Very interesting matches to watch for Paris Saint Germain and Troyes this week. They reciprocated goals by creating 7 goals from both. Troyes took the lead in the 3rd minute and Paris Saint Germain could equalize in the 24th minute. Then Troyes did the same in the second half by scoring in the 52nd minute but it didn't take long for Paris Saint Germain to equalize again in 3 minutes intermittent. Then Paris Saint Germain could turn 2 goals ahead thanks to goals from Neymar and Mbappe's penalty. Troyes who tried to catch up was only able to create 1 goal in the 88th minute.

Marseille team will need a win today to wash away the three consecutive losses in the last three rounds and to keep the fifth spot and maybe move up the ladder and take one of the champions league spots but it will not be easy since its an away game against a team in danger of relegation strasburg that had a bad start this season unlike the last one so marseille team need to be careful.

Marseille are now two goals ahead in a match which is now in the second half. And I think that it is a game that is not so difficult for Marseille to win because the Strasburg team did not have such a good performance this season so Marseille will not be so difficult to win that game at home to Strasburg although need to be careful because Strasburg are also trying to keep himself from being in a relegation position.

Paris Saint-Germain 4 : 3 Troyes

what the hell just happened? before this match the bookmakers were giving an odd of @1.10 in case PSG wins the match, but to everyone's surprise the match was not easy for PSG who conceded 3 goals in this match, maybe it's the result of tiredness from the match Champions League

PSG played an attacking strategy today, and they prioritized attacking more than keeping the defense strong. And that's why they conceded three goals today. However, we were treated to an exciting match. We saw seven goals in this match. But PSG should have kept the defense strong and then tried to attack. Ramos played very well. But he did not perform the duty of a defender. Most of the time he was in the midfield.

this result could be the consequence of the tiredness of the champions league game, they had a champions league game and didn't have much time to rest and this may have been the main cause of conceding 3 goals, of course we also have to take into account consideration that even in the champions league game they conceded 2 goals, which could also mean that they are returning to the old problem of weak defense that led to the dismissal of the former coach

Messi is in very good form now. Even at the age of 35, Messi has managed to maintain his fitness. And he is performing well in every match. Not only Messi, and Neymar, but Mbappe and Ramos were also very good in today's match. PSG managed to score 4 goals today due to the good performance of the team. But their defence was a bit weak. Galtier should try to strengthen his defence. Because maybe they can win the Ligue 1 title with a weak defence, but if they want to win the Champions League title, they need a strong defence. Hopefully Galtier will be able to strengthen his defence in the upcoming matches.

Messi is without any doubt amazing player and his current form and fitness level is also amazing with he is role model for new generation players and if he is able to keep this all for more time then surely he can play until next world cup which is going to hold in 2026 even not in national team but at club level and right now PSG is desperate to sign new contract, but he is currently having all his concentration on world cup and current PSG season which is also important for them as they are already in lead with most chances no team capable for challenging them for title in French League, but they have to do hard work for winning Champions League because few teams are having also better performance, and they can give them challenge which is never been easy.

In today match defense was exposed by visitors as they take two time lead but fail to maintain this for long time and lost match so here they need to do manage things which are surely important as now they are going into knock out stage of Champions League where big teams can also expose them like this, and they can face trouble.

In the end there was a 4-3 final result at the game of PSG. But we did see an entertaining match. I didn't feel that the opponent anywhere had a chance to take a point home, even when it was only 1-1 at half time. Then you see how well the team can play football. The only management is that they have now conceded 3 goals again, with a defense like PSG you should limit that to 0 or 1 goal. There is something to be gained against PSG, but then they have to become complacent. They make a show of it too often and then stand in the back playing too casually. I still have some hope that Marseille is going to play better and finish within first 3 places.

Psg managed to defeat Troyes 4-3 at home. Troyes is a team that has no problem in finding goals this year. We can say that they scored at least 1 goal in almost every match. PSG, on the other hand, struggled against Troyes. In the second half, they played more dominant and scored one goal after another and relaxed by opening the gap.
Marseille, on the other hand, continues to lose points in a season that started very well. If this continues, they will slowly start to break away from the race.

[Bobrox]

PSG resumed positive results after beating Troyes 4-3, but conceded 3 goals was a bit surprising as PSG's defense did not perform well, Carlos Soler, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe managed to score one goal each for PSG's victory and 3 points achievement make PSG keep safe as first standing position awhile with 5 points gap from Lens. Unpredictable with PSG how come conceded 3 goals actually at the early 3th minute when Troyes success scoring goal trough Balde. Seems home work for Christophe Galtier for next match how to manage with defensive area keep trying without have conceded many goals again.

I don't think they are going back to the old problem. They prioritized the attacking lineup in this match. And they also did a good job. The defending was bad, not gonna lie. But I think it is going to improve from the next match. But another thing can be that they are so confident in the attacking lineup and that's why they are not worried about having a few problems in the defense. Because they know that they have what it takes to overcome the odds with creative attacking play. But I don't think that is going to work against bigger and better opponents.

They have the best trio in the world, and their attacking capabilities are quite frightening right now due to their hard work. The frontline of their team is extremely good, but the backline is also extremely poor. There should be an immediate consideration of the situation, and necessary measures should be taken. If not, they will be easy to conquer. Against Real Madrid, it happened last season. As with last season, PSG's form is unchanged. Frontline improvement and backline deterioration. Although I don't disagree with the team's success, they will be easily beaten if they don't work on their backline.

In my opinion, we can say that Marseille is out of the race. Paris SG is a team that will dominate the league on their own. I don't think there is a team that will come close to their squad quality in the French league. Considering Messi's recent acceleration, they are the teams with the best offensive line in the world. Even Troyes scoring 3 goals is an achievement in itself.

There is no doubt Troyes attack is doing amazing job, and they are able to score 2 or 3 goals in every match which is good job but sadly here we have another unwanted fact that their defense is also one of the worst in French League which is already conceded 28 goals which are second in league with just 13 rounds ended, and we have another 25 rounds to come if they want to stay here in middle of the league table then surely they need to work on this because if they fail to have manage this then surely they can go down as right now they are fail to win any game in last five rounds which is also not good and alarming for them to have better results for better end of this season.

I was not much surprised when the trio scored, these players has learnt how to manage one another, help one another and help the team, in almost all matches if you don't see either of them scoring or assisting you will see all of them scoring and assisting. My main concern was how Troyes was able to compete with PSG in goal-scoring to the extent that the final result was 4:3. Troyes should be a major contender then

[bering]

Lorient will faced tough opponent today Nice this because Nice has several times beat them last season and although Nice position on standings league doesn't looks so good but they had successfully improved their performance so Nice will be strong opponent for Lorient today and for Lorient although they didn't lose but Lorient has losing several points from their previous matches so if they want to taking over Lens position then win result is mandatory today but the good things from Lorient is during this season they were quite strong to playing at home even so far until week 12 Lorient still unbeatable at their home ground so these records good as reference that probably Lorient have good opportunity to win the match and improved their records from Nice

Troyes was not a weak opponent. PSG's main target now is the Champions League, so they are not paying much attention to Ligue 1 matches. But you are right that PSG's poor defense is showing up quite well. PSG's attack is strong. They are scoring a lot of goals. At the same time, they are conceding results due to poor defense. They conceded 5 goals in the last two matches. Galtier should now focus more on strengthening the defense.

[DanWalker]

Messi is in very good form now. Even at the age of 35, Messi has managed to maintain his fitness. And he is performing well in every match. Not only Messi, and Neymar, but Mbappe and Ramos were also very good in today's match. PSG managed to score 4 goals today due to the good performance of the team. But their defence was a bit weak.

I really was not expecting PSG to concede so many goals in this match. I honestly expected a better performance from them when it came to defending. It doesn't matter what the scorebook says, what matters is that they were able to win.

Lionel Messi is still a very effective player today and I would argue that he is still the most talented player in the world in my opinion. There are going to be a lot of people who will not agree with me on this point, especially since Messi is quite old at the moment. However, that is okay. In order to succeed, PSG is very dependent on Lionel Messi for coordination within the attacking line-up. My expectation is that PSG will be able to do better in the Champions League this year. There is no doubt that Messi is no longer at his prime, but even those who don't have enough faith in Messi must admit that PSG wouldn't have had the level of coordination they do today without him.

Marseille team will need a win today to wash away the three consecutive losses in the last three rounds and to keep the fifth spot and maybe move up the ladder and take one of the champions league spots but it will not be easy since its an away game against a team in danger of relegation strasburg that had a bad start this season unlike the last one so marseille team need to be careful.

Marseille are now two goals ahead in a match which is now in the second half. And I think that it is a game that is not so difficult for Marseille to win because the Strasburg team did not have such a good performance this season so Marseille will not be so difficult to win that game at home to Strasburg although need to be careful because Strasburg are also trying to keep himself from being in a relegation position.

A shameful end of the match for Marseille as they were leading by two goals at the half-time but fail to maintain this lead and injury time equalizer give a bonus point to struggling Strasbourg which is still at 16th spot and most chances they could be down but here things looking difficult for Marseille as well because they were looking for first win after three losing matches streaks but fail and ends with a draw.

Suddenly their defense and attack both are giving them bad results with in last four matches they are able to score only three goals which are surely not enough if you want to stay at the top of league and defense is also conceding goals in every match which is surely not good as now they are going to stay out of top four for some more time with few challenges coming in next few days with next match is against Lyon at home, and they are going to face Tottenham in Champions League last group match in case of win they could be able to qualify for next round.

[rahmad2nd]

Unfortunately, Marseille was not able to get full points during their away game. they lost momentum after leading 0-2 in the first half, in the end, Strasbourg was able to equalize in the second half. the final result, both only won one point in this match.

facing a schedule in the champions league, making Igor Tudor not play his core starting line-up.
plus the loss of Samuel Gigot and Eric Bailly, made the performance of Igor Tudor's troops unable to play stable. the reason is, Marseille's attention is on the champions league which incidentally they will play a decisive match to qualify for the round of 16.

in the end, Marseille must sincerely share points with the home team.
should be, last night's match was a win for them and got a big motivation when they will play the match against Tottenham at the Orange Velodrome, their own home base.

Marseille continue to drop points for the 4th match in a row, making them the 5th team in the table until now. Strasbourg is way weaker than the previous season and barely getting points, their last minutes goal made Marseille in a poor position.

in the end, Marseille must sincerely share points with the home team.
should be, last night's match was a win for them and got a big motivation when they will play the match against Tottenham at the Orange Velodrome, their own home base.

Spurs are favourites in this game that will be played next Tuesday, although they have much difficulties to secure 3 points lately. Marseille isn't good and with the poor results these days, the team is psychologically less concentrated and might ruin its progress in EL soon.

[hahay]

Lorient will faced tough opponent today Nice this because Nice has several times beat them last season and although Nice position on standings league doesn't looks so good but they had successfully improved their performance so Nice will be strong opponent for Lorient today and for Lorient although they didn't lose but Lorient has losing several points from their previous matches so if they want to taking over Lens position then win result is mandatory today but the good things from Lorient is during this season they were quite strong to playing at home even so far until week 12 Lorient still unbeatable at their home ground so these records good as reference that probably Lorient have good opportunity to win the match and improved their records from Nice

Even though Lorient can win the match and make the points equal to Lens, it looks like Lorient is still losing in goal productivity so that even if Lorient wins, Lorient's position will remain like that. But indeed, at least Lorient have to win if they want to stay safe in third place, and I don't think that Nice is a difficult opponent for Lorient. Due to the fact last season Lorient and Nice could take turns to win and thus, basically with Lorient's performance this season I believe Lorient will still be able to win the match.


Apart from that I am still interested in continuing to monitor the progress of Marseille, whether they will stay on their path because they have bad habits. As I have said before, Marseille is a difficult team to be consistent with to get good performances and luck like the previous season. But on the other hand, when they have a bad season but the next season they get a very good performance and they keep repeating that season after season.

At least that was also evident in last night's match, when Marseille had taken the lead but in the end Strasbourg could equalize in the last minute of the match. At least it was a bad turn of events and an unlucky one for them, and I was lucky to only bet on the double chance option for Marseille.
