PSG easy to the title, but that's no surprise. Lens a 2nd place can be called a surprise, and how far will PSG keep its team together for next season? I think the supporters can see everyone go except Mbappe, you have to keep him. The difference between Marseilla and Monaco has become considerable in the ranking in the end. Monaco fought back well in the standings, but lost too many points in the first half of the competition to be able to make something of it. Qualifying for the EL seemed the highest achievable, at least we succeeded. PSG will be champions for the next 10 years without any problems I suspect.

The remaining three games, not difficult enough for PSG.  At the moment PSG are a little comfortable with a six-point gap. I think they will be champions this season. They have a great chance to win Ligue 1. Although there are indeed many reports Messi will leave soon and Mbappe will certainly get many offers from other clubs. Maybe Madrid will work hard for Mbappe while Messi I got the news that he will return to Barcelona, but I read one of the Arab clubs Al Hilal offered a contract of 500 million euros.  Source: www.goal.com

During this season since PSG had meant mistakes they lost many points other teams like Marseille and Lens had the chance to even take the first place in the table from PSG but since even these teams had some mistakes and they lost points, Marseille should race with Lens for the second place of the table and because the resend names they had Lens is one point ahead while they even played one game less.

We knew PSG's odds would be better. And PSG is definitely the favorite in this match. But let's not forget that PSG will be playing against a team that is trying to climb out of the relegation zone. And for Auxerre, it's a do-or-die match. A very important match for Auxerre. Auxerre will fight hard to win this match. PSG players have played very well in the last two matches. If they can maintain this consistency, it will not be difficult for PSG to defeat the Auxerre team. But I am afraid because the performance of the PSG team is erratic. The team is not able to perform well consistently. So I guess if PSG wins today they will win by a big margin. But I don't see the possibility of the match being a draw. Even a PSG defeat is a possibility.

What I see in PSG is that they will leave their star players behind, Ney's case is something else, he has a serious injury, it can be ruled out for now, but Messi's case is more important, he wants to leave, but to Barcelona? what will he do there? There is already a group of players who said that they were not going to allow their salary to be lowered so that Messi could come in and that seems good to me, a club cannot do that, I consider that as indirect dismissal, and also a lack of respect, They want to do everything that Messi did or wanted to do to not leave Barcelona at the time, so now the other case is in Mbappé, and I don't think Madrid want it, he already told them no.



Well, we know that all the teams in Ligue 1 are at a maximum level, but of course PSG is too and much higher. It cannot be denied that due to their problems, they have quite poor performance, but it will be difficult for them to reach them again. Personally, I think that these things with respect to PSG are becoming a lot thanks to Messi, it is said that Messi's shirt is no longer available in the official PSG stores, and if that is the case, it is because the player has already decided to leave, and that is not a good thing for the club, they are letting go of the goose that lays the eggs of gold.


There is no doubt about it , I think that it is the best team in Ligue 1 for now , for the next season I think that other teams will do much better, because they already have in their mind that PSG has some Troubles and that they don't they can Sustain what they want a lot , as far as I'm concerned I think they can make exceptions Regarding the players, the speculation that Mesi is leaving, that he is not leaving, that is something that should not even be discussed, the sheikh should not let go of this player or any, with the amount of money that PSG has it is for them to hire more players , to go for Haaland or to go for the most Valuable players , they have the Money , They just have to buy them.

This is a very interesting question and I think about it all the time, only it seems to me that this is not a question of such a long time, but everything will happen much earlier. In this sense, it is best to look at the Premier League - to some extent this league is in the future relative to others and now it already has huge problems despite the fact that it is simply flooded with money (even the club that ranks last there receives more money for TV rights than the champion of Italy).
A huge amount of money (especially dirty money, not business money that makes you make meaningful spending) leads to the fact that everyone tries to spend more than competitors (in order to succeed which is quite logical) but in the end it turns out that everyone spends all the money, even the best ones end up in loss because the profit does not justify the expenditure.
In my opinion, the Premier League is already close to this (just look at Chelsea as a particular example) since the number of top clubs is much greater than the "prizes" they can collect to recoup their expenses.
To avoid this dead spiral (when everyone spends more and more to outperform or at least keep up) a spending cap is needed, but with existing corruption, dirty officials and dirty politics, this will not happen. Will it end in bankruptcy? Quite possible. In the Premier League, this will be seen in the next 2-5 years.

Rennes got a comfortable win against their relegation opponent.The away team, who dominated the match in general, showed us a terrific first half performance with 4 goals in the first half.This score was actually enough for them to win the match, but of course the matches are not like that.In the second half, with ajaccio down to 10 men, rennes increased the pressure and managed to find one more goal and won 5-0 in total.
Lens, on the other hand, continued to maintain its claim in the championship race by not losing points in the tough lorient away.Lens, which reduced the point difference with PSG to 3 again by winning the match, will wait for PSG to lose points.Lens, who did not leave the match despite conceding the first goal, closed the first half 2-1 ahead with 2 goals before the end of the first half.Lens, who found the last goal towards the end of the match, got 3 points with 3 goals in total.
PSG, on the other hand, will fight with relegation candidate Auxerre.Auxerre is likely to push PSG, but I don't think they are strong enough to beat them.We will see how the match will end in about 4 hours.

On paper, PSG will win this fight easily. because after all, these two teams have a fairly obvious gap. both in terms of players, ratings and H2H. so, 3 points is a mandatory result for PSG. although several PSG players were still injured, plus Hakimi was suspended due to a red card. it shouldn't be a problem for a team as strong as PSG against Auxerre.
well, referring to the predicted line-up that Galtier will apply in this match. apparently, he will use the new system with a 3-4-3 pattern. because, now Ekitike is believed to be back as the main starter. even if the scenario says otherwise, it could be using the 3-5-2 pattern. what is certain, PSG must gain points in this match to ensure their ranking remains safe at the top of the standings.

On the other hand, even though Auxerre is playing as the home team, to overthrow PSG is not an easy matter. plus, several Auxerre players were also injured. but that does not mean, they will let PSG win the match easily. at least, Auxerre will put up a fight. and even if Auxerre falls in this match, their position will still be safe.  at least, for this week.

Sure.. psg will always be top team in the league, PSG has quality players and it is expected that they must lead the league. It will be shameful after having star players and they are behind other teams in the league.  Psg missed the Champions league title,  they need to get the French league title.

Lens managed to steal full points at home to Lorient with a score of 1-3. Actually, this result is quite easy to predict because Lens usually wins with a landslide score according to H2H statistics. On the other hand, in the match the two teams played fairly evenly, it's just that Lens was much more able to take advantage of opportunities that could be converted into goals. These results put Lens in 2nd place with 78 points and it seems that Marseille will have quite a hard time catching up with Lens with a distance of 5 points from now.

No matter how well the other teams in League One are performing, PSG are always beaten. And in League One, PSG will be hoping to secure the title again. Because other teams don't have the power to beat PSG. However, the PSG team needs to perform in other leagues as well as League One.

Of course, the top three positions in Ligue 1 will no longer change, PSG and Lens are two teams that can be confirmed to play in the Champions League next season. Unlike Marseille, even though Marseille's position will not change and still finish in third place, but Marseille still has to go through the play-offs. This, of course, makes Marseille still unable to promise to play in the Champions League next season, because Marseille must also be able to win in the play-off round later to qualify.

So yes, Marseille's defeat by Lille certainly made Marseille really lose the chance to finish in second place. But, with Lille's success in defeating Marseille too, of course, Lille managed to overtake Rennes. Also, with this victory, of course, Lille has a good chance of finishing in the top five at least for Europa Conference League tickets, or maybe Lille can still overtake Monaco for Europa League tickets. It will be interesting to look forward to, because Monaco and Lille are only two points apart.

Nothing can be expected from Auxerre to be able to beat Paris Saint Germain, the difference in quality from the two teams that will compete is very different, so victory shouldn't be a difficult thing for them to get. Just imagine if they lost this match, it would be so embarrassing. The championship title that is already in front of their eyes should not be postponed any longer.

Quite a lot of surprise results in the French Ligue 1 in today games,Troyes draw,Reims draw is something really that came as a surprise to me,especially Reims not being able to win against last place but I refrained from betting on this game as Reims does not play for anything and I choose Rennes which won comfortably with a tennis result against also one of the relegated team of Ligue 1 this year.

Now Lens is winning and I expect Paris also to win and things are looking quite clear for how the teams will be ranked in the end and which team will be playing in European competitions,I think Paris,Lens and Marseille deserve the places they have and then comes Lille and Rennes,well it was a predictable Ligue 1 this year after all.

You carefully listed their position out but let's not hope on the result to come out based on the position of these two teams cuz the PSG I know is very unstable and fun of feeding their fans with surprises. The only good news about the match is that it won't affect their position even if they lose,  it may if they lose more but I'm not seeing that happen.  But Lenz as we speak is already leading with two goals which I don't think they allow Lorient to overturn the score board. This should be a motivation for PSG.

PSG have always been and will always be the best in League One. Because so far in this league, there has not been a team strong enough to defeat PSG. So I don't consider PSG team as the best team yet, if PSG is able to perform one of the best in leagues like Champions League then this team can be called strong.

Lens has odds @1.66 today and i think it's quite fair because they as favourite status and not necessary to talking about recent performance between these teams because obviously Lens is clearly better than Lorient because during this season Lens has been change became an strong team and they can able to beat tough teams such as Monaco and Marseille and if Lens can able to win from Lorient today Lens will have 78 points which mean they will have 5 difference points above to Marseille

This actually good opportunity to collect 3 points because Lorient is not strong team and if Lens can finish at 2nd position at the end of this season they will playing at champion league without passed qualification matches and for today match Kevin Danso will be unable to played because of suspension but besides him other players will be available and i think Lens win is safe bet for this match although the odds isn't really high but other options such as over 2.5 goals also seems good

Lens will be taking full points from lorient very soon. Im not even feeling doubt about that. it's caused lens really needs to take full points to make sure if it will able to lock UCL spots from marseille. I don't even think if lens will try to miss it. It's very important for lens to win the match against lorient.


PSG will be facing auxerre which is a bad club in league 1. Auxerre has not yet placed at the relegation zone but it has horrible performance in league 1. No reason for PSG to lose against auxerre. PSG needs to make sure if it will be locking the league 1.

Rennes crushed host Ajaccio with a landslide score of 0-5 without reply. Rennes were so powerful in this match by scoring 4 goals in the first half and at the same time locking their victory even though the second half was still remaining. Even one of Ajaccio Alphonse's players got a red card which made them have to play with 10 people starting in the 63rd minute. The superiority in the number of players was put to good use by Rennes by scoring 1 more goal and that also marked the hat trick recorded by Gouiri in the 71st minute. Now Rennese one step away from fighting for a place in the conference league next season and is just 1 point away from Lille.

PSG odds are way better. They will play vs a team that is trying to survive from relegation so I expect some fighting there and all depends from the performance of Mbappe mainly in order to see many goals. PSG have its surprising moments and Auxerre are in critical situation down the table.
Many matches started and I see Reims and Strasbourg leading with 1 goal. Rennes game ended with 5 - 0 vs Ajaccio. Poor Ajaccio confirmed relegation and yet they got beaten hard.
