I agree with you. The top three positions will not be replaced until the end of the season. PSG, Monaco and Brest will appear in the Champions League next season. Many doubt Brest because they still have to compete with Lille for third place. But as you said, if you look at the remaining matches between the two teams I think Brest has a better chance. With a 1 point advantage over Lille they will maintain their chances of qualifying for the UCL. One defeat will make Brest fail to play in the Champions League. But I'm not sure Brest will slip up by losing to a weak team like Rennes or Nantes. Lille also have tough games against Lyon and Nice so I think it is unlikely the current ranking will change at the end of the season.

i didn't expect Le Havre to be able to make PSG almost lose, what an unexpected goal was scored by Ramos in the 95th minute.  Enrique played Mbappe in the 46th minute replacing Dembele but the pattern of play did not change significantly, I am curious if rumors about Mbappe's move to Madrid materialize whether PSG will still be like now, PSG is still dependent on Mbappe.

Montpellier vs Nantes also ended in a draw, their position in the standings has not changed.

today LOSC will face metz, this is an important song for LOSC, if they win then they can move up to 3rd place shifting brest.

Paris Saint-Germain will always be eligible and they're all in for the team, they can be straightforward for good results. Luis Enrique wouldn't fold his hands and watch his side loses three important points to an average side today, he ensure his players fought with the last possible strength to equipped the team's performance. Goncalo Ramos is the key player and have developed important skills to comprehend his position in the frontline. He's always looking for means to proved himself worthy of handling the top positions.

PSG actually did tried their best but then their opponent actually seem like they were lucky tonight and are able to equalize such margin before the end of the game which actually wasn't a bad game, i think PSG is actually preparing for the Champions league so that's where their priority seem to be the most and so they are putting almost every of their efforts and preparations in that direction.

Statistically PSG had a much better performance from that which their opponent had and PSG had home advantage, considering the team they were actually playing against, i think it's just in the fact that they placed priority in the champions league much more than they do in their domestic league at this time because they know their way around the Ligue 1 and definitely know what to do at almost everytime so they will be able to win the league if need be at the time of the league so i still believe and PSG not been able to win the game tonight and ending up sharing point looks intentional.

After their champions league fixtures, if they still get to perform same way then i could say they are actually experiencing some kind of poor performance but i think it wouldn't be too bad that they will loose their chances of winning the league title this season because of their form so they will definitely get to balance it at some point it's just to give them some time a d before the end of the season they will be back again.

Goncalo Ramos saved PSG from losing points this week and that's a little better in my opinion because at least PSG still has a face even though in this match they got 1 point.

PSG knew that the match against Dortmund was a difficult situation and indeed deciding to rest some players so as not to be too stressed and give space to the reserve players was a good thing that PSG did, it's just that they did not expect that Le Harve would play well in today's match.

Le Harve did not get much possession but they were very clever in utilizing the momentum of the counterattack well and 3 goals ahead against PSG was a very good thing they showed in today's match.

It makes sense.
Yes, it's just a matter of how we will see Mbappe lead PSG to UCL later. And how will his contribution be in the next match against other big clubs in the UCL. because, however, as hungry as someone who is full of ambition is, sometimes he has to be willing to bury that dream because the situation is truly unsupportive, because after all, football is a team. And sometimes, not the entire squad will really always be ready for the big match, or fight as optimally as possible.

And as we saw this time, in several matches, Mbappe has not contributed a goal to victory. Even this time in the French league against Le Havre, PSG had to recognize their opposing club very well. Yes, the final draw between PSG and Le Havre with a score of 3 - 3 was quite surprising. Because PSG is far more dominant. However, they were less able to optimize their attacks with more accuracy and pressure. Yes, in the end they can finally share points for this.

PSG dominance continue as they are already preparing to lift the trophy yet again this season, truth be told they have got no team that's ready to compete with them as they keep winning the ligue1 back to back every season but hopefully they will get a challenger soon because a lot of fans will start seeing the league to be boring knowing the team that will be crowned champions even before the beginning of the season. The teams you mentioned will keep fighting for who will occupy that 3rd position because they are almost in the same points and since they have few games left to play in the league, at the end of the day the team wirh the highest point will be at rhe 3rd play while the other team will come down to 4th position but the good thing is the possibility of them to qualify to the champions league next season.

PSG match against Le Havre ended in a 3-3 draw, where Goncalo Ramos managed to equalize in the 90+5 minute, while saving PSG from defeat. The draw was quite disappointing, Enrique fleet should have been able to win easily against this mediocre club, and make the bettors win their bets. However, no one can predict the final result with certainty, and what is clear is that PSG deserves to end all future matches with a win.

For Le Havre, the draw has saved them from the degradation zone, but if Metz gets full points against Lille, Le Havre will automatically enter the red zone. Meanwhile, PSG, even though we know that Enrique prioritizes the Champions League, they should be able to balance their performance in Ligue 1. There are 3 matches left, and I don't think PSG will disappoint their fans again in the future.

Next, PSG will face Dortmund, statistically Enrique fleet is slightly more favored to win the match, although we know Dortmund will act as hosts. PSG has a big chance of advancing to the final, where Dortmund is currently in an unstable condition, because they lost again in the Bundesliga. I think PSG will face Madrid in the Champions League Final this season.

Even with these beautiful records and achievements this season, they are breaking people's heart tonight and destroying the bet of gamblers. Of all days, it is today PSG have decided to lose at home to a small team that was just promoted seasons ago in the apex division and who are already close to returning to where they came from. Eighty-four minutes of play and the match is still standing at two goals to three against PSG, a result that will see many gamblers lose fortune. The only people that will escape loss tonight are those who played goals which was actually a more feasible option if not that a win appeared more conservative. Going forward, it is dangerous to play PSG because people may not know what option that will not make them lose their money.

Although Nantes is in a lower position compared to Montpellier in the current Ligue 1 standings but still, that even though Nantes played away, but Nantes really managed to play very well in this match. Because anyway, in the second half Nantes really dominated the match but unfortunately, Nantes still failed to score in the second half. But even so, Nantes can really put very heavy pressure on Montpellier in the second half until in the injury time minute two Montpellier players get a red card. At least, Montpellier is still quite lucky because the two red cards occurred in the injury time because after all, if for example the two red cards were obtained in the middle of the match then most likely Montpellier would lose.

One step at a time, Today's game is PSG's 31st matches so far this season, leaving them with 3 games left until the end of the season, and currently Paris St. German is topping their league with 11 points ahead of Monaco, Therefore, PSG losing of this game will give Monaco a chance to still be on the race of lifting the French Lique 1 trophy if at all Monaco wins their match because that would now reduce the points to 8 points, whereas at the moment they will have 9 points left to context until the end of the season, So I don't see PSG jeopardizing with this game today because of the Champions League game with Borussia Dortmund, especially when this game is taking place in their home soil, winning this match is super important because winning this game today has guaranteed them of the trophy.

It seems it is only Kylan Mbappe that is not playing tonight, at least among the key players. I checked the lineup and I noticed Dembele is there as well as Hakimi. Without two players, they are actually playing their first team of which they ought to deliver.


I agree with you on this because at the level of PSG, every win is important to them if not for anything, for the records. The coach also need the wins for his career, even the players. They will play the match competitively and with the squad I'm seeing, they will win the match easily.

I don't see any reason to see Paris Saint Germain losing this match. Even though they did not field their main players, they still have better quality than the main squad that Le Havre has. It would be very disappointing if they had to lose to a club that is in the relegation zone with their consecutive defeats.

Are they just going to let Le Havre embarrass them at home? I don't see that as making sense. Paris Saint Germain is already about to win the Ligue 1 title, and they will focus on the Champions League. However, they need to bring good capital before they play the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund.

It is true that they will also be favorites in the Champions League semifinals, but that cannot make them simply underestimate their opponents. Because Borussia Dortmund itself is a big club in the Bundesliga. they are very likely to beat Paris Saint Germain.

I just played this match 4+ goals and hoping to win the bet following PSG recent goal scoring spree. For their last three matches they have scored four goals in each other those matches so tonight will not be different because Le Havre is not a side to stop them from scoring. Besides, they are at a critical point in the league and defending is the last thing they will do because they need to win the match to escape relegation. They will come out to score and that is how they will be scored mercilessly. This is my prediction and the reason I am betting the match on goals, ignoring direct win which would have given me an odd of 1.37.

PSG is playing more for practice now than for the title because even if they do not win any match for now, they will still lift the trophy. PSG have no business reserving players because what they play now will determine how they play the champions league.

Mbappe has had a considerable influence on PSG so far, but losing mbappe certainly will not make PSG weaken, especially in Ligue 1 because indeed all this time what makes Ligue 1 attract the attention of many people is when PSG appears to be the only strongest team in Ligue 1, if you say Mbappe has a big influence on Ligue 1,  Shouldn't that be possible when Mbappe was still a Monaco player?
In addition, during this time Mbappe actually developed when PSG dominated Ligue 1 and if Mbappe was still and playing for Monaco of course we might never hear his name as a star player, in my opinion, when PSG can dominate Ligue 1 then automatically Mbappe's performance and name are raised to the surface because indeed Mbappe has been getting support from other star players in making him the top scorer.

Losing mbappe of course will not make Ligue 1 lose its prestige in the future, especially now that PSG has several names that are targeted to be replacements for mbappe next season so I think gradually fans will be able to forget mbappe later, what you said has actually been said by many people when messi and ronaldo left La Liga,  But is it now without Messi and Ronaldo that La Liga has lost its prestige?
Of course not because indeed players will come and go when the time comes and of course this is also inevitable in Ligue 1.

Unfortunately, there's no second Mbappe in the current generation.

PSG will not be same like PSG that people know except they can buyout Haaland lol.

I expect there will be declines in Ligue 1 where people not really interested to watch the match and perhaps less discussion in this thread too. Mbappe is like Ronaldo, he's the one who bring the crowd, not the league or the team.

In my opinion, this is a fair result for both teams, because overall it is not much different, so this result is the result they deserve. However, if Montpellier's winning cards happen sooner, then it is very likely that Nantes will be able to win this match. Unfortunately, Nantes had a superior number of players at the end of the match, so they didn't have much time to take advantage of their advantage.

This will be a threat to Nantes, because the team below them has not yet played Week 31. If the team below them can win, then they will be closer to the relegation zone. Of course, this will make Nantes hope that the team currently below them will lose their match in Week 31. Metz is only 3 points away from them, and below them is Le Havre which is 4 points away from Nantes.

However, if you look at the opponents that Metz and Le Havre will face, it is very likely that they will lose, because they will face Paris Saint Germain and LOSC.

The coming and going of a player is of course a common thing in football, so sooner or later it will also happen to mbappe, last 2022 season PSG managed to convince mbappe to stay at PSG after all season mbappe continued to be linked with madrid, but this season of course this is no longer the case because indeed mbappe's decision to leave at the end of this season seems to be inviolable,  Mbappe's departure will certainly make PSG fans sad because like Messi in Barcelona, Mbappe is an icon and also the hope of fans so far to win every match.

Losing Mbappe will certainly leave sadness in their fans but I think PSG will also be able to get players who can indeed be Mbappe's replacement up front, at the moment I think Mbappe's prestige continues to increase in Ligue 1 is just the effect of PSG's dominance so far in Ligue 1, so we can say even if PSG rely on the current players without Mbappe next season of course they will still be able to dominate Ligue 1,  Especially if PSG bring in another striker as a replacement for Mbappe, of course their chances of winning Ligue 1 will not change, Mbappe's desire to leave is of course because he wants to win the Champions League trophy, but doesn't that indicate if Mbappe himself does not believe if PSG can compete for the Champions League champion so far?

Montpellier and Nantes are mid-table teams who are struggling to continue getting points even though in that match the two of them were only able to share the points after a goal in the early minutes of the match. Currently the positions of the two are not much different, but Nantes still has to try not to get too close to the relegation zone so that they can continue to appear in League 1 next season. Because today several teams that are very close to Nantes will also have matches that might be a bit difficult for them to win.

What can we expect from Nantes' performance this season? Even though they have the opportunity to increase their total goals in the extra minutes when the Montpellier player received 2 red cards, it cannot be an easy opportunity for Nantes because after all, Nantes' attack is not that strong, so we have to accept whatever. The result achieved by these two clubs, a draw, is a fair result for both of them who are trying to perform well in the remaining matches this season.

PSG and Lille are clearly the favorites of most people because these two clubs are the top clubs in League 1 facing the weakest clubs in the league and being at the bottom of the standings should be an opportunity for Lille to continue to get 3 points to continue competing with Brest, PSG also has a bigger chance of profiting against Le Havre but whatever result PSG achieves doesn't change anything PSG is still the champion in league 1 because they have collected a lot of points so far but if they lose against Le Havre it will be very surprising.
