Le Havre spent the international break with the status of penultimate in the standings. A 17th place that the Normans abandoned last weekend after winning in Nantes 0-2. Didier Digard's team took a breath of fresh air by jumping to 14th place. A positioning however still making a team vulnerable in the race to maintain given its 2 small points lead over the virtual barrage. Le Havre were heavily beaten by Reims 0-3 before the break during their last reception.

 Getting out of the red zone, which Le Havre recently achieved, is now Angers' objective. The Anjou club is 17th in the championship and was only one point behind the first non-relegation place before the start of this 13th day of Ligue 1. It ended the month of October well and started November with respectively victories in front of Saint-Etienne 4-2 and in Monaco 0-1 but the SCO was stopped dead in its tracks.

Lyon, 6th in Ligue 1 with 19 points, can express regret at having lost points in Reims where they left with the point from the 1-1 draw last weekend. The Rhone club, however, had the opportunity to start a series of victories in the championship after having achieved a success over Saint-Etienne 1-0 in the derby before the international break. He was planning a trip to Azerbaijan on Thursday to face Qarabag in the Europa League. The Lyonnais then aimed to extend their current series of 5 invincibility matches in all competitions to best prepare for the reception in Nice.

 Nice, 5th in the Ligue 1 standings, has similarities with Lyon. The Aiglons also played a Europa League match on Thursday, against Glasgow Rangers, on a series of 5 matches without defeat in all competitions (3 wins, 2 draws). Their final meetings in the league ended in a draw at the end of the suspense against Lille 2-2 before the international break and a success last weekend, still at home, against a Strasbourg team 2-1 which opened the score.

Marseille is 3rd in Ligue 1, 3 points behind its opponent of the day. The Marseille club presented results below those expected at home but at the same time produced excellent performances on the road. He has the second worst record in the championship in his stadium, reflecting his last receptions. These ended in defeats against PSG 0-3 at the end of October and against Auxerre 1-3 before the international break. Roberto De Zerbi's players, on the other hand, are the best away team in Ligue 1. They left victorious in their last trips, to Montpellier 0-5, Nantes 1-2 and Lens 1-3. This alternation of results does not allow OM to begin a series of victories sought since September. To change the dynamic of his men, Roberto De Zerbi summoned them from Tuesday for a four-day green break.

 Opposite, Monaco, runner-up to PSG, has maintained a certain stability during its last outings in the league. ASM won in Strasbourg 1-3 before the break and at home against Brest 3-2 on the last day, thus taking a 3-point lead over OM, 3rd. The Monegasques have the second best defense in the elite, tied with PSG by their 10 goals conceded in 12 games. They are serious in Ligue 1 and must compete in the Champions League at the same time. Winners in Bologna 0-1 at the end of October, they found this picture on Wednesday on their lawn in front of Benfica. Match in which they led but lost 2-3.

Montpellier is the bottom of Ligue 1 with 7 points on the clock, all gleaned at home: 2 wins, a draw and 3 losses. The Hérault club remained on 6 defeats before defeating Stade Brestois 3-1 before the international break and was able to begin an unbeaten run last weekend in Saint-Etienne. An ambition that never saw the light of day. The MHSC of Jean-Louis Gasset was beaten by the smallest of margins 1-0 by the promoted team. It is 3 points behind the 17th, Angers, and the virtual roadblock, Nantes. Lille 4th approaches this trip on a series of 8 matches without losing in Ligue 1: 4 wins, 4 draws.

The northern club returned to its post-international break routine with a 1-0 victory against Rennes last weekend, putting their foot back on the accelerator after being frustrated at the end of added time by Nice 2-2. LOSC is also competing in the Champions League. He performed on the continental scene against the “big” Madrid, winning 1-0 against Real and 1-3 at Atlético and Juventus 1-1. On Wednesday, Bruno Genesio's players traveled to Bologna where they won by a 1-2 goal.

The international break may have done the greatest good for certain teams with unstable results. It's quite the opposite for Toulouse which remained on victories over Montpellier 0-3, Reims 1-0 and Rennes 0-2. The Violets had a lot to do to achieve a 4th success in a row since the schedule required them to travel to PSG on the last day. They left the Parc des Princes with a 3-0 defeat in their bags. Its string of successes now finished, however, allowed TFC to return to the rankings, to 10th position.

 The promoted Auxerre, who would be satisfied with being kept in Ligue 1 at the end of the year, is doing better than fighting at the bottom of the rankings for the moment. He ranks 7th before the start of the 13th day thanks to his very good form at the moment. AJA recently won a draw and 4 victories including at Marseille 1-3 before the break and last weekend at home against Angers 1-0. Present on the threshold of the qualifying places for a European Cup, Christophe Pélissier's team is the second most fit team in Ligue 1 behind PSG over the last 5 days.
