In a situation lacking 1 player, Montpellier still managed to score 1 goal and made Rennes have to admit defeat. Actually, Montpellier is also not too special in implementing the strategy, in fact they only had 2 shots at goal and one of them was a goal. Rennes, on the other hand, tried to take control of the match, but they were not very creative in dismantling the defense built by the home team, and made them have to swallow a negative result at the end of the game.

Lens took a nice and clear victory, but we must not forget that this team is 2nd behind PSG for a reason. Then you are actually just the best of the rest, quite an achievement in itself because in terms of budget and market value, Lens is far behind clubs such as PSG, of course, but also Monaco, Lyon and Marseille. We have also seen little of the latter teams this season in the competition, but also little result in Europe.

Lens impressively beat Monaco 3-0. This victory was much needed by Lens. Because some of the past matches were defeated by Lens, I think it is very important to secure the victory in the current matches. Hopefully Lens will continue their winning streak in the next matches as well.

You hit the nail on the head—the tussle between Monaco and Lens is shaping up to be quite the clash. Both sides are giving it their all to ascend in the standings, and they have heaps to prove. We're in for a treat watching this battle play out.

If I had to pick a side, I'd lean towards Lens having a subtle upper hand in this contest, considering they're the hosts and have a more robust defense than Monaco. But don't count Monaco out just yet. They're a powerhouse with a solid lineup of remarkable players.

Previously Reims lose against Rennes indeed I also think is reasonable because they are not an easy opponent for Reims. Strasbourg was a weak team rather than Reims and they were a team that was in the relegation zone before, but now they can make a surprise. Yes, it was an unexpected result. Also on matchday 32, I think Strasbourg team was really lucky because Nantes and Brest got unsatisfactory results. Now Strasbourg has the same points with Nantes and Brest, even though is like that I think they have a chance to move up again and stay away from the relegation zone in their remaining matches of this season but next match will very tough for them.

Montpellier managed to beat Rennes with a narrow score of 1-0. Of course, no one expected this result, especially even though Rennes had an away match at Montpellier's home, as the team that was favored to win, they failed to steal any points. On the other hand, even though Montpellier suffered a loss after one of its players received a red card in the 53rd minute, the result could not break Montpellier's spirit to secure victory at home. The goal scored by Mavididi in the 84th minute also sealed Montpellier's victory and Rennes had to go home without bringing a single point.

It's really very unfortunate indeed, because Nice hasn't won in its last seven matches in Ligue 1. This result is of course a bad result for Nice but yes, at least Nice is still in the top 10 in the Ligue 1 standings, and at least Nice is still in safe position.

Also, considering that Clermont is basically not an easy team for Nice, because the head to head record at least proves that Nice is never easy to beat Clermont. So, because at this moment their position in the standings is not much different and at least this makes an assessment of their quality which is not much different either. So, even though Nice is the favorite in this match, it doesn't mean that Nice can win easily, because failures like this have often been experienced too and this is not a new failure experienced by Nice.

In fact, PSG spend money when they didn't need to spend and they hired players they didn't actually need for example they hired many famous and expensive forwards but they didn't spend enough money to hire a better coach and that's why this team is unbalanced which can a reason for PSG to get bad results in both french league and champions league.

Nice team lost again today despite being a huge favourite against clerment it seems that they entered a bad streak and they are unable to win for a while unlucky for them in today game they faced a team in a great shape, clerment team just managed their fourth win in a row thanks to today three points they surpassed Nice team and they are on a safe spot in the middle of the table.

I didn't think that Monaco would be beaten with a landslide score by Lens. whereas, Monaco should have been able to compensate and provide resistance to the home team. unfortunately, Monaco appeared with a very bad performance. as a result, Lens is back in 2nd place with a difference of 9 points from PSG and 2 points adrift of the team below Marseille.

Well, speaking of Marseille. Today, Marseille will have a match against Lyon. Interestingly, these two teams are both unbeaten in their last five matches. the difference is, the results achieved by Lyon are better than Marseille. Lyon won three fights out of five matches. while Marseille, only won two matches from five fights. so, it's only natural that the bookie displays the same odds for these two teams. which means, both teams can beat each other in this match.

Even so, based on H2H history, Marseille has always struggled when they met against Lyon. it's just that in the first meeting of the season, Marseille won the match at their headquarters, even though with a thin score. Well, in this match, Marseille will not play some of its players due to injury. which means, most likely Marseille will not play optimally. that's why, we can refer to the available odds. so, the advantage is in Lyon's favor because this match they are the host. plus, their performance is slick. only, I'd go out on a limb to bet on Marseille. because, I suspect Igor Tidor's team will win this match as well as take over the ranking currently occupied by Lens

The condition of the Real Madrid team is quite good. Because the team has been able to perform amazingly in the entire league and expect to figure out how to beat the Manchester City team. But I think Real Madrid will secure the Champions League title if they secure the semi-final.

I think Lens is safe for qualification for the CL, as no less than 3 teams from France will qualify directly for the CL. You shouldn't even count PSG anymore, they almost automatically become champions. PSG has played 3 draws and lost no less than 5 times, and still lead by 9 points. The numbers 2 to 6 are teams that are all evenly matched normally. Lyon has come a little closer but only a miracle seems to be able to bring Lyon to Europe. I think it's too late. A great season for Lens this year.

I think Marseille is second only to PSG in League One. The Marseille team has been able to perform well in various matches. Besides, I feel that all the players including the coach of the team are working hard to take the team forward day by day. Because we can see the reflection of their hard work in every match.

France league have big match today between Lyon vs Marseille and we all know both teams in the positive trend especially Lyon that this team can able to collect 15 points from 7 matches and unbeatable so this is their good achievement so far because previously Lyon performance looks unstable and today their consistency will be tested against strong team Marseille

Marseille most likely wouldn't compete for race title with PSG because with only 7 matches remaining and 11 difference points then it's near to impossible for them to taking over PSG position and now Marseille only will compete with Lens for runner up position because if they can able to finish on that position then Marseille automatically can advances to group stage champion league without through qualification matches

This match actually is really hard to predicted because both teams had equal conditions and for squad too i didn't see any problem for them because their players in the good shape and only Saël Kumbedi who not in the Lyon starting lineup because of suspension and i can see Lyon were several times beat Marseille at home and maybe they will do the same thing today and Lyon win had high odds @2.60

An unexpected result, a match that should have belonged to Reims, instead they lost at home to Strasbourg. Even though if we look at last week, Reims also suffered a defeat against Rennes, but in my opinion that defeat is reasonable because Rennes is indeed one of the tough opponents to beat. But Strasborug was able to take advantage of the opportunities that existed to score even though they also lost in possession. Reims needs to really improve on their form for next week's matches, otherwise they will return to mid-table. For Strasbourg, these 3 additional points made them move up one level to a safer position from the temporary relegation zone.

People like actually very angry towards PSG. Not because they are spending way too much money. It’s because they are actually spending money where they probably shouldn’t.

You know, they are giving a young player way too much power as well. I, of course, blame the management of PSG for this underachievement. They should have won the champions league title if not, anything else this season. Especially with the type of squad they had, they were supposed to win everything and anything.

But they couldn’t actually achieve the main task, which was the champions league title in my opinion. I have lost hope.

Stade De Reims vs RC Strasbourg Alsace, this match ended with score 0-2. Reims really difficulty against the Strasbourg team, they couldn't score although they were playing at home, statistically also Reims was better rather than Strasbourg but somehow they lost in this match. On the other side it was an amazing game for the away team, Strasbourgh was able to get three points in their important match without conceding a goals, and they were able to make a quick score in early minutes of the first half.

Yes actually more expect them to perform well in the Champions League than in Ligue 1, the Champions League is a suitable place for a big tick with a line of star players they have in the squad. But until now they can't talk much more about the Champions League, they are still behind the other big teams in the competition, so it is very difficult for them to realize what they want.

I will be surprised if at all I never knew how anticipatory Lens has been this season.  in my opinion, Lens was so much conscious of the tough fixtures they will be facing, for that they didn't have no other mindset than winning Monaco. Now as it stands,  a draw with Marseille will not cuz a displacement in their position, it will only reduce their speed toward the permanency. I know a win against toulouse will give them greater confidence in facing Marseille

For a team like PSG people expect much more from them and we were expecting to see PSG in the champions league and even in the final match because they spend enough money and bought superstar players like Neymar and Messi that's why winning the French league couldn't be their goal for this season.
