is the bottom team in Ligue 1, brought them to overtake Monaco and now LOSC has the same points so they still need to maintain their victory to maintain their position.
In the next match LOSC will meet PSG so there is possibility that LOSC will come under various pressures that will make it difficult for them to win, this is quite tough match for LOSC.

Meanwhile, Monaco itself will face Nice, which is currently in second place, this will be quite fierce match because in their last two meetings Monaco clearly lost.
There is possibility that in this match Monaco will also experience their third defeat.

It's quite a big difference from being a champion contender now as a team that is struggling to get away from the relegation zone, but slowly they are showing good things in the last few matches, especially the results of the last match where they managed to beat Marseille were very encouraging and that succeeded in making the ranking they rose in the standings even though it was only one place.
In the match against Marseille, it was quite surprising that the home team managed to play more effectively than the away team, who actually looked in better condition, but Marseille was only able to control possession of the ball but their attack was not as good as Lyon, and this result broke Marseille's unbeaten streak and also made them still have to fight to be able to play in European competitions next season.

And the draw result in the Nice vs Brest match made PSG more comfortable at the top of the standings with a difference of eight points and made the competition for the championship no longer interesting because it was a little impossible that PSG would fail to become champions with this large point advantage.

Whenever we talk about Lyon I remember how good they were performing in the last years when this team had a much better situation and they were in the good form because currently, they are from their good days, the Lyon we knew was racing in the top of the French League for the title while right now, Lyon is trying to get in the better situation and they are worried about getting relegated.

Lille gained great morale by winning the match with 4 goals. It was not difficult to predict that they would win against Clermont, but a 4-goal victory surprised me too. A good match and a 4-goal win must remind Lille of their happy days. In the current match, Lyon is playing against the tough team Marseille. The match is almost over and Lyon's 1-0 lead continues. Lyon now feels like a great team, just like in the old days. The top ranked teams have to be more careful against them.

I don't know what the update is on Mbappe and Madrid for that matter as ive fallen behind in following the story on this player as it's too boring to keep discussing Mbappe and Madrid for the foreseeable future with things like this just being an exaggerated rumor.
But when it comes to PSG losing half their strength and becoming the same club we see today in Ligue 1 it seems like it could be fifty-fifty and it could also be wrong.
I dont want to argue your point but come on they are a rich club so with their money they can still bring in new players to replace Mbappe if he really leave, even though in the end his performance will definitely be below Mbappe but still the situation of PSG will remain at full strength and will still dominate Ligue 1 because their backbone and the financial resources they have are more than enough to make PSG play well even without Mbappe in it.

Well PSG are the kings of the French League and it’ll be pretty cool if they keep on winning which is as expected. Though many believed Strasborg will be able to stop them especially after they fell to a draw against Brest but it seems like they’re not a top team to challenge PSG.

 Well PSG got all 3 points owing to Goal contributions of Mbappe and Asensio. Well The win against Starasborg takes Psg 9 points away from Nice on the standings and this is going to be much of a worry for Nice though many don’t expect Nice to give PSG much a headache.Nice if they still got any hope on challenging for the title, then they’ll have to try to defeat Brest and this is going to be one tough encounter as Brest are a good side. Well I don’t think Nice will be able to challenge them as PSG are crowned champions of the league.
