In the aftermath of an AJA-OM still on everyone's lips, and a few hours before an OL-PSG with an equally spicy perfume, this 23rd day of Ligue 1 confirmed some fairly clear trends. Nantes may have been slapped in Monaco a week ago (1-7), it is Lens which is in the most worrying dynamic, at the moment. And this crossing of trajectories took advantage of the Canaries, in a vintage duel that flourished in the 90s.
Leroux (36th), Moses Simon on penalty (60th) and Elia (90th) found the way to the nets for the Canaries, who will only trembled after another transformed penalty El Ayanaoui (64th). More than the raw result, it is the impression left by these Sang et Or which becomes worrying, since Will Still's team remains on three defeats in matches finished in inferiority. Decimated this winter, Lens slides slowly but surely in the soft belly in the ranking. Nantes gives himself a real breath of fresh air taking 5 points ahead of the barragist.
It will be necessary to count on Nice
In this area of the table, Precisely, Strasbourg and Brest also found themselves. For Eric Roy's team, there was a wound to heal after the brutal 0-7 conceded to the Parc des Princes this week. The Brestois succeeded by winning somehow a draw and virgin against a team in great shape (0-0).
Toulouse did even better by plunging Le Havre back into his doubts, thanks to a successless success (4-1). Téfecé returns to AJA to slip into tenth place. And Le Havre, penultimate, owes its salvation only in Montpellier, which has not experienced better fortune by logically bowing in Nice. Carried by a still decisive Clauss (30th) and a boudaoui scorer (65th), the gym brilliantly confirms that he will have a role to play in this final sprint. Franck Haise's team is third without anyone finding nothing to say. For Montpellier, the last, the horizon is blocked for the moment.
