Match schedule for Matchday 32.
The match between PSG (1st) and Strasbourg (7th) may not be the most important of the weekend, but we can expect a good atmosphere and plenty of pace. Strasbourg are at the bottom of the race for Europe, but only 4 points off 2nd place. We have to give it our all to pick up precious points.
And they’ll be hoping to take advantage of PSG’s focus on their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal (return on Wednesday). All of which puts us in real danger of extending our unbeaten away record in any of Europe’s 5 major leagues (England, Germany, Spain, Italy and France).
Just behind them in the standings, Lille (3rd) play host to OM (2nd). Defeat can be very painful, and the battle will be fierce. Especially as the rivals seem to be favourites.
Nice (6th) play host to Reims (13th), who have yet to secure their place in Ligue 1 next season, but look pretty safe. Monaco (4th) travel to Saint-Etienne (17th), in serious danger. You have to be wary of energy to survive, especially as the Stéphanois are capable of great things. But they also have weaknesses that the Monegasques could take advantage of.
Olympique Lyonnais (5th) welcome Lens (8th), who could still be dangerous, except that the race for Europe is over for the Lensois, and last week’s 0-4 defeat by Auxerre was a case of “giving up”.
The current 10th-placed team will also be the target of Le Havre (16th), who are fighting for survival and need to pick up points. These would be invaluable in putting pressure on Nantes (14th) and Angers (15th), who meet just before.
