Two good back to back wins for Lyon surely good news in this win now just because of these win they are having 16th spot in league table with mostly they were at rock bottom and things were going from bad to worse day by day now their fans are waiting for their next match against Nantes which will play at home and if they win this surely they could be on right way, and also they can jump out of the relegation zone for the first time in this season hopefully now their internal problems ended, and they will be done better in coming matches which will bring better results and improve confidence level of players as well which are currently having huge pressure and trying to do better things for this legendary French club.

I never expected Lyon to beat Monaco at home. Monaco is a more established side with some of the best players in the Ligue One but we saw Nice defending very well and getting the winning goal in the 84th minutes. If Lyon can continue with this winning mentality for the next three games they will be heading out of the relegation zone. It will be a disaster for Lyon to go to relegation because the club has a good history both in League One and Champions League.  A game that Monaco dominated in terms of shots on target and possession, but they defended very well and took the few chances they had to get a goal.

Monaco lost an opportunity to close the gap on Nice and PSG. But such results are what makes a league interesting because matches are becoming unpredictable. Pierre Sage seems to be doing a good job since the sack of Fabio Grosso and I just hope the former academy coach will at least bring the club out of the relegation zone.

It's a surprise that I don't even believe Lyon can beat Monaco because Lyon has played quite badly this season. But that assumption was wrong because when they faced a highly ranked team Lyon were able to improve their game balance for the better and that was quite an impressive turnaround from what they had done in the previous match. Winning with a score of 1-0 is quite good considering that Monaco has performed better than them this season. Statistically the hosts played well in this match but they were unable to beat Lyon in this match. We saw that Monaco recorded 19 shots but none of them managed to become a goal. They really didn't have a way to score a goal in this match. Lyon in the last two matches was able to win and it seems like Lyon are improving their match for get 3 points to get out of the relegation zone.

We saw Monaco fail this week and also Nice fail in the match against Le Havre. So it's a good opportunity for PSG to win this week match and widen the points gap with the teams below them. Psg will face Losc in tomorrow match, of course PSG has a pretty good advantage in this match because PSG dominated the victory in their meeting with Losc. But the away match will be a little difficult for them but their strength is certainly stronger compared to losc so Luis Enrique can make the best use of this match to find 3 points.

I don't know what's happening in the French League but many French teams that were at the top of the league are performing weak and Nice is one of them while their recent loss was unbelievable for me.
Monaco is another example of a team having bad performance against weaker teams they even started falling when Monaco lost the game to Lyon while Lyon was losing any game in the French league and it was a shame for Monaco to lose the game against Lyon even after that match they lost more games and 5-2 lose to PSG was another example of bad performance from Monaco. It seems Enrique is happy to see this situation in the other teams.

That's the problem with all these average clubs they will perform very well at the beginning till a certain stage they will start flopping and giving the bigger teams edge to have control of the league and continuously dominate the league like Nice would have had the chance to close the gap with PSG but yet they lost such a crucial match to Le havre.

Luis Enrique will ensure to lift a major trophy in his first season in Parc des Princes stadium. Paris Saint Germain will be crown the champion of the Ligue One 2023/2024 campaign. There's no existence of solid doubt because the only club that follow everything up couldn't maintain their peak and now, to each the club decline so bad in performance, everything falls so quickly apart. Nice performance was excellent in the early starting of the league, now they will have to wait for good form probably by next year to resume their best form because I don't see any positive changes currently.

You may be right about Luis Enrique planning on lifting a major trophy due to the fact that Nice that is expected to follow up Paris Saint German are now flopping thereby giving PSG an easy run to achieving the league title but let's not forget that anything can happen because even PSG isn't too balanced in their form despite being in good form in the France Ligue 1 division and moreover there are still many matches to be played before the end of the season so definitely there may be some changes in the league who knows.

[Godday]

With this result, it opens up an opportunity for Lille to reduce the difference in points and get closer if they win their 17th match. however, the team they were playing against was Paris Sain-Germain. well, let's just wait.

I also think if they continue to keep winning after winning then they will have a lot of potential to get second place at the end of the season. Among the teams in the Eredivise, Ajax is indeed one of the best. For this season, no one will doubt PSV's extraordinary performance with 15 wins without ever drawing or even losing. For Feyenoord, Az Alkmaar or Twente they are also very strong this season but if Ajax finds their form again then I think Ajax is stronger than these 3 teams.

[Jossque]

Nice lost to Le Havre and suffered their 2nd defeat in the league.It was their 2nd loss in the last 3 weeks and they are now losing points in the title race.PSG should make the most of this opportunity.The hosts were 2-0 up at half time and managed to extend their lead to 3 at the start of the second half. I don't know the reason for Nice's poor form, but if Farioli doesn't fix it soon, with Nice doing so well in the league, they have a great chance of losing the title race.If PSG win their game, the points difference will increase to 7 and it has a good chance of increasing.

Nice will travel to Le Havre headquarters in Ligue 1 this week, it should be a match that is not too difficult for them to win. But Nice's problem that has not been resolved until now is when they still have a very big problem in attack. Surely Le Havre has realized the weaknesses owned by Nice and they will definitely prepare a strategy to make it more difficult for them to penetrate Le Havre's defense.
Nice still cannot get out of the problems they face and it must be difficult for them in every match. If the coach still hasn't found a solution to what they're going through, I wouldn't be surprised if they get a draw in this match.

In the end, Nice was defeated by a promoted team, even with a fairly large score, Nice was unable to beat Le Harve. even though Nice actually controlled the game, and even technically Nice was superior to the home team in this match. however, of the 13 total shots, 4 were on target, only one of which they converted into a goal, and that too was a consolation goal in the minutes before the game ended. Nice's problem is not because the coach has not found an ideal system or even an effective strategy, but because the quality of Nice's strikers cannot be relied on. Honestly, I don't mean to underestimate Nice, but the fact is that they don't have a sharp striker to be their mainstay up front. as we can see, from the 16 matches played by Nice, they were only able to score 17 goals. It could be said that Nice is only able to score 1 goal per match. although in reality, this is not the case. IMO, what differentiates the Nice squad is because their defensive line plays quite disciplined. and at the same time, Nice was able to win the match even though they only scored one goal. In this match, what the Nice coach implemented did not run smoothly. In fact, the home team played more with the old pattern, namely 4-4-2. In short, this system is more about playing defense and only relying on counter attacks. It was proven that Le Havre only had 38% ball possession, but they had 3 counter attacks, 3 shots from the counter attack and 1 chance from the counter attack which they converted into a goal. It seems that the quick surprise goal scored by the home team made Nice more open to playing to catch up. unfortunately, the home team increased their lead and in the end Nice fell with a score of 3-1. and yeah, as I often say. If in the end, Nice will experience a decline in performance in the following matches. fortunately, Monaco was defeated by Lyon. if not, Nice will have to be willing to shift their position. With this result, it opens up an opportunity for Lille to reduce the difference in points and get closer if they win their 17th match. however, the team they were playing against was Paris Sain-Germain. well, let's just wait.

It's quite surprising to see that Nice suffered a defeat when facing a promoted club and this is the second defeat that Nice has experienced. Indeed, I admit that Nice's attack line is not that sharp, even between PSG and Monaco. Nice produced the fewest goals, they only guarded the defense so they didn't concede. more goals than the opponent, Nice should improve their front line to make it sharper so they can compete with PSG for the title if their attack line is not completely reliable then I doubt Nice can beat PSG they will still be the same as other clubs who couldn't break PSG's dominance.

Yes, this defeat does not change Nice's position in the standings, but they are widening the gap with PSG. If PSG is able to beat LOSC in the 16th match tomorrow, PSG will collect 39 points and this makes PSG sit comfortably at the top of the standings with quite a large difference from Nice. With this, PSG is not under as much pressure from Nice, the difference is 7 points, of course Nice will find it increasingly difficult to catch PSG if PSG continues to win in a row like recently.

[Jossque]

Lens struggled to get a win in the first 5 weeks, but they managed to pick themselves up and they haven't lost in the league for 11 weeks, a statistic that reminds me of last season again.Lens will continue on their way in the Europa League even if they are eliminated from the Champions League group.The opponents they will face here are easier and more competitive teams for them, so they can focus a little more on the league. Lens, who are currently 5th in the league, will at least want to finish in the top 3 of the league.The next week they will go to Nice, one of the form teams of the league, and this will be a very important match for them.The next week they will play PSG, so the better these 2 weeks go for them, the better their chances of finishing the league in a better place.

Marseille vs Clermont

Marseille performance under Gattuso finally showing good progress because from the last 3 matches of Ligue 1 this team was unbeatable with able to win all of those matches and this makes Marseille position was gradually better because on league standings Marseille can reach to 7th place and today they have ambition want to resumes their winning streak from Clermont and if Marseille can able to managed their performance i think beating Clermont is not hard task for Marseille

Clermont was performing poorly this season and they even relegation candidate because Clermont position currently at 18th place and this should be easy match for Marseille and about team condition under Gattuso finally Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can found his shape because recently he can scores goals again and in the last 4 matches with Marseille he can scores 4 goals and for this match too if he played i think possibly Aubameyang can scored and bringing Marseille to gets the winning result and Marseille has odds @1.51 this is not high odds but i think it's safe bet

Well to be honest it's really suprising but in football, a loss is bound to happen, but I believe it's not yet over for Nice and they'll bounce back stronger, however this lose could really affect the confidence level of their players but they need to put themselves together and work hard in their next fixtures so as not to drop more points, Nice are a strong team the season they've had good times earlier on a have one of the best defense line but that is not enough if they want to win the Ligue one trophy.

 They will need to strengthen their attack especially the front line, cause there's  saying that the best form of defense is attack and the more goals a team scores, the more pressure you mount on the opponents and when a team fails to score and concedes, they put more pressure on themselves and I believe that's what happened to Nice against Le Havre.

[rendravolt]

What a truly extraordinary result from Lens, they were able to beat Reims which is known for its strong defense and this time Reims had to concede 2 goals. This is a very important victory considering that Lens are starting to regain hope this season of competing for the top 4 and they must be consistent if they want to immediately get that place. This result also made Lens achieve 4 wins in the last 5 matches and they will continue to do this.

Meanwhile, Reims is still in a slump with only one win in the last 5 matches and this means they are still stuck in 8th position in the standings. However, what was initially very doubtful is that Lens are now able to prove to everyone that they are still a contender for a team at the top and let's see if they continue to be consistent in winning in their next match.

[Belarge]

I am not surprised by this result, Nice is an inconsistent team and in terms of performance every week they are not able to maintain the level of play of their own team. It was not Le Havre who were able to recover in this match and managed to win the match but there was indeed a significant decline in quality. from the Nice team this week..
Indeed, if we look at it as a whole, Nice has quite a lot to improve so that they can maintain the consistency of their team's play.

Keeping close range on Nice and PSG this current season, one of these teams will eventually be crowned Champs of Ligue One because they did better than any othe club. Consistent performance will heightened the performance of a competitive club in Ligue One. PSG improves and they're sitting first spot on the table while Nice did better but couldn't reduce the level of flopping and decline in performance this season. Nice did better in the early starts but couldn't maintain the high level performance against their oppositions.

I personally was really surprised and disappointed at the results of this game between Nice and Le Havre. Nice this season has been in a very good and somehow excellent form such that they topped the league table at a time and I least expected they will loose to Le Havrein this match, not only did they lose but with a good margin which showed a clear defeat.

Le Havre did performed well even with the red card they had they were able to win and I must say their home advantage was such they they did used well enough and it did turned out I'm their favour so I would say it was a deserving win for Le Havre, if Nice continues I'm this form they will further drop points and will not make it any longer to the top four, they have dropped some point already by this match and I think from this match it showed that they have some defensive challenge which they have to fix if they must be able to reduce further conceding of goals in their subsequent fixtures in the Ligue 1 games this season.

Indeed, Nice performance has been really good this season, so they defeat in yesterday match was surely disappointed. Now Nice already got two defeats in their away matches, because previously they also lost against Nantez. Personally, I'm also worried that Nice won't be able to stay in the top four if they lose again. Especially, in the next match Nice will face against Lens, and Lens team has returned to consistency by having a good trend in their last 11 matches which are never lost in Ligue 1.

That does not disappoint me at all,they were pathetic in the true meaning of the word against Nantes when they played away and as such I am not surprised at all.Nice has showed throughout the years that it is not the team who can keep up with Paris or any other leaders,kinda like Lille who is also a very volatile team but at least sometimes they come very near to winning the league and show consistency something Nice truly lacks.

If Paris wins again today which they will do so most likely it means that they will extend the gap further,not that I was waiting some miracle from Nice to comeback and fight for the title but it means that the Ligue 1 will become again boring like always with Paris flying away and no team being able to catch them.

Lens is playing pretty well right now. And at this moment I do not think they have to worry about too much.  As you said they have been winning pretty consistently throughout the last few matches and haven't lost since what seems to be an eternity. So they are definitely doing well. Probably better than expected. I don't know how worried they are about the Europa League. But I believe they should give more importance to Ligue 1. Because I think it is still going to be hard for them to get into the top 3 positions because the teams above are performing well and have good point advantage. And Lens has 1 match in hand.

Yes, it is true that Lens have now had quite a significant improvement in their performance after experiencing a downturn at the start of the season and now their performance is slowly recovering.
This week's win at home was not surprising and they have been favorites from the start and in the last few games I have watched the games Lens have played and I think they are back to where they were last season.

[Leviathan.007]

PSG is obviously in he better situation than Nice and they have a much higher chance of winning the French league title at the end of the season just like they won last season because compared to Nice, PSG has many more and better players and coaches in this team and you can definitely get a better result in the games you are going to have if you invest more for the team and that's what they have done for PSG during this season.
Also after Nice lost the last match against Le Havre, now there is more gap between these two teams, Nice got 32 points in second place of the table while PSG got 36 points in first place.

So far I have not found a club that can really break PSG's dominance in Ligue 1, Nice is not a big threat to PSG because of course I am sure that this season PSG will still win the title for the umpteenth time in Ligue 1, although they also have to maintain their focus on Of course, the UCL is not a big obstacle for them to remain consistent in Ligue 1 this season to stay at the top of the standings.

Until now, no one seems to be truly serious and consistent in competing with PSG at the top of the standings, unlike in other leagues where there is tight competition at the top of the standings but not in Ligue 1, PSG seems to be truly consistent and has always dominated this season. on a winning streak in the last five matches, especially in tomorrow's match they will get full points again against LOSC even though they are playing as guests.

They can show a pretty good resurgence after they had a very difficult situation at the beginning of the season. Now they can slowly improve their rankings and are in 6th place. It seems like they found a weak point where they were the source of problems at the start of this season. They can improve in terms of goal productivity although not really very good, but it is enough to be able to get positive results from the matches they play. Although their defense is not really solid, there is an improvement and that is good as a progress. The truth is that a club doesn't have to be very good right away, because it's very difficult. Lens can show that slowly they can also do better in every match, and their progress is visible from match to match.

Marseille vs Clermont

Marseille performance under Gattuso finally showing good progress because from the last 3 matches of Ligue 1 this team was unbeatable with able to win all of those matches and this makes Marseille position was gradually better because on league standings Marseille can reach to 7th place and today they have ambition want to resumes their winning streak from Clermont and if Marseille can able to managed their performance i think beating Clermont is not hard task for Marseille

Clermont was performing poorly this season and they even relegation candidate because Clermont position currently at 18th place and this should be easy match for Marseille and about team condition under Gattuso finally Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can found his shape because recently he can scores goals again and in the last 4 matches with Marseille he can scores 4 goals and for this match too if he played i think possibly Aubameyang can scored and bringing Marseille to gets the winning result and Marseille has odds @1.51 this is not high odds but i think it's safe bet

My prediction is that the best result that Clermont can achieve is a draw to get 1 point so that they can continue to maintain a small point difference with the teams above them so that the opportunity to get out of the relegation zone remains open for Clermont.
However, seeing how Marseille is in an upward trend, it will be quite difficult for Clermont to get even just one point, but Marseille still has to be alert because at least two strong teams, PSG and Lillie, they managed to force played a goalless to get one point
Applying a more defensive game will be possible for the visiting team to reduce any attacks from the home team, and if Marseille can win this match, their position in the standings will rise again by one place to sixth position, shifting Lens' position and will be closer to the top five if they can continue to maintain their performance. who has managed to get up.
