Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Marseille lead the Ligue 1 standings as of the end of the first round of matches, but there is still plenty of competition to keep things interesting.

At the top of the table, PSG have already won all three of their games so far this season, scoring 9 goals and conceding just one. Their only defeat came in a dramatic 2-1 loss to Olympique Lyonnais in midweek. PSG's strength lies in their attacking play, with forwards Kylian Mbappe and Neymar leading the way with 4 and 3 goals respectively. The team has also shown good defensive solidity, keeping six clean sheets.

Marseille, on the other hand, have also had a strong start to the season. They have won two of their three matches and have conceded just one goal so far. Key players such as Dimitri Payet and Florian Thauvin have been instrumental in their success, while the defence has also played well enough to limit opposition attacks.

However, there is still plenty of competition for the top spots in Ligue 1. Lille, who were previously struggling, have improved dramatically under new manager Rudi Garcia and are now just four points behind leaders PSG. They have won their last two matches and will be looking to build on that form against weaker opposition next week.

There is also fierce competition between the big clubs, with Monaco, Lyon and Nice all within striking distance of the top spot. All these teams have shown they can compete with the big boys and could cause some upsets if given the chance.

Overall, it looks like Ligue 1 will be a closely fought battle right until the final whistle. With so many teams capable of causing upsets, there is sure to be plenty of excitement and drama over the coming weeks and months.
