LOSC is increasingly aggressive to secure points in every remain French 1 League match, of course LOSC is targeting the UEL group stage position by eliminate Monaco. After being held to a draw by Auxerre last week, today LOSC again managed to secure +3 points after defeat Ajaccio at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium
That way the competition in positions 3,4 and 5 will be even more excite to watch

It was a must-win and a free 3 points for Lille. They dominated
the game from the start nailing 3 goals in the first 47 minutes of the game. I was thinking the game will exceed 3 goals judging from the performance from lille but I later figured out that it will be difficult to score after Galciee performed illicit substitution of substituting Gomez. He was satisfied with the number of goals he had but the combination of Gomez and Cabella was the strength behind Lille's dominating performance and much was still expected from lille not  until this substitution.

But in the end this strategy was quite successful for them and indeed in this signpost after their superior Lyon was a little passiv and strasbourg was certainly more active in its goal, especially to equalize.
The score lasted to the end but it was quite unfortunate when they were too passive, they were a little overwhelmed and in the end there was one person who was driven out by the referee due to the red card that Lukeba got.
With this result, Lyon is still trying to continue to be consistent and try to achieve a better position even though it is still 6 points gap with Lille in 5 position but their chance is still in the rest of the match this season even though this is clearly very difficult.

Marseille and Lens are still too strong and good in second and third positions and of course, it will not be easy for Lille to overtake Marseille and Lens. Also, don't just because Lille played well in the match against AC Ajaccio, then you say Lille will be able to finish in third or second position. Because of course, there are still other matches to be played which of course won't be easy for Lille to continue to rise to second place.

Except, if Marseille and Lens get very weak and then Lille becomes the only good one, then it's a wishful thinking which is certainly difficult to come true. It seems that you are too quickly impressed with Lille just because of a few matches with wins, when in reality getting tickets to the Champions League will never be easy.

Lille silenced its opponent Ajaccio at home with a score of 3-0 without reply. Even those three goals were scored in the first half which also closed the victory for Lille. In the second half Lille added 1 more goal, only for this goal to be annulled by VAR. Ajaccio can't do much and they are increasingly tormented in the relegation zone with only 22 points so far.

Lille's opportunity is now getting closer to Monaco, which is only 2 points away in the standings. On the other hand, Monaco will only start their match this week against Montpellier, a little note in the previous game that Montpellier managed to beat Rennes with a narrow score, I think Monaco must be vigilant and not underestimate Montpellier so they can win this match later.

They did have a good run this season, unlike last season where they could only finish 10th. But, are you sure they will go to UCL next season? if you look at the current Ligue 1 standings, they are only in 5th place, while to be in the UCL they have to be at least 3rd. In addition, the point difference between Lille and Lens is 7 points, due to circumstances it seems unlikely that they will leave to UCL.

Lille has really played well this season, after they won the French league like two seasons ago they lost their team spirit and the next season they were really poor but am so surprise with the way they have turn up to play this season they are second in the league and they are Winning games easily, they will be going to champions league next season and I believe they are going to play very well.

Strasbourg was giving a tough game against lyon. The problem is owned by strasbourg if the club was always lack of proper finishing. The fact that if strasbourg was equal to the lyon but i can't deny the fact that if lyon has better defensive line compared with strasbourg.

Strasbourg was not so bad at all but its defenders lack of diciplin. Castello lukeba was making an unnecessary mistake against strasbourg which was making him got a red card.
He will not be able to play in the upcoming match against montpellier which was an easy team. Lukeba considers the next opponent as an easy team to be beaten. That's why he was taking a decision to get a red card.

Glad to see that lyon was winning the game. The result from the match could be predicted easily.

Well played for strasbourg. This team at least shows its quality against lyon.

The first half was over, according to many people's expectations, Lille won this match, and it was evident that in the first half Lille had already won with a score of 3 - 0. Andre Gomes had an important role here with the 2 goals he scored. With Lille's 77% possession, I'm sure that they will score the fourth and fifth goals in this game. It's a shame that Ajaccio will return to Ligue 2 again.

The Lyon team is moving forward quite dynamically. Given the team's progress, it is clear that if they perform like this, the team will respond well within a few seasons. In some matches the Lyons have performed exceptionally well, winning matches that were not supposed to be a win.

It looks like AS Monaco will certainly be out of the race for a Champions League spot for next season after losing to Lens, Current standing Monaco have 5 points gap from Lens inside have 6 games later but can't guarantee Monaco will catch Lens or Marseille points on Champion League spot standing right now. Ligue 1 have three top standings team will qualify to Champion League competition for next season and actually PSG, Marseille and Lens will lock this ticket. But have chance if the rival compete teams between Marseille or Lens loss points on six games left and Monaco have winning all matches left.

If we refer to the available odds, the two teams have the potential to overthrow each other. even before, I thought that Strasbourg would win this fight. it's just that, I'm reluctant to take risks, because their opponent is Lyon. so, I chose the option to bet on over 2.5 goals. fortunately, the game ended with a score of 1-2.

But if I refer to the statistics of these two teams, Strasbourg actually gave quite a fierce resistance. in fact they had the lead first in the 15th minute, but Lyon was able to equalize and turn things around to be a win for them. noted, Strasbourg looked to dominate the game, especially in the second half. they even have more opportunities than Lyon. Strasbourg has 3 big chances, 2 big chances missed. Meanwhile, Lyon only has 1 big chance. however Lyon had 4 shots on target. With this result, Strasbourg's position is threatened with being shifted by the team below it if they win the match. for Lyon, they managed to get back to winning ways. for me, lucky not to bet on Strasbourg but prefer over 2.5 goals.

I wouldn't say Lyon has "no" chance for Europe, there are still 6 more games left and there are just 3 point difference between Lyon and conference league as well. It means that they could end up winning and that could result with a much better result as well.

As long as they keep playing like this of course, we have seen them do so much better and I feel like that matters a lot. I know that it will not take a while before it could be like that, but I believe that the best thing for Lyon is to make sure they make some money, transfers are the best way to do it, but the hardest yet most profitable is Europe. Conference league doesn't pay that much but it's a start, they need to rank higher and get more money from the league and the conference league and use that money as a stepping stone to go towards making something else work for higher levels.

Almost 25 minutes has passed in lille and ajaccio game and still 0 0 on the scoresheet, lille are dominating the game and they will likely win their opponent is already relegated, ajaccio showed weak performance and results all season long on the otherhand lille team need the points so they can secure the fifth place in the standing.

If we look at the odds in that match, actually the two teams are not favored to win. I think the game will end in a draw with both teams scoring goals. However, it seems that the match took place quite fiercely which made Lyon come out victorious in the match. With this result, Lyon is still in 7th place in the standings with the same points as Rennes, with 53 points, only a goal difference away. Meanwhile, Strasbourg had to be willing to stay in 15th position with the same number of points as Nantes and Brest. This is quite crucial because they are close to the relegation zone again and in the next match they must win if they want to stay away from that zone.

I think losing against Lens by 3-0 closed the gate for Monaco to compete with Lens and Marseille for a Champions League spot now. Because Monaco are 5 points away from Lens now and it isn't going to be easy at all for them to catch up with them on the remaining game weeks. At least Monaco's bad performance in the previous game is making me think in this way.

Right now there is only a competition between Lens and Marseille for the second position. That position is pretty valuable you know because the team finishing the season there join the Champions League without playing qualification games. If Marseille don't lose much thing in their concentration level I will be favouring them to make it.

Lille vs Ajaccio

Last week Lille has dissapoint me because they were failed to earn 3 points from Auxerre and at that time Lille were very dominate the match they even got 70% ball possessions but Lille only can scores 1 goal and it only from Jonathan David penalty and today this shouldn't be happened again and they have to focus and return to winning ways

As promotion team Ajaccio probably will survive one season only on Ligue 1 this because their performance cannot playing as the fans expected and with only 22 points from 32 matches i think it's hard for them not to being relegated especially the league only have 6 matches remaining so Ajaccio target to survive for next season is quite hard

For squad update Lille player Tiago Djaló will ended this season early because of long injured so he confirmed will not available until june this year and for Ajaccio Yoann Touzghar will not in the squad because of red card which he got last week when Ajaccio fight against Brest and besides that so far all of Ajaccio key players will be available to play and this is good chances for Lille to earn full points from this match because Ajaccio conditions is not really good and hopefully they will performing well later and but the odds for Lille win is not very satisfied because the bookie provide low odds for them @1.21

The Lion team is performing exceptionally well. Lion's last match was a great victory, with Lions not able to make much of an advantage early in the game as the opposition attacked Lions brilliantly. But at some point in the game, the attacking side of the Lion team started to perform well and finally finished the game with a victory.

Strasbourg was defeated by Lyon and humiliated at home with a score of 1-2 even though Strasbourg has also played very well in today's match. it's just that the strength in Strasbourg's defense was so weak that they could concede 2 goals.
meanwhile, Lyon's attacking line is very strong in providing continuous pressure so that there are gaps for Lyon players to be able to score 2 scores.

I did not expect that Strasbourg could be beaten at home.

for some reason, I didn't see Lyon perform so well against Strasbourg. they only made 4 shots on target although 2 of them were legal goals. even in the productivity of creating chances, Strasbourg is better than Lyon. maybe it's because they are playing at home and also in a losing condition.
Lyon played well, but I saw that they didn't play their best. even one of the players must get a red card at the end of the match. it became a loss for Lyon.
