Ligue 1 resumes its rights after the second international break of the season. The Greens will host Lens this Saturday. An important match for ASSE which can turn its season around in the event of a positive result. Presentation of the J8 of L1.
Monaco – Lille (Friday October 18 at 8:45 p.m.)
The leader of Ligue 1 impresses. Nineteen points out of 21 possible. Only one draw conceded since the start of the season for ASM. PSG sees a major competitor arrive in the title race. LOSC will have a lot to do to grab points in the principality. A gala match against two teams aiming for European places at the end of the season.
Brest – Rennes (Saturday October 19 at 5 p.m.)
Breton derby between two teams who must take points. Stade Brestois showed that they intended to give everything on the European stage. Just four lengths from the red zone, they would fall into the first part of the classification. Facing them, Stade Rennais aspires to better days. They have seven points on the clock. Like ASSE. Julien Stephan is expected around the corner to reconnect with the club’s ambitions.
ASSE – Lens (Saturday October 19 at 7 p.m.)
After a failed start to the season, the Greens reassured themselves by winning in style against a timid Auxerre team. ASSE will have the opportunity to confirm that they are making progress this Saturday. A strong opponent facing them since Racing Club de Lens, currently sixth in Ligue 1, will be difficult to handle. Announced to a sold-out crowd, the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium will be the twelfth man for Saint-Etienne. In the event of a victory, ASSE would move to the right side of the ranking. Enough to move forward calmly.
PSG – Strasbourg (Saturday October 19 at 9 p.m.)
Paris welcomes the surprising Strasbourg team. Well led by Nanasi, the Alsatians play pleasant football. PSG is warned, they will have to take this meeting in the right direction to respond to the energy of the RCSA.
Le Havre – Lyon (Sunday October 20 at 3 p.m.)
Le Havre intends to fight to maintain its place in Ligue 1. After a good start to the season, the Normans are struggling and have a series of defeats. They will receive a team whose shape is completely opposite. OL are finding some color and seem to have found the formula to score points.
Nantes – Nice (Sunday October 20 at 5 p.m.)
Nantes had also started the season well. Comfortably installed in tenth place in Ligue 1, Antoine Koumbouaré’s men would be well inspired to rediscover the taste of victory. Not easy against Nice who will move with ambition.
Toulouse – Angers (Sunday October 20 at 5 p.m.)
Shock for maintenance. Both Toulouse and Angers are struggling. The last one goes to the current dam operator. The TFC will be keen to break down the SCO. The Angevins still hope to achieve their first victory of the season.
Auxerre – Reims (Sunday October 20 at 5 p.m.)
Auxerre has just taken a slap at Geoffroy-Guichard. A defeat against a direct competitor which will have to be quickly erased. Far from being easy against one of the teams in form, Stade de Reims. Currently fourth in Ligue 1, the Rémois perform week after week and impose themselves in the first third of the championship.
Montpellier – Marseille (Sunday October 20 at 9 p.m.)
At the end of this J8 of Ligue 1, Montpellier will try to stand up to OM this Sunday evening. A meeting between two teams that are completely opposed in sporting terms. The MHSC is currently holding its own and appears particularly feverish. Faced with them, OM aspires to great ambitions. However, the Marseille people remain with two disappointments. Against Strasbourg and Angers, OM disappointed. They cannot afford to go through this again.
