Three things to watch before Ligue 1 matchday 4 | OneFootball

Penultimate Ligue 1 matchday before the international break: coaches in the hot seat need to convince, teams on the brink of crisis need reassurance, and we, the followers, are eager to savour it all!

Here’s a look at the talking points of this Matchday 4, which has all the makings of a trap for the big guns.

Alert: two coaches under pressure?

Who will be the first Ligue 1 coach sacked this season?

After three matchdays, two men find themselves in an uncomfortable position (and soon an untenable one?). Will Still, who arrived with great fanfare this summer, is bottom of the table with Auxerre after three defeats in three matches. Meanwhile, Olivier Pantaloni is still waiting for his first win in Nice colours (two draws and one defeat).

As fate would have it, these two coaches tipped to be under pressure will face off on Saturday at 20:45. Misery for the loser?

Blue fear among the Phocaeans

It’s hard to say whether Olympique de Marseille are at the start of a crisis or already right in the middle of one. But one thing is certain: if they lose away to Rennes on Friday night, the crisis will be total and deep. Beware the Estéban Lepaul threat!

While rumours of Bruno Genesio’s resignation continue to poison the atmosphere on the Canebière, Rennes are riding a run of two straight wins. Another victory would temporarily send the Bretons to the top of Ligue 1!

OM, a wounded beast that could still have its say tonight? Find out at 20:45 on Ligue 1+!

Paris must win... to silence the doubts!

Paris Saint-Germain finally need to get their Ligue 1 season up and running. Boosted by their emphatic 6-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava, PSG must now climb out of the middle of the Ligue 1 table before the (long) September international break.

Sitting 13th after two draws and one defeat in three matchdays does not reflect the stature of the two-time European champions. Brest now stand in the way of the Parisian giants, determined to deepen their doubts even further.

SB29 have made a solid start to the season (7th place, 1 win and 2 draws) and will not be easy to break down.
