Title: Ligue 1 Round 22 Standings: Lens Closes In On Paris, Marseille Drops To Fourth
In the second round of the 2021-2022 season of French football's top flight, two teams have risen and fallen as the league races for supremacy.
First up is Lens, who has come close to securing a place at the top of the table after securing a crucial win against Nantes. The team, which was struggling in recent seasons, now looks set to make some waves this season. With their victory over Nantes, Lens secured its sixth consecutive victory and moved up to fourth place in the standings.
Next up is Marseille, who has struggled recently with injuries and inconsistency. However, they have shown signs of improvement since the start of the season, especially under the guidance of coach Jean-Michel Aulas. Despite losing to Lens in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final match, Marseille bounced back to win the game and move up to fifth place in the table.
However, there are still concerns about Marseille's form. They have conceded more goals than they've scored so far this season, and their defense has been a major concern. Additionally, the club has struggled with injuries, particularly among key players like Mathieu Valbuena and Christian Benteke.
Despite these challenges, it remains to be seen how well these teams perform in the upcoming matches. Only time will tell whether either of them can secure their places in the top three of the table. For now, both teams look set to continue their strong performances and hopefully progress further in the competition.
