Ligue 1: the program for the 20th day, with the shock OM – Monaco
It’s time for the return matches! Ligue 1 returns to start its second half of the season, and among the posters expected this weekend there will be a fine duel in the Top 5, between Olympique de Marseille and AS Monaco, who had already offered us a suspenseful match on the way out… Here is the program for this 20th day in the league.
After a short break to make way for the Coupe de France last weekend, Ligue 1 will reinvest in the living rooms from this Friday 27 and until Sunday 29 January. Arrived at mid-season, the championship begins its return phase on this 20th day. So it’s time for revenge, the time to give everything or at least not let go, to keep your comfortable position or on the contrary try to grab places in the standings. As a reminder, it is still PSG who are in the lead with 47 points, followed by the surprise of the season, Lens which recorded 44 points, OM positioning themselves on the last step of the podium with 42 points, while Monaco and Rennes are neck and neck in 4th and 5th place, each with 37 points. Will we see, in the weeks to come, an upheaval in this Top 5, synonymous with European opportunities for next season? And at the bottom of the table, will the four clubs currently threatened with relegation – Brest, Ajaccio, Auxerre and Angers – manage to try again to stay in the championship in 2023-24?
Everything still remains to be done, enough to promise an exciting second half of the season… With already some crisp posters for this 20th day of Ligue 1, which will open with a little Breton derby as we like them: FC Lorient (7th) will host Stade Rennais (5th) this Friday evening, at 9 p.m., in a match to follow live on Prime Video. We note that it was the Merlus who took the advantage in the first leg, on August 7, the important 1-0 during their trip to the Rouge et Noir.
OM – Monaco: another suspenseful duel in the Top 5
After this nice appetizer, the championship will obviously return on Saturday with two matches: Troyes (14th) against Lens (2nd) at 5 p.m., followed at 9 p.m. by the shock of this 20th day, OM (3rd) against Monaco (4th) . On the one hand, we therefore have the third in the championship, currently on a good series of victories since the Marseillais are undefeated since last November, with six successes in a row. On the other hand, the Principality club is not doing too badly either, remaining in particular on a hell of a slap lost in Ajaccio on January 15, 7-1. His last defeat dates back to November, and it was precisely against Olympique de Marseille. The Phocaeans, on the move on the Rock, managed to snatch victory in added time, to win 3-2. Suffice to say that this new duel promises to be electric! Not to be missed on the Canal+ football channels.
We will barely have time to recover from our emotions, that it is then a beautiful Sunday 100% football which will await us, as always. The day will start at 1 p.m. with the Niçois (10th) who defeated LOSC (6th), before moving on to the traditional multiplex. Four matches are scheduled simultaneously on Prime Video: Auxerre (19th) – Montpellier (15th), Brest (17th) – Angers (20th), Clermont (8th) – Nantes (13th) and Strasbourg (16th) – Toulouse (12th). ). After which, Ajaccio (18th) will face a new challenge by hosting OL (9th), at 5 p.m. And finally, it is the leaders of the championship who will close this 20th day at 8:45 p.m.: after conceding a draw in the first leg, PSG will play at home against Stade de Reims (11th), in a meeting to follow on Prime Video .
