Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to six points with a comfortable 3-0 win over AC Ajaccio at Stade Francois Coty.

Messi has his second assist of the game, as he plays another through ball to Mbappe to his left inside the penalty area. It is a sublime assist from Mbappe, as he plays the give-and-go back to the Argentine inside the box with a backheel that takes out Gonzalez, and Messi taps the ball home to surely seal the win for PSG. 21’ - JUST OVER - That is the home side's best chance of the match! More often than not, he played just behind Mbappe as a second striker, and he linked up well with his team-mate as both players were involved in all three of the Paris goals. The 35-year-old made a total of four key passes in this match, with two of those becoming assists for Mbappe. As the game progressed, the holes in the home side's defence opened up, and it led to Paris' first goal, which was clinically worked and finished beautifully by Mbappe.

An out of sorts Monaco team will hardly be relishing the prospect of facing Paulo Fonseca’s Lille, who have now returned to form and dismantled Strasbourg last week. The pick of this weekend’s matches is a clash between third and fourth – Lens look irresistible, and save for a derby defeat to Lille two weeks ago have always shown up for the big occasion. It’s three points for a correct score, two points for a correct score difference and one point for a correct result.

But then, as the match went on, it began to deteriorate, unfortunately. But Ajaccio still put us under pressure for 20-25 minutes with a direct game plan, using the wings.

Marseille continued to pour forward in the second half but Samba stood firm to keep the visitors in the game with numerous saves, doing well to deny Chancel Mbemba and Matteo Guendouzi from close range. The goal came against the run of play in the 78th minute when substitute Da Costa took a hopeful shot from distance which took a heavy deflection and looped over goalkeeper Pau Lopez to settle in the back of the net. (Reuters) - RC Lens moved up to second in Ligue 1 with a tenacious 1-0 victory at Olympique Marseille on Saturday as Franck Haise's team handed the home side a third straight loss after David da Costa scored a late winner.

PARIS (AP) — Lens punished Marseille for its wasteful finishing, winning 1-0 with a deflected late shot to move up to second place in the French league on.

We should have won,” midfielder Valentin Rongier told Canal Plus television. “Of course we could have won. But he took one touch too many and wasted a good chance.

But Lille’s Jonathan David is very much in contention to finish as the division’s top scorer, with a brace in last week’s 3-0 win at Strasbourg taking him to nine for the season, level with Neymar and one ahead of Mbappe. Rennes were a little inconsistent in the opening weeks of the season but they are now very much the team to beat after an excellent run of form. With Marseille on home soil at the Stade Velodrome, it’s a chance to move back into the top three and put the PSG loss behind them. Back-to-back wins against Sporting in the Champions League have left Marseille in a good position to qualify for the last 16, but attention now is on domestic football. PSG have kicked off the weekend with a 3-0 win at Ajaccio to move six points clear at the top of Ligue 1 ahead of the rest of the division's Matchday 12 fixtures. Defeat to PSG was a blow for Marseille and followed a surprise loss to Ajaccio the weekend before.

Worth noting though is that their success so far has largely been borne of a fantastic home record – six wins from six – and on the road they are 1-3-1. [DRAFTKINGS SPORTSBOOK](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/draftkings-sportsbook/) 18 / 8 It’s no coincidence that Lens’ last two games have ended with a 1-0 scoreline, as low-scoring games have been their trademark this season so far. Lens bounced back perfectly from their derby day defeat by Lille in Week 9, with a vital 1-0 home win over Montpellier. 20 / 8 In a very crowded top six, every dropped point comes at a cost. For them to stay in touch with PSG they badly need a win against Lens. Marseille will take heart from a good performance in the capital and could well have rescued a point but for Samuel Gigot’s 72nd-minute red card. The draw is listed at +255 – an implied probability of 28.2%.
