The league leaders may want to be wary of their players due to the heavy activity they will be facing in a few days. Will this open the way for Nice's surprise?

The 2021-22 season in the French top-flight continues with an interesting combination of games that will see some of the league leaders battling against each other, and those teams trying to avoid relegation doing the same thing in quite a curious set of matches.

Up to this point in the season, PSG can afford to lose five games in a row and still keep their lead at the top, but that does not mean that Pochettino's men will not put up a fight when they face Nice away from home this weekend. Christoph Galtier's men have been quite consistent this season and they were considered title contenders a couple of weeks ago. Hence, this will be an interesting game to watch with an eager home team trying to leave a lasting impression and an away team that could give way for some of their regular subs a chance to shine here.

Elsewhere in the league, Monaco and Olympique Marseille will play one of the must-watch games of the weekend, with L'OM trying to keep their second place intact and Monaco ready to battle for a spot among the top five. Phillippe Clement's team has gone three games without a win ahead of this clash, but the match against Marseille seems like the proper opportunity to give them a boost for the final ten weeks of the competition.

Let's have a look at how things look like in the French top-flight ahead of a busy but entertaining weekend.

Top five teams in Ligue 1 ahead of Matchday 27

PSG make it to this weekend with a commanding 15-point lead over Marseille. The league leaders will clash against Nice this Saturday in what should be an interesting game and quite a crucial one, as Nice are only one point behind the runners-up in the title race. Rennes and Strasbourg are level with 43 points, but Rennes' superior goal difference gives them an edge in the race to finish fourth in the French top-flight.
