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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
During this season Nice has indeed become quite strong team getting more wins without losing and at worst ending in draw.
There are only two teams that can beat Nice namely Monaco and PSG but at their meeting at the start of this season Nice was still able to beat these two teams, it just that PSG is getting better day by day with the quality of play being consistent.

And because the league is still long there is possibility that Nice will fall if some problems occur but no one knows when it will happen.
Trusting the top teams at the start like this is still very dangerous or has the potential for bad things to happen.

The thing is PSG is probably going to win the league title this season. After all, they are definitely the best team in this league. But to be honest no one actually cares about that anymore. People only care about them being able to win the Champions League title. Because people know that they are going to win the league title without too much problem because they do not have much competition. As you said the only threat right now seems to be Nice. I am pretty sure PSG is going to overcome that, even though they are in the second position right now, and Nice is in the first.

That's very interesting, everyone is looking forward to PSG success in the Champions League, without ignoring Ligue 1 at this time. If it's not an exaggeration, even though PSG is playing badly and looks unstable in Ligue 1, in the end they are like guaranteed to win a trophy at the end of the season. everyone spotlight on PSG is only in the UCL competition, which is still a big question mark as to whether they will be able to achieve it in the near future.

I understand that in the long term Enrique squad can do it, but if they have the ambition to make it happen this season, there are four strong clubs that must be eliminated first before winning the UCL trophy, Madrid, Munchen, City and Barcelona, and I also can't ignore Inter Milan.

Yes indeed, at least Rennes can play well in this match too, although Rennes is playing away but Rennes also has a good effort to be able to get points in this match. But unfortunately, Rennes was not lucky enough and instead the Rennes player made an own goal for Nice's second goal in this match. At least I am also quite happy to bet on Nice in this match, because Nice is still able to maintain its good trend until now without defeat. Therefore, Nice still managed to stay at the top of the Ligue 1 standings so far and also, for the next match it looks like Nice can still guarantee three points, because Nice will play away against Montpellier.

PSG have performed well, performed poorly, and performed in the middle of the season from the opening match to the last match, which means we have seen all kinds of performances from PSG in the few matches that have been played so far. In the early few matches PSG performed very badly, in the middle few matches PSG performed like an ordinary team and in the last few matches PSG performed in every match excellent. PSG have steadily improved their performance in the new season. All the players that Luis Enrique had planned for are now injury free which means that Luis Enrique does not have to struggle to organize his team. PSG must try to maintain this performance as they have been in the last few matches. If PSG can maintain this performance then they will win the title this season.

So far their performance has improved, they're getting better and if they continue to remain consistent we'll see them best of them this season, I believe the reason for their poor performance is due to the rebuilding process they had this season and now they're beginning to understand Luis Enrique's strategy they're not doing well in their recent matches and I believe winning the title this season shouldn't be a tough thing for them, cause their squad is good, they've got a better coach and even got funds to strengthen their squad by the winter windows, if need be.

 The only threat to PSG this season is Nice, so far they're the most outstanding team in the Ligue one cause they've kept an unbeaten run since the beginning of this season, and they're the only team that ate yet to be beaten,  however if they fail to win today if would give PSG who are at the top of the currently an advantage in the title race.

Usually, PSG wins the French League and there is not any competitor for them and winning the French League is something we are sure about it but still, they are not strong in the Champions League and usually, PSG fails to earn achievements there.

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.

I feel Nice will stay at the top for quite a long time and they will continue to dominate the top of the standings until the middle of the season. In this match, it looked like Nice had a good defense so that none of Rennes' chances resulted in goals. Moreover, Rennes fell even further when Nice got an additional lead after one of the Rennes players scored an own goal. This match looked fierce considering the referee issued 2 red cards to each player from both teams. This victory is very important to keep their distance from PSG who continue to trail them in 2nd place in the standings.
They're playing well, but I personally doubt if they can keep it up. The reason I say that is because their forward line isn't very productive. They might be able to pick up points against opponents with a fragile defnse, but what I'm worried about is when they come up against a club with a strong defense, because they'll definitely have more trouble scoring goals. I don't think having a good defense is enough, because to win the game they need to create goals to take the lead. There has to be a balance between the front line, midfield and back line.

Their consistency in Ligue 1 this season is still very much intact as not only are they currently at the top but to date they are the only club yet to taste defeat which makes this a very good thing for Nice.
Looking at some of the matches they will do now actually if they still perform like this then most likely 3 points can still be achieved but what I worry about for some clubs like this is erratic consistency.
In the big leagues such as La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 there are currently some clubs that can be said to be surprises such as Girona for La Liga, VFB Stuttgart for the Bundesliga and Nice for Ligue 1 but over time now Stuttgart has experienced problems and it is not impossible that clubs like Nice and Girona in La Liga will also be the same because however making some buzz at the beginning of the season is not a guarantee that they can be consistent until the end of season.

Monaco won again at home after beating Brest with a score of 2-0. In this match it was clear that Monaco actually played quite evenly with Brest but they had more chances with 6 shots on target and while Brest they were only able to get 1 shot on target. The first half of Monaco's lead was opened by Zakaria and in the second half it was closed by the winning goal from Golovin in the 69th minute. Brest was unable to catch up with the goal and they even had to lose one player in the final minute due to receiving a second yellow card after fouling a Monaco player. This is an important victory after Monaco lost last week against Lille and this result keeps Monaco stuck in 3rd place with 23 points and has a difference of 1 to 2 points from PSG and Nice.

Gladly I was right about this match and Monaco won the game however it was not hard at all to predict this match.
However the performance of Monaco could be even better than this, I think if they didn't lose some points and they had a good performance like this game in their previous games, they could easily be on top of the table like Nice.

The win of Monaco and Nice now is making the French Ligue 1 very interesting and competitive and honestly I did not Nice to win tonight,they have not been that consistent usually in their campaigns,sure they have always been a good team of Ligue 1 just not quite enough to fight for the title in a consistent way.Now they have 25 points with near half of the league games near completed as just some 7-8 games have remained until we end the half of the season.

Monaco on the other hand despite being there,they have made some errors which if they didn't they would be at over 30 points right now leading comfortably.Paris is back and we know when they start doing seriously they are the strongest contender,let's see how it ends.

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.

How far can they go that should be the question! But ¹⁴ Games unbeaten is massive, Paris Saint Germans are also amongst the club they won to keep such a great form.
The truth is they might not last at the top, but if they can go slower game by game then they can successfully qualify for the Champions League football next season. PSG are just mounting pressure and any slightly mistake, they're going through once again to the top.
Netx three fixtures for Nice are games I'm sure they can win but not hundred percent sure with Toulouse.
At the moment, Nice is currently flying high in the French Ligue 1 and I don't think how long they'll continue to do well in the league or how far they can go in the league should be a problem for anyone. Being able to remain as the only team in the league that's still unbeaten after the first 11 games is a significant improvement from what we saw from them last season and I think they deserve to be celebrated for their achievement so far.
Paris Saint Germaine I know will definitely take over the the top spot and win the league but as long as Nice still maintain to remain there, I think they should get all the praises they deserve.
