The match between Brest VS Nantes in the French Cup ended with a score of 2-1, a victory for Brest.

In this match Brest was able to lead first with a score of 2-0 over Nantes, and was able to maintain it until the first half ended. While in the second half Brest was unable to do more, and instead of increasing the advantage, Brest lost its consistency in the 83rd minute, where through a goal scored by H.Guirasay, Nantes managed to reduce the deficit. but fortunately Brest's defense was solid enough so that out of the many attacks and shots launched by Nantes only one shot was right on target. so Brest emerged as the winner in this match.

Nantes actually did not play badly in this match, because they also put up a fairly good fight, but their problem lies in the front line which had a hard time breaking down the defense built by Brest. They could only score 1 goal in return and that was not enough to make them win and advance to the next round. Brest was indeed quite comfortable when they played in the second half because they held the 2 goal advantage they created in the first half. They also changed their playing style a little compared to the first half.

Paris Saint-Germain football team played very excellent against Saint-Étienne football team. Saint-Étienne football team could not do more goals in this match and that was the reason that team lost the match. Dembélé was a match winner of this match because he did 2 goals in this match which was excellent performance for the team and he did first goal at 13 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and after I expected that any other player will do next goal of the match but second goal did by also same person and that was Dembélé and he did this goal at 23 minutes of the match and he did this goal at penalty. Davitashvili did last goal of the match and did goal in the second half of the match and he did goal at 64 minutes of the match.

The expectations from this game weren't for PSG to loose I suppose and so seeing them win was actually more like them meeting with expectations and so it's a good one and I think they building their edge in the French this way is just the best thing they can do for themselves.  St entienne is just an average team who gets lucky some days over their bigger opponents but not just Against PSG on this day .

Yes PSG can meet everyone's expectations and indeed most people bet on PSG as favorites to win and if they lose it will disappoint many people, PSG is the best club in League 1 so the victory is not surprising, Saint-Etienne's performance is very bad in League 1 so he will not be able to surpass PSG's strength. Dembele is undoubtedly PSG's mainstay in every match he scored 2 goals in the match and now has almost the same number of goals as Jonathan David.

Another difficult victory was achieved by PSG against St. Etienne, this team is in the relegation zone and PSG is above the standings but PSG could only win narrowly with a score of 2-1 and in my opinion in this match it is not right to celebrate this fading victory because PSG should have won with a big score and uniquely PSG conceded one goal and in my opinion apart from PSG's less than good attack line their defense line is also not strong enough and in my opinion Enrique should rotate some more players to increase their strength.

Because if PSG hopes for Dembele it will be very difficult even though in their last five matches Dembele has been able to score more than 5 goals but we also know that Dembele's leg strength is often injured or injured and this is very worrying for PSG if he does not play especially with the departure of center forward Kolo Muani I think PSG should target another center forward like Jonathan David because this player is quite talented and in my opinion it would be good for PSG to buy this player.

Yesterday, in the last 32 rounds of the French Cup, Olympique Lyon was eliminated on penalties, which was very tragic. Apart from that, Monaco was eliminated by Reims and could not advance to the next round, but what drew more attention was Lyon's elimination on penalties against Bourgion-Jallieu in the match that ended 2-2 in regular time. This was a really interesting elimination match. Lyon's opponent is playing in CFA 2. They are in second place in Group I. It was a shameful night for Lyon.

Montpellier vs. Monaco will be interesting because montpellier has 3 losses and 2 draws in its last 5 games, both of which were against nice and Lille, which are respectively in the points table below Monaco. another interesting point is that Monaco also has 2 draws in its last 5 games, which were against teams at the bottom of the table, namely nantes and reims.

considering the strange statistics of these two teams that I mentioned, this game is likely to end in a draw, but it should be noted that Monaco is currently in third place and montpellier is the last team in the table and this difference creates the possibility of monaco winning.

Both teams have an equal number of 3 injuries, which indicates that both teams will play this game with a more complete and stronger lineup.

Monaco needs to win this game to escape the chase of Nice and Lille, who are competing on the same day.

Yesterday we have round of 32 games in Coupe de France in this round all big clubs of French Ligue 1 were involved few games which were looking easy on papers create surprises for fans as we have too many big teams face defeats and now out of the next round which is giving PSG good chance for another treble in this season.

Reims vs Monaco on score of 1–1 but on penalties Monaco lost this game after this Marseille lost their game on penalties against Lille at home Bourgoin Jallieu beats Lyon on penalties as both ended with the score of 2–2 in regular time Brest were able to have won in regular time against Nantes at home with the score of 2–1.

In terms of the players owned by PSG, it is much easier to beat Esplay because they have no chance to beat PSG's strength. In fact, PSG should have scored more than four goals if their players could complete some of the opportunities they got. Surprisingly, Esplay was able to score early in this match because PSG was too busy attacking and after that PSG dominated the match again so they could win the match.

This is not a balanced opponent because Esplay did not put any real pressure on the match and it was even boring to watch the match go on because PSG dominated in everything so the game was more dominantly controlled by PSG in an easy way.

[Leviathan.007]

In my opinion : the competition between Nice and Lille will probably end in a draw.

Lille has done well defensively this season and has only lost 2 games, making them the second team with the fewest losses (psg is the first).
on the other side, Nice has a relatively good attack, which is why I predict a draw.

of course, if we look at the statistics of the past 10 games between these two teams, lille has been better,



but in the statistics of 5 games, the two teams have become very close and in a way we can say (maybe) that Lille has become somewhat weaker and nice is stronger.



If we want to predict with a little more risk, we can think about Nice winning.

the Ligue 1 teams currently playing in the Champions League are four teams and not just two but indeed, the Ligue 1 teams are still not good enough to be able to compete in the upper zone of the standings. In fact, PSG which is the team that dominates Ligue 1 from season to season,currently only PSG has a bad position in the Champions League standings. While for the other teams at least they are still in a good position especially for Brest and Lille and thus,I personally might still assume the results are still normal, only PSG which is in a bad position compared to the other three teams is a strange result, how can a  team that has great dominance in Ligue 1 be  a weak team in the Champions League.

Usually we have not good results from French Ligue 1 teams in Champions League but due to new format now things take good changes and Brest and Lille are having good results while Monaco is also able to have spot into next round be most prominent and experienced team PSG is struggling badly due to their worst performance.

Next game are going to be vital for the PSG, Monaco and Lille as two are playing at home against English clubs and Lille going to Liverpool which could be tricky for them with the current performance level of home team which is undefeated in Champions League and at the top in Premier League and Champions League. French League needs to be work on few things which can give them better results in long run otherwise things could be not on good level in future because their quality level is on decline due to lack of funds for quality players.

Dembele is undoubtedly PSG's mainstay in every match he scored 2 goals in the match and now has almost the same number of goals as Jonathan David.

Leading first in the first half over a promoted team at home is a very common thing for PSG even though in that match only Dembele scored two goals and that was enough to lead PSG to victory. So that is a very common thing and there is no word extraordinary because it is very unlikely that a promoted team like Saint-Etienne can beat the ruling team in Ligue 1, namely PSG. As for this weekend's match I think it will be much more interesting because PSG will play at Lens' home even though I also have a little doubt that Lens can beat PSG in that match.

Reims vs Monaco on score of 1–1 but on penalties Monaco lost this game after this Marseille lost their game on penalties against Lille at home Bourgoin Jallieu beats Lyon on penalties as both ended with the score of 2–2 in regular time Brest were able to have won in regular time against Nantes at home with the score of 2–1.

There are so many surprising match results, even though they still have a chance of being eliminated, PSG is considered to have the biggest chance of winning the title in this competition. AS Monaco, Marseille, Lyon are out, there's only 1 team left that is worth considering as a challenger, they are Nice. If Nice will also leave this competition in the next match, there is no doubt 100% of this competition trophy will belong to PSG.

Even against a team that is currently in the runner-up or third position, I will never worry about the result. Because PSG is a giant in league 1 that will never be defeated except for a draw which is the worst result experienced by PSG.
So there is no greatness in the match because it is not an equal team.
Even when playing against Lens, I already have a prediction between PSG winning or drawing. The result is guaranteed and I will not believe that Lens can make it difficult for PSG in the upcoming match.

Yes, there is no doubt about it because both the teams will present an equal game which will lead to a draw in most of the match.  Both of them have similar win lists and hence their match will be interesting and either team can come out ahead because they want to work hard and play well.  That's why their performance is same but there will be a little difference if one of them plays well otherwise this match is going to be a draw in plain words.
You are absolutely right and besides, Monaco is a team that even if they play a bad game, they don't hesitate to strengthen themselves soon, so they will know that the opponent team is weak, so play well.  The match must be won and Monaco will do just that. Monaco have a good chance that they will not waste, they will go after them by winning this match, which will take them ahead of them when they get the chance again, which is enough to diminish their glory.

There is no other team in ligue 1 that shows extraordinary performance and consistency like PSG so far, so it is not surprising that with the support of mentality and also the quality of the squad they have can make them continue to dominate ligue 1,  PSG  succeeded beat Monaco and Marseille who currently also have a good quality squad, so facing lens, which is currently in 7th place in the ligue 1 standings, should not be a team that has the potential to break PSG unbeaten trend this season, but even so, I think PSG still must to wary game and revival from lens in the match, especially previously they managed to hold draw PSG 1-1 draw in normal time when facing off in the French cup.

If we want to predict with a little more risk, we can think about Nice winning.

I would like to start with the odds given for the sides:

- Lille : 2.02
- Draw : 3.70
- Nice : 3.65

This really makes me feel like a draw a lot as well.    Even the odds for the draw and Nice win are very close to each other. This also makes me doubt Lille at home here.

Will we see goals from both sides? I think we will. It has 1.70 odds which seems quite nice to add to a multi honestly. Lille aren't as good as Nice when it comes to scoring but it is a home game so I guess they would score.

When PSG plays in the local league, PSG is placed ahead of the other teams because there are as many teams in the France league as PSG is strong and always ahead of the league title fight with PSG performing well. This season is no exception, respectively a new season has started PSG is doing well there and they are continuing to do well and still they are at the bottom of the table. Maybe at the end of the season PSG will be at the bottom of the points table with the most points and they will be champions of the local league. Winning the France League title is never difficult for PSG but it is difficult for this team to do well in the Champions League. So much effort and so much money spent, nothing worked because PSG did not succeed in the Champions League despite all these efforts.  

PSG have a match against Lens on the 18th and I think PSG will get full points in this match as well.

Their previous meeting ended in a 2-2 draw at Nice's home ground. Now, at Lille's home ground, a draw is very likely. The odds offered are quite good.
Betting on both teams to score might be a good bet. The situation might favor one team to win if a team would be more advantaged by an early goal.

No wonder the odds available are so thin like that, because their position in the standings is still very competitive because they only have a gap of one point and also, their goal productivity is not much different. Thus, of course any result will be possible and it is difficult for us to determine the winning team in this match because after all, based  on the head to head record they also quite often have a draw. With such considerations, betting on this match may only be able to rely on courage and luck, because even if we do research, the choices will still be confusing.

The match between Brest VS Nantes in the French Cup ended with a score of 2-1, a victory for Brest.

In this match Brest was able to lead first with a score of 2-0 over Nantes, and was able to maintain it until the first half ended. While in the second half Brest was unable to do more, and instead of increasing the advantage, Brest lost its consistency in the 83rd minute, where through a goal scored by H.Guirasay, Nantes managed to reduce the deficit. but fortunately Brest's defense was solid enough so that out of the many attacks and shots launched by Nantes only one shot was right on target. so Brest emerged as the winner in this match.

That was intense; Brest rolled in as like they had something to prove, piling those two goals in the first half without breaking a sweat. Still, that second half? felt as though they applied the brakes far too quickly. Guirassy's aim almost spurred a comeback; a few more minutes of chaos, and Nantes might have pushed extra time or worse. And that Lees-Melou late walking in? Roy is throwing Guy into the storm while he is fresh off that fibula horror. Bold. Brest needs that second-half stamina dialled up if they want to keep it together against tougher teams like Rennes or Shakrar. 'Cause a single slip like that once more, and they are leaving empty-handed

You are right, we will only see a comparison that will not be much different. The best we can choose may have to be based on courage and luck as you said.
Maybe like a betting situation for a match like this, we have to rely on what we believe more or maybe our instincts. I will not make a bet now, there is still some time and I will do it a few hours before the match starts.

They could only score 1 goal in return and that was not enough to make them win and advance to the next round. Brest was indeed quite comfortable when they played in the second half because they held the 2 goal advantage they created in the first half. They also changed their playing style a little compared to the first half.

In terms of ball possession and attack, of course Nantes is a fairly superior team, where in the match they were able to control the ball up to 60% more, and led the attack by launching 16 attempts towards the Brest goal.

However, even so, the dominance and number of attacks seemed meaningless when the Nantes attackers were unable to make good final decisions. Where at least of the 16 shots launched by Nantes in the match, only 1 shot was on target towards the Brest goal. In this match, the Nantes attackers really found it quite difficult to find a gap to be able to shoot directly towards the goal.
