Oh, I have just noticed Reims in the standings.  Grin  They are at the fourth place? I didn't even know they were performing that good so far. Maybe they will be this season's Brest.  Tongue

The thing I remember about them was the Will Still era. He was doing pretty good at first for a person who didn't have any manager experience before. You know his story related to Football Manager and so on.

But things started to go sideways and he left his job. However it seems like they have put things on the right track again. But they seem horrible in defense. Conceding 10 goals... It can cause them to lose their form easily. Do you think we would see them in top four at the end?

Marseille is one the oldest teams in France and they are usually on the top side of the table even in the past years. I remember when Lyon was stronger in French Leageu one we had two teams racing for the title Marseille and Lyon and the game between these two teams was interesting to watch for people. Now Lyon is not strong anymore and they are not in the good form but still, Marseille has the good form they had before and they are having a good performance.
I think Marseille can easily beat Montpellier and if they do that, they can keep themself at the top of the table yet.

Marseille last end ended against Angers in a draw that shouldn't be so as Marseille dominated the game and they were supposed to win. The had a possession of over 70% while Angers were just defending and that was what saved them in that game. Marseille has been decent this season and they're now third on the table, just behind Monaco and PSG. They still have a chance to close the gap by winning their game against Montpellier after the international break. That game isn't going to be tough for Marseille as they have very good record against Montpellier. The season is just beginning so I can't say for sure if Marseille is going to be in the title race but they're playing as a team that wants to win.
They have won 4 times, drawn 2 times and lost 1 time from the 7 matches they have played, in my opinion that is not a bad record, but they should have achieved more than that, especially when facing teams that are on paper weaker than them, one of which was when they faced Angers. They have collected 14 points at the moment, 3 points behind Paris Saint Germain and 5 points behind the leaders, Monaco. I think that is not too far away, as long as they can get 3 points consistently. Marseille has the capital to do that, it's just that they have to execute it well. They also have a long history in Ligue 1, they have to be able to return to how they used to be, that should be a motivation for them.

This season Marseille can still be relied on and are expected to be a title contender because Marseille still has enough strength to make that happen so I also don't think Marseille will have any trouble when playing at Montpellier's home in the upcoming match. Besides that Montpellier themselves are also not strong enough this season and that has been clearly seen when Montpellier were defeated by Reims and now Montpellier are in a very bad position in the Ligue 1 standings.

[...] This happens every season, we see PSG have just a bit of a bad game and suddenly we see them considered "this season will be different, they will be horrible" but we see how they are not actually horrible and we are going to end up with a much better result. We are going to see PSG be the champions, no matter who manages to win against them, in the end the league will be theirs. Until this whole Paris FC takeover thing at least.

It is a unique fact in the farmer league, we see teams that usually win do not perform well at the beginning or middle of the season, but suddenly when all the domestic league agendas are over, they become champions in their league. One of the many farmer leagues is Ligue 1, the real champion in leagues like this is the team that is in second place, like last season in Ligue 1, AS Monaco managed to get that. By the way, it seems we haven't paid enough attention to Marseille, they are currently in top form, with Greenwood as the top scorer of the team.
Well, if we look at the whole thing, there is actually nothing special about Paris Saint Germain's game, but even so, they are still the best in Ligue 1. This is because of the inability of other teams to play well consistently, so they easily decline after they have been able to occupy the top of the standings for some time. There are many moments that we can see where Paris Saint Germain was not at the top of the standings at first, but they had inconsistent competitors so it didn't take long for them to return to their usual place. Even though at the beginning of the season there were actually several teams that could play well, when we expect them to continue to perform like that, at the same time they will decline.

Marseille have lost a little bit of a pace recently. Especially that meaningless draw home against Angers...  Sad  However I don't feel like it will take them much long to recover. Their next game is against another team having difficult days like Montpellier. Most probably they will make up for that 5 points loss in 2 games. They look dedicated this season.  Wink

The team I'm worried about the most is Lyon. I hope they don't hang around the relegation zone in any part of the season this time. They still look inconsistent despite the recent wins. We need to see more of it. They should play taking the name of this team into account too.
Yes you are right Marseille seems to have lost their balance lately when they played against Strasbourg they suffered a defeat after that against Angers they only managed a draw even though their opponent was a promoted club with poor performance and was at the bottom of the standings who had not won at all I hope after the international break Marseille can return to being a tough club like in the beginning so they can continue to compete with the top 3 teams and against Montpillier they should have been able to get 3 full points to make up for the previous points lost.

Talking about Lyon is not yet completely stable but I think they are still safe after all they are still far from the relegation zone even though they are unstable the most important thing is that they do not continue to experience defeat which will make them even more depressed. It seems like they are indeed going through difficult times.

The results of losing and drawing in the last two matches worsened the situation that at the beginning of the season played consistently and now a little out of control, but Marseille also played badly they were often punished with red cards and yellow cards in every match and I think they are too emotional can not control the game because of the pressure they have to face with violence, I think they need time to recover and the next match away I doubt they can produce 3 full points even though their opponents are below them.
For now Marseille is still in the top three after playing seven matches with a score of 14 points and that is certainly not a bad result for a team like Marseille because currently the team is only three points behind PSG and five points from Monaco who are at the top of the standings. And for the next match I think Marseille could win again because considering their opponents are not strong enough even though Marseille will be the away team in the match. However, head to head I have not seen Montpellier able to beat Marseille in Ligue1.

I think there is no doubt to say Marseille win against Montpellier later, because Montpellier is currently also in the relegation zone which of course Montpellier does not have a good performance to beat Marseille. Although indeed, at least Montpellier can still make its best efforts at least not to lose at home, and the best result for Montpellier is a draw,but I think it will still be difficult for Montpellier to get a draw in this match. Because anyway, so far in Ligue 1 at least Marseille has played against teams that are not entirely easy,  but Marseille still managed to win despite playing away and thus, no wonder about Marseille who is currently in third place, so I believe  Marseille has a very good chance to be able to beat Montpellier later.

Monaco is a team that can beat Lille. But Lille is doing very well this year. They have a good performance in the Champions League. Monaco is also doing very well in both the Champions League and the league. They passed Paris Saint-Germain in the league standings. I don't know how long this success will last, but I think this match could end in a draw. Another possibility is that Monaco could get the three points because they are playing on their home field. I don't think Lille can win.
So far Monaco has never lost even once, the worst result is only a draw and that too only once, the rest are wins. So, they will definitely maintain that position when they face LOSC later.

But on the other hand, LOSC is also on fire, especially after successfully defeating La Liga giants, Real Madrid, in the UCL. So at least they will be much more motivated. So, this will be a pretty exciting match later.

And even seen from the H2H, both seem to be equal with the number of wins and losses, including the draw result. So, maybe this will be good if it's a draw. haha

If you look at the head-to-head record between Marseille and Montpellier so far, they are still quite ahead of Montpellier with the last 31 meetings, Marseille won 16 times, while Montpellier only won 7 times, while the two teams draw in 8 matches so far, So this shows that Marseille has a good enough chance to win even though they play away later, but even so, of course it is important for Marseille to improve their current form if they don't want to get bad results like against Strasbourg and Angers.


Marseille appears as a better side, probably most favored and the favorite in this fixture, especially now that Marseille has got a very sound and different squad that is believed to be bale to get them better performance much more than they have had in the recent past, meeting Montpelier would be a game they shouldn't stress much over and this season Montpelier hasn't been in their best form so Marseille can make an advantage off that and having it that they are the hosting team is another advantage for Montpellier.

Goes up and down is a common thing that happens to any team, especially Marseille is currently still improving to become part of the elite team in Ligue 1. After Igor Tudor left, Marseille experienced a very drastic decline in performance. Now in the hands of De Zerbi, Marseille is starting to improve again even though in the last two matches they were unable to achieve perfect points. Well, this actually adds references and insight for the coach regarding the weaknesses and shortcomings of his team. In order for their performance in the future to be even better, De Zerbi is certain to formulate a formula for his team. In the 8th week, Marseille will visit Montpellier's headquarters. Marseille is again up against a team in the relegation zone, especially since Montpellier is very weak in its defense and we can see that they have conceded 21 goals in their 7 matches. Theoretically, Marseille should be able to achieve full points and get back on the right track. PSG is not always smooth in its journey, the two matches they played did not produce perfect points. Lost to Arsenal in UCL, drew against Nice in Ligue 1. We are waiting for Monaco, whether they will slip up, maybe Lille can stop Manaco who are unbeaten in 7 matches.

Marseille was previously able to perform quite consistently, but for some reason suddenly they crashed when they were in pretty good form at the beginning of the season, the loss to Strasbourg was actually the beginning of their inconsistency including when they had to get a draw from the anger in the previous match, so I think maybe it will also affect them when they have to face Montpellier in the match,  I saw in the match against Angers that it was seen that the Marseille players were unable to control their emotions and in the so actually harmed themselves, so I think it is a problem that De Zerbi must immediately overcome at this time.

For now Marseille is still in the top three after playing seven matches with a score of 14 points and that is certainly not a bad result for a team like Marseille because currently the team is only three points behind PSG and five points from Monaco who are at the top of the standings.

In the French Soccer League yesterday match, Nice vs PSG, I enjoyed the match between the two teams very hard. In this match, the players of both teams have equal performance, the match was drawn. Nice team player A. Abdi scored the 1st goal in 38 minutes. On the other hand, PSG team player  N. Mendes scored in the 52nd minute to draw the match. PSG team is in 2nd position of the points table. I expected PSG team to perform well in this match and win the match but it didn't happen in this match.
It didn't end well for Paris Saint-Germain because they were actually targeting full points, unfortunately they couldn't achieve their target because Nice's defense was too strong even though Paris Saint-Germain played dominantly. Now the Ligue 1 standings are getting more interesting because the leader is AS Monaco, I wonder, whether AS Monaco can become the Ligue 1 champion again like they did 8 years ago or not.

By the way, Nuno Mendes did not score for Paris Saint-Germain, it was an own goal scored by Nice player.
Nice is a very well defensive team so this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. I bet on 0-0 result before the game but a very small amount, I also bet on PSG to win a bigger amount, because I believed it would be either a PSG win if they end up scoring, or it would be a tie if PSG can't score, I did see a potential of Nice keeping PSG at zero, but I didn't see a potential of them scoring, I was wrong. In the end I believe we shouldn't really consider this indicating anything about PSG, just because they failed to win, doesn't mean they are bad.

This happens every season, we see PSG have just a bit of a bad game and suddenly we see them considered "this season will be different, they will be horrible" but we see how they are not actually horrible and we are going to end up with a much better result. We are going to see PSG be the champions, no matter who manages to win against them, in the end the league will be theirs. Until this whole Paris FC takeover thing at least.

That's the thing that makes football often full of surprises where every team can't always win over a small team, PSG draw against Nice is indeed quite surprising, especially considering Nice inconsistent performance, PSG Is the most dominant team so far over the ligue 1 team so it's not surprising that they are always favorites in every match,  failed to get 3 points making them n0w have to drop down the ranks to be replace by Monaco who in other matches managed to win over Rennes, so if you look at the current position and condition of PSG in my opinion they are still a strong candidate for the championship while other teams such as Marseille and Monaco will most likely only trouble them until the middle of the season later and as usual PSG will continue to run alone until the end of the season,  Monaco and Marseille will indeed be a serious threat to PSG this season, but to win Lgue 1 is clearly a difficult for them.
That's what fans of soccer competition are very competitive when a strong team like PSG can end up in a draw with the team below. In other words, the surprise that makes the competition interesting and even though PSG will suffer defeat several times or get a draw with any team, the results will remain PSG who leads League 1 at the end of the season.
So we always be careful in betting in big team matches like PSG who against a weak team or Marseille against a weak team. Sometimes it gives results that we cannot predict and better bet on other options.

Yes, that's how sometimes football is difficult to predict. I also initially thought PSG would beat Nice with a big score because Nice was not in good condition but it turned out that Nice was able to hold PSG to a draw. It was a good result for them because PSG is a club that is difficult to beat but because the draw made PSG's position shift to 2nd place below Monaco with a difference of 2 points. I think Monaco and Marseille will be obstacles for PSG in winning the League 1 title this season because the competition between these three clubs is still quite fierce.

I think that the result could have been affected by the match with Arsenal in the Champions League, it was a difficult game. And although PSG managed to quickly equalize the score, they did not have enough strength to score a second goal. And Nice in the second half completely focused on defense. Monaco were able to take advantage of this and very unexpectedly led the table, I admit I thought that PSG would not give up the initiative to any club until the end of the season, but now the intrigue is renewed.

I also expect Monaco to win because besides that, Monaco will also play at home and thus, it is only right that Monaco will not lose against Lille. Although it might only be a draw but I think it is also not bad at all although indeed, if for example Monaco gets a draw it is very possible for PSG to return to the top of the standings. But at least, PSG and Monaco will still have a close points gap and thus, their competition will continue and I hope it will happen throughout this season. If that happens, then of course the competition for the Ligue 1 trophy will be more interesting and it could be, maybe Monaco will break the Ligue 1 trophy streak this season, who knows.
Just before the expectations on Monaco is taken up already, we should know that Lille hasn't been doing any bad this season, as a matter of fact they at some point were a problem to PSG, tho they lost the game and Monaco isn't any better than PSG, so just so you don't get surprised, you should  probably keep the expectations down as Monaco do not have very brilliant attack or finishers as much as PSG though their midfield is fair by my judgment but they need better finishing even if they are at the top of the table at the moment staying there long enough will be the next concern as they are just two points away from PSG. I still expect a win from Monaco even with all i have said about them already but Lille shouldn't be underestimated.
Monaco is a team that can beat Lille. But Lille is doing very well this year. They have a good performance in the Champions League. Monaco is also doing very well in both the Champions League and the league. They passed Paris Saint-Germain in the league standings.

I think Lyon is now far from the bottom zone and the results they get now are also quite good, they are currently in 8th position and I think they will enter the top 5 because they are doing a stable performance at the moment so I think Lyon will compete with the top 5 again and that's what they deserve.

This Ligue 1 table shows that PSG are challenged by more teams in Ligue 1 this season. After losing their biggest attacking star player Mbappe to Real Madrid, PSG are going to have more troubles in Ligue 1. Their domination can be broken in this season and with their bad result in Champions League, this season can be a nightmare transitional season for them.

With their richness, except if their club get punishments from UEFA because of financial violations, they will come back in next seasons. Clubs in Ligue 1 like Monaco, Marseille need to take advantage of transition in PSG, to win Ligue 1 in this season.
