On the contrary, Nice is now in a pressured position to win their match to regain the ranking currently occupied by PSG temporarily at the top of the standings. which means, three points is the result they must get in this match in order to maintain their consistency and at the same time occupy the top of the standings. refers to the performance of the two teams, which will compete in the next few hours.

This season, the two teams have quite a gap based on ranking. It could be said that Rennes' current performance is not as good as last season. it could be, because Rennes has matches in other competitions. thus affecting their performance in Ligue 1.That is why Rennes is inconsistent when playing their matches in the league.  In fact, they only won 2 of their 10 matches, 6 draws, 2 losses. well, I think Rennes could give the home team some resistance and make it difficult for them to return to the top of the standings. I suspect that Nice will experience difficulties in this match when they host their opposing team.

Referring to the odds, Nice is quite decent. @2.11 and while Rennes @3.70. and this match has the potential to end in a draw. Well, so I think the +05 @1.77 handicap option for Rennes seems quite ideal. because if you choose the 1x2 option, it is too risky with what I predict. So, let's wait because this match will be held in the next hour.

Monaco's 2-0 win over Stade Brestois is an expected win. Monaco knows well how to beat Brest; they won four of their last five matches against them, and Monaco is fighting to be well recognized again to compete for the League One title together with PSG after a poor performance in the previous season because PSG and Monaco were the two teams leading the French League One in the past, but the arrival of big players in PSG back then dropped their performance.

Monaco is currently in the second place in the League One table, one point behind PSG after eleven match; Nice is yet to play their match, if they win their match tomorrow, they will go back to the top of the League with one point ahead of PSG, and two points ahead of Monaco.

And he seems to be doing a good job as well, looking at the last game Mbappe was nowhere to be found and he wasn't really there all that much, and they still managed to get an easy win without his contribution.

I think they are getting ready to not have him on the squad anymore, next season he may not be there and the team will be ready for it, they will of course have some more transfers yet again, they are not going to be silent all summer long, but I think the fact is simply just that they are trying to keep playing him, because he is paid so much and keeping him benched would make the fans mad, and then he will leave and they will be getting ready of him leaving while he is still there anyway to get better and be ready.

The PSG players have experienced significant development, perhaps this is because they have started to get chemistry with each other under the tutelage of coach Enrique. This victory puts them in first place in the standings, this victory is also important to maintain the team's confidence before facing Milan in the UCL league.

Seeing Lyon now is like seeing Ajax. It's a shame that these two clubs are Ajax and Lyon, especially for Ajax, which has always been the champion of this club and has also been a factory of star players whose selling points have always been successful for European clubs, but now these two teams have lost their reputation. in a bad situation. I hope Lyon is not relegated from League 1, I hope they recover soon.

Monaco winning breath may mean they will be at the second position on the table with a point behind PSG, and a point above Nice, they are currently leading by a goal and the second half of the game just kicked off few minutes back with Monaco playing at home.

Breast isn't weak with their performance so far in the season they have a considerably average performance, with 2d, 2l and 1w in their last five games they could possibly fight for a draw with Monaco but so far I don't see that happening because Monaco definitely wants to scale up the table taking advantage of playing from home especially in this match. Monaco is dominant so far in possession and goal attempts.

PSG's position will probably drop again when Nice plays their match against Rennes and manages to win because if they draw or lose then PSG will still be in first place in the standings. PSG has indeed benefited from the poor results obtained by its competitors so that previously it seemed difficult for PSG to rise to the top, now they are starting to find their position well and they must be able to maintain their performance well, as well as in the Champions League, where they managed to beat AC Milan in the middle of the week At home to AC Milan they should at least be able to get one point so that his position in group F will remain safe.

Anyone who's closely watched Kylian Mbappe this over the past six years can attest to the fact that the the France international is one of the most talented footballers in the world which why I think that there's no club that would want to lose such a gifted player.
Building a team around Mbappe is not a bad idea for Luis Enrique but sole relying on his brilliance for good results o think is be petty for a world class manager like the Spaniard. The Paris Saint Germaine squad is made up of so many quality and world class players and the manager must be able to create an enabling football style that'll bring out their full potentials in other to have a successful spell at the club.

Kolo Muani is playing normal performances is a sketchy statement. It is not completely wrong when you calculate his average performance per game in the past and from this season, but he can do better than that. This guy played in Frankfurt and scored quite a lot and also was creating chances for others a lot, but I thought that the synergy with Dembele and Mbappe will elevate him to the next level personally. That is why I am a bit disappointed because it seems that what he played for Frankfurt is about the best that is to be expected from him. But again I thought there is more and he just needs the right people surrounding him to play better than ever before.

Nantes 0-1 Reims. Reims performance its better, on matchday 11 they can steal full points from Nantes, and with that victory Reims position in the standings has now climb up to 4th ranks. The Reims team succeeded take over Lille position, because on matchday 11 Lille team could not steal full points against Marseille. But also it seems like Reims position in the standings still unsafe because in the next match the Reims team will be against PSG and I think it is unlikely that Reims will be able get points in that match, considering that PSG performance has also improved.

Mbappe role in the PSG squad is indeed very large, which is why management is trying as hard as possible to make him stay for a longer period of time. However, hanging the team fate on Mbappe is not the best way, it will be very risky when he is injured and the team will lose creativity. However Enrique has to face another reality, where there is a lot of speculation in the media regarding the future of his star, as time goes by the PSG squad has to play as a team and reduce dependence on Mbappe.

Lyon are the complete opposite of PSG at the moment, they are fighting to get out of the degradation zone and picked up their first win of the campaign this season. Yes, they haven't won a single win, even though the season has entered week 11. Last season Lyon managed to collect 62 points and finish in 7th place in the standings, the hope now doesn't seem to be much, to get out of the degradation zone and still play in Ligue 1 next season again, it's very realistic.

Another point loss for Lyon...    I don't know why bookies showed Lyon as this big favourite for this game against Metz. Even though it was a home game too Lyon were still in horrible shape. They were literally the worst team in the league with their form. But seeing those odds made me think about whether it would be a sign for Lyon to finally get a win.

But no. It wasn't like that at all. They could have even lost the game if that equalizer didn't come in the last 10 minutes. Even Lacazette can't focus on his game this season. He was maybe the best player of the team last season. They can really relegate if they go on like this but the season is still long.

Basically PSG managed to recover in this moment, because it seems that Enrique is also still trying to make improvements in PSG's performance that does not always depend on Mbappe. At least that also happened in yesterday match against Montpellier, when PSG won 3-0 but Mbappe was not on the list of goalscorers in that match. Of course, this is like a refresher for PSG, because from previous matches at least Mbappe always managed to score in every match. But about Lyon, I believe there is no more hope for Lyon this season and will likely be relegated. Although indeed, it is not wrong to expect Lyon to get out of the relegation zone this moment, but it looks like the taregt will be a very difficult target for Lyon 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.

PSG performance is fluctuating and right now they aren't that bad since Mbappe is playing good and scoring, otherwise they wouldn't be in the first place at all.
When we talk about performance, I wonder know if Lyon will be able to play good again before relegating? That seems to be quite hard apparently even with a new coach. A draw with Metz home? That's the best they can do? The players are suffering a lot psychologically, they don't agree with their coach strategy...

PSG's performance seems consistent to me now. Although they were inconsistent in the early part of the season, they are now performing consistently in both the Champions League and Ligue 1. PSG are unbeaten in their last five Ligue 1 matches and have picked up full points in four. Looking at their performance in the last 5 matches, we should not have any doubts about their consistency. Luis Enrique may have got the trick on how to get the best performance out of this team and he is applying that trick which is why the PSG team is getting one success after another. PSG are consistent now and if they play according to plan, they will be very consistent in the upcoming matches as well.

2 things that will not be able to happen here Because talking about performance now, it is certain that it will be very difficult for PSG, especially when talking about the Champions League because they are always faced with clubs that are difficult for them to pass so that the knock out phase for 2 seasons has never changed which makes this a consideration that should be more for Mbappe. and the second is the fans of PSG itself. We know what their fans are like, even some of them (not all) do not hesitate to come to the player's house just to make curses that are not too comfortable to listen to so such conditions will never change because the fans of PSG will also never regret what they have always done until now.

But believe me the strong performances by PSG are important for many reasons and one of them is that Khelaifi knows if PSG falls apart because of bad results and the fans also insult Mbappe and blame him for the downfall, the chances that Mbappe will stay for any longer than he has to will drop significantly. A strong PSG team that is highly competitive and perhaps also takes on some challenges in the Champions League successfully also raises the chances for Khealifi to convince Mbappe once again to extend his contract with them.

AS Monaco vs Brest

Both teams had same results last week that they were lose from their opponents because Monaco surprisingly lose from Lille and Brest have to lose with narrow scores from PSG and as a host Monaco recent performance was not quite impressive because 3 wins from 6 latest matches proven Monaco still unable to showing stable performance even so with Brest that this team was unable to win in the last 4 matches in Ligue 1

AS Monaco players today will be available because some of players just Like Balogun, Wissam Ben Yedder and Minamino was in the good fitness but for Brest Jonas Martin will be doubtful to play because he got injured recently and Monaco has a good chances to win the match considering their meetings statistics was more good than Brest and Monaco win has odds @1.77 which is this good odds to bets

This is what I'm talking about, it's time for Ligue One teams to exhibits outstanding performance against PSG. After defeating Montpellier, Paris Saint-Germain has reclaimed first place in Ligue One. Luis Enrique believes his team keeps going to make strides this season since that is the only way they can boost their chances of winning the league title this season. Although they expect to be facing competition from other competitive clubs, Nice and Monaco. Nice play Rennes tonight, and if they win, Les Aiglons would leapfrog PSG by a single point, but if they lose, they will remain second on the table.

Lens failed to maintain its positive trend after only drawing against Lorient with the same score of 0-0. I think Lens failed to steal full points in this away match and they should have won against a team at the bottom of the table. Even though in H2H, Lens can always win against Lorient, this time Lens had to accept a draw like the previous meeting. Lens also took 7 shots on target but all of them were stopped by the Lorient goalkeeper. Despite all that, Lens were still able to secure 1 point and currently they have the same points as Marseille. Meanwhile, Lorient must fight to win again in the next match if they don't want to return to the relegation zone.
