Ligue 1: Strasbourg revived, Toulouse and Rennes flounder... The tops/flops of the multiplex

TOPS

After 8 matches without a victory, Patrick Vieira's Strasbourg raised its head against Le Havre a week ago (2-1). And confirmed his newfound form on the Lorient lawn this Sunday (1-2). We only saw the Alsatians in the first period (7 shots to 1), and there is a reason why goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo emerged as the best Lorient player in the match. Despite three injuries during the match (Abakar Sylla, Thomas Delaine and Lebo Mothiba), and a slump around the hour mark, Racing controlled the end of the match to pocket three new points. Here he is 9th with eight points ahead of the first relegation, namely... Lorient.

When Téji Savanier goes, Montpellier goes. This was verified on the Metz lawn of Saint-Symphorien (0-1). Decisive passer from a corner for Maxime Estève (9th), the Hérault captain would have turned into a scorer from a free kick if Alexandre Oukidja had not flown in front of his top corner (31st). He was involved in all the battles in the middle (14 duels), in addition to being the offensive switchman and vocal leader that his team, which had not won in six matches, needed. Result of the races, the MHSC climbs to 12th place in Ligue 1 and gives itself some breathing room in the race to maintain itself.

FLOPS

Monday around 1 p.m., the 13th and 15th in L1 will know who they will face, following a draw, in the Europa League in two months. A disappointing ranking that Toulouse and Rennes thought they would get out of this Sunday. In vain (0-0). Julien Stephan's Bretons, generally dominated, relied on the eternal Steve Mandanda, whether at the feet of Thijs Dallinga (19th), in front of César Gelabert (23rd) or on a free kick from Vincent Sierro (76th). ). The TFC, still frustrated, has not won in the league for 9 matches and a reception from Metz on October 1 (3-0). He will be able to save his end of 2023 against Monaco on Wednesday (9 p.m.).

4 defeats in its last 5 matches: Lorient is doing badly, and its performance against Strasbourg (1-2), beyond the result, proved it. Whistled at half-time then at the end of the match by the Moustoir public, the Merlus waited until the 44th minute for their first shot, a harmless header from Bamba Dieng. The lack of Alsatian realism was their ray of hope, and the endless added time did not even benefit them. The pressure will increase in the coming days around Régis Le Bris. Lorient will spend the weekend as relegated, currently 17th with one point behind Lyon. The trip on Wednesday (9 p.m.) to Brest, 4th in the ranking, takes on the air of a mountain to reverse.
