Shocks: Lille and Monaco lag behind Rennes and Marseille

The fight for European places raged this weekend in Ligue 1.

Thanks to Jonathan David finally on the attack, Lille negotiated a perilous trip to Rennes on Sunday afternoon (1-0) and continues to follow the frantic pace of Paris Saint-Germain at the head of our championship.

The Bretons are missing a new opportunity to get closer to the leading teams, unlike Monaco, which managed to overthrow Marseille on Saturday night in its lair of Louis-II (3-1).

Sovereign over the stopped phases, Niko Kovac’s men kept the podium (4 pts) and the head (6 pts) within shooting range, three points ahead of Rennes.

With one match less, OM are now eleven lengths behind the leading trio.

The derby: Lyon too strong for the Greens

There was no match on Sunday evening in the 122nd derby between Lyonnais and Stéphanois. Deprived of Paqueta (suspended), Aouar and Cornet (injured), OL inflicted a severe 5-0 on a young Forézienne formation, deprived of several executives affected by the Covid-19.

Kadewere (again) and Marcelo scored a double, then poor Bouanga scored against his side to seal a score identical to that of a November 2017 night, where Nabil Fekir pulled off his jersey, causing ire Stéphane supporters.

This clear victory allows the Rhone to get ahead of ASSE in the total balance sheet of the confrontations between the two clubs (45 wins, 33 draws, 44 defeats).

The demonstration: Paris is gaining momentum

Friday evening at the Parc des Princes, PSG took advantage of the rapid exclusion of the Hérault goalkeeper Jonas Omlin to achieve a large success against the MHSC (4-0). An opponent who is particularly successful for the players of the capital at home: they remain on four successes by at least four goals against Montpellier.

The Parisian attacking trio Neymar-Mbappé-Icardi seems to be picking up speed, just over three weeks before the knockout stages of the Champions League against FC Barcelona.

The player: Hwang Ui-Jo (Bordeaux)

Thanks to the double of Hwang Ui-Jo (8th, 11th), Bordeaux has chained a third consecutive success which brings him back to Marseille (6th).

Since being aligned at the forefront, the South Korean continues to weigh on the game of his team. The dynamics of the “Hwang Express”, already scorer in Nice (3-0), embodies the current success of the Girondins, not unhappy against the dominant Angevins.

On the rise: Nice regains victory after a month of famine

Nice finally won after a month of famine. The Aiglons beat Lens (1-0) who had nevertheless shone in Marseille on Wednesday. The Niçois remained on three defeats and two draws and can thank Youcef Atal who scored the only goal of the match after returning from the locker room (49th). Nice managed to keep their advantage against almost harmless Lensois.

Down: things are going badly in Nantes

After his defeat in Metz (2-0), Nantes went on a twelfth game without a win (7 draws and 5 defeats), its worst current series and the longest famine in its history in Ligue 1. Nothing is going well with the Canaries.

The number :

11

Dijon remains on eleven meetings without success at home (6 draws, 5 defeats). This is the worst current series in Ligue 1 and a record in the history of the Burgundy club in the elite.

The sentence: Olivier Dall’Oglio, coach of Brest
