Lille, Monaco and Rennes in the lead, OL and Paris FC in ambush, the start of the Ligue 1 season offers a totally unexpected scenario, with a PSG which has already dropped a lot of points on the way. Which makes his trip to CEPAC Vélodrome even tastier this Sunday, September 20, for the first Classic of the season. Obviously, with its armada of talented players, the capital club advances as a huge favorite on the lawn of an OM disfigured by the summer transfer window, completed without recruits. But OM can count on one man, their coach Bruno Genesio, capable of making big moves whenever he faces a formidable opponent.
The 5th day will therefore be the scene of the clash between Parisians and Marseillais, but it promises many other hot spots. Starting on Friday with a Monaco-Lens which will be particularly scrutinized. Firstly because the Principality club has 10 points in 4 days and can take the lead, then because RC Lens has experienced a tormented week with the totally unexpected ousting of its coach Dino Toppmöller. We will have to see how the Lensois players react, not at their best in the championship since the start of the season. Other shocks are on the program such as OL-Rennes and Paris FC-Strasbourg, two duels at the top of the table.
