Having just won against a Nice team in 0-1 crisis, Angers is having a good time at the end of the year. A third victory in the last 4 days played against Auxerre 2-0, Toulouse 0-1, Lens defeated 1-2 and therefore Nice. This significant contribution of points for Angevins contenders to maintain places them in 11th position in the ranking as mid-season approaches, with a good margin of maneuver over the first relegation - 8 points. The SCO was defeated twice in its first 7 receptions of the year, for 3 victories and 2 draws. FC Nantes fell a little further into the red last weekend.

Defeated in the last quarter of an hour by Lens 1-2, the Canaries suffered a second defeat in a row, after that at Lyon 3-0, and now have 6 games without a win, 2 draws, 4 losses. The situation seriously weakens their coach Luis Castro, whom the leaders will keep in his post for this meeting and the 32nd final of the Coupe de France on December 21 against Concarneau. His team is not the one to concede the most goals in the first part of the season but they managed only one clean sheet in the first 15 days.

FC Metz is experiencing the first months of adaptation to the level of Ligue 1 at the roller coaster pace. While he thought he had done the hardest part by snatching 3 wins in a row between the 10th and 12th day to get out of the relegation zone, the promoted player has since fallen back into his ways. The good series ended last month in Brest 3-2 for Grenats also beaten against Rennes 0-1 and Sunday at Auxerre 3-1. Doubled in the standings by its last tormentor, Metz once again became bottom of Ligue 1, 4 points behind the first non-relegation place.

 PSG has one last opportunity to regain control of the Championship before the end of year break. Dispossessed of the throne by Lens after its misstep in Monaco 1-0 at the end of November, the best defense in Ligue 1 remains one point behind the northern club despite its big victory against Rennes 5-0. The Rouge et Bleu, however, had a major trip to negotiate on Wednesday in Bilbao for the Champions League, before focusing on the national calendar.

Paris FC welcome Toulouse to the Stade Jean Bouin in what promises to be a fascinating Ligue 1 clash. Over the past two months, Paris FC have been working hard to stabilize their campaign after a rocky start. Their recent 1-1 draw against Auxerre showed signs of resilience, with Ilan Kebbal finding the net to secure a point. Before that, they battled to another draw against Le Havre, though they suffered a setback in a defeat to Lille earlier in December. The team has been praised for tightening its defensive structure, even if consistency in attack remains elusive. News around the club has focused on their determination to avoid slipping into the relegation zone, with coach Stéphane Gilli emphasizing discipline and balance in midfield.

Toulouse, meanwhile, arrive with a slightly stronger run of form, though they too have faced challenges. In the past two months, Toulouse managed a hard-fought win but followed it with a string of draws, including stalemates against Montpellier and Brest. Their resilience has been notable, as they have avoided heavy defeats, but the lack of cutting edge in front of goal has been a recurring theme. Toulouse’s squad news has highlighted the importance of keeping key players fit, especially after injuries disrupted their rhythm earlier in the season. The club has also been in the spotlight for its youth development, with several academy graduates earning minutes in recent fixtures, a sign of long-term planning despite the immediate pressures of Ligue 1 competition.

Stade Rennais saw its enchanted parenthesis close last Saturday at the Parc des Princes, scene of a severe defeat against PSG 5-0. The Rouge et Noir then remained on 4 victories, which allowed them to emerge from the crisis and gain a lot of confidence, notably with convincing successes against Strasbourg 4-1 and Monaco 4-1. 6th in Ligue 1, 5 lengths from the podium, Rennes is in the midst of qualifying for a European Cup.

 The other Breton team in this poster, Brest 10th, remains on victories gleaned against Metz 3-2 at the end of the suspense, Strasbourg 1-2 in a stunning match and Monaco despite a last half hour played in numerical inferiority 1-0. This prosperous period, the club's best in the first part of the season, brings SB 29 one point closer to the upper half of the ranking and moves it 8 points away from the first relegation zone.
