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.

Yesterday I said in the previous post that the match between Brest and Nice ended in a draw. and yeah, this match ended with a score of 0-0. previously, I reviewed these two teams. if Brest will not overthrow Nice, which has a fairly solid defense. however, Nice has shortcomings in its unproductive attack line. so, it seems that the Nice coach only relies on counter attacks if they have them. That's also why in 20 matches in Ligue 1, Nice was only able to score 20 goals. even in this match, of the 13 total shots, only 1 was on target, there were no opportunities to threaten the home team.

On the other hand, at least the home team was better than Nince, both in terms of ball possession and opportunities. but unfortunately, not a single opportunity was able to be converted into a goal. well, it seems like there are a lot of losers betting on these two teams. moreover, those who hope for the home team. I think referring to the previous match, Brest was lucky to draw against PSG. however, many thought that Brest was able to provide its best version of resistance. even though, Enrique is trying to experiment and make the debut of his new player. as a result, it ended in a draw. however, when they hosted Nice, Brest was unable to score a single goal. and yeah, what is clear is that PSG's position at the top of the standings remains safe as long as the teams below them do not have strong competitiveness in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

There's nothing to worry about, Lyon is a team with experience and I think they will find a way to just stay in Ligue 1 next season. It's true, things won't be easy for those suffering from their performance, but the long season gives Lyon a lot of hope. Lyon is inconsistent and they have experienced 2 consecutive defeats in their last 5 matches, this has disturbed the morale of the players.

In this match, Marseille is a tough opponent and it will not be easy. Lyon is playing at home and will probably give him a slight edge instead of being overlooked. I don't know, they could get 3 points or lose 3 times in a row, but so far the match is still difficult to predict who the winner will be. 30 minutes without a goal, both minimal efforts despite Marseille dominating the game.

Winning against PSG is near impossible this season because Strasbourg isn't in any good form as PSG and they have no strength enough to contend with PSG, they have not been really great with their performance this season and are just at the tenth position on the table with 25 points.

I will still commend Strasbourg regardless for been able to get a goal against PSG as against them been a bigger team over them with a better squad then Strasbourg. pSG is the beat contender for the Ligue. 1 title this season and have so far been performing so we'll and leading at the top of the table with a very good grade, they  PSG has not relented in keeping their position at the top of the table and even NICE which has been in their best form recently has not been able to still meet PSG yet.

I think the only thing interesting for PSG right now is actually the coach. Other than him I do not find anything interesting in PSG right now. There is no competition in the league. They are just farming in the domestic trophies every season. This is just dumb in my opinion. If you are the richest and you do not have any competition, at least you could be ready for the Champions League. That's the only thing which counts. Meanwhile, they are throwing around money and not being able to actually make a good squad.

Lyon is not going to win the match. Height they can do is get 1 point from this match. And I think that is the best case scenario for them.

To be fair Lyon is doing fine, they are still at relegation zone that is true, but not only they are at "playoff" part of it, but they are also quite close to levels they could get out, that three game win streak giving them 9 points was super important, even if they lose this one, they could win another one and still get out.

As a relegation zone team, they can't expect to win every game, so they need to end up with some losses, it's only natural. The important part is to get enough points averages for the rest of the season that would be better than the team above them, if they can do that then they could get above and stay in the league. I think looking at how points are tied at 16 there, it's clear that as long as they win just one more point, they will be fine.

Le Havre's performance was truly impressive. They were able to answer some fans' doubts and are currently in 11th place in the standings. This is a pretty good result because it is likely that they will still be playing in Ligue 1 next season and they can improve their squad by bringing in several players when the transfer window opens.

Brest vs Nice has passed the 67th minute and the score is still 0-0. If the match ends in a draw this will be a bad result for both teams. I'm not thinking about catching PSG in first place because that would be an impossible outcome. But a draw will put Brest and Nice in danger of being replaced by Lille and Monaco because the difference in points is very small between the four teams.

Note: The match ended in a draw. Not good for either team.

Actually Clermont performance in this season very bad but they still has benefit for existing in Ligue 1 next season, has one point left from Lyon on the latest relegation zone seems not difficult for Clermont winning in several domestic matches left. Clermont relegation standing awhile helped by the higher team above with few points left and most of bottom standings team has the same conceded goals from Lorientz, Metz and Lyon.
Brest failed to close their points with 2nd standings team Nice after playing draw against Nice, both teams left 3 points and the Champion League spot standings by Brest still not secure yet with Lille and AS Monaco has remaining one point only.

Clermont's performance is very bad, in fact, of the 20 matches they have played since the start of this season, they have lost 11 times. while LOSC is a pretty tough team this season, they have been in the top 5 since the last few weeks, so far they have only lost 3 times, so it is very natural that Clermont can be beaten easily by LOSC.
Brest failed to take advantage of the opportunity to win the match vs NICE, even though the match took place at their own home, if only they had managed to win then Brest would definitely be in 2nd place at this time.

Brest fails to end deadlock as things are going very boring in this top match for the second spot in Ligue 1 after 80 minutes we have no goal with most chances Nice which is mostly playing in this season with their defensive tactics will be able to have draw which will keep them at the second spot and Brest had to wait some more weeks to having this second spot because after this we have next game Nice vs Monaco and Clermont vs Brest which can bring some good changes in this league table.

In this boring match until now we have nearly two dozen shots on goals but nothing good happening and both will be surely satisfied with this one point as well, specially Nice which is having the worst attack with just 20 goals from their all games in this season.

It seems like Monaco had a bad luck in this home match because yes, in fact Monaco dominated the match and not only that, the goal that happened for Le Havre was also an own goal. Therefore, I think Monaco did not play badly completely just, Monaco had an unlucky day in this match so even though Monaco managed to dominate the match but Monaco only got 1 point because match end with draw. Therefore, I think Le Havre has good luck at this moment but with that result, of course Le Havre still remains in the middle of the table and of course it remains a good result for Le Havre as a promotion team this season.

Le Havre which is having first season here in Ligue 1 doing impressive job with their performance as today they hold Monaco as they have impressive wins against Nice and Lyon which bring them in the middle of the league table after 20 rounds and most chances if they keep this level they could be going to be ended in the first half of the league table which will be amazing for them.

Today we have disappointing day for the Monaco as they are now having just 1 win from their last games with 17 shots on goal but just one goal which give them just 1 point and now most chances they will be dropped to fifth with next game is also going to be challenging as they are going to visit Nice which is also having good performance and chance of staying into top three spots.

You can tell they tried hard to score, but failed. This is a challenging break, especially against PSG, when you must take every opportunity. Strasbourg seemed to lack mental toughness, especially in the first half, when facing PSG. PSG's resiliency is admirable. Mbappe missing that penalty may have been depressing, but his subsequent goal displays his champion mentality. PSG's top status is solidified and its competitors, notably Nice, are warned by this win. The way PSG recovers from setbacks like their draw with Brest maintains them ahead in the race

This victory shows that the two clubs competing are at different levels, so the host can win with a landslide score. They attacked right from the first minute and they managed to create 4 goals in the first half. But in the second half they seemed to play more relaxed because they were already superior with a landslide, they could create several opportunities, but could not produce goals.
Clermont are at the bottom of the table, while LOSC are at the top, so this victory was predictable. Actually LOSC also still has a chance to be in competition with Paris Saint Germain, but they also often show inconsistency during this season which ultimately makes it difficult for them to get closer to Paris Saint Germain who are at the top of the standings.

We've seen so many surprise results in the French Ligue 1 this season and some for them also came from matches that Paris Saint Germaine were part of so I wasn't surprised that some people were expecting Strasbourg to overcome Paris Saint Germaine in the French Ligue 1 game they played yesterday.
Last two weeks in the league, Brest came from two goals down to draw level with Paris Saint Germaine and claim an important point from Parc des Princes. In football, we  believe that everything is possible but I wasn't part of the people who thought that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna lose to Strasbourg just because they failed to beat Brest. Winning the French league this season is a must for the reigning champions and I don't see anything stopping the from retaining the league title

I can't understand why some people expect to see a team like Strasbourg win the game against PSG and score more goals than this team. Strasbourg is not a strong team and if you compare it with PSG you can understand they got definitely not have any superstar players like PSG has and that is not a good coach like PSG has. I think even seeing Strasbourg making problems for PSG was a lot and they did a great job getting a 2-1 result.

In French Soccer League LOSC vs Clermont Foot two teams have entered the field to play. LOSC team is now leading with 4 goals. Clermont Foot team has not scored any goals yet Clermont Foot team is trying hard to score Clermont Foot team does not seem to have any goals  Can do in this match. Clermont Foot team is in the 18th position of the points table. Clermont Foot team did not perform well in the previous matches.

I am not agreed with this statement that after exit of Kylian Mbappé PSG's strength will be decreased by 50% because they are currently working on their team and players which are under their radar for the future and as they have sources they can bring good quality striker which will be surely good for them and their future even maybe this change could be also positive for them in future because after these things can go good for the rest of the team as well.

Lyon is surely having good time even their performance is unpredictable, but they can turn the tables into their favour which will help them for having stay here into Ligue 1 for the next season and also increase their quality and performance for the future as well because they are big club in this league.

Sorry friend, you are too funny if you say PSG will become a mediocre team just because Mbappe left PSG , do you know that PSG wealth is still very far above the clubs in Ligue 1?, and Mbappe PSG departure will of course not have a big impact on PSG, with the money power that PSG currently has, of course it won't be difficult for them to get another player who could be even better than Mbappe in the future, so it's impossible that just losing Mbappe will make PSG a mediocre team unless Mbbape is a PSG investor .
I actually agree with @Godday, because as long as other clubs in Ligue 1 can't match the money power that PSG has then no club can break PSG's dominance and I'm also quite sure that PSG will continue to dominate even when they lose Messi, Neymar and now also Mbappe are reportedly also going to Madrid.

Even though the two teams are in quite different rankings and the conditions can also be said to be different, at least in five matches Marseille has managed to become an unbeatable team, even though three of them were just draws, while Lyon, after three consecutive wins, actually experienced two consecutive defeats so that their position hasn't improved, but that doesn't make it easy for bookmakers to choose the favorite team to win this match because both get the same odds @ 2.70.
Their last three meetings were won by Marseille but this will be different because even though Marseille are better, their away games can be said to be quite weak because they only won one with four draws and a loss so Lyon getting one point is possible, moreover they still have to fight to avoid the relegation zone and earning points in every match is very important.
