French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[slapper]

It's not something that can't happen, for example last season Inter was able to reach the final round of the Champions League. Likewise with PSG, even though PSG's chances are small compared to several teams that are much more superior, what is certain is that Luis Enrique will do his job with his squad, to do the best they can. in the second leg, PSG will visit Real Sociedad's headquarters. well, we will find out how Luis Enrique's squad does their job when playing away from home. considering that PSG is in the Group phase, they are not very good when playing their away matches. that's why the second leg match is important to review PSG's current strength. even though Luis Enrique's squad should have been able to win the match with the system they are currently implementing. apart from that, PSG started to play impressively, as befits the style that the Spanish coach wants. even though in reality, in terms of strength or depth, there is a gap when comparing City and Real Madrid. Plus, PSG can't be said to be completely solid yet.

But, as you said. in football it is unique, sometimes things happen beyond our predictions and expectations.
In this competition, PSG has almost no competitors who are able to stick closely to the position or ranking they currently occupy. Luis Enrique's troops are comfortably at the top of the Ligue 1 standings with a 10 point lead over Brest. especially with the teams below it. today, PSG will host Rennes at the Park des Princess. but it looks like this match will be exciting, considering that Rennes performed quite well with 5 wins in the matches they played in this competition. well, let's just wait for the final result of the battle between these two teams, even though PSG has a high probability of securing full points.

The UCL is always known to have a team who many don’t expect much from them but each time they play they seem to beat the expectations of the fans. These kind of teams usually doesn’t have to play much to get past each stage as they are most times usually escaping with narrow wins.We’ve had these kind of team in almost each season of the UCL and for last season one thing we can see that matches this description is Inter Milan. At the start of the campaign no one thought they’ll be able to pose a threat of any sort or even if they’ll, they won’t be able to stay in the competition for long.

 To our biggest surprise this team overcame every hurdle and got to the final of the competition although they didn’t win it as they were played by a very determined Manchester City team who had gotten to the final consecutively. Well this now brings us to this season surprise wonder and many believe PSG could be the surprise of the season. Well In as much as PSG aren’t up to standard of being called class on European competition, We can’t neglect the fact that this team is now better shaped especially since the addition of Luis Enrique to this team. Luis is one tactical genius and his tactics has now made this team look even and better shaped.

 You can see the improvements of the team when he changed the tactics and how they performed in the first leg at home to Real Sociedad. Well the 2nd leg though they’re going to that match comfortably but I’ll love to see how they perform away from home. Yes performing excellently away from home is also a boost to the team confidence and that can make us start seeing the team as maybe the surprise team of the UCL this season. This team is majorly focused on the UCL as for their league they’re having a resounding 11 point gap to 2nd place and they don’t seem to be under pressure. Well even if they don’t give a stellar performance this season, I think they’re a team to look out for next season as they’ll be having some nice additions and which I believe with Enrique in charge he’ll sure do wonders in this club.

It must be a long time since France There was a better club than PSG, but I think they have a lot of competitors in the Champions League. In Ligue 1 they are likely to take the top spot because the other clubs can't compete with them. But there are plenty of other top clubs in other leagues.

Your point is well taken. PSG dominates Ligue 1; is it untouchable? With an 11-point advantage this season, they're unlikely to be caught. Their draw with Rennes didn't affect their title run, as I witnessed. With the Champions League in mind, their method is intriguing. To stay fresh for a huge encounter against Real Sociedad, rotating players is smart. They have bigger goals than winning Ligue 1. I mean, who blames them? Top teams compete on all fronts, and PSG is playing long-term.

Had good performance in the previous few matches has made Lyon closer to being in the Europe League zone this season, current standings Lyon remaining 8 points left and I sure they have chance for locking one spot in Europe League next season. Lyon won four consecutive matches and managed to get out of the degradation zone but not remaining many points left depend on bottom standings teams have 22 points above and Lyon position still not secure yet for relegation zone.
Lyon have to face many top teams for 11 matches later in Ligue 1, such as PSG and AS Monaco I don't sure with Lyon how potential can defeat the top teams have good performance and Lyon have to face with teams fight to Champion League and Europe League spot standings.

Lyon just staying away from the relegation zone is already very good. they show tremendous performance improvements. I hope they can maintain it. because if not, it is possible that its position will decline again. That's because the current point difference with the teams below is not that far. There are still many possibilities that could happen in the standings. but Lyon reaching the European zone might be very difficult.

[LUCKMCFLY]

PSG had a really poor game and they were nearly losing as well. Mbappe and Barcola were really ineffective in the attacking line. Goncalo Ramos was the right move for the team as he scored the equalizer in the stoppage time. But is this 1-1 result a problem for PSG? Of course not. Because the gap Brest is still 9 points and I don't expect any team to get too close to PSG from now on.

Mbappe would get another Ligue 1 title before leaving but I wouldn't expect him to be champion in the Champions League this season. PSG aren't that good now. They can't eliminate Manchester City and Real Madrid with their current performance level.

PSG getting this draw is actually quite sad because they should have won but in the end it was still good thing because PSG didn't lose to Rennes.
No one could have thought that Goncalo Ramos would be able to score goal in added time at the end of the match which resulted in draw, if there were no goals then it would be clear that PSG would lose and I saw this match and I already felt that PSG would lose.
Mbappe, as the player most relied on for scoring goals, also couldn't play as well as in other matches, they got various opportunities but couldn't produce good results to score goal.
Even so, they are still at the top of the standings with complete comfort because with large margin it will be difficult to surpass them.

Yes, he will be guaranteed to get the Ligue 1 title before leaving PSG, and for the UCL he will never be able to get it with PSG.

In the future, PSG will face Monaco and this is much better team than Rennes so we could see the same result, namely draw, this is just prediction and we will not know how PSG will face Monaco later.

Well, it is a fact that PSG will be a team that has everything to win Ligue 1, and this will be a great advance for Luis Enrique who came as a huge Alternative for the team , After having 3 great Forwards and not having achieved anything Well, it is obvious that the coach was the culprit, I know it was like that, according to the Sheikh I don't know why he left a coach for so long who did nothing but just wanted to win Ligue 1, at this time it is not obvious that the coach PSG will be the leader and winner of Ligue 1 because what they have shown, so they lose, I don't think they will achieve it, and because in Ligue 1 I don't know why they play with so much fear, it's as if the whole team revolved around them to Mbappé and that he was the one who decided Everything, in this order of ideas and Luis Enrique is taking matters into his own hands and has everything Ready to get out of Mbappé is a very Complicated player , He uses it to Score goals and then Takes it out.

I think that Luis Enrique no longer likes Mbappé's way of playing, because if he is thinking about MADRID there is Nothing to do, in fact he himself has already given the verdict that the French player will leave for Madrid and this is Almost a fact, the Things Could be very Different if you look at it from another point of view, but considering what the team can do , I'm Thinking that a solution for Madrid will be to quickly look for new players, and those players will be the ones who eventually get out of this crisis. to a team that has everything to be the best  Until now they are the best in France but they can make a difference if they start studying how to make better signings, I personally have not seen very very good players, something like Messi, CR7, no, it's Because not even Mbappé and Haaland are as good as these legends.

It’s official: Mbappe’s era at PSG is over

Mbappe no long special

Mbappe was hauled off midway through the second half of Sunday’s Ligue 1 encounter Rennes as PSG trailed 1-0 – something previously unthinkable. His replacement, Goncalo Ramos, ultimately squared the match via a controversial late penalty, but it’s clear the era of Mbappe’s hold over PSG is at an end.

“It’s very simple,” Luis Enrique said when asked why he had replaced the World Cup winner when he was not the worst player on the field. “Sooner or later, we’ll have to get used to playing without Kylian.

“When I want to play him, I will, when I don’t, it’s the same.”

I wonder how Luis Enrique will do things now? Even though he is a coach who likes to work with very young players, he really needs the presence of experienced players like Mbappé. I know that they are very comfortable in their things, and this could mean a lot of money for those players. I could think that Luis Enriue's vision is good, but even more so he should not leave a team completely alone if there is no veteran player, because it is difficult, things did not go well for him in Qatar because he was thinking about that, he applied it and They said they won from Japan, of course Japan is a highly renowned team and has very good players and they have a very good football project, where they are improving more and more every day, this can bring better results, but it is because they are with the project, they still missing, that's what I heard, but in the case of PSG where they already have Ligue 1 assured, they have to think about their performance in the UCL.

The UCL is one of the best leagues in France and this can generate many things that can improve, I would be thinking that sometimes a single good player can shine here, but which one? who? where is the? This is Luys Enruqie's job and it can make a difference as soon as possible, I would be looking for players to make a new very strong team.

Paris Saint-Germain secured a late game-tying goal from Gonçalo Ramos for the 1-1 draw against Stade Rennais on Sunday at the Parc des Princes. Nonetheless, the focal point of the match unfolded when Kylian Mbappé was substituted in the 65th minute.

Manager Luis Enrique decided to make a decision that likely sent shockwaves down the squad. PSG was down 1-0 and looking for a goal to level the scoring, which paid off with Ramos generating the foul that led to a penalty kick chance and then converting the shot.

After the match, Enrique spoke postgame, and obviously, the main question was about his decision to take the Frenchman out of the game.

“It’s very easy to answer you,” Enrique said (h/t Culture PSG). “Before or after, sooner or later… We will have to get used to playing without Kylian. When? When I consider it appropriate whether he plays or not, as all coaches do with their players.”

The points earned by Lyon are generally from their hardwork, the coach and the supporters putting in great aides to developed the team to this standard. Lyon that was ranked in the relegation zone are currently in the 10th position. The losing days are over, now Lyon are focused on making exploring winning in their matches, they just have to put more efforts in upfront matches. Lyon have faced quite more challenges than drew them back when it comes to accumulating three points. The club come together to achieved important winnings, they needed this.

I've never trusted this team beyond their performance in the domestic league. They seem to struggle outside of Ligue 1. Other leagues appear to be more competitive than the French league. Even though PSG is leading the league, they often win Ligue 1 and thats common. Despite bringing in quality players, this team still struggles. No changes at all.

Monaco won in the match between Lens and Monaco.Monaco, who played a good game away from home, managed to increase their points to 41 with the win against Lens.Monaco, who closed the first half 2-1 ahead, equalized with a goal in the 77th minute.82. Although Bolagun missed a penalty in the 82nd minute, Minamino managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes.Lens remained on 36 points with this defeat.The race is still on for them.If they want to compete in the champions league next season, they must not let their rivals widen the gap in points.If they had won this match, the situation could have been different.At least they would have 39 points and would not have a 5 point difference with their rivals.

In today's match of Marseille vs Montpellier team, Marseille team won the match by scoring 4 goals. Montpellier team did well at the beginning of the game but did not play well until the end of the game. In today's match, Marseille team scored 1 goal in the first 5 minutes of the game but could not score any more goals after that. Marseille  The team is 9th in the points table.

It's understandable, even though PSG have experienced ups and downs in performance in Ligue 1, they will not lose the trophy when the season ends. In the Champions League, PSG looks like a mediocre club, in fact it is not the favorite team to win, unlike Madrid or Man City. But I think with the investment they have made so far, PSG is heading in that direction, to become one of the best teams in Europe.

Everything takes time, it is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, and it must be acknowledged that finances are an important factor in realizing this ambition. We can look at the examples of Chelsea and Man City, two clubs that also invest their money lavishly, but they also need a long time before they succeed in winning the Champions League.

From that point of view, I think sooner or later PSG will have the luck to become kings of Europe. PSG management certainly understands better how to manage a club, and this season they have good squad depth to make a difference, although I know that to get through the group stage they need luck. Who knows, PSG will be lucky this season, or could be lucky in the seasons to come.

In today's match of Marseille vs Montpellier team, Marseille team won the match by scoring 4 goals. Montpellier team did well at the beginning of the game but did not play well until the end of the game. In today's match, Marseille team scored 1 goal in the first 5 minutes of the game but could not score any more goals after that. Marseille  The team is 9th in the points table.

Montpellier took the lead at the start of the match with a goal from Mousa Al-Taamari but couldn't hold on. Mousa Al-Taamari also scored a goal for Lyon. He has been performing well in recent weeks. Also, Montpellier came very close to scoring the second goal in this game but failed. If they had scored the second goal, Marseille might not have been able to turn the game around.
Also, I liked Pierre Emerick Aubameyang's performance in this match. One of his two goals was a penalty and the other an empty net goal, but he brought his total number of goals in the league to 8. His career has been in decline in recent years. This season he is doing well for Marseille.

Monaco won in the match between Lens and Monaco.Monaco, who played a good game away from home, managed to increase their points to 41 with the win against Lens.Monaco, who closed the first half 2-1 ahead, equalized with a goal in the 77th minute.82. Although Bolagun missed a penalty in the 82nd minute, Minamino managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes.Lens remained on 36 points with this defeat.The race is still on for them.If they want to compete in the champions league next season, they must not let their rivals widen the gap in points.If they had won this match, the situation could have been different.At least they would have 39 points and would not have a 5 point difference with their rivals.

Monaco used to be one of the French teams that were giving Paris Saint Germaine a good run for their money in in the battle for who wins the French Ligue 1 in the past but since they last won the French league in the 2016/17 season, they've not been able to strongly challenge for the French league title again. This season, they started with a poor and inconsistent performances which made me rule them out from challenging league leaders for the league title but considering the performance and results of Monaco in their recent games,  I think they're likely to finish the season in the top three.

In their 23rd league game of the season away at Lens, Monaco were able to deliver a great performance to claim all three points from the game and further increase their chances of finishing the season in the top three and book a place to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

PSG had a really poor game and they were nearly losing as well. Mbappe and Barcola were really ineffective in the attacking line. Goncalo Ramos was the right move for the team as he scored the equalizer in the stoppage time. But is this 1-1 result a problem for PSG? Of course not. Because the gap Brest is still 9 points and I don't expect any team to get too close to PSG from now on.

Mbappe would get another Ligue 1 title before leaving but I wouldn't expect him to be champion in the Champions League this season. PSG aren't that good now. They can't eliminate Manchester City and Real Madrid with their current performance level.

PSG getting this draw is actually quite sad because they should have won but in the end it was still good thing because PSG didn't lose to Rennes.

Yes, he will be guaranteed to get the Ligue 1 title before leaving PSG, and for the UCL he will never be able to get it with PSG.

In the future, PSG will face Monaco and this is much better team than Rennes so we could see the same result, namely draw, this is just prediction and we will not know how PSG will face Monaco later.

As the strongest team in France, Paris Saint Germaine starts every league game as favourites to win it at the final whistle but despite the expectations of football fans in general and the club fans precisely, I don't expect Paris Saint Germaine to win  every league game they're involved in. Over the weekend, they player against Rennes in the French league and because they were playing the game at home, a lot of people staked their bets with the option that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna win the game but unfortunately for them, Rennes held them to a scored draw. Despite the result, I think Paris Saint Germaine are still gonna win the French league at the end of the current season.

[Raflesia]

All the teams playing in Ligue 1 are PSG's competitors, it's just that there are not many of their strongest competitors. This allowed PSG to dominate Ligue 1 with all its advantages, but PSG was not always able to defend its title without failing in one different season.

Clubs in Ligue 1 are indeed competitors but for now we must realize that the competition occurs only at the beginning of the season because after half of the season it becomes a dark horse not a competitor anymore .
The power differential that occurs in Ligue 1 regarding PSG and other clubs is one of the reasons that distinguishes the situation that occurs in the competition.

We always see a lot of surprise clubs in Ligue 1 such as the rise of Lens, Nice or now maybe Brest who are in a positive trend in the middle of the season this time but in the end it still won't be able to make a real competition in the race for the trophy because after all, competition for second place or position in the Europa League or Conference League may still be very possible but to make competition in the trophy position is a difficult thing.

The last time we saw a very interesting competition was in the 2020/2021 season when Lille became champions and beat PSG by just 1 point but after that in the last 3 seasons in fact PSG remained champions.
Last season there was indeed a hope where Lens always stuck tight in second place but in the end PSG could still take the trophy for the domestic competition.

Even though PSG is leading the league, they often win Ligue 1 and thats common. Despite bringing in quality players, this team still struggles. No changes at all.

Last season, PSG had a high rivalry with Lance for the first place in Ligue 1, which really doesn't happen very often in France. I agree with you that PSG don't have permanent rivals, but they are still playing well in the Champions League. Probably this season they will try to do well there again, because in Ligue 1 there is little chance that anyone can compete with them.

[hahay]

Had good performance in the previous few matches has made Lyon closer to being in the Europe League zone this season, current standings Lyon remaining 8 points left and I sure they have chance for locking one spot in Europe League next season. Lyon won four consecutive matches and managed to get out of the degradation zone but not remaining many points left depend on bottom standings teams have 22 points above and Lyon position still not secure yet for relegation zone.
Lyon have to face many top teams for 11 matches later in Ligue 1, such as PSG and AS Monaco I don't sure with Lyon how potential can defeat the top teams have good performance and Lyon have to face with teams fight to Champion League and Europe League spot standings.

Lyon just staying away from the relegation zone is already very good. they show tremendous performance improvements. I hope they can maintain it. because if not, it is possible that its position will decline again. That's because the current point difference with the teams below is not that far. There are still many possibilities that could happen in the standings. but Lyon reaching the European zone might be very difficult.

When you doubt Lyon for a more difficult match against a team in the top five, but I personally still believe Lyon will still be able to give a good fight and also get a good result. Indeed, for the match against PSG it is like a match that is indeed difficult for Lyon to make a surprise. But for the match against Monaco, I personally still quite sure that Lyon will not be defeated by Monaco.

Because after all, in the first meeting about Lyon v Monaco match this season and at that time even though Lyon played away but yes, in fact Lyon still managed to beat Monaco with a score of 0-1. What's more, at that time Lyon's position was still in the relegation zone and yes, because considering Lyon's trend to be better at this time, then I am sure that Lyon will succeed in finishing in the middle of the standings and certainly will not be relegated.

I think the last win that Olympique Lyon was able to get will now allow them to put their view into a new direction. So far they were mostly concerned with not messing the season up entirely and fighting against the relegation zone. They are still not save by any means and they still have to be careful, but if they can manage to win perhaps 12 points out of the next five games, I assume that it would be realistic for them to have an eye on a top six position. I am not sure how it works in Ligue 1 and who is still in the Coup de France, but if things go well for them can they qualify for the international UEFA games next season if they finish this season in 6th position? If one of the teams ahead of them is already qualified via some other means, then one of the qualifiers will be pushed down the table I think. But of course for now that is just a dream. First they have to do their homework, which is difficult enough.

[TelolettOm]

I've never trusted this team beyond their performance in the domestic league. They seem to struggle outside of Ligue 1. Other leagues appear to be more competitive than the French league. Even though PSG is leading the league, they often win Ligue 1 and thats common. Despite bringing in quality players, this team still struggles. No changes at all.

And indeed this is no longer attracted enough for PSG's success in the French league. Yes, because so far there has been no club that can compete very closely to win the French League. Even though it is true that there are several clubs that can draw matches or sometimes beat PSG, that doesn't mean they can take over the first position. This is what makes the league less exciting. This is somewhat different from the dominance of Bayern Munich, which this season seems to be quite overtaken by Leverkusen. Will one day be the same as what PSG experienced in the future?

So, we just have to see how they perform next season without Mbappé and also some of their previous star players. Will they be able to continue this dominance or not? If PSG can find another big player to replace Mbappé, this certainly won't change much in the French League. Even without it, actually I'm still sure that PSG is still able to handle it. But, this will definitely still be different when playing in other leagues, especially the UCL, which incidentally has been one of their goals for a long time, which has not yet been achieved.

[Silence Scream]

It's not something that can't happen, for example last season Inter was able to reach the final round of the Champions League. Likewise with PSG, even though PSG's chances are small compared to several teams that are much more superior, what is certain is that Luis Enrique will do his job with his squad, to do the best they can. in the second leg, PSG will visit Real Sociedad's headquarters. well, we will find out how Luis Enrique's squad does their job when playing away from home. considering that PSG is in the Group phase, they are not very good when playing their away matches. that's why the second leg match is important to review PSG's current strength. even though Luis Enrique's squad should have been able to win the match with the system they are currently implementing. apart from that, PSG started to play impressively, as befits the style that the Spanish coach wants. even though in reality, in terms of strength or depth, there is a gap when comparing City and Real Madrid. Plus, PSG can't be said to be completely solid yet.

But, as you said. in football it is unique, sometimes things happen beyond our predictions and expectations.
In this competition, PSG has almost no competitors who are able to stick closely to the position or ranking they currently occupy. Luis Enrique's troops are comfortably at the top of the Ligue 1 standings with a 10 point lead over Brest. especially with the teams below it. today, PSG will host Rennes at the Park des Princess. but it looks like this match will be exciting, considering that Rennes performed quite well with 5 wins in the matches they played in this competition. well, let's just wait for the final result of the battle between these two teams, even though PSG has a high probability of securing full points.

The UCL is always known to have a team who many don’t expect much from them but each time they play they seem to beat the expectations of the fans. These kind of teams usually doesn’t have to play much to get past each stage as they are most times usually escaping with narrow wins.We’ve had these kind of team in almost each season of the UCL and for last season one thing we can see that matches this description is Inter Milan. At the start of the campaign no one thought they’ll be able to pose a threat of any sort or even if they’ll, they won’t be able to stay in the competition for long.

 To our biggest surprise this team overcame every hurdle and got to the final of the competition although they didn’t win it as they were played by a very determined Manchester City team who had gotten to the final consecutively. Well this now brings us to this season surprise wonder and many believe PSG could be the surprise of the season. Well In as much as PSG aren’t up to standard of being called class on European competition, We can’t neglect the fact that this team is now better shaped especially since the addition of Luis Enrique to this team. Luis is one tactical genius and his tactics has now made this team look even and better shaped.

 You can see the improvements of the team when he changed the tactics and how they performed in the first leg at home to Real Sociedad. Well the 2nd leg though they’re going to that match comfortably but I’ll love to see how they perform away from home. Yes performing excellently away from home is also a boost to the team confidence and that can make us start seeing the team as maybe the surprise team of the UCL this season. This team is majorly focused on the UCL as for their league they’re having a resounding 11 point gap to 2nd place and they don’t seem to be under pressure. Well even if they don’t give a stellar performance this season, I think they’re a team to look out for next season as they’ll be having some nice additions and which I believe with Enrique in charge he’ll sure do wonders in this club.

It must be a long time since France There was a better club than PSG, but I think they have a lot of competitors in the Champions League. In Ligue 1 they are likely to take the top spot because the other clubs can't compete with them. But there are plenty of other top clubs in other leagues.

Your point is well taken. PSG dominates Ligue 1; is it untouchable? With an 11-point advantage this season, they're unlikely to be caught. Their draw with Rennes didn't affect their title run, as I witnessed. With the Champions League in mind, their method is intriguing. To stay fresh for a huge encounter against Real Sociedad, rotating players is smart. They have bigger goals than winning Ligue 1. I mean, who blames them? Top teams compete on all fronts, and PSG is playing long-term.

It seemed like they had no rivals in League 1 anyway. With such results, this was also registered. There is a huge difference in points between the two. No matter who is in second place, they don't seem to threaten the leader too much. It is obvious that no team other than PSG will win the championship this year. The race for second place will be more exciting because we can already announce the champion: PSG.

Monaco won in the match between Lens and Monaco.Monaco, who played a good game away from home, managed to increase their points to 41 with the win against Lens.Monaco, who closed the first half 2-1 ahead, equalized with a goal in the 77th minute.82. Although Bolagun missed a penalty in the 82nd minute, Minamino managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes.Lens remained on 36 points with this defeat.The race is still on for them.If they want to compete in the champions league next season, they must not let their rivals widen the gap in points.If they had won this match, the situation could have been different.At least they would have 39 points and would not have a 5 point difference with their rivals.

In the end, Monaco returned to winning ways after being defeated last week by Toulouse at Monaco. in the match against Lens, Monaco was able to beat the hosts with a score of 2-3. now Monaco has shifted the ranking previously occupied by Nice, and Adolf Hutter's squad is only 2 points behind Brest. meanwhile, Lens remains in 6th place in the standings. next week, Monaco will host a match against PSG. and it seems, it will not be an easy match for Adolf Hutter's team even though they are playing at their own headquarters. however, Monaco can go all out in this week's match, because PSG will be more focused on the Champions League match in the second leg at Real Sociedad headquarters. It could be that Enrique will make several rotations of his players to save the energy of his team's squad for later.

If Manaco is able to take advantage of the match against PSG and get full points, Brest's position could be disrupted if they only produce a draw, let alone lose. what is certain is that Adolf Hutter will do his best for his team's squad to bring his team to finish in 2nd place in the Lique 1 standings.
meanwhile, Nice and Brest, I think their ranking will gradually fall. moreover, Lille is currently trying to occupy the ranking occupied by Nice. well, at least the competition in Ligue 1 is quite exciting in the fight for 2nd place to get Champions League tickets.

Had good performance in the previous few matches has made Lyon closer to being in the Europe League zone this season, current standings Lyon remaining 8 points left and I sure they have chance for locking one spot in Europe League next season. Lyon won four consecutive matches and managed to get out of the degradation zone but not remaining many points left depend on bottom standings teams have 22 points above and Lyon position still not secure yet for relegation zone.
Lyon have to face many top teams for 11 matches later in Ligue 1, such as PSG and AS Monaco I don't sure with Lyon how potential can defeat the top teams have good performance and Lyon have to face with teams fight to Champion League and Europe League spot standings.

Lyon, who we talked about whether they would be relegated in the first half of the league, is doing wonders. I have never seen a team achieve such a ranking after coming from last place. It's like they were reborn and they are beating the opponent without noticing. We can say that a difficult opponent is coming for PSG and Monaco. I'm sure Lyon won't be afraid.

Indeed, Lyon has been reborn. No one expected this. It's a good comeback. It's a matter of curiosity how high they can rise. At least the fact that they escaped from the red zone was an honor for the Lyon team. They have been winning the last four matches, beating important teams such as Metz and Marseille. Lacazette's 12 goals are of great importance for Lyon.
