Play all three Sunday meetings in France. In the first one, "Nice" welcomed "Saint-Etienne" at home. Looking at the situation in the tournament table, the hosts had to demonstrate a significant advantage, but they struggled to create opportunities, and their attacking leader Mario Balotelli only stood out with a yellow card. Nevertheless, a fantastic goal from a penalty kick was scored by Wylan Cyprien, who did not let the fans gathered in the stadium get bored at least in the middle of the first half. Later, they had to wait for Lucien Favre's students to maintain their advantage. After another victory, "Nice" equaled with "Nantes" occupying the fifth place, which yesterday lost to "Bordeaux", while "Saint-Etienne" found themselves at the brink of the relegation zone. A little later, the defending champions "Monaco" seized the chance to return to the path of victories, defeating "Metz", who were in 20th place. Leonardo Jardim's students here moved forward after defender Jorge's goal broke out just at the end of the first half, but just at the beginning of the second half, the away team's goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima earned a red card for a foul against Adam Diakhaby. Then in the 67th minute, Rachid Ghezzal managed to double the lead for the "Monaco" and it seemed that everything was over, but Ibrahim Niane briefly revived the intrigue. However, it disappeared when Rony Lopes scored. "Monaco" had jumped to the third position, which they had to give up after the last round of matches. In the central weekend clash, "Lyon" players at home posed a serious challenge to the leader "Paris Saint-Germain". Bruno Genesio's students took the lead with an excellent penalty kick by Nabil Fekir in the first moments, and even though Neymar was absent from the opponents' team due to injury, Kylian Mbappe also had to leave the field due to injury. However, PSG managed to equalize the score even without their most expensive purchases - Layvin Kurzawa scored just before the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, the guests' matters were ruined by another full-back Dani Alves, whose foul against Tanguy Ndombele resulted in expulsion from the field. However, the Parisians managed to fight well without him and resisted until the very last moments of the match. Nevertheless, they lacked another minute, because just in the last minute, Memphis Depay expanded the victory for the hosts with a distant shot. This victory is very important for the "Lyon" team, as they have retained the second place. In addition, the gap between them and PSG has now been reduced to eight points.
