Lens have performed very well this season and I see that from the previous nine matches they only lost against PSG, they were even able to beat Monaco and Marseille in the previous matches. This is an impressive achievement for Haise's team, even though the quality of the players they have is far different from PSG, Monaco and Marseille, their consistency has produced quite satisfying results until the 34th week.

It is difficult for Monaco to catch Marseille in third place with five games remaining, because after all Marseille will try to finish in the Champions League for next season even though they have to go through the Qualification route. Entering the 19th minute PSG have scored one goal through Kylian Mbappe and I think it will be an easy match for PSG and I predict PSG will win the match by more than three goals.

It was an unexpected match and never expected Lyon to win the match when they were down by 1 to 4 in the 55th minute and the odds for Lyon to win was astronomical and never expected them to win the match even when i saw huge bets placed on them in stake and someone placed $1.5 million bet for Lyon to win before the match started and magically the tide changed in the 59th minute and the winning goal was scored during the  10 minute of the extra time .

It was indeed an exciting game to watch. It was a tragedy for Montpelier who saw their winning in the first half, and there after cealed it with extra two goals in the early hours of the second half but Threw it all away as a result of absurd substitution. Wahi, Maouasad and Fayad we're the brain behind Montpelier way victory. This was changed after Maouasad and fayad were removed from the pitch leaving wahi who couldn't have a good ball play as a result of these substitution. I believe Micheal Zacharian has learnt from today mistake.

This is not what it will come down to in this game. With the noise that happened at PSG over the whole week, there is a lot of uncertainty now and if they concede a goal , even only a lucky one, I believe that PSG would get nervous as they would allow Lens to stay in distance. If everyone wants excitement, the best that could happen now is if Troys has some luck in this game and can manage to score the first one. Everything else must be seen, but it would hype the players on Troyes team and would also get the PSG squad to be nervous.

Troyes is not a tough opponent for PSG, look at the difference in their current position in the standings. Troyes have conceded 70 goals in 33 games so far, they are the second worst team in defense after Angers with his 73 goals. Even if PSG are not reinforced by Messi for personal reasons, I think Mbappe will bring PSG to win this match with a score of maybe more than 4 goals.

The defeat to Lorient in the last game should be a separate motivation for PSG today. They can't afford to lose anything for the rest of the season as that would put them in danger of not winning the title this season. Today PSG has a very high probability of winning, so I won't place any doubts on them.

Troyes vs PSG

In a few moments, we will witness PSG's match against Troyes. well, if PSG play their starting eleven, Troyes is not a big problem for them to overthrow. unfortunately, there have been a lot of problems that have occurred in the PSG camp since the start of the season and until now. for sure, PSG experienced many problems in the locker room, plus their management. since Neymar's absence, SPG's front line has experienced a decline in performance. also, the supporting players don't contribute much to help the front line players when building attacks. in this match, PSG visited the Stade de l'Aube, the headquarters of Troyes. in fact, this fight should not be a problem for a team as strong as PSG. it's a shame, in this match Galtier faced many problems, including not playing Messi. apart from that, Hakimi, who was given a red card, Mendez, Renato Sanches, was injured. which in the end, Galtier had to play the available players.

Referring to the predicted line-up that Galtier will implement, it looks like he will use a 4-4-2 pattern, pairing Mbappe and Ekitike as center forwards. or, Galtier's usual formation of late 3-5-2. yes, approximately, what Galtier implements will not be far from this prediction. well, I will focus more on seeing how PSG's midfield players play, if their performance is good. Troyes is not a difficult problem for them to overthrow.

On the other hand, Troyes will apply the 3-4-2-1 pattern, that means, they are ready to provide fierce resistance for their opposing team. referring to the available odds, PSG is still superior in this match. I'm confused, with PSG's current strength, bookies still favor PSG. even at low odds. if i had to choose, i'd pick both teams to score, at odds @1.73. because, the odds of PSG @ 1.29, are not ideal. however, PSG has a high probability of winning the match assuming the match ends with a score of 2-1.

Monaco had a bad start during this season and they lose many points while other teams were collecting I think if they had a good performance as we see in recent weeks, they could even have a better place in the table while they are in fourth place of the table and if they lose points they can lose the chance for the next Europa League, however, Angers lost all the last five games they had against Monaco and I don't expect to see them make any problem for Monaco today.

What a finish between Lyon and Montpellier and Lyon hence keeping the chance to make it at least into the Conference League next season. If this doesn't give them a push for the upcoming games, I don't what could!

I am sure Elyhe Wahi was already celebrating himself as the big hero of the game. But then everything turned against them and who is the real hero now? Lacazette, with four goals as well although as spectacular as Wahi who scored his goals within just 15 minutes. But who cares if you lose the game in the end. In this game the audience got something to watch for their money!

Nantes' performance this season has been very poor and they have struggled to win in almost all of their matches. Strasbourg deserved this victory and the game ended 0-2 without any additional goals in this match. These results make Nantes sink further into the relegation zone and Strasbourg rises to a safer position from the zone. We will still be waiting for the first win from Nantes because in the last 10 matches they have not won at all and for the most part they have only lost and drawn. There are 4 games left for Nantes, if they still can't win then they won't be in Ligue 1 next season.

Really enjoyed the Lions match tremendously. I thought the match would be a 4-4 draw in the end. But the Lions managed to score a remarkable goal in the last minute of extra time. Lion's celebration was truly a sight to behold.

the match between lyon vs montpellier was very exciting, the two teams attacked and defended each other, lacazette successfully scored 3 goals in this match while the montpellier player (wahi) successfully scored 4 goals in this match, i think wahi is the man of the match and he still has opportunity to make his fifth goal in this match.

Almost all of this round games are over except for the psg one which they will likely win, strasburg team managed an important win today because they managed to beat one of their relegation rivals and got out of the zone i think they were the most profitable team in this round along side lens who by beating marseille they took over their spot which will allow them to play the champions league next season.

Well, this fight was beyond my expectations, it's a shame that Samuel Gigot was injured in this fight, Igor Tudor had to withdraw him in the 29th minute. two other defenders, such as Sead Kolasinac and Mbambe played underperform. which in the end, Lens managed to score in the 42nd minute. unfortunately, Sanchez also had problems in this match so he was pulled out in the 46th minute. which in the end, Marseille was unable to display its best performance. although from statistics, Marseille has less ball possession with 57%.

On the other hand, Lens managed to shift Marseille's ranking even though it was only 2 points apart. if Lens is able to win the remaining matches, then they will automatically qualify for the Champions League. or, Lens could just shift PSG's ranking, if Galtier's team's squad slipped in its last few matches. for sure, the rest of this match makes this competition more interesting.  So, in a few hours PSG will have a match against Troyes, let's see how these two teams fight in this match.

PSG not only has a three-point lead over Lance, but also has one game to spare. In any case, it is true that Lance had a phenomenal season and the fact that with its financial capabilities Lance is fighting with PSG for the championship to the end speaks volumes.

In general, most likely the first three will not change and there will be PSG, Lance and Marseille, but who will take what place will show the next rounds.
Monaco is also likely to finish fourth and qualify for the European Cup, but Lille and Rennes are probably still fighting for fifth place and for a ticket to the European Cup.   

If Galtier gives him priority on the pitch instead of using him only as support for other strikers, we might have seen something different this time around. It all depends on the management, if the team wants something more from Messi then they have to give him more power on the pitch

I don't think it's the right choice to leave Paris Saint Germain considering his short career period, I doubt there is another big team in Europe who wants to use his talent, but if he wants to follow in the footsteps of CR7 he will end his career at a different level

Lens' advantage in this match was very clear even though Marseille controlled the match and had more ball possession than Lens, as a host Lens had a lot of full support from their supporters they played well, I'm happy to see Lens can get Three points from this match, you can see it is clear that Lens is much better than Marseille, even Lens can score two goals against Marseille, but even so Marseille can reduce their defeat in the 88th minute to Payet.

Lens has a three-point gap from PSG at the moment but If tomorrow PSG wins against Troyes then Lens' opportunity to get even closer and will have a difference of six points, but Lens played quite well in the game against Marseille. they deserve to win

The match between Nantes vs Strasbourg in the French Soccer League is almost over. Strasbourg is still leading by 2 goals. Nantes team has not scored any goals yet. Strasbourg has scored 2 goals before half time. Now it is a matter of seeing if Nantes team will score 2 goals.  If they can score, this match will be a draw. It seems that Nantes will not score any goals. The quality of the players of Nantes team is very bad. Strasbourg team will probably win today by 2 goals.

Im still watching the match between nantes vs strasbourg now. Nantes was losing 0-2 in the second half. Strasbourg was dominating the match against nantes by making more shots with good accuracy. Duo habib was able making strasbourg to win the game against nantes. I see no chance anymore for nantes at this moment.
It will get no points from this match. Nantes will be relegated this season with anger, ajaccio and troyes. These clubs are rarely getting win in the league 1. Surprisingly strasbourgh was able leaving from the relegation zone at the end of season.

The result is quite clear if nantes lose in this match against strasbourg. I think that's gonna be a disaster for nantes caused by it will be going to the lower division again.
Poor nantes. It could do even better this season rather than always become a team that was always giving easy points to another club.

This match is quite exciting and indeed for Lens this is clearly very good because they apart from successfully stopping the series of positive results from Marseille, they have also now taken over position 2 with a gap of 2 points in this match/.
But if Alexis' goal hadn't been ruled out by VAR at the start of the first half, then I think it could have been the difference but when it was ruled out Lens still went back to their original scheme and that's a good thing for them.

With the current situation, they might be able to get 2nd place if results like this continue to happen especially if they see their opponents in the remaining matches I think this is not a significant problem for now.

The Lens game against Olympic Marseille yesterday ended in a 2:1 win for Lens. Like I said last week, Lens has been the surprise of the season as no one expected them to be competing for the title at this stage of the French domestic league season.
Their win yesterday closed the gap between them and league leaders Paris Saint Germain to jus three but just that PSG has an outstanding match. Lens has already outdone the expectation of their fans this season but they're still trying to make history by winning the league French Ligue 1 title which I think isn't impossible considering the current happenings at  PSG
