Strasbourg  1-2  Lyon

very few chances existed in the first half from both teams. Lyon went 2-1 up which they did pretty well. made 3 shots on target and 2 became goals. Strasbourg seemed a little surprised by Lyon's first goal. and that left them a bit unfocused and ended up conceding another goal 3 minutes later.
in the second half, if you do not want to lose, Strasbourg must improve their game. both played discipline, but Strasbourg had to play more aggressively if they were to win.

There is no doubt that Lyon's defense is strong. Moreover, this season Lyon team is playing in defensive strategy. At the end of the first half, the team was leading 2-1. I guess they won't make much of an attacking effort in the second half. The team will aim to tighten up their defense in the second half. and not conceding any goals. And in the second half, we will probably see all 10 Lyon players in defender roles. This match is very important for Strasbourg as they want to stay a safe distance away from the relegation zone. If they don't win today's match, Strasbourg is likely to go to the relegation zone. And so Strasbourg will continue to fight until the end of the match to earn points from this match.

Lyon getting a win in this game was a good result for them but they are still in 7th position no hope for Euro football yet, but if they can continue like this they will make it to Euro football next season, it was not an easy game for Lyon but they where the favorite to win this game, I picked them to win the game and they did, there only hope it to qualify for Euro football next season, because the league title is for Paris Saint German already who are topping the league with a 8 points difference from second place Marseille.

A player like Messi got enough respect in any team he played and he usually gets enough support from both players and the fans after Messi left Barcelona for PSG he couldn't get enough respect and he can't have enough focus on the game, that's why I think he is going to leave PSG to another team at the end of this season.

Messi to Barcelona could be possible, it is going to be tough and I think maybe not even smart, but it would be possible. How? They need to sell some players and they need to not resign some players as well. This gives them two things, first of all it gives them money to use for getting Messi and paying his salary when they sell some players, and when they do not resign some of them that opens up cap space as well. Is it doable? 100%. Is it smart to do? I am not entirely sure about that.

Yes he is Messi and he is the legend of Barcelona, probably the best player that ever played, but would you really have 4-5 good players gone, just for Messi? If he was 30 years old I would understand, but he is getting older as well, he won't be able to get them wins like that anymore.

I personally prefer to see the regeneration they do, we all know that until now Paris Saint Germain's priority has been to bring star names to be in the squad, but the results they got were the same as the previous season. I know they have good financial ability to be able to bring in star players, but in my opinion it's useless because until now they haven't been able to talk more about the Champions League. They haven't tried to develop potential young seeds, and they can do it now. One more thing, they have to bring in a coach who has a myriad of strategies to demonstrate.

When it comes to a manager choice for PSG I think the best option is Zinedine Zidane and I bet most people are thinking in the same way with me. There would be a really great combination between him and PSG in my opinion. Because he is a French legend and he can seriously evaluate the possibility of signing for the biggest team of his nationality to help their unachieved goals to come true.

But there are two speculations about this recently:

- Zidane might return to Real Madrid after a great journey he had before to have a good run once again.
- He might prefer PSG over them to make himself a bigger challenge to help PSG win the Champions League title finally.

Talking about Zidane's problem, I think Madrid's chances are much bigger in this regard, but indeed since Zidane said about the desire to train again, it is clear that several big clubs have taken advantage of this.
At the moment what I know is that not only PSG and Madrid but there is also the name Juventus as well which is like a priority even to say before.

Strasbourg  1-2  Lyon

Quite an interesting match especially with the hard work done by Strasbourg I quite appreciate that.
They really tried hard in this game even though the result was predicted from the start but the hard work was really good.
They even took the lead in the early minutes but Lyon are still the favorites in this game and they got 3 points.

Today's match of Lyon team was very good. The opposition looked to dominate the match at full time, but the Lyons continued to attack brilliantly and eventually managed to score two goals. The match has to be complimented by the attacking side of the Lyons team, whose superb skills ensured the match victory.

Last season RC Strasbourg beat Lyon with the same goal margin but this current game was different. Lyon was just fortunate to get that win because Strasbourg had better ball control and more goal attempts but it was not their lucky day. Strasbourg has not yet escaped relegation which was why this game was so important to them. But they have to take other matches more seriously because relegation will be a big blow to the club. They will lose sponsorship deals, players, and even fans. Last season under coach Peter Sylvester Bosz, Lyon ended the season in the eighth position, maybe Laurent Blanc could lead them to go the fifth position which gives them a ticket to Europa Conference League qualifiers.

The players of both the teams tried hard to win. Lyon played defensively after leading 2-1. And this is the match strategy we have seen from Lyon for a long time. When taking the lead in a match, Lyon players play defensively and don't try to attack too much. Lyon played the same strategy against Strasbourg in this match as well. After leading 2-1 in the first half, I don't see any tendency for Lyon players to attack and score goals in the second half. However, Lyon managed to secure three points. However, if they want to maintain consistency in the next season, they need to make their attack stronger.

Lyon got a valuable victory. Actually, Strasbourg also performed well, it's just that they were not lucky enough to be able to score a goal back after Lyon turned the position around in the first half. Entering the second half, both teams appeared more careful and they did not try to carry out onslaught of attacks. Luckily the red card that the Lyon player got came just as the game was about to end, if only there was enough time I think things would change.

I know Strasbourg is not a strong team and they couldn't make any problem for Lyon in this match and this game was easy for Lyon, but still, Lyon had a perfect performance against this team and they had many goal opportunities while Lyon scored the first goal and it was not accepted by the var, otherwise, they could even get a better result.

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.

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.

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.

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

[Velvet78]

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.

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.

[Ratash]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
