Paris and Marseille have both had close calls in recent matches, with the former coming up short while the latter slipping back down to fourth place.
In the case of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), they were unable to secure a win against Lyon at home, leaving them just one point behind their rivals. The loss was particularly disappointing for PSG, who have been in excellent form recently, having won their last four league games. However, their opponents were able to take advantage of their poor form and put them under pressure throughout the match.
Meanwhile, Marseille's slide down the table continues, as they lost to Lille despite being the dominant team for much of the game. The defeat leaves them just three points clear of the relegation zone, and manager Rudi Garcia has already warned that it could be the end of his time at the club.
The two teams have been in similar positions before, but this is a worrying sign for both clubs. PSG need to start winning if they want to stay in contention for the title, while Marseille will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if they want to avoid relegation.
Overall, it seems that both teams will need to work hard to turn their fortunes around, and there may not be many more chances for them to do so. It remains to be seen whether either can make a comeback and challenge for the top spots in the coming weeks, or whether they will slip further down the table.
