In Ligue 1, the Monaco team is performing exceptionally better than the comparable PSG. The team has improved tremendously this season from last season. Hopefully the team will be in a good position in League One.
I still have doubts about the consistency of the Monaco team even though the Monaco team is currently ranked first in the Ligue1 standings. Because several other teams in the UCL zone are also not far behind Monaco, so there is a possibility and opportunity for them to overtake Monaco who is currently in first place in several further matches in Ligue1. So I think there is no need to judge the team's performance too early because there are many matches left in this season and there is still an opportunity for other teams to perform better than Monaco.
Yes, even though Monaco is at the top of the Ligue 1 standings at this moment, but the reality is that so far this season, Monaco has not played against other top teams in Ligue 1. So yes, there is still no guarantee for Monaco to remain at the top of the Ligue 1 standings throughout this season. But maybe, because this season Monaco is only focused on Ligue 1 because last season Monaco only finished in 6th position which is not included in getting a European ticket. Therefore, it is possible that Monaco will get better focus to be able to maintain its consistency this season only in Ligue 1.
I think Monaco will definitely find some trouble when they will be facing tough opponents in future in the season. And to be honest so far, they have not done anything extraordinary as well. They might be at the first position of the table. But they actually have not done something that was unexpected. If anything, they should have done better because just like you said, they have not faced big opponents so far.
I am actually a little surprised about the performance from Brest. Brest is not a team that we expect to see at the top of the table. But they certainly have done decent enough so far. Let’s see if they can continue performing like this. Personally, I don’t think they will be able to perform consistently.
But I do expect PSG to improve their performance. This is not what we expect from them. They have to do much better compared to what they have been doing so far.
