Nice are getting what they aim for, even though they don't produce many scores, they are currently only one point behind PSG on paper in the matches they won. They do not organize attacks very often, but when they do, they are a team that knows how to come strong and get results. As a centre-forward, Moffi has no problems scoring goals and whenever the opportunity comes, he takes advantage of it.

As I said, they are not a team that can produce offensive organizations often, but they are getting results. In my opinion, the reason why Nice collected so many points is that they defended regularly on the line.

The good thing about Paris Saint-Germain in this season is they don't have players like Neymar or Messi anymore but this team is performing well and this shows PSG didn't need these players, all they needed to have was some young players and a good coach to have an integrated team that's how PSG can even have a higher chance than last season even in the Champions League.

As expected, this match didn't produce many goals. previously I said, the ideal option is to bet on the under or handacap +1, it could be +1.25. The final result was a 1-0 win for the home team. and yes, Nice finally managed to get back to winning ways. even though in the previous week, they were held to a draw against Montpellier.
To be honest, I actually doubt that Nice will get full points in this match. However, with various considerations plus they play the match at home.

So as I said in the previous post, the ideal option is betting on under or handicap. and yep, Nice dispelled my doubts by winning the match against Toulouse. With this result, Nice again narrowed the narrow points gap from Paris Saint-Germain. one thing that makes Nice a little unique, compared to other teams. They didn't win their matches by a landslide score, but were able to consistently score goals in almost every match. and yep, they deserve it.
So far, Nice is the only team that is unbeaten in its 13 matches. plus, the team that conceded the fewest goals. I think this team is a little unique, we'll see how far Francesco Farioli takes his team in match after match in the following weeks.

Paris Saint-Germain FC have become a very compact team this season. Last season they had a great squad. But they didn't play such a good game. This season they seem to have become a team. They beat one of their most important rivals in League 1 with a very comfortable game. So, even if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid right now, I think they can win the French Ligue 1. And I think the biggest part of this success belongs to the coach Luis Enrique. I know it's too early to say, but if they find stability, in a couple of seasons they could even win the Champions League trophy they dreamed of. I saw them very well in the game against Monaco.

Well, things would have been different, I think they wouldn't have let Mbappé go, I don't know why, but apparently PSG has Always shown that when it comes to PSG and Madrid there aren't many collaborations, either on Madrid's part or not. but on the part of PSG , it was because Barcelona did not want him, or did not have the money to leave, but I think that the Sheikh would have helped the club that would have gone there, I think it is like a pique that PSG has with respect to to Madrid, I don't know why, but this is what has made me think, whenever the comment has been made that the French Player was going to go to Madrid and Didn't do it because he Himself didn't Want to , because Madrid doesn't forgive , No matter how much the player wanted to, he is not going to go to Madrid and I have always Said that , and I will not be wrong, Unless Florentino Pérez becomes a very soft person and is going to Accept such a thing , but just Remember that Totti, who was a much Bigger Player than Mbappé, it was not because he had a Hesitation, much less will he accept the Frenchman who with all his Determination said No to Madrid for Money.

In this order of ideas, we as a person who are quite critical, and those of us who are fans of Madrid know very well that when they Say that Madrid is not even the best player in the world, Madrid does not even greet him, so this This is what happens when it comes to this type of player, based on this I would think that when things are just seeing that a player like Mbappé Wants to go , I Prefer to see him in Liverpool, or in another team, and he is already 26 years old. , it no longer has the profile that Madrid likes, in fact for Madrid it is Already old , and as they are in the Spanish clubs they want to have the stars as soon as they come out , and that is something that only this club can achieve , also the The relevance that the club has helps to choose which Players Stay , and that is something Verifiable , I Wouldn't say less , but that's how things are.


So far PSG's performance is good, it is very good, yes, we cannot deny that Luis Enrique has done well, and I admire the ability they have to make everything turn out wonderfully there, but we must not trust Ourselves , the Teams that They are in Ligue 1 and they no Longer have the same respect for PSG as they did last season. Now Mbappé is playing very well so he can keep the team happy and happy. I would say that things can get better when they try to do better. always focus on having the best results, whether with Mbappé or without Mbappé , things are being Added to PSG , I personally am not a big fan of PSG, at one point I liked the Team they had put Together , the big stars Promised to take everything, Ligue 1, UCL and every championship that was Presented to them, but it wasn't like that, and that was what disappointed me about the team, of course, what I saw was that it was the fault of the PSG coach , because it is impossible for the players to have those Results.

What they are doing for now is having control so that they can generate their football, I could say that when it comes to how to do a good Action in football , it is Different, Luis Enrique for now does not have it easy, because it has to do What will his situation be like once Mbappé goes to another team, because it is not a fact that it will be like that, and I don't think it will be for Madrid, because apparently there is a window of hope that Instead of a 26-year-old Mbappé , what a Haaland who is in a great moment, which seems spectacular to me, plus as a human person Haland seems much better to me, who is somewhat more humble and less Problematic than Mbappé himself , who Always , from what I have read in some articles, the French is quite strong in terms of his spirit, genius, humor, that is what we take into consideration because coexistence with the other players in the club is also important, I could say that for now Ligue 1 is likely to be followed PSG winning, but Once this Mbappé player leaves, things will be different.

Clean sheet kings Nice keep pressure on PSG

PSG has dominated the league one even during "bad seasons", It looks like a walk in the park for them, since their current owners arrived they have had one goal which is to win the champions league but this seems to be proving difficult for them as they can't seem to hack the competition, after losing the final in 2020 to Bayern Munich, it looks as tho they might lose Mbappe their best player and one if the best players in the world soon if they fail to succeed in this competition soon.

 The match against Monaco was more like a warning signal to teams in the UCL and Ligue that they might mot probably be good but they take their chances when needed and that warranted in them netting 5 goals, with the recent summer overhaul and with their new coach PSG are really hoping they can win the champions league as the league one proves quite easy for them.

Nice has continued their record of staying unbeaten after eight consecutive matches including the on they just won against Toulouse today by a goal, they have aswell maintained their position at the second spot on the standing just a step behind PSG who is currently at the top.

Nice wasn't really impressive yesterday, I felt they would have done way better than they did, it did looked like they were considering their opponent even with the home advantage they had , I expected they would have won with a very good difference but until the early minutes of the second half, they were unable to secure a goal which later turned out their only goal with which they were able to secure three points.

It seems, indeed, that it is Enrique duty to succeed in improving PSG's performance and quality because after all, Enrique is basically a great coach who certainly has a good ability to make success with the team. But yes, if Enrique only succeeds only in Ligue 1, then I think Enrique has not fully succeeded. Because yes, of course PSG's hope of recruiting Enrique is to make PSG get better results in the Champions League. But indeed, maybe this is only the beginning because this is also still Enrique first season at PSG so it seems natural that Enrique succeeded in Ligue 1 with PSG. Because for the Champions League, of course there will still be a long process to get better results there.

Nice is continuing to win games at 1-0 results not at all convincing as results but yet they are there,just there at 1 point distance compared to Paris leading the league.It may not be convincing yet they are getting the three points when needed and as long as they are there tailing Paris it means they can have a look at winning the French Ligue 1 if Paris happens to make some mistakes in the future.I don't think in the direct game Nice to be in advantage so they should be looking to maximize their chances whenever Paris makes a mistake and they need to be there,to not make mistakes so they can hope for the best.

They will definitely be aware of the situation and they will definitely do a lot better. They know what they did wrong, and they are a lot more comfortable at each others position as well.

Mbappe was used as a striker for years now, and now he is back to left wing, which is where he naturally plays, even at France he is always used that way, whereas we are talking about Mbappe getting back to his position, and Dembele at right place, and Kolo Muani at the top, that's actually a good thing for them, it shows that people are back to their position and a lot more comfortable, it's been many more games together and the yare used to each other as well. Mainly French squad too, they didn't really bring people around the world together neither, so that's a help.

Of course PSG next match in the UCL events will be a tight match, especially also Newcastle can beaten PSG before on that event, and I personally also think that game won't be easy for Enrique.
Fortunately, on next matchday 14 in ligue 1, PSG will not play against a top team. So I think maybe Enrique can all out in that match vs Newcastle, to got winning. But yes hopefully Enrique can think of the right strategy in that match, because previously Eddie Howe can beat him.

Toulouse shouldn't feel so special like they won the Champions League already, though a win will be a win and they took the three points at home while impressively playing in front of the home fans.
They got the better of that game because Liverpool Coach came up with a much different squad from the one that won them the first game against Toulouse.

Nice would want to win to climb back up, to make it more competitive and tough, I predicted the game to go as a draw. Even if the first half already aligning, I will still hope Nice don't get to break my heart.

PSG immediately improved their performance after last winning a draw at Clermont Foot headquarters, achieving six consecutive wins in Ligue 1 with very good goal productivity. The Luis Enrique effect is starting to spread in the PSG squad, the stability of the squad is starting to appear by creating lots of opportunities in every match.
Enrique is trying to get PSG used to the philosophy he often uses when coaching other clubs, slowly but surely Enrique presence is starting to have a positive impact on the PSG squad. PSG latest victory put them three points ahead of their closest competitor, Nice still provides competition for PSG by sticking closely to second place.

In the current match, the first half has ended and there are no shots on target, let alone scoring a goal in the match. I must say it was a very boring match. I hope some things will improve in the second half and we can watch an enjoyable match. If this match continues like this, there is only one possibility and that is a goalless draw of 0-0. Toulouse were great against Liverpool, but they are showing a mediocre performance in this match.

I admit that the defense that Nice has is extraordinary, but unfortunately Nice doesn't score many goals against the opposing team and between Monaco and PSG, the title winners, Nice scored the fewest goals. It could be said that Nice players don't really attach much importance to goals because what is important Nice can win even if it is by a narrow goal.
In this match, Nice will be the favorite again to win, I predict with a score of 1:0 / 2:1 for Nice to win.

Nice has odds @1.52 while Touluse @6.80 by betting on Nice is not too risky because many people bet on Nice of course, this match will be very exciting and don't let Nice achieve a draw or lose if they draw or lose. will further widen the points gap with PSG

Nice has had results like that so far and it's not surprising that even though they can win with a narrow lead, their consistency is worthy of emulation by other teams. It's definitely not easy to balance defense and attack at the same time and I think that's quite a rare asset for a team in Ligue 1 to have. Apart from that, maybe Nice also need to be careful because Toulouse previously beat Liverpool in the European league competition and they also scored a lot of goals. a lot of that time. Nice's defense must be even stronger to withstand Toulouse's attacks and they must show it in this match. The match is underway but still no goals have been scored and let's see how it turns out.

Tonight we will find out whether this is a process getting better for Lyon or not. I mean they won their last match against Rennes and finally got their first win of the season. They had to wait for 11 matches until getting that win I'm afraid.    It is really sad to see Lyon being in this much bad condition this season.

Their next competitor is Lille today. It is a home match firstly but this doesn't change things much for Lyon though. Every match is tough for them at the end of the day.

Lille lack 2 important players as it seems who are Benjamin Andre and Diakite. The odds of both sides have been increasing while the odds of draw are rising. I think we will see a draw in this match.

I've always said that a good defense must also be accompanied by a good attack, because in matches they need goals to ensure they can win the match. So far I have no doubts about the performance of Nice's defense, yes they are very solid. But the problem is that it is not accompanied by a sharp attacking line, which in the end makes it difficult for them to win. Yes they don't concede, but when they can't create goals it also doesn't mean anything for them, because they will only get a draw.

Nice are currently playing a match against Toulouse, the score is still tied.

The match is a draw for now, but the match has just started. They are a very difficult team, and playing away makes it a much more difficult match for Toulouse. Even though many seem to be favourites, it seems to me like a match with a high probability of a draw. Toulouse created a big sensation by beating Liverpool in France, their form is on the rise, let's see what they will do in this match.

Do not let them underestimate Newcastle again in the match later because however their motivation and ambition are now very good, it's just that if in the end they underestimate Newcastle too much like the previous match then this could be dangerous for them.
Now with what happened between them in this week's match of course it is a very good capital and a 3-day break seems to be enough for PSG and Newcastle to appear at full strength in the 5th Champions League match.
Victory is a fixed price if they really want to stay in a favorable situation to qualify for the next phase so there must be no mistakes in the match later.
