Lille is defending very well this season. With less than one goal conceded per game they can collect valuable points against stronger teams due to their defense. That is what they have to pay attention to first and foremost, make sure that they don't get knocked out in the first minutes against teams like PSG or Monaco. Nice and Lens are more similar to Lille, all those teams are very strategic about their approach and less explosive. I think from rank 5 to 2 everything is possible for the teams 2-6. I think Monaco is the favorite for the second spot, but the season is still young.

Finally, one by one competitor teams in Ligue 1 have consistency performance and make PSG lead top position behind many points left. Current standings PSG have 4 points remaining from Nice who get first loss in this season from Nantes last match, I doubt with some teams pressure PSG on top standings will have consistent performance and become easily for PSG win Ligue trophy without have to play until 38 matches.

So sad looking on current standings from most historical Ligue 1 team Lyon after dropping to bottom position, the only one Ligue 1 teams participants with one winning of 13 matches and they have loss 8 matches. Upcoming match against Marseille seems losing record for Lyon will continues and looks difficult for defeating Marseille exactly Marseille fans will make huge pressure for Lyon with match will play in front f Marseille fans.

That's right, it won't be easy for Lille. Especially, on the other side Monaco and Nice will probably continue to maintain their position, so Lille must be able to consistently collect lots of points. Also, so far Lille has not meet PSG or Monaco, so maybe Lille position is not completely comfortable either. But Lille must to be careful Lens performance, this club seems already improved and it is possible that they will be consistent.

In my opinion, the possibility of a draw result is higher in this match. Because it won't be easy for both teams to beat each other, but for betting I personally prefer both teams to scored with odds @1.8 for now. Hopefully can happened, because usually betting on team in middle of the table is often surprising.

I think, if for example Lyon is ready to spend a lot of funds then ya, at least that factor might have a direct impact on Lyon's performance this season. But, if for example in the January transfer market Lyon does not make many changes to the team, then of course Lyon will prepare to be relegated. At least, Lyon can still catch up if they are fully recovered. Therefore, I think before Lyon is too far behind, it is appropriate for management to move quickly to restore Lyon performance this season. At least not being relegated and indeed, is not easy but if they have the right efforts then ya, I believe it is still possible for Lyon to escape the relegation zone.

It would clearly be very bad for Lyon if the team actually experienced relegation this season, because previously the Lyon team was quite good in Ligue1. And in the near future, Lyon will also face Marseille, who previously won at home when they hosted Rennes, so it will be quite difficult for Lyon to beat Marseille in the near future if Lyon doesn't work hard and get better performance. Because Marseille is of course still very enthusiastic about winning the next match which will take place at home.

Ligue 1 is almost halfway through the season, and Lyon is the worst team in the half season. I think their chances of staying in Ligue 1 will be very difficult. They have poor goal productivity and conceded numbers. Some teams only have 1 or 2 weak points and they can cover them by taking advantage of the transfer market later. But fixing weaknesses in all areas is not an easy thing to do. It would be a shame if a strong team like Lyon had to be relegated because of bad management.

For some teams like Arsenal, they are only bad for a few matches and then find their best performance again and can compete at the top of the standings. But I think Lyon won't be like that. They are really bad even the league is almost halfway through the season.

Sometimes we see such examples, not so long ago Arsenal started the season just as badly, but then managed to come back. Or this happens periodically with Monaco, when they sell too many players, but they always return to the top because they know how to find young talent. With Lyon everything is more difficult, it seems that they cannot get out of the bottom, although a couple of victories could change everything and add confidence to the team. It looks like their season will be about getting out of the relegation zone.

It is hard to compare Ajax Amsterdam with Lyon since Ajax in Eredivisie is quite similar to Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. Everyone will be shocked whenever they see Bayern Munich in the bottom of the table. People were surprised when they saw Ajax Amsterdam in the relegation zone. When it came to Lyon, they started dropping slowly. Like 10 years ago, they were competing PSG for the title then they were hovering around the fourth spot up to 7th or 8th and this season they crashed to the last place for good. What happened to Lyon was progressive at the opposite of Ajax Amsterdam and I find it difficult for them to avoid this trap this season!

I had to have a look at their club history to find out that they did indeed play in Ligue 2 a very long while ago, but now they are used to Ligue and have been such a well recognized club in the highest French Ligue. They had great times in the past but at the moment they remind me a little bit of Ajax Amsterdam. The comparison isn't perfect because Ajax Amsterdam made the turn possible now, but it looked awful when they crashed down the whole table at once and stayed there for a while. I also have big doubts that this will end peacefully for Olympique Lyon.

More precisely, Gattuso has managed Marseille in 11 matches in various competitions. 5 wins, 3 draws 3 losses. but uniquely, Marseille performed quite well in the Europa League. they won 3 matches and 2 draws without losing in their 5 matches. In Ligue 1, it seems Marseille is having difficulty getting full points during their matches. There are always factors that cause them to be unable to win, one of which is lack of luck.
To be honest, I haven't followed the matches they play. I mean, watching the full Marseille match. However, when compared to Marseillo, Gattuso is much better in terms of system, pattern and philosophy. In fact, there are still many opportunities for Marseille to climb to fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings. After all, Marseille have only played 13 matches in Ligue 1. Gattuso's task to make this team solid is a serious challenge for them. at least next January, they need some newcomers

We'll see, how far this Italian coach takes his squad in Ligue 1. But if I have to compare with Igor Tudor, it's clear that I prefer Igor because he is more competent in my opinion. Unfortunately, Igor Tudor chose to part ways with Marseille. as well as several other players, such as Alexis Sanches, and several other players. As for Auba, he has not been able to prove his quality in this competition and has only scored 2 goals. but in the Europa League group phase, he has scored 5 goals. This week, Marseille will play a match against Lyon. It should be a momentum for them to get full points by winning the match.

Have you heard that Fabio Grosso was fired last week? and that was a decision made by Lyon after the Italian coach had not had a positive impact since taking charge of Lyon several months ago. Currently Lyon is handled by Pierre Sage who is Lyon's academy coach and he is only a caretaker coach. It looks like there will be no changes at all until week 13 and I quite agree that Lyon could be relegated this season. That will be a serious blow for the club's retainers and management, especially since they are one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1 and it seems like this season they can't do anything except hope for a miracle.

There will be no improvement to happen with lyon. As you can see that lyon was playing so badly against any team. It was also rarely winning the game. The performance of lyon will still continue till the end of season.
Lyon needs to do something or it will be relegated. It's hard to believe lyon will be performing this bad. I don't know what was the main reason from lyon to perform so badly. It seems like the internal problem has become the main problem now.

Lyon is going to face marseille in upcoming game. Im doubting lyon to perform so well against lyon. Marseille is a very strong opponent for lyon with the current performance.
Im doubting lyon to win or even draw against marseille. I won't believe it to happen. It will be so sad if lyon will be losing against marseille. Losing three points will make lyon will have smaller chance to leave from the relegation zone.

What I know is that as long as Kylian Mbappe is still at PSG, the future of winning the League 1 title is very bright and he can always reach first place at the end of the season, but after Mbappe leaves PSG, what will happen?
Everyone will definitely say that if Mbappe leaves at the club, PSG will definitely experience a decline, this is very certain because at the moment there is no replacement for this high-quality player, even though Gancalo Ramos was rumored to be Mbappe's replacement, but the fact is that he cannot perform like Mbappe.
Maybe this season we will still see PSG at the end of the points table, let's see next season whether my guess is right or wrong.

Well the Ligue 1 has always been seen as a farmer’s league because PSG are the only team dominating that league for some years now. We thought we’ll be having a great season with Nice, but our assertions were proven wrong when this Nice team started falling to some red stains on their clean winning slate,well they've tasted defeat this season, now let's see if they'll be able to make up for their mistake and maintain consistency again.

 Now the gap is up to 4 points and yes, Nice could still have a shot at it but I fear they might not be serious enough and they probably won’t have the depth to challenge PSG for the title. With PSG win this weekend I think that’ll be a big wide in the gap and that would be a worry for Nice and joy for PSG and her fans.

It seems very certain that Lyon will be relegated even though there are still many games in this season but there is no visible change in their appearance apart from changes in coaching, so there is not much hope that they can survive the relegation zone unless management makes drastic changes, especially in the transfer market later by buying several players to improve their weaknesses this season which occur in all areas, their attack is bad as well as their defense, if they can make significant changes there is still a chance of survival because the team above them in points is not much different so it is very possible to catch up so that next season they can still play in League 1.

If they are relegated from League 1, this will cause bad news for the management because the fans will want them to stop managing the team. In order for Lyon, which is in an important place in League 1, to overcome this bad situation, the management needs to do great work during the halftime.

Yeah it's not too worrying because sooner or later the result will be like this where PSG will definitely have a good position and good performance in Ligue 1 despite their poor performance at the beginning.

This situation is not the first time this has happened because almost every season is like this because until now no one has been able to make a breakthrough more to PSG for a tight competition.
Currently after the start of the season is not very good PSG immediately made some breakthroughs with the winning streak they did it's just that either my feelings or maybe other people feel but PSG's victory in Ligue 1 seems ordinary.

Just like i said before Marseille was changing manager from Marcelino to Gattuso on September and Marseille owner actually has a target to Gattuso because they want Gattuso can able to bringing Marseille playing more consistent this season and compete for top 3 or champion league zone but in fact after 2 month managed this team Marseille is still not performing as expected and in Ligue 1 after through an 7 matches Marseille only able to gets 2 wins and they lose 3 times and currently Marseille has 10 difference points below to Monaco which is the team who in the 3rd place and in my opinion Marseille have to forget their target to tinish at top 3 or playing at champion league for next season because their contender just like Monaco and Lille has stable performance compared to them

That's gonna happen only if nice will not be winning the upcoming game. Im not really sure if nice will be losing against reims. Reims was a strong team but it doesn't mean nice would be losing against it.
Monaco is going to face weak team. Nice needs to work even harder to beat reims as it was on top 10 now. Monaco and nice have larger gap to the PSG. This is bad consider PSG may be leading the league till the end of season as long as it will always try to keep its consistentcy.

We have the same winner like last season again. PSG is unbeatable this time by french league clubs. I see no club will able to beat PSG now. PSG is just getting better while its competitors were struggling to get three points.
PSG is going to make french league become a farmer league like bundesliga.

I think it is appropriate for Lille to aim for a place in the champions league next season because they are a team that is consistent every season and only experienced a few obstacles before finally being able to get that place. But it won't be easy because the competition keeps changing every season (not the case for PSG) and I'm happy to see Lille can continue like this. I also always win bets when I include Lille in the multibet list and that's why I like this team. The game against PSG is still about two weeks away and of course Lille will try to take these points from PSG.

Brest is the next threat for Metz and it seems that this time it will not be an easy match for Metz, especially since Brest is a fairly strong team in the middle of the table and in my opinion, even though this match takes place at Metz's home ground, there is a possibility that the result will be a draw or loss for Metz. But the worst thing is that Metz lost again against Brest and that is something they must avoid.
