The people of Lille impress
Even at the foot of the wall, Jocelyn Gourvennec's men never give up. The proof is this Wednesday evening on the lawn of Matmut Atlantique facing the Girondins de Bordeaux in front at the break (2-1). Strong defensively, José Fonte and his teammates held the last 45 minutes without conceding a goal. Result, Yilmaz and David took the opportunity to switch the match in favor of the Northerners (3-2). A success that does LOSC good.
OGC Nice wins (finally) at home

After three consecutive defeats, Lemina and Kluivert allowed their teammates to end this series.
Led from the 30th minute, Nice was able to show character to completely change the scenario of this match (2-1).

Flops
Wahbi Khazri extinguishes
Seven games without any achievement for the Tunisian Wahbi Khazri. An additional match with the defeat after 90 minutes. Yet well in place throughout the meeting, Pascal Dupraz's men cracked in the money-time against ultra-realistic Nantes on their only shot on target in the second period. In the standings, nothing changes for the Greens, last with four points behind Lorient (19th) and Metz (18th).
Angers accuses the blow
Three defeats in the last four meetings in Ligue 1. It is the sad record of the month of December for Angevins yet well established in the first part of the table. Like the face shown in Montpellier this evening, Sofiane Boufal and his teammates cannot be effective and it pays off on the notice board. Four goals conceded and here is Angers in the second part of the standings (11th).
The Lyon attack at half mast
The supporters slip, the players stall. At Groupama Stadium, Lucas Paqueta and Moussa Dembélé failed to find the net against Messins who were very limited in terms of travel. However, Lyon's salvation came from young Lukeba before Lyon's defensive fragility was pointed out again. A draw that does not suit anyone and which sees Lyon stagnate in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1.
The Bordeaux defense (still) takes the water
43 goals conceded in 19 games.
The defensive gaps of the Girondins de Bordeaux are growing.
Thanks to an efficient Alberth Elis in attack (2 goals), Vladimir Petkovic's men knew that they had to be serious in defense.
This was not the case since after returning from the locker room, Bordeaux conceded two goals, including the victory for Lille.
Despite this defeat, Bordeaux will spend the holidays being outside the red zone.
