Back to serious matters for Ligue 1 clubs after the international break. At the opening of this 14th day of the championship, Monaco faces Lille on Friday. Two teams losing momentum after having had a good season last year. ASM, 17 goals in 13 games and defending champion Losc, 16 goals, have an attack problem. The two clubs can hope to revive on Friday to return to the podium.
On Saturday, Lionel Messi’s PSG faces Nantes. The leader of L1 has taken off and will be difficult to catch up. The only downside is the absence of goals scored by Leo Messi in the league. If he played 326 minutes of play since his signing, the Argentine striker has remained silent in front of the net. PSG will have their heads already turned to their next Champions League meeting on Wednesday against Manchester City.
Sunday, shock poster on the program. An Olympico between Lyon and Marseille which already looks like a turning point in the season. The Lyonnais remain on a defeat of size: 4-1 against Rennes. They must pull themselves together to stay in the race for Europe. For Marseille, which has not won in Lyon in the league since 2007, this shock is an opportunity to give relief to a mixed start to the season. In danger in the Europa League, the fourth in L1 struggles to follow in the league, with only two victories in the last eight meetings.
Also on the menu this Sunday: the Dauphin Lens is traveling to Brest (17th). The third Nice goes to the promoted Clermont.
