[Slow death]

Troyes 0- 2 Olympique Marseille

In this game I thought that Troyes would be able to score a goal, given their good performance in their last game, so I was already considering the possibility of them scoring a goal in that game, which is why I decided to bet on the BTTS, but the Olympique Marseille team gave me surprised by playing well in defense to the point that they didn't concede any goals in that game, it was something very bad to me that I lost money in that game



RC Strasbourg Alsace 2 - 2 RC Lens

I confess that this is a result that left me very surprised, I expected that Lens would be able to win this game without having too many difficulties, but RC Strasbourg, who came into this game with very bad results, which was even a sequence of defeats, managed to surprise me by managed to score 2 goals and draw in this game, I lost my money in this game too. it was really bad luck that I had this round



FC Lorient 2 - 2 AS Monaco FC

this is another game in which I lost my bet, monaco, which is an inconsistent team, had a good chance of winning in this game, they were even losing and they were only lucky that at 90 + 3 minutes they scored a goal, otherwise monaco would have lost in this game, honestly bad luck chased me this round

Marseille are slowly closing the gap with lens after their win yesterday against troyes and they benefited from lens draw against strasbourg, now with only two points away they pose a huge threat, they are playing very well since the break is over but catching up to lens will also be difficult because they aren't losing much points either.

I think not only you but many other gamblers also lost money on Strasbourg vs Lens. This was certainly surprising because Lens was clearly the most favored team in the match. But I think your loss for this match is nothing new in football match even though we firmly believe that the favorite team will win. It's hard to say no to Lens in that game even if the odds are low compared to a draw. But I'm sure Lens will be better in the upcoming matches.

[lizarder]

Angers is a team that doesn't fight back, but they only survive not to concede many goals by Messi cs. Messi scored 1 goal and contributed to Ekitiki's goal in the 5th minute of the match. Messi was brilliant for his first game after the World Cup, he was very entertaining and his form is really good.

Obviously not a balanced game, Angers are bottom and very close to relegation at the moment, because they have only collected eight points from the 18 matches they have played, Angers' win ratio has been very bad throughout the season and does not place them in Ligue 1 as one of the clubs who has the quality to compete even with other lower end clubs. While PSG are top of the table and have a lot of great players there, six shots on target and 64 per cent possession, it was an easy game for PSG in the second half of the season.

Kylian Mbappé wasn't in the line-up for that game and wasn't even in the substitutes made by Christophe Galtier and not on the injured list. Anyone know, where the Wonder Boy was when the game started???

Lens also couldn't do much in his last match against team that won only 1 match out of 18 matches. Strasbourg managed to hold Lens to a 2-2 draw at that time and thus PSG managed to widen the point gap to the current 6 from Lens. I don't think there's really been an incredible amount of pressure on PSG after their first defeat of the season against Lens, which was obvious against Angers.

The defeat against Lens did not affect PSG, in fact their performance improved in the next two matches, because they won 3-1 against Chateauroux and most recently Angers 2-0. The six-point gap is getting closer to the Ligue 1 champion for PSG this season, the only chance to catch PSG points is only Lens, but in my opinion it is quite difficult to do and almost impossible.

Lens are only 2 points above Marseille, and any mistake from Lens would give Marseille the opportunity to climb to second and pull Lens down to third, i was disappointed that Lens drew with Strasbourg, i wanted them to continue winning so they can stay very close with psg at the top of the table, but now they have fallen 6 points behind psg and it is very difficult for them to get close to psg or even climb above them, sadly it is looking like we are going to have the same winner for the Ligue 1 this season, and that's psg.

While PSG are top of the table and have a lot of great players there, six shots on target and 64 per cent possession, it was an easy game for PSG in the second half of the season.

I watched the match from start to finish, so I know exactly how PSG are doing during the match. I just don't believe that PSG was only able to score 2 goals, while there were many good opportunities that they got alternately. If there's a player who hasn't been good throughout the match, then I think it's Neymar.

So it's true, Angers is not a team that worth it PSG's quality in that match.

Kylian Mbappé wasn't in the line-up for that game and wasn't even in the substitutes made by Christophe Galtier and not on the injured list. Anyone know, where the Wonder Boy was when the game started???

He got time off from his coach after the World Cup, Hakimi got it too. 

[KTChampions]

In my opinion, this is a dangerous bet. Angers is not in any way an irritant for PSG or a dangerous opponent, so PSG can win in the "normal" order without much straining with a score of 2-0 or 3-0. As for Angers, they will not go forward, but will only try to minimize the number of goals conceded in this game, so the match may turn out to be closed. So I wouldn't expect a lot of goals in this game.

that's a very risky bet for sure. The performance from PSG was inconsistent at this moment. People can't sure that if PSG will be making 4 goals. I think that he shall learn from what happened with PSG in the past. PSG was always winning with small score. it was rarely making huge scores against small team. He shall remember when PSG was against strasbourg. PSG was only able making 2 goals against it. Betting more than 3.5 goals didn't make sense. I expect PSG will win with small scores against angers.

As I said, PSG won 2-0 without much effort. By the way, even after watching the video replays and the lines that VAR drew, I have doubts that Messi's goal was scored according to the rules - is there an obvious offside there? Another strange refereeing decision in the era of VAR - sometimes they determine millimeters of offside sometimes they don't see the obvious.

[CLS63]

Lorient vs Monaco was quite competitive just as I expected. I was seeing Monaco one step ahead anyway to get a win here.

Actually they could have made it but they wasted many opportunities. There were a couple of shots coming back from the goal post for example. I must admit that Lorient were really impressive in this match. They made a comeback after being 1-0 behind and got 2-1 ahead. They were nearly winning if it weren't for the goal came in the stoppage time. Ben Yedder really saved the team but I don't think they are satisfied with this score at all. Because the gap with the Champions League are has got bigger now.

I got a loss too in this match. because indeed I am quite sure about Lens but unexpectedly for Strasbourg they played very well in this match.
Their conditions were very different, especially seeing how quickly in the first half they responded to my hunch that I was worried enough there and it was proven. My bet lost though for a bet both teams could score I did get a little back on my losing bet to see who won.

They have the required players in the team and big names present in the team, Christophe Galtier doing a great job in paris. PSG unstoppable with good winning points in the game, so fantastic to watch Leo Messi spectacular performance in the game after the world cup. The world cup winner and also a decorated player returned to actions with outstanding performance. PSG won 2 nil, although most fans concluded Leo Messi goal as offside but with proper confirmation from VAR, the referee awarded the goal. The Parisians won the game with ease and topping first on the ligue 1.

This one point is enough for them instead of getting no points at all.
But on the other hand I actually didn't know that this match would end in a draw because after the score was 2-1 until 90 minutes I didn't watch anymore and felt that this was already the end for Monaco but unexpectedly at 90+3 they scored a goal that I missed.
With this result it doesn't change anything for their current condition but it's still a bit and they are still in a pretty good standing even though the conditions are really tight here.

[emrecemsan]

Marseille are like they are back in their shape at the beginning of the season now. They are on a five-win streak currently and it just feels like this streak will go on for longer. Their performance has been quite impressive recently that they are worth betting on. I watched their Troyes match and it was such a one-sided match. They could have destroyed Troyes by even a bigger score if they used most of their goal chances in an effective way. These are very good signals and they are back in the competition again.

By saying competition I don't mean the league championship of course. Because PSG would do their thing as usual and finish the season earlier with another title. Marseille's realistic target is to finish in second position.

After the break things looking tough for the Lens even they won against PSG at home, but they lost four points in two matches which are vital for them and Marseille now in next few weeks will we have Marseille at second spot and Lens could be slip because they are looking under pressure which is not good for them after having second spot for long time Monaco is also improving their performance which is giving impression they could be at third and Lens have to stay at fourth.

Now in coming week, we have two tough matches first Rennes will host PSG and then Marseille will host Lorient all other teams are going to play against weaker sides which is surely having not any impact on league table but these two matches surely important because these can change the table.

After beating PSG at home mostly peoples were feeling now Lens is at his best, and they can defeat Strasbourg easily because they are in relegation zone and their performance is also not good with only one win and nine draws, but things turn not in favour of them, and we have four goals in first half, but after this Strasbourg play balance game and mostly match in second half were played in middle which not allowed Lens to have any good winning chance which was surely frustrating because they need to win this match and widen their gape against Marseille but now it's just two points and PSG is surely going to have good lead at the top because they are improved after joining of Messi and Neymar and now have next match against Rennes which is also not easy.

It's good enough now for Marseille especially with this they are now starting to get back to good form and haven't lost again during their last few matches in Ligue1.
Marseille's dominance was visible from the start of the kick off and they really did a good job in this match because of 2 goals in the first half and early in the second half and with their possession it was very difficult for Troyes to change this result.

Having won the FIFA World Cup, Leo Messi scores his first goal for PSG since returning to the club. A couple of outstanding saves by the Angers goalkeeper kept the score down for PSG, who won 2-0. So far this week, we have three wins and a draw. PSG has widened their distance back from Lens after losing 3-1 to Lens, a difference of 6 points they should maintain.

Angers is a team that doesn't fight back, but they only survive not to concede many goals by Messi cs. Messi scored 1 goal and contributed to Ekitiki's goal in the 5th minute of the match. Messi was brilliant for his first game after the World Cup, he was very entertaining and his form is really good.

I don't think there's really been an incredible amount of pressure on PSG after their first defeat of the season against Lens, which was obvious against Angers.

There were good expectations from PSG and their attack for having the good number of goals but right now they are not playing with their full approach because they are trying to have balance in their game and players also need to be fit for the next games which are going to be tough Angers is having no win from their last 10 games, and they are having the worst defense but still we have only two goals from them PSG with Messi is also now in action after having tag of GOAT with win of the world cup 2022 in Qatar.

Lens held against Strasbourg which is currently above the Angers and having first point after break but with the current form and quality of Strasbourg most chances they could be relegated because they have no enough quality and performance in first half of the season.

[barbara44]

I even thought they would score more than 2 goals, but they were only able to score 2 goals through Hugo Ekitike and Lionel Messi. This was a victory which was not surprising at all as they were indeed big favorites in this clash. Lionel Messi is playing well and continues to show consistency with Paris Saint Germain. Even though at the beginning of his arrival he couldn't adapt quickly, but slowly he found his best game again.

mbappe did not participate in this match, maybe if he does we will see PSG score more than 2 goals there. Another very interesting match was Nice vs Montpellier, in that match NICE managed to win with a score of 6-1, there were 2 NICE players who scored 2 goals each, it was Pepe and Barkley. slowly but surely, NICE is starting to rise again.

Mbappe is a player that can change so much, he is the type of player that could end up winning it at all wherever he is and that's an important thing. The best thing about the situation we are in right now is the fact that Mbappe is still there at PSG for a long time and even if he misses a few games that doesn't mean that they are going to be bad on the long term, they are going to be great as long as he is there. They could sell Neymar or Messi and would still be great because of two things.

First of all they have Mbappe, that is good enough, secondly they have money which means they can replace anyone else by spending a lot of money to get a close level new player.

Marseille didn't fail in their last matches which is a good thing. Their last match was vs Troyes which isn't that top but their next game will be more challenging vs Lorient
This round was bad for Lille, Lyon, Rennes and Lens. Monaco and Lorient got a draw which is a fair enough result for both but not good in terms of table points gap.
Overall only PSG and Marseille got 3 points between the top 8 teams

[Velvet78]

I think Marseille are more likely than Lens to finish the season at the second position in the standings. The point gap is quite close now and I won't be surprised if Marseille get ahead of them in the near future. Marseille have a much better squad before anything else. They are able to show this by their performance these days as well. They are still on a nice winning streak.

Lens still beat them by 1-0 away before though but I think the scenario could be different when they play against each other again. Marseille have a really good team effort now and the Troyes game was one of the good examples for it.

Lens held against Strasbourg which is currently above the Angers and having first point after break but with the current form and quality of Strasbourg most chances they could be relegated because they have no enough quality and performance in first half of the season.

PSG just played like they are all old guys and dont want to waste their strength. They won 2-0 easily but if they went with full power and attacked the entire game it could have been 7-0 or more. If Angers scored from one of those good chances i think that PSG wouldnt win that game easily. But still another win for PSG and i think they just want to focus on the champions league.
