After losing the top spot last week following a disappointing defeat at Monaco, PSG really needs to bounce back. It's not going to be easy against a Rennes team that is in great form and has even secured a spot in the European places. There will be a desire to confirm in Paris, which cannot afford to delay.

The European race also includes a highly anticipated Lille/Marseille match. The Lille team continues to hang on, while the Marseille team missed the chance to take the top spot last weekend. It will be intense, and we hope there will be a spectacle.

Lens is experiencing pressure it hasn't felt in 20 years with the top of the championship. It would be a shame to slip up at Nantes, a struggling 16th place. But they have also managed some nice surprises this season. As we've seen, football can change quickly, and Ligue 1 is difficult to predict. Lyon will also need to be cautious at Lorient, which has regained confidence with a win at Nice. A team that really needs to bounce back after 4 defeats, except Angers has been showing good things lately.

Under pressure, we also find Strasbourg, which is at the end of the European race after being in the top spots. A trip to Toulouse is no gift for a comeback, as the Toulouse team can catch up with this group. However, it's a step they often struggle to take.

Monaco will also need to avoid being caught by confirming the improved mindset shown against PSG. There will be no choice against the very combative Brest team. Finally, the relegation battle is between Le Havre and Paris FC, two teams with very different budgets that would like to avoid worries.
