Yes the bet is good by choosing all the favorite teams that have quite good performance, but in the match it was ultimately disappointing because Monaco lost and LOSC vs Lyon ended in draw plus PSG who only won by 1 goal.
I lost the bet at the beginning and returned to make new slip that only chose PSG in three choices with PSG victory, Over 2.5 and 1st goal for PSG but they only got 1 goal with very good game dominance, even though this was victory for PSG but I was quite disappointed.

Actually, looking at their performance so far this season, Nantes is still far behind Marseille, in terms of squad composition and consistency. It's just that Marseille must still be vigilant. and this time, Marseille's performance was not disappointing, they were quite good. Winning 1 - 2 and getting a full 3 points made them even more solid in second place, right under PSG again.

The media narrative about any team or thing generally do have a way of influence and impact on how people does respond to what ever it is they will respond to but on the other hand, the champions League trophy is very much still available by Madrid and they obviously can still be able to go for it if they make a long term plan and start getting from the academy young players whom they are training for such purpose and looking at the long term they then get to build this player with such mind set and build the team to getting to that point where they will be able to get these players become stars a d because they were together built from the start they get the harmony and pattern with which they build experience and tackle challenges together making them much formidable to

Auxerre was showered with goals as they hosted Rennes at home.I honestly did not expect Rennes to suffer such a heavy defeat by Auxerre.Auxerre scored 2 goals in the first half and 2 in the second half to defeat their opponent 4-0 in total.Although Rennes had more possession of the ball, it was Auxerre who attacked well.
Toulouse, on the other hand, managed to defeat Reims.I think it was not a very enjoyable match for both teams.With this defeat, Reims could not win for the 3rd week in a row.They were doing well in the league, but after 3 consecutive defeats, the points difference with the top sides started to widen.

That's right, public interest is greatly influenced by media narratives that always highlight star players. However, this is not a big problem for PSG, as long as they can build a team that can get closer to the Champions League trophy, their fan base will continue to grow by itself. PSG is already quite famous in Europe and even in the world, thanks to the big names they have managed to attract in the past, now is the time for them to start in a different way. Gradually and in the long term, PSG should be able to learn a lot from Barcelona method, which has managed to produce its own stars through the academy La Masia.

Of course, too many star players is also not a good thing. Take PSG, for instance, which depended on Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi. It is not to say that they are underperforming; the very high level of talent in the team sometimes raises issues on team spirit and the sharing of responsibilities on the field. Now, a less star-studded cast has made PSG look more organized; they are scoring, including against Lens in a match where they won by the narrowest margin.

Despite the fact that the team is now more balanced, there are negative impacts that the club has to deal with due to the lack of star players. One of them is the decline in fan base since star players manage to attract more public attention and interest in them, their departure or reduction thus adversely affecting the club's appeal.

PSG is first in their league now and has bright chances in other competitions, still, they must not lose sight of the popularity and appeal of the club in the eyes of the fans.

Sometimes having too many stars can spoil a team and that's what happened to PSG when they had Mbappe, Neymar, Messi and the rest but as they don't have any stars now but have a balanced team of quality players, they're now playing better and will win not only the league title but other trophies too. They can also do well in the champions league. Yesterday they played against lens and won with only one goal but that doesn't mean they didn't play well. Sometimes winning is all that matters and not minding how you get the win, you just have to do it to keep progressing and not dropping points. PSG are topping the league with 6 points right now and that's safe for them.

Actually it was a very close match, only 1-0 and it was not a problem like a massacre, which was a disappointment also Monaco was defeated by a team ranked more than 10 in the standings and that made many people very disappointed, especially at home.

The last two defeats from Nice and Angers are enough to give a blow and lose 6 points that they should get to continue to compete at the top of the standings, with this situation Hutter should start to correct many mistakes on his team to get back to Monaco's winning ways.

Marseille football team is favorite for that match because that team has good combination of players which will play well in today's match . We will see an interesting match because Marseille team has quality players and their stat is also good as comparison to other team and Nantes football team could not win any match in last five matches which is negative sign for that. They lose 2  matches and three matches were draw . That have to give good performance in that match if they want to be successful in this match. Marseille H2H performance is also perfect and the won 4 matches out of 5 matches and they didn't lose any match and 1 match was draw.

The match will start in about an hour and Marseille seems to be the favorite. However, we should not forget that they are away. If Nantes gets a score that would allow them to beat them or draw, it would be a huge disappointment for Marseille. They have lost points recently anyway. They will not want to lose points in this match either. However, I think Nantes will play a defensive game against them. If they are successful in this game, Marseille may have a hard time. I think Nantes is a successful team even if they get one point against Marseille.

IMO, De Zerbi does not have a sharp striker who can be relied on in terms of scoring goals, some of the pure strikers they have are not sharp enough to break through the opponent's goal. and unfortunately in several matches there are always Marseille players who are given red cards, clearly this also has an impact on their performance. The Nantes vs Marseille match will start soon, although Marseille is slightly more favored, it is not easy to defeat the home team. However, at least Marseille can take advantage of Nantes' poor performance in their last 5 matches without a win. if Marseille is able to get full points in this match, they will overtake the team above them. not only Lille, Marseille can also shift Manaco's position even though they have the same points, that is if Marseille wins this match. on the other hand, the home team will work hard to end the series of bad results in the last 6 matches they have played. so, Marseille must work hard if they want full points in this match.

Yes indeed, although Nantes is not in a good position in the Ligue 1 standings, but in fact Nantes is still quite good at making goals and that means Nantes is also not a completely weak team despite being in a position in the lower zone of the standings. But at least, at the same time  also Marseille is still the best team so far this season for away games and thus, I still really expect Marseille to be able to win in this away match. At least, the odds for Marseille are also fairly large because they are in the range of @ 2.xx, considering these odds, it is clear that Nantes is not an easy team to beat. Thus, it is certainly possible to have many goals in this match at least, with both teams to score goals also will being an interesting result in this match.

Marseille has been experiencing a decline in performance and I think this could be as a result of the anxiety they are currently having as one of the potential contenders for the title due to the relatively good form they had at some point in this current season but recently they have been struggling with form which has left some people wondering what went wrong with the team that seemed so promising this season with players like Mason Greenwood and Aubameyang doing some great job in front of  attack. Tonight we hope Marseille are going to bounce back to winning ways and beat Nantes who are playing at home and give their fans something to cheer about.

Although since the beginning of the season I doubt that there is a team that can break PSG dominance in Ligue 1, but when looking at the performance of Monaco and Marseille at the beginning of the season, of course, gives us hope to see a more competitive competition will happen this season, after the hope is starting to be seen, precisely now the consistency of Monaco and Marseille is starting to be disrupted and making them slowly move away from PSG ,  the defeat from angers is obviously a very devastating blow for Monaco at the moment, especialy they are faced with a relatively easy opponent but they failed to get points in that match, Honestly, with the inconsistency of Monaco and Marseille at the moment, of course our hopes to see PSG failure get the trophy at the end of season has be buried now.

Auxerre vs Rennes
Auxerre (predicted lineup): Donovan Leon, Sinaly Diomande, Jubal, Clement Akpa, Ki-Jana Hoever, Gideon Mensah, Kevin Danois, Elisha Owusu, Gaetan Perrin, Hamed Traore, Thelonius Bair.

Rennes (predicted lineup): Steve Mandanda, Hans Hateboer, Leo Oestigard, Christopher Wooh, Adrien Truffert, Azor Matusiwa, Glen Kamara, Andres Gomez, Ludovic Blas, Jota, Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga.

This is the clash between two rival Auxerre and Rennes facing each other in the 11th round of the league, Rennes are currently on 11th place with 11 points having one point ahead with their opponent with 10 points on 14th place in the table, this match is going to be tough one as Auxerre perform very well at home by winning 3 matches out of four games played, Auxerre are really strong at home defeated Nice, Brest and Reims who are currently doing well in the league better than Auxerre but they tend to show their unity when playing home game, only Monaco managed to defeat them this season. Rennes who are the opponent are struggling to find consistent in away game, their last meeting Rennes won with 5-0, let see if Rennes can repeat what Monaco did to be the second team to beat them in their own home.

Le Havre vs Montpellier
Le Havre (confirmed lineup): Arthur Desmas, Yoann Salmier, Etienne Youte Kinkoue, Gautier Lloris, Abdoulaye Toure, Loic Nego, Yassine Kechta, Oussama Targhalline, Yanis Zouaoui, Rassoul Ndiaye, Andre Ayew.

Montpellier (confirmed lineup): Benjamin Lecomte, Falaye Sacko, Modibo Sagnan, Enzo Tchato, Issiaga Sylla, Jordan Ferri, Rabby Nzingoula, Nikola Maksimovic, Wahbi Khazri, Arnaud Nordin, Akor Adams.

Last two teams in the table are facing each  other in the 10th round of the league, the both are having the same numbers of defeated matches, I don't have interest in this match, and I don't see anything interesting here, but still I have confident in Montpellier to clamb up, the both have almost equal performance, very hard for me to predict.

The biggest mistake PSG made this season with the best strikers in the world was not buying quality defenders and not recruiting experienced midfielders. We all know PSG was a failed team in the Champions League that season despite having such a good attacking line due to the lack of quality midfielders. As opposed to buying a lot of good quality players in only one position, if there are no good quality players in all other positions then the team will never perform well as a whole. Now PSG doesn't have significant stars but there are balance players in every position and with everyone's combination PSG is doing well in their local league and it is thought that they will be champions of France league this season with this team but it is not possible to do well in champions league with the current team.

Monaco lost their last match against Angers. I am sure many gamblers like me have lost their money in this match. Because the bets on the victory of a small team like Angers are very few gamblers. Angers' overall performance has been poor this season. However, Monaco failed to get 3 points from this match.

The PSG team is now in a very safe position. PSG are now 6 points ahead of second-placed Monaco in the table. Now perhaps Luis Enrique will focus more on Champions League matches. Because PSG is now 19th in the Champions League table. It will not be surprising to see PSG perform poorly in Ligue 1 matches in the next few matches.

If we look at the percentage of goals conceded by both teams, actually both Nantes and Marseille are not much different, but if we compare the goal productivity of both teams, Marseille is better than Nantes. Now the question is, will Marseille be able to take advantage of their advantage? Because Nantes must have studied the weaknesses and strengths of the opponents they will face in this match. On paper, I think there is no doubt that Marseille is far superior, but the advantage on paper cannot be a guarantee that Marseille will be able to make it a reality. Well, to see the answer, we have to see the course of this match.

It was a completely unexpected result that Monaco would lose against a team like Angers. Monaco is a very strong team. But in the last few matches we have seen poor performances from Monaco. However, Angers is very close to the relegation zone. It was by no means expected that Monaco would drop points against such a team.

We thought Monaco was a worthy contender for this year's Ligue 1 title. But this team's performance is very poor at the moment. Monaco team is 6 points behind PSG due to losing points in the last three matches. The road to the title is getting easier for PSG.

Yes, Marseille's performance has been quite disappointing lately, their consistency has not been maintained properly.
And in tomorrow's match, Marseille must visit Nantes' headquarters, as far as we know, Nantes is currently experiencing a negative trend in several previous matches ending in defeat or only ending in a draw.
However, because we still doubt Marseille's performance, I agree that choosing BTTS in that match could be a wise choice because I think Marseille's defense is not too strong.
