It will not be easy bro. Lyon is on 36th while the two others above them is on 35. It will be very hard for them to lose their next match.  Even though Lille will be having a top fixtures, I don't think they will leave that position for Renes or lyon. The season is at it's peak, everyone knows what a point lose could cause. Marseille and Monaco remains unperturbed even at losing their next two matches for that Marseile will be expecting a comfortable ball moment, without giving too much pressure but this will be a different case for lille. I'm not seeing lyon above where they are currently.

I think Lyon deserves to join the UEFA Conference league. They played very good football in this match. Both Lyon and Lacazette reminded me of their old days. If they continue to play like this, they can finish the league in a better place next season. If Cherki had scored in the position before Lyon's second goal, it would have been the best goal of the French League 1 this season. It might even have been the best goal scored in all leagues. Cherki narrowly missed receiving the Puskas prize. He is one of Lyon's most notable players this season.

There is still a chance but it won't be easy to get, because even if Lille fails to win and has to be shifted, they still have to compete with Rennes who haven't played their match this weekend. Tight competition between the three teams, between Lille, Rennes and Lyon. They will be able to get where they want when they are consistent and that also has to look at the other teams' matches.

There you go, you answered the question yourself. It is about politics and greenwashing. The name Paris Saint. Germain is as perfect as it can get if you pursue an agenda that is about more than just sports. Paris is a serious name in the world, it spreads amazingly around the world when they achieve something in sports, and at best to win the Champions League.

When a sheikh invests money into a soccer club, is not about making a profit, it is about presence and influence. You get to talk with the most important officials from the biggest associations around the world. FIFA, UEFA and many more. There are very interesting articles regarding how many engagements the sheikhs already have around the world. There influence in sports is massive. I mean what else can I tell you when Saudi Arabia is going to be the host for the Olympic Winter games? Winter games in Saudi Arabia.

Yes, it's a matter of money. But tell me why should any sheikh invest in Ligue 1 (which have very weak financials) and not in the Premier League or La Liga or even Serie A which is historically more prestigious? I see no reason for this. Even the investment in PSG is said to have been driven by France and Qatar's close ties and political trade-offs.

Playing as the host for Lyon at the Groupama Stadium, the hot duel between Lyon vs AS Monaco was won by Les Gones with a score of 3-1. Whereas previously AS Monaco had excelled through a quick goal from Wissam Ben Yedder, however, Lyon was able to turn things around through goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Maxence Caqueret and Mathis Ryan Cherki. Looking at the ball possession statistics, Lyon: 64%, Monaco: 36%. Lyon's solid defensive line made AS Monaco fail to catch up.

But even though Lyon won and got three points it doesn't seem to change the ranking of the two teams. Because Lyon is still stuck in seventh place with 59 points. Meanwhile, AS Monaco also stayed in fourth place with 65 points.

Getting a win against Auxerre will be enough for PSG to reach the point of almost announcing their title. Yes maybe score difference is the first criteria to do such thing in the Ligue 1. But it is like there is no way Lens and Marseille are reaching PSG's goal average even if PSG lose their remaining 2 games and those two teams won theirs.

From now on, the most important thing for PSG is going to be to choose their next manager wisely. Because I was already uncomfortable with their announcing Galtier as their manager at the beginning. Look where they are now. This isn't a successful season for them clearly. Winning the Ligue 1 title is already a thing they do like almost every season.

I hope that they bring a solid and experienced manager with big teams to be more competitive in the Champions League. Because Manchester City are very close to winning that title for the first time and PSG will still just watch this from a long distance. 

In the last 5 matches that Lille played, they can be said to be in a not very stable performance. considering that Lille was only able to win 2 matches, and even then when they were against a team that was not too strong. The other 2 matches, only resulted in a draw and 1 loss against Reims. in this match, Lille will host Marseille, whose performance is slightly better than them. plus, several Lille players will be absent due to injuries. so, don't get your hopes up if Lille will play with its best performance to overthrow the opposing team in tonight's game.

On the other hand, Marseille needs a win over the opposing team. in this match, Marseille will challenge Lille to get 3 full points. plus, shifting the ranking occupied by Lens even if only temporarily. at least with a point behind, it is hoped that Lens will be under pressure when they carry out their match when they travel to Lorient headquarters. however, it looks like several Marseille players will likely be absent and one of them is Samuel Digot who is doubtful that he will be the main starter in this match.
even so, like it or not, Igor Tudor had to bring his team to victory in the rest of their matches.

And if we refer to betting, there is nothing more favored by the bookies in this fight. it seems, the match will take place quite tough. or, there is a high probability that the match will end in a draw. and if we bet on the 1×2 option, both have almost the same odds. Lille with @2.47, while Marseille with @2.70. a draw is the ideal option at odds @3.20. however, I prefer to bet on Marseille with the 0:0 handicap betting option. meaning, if this fight is a draw I will not lose the bet.

The thing is Clermont is a weak team and compared to Monaco they don't have a strong team to stand against a team like Lyon but in the end, Lyon lost the match against Clermont with a 2-1 result and I could predict see that coming up for that match while Lyon won the game against Monaco with 3-1 and I was expecting to see Lyon losing that game.

A quick goal from Monaco actually didn't discourage Lyon because it proved that the Lyon team was able to equalize in the first half and continued to give their best performance in the second half until Lyon got the win even though the win didn't change their position in the temporary standings. Apart from that, I also want to see how Lille vs Marseille perform today because Marseille is also trying to reach second place by expecting a defeat to Lens.

As I previously predicted that Lyon would be able to beat Monaco at home, a score of 3-1 is very good for Lyon to lock in victory. Lyon dominated the whole match and they scored three goals in two different times, while Monaco only got one goal from the penalty spot in the first half.

This result makes Lyon even closer to Lille and they have the same achievement as Rennes. It looks like Lyon still has a chance of securing a place in the conference league at the end of the season if Lille fails to win against Marseille in tomorrow's match and it is one of the most important games for Lille to retain its current place.

Lille will face Marseille later and it's definitely not a match that will go easy, because Marseille has big ambitions to shift Lens' position which is currently ranked 2nd. but if Lille fails to win in this match, their position in the standings will also be threatened because Rennes and Lyon continue to get close to them and the difference in points is very thin.

PSG is unlikely to face a major hurdle in picking up full points against Ajaccio. PSG is in good form, while Ajaccio's overall condition is poor. PSG should grab an easy win in this match. I believe PSG players will not make any mistakes in this match. and will secure the Ligue 1 title.

It is certain that Messi will not be with PSG earlier in the season. At the same time, PSG management is not interested in keeping Neymar in the team. Neymar has been out injured for most of the season. So PSG does not benefit by keeping Neymar in the team. But is it certain that Mbappe will leave the team? I have not seen any news regarding this. PSG will face dire problems next season if Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar leave the team together. The team may even lose dominance in Ligue 1.

Lyon got a good score for themselves by beating Monaco. Although this defeat does not pose great risks for Monaco, it will still cause a 2 point difference between them if Lille wins the missing match. Lille has to beat Monaco in order to go to the Europa League. This win of Lyon made Lille fans happy.

The Lion team is at number seven in the points table of League One. Even if nothing great can be done from this place, the team is able to improve their team ability by performing well. However, if this team performs a few more matches, it may be able to climb up the points table.

Yep, with 23 attempted shots, 11 shots on target and 63% possession they had. Lyon deserved to win. But it seems that like last season, they will not be able to be in the top 4, the best possible result they can get at the end of the league is to be in the top 5 and play in the UECL qualifications. Actually they can still get the top 4 position, but it is a very difficult thing, what do you think? Can they still get the best position with the current conditions in the standings?

An interesting match was presented in this match, both teams appeared determined but in the end Lyon was able to beat Monaco with a score of 3-1. Lyon were surprised by a quick goal from Monaco, but just before halftime they were level at 1-1. In the second half Lyon tried to take the initiative, and they were able to score 2 additional goals to make them win this match.

Lyon did not perform well against Clermont. I wouldn't even say that Lyon's players performed poorly. Unfortunately Lyon lost 2-1. But Lyon attacked a lot. Clermont won because their defenders performed brilliantly in this match.
Lyon's players made no mistakes against Monaco. Lyon was well aware of Monaco's strong team. And this is why Lyon played attacking from the beginning of the match. And in the end, the team was able to win the match 3-1. But while this match was important for Monaco, there was no important match for Lyon. Despite earning full points in this match, the Lyon team's position is seventh in the points table.

The Lyon team performed exceptionally well in the last match. Lyon managed to beat Monaco 3-1. However, Monaco needed to perform better in this match. But the Lyons' defense is performing brilliantly as well as the attack.
