As the second half of the 2021-22 season approaches, two teams from France's top division – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Lens – have been closing in on Marseille. The two sides currently sit in fourth place and fifth place respectively, but they have both been performing well in recent weeks.

At the top of the table is PSG, who have won five out of their last six games and are unbeaten since November. Their form has seen them move within touching distance of league leaders Rennes, who have also had a strong campaign so far.

On the other hand, Lens have been performing admirably too, having won four out of their last five matches and sitting just three points behind PSG. They have been particularly impressive in front of goal, scoring eight goals in their last three games.

Despite this, Marseille remain in third place, despite some poor performances in recent weeks. However, they still have plenty to play for, as they are currently in a playoff position and will need to win more games if they want to make it through to next season's Europa League.

Overall, the race for the top spot in Ligue 1 is heating up, with all three teams closely competing for the title. It remains to be seen how the remaining fixtures will shape up, but one thing is certain: this season is shaping up to be a fascinating and competitive one.
