The French Ligue 1 season continues to heat up with the second half of the campaign in full swing. In this round, two teams that were once at the top of the table have fallen out of contention for the title.
One team that has been struggling is Marseille, who currently sit in fourth place in the league table. The club's performance has been inconsistent, and they have struggled to find their form since the departure of former manager Lucien Favre. Despite this, Marseille still have some talented players on their roster, including star striker Florian Thauvin and defensive midfielder Jérémy Mathieu.
On the other hand, Lens, a team that was previously considered one of the favorites to win the championship, have also had a difficult season. They currently occupy third place in the table, but their performances have not been as consistent as they were earlier in the season. However, Lens still have some strong performers on their side, including striker Kévin Gameiro and midfielders Maxence Domis and Jonathan Bamba.
As for the rest of the teams in the league, there are still several teams fighting for the remaining spots in the playoffs. Paris Saint-Germain, who are currently leading the standings, will need to continue their impressive form if they want to secure their spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Nice, who were once in the mix for the title, are now looking like they may be slipping back into mediocrity.
Overall, it looks like the French Ligue 1 season is shaping up to be a very competitive one. With so many teams still fighting for positions in the playoffs, any slip-up could mean the end of a championship bid. As the season progresses, we'll see which teams can hold onto their position and which ones will fall behind. Stay tuned for more updates!
