The battle for the 2023-24 Ligue 1 title carries on this weekend as PSG try to increase their lead over Brest and the rest of the teams in this competition. PSG's lead seems unbeatable at this point, but only the turmoil created by Mbappé's exit this summer could deviate the club from its main goal of the season.
Speaking of those behind them, Brest went back to winning ways last weekend, keeping their 2nd place intact against Monaco, who also won their clash. Following them closely is Lille, who are now three points behind Monaco and seem as a major threat for the Red and White side.
Additionally, the relegation battle in Ligue 1 promises to keep fans glued to their seats. Metz and Lorient need to win games to keep the pressure on Le Havre and Nantes, while Clermont are looking for a way out of the drop zone. Unfortunately for the The Lancers, leaving the 18th spot may not come easy due to their upcoming clash against the league leaders.
Here are the main things to keep in mind ahead of this weekend's matches.

Top games to watch
Lille vs Marseille - Following their loss in Le Classique last week, Marseille will try to pick themselves up when they make the trip to visit Lille. Both teams could benefit from a win, as they are three points away from their nearest rivals in the table, which would give them options to play European tournaments next season. Lille are unbeaten in their last four, while Marseille have lost two in a row during the worst possible moments, as they could have already reached caught up with Nice in fifth place. The previous match between these teams ended in a goalless draw, which could be an indication of how tight this clash could be.

PSG vs Clermont - The league leaders kept their 12-point lead at the top with their win in last week's clash vs Marseille, and now they get to face Clermont, who are 18th in the tournament with only four wins to their name this season. The first game of the season between these teams surprisingly ended in a goalless draw, something that could mean this game will not be as easy as expected. Nonetheless, with PSG's lead in the league and their upcoming Champions League match, we could see Luis Enrique resting his usual starters (including Mbappé), which could blow the game wide open.

Brest vs Metz - The current runners-up in Ligue 1 return to their stadium to face Metz, one of the clubs involved in the relegation battle and who have not been able to win their last two games against their hosts on Sunday. Metz have also lost two in a row before this game, compared to Brest's run that has seen Eric Roy's men winning three out of their last five, and considering their current form, it would be quite surprising to see the away side claiming one point from this clash.
