But on the contrary with me that I am very sure this will happen PSG slipped this season, Monaco is very impressive and they are currently above PSG not only that about them but Marseille will also be in this hunt in my predictions about the French League this season, I think PSG is currently on par with them and much different from last season, and this they need improvement but I don't think they will improve this season but as time goes by I think they will rise but not this season.
The French league is competitive, I wouldn't comment on the fact that the club's out there are not catching, they're just some random average club if you ask me. This season is quite different, anything can happen. The UEFA Champions League is mainly for tougher clubs that are ready to risk them out..What's going on in Ligue One? Paris Saint-Germain ranked second while Monaco sits top of the table. This is no good news for Paris Saint-Germain, they just have to revisit their plans and fixed things up. Paris Saint-Germain have more tough opposition than handling Monaco, it's definitely going to be really competitive season for Paris Saint-Germain.

Consistency is a major problem for most clubs competing in the title hunt, although at the beginning of this season Marseille and Monaco competed closely with PSG and have shown quite good improvements, but we should not be happy yet, let's see as time goes by if the performance of PSG's rivals does not decline, they will be able to break PSG's dominance and that is what most people hope for so that the competition in League 1 can be as competitive as the elite leagues in general.
Time passes slowly and I think here the French League competition will be tighter like the Bundesliga after Leverkusen managed to defeat Munich and so does PSG which is currently under the care of Mobaco and I think Monaco should be able to take advantage of this time because PSG is experiencing a decline if they are consistent and this week managed to beat Lille I think they have the strength this season to be the first.
Seeing that PSG is currently in a very concerning condition even though they can still be relied on but this situation will be increasingly difficult because their front line is no longer too sharp and I think Monaco must utilize their attack line to add goals so that they can be more confident in improving in this hunt.

Let's talk about this week's games in the Ligue 1...
Like the Monaco - Lille one.
The odds are like these. First of all, Monaco are having a superb season by still being one of the only teams without a loss. They are the leader now. I can't say Lille are bad either. They are decent in the league and it hasn't been much time since they did a huge work by defeating Real Madrid home in the Champions League.
I'm so confused about what to bet on. I assume I will try my luck with Monaco @1.97. BTTS @1.65 could also be a decent option considering they are productive teams.

In my opinion, when these two teams play, there is no clear favorite, anything can happen during the game, I say this because in the last 3 games in which both teams faced each other, Monaco won 1 game, Lille won 1 game and had 1 game drawn.
-snip
But looking at the performance this season, both teams are equally strong and if we choose to bet on the BTTS option it seems very risky and the comfortable option seems to be choosing to bet on under 2.5 or under 3.
From 7 matches, Monaco only conceded 4 times and Lille conceded 8 times. This means that both teams will choose to use a defensive strategy.
October 16, 2024, 10:41:20 PM
But on the contrary with me that I am very sure this will happen PSG slipped this season, Monaco is very impressive and they are currently above PSG not only that about them but Marseille will also be in this hunt in my predictions about the French League this season, I think PSG is currently on par with them and much different from last season, and this they need improvement but I don't think they will improve this season but as time goes by I think they will rise but not this season.
This season I also began to believe that PSG will be in a very difficult condition because there are several other teams that have started to make improvements in their appearance and performance this season. But PSG will remain in the hunt for the title even though I hope there can be a new champion this season in Ligue1 so that Ligue1 does not seem like a less competitive League. So I hope Monaco and Marseille can continue to be consistent in building their respective players in order to compete closely with PSG who have been known as the kings of Ligue1 so far.

And a very important detail that I observe is that in the last game in which both teams faced each other, Monaco was performing well while Lille was going through bad times, and even so, Monaco only won with just 1 goal advantage.
Indeed, if seen from the ability and consistency of both clubs, Monaco should have higher chances to win against Lile. But on the other hand, so far LOSC is also not that easy to beat, so both will provide quite an interesting spectacle, more ideal, because maybe there will be no one who dominates very much between the two.
Source: Monaco FC
Here Monaco have never lost at all, if LOSC can win, then they will be the first club to beat Monaco this season. Here Monaco has never lost at all, besides PSG, if LOSC can win, then they will be the first club beating Monaco this season. If not, then Monaco will continue their winning streak. But if they draw, then it is likely that PSG will immediately take over the first position and it may be quite difficult to take over again. So no matter what, Monaco will do their best to win and maintain their position.

Monaco will definitely beat Lille, I have no doubt about this, and I am going to be entirely sure about them when the time comes but for the time being Monaco seems like the best team as you can see from the standings.
I believe Monaco will fall, and PSG will be at the top but the game to do that would not be against Lille, Monaco should be able to get a win here.
I don't know if Monaco will be able to remain at the top of the league till the end of the season or not but the last time I saw Monaco perform exceptionally well like they've been doing this season was when the last won the the French league title in 2016/17 season. They've been incredible with their performances especially in the league this season and playing host to Lille this weekend, I expect Monaco to get all three points in that game. I believe Monaco will fall, and PSG will be at the top but the game to do that would not be against Lille, Monaco should be able to get a win here.
Paris Saint Germaine have not been able to be as convincing as we initially thought of them before the start of the season and if they don't improve significantly from what we've seen so far this season, then I think they might not be able to overtake the current league leaders.

And now Lille is in a sequence of 3 games without losing and even if Monaco is going through good times, Lille can still come out with a draw or even a victory in this game, which is why the bookmakers are placing very high odds in favor of Monaco if they win.

Monaco has been a pretty good team so far in Ligue 1 but even though Monaco is currently at the top, I believe it will still not be easy for Monaco to beat Lille. Indeed, I also admit that so far Monaco is also undefeated and moreover, Monaco will also play at home which of course gives Monaco a very good chance of being able to beat Lille. But I am sure that Lille will also do their best to hold Monaco but indeed, if you consider that they have good productivity so far then at least it makes us confident that the match will have many goals.
But even so, I am sure that a draw with low goals can also happen in this match because after all, Lille has also shown their strong defense in the Champions League when Lille managed to beat Real Madrid. So yes, maybe at this moment I am more confident in betting under goal, or maybe also with a draw.

And one thing to talk about how the yare looking these days, PSG is looking fine, sure they are not at the top anymore due to recent results, they are not doing great but I believe the best thing to do right now would be looking to fix some stuff and we could make sure that there are some stuff we can fix in the future and we need to be considering what to do and how to make anything better.
I believe Monaco will fall, and PSG will be at the top but the game to do that would not be against Lille, Monaco should be able to get a win here.

From the head to head results it is also clear that Strasbourg have never won when facing PSG in Ligue 1 so in this upcoming match it could also be the same because the match is held at PSG's home ground. And I also think that three points are a very certain thing for PSG this weekend, but if Strasbourg can draw with PSG, I think it will be a surprise for Strasbourg because at the moment I don't think Strasbourg can draw at PSG's home ground.
After the draw with Nice, they let Monaco top the table and now they can not afford to drop points, despite the tight schedule and difficult opponents in the Champions League in Ligue 1 they only need victories to prevent Monaco from going ahead at the very beginning of the season. Their opponent in the Champions League will be PSV, maybe not the most difficult opponent, so Enrique will be able to play Strasbourg properly and think only about winning.We have 70% ball possession for them in this game against Nice and 19 shots with 9 on target but still they fail to score any goal which was shameful for them now as we have end of the international break things are looking good while they will face two teams at home which will increase their confidence and performance level which is important because coming weeks are going to be challenging and if they fail to bring their best then surely we will have end of their dominance in this league where they were ruling for the long time.
They have few top quality players, but their performance is not as mostly were expected with Luis Enrique is doing good job with his experience but still it's not as PSG needed.
October 16, 2024, 03:39:51 PM
I hope the standings like this will always be seen until the end of the season in Ligue 1, because it will make Ligue 1 even more interesting because it can present tight competition.
Talking about Monaco, they looked good at the start of this season, there is an improvement that they can show. From the defense side they look solid with only conceding 4 goals from the 7 appearances they played. From the attack side they are also quite good with a ratio of 2 goals from each match. This is a good capital for them to stay in the competition in Ligue 1. I hope they can maintain their performance until the end of the season. Actually it doesn't matter if they fail to become champions, but at least they can prevent Paris Saint Germain from winning the title very comfortably and easily.
To be fair last year was dominant and they won by 9 points and that was a bit boring and I understand this, but if we are looking into previous year, Lens was literally just one point behind PSG that season during 2022-2023 and that was fun, I believe we could see something like that again, where PSG wins but other teams are closer.
Marseille is spending a lot to have a good team, they were horrible last season, but they are expected to do better this season, and obviously Monaco is doing great evident from the rankings. These three being close to each other would make the league so much more fun to follow and bet on because it would be close.

Of course not, because I think they will play impressively to get 3 points to keep the distance from Monaco in standing.

I am sure Monaco will have the power to compete with PSG until the end of the season, but PSG will be the team that will win the championship at the end of the season. I don't think there will be a team that can beat the Paris team. Monaco can surprise them, but it is important to continue. We need to have a successful season afterwards. We need to maintain stability until the end of the year.
But on the contrary with me that I am very sure this will happen PSG slipped this season, Monaco is very impressive and they are currently above PSG not only that about them but Marseille will also be in this hunt in my predictions about the French League this season, I think PSG is currently on par with them and much different from last season, and this they need improvement but I don't think they will improve this season but as time goes by I think they will rise but not this season.Monaco and Marseille are my references in the hunt for the champion this season because they are very enthusiastic with the strength they have, Monaco is quite good at building attacks and they can create goals from any aspect and I am quite happy to watch their match which has a brilliant strategy in breaking down the opponent's defense, and I think they will be champions this season.

I agree with you. At the moment PSG team or PSG coach Luis Enrique is not too worried about the Ligue 1 title. And now Luis Enrique's target is to perform well in the Champions League. But still we don't see a good performance from this team in the Champions League.
I would say the PSG team is still not strong enough. PSG's overall performance is still erratic. In particular, PSG lacks experienced players in attack. Dembele is somewhat experienced but not a regular scorer. And this is why PSG's overall performance is still quite erratic.
PSG team can not keep the top place of the Ligue 1 table. PSG is 2 points behind Monaco. Monaco is performing well. However, if Monaco cannot maintain consistency, Monaco will lose the top spot in the table.
On the other hand, the other thing is that it is not possible to do very well in the Champions League tournament with the team that PSG has now.
PSG may be able to take this team to the Super Sixteen and the quarter finals at the highest but PSG's current squad is not possible. So it would be wise to first plan for them to retain the local league title and then plan for the Champions League with this team.

PSG is so confident in the France league that they have not worried much about winning the league title so far. Until last season they have single-handedly dominated the France league and won the local league tournament every season but the opposite may happen this time. PSG have had a number of players leave as opposed to buying players and relying on the players at their club but now that they are not doing very well against other teams they may be stressing that they should have signed some players. However, if a new team wins the league in France, other teams will be motivated to do better and the league games will be more competitive. Now the only thing to be seen is whether PSG can maintain their title streak or another team will win the title this season.I agree with you.
