Nice won the pre-eminent rival, PSG in the early rounds of Ligue One this season, that doesn't portrayed any effects because there are quite competitive clubs that are fully prepared to face them. On the records, Nice are unbeaten in Ligue One but that doesn't proved anything because I'm confident there first defeat of the season is just around the corner. Les Aiglons have continued to tried their best in all league games played, they also deserved some accolades because we know how hard Francesco Farioli have gathered specific amount of hardwork and innovative ideas to reach this stage at this moment.

So far, Nice has made quite significant changes.  usually, this team only dominates in the middle of Ligue 1. This season, Farioli's squad played their matches in Ligue 1 without defeat. 4 times with a draw, 7 with a win. quite extraordinary, even though I actually didn't really observe how this team played the match. But I'm not sure that Nice will not continue to surpass Paris Saint-Germain until this season ends. and it seems that, in the next few matches in the next week, the team that will be playing against Nice will not be a strong enough team, except for Reims who might be able to stop their progress.

But in football it is unique, Nice could lose when they visit Montpellier's headquarters. Yes, in football anything can happen. Moreover, Nice is not a team that is basically a strong team. As for PSG, I haven't seen that Enrique has found the right pattern and formula for his squad. That's why Enrique is still carrying out several experiments and rotating his players. but in the end, gradually PSG will shift the ranking occupied by Nice. For me, it's just a matter of time.

Nice has really been consistent this season nd have held the position at the top of the table for awhile now and it's really impressive, in their last five matches they have lost none, I can say they are at they good form this season with such level bod consistency.

When they will be meet PSG I think it's going to be an interesting game to watch as they are both going to test their strength, then we could possibly assertain who is relatively better. Lyon has really been in a messy shape this season and it's not normal because they have not been in such form in a very long time, they have been known to be  better than they are this season, I just keep hoping they will be able to escape relegation by the end of the season.

I haven’t seen how Nice plays, but from the outside, their results look like prolonged luck that could be interrupted at any moment. In 11 games, they scored 13 goals and missed 4. Such efficiency in defense is impressive, but the attack is very weak if we are talking about a team that aspires to something. But they have three games ahead of them against teams from the middle/bottom of the standings, so they will be able to maintain their minimal advantage over PSG for some time.
As long as nice can still score to win the game is more than enough. Nice doesn't need to have strong attackers. The club needs only to make sure its opponents would not able to concede the goals against nice. Winning a with narrow score like 1-0 is not a problem as it doesn't matter how many scores being made. Win is a win. It will never change the lose. Nice played with its own style and its' feeling so confidence with it. No doubt that if nice is now is still at the top positions at this moment.
A middle tier team is getting hyped after nice is consistently winning the game. IT's amazing to see nice is joining in the title race right now.

I have nothing against a style of play that is focused on a minimum win (although it can be very sad if the whole league is involved in this, do you remember the cattenacho in Serie A?) the question is whether this is a sign of style or a sign of a team winning hard and soon will start losing points. Basically, we are accustomed to the leader confidently winning games and some games (against underdogs) being won with a large score.

It is not a problem for Nice who do not have high productivity in scoring goals because, at the same time, Nice also has a good defensive line. Thus, at least Nice has good gameplay too, because that kind of balance is of course still good for the team. Also, if so far Nice is only lucky, then of course Nice will experience failure as well as losing. But the fact is not, because so far this season Nice is the only team that has not been defeated in Ligue 1 and also, Nice is the team that has conceded the fewest goals so far in Ligue 1. With results like that, I am not sure that Nice is just lucky prolonged. Because I think luck only happens for a few moments and not for a long time.

The thing about Lyon is that they had one of the all time best runs in all of France history and then they are so bad that they may drop. It's not even same with Leicester who won the premier league title and now they are gone to championship, that's a big shocker too and did not expected them to get that worse, but Lyon is doing even worse right now. They won something like 9 in a row or something, they may actually have a bigger win streak than PSG at this moment, that is something huge and you need to build a club that can be sustainable when you do that.

How could you have one of the longest streaks of wins, and then end up with being so bad that people are expecting you to eventually relegate? That feels like a big deal. I think it's clear that they are going to end up with a bad result, they need to do a lot better. Can't say what they did with all the money they had, but it's gone, that's for sure and that's why they can't get better.
It would be very bad to see Lyon relegated this season, because they used to be a very tough team but currently they've been performing very poor and it's gotten worst because they find it very difficult to win against smaller teams they should be winning easily even at their home ground, they're currently at the very bottom of the league and they really have to be consistent in about 3 to 4 matches to leave the relegation zone, but I doubt if they would cause they're the only team that's yet to win a match.

 I don't know how they got to this point, whether they're financially unstable and couldn't strengthen their club in the previous window or that the club is poorly run by incompetent owners, board members or manager, but whatever the case may be they need to think of a solution that would help save them from relegation this season cause if they keep losing more points till January I doubt if they'll be able to escape the relegation zone.

I think this is quite difficult for Lyon, because Lyon will face Rennes at Roazhon Park, which is Rennes' home ground. So Lyon still needs to change its tactics in order to win again this season, considering that Lyon has still collected very few points in its last ten matches this season. So this not only talks about the time to recover for Lyon, but also talks about the tactical improvements that the Lyon team must have before the team really ends this season in the deadliest position.
Rennes is a strong team, while Lyon is a team that is in decline this season. Lyon doesn't seem to have the desire to improve their performance considering they still haven't been able to win a single match in 10 matches this season. I was surprised by what they experienced, of course they looked like a mediocre team this season who have no good hopes of staying in Ligue 1 next season.

Rennes lost to Nice in the previous match. They lost one of their midfielders Youssouf Ndayishimiye to a straight red card against Nice, but considering Lyon are in a slump then perhaps Rennes will have no problem winning their home game.

If PSG can sustain the level they momentarily have although I am talking only about the last 2 or 3 weeks, I believe that they can hurt some of the strong teams in the Champions League. Last season they were up a against Bayern Munich, which was in relatively good form although not their best, but Bayern Munich played two solid games and won deservedly. But if Bayern Munich has one of those days when the struggle, the strong attacking line of PSG could break through and score several goals.

I don't think PSG could beat Real Madrid or Manchester City in two games in total. Maybe at home, but in the away game I wouldn't see much of a chance for them.
I would say that it is going to be quite impossible for them if they keep playing like this, but they could also get better, in a situation where they are playing all those big clubs at UCL, that would be at least months and months away, not only we are not even out of group stages, which will take some time, but we are talking about last 16 which they shouldn't face with those teams normally, we do not really know to be fair but they may not, not sure.

So all in all, I would guess that quarter finals could be the first games where they could meet against some bigger clubs, and that is still a lot of months away. So, PSG could get better until then and we should keep that in mind when we are making estimations and predictions.

That's probably right and yes it looks like they can avoid to be up against Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich and I believe against the rest of the strong teams, PSG would have a chance. But maybe we are talking too early here and PSG messes it up and doesn't win their group. That would mean they could be facing one of the three aforementioned teams in the round of 16 already. Of course never say never but I think that would be game over for them if they meet one of those teams.

Mate, I really don't know whether the main problem is Fabio Grosso for this team. Because Lyon have been playing like this since the beginning of the season. As far as I remember Fabio Grosso has been brought to the manager position after at least a few games played in the Ligue 1. But yeah we can say that he also can't do magic and make the team start recovering.

Bookies are exaggerating Lyon's win probability too much these days. Because it is obvious that they don't perform decently since the season started. Lyon should have been given much higher odds even against Metz.
Lyon finished 7th last season but based on the current performance I am not sure they will be able to achieve such result. A club that was a Champions League semi-finalists in 2020 is now struggling to remain win a match. The club's desire now will be to struggle to remain in the Ligue One next season. Fabio Grosso needs more time to build the team so the club need to be patient with him. Lyon's next game will be with Rennes, a team that has not won any game in four matches. A win against Rennes will move Lyon to the seventeenth position that is if Clermont Foot losses it's game against Lorient but a loss will still keep them at the bottom of the league.
The thing about Lyon is that they had one of the all time best runs in all of France history and then they are so bad that they may drop. It's not even same with Leicester who won the premier league title and now they are gone to championship, that's a big shocker too and did not expected them to get that worse, but Lyon is doing even worse right now.

This situation of Olympic Lyon is truly deplorable. I feel very sorry for the fans. It must be a big problem for its fans that a team that once left its mark on the French league is in this position. A team that dreams of the Champions League should not be in last place in the league. I think they should definitely win against Rennes. Now is the time to recover.

So this not only talks about the time to recover for Lyon, but also talks about the tactical improvements that the Lyon team must have before the team really ends this season in the deadliest position.

In their head to head record I think it is clear, that Rennes is not an easy opponent for Lyon. What's more, Lyon in this season is really very bad for both home and away matches. So yes, playing away against Rennes, will certainly be a difficult job for Lyon at this moment. For me, it looks like Lyon is no longer able to be saved and or, it looks like Lyon no longer has a chance to get out of the relegation zone this season. Because anyway, playing against any team will still be difficult for Lyon to get points this seasons. Maybe, for the upcoming match Lyon can also get a win but still, if Lyon is unable to get consecutive wins, then Lyon position will remain in the relegation zone throughout this season.

Indeed, Fabio Grosso was only appointed as Lyon coach some time ago and of course the fans have more expectations for this coach to give victory to their favorite team. But it seems that this has not materialized until now and we can see that Lyon is still falling, whoever their opponent is. On the other hand, I don't know whether this was the right decision to recruit Fabio Grosso as Lyon coach when the team was in decline.

Fabio Grosso was indeed good when he managed his previous team Frosinone and succeeded in bringing the team to promotion to Serie A this season, but I think that alone is not enough to meet the criteria for the coach that Lyon currently needs. Regarding the previous match Lyon vs Metz, I also feel like you and the bookies should be able to give bigger odds for Lyon considering that they are the only team that has never won, but what happened is just the opposite and anyway this has passed.
Fabio Grosso should be able to spark Lyon improvement in performance, but without adequate preparation and taking over the coaching chair as the season progresses, he cannot do much. Grosso quality is not bad, his achievement in bringing Frosinone promotion to Serie A should be used as a reference. Lyon was indeed facing setbacks when Grosso arrived, and I think it would be unfair to blame him completely.

Everyone involved in the club must take responsibility for their performance, and must understand well the details of their respective responsibilities. The setback that occurred today was due to their lack of calculation in preparing the squad in the transfer market yesterday. We know that Lyon didn't have much movement there. So it is not surprising that they have not been able to achieve a single win when the season has been running for them for 10 weeks.

It looks like Lyon can't be helped this season and they still haven't won so far. It is natural that the bookies favor Lyon, apart from being the host, their opponent is also the promotion team this season, namely Metz. However, what happened was unexpected, even Lyon was unable to beat Metz and had to be willing to share 1 point with a draw. It seems like there is no chance for Lyon to escape the relegation zone and even if there were, it would have to be a miracle to get them through this bad result. Moreover, if you look at the difference between Lyon and Metz, it is only 6 points and Fabio Grosso, who was appointed as Lyon's new coach some time ago, was also unable to produce good results.

Mate, I really don't know whether the main problem is Fabio Grosso for this team. Because Lyon have been playing like this since the beginning of the season.

NIce continued their unbeaten run by winning this week's match at home to Rennes. The game was evenly matched, but Nice played more effectively and they were able to create goals from the chances they created. While Rennes several times they tried to create goals but could still be stopped by the defense built by Nice.
It's amazing what Nice have achieved so far, because they can consistently win points from every match they play. They are the only unbeaten club so far, they also have a solid defense, it's just that their shortcomings are on the front lines that still cannot be more productive in creating goals.

My expectations for this team were never high, as I didn't anticipate them playing as well as more established clubs. It's so fantastic to see how nice is keep consistently winning the game. The competition becoming tougher than before has automatically created pressure for PSG to step up their game and perform at a higher level.
The amount of dedication and effort that Enrique is putting into pushing his team to improve is truly commendable, and it appears that his efforts are finally yielding positive results. The performance from PSG is quite better even without mbappe. This is a huge progress being made by enrique at this moment.
this is what makes me interested in always visiting League 1 because in every season in League 1 there are always teams that challenge the big teams and not just certain teams. several teams in League 1 take turns performing quite well in each season so I dont get bored to always watch every match and you can see from the standings in previous seasons, even though PSG is at the top of the standings, there are always other teams who will be challengers and take turns.

regarding PSG performance, I dont really doubt it, but I find it a little difficult to accept that without Mbappe, Enrique can rely on other players and you can see for yourself from several matches that the score is always scored through Mbappe and when this player is not present at the match with PSG, this team cannot bring it home victory.

But I am sure you recall what happened last season. RC Lens could not beat PSG eventually because they only got 84 points and PSG could afford to lose one game and draw one game out of their last two games, which means it looked closer than it actually was.

I think that PSG will almost always be well over 80 points in Ligue 1 and then the interesting thing to consider is whether there is one other team that can also get well over 80 points. The problem is that draws can already mean failure if they accrue too many of them. Winning is the only way to keep up the pressure against PSG and to force them into making mistakes in their own games. But the resources in respect of play quality is so much higher for PSG than for Nice. This often materializes in a later phase of the season when the first injuries hit hard.

Lyon lost games vs clubs weaker than Rennes.. Besides, they are playing away vs them. I doubt Lyon could win and I think getting a point from them will be an achievement. I hope Fabio Grosso could push the team a little above the relegation zone but with all the tension around the team, I doubt this will occur anytime soon.
The bottom of the table isn't changing much at the opposite of the leaderboard where Nice is first for the moment followed by PSG and Monaco with 1 point between each team. PSG game next round vs Reims seems to be more difficult than Nice and Monaco games.

where did you see that if lyon was losing in this week? I don't even see that. LYON was getting draw against metz. There's no lose for lyon now. I think that you are wrongly seeing a wrong match, right?
Rennes is far stroger than metz but i doubt that if lyon will able to win against rennes. I would like to bet on rennes instead of lyon. The draw against metz was enough to make me distrust lyon.

Lyon will continue its bad trend till it will be relegated to the lower division. It needs a miracle to make lyon goes back up again. Lyon can hope to get early goal against rennes to get three points or its chance to go up and leave from relegation zone will be zero.
Im starting to be a bit pessimistic with the performance from lyon.

This club performs so badly this season. Lyon is not even trying to make a big change in the club like sack the management in the club.

Every season we see several teams competing for the title at the beginning of the season, but in the end, PSG is the champion. This season seems to be the same. The Nice and Monaco teams have been performing quite well so far. But personally I don't think Nice have the ability to win the title. Because Nice has managed to maintain consistency so far though. They are doing very well and are at the top of the points table. However, Nice's attacking performance is poor. The team managed to score only 13 goals in 11 matches. Monaco, on the other hand, have a chance to grab top spot in the table if they can win against Lille in their last match. But Monaco missed the opportunity. For these reasons I think we will see PSG at the top of the table in the next few weeks.
Last season will not be much different from this season because PSG is still one of the strongest teams that is difficult for other teams in Ligue 1 to compete with. Compared to Monaco, Nice is still one of the best because they have not been defeated until the 11th match and Nice too managed to beat PSG with a much more effective level of play. Nice's upcoming match will face Montpellier as a bottom team so it will be easy for them to win the match.

PSG will visit Reims' headquarters after playing a match in the Champions League and Reims is also one of the challengers for the top five positions in the standings which is currently ranked fourth. Automatically the match between the two will be much tougher for PSG and if they are not able to handle it well then Nice will have a slight advantage in the upcoming match.
