It seems like Lens have captured a big level of psychological advantage over Monaco by scoring two goals in the first 16 minutes already. Openda is doing really great things for his team these days. He scored both goals in this match as well. He has reached his 17th goal in his 32nd match in the league this season. This contribution is going to be really important for Lens to defend the second place against Marseille.
Besides they will have opened the point gap with Monaco at the same time. You know that they have been under the threat of Monaco too on one hand. I would never think that Lens would be this much competitive this season but here we are. If they didn't lose to PSG recently maybe they would have even still been in the league title race as well.

Currently, there is a race to go to the Champions league between Lens, Monaco and Marseille. That's why the Monaco-Lens match turns into something more valuable than ever. While waiting for Marseille to lose points, when one of these two teams wins, it will automatically push the other team out of the race. A critical match awaits us, where the winner decides his fate. I still expect a balanced match with a high probability of a draw.
Lens do seem like the better team usually, they may have lost their last game but that was against PSG so that was an expected loss, aside from that the last game they lost was in 12th February against Lyon. This proves that they have been very good team for a while as well. By comparison Monaco ain't that bad neither, just a month later, they lost a game all the way last month, and it has been a while so I guess they are good too but they got a draw and a loss in the last 5 games so they do "look" worse.I think this is a game between two very good teams and should probably change something in the long run as well. I think the loser of this game will be out of the UCL discussion and I hope that there will be a winner, because a draw would mean not a good result for both teams at the same time. Marseille would be the only team that would cheer a draw between these two teams because they would be that much closer for sure.
Lens vs Monaco
Only 38 minutes have been played in this match and Lens is already ahead by two goals. This is certainly not very good from Monaco. Being down by two goals is something that is really hard to come back from.
I am not saying that Monaco is not going to be able to make a comeback. But it is certainly going to be very hard. The halftime team talk is going to be really inspiring from the coach. The tactics will also have to change from Monaco. Otherwise, I don’t see a comeback from them.

Lens had a hard game recently against PSG and they were unlucky during that game in which they could decrease the gap between themselves and PSG and increase their chance to be the first team in the table while they are going to have another hard game in a few minutes and in they lose this game against Monaco they may even lose their place on the third position of the table.
Lens is still not strong enough to compete with PSG in the competition for the Ligue 1 title. I see that after PSG beat Lens in the previous match, PSG returned to winning ways, even PSG were able to show their strength when they beat Angres, which made PSG able to widen the gap to 9 points from second ranked team.PSG are getting ahead of themselves to win the Ligue 1 trophy because this season leaves only 6 more matches for PSG which allows them to be in a fairly safe position at the moment. Lens currently leads with a score of 2-0 over Monaco and if Lens closes this match with a win then they will be back in 2nd place in the standings this week.

It seems that the spots from two to four are still open and there are three teams able to compete for them and they are marseille lens and monaco and today two of them will face each other and lens vs monaco should be the highlight of this round lens has the home advantage and i like their performance better this season compared to monaco i pick them to win the game but i won't be surprised if they lose either that's how good monaco team sometimes is.
I feel Lens, Marseille and Monaco are all going to be in the top four, though i don't know in which order it is going to be, but i can't see any of them falling out of the top four in the Ligue 1 table. Psg have not been too good, but they are going to win the Ligue 1, all because of the other 3 teams in the top four were so inconsistent this season. Lille is the club in 5th and closest to the top four, but they are not going to break into it, the best they can get this season is to end in 5th and qualify for the Europa league, i hope next season other big teams challenge psg for the Ligue 1 title, they cannot continue to win it every season.

Marseille, Lens, and Monaco will fight for 1 ticket to the Champions League next season. against Monaco will indeed be quite tough. but Lens has also beaten Monaco 1-4 in the previous meeting. this will probably be a very interesting match because both of them will appear determined to fight for a ticket to the Champions League. and now that Lens are playing at home, of course they are currently preparing a lot.

If Monaco wins, then Monaco will have the same points as Marseille, but if Marseille also manages to get points on this matchday against Lyon then Marseille will still be in second place. But regarding the match between Lens against Monaco, basically so far this season Lens has been very well dominated when Lens is playing at home.
So yes, this factor means that of course Lens has a good chance of winning this match. But for my personal prediction it looks like Monaco will not give up easily either, because after all this match is an important match for Monaco to be able to compete to finish in second or third position. Therefore, I personally don't have a strong choice of which team will win this match, because Lens and Monaco have opportunities that can get them three points.

Current standing, PSG seems waiting moment for winning Ligue 1 tittle in this season behind 11 points remaining but Marseille have one match next tomorrow against Lyon. Have six matches left for PSG and seems not for winning two or three matches later if want get Ligue 1 tittle back to back after success winning last season. Indeed PSG success with Ligue 1 seems management unhappy with head coach Christophe Galtier after failure in Champion League.
Will PSG sack Christophe Galtier although success give Ligue 1 tittle or keep extended him until next season and waiting his reputation for Champion League success or not.
Will PSG sack Christophe Galtier although success give Ligue 1 tittle or keep extended him until next season and waiting his reputation for Champion League success or not.
Yes, it will be easy for PSG to fire Christophe Galtier, because Christophe Galtier does not have a long-term contract at PSG and Christophe Galtier only has a contract until June 2024. So yes, I think it would be better for PSG to immediately find a new coach to replace Christophe Galtier this season future, but I hope PSG will be able to sign a well-known coach who is used to coaching star squads and or big clubs.
Because, what seems to be a concern, PSG still hasn't got the criteria for a proper coach or the right one to train PSG to date. Therefore, it doesn't look like Christophe Galtier will be fired right away or maybe PSG will let him until his contract expires.

Half time from the match between auxerre vs lille. Lille was dominating the match since the first minute. As i predicted if lille will able to win against auxerre. Auxerre was getting positive trends after it was able beating some clubs that placed below it.
Lille was in the different level compared with auxerre. We can also compare how many shots on target being made and ball possessions.
Lille gonna win the match against auxerre. I can say that's an easy match for lille. that's why the smart people should pick lille. The current standing has been telling us about how strong auxerrer and lille is right now.
Lille has bigger win probability compared with auxerre. it looks so good to see that how dominance lille in this match.
Three points look so easy for lille in this match.

Lens versus Monaco is going to be very interesting and also important. Because in this match Monaco will have a chance to get ahead of Lens. This match is going to be 50-50. Both of the teams are quite capable of winning this match in my opinion. I know that Lens has been performing better throughout the season compared to Monaco. But I don’t think that will be a big factor in this match.
In the last five matches, Lens only suffered one defeat. even then, when they visited PSG headquarters. while Monaco, they had one draw, one loss, three wins. plus, these two teams are only 2 points apart. Lens is ranked 3rd, while Monaco is ranked 4th. well, this fight looks like it will show quite an interesting fight. because, both teams have the potential to topple each other. also, both teams both have players who were absent in this match. it's just that, I'm more interested in betting on Monaco. I'm pretty sure Philippe Clement's team will win this match and occupy the ranking occupied by Lens.
Lyon is currently performing well. Did not lose even one in the last five. That is the same case with Marseille as well. But Lyon is currently in better form. I believe this match between Lyon and Marseille can end in a draw. Not going to be surprised if the deadlock does not get broken in this match.
For the fight between these two teams, I don't really understand when referring to the odds provided by the bookies. but when referring to the statistics of these two teams, and by ranking. supposedly, this match was won by Marseille despite playing as an away team. I'm pretty sure, Igor Tudor's team will win their match against Lyon.

In the last match in the France League, there was a fight between the top team of the points table and a team at the bottom of the points table.
That is, the match between Angers vs PSG was held and in that match PSG defeated Angers by 2-1. PSG is the most star-driven and spendthrift team in the French league. PSG did not perform as well as the team they did last night. PSG had a good start but the end was not so good for PSG.
Angers scored a great goal in the final minutes to close the gap. K. Mbappe (9, 26) scored 2 goals for PSG". By winning this match, the position is number 1 in the points table and they have collected 75 points.
A victory that Paris Saint Germain really had to get, because their opponents were a weak team. But this victory is not satisfying in my opinion, because in terms of their game, they are far from good with their opponents who are at the bottom of the standings. If they can play much better, then they should have scored more goals than that in my opinion. It can be concluded, Paris Saint Germain is in great trouble.That is, the match between Angers vs PSG was held and in that match PSG defeated Angers by 2-1.

Monaco will be a very difficult opponent for Lens, they are also now in a position to fight for second place which is now occupied by Marseille, and if Monaco can win in this competition, then Lens' position will be shifted by Monaco from its current position. This match will be very interesting, because both clubs have a winning target that they must get. Statistically they do not have a significant difference this season. Perhaps what sets them apart is that Lens' defense is doing better than Monanco. Monaco's defense is fragile when compared to the hosts. But Monaco must also be thinking about that, so they will evaluate the defense before this game starts.
They are all in the struggle but currently I don see Monaco in any where close to Lenz. They seem to have the same target from winning this match and Lenz as we speak is the host team with some internal advantage than Monaco. Let's be better in terms of attack and defence. Lenz was overthrown by Marseille and I'm sure the clash with Monaco is a good chance to make any corrections after their shallow result in the Last match. I will only bet on Lenz to win or draw this match, There will be no two ways about itBut indeed their problem from defense is not very good in this regard.
Now we will still see their matches in the last few hours. This will definitely be interesting because apart from positioning, this will also be a battle between the team with the strongest defense and the team with the strongest attack as well.

Current standing, PSG seems waiting moment for winning Ligue 1 tittle in this season behind 11 points remaining but Marseille have one match next tomorrow against Lyon. Have six matches left for PSG and seems not for winning two or three matches later if want get Ligue 1 tittle back to back after success winning last season. Indeed PSG success with Ligue 1 seems management unhappy with head coach Christophe Galtier after failure in Champion League.
Will PSG sack Christophe Galtier although success give Ligue 1 tittle or keep extended him until next season and waiting his reputation for Champion League success or not.
The win against Angers added to PSG's winning record with 4 consecutive wins in Ligue 1 matches this season, the 11 point difference with Marseille made PSG establish themselves to win the league this season especially since failing in the UCL, PSG has become more focused on Ligue 1 to be able to become champion. on the other hand the defeat of angers certainly hurt them a lot even though playing well could reduce the defeat against PSG It seems that Angers cannot survive the relegation trap.Will PSG sack Christophe Galtier although success give Ligue 1 tittle or keep extended him until next season and waiting his reputation for Champion League success or not.
If they appear consistently in the remaining 6 matches this season, PSG can defend the French League title as well as the only trophy that can be won in the 2022-23 season. because PSG has been eliminated from the Champions League and French League Cup. Christophe Galtier's failure knocked PSG out of the UCL even though it was widely reported that he would be sacked at all. Galtier did not feel his position at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was threatened. He is sure that he will continue to manage Les Parisiens in the 2023-24 season because he has a good relationship with sporting director, Luis Campos. I also think that Galtier still has time to make PSG better next season

Lens are going to play their home match against Monaco before Marseille play an away match against Lyon. If Lens win their match and take the second spot back from Marseille this might cause Marseille players to feel some pressure over their shoulders. Because the fight for the second spot is going on really fierce now and this match is a quite challenging one for them as well. Lyon are even the closest side to the win considering the betting odds right now. I'm quite surprised with that though.
Because there is a huge point difference between them now in the standings. Maybe Lyon's being in a really good shape is also an important factor playing a role in these odds. Besides there is another interesting information about these two. Marseille couldn't beat them in away matches in the league since 2007. This is a huge record and I wouldn't take the risk of betting on Marseille while Lyon are doing well recently too.

If I want to compare these three teams for the champions league I can say I like to see Monaco in the champions league for next season because they had a bad start in this season but time after time they got improved and now this team even have the chance to be one of the top teams of the league and be in the next champions league.

As you said Auxerre has got 3 winning streak, so indeed it won't be easy for Lille although on paper Lille should be better, but this match will also be held at home of Auxerre so it's an advantage for them. But to bet on Auxerre I personally might miss this match, because this match is also an important match for Lille so they might make an effort very well to get points, even in my opinion there is a possibility this match ended will be a draw results.
I think that 3 winning streka was not giving auxerre guarantee to win the game. Auxerre was getting a win streak, but it was not against the big team. You must also remember that if auxerre was only winning three times against teams that placed below it. The match against lyon gonna be even harder than what auxerre thinks. LYON is also very consistent at this moment. This match gonna be won easily by LYON. I don't even to tell you why but you must also see the past history of lyon. Auxerre was only winning against weak teams three times. it's still means nothing to me.
Im still feeling so confidence with LYON rather than auxerre at this moment. It's very hard to predict but for me if LYON is still leading the way compared with auxerre at this moment. it can be seen from lyon's last five matches.
