PSG must revive, the others will want to follow.
Paris lost 3-1 to Lens on the last day so they need to get back on track straight away. A result other than a victory against the last of the championship could not be accepted. Even if Angers are better in content since the change of coach during the World Cup. It’s up to the Parisians to at least keep Lens (2nd) away, or even to get ahead again.
But we expect to see Lens follow up with a trip to Strasbourg, a 19th in great difficulty. Even if the change of trainer decided at the beginning of the week can help to have an unlocking. OM (3rd) will also be widely preferred against Troyes (13th), even if we know that the Marseillais are capable of anything. Rennes (4th) must be wary of the placement in Clermont (9th), but is much preferred with a good dynamic in progress.
The “shock” of the day is for Lorient (6th) who will face Monaco (5th). The first team has revived while the second is on a very impressive transmission. It will be an important match in the race for Europe, with a certain spectacle expected.
