Ligue 1 is heating up! Recent matches show that midweek fixtures are proving tough for even the top teams. PSG struggled against Nice, Marseille barely scraped a win against a lower-ranked team, and Monaco suffered a shock home defeat to a newly promoted side.
The drama continued with Strasbourg holding Stade Rennais. Ludovic Blas returned to the Rennes squad for the match against Strasbourg, while Seko Fofana was absent. A win for Strasbourg would have seen them draw level with Marseille in second place, pushing Monaco down the table.
Monaco's position is even more precarious. Wins for Lyon (against Brest), Lens (against Lorient), and/or Lille (against Angers) could see them drop further down the standings. The Brest vs. Lyon match featured Hans Hateboer in the Lyon squad, with the former Rennes player potentially starting the game.
Key Takeaways from the Ligue 1 Action:
- Midweek matches are causing upsets.
- Strasbourg's draw with Rennes impacts the top of the table.
- Monaco's position is under threat from multiple teams.
- Hans Hateboer could make his debut for Lyon against Brest.
