Angers relapsed a month later, Sunday, on the field of Lille 1-0. The end of an invincibility of 3 matches marked in particular by draws against Monaco 1-1 and Marseille 2-2, two contenders for the podium. Meanwhile, SCO beat Lorient 3-0 two weeks ago during their last reception 2-0. Having left the red zone thanks to these convincing results, the Anjou club now sees the danger approaching. It occupies 14th place in Ligue 1, one point behind the virtual barrier and 2 behind the first relegation zone. The decline never ends for Auxerre, the new red lantern in Ligue 1 after its 0-1 defeat against Marseille despite a numerical superiority in the last half hour of play.

AJA is coming out of a week of 3 defeats without scoring. The first of them came against Le Havre 0-1, with a surprise, and with a heavier score in Strasbourg 3-0. The worst attack in Ligue 1, 7 goals in 11 games, has lost 5 of its last 6 outings, for a draw, and is 2 points behind the first non-relegation team. The situation is becoming more and more tense for his trainer Christophe Pélissier.

Virtual play-off on goal difference in 16th place, FC Lorient sees a last opportunity to win present itself between the October and November truces. He has not experienced this happiness since September 27. What followed were 2 draws and 3 defeats for the outgoing Ligue 2 champion, who however caused a sensation in the middle of last week by beating PSG at home 1-1. The Merlus fell heavily in the process at Lens 3-0. They have the second worst defense in the elite with 25 goals conceded in 11 matches. Toulouse is also stuck in a drought, although less long than that of its opponent of the day.

The Violets were defeated by a narrow header in Monaco 1-0 and shared the points last week with Rennes 2-2 and Le Havre 0-0. They are 9th in Ligue 1, 5 points from the top 5 despite their results. TFC has always won by series in this first third of the year. He overthrew Lyon 1-2 at the start of October and beat Metz 4-0 after the break before slowing down.

The last week of 2 days of Ligue 1 was fatal for OL, held by Paris FC 3-3, despite a 3-goal lead, and forced to share the points with Brest 0-0 at the end of a match played almost entirely outnumbered. This slow progress cost him his place on the podium. Winner of a meeting this year since the October break, Lyon was relegated to 6th place but was only 2 points behind 2nd before the weekend's matches. Paulo Fonseca's players had the opportunity, Thursday, at Betis Sevilla, to find good sensations in a Europa League league phase that they mastered. Europe was also on the program for PSG this week. And the outgoing Champions League winner was helpless at home against a relentless Bayern Munich side 1-2.

The return to the Championship marks an opportunity to relaunch this Sunday during its last match before the international break. The French Champion, led by the strongest defense in the elite, leads the way after 11 days but blows hot and cold in the last matches. He was caught by the relegated Lorient 1-1 in the middle of last week and immediately won at the end of added time against Nice 1-0. Its alternation of draws and defeats since the end of September still leaves its pursuers in the title race.

A sudden boost was enough for FC Metz to shed their bottom position. The only team not to have won after the first 9 days, the promoted team unlocked its counter in the middle of last week against RC Lens 2-0 and followed up with the same score on Sunday in Nantes. He is now penultimate in 17th place, ahead of Auxerre and one point behind his last opponent, the first non-relegation player in the Championship. Before this unexpected series, the Grenats remained on the road against Marseille 0-3, Toulouse 4-0 and especially Lille 6-1. This tendency to suffer heavy defeats makes FC Metz the worst defense in Ligue 1, with 26 goals conceded in 11 days. Opposite, Nice has just tasted defeat in Ligue 1 for the first time since September 20.

The Aiglons conceded a setback at the end of the suspense on the PSG pitch 1-0, thus seeing a series of 3 victories closed. They had notably defeated major opponents since the October break, namely Lyon 3-2, Rennes 1-2 and Lille 2-0. Franck Haise's team, however, remains outside the qualifying places for Europe. 8th in the Championship, it has great difficulty alternating between its schedule on the national scene and that in the Europa League. Le Gym was defeated in its first 3 outings this year and had to react on Thursday at home against Friborg to put itself back in the qualification race.

Strasbourg 7th received a lesson last weekend at Rennes 4-1, accumulating a third match without a victory in the Championship since the October break. This dates back to his last reception, two weeks ago, against Auxerre 3-0. Racing's poor form took it out of the top 6, from which it is relegated to one point, but Liam Rosenior's players are still in the running for Europe since 3 points separated them from 2nd before the weekend's matches. They had the opportunity to get back on track on Thursday in Sweden, against Häcken, through the Conference League. Lille 4th is more successful than its opponent in the Championship despite its timid victory last weekend against Angrs 1-0.

The third in its last 4 outings in the exercise for a LOSC team stopped in its tracks in Nice 2-0 in the middle of last week. It therefore follows the tempo set by the podium teams once the first third of the exercise has passed. The Mastiffs were aiming for victory on Thursday in the Europa League on the pitch of the Red Star in Belgrade, as a dress rehearsal for this high-stakes trip on the national scene.
