Six point deficit that could quickly transform into nine after Sunday night tells us that Olympique Marseille has lost their last glimpse of hope they could upset Paris Saint-Germain and steal the title.Their Friday night 1-1 home draw against Montpellier killed the drama around Ligue 1 that could have stayed a little longer. Especially since Montpellier are a mid-table slot, and the home team’s victory was the most probable outcome by far.MONTPELLIER’S OPENERHowever, the visitors didn’t think so, as they rushed straight from the start to come in front and stun everyone around.Arnaud Nordin netted just 12 minutes into the match with the help of Wahi to silence the vocal home crowd and take the pendulum to the other side.OM did manage to fight back a bit, led by ex-Arsenal trio Alexis Sanchez, Sead Kolasinac and Matteo Guendouzi, with the long-haired star levelling the score from the spot near the half-time interval.Matteo Guendouzi scores from the spot to level for Olympic Marseille against Montpellier. 🌟 pic.twitter.com/idPi2yxwna— H/F (@hfworld_) March 31, 2023 And then, when Marseille’s coach Igor Tudor and the entire Velodrome stadium expected furious whites in the second half, nothing but blanks were fired.OM’s offence was clueless and lacked efficiency in the final third, so the points are split between the two, pushing PSG closer to defending the title.LIGUE 1 – ROUND 29FridayMarseille – Montpellier 1-1 (1-1)/Guendouzi 44 pen – Nordin 12/Saturday18:00: (1.95) Auxerre (3.50) Troyes (4.40)22:00: (2.45) Rennes (3.40) Lens (2.85)Sunday14:00: (1.45) Lille (4.70) Lorient (8.00)16:00: (6.50) Angers (3.80) Nice (1.58)16:00: (3.00) Brest (3.40) Toulouse (2.50)16:00: (2.20) Clermont (3.15) Ajaccio (3.60)16:00: (3.10) Nantes (3.30) Reims (2.50)18:05: (1.55) Monaco (4.00) Strasbourg (6.25)21:45: (1.45) PSG (4.40) Olympique Lyon (7.25)***odds are subject to change***
