Paris (AFP)

The Lille leader, shaken by the current owner change process, kept his serenity on the pitch, going to beat Dijon (2-0) on Wednesday, at the start of the 15th day marked by the return to form of Nice.

"We should not be worried about the future. We have a quality workforce, determined players," assured northern coach Christophe Galtier, at the microphone of Téléfoot, before kick-off.

His team is on the same page.

In Burgundy, it left no chance for the red lantern.

The opening of the quick score by Yusuf Yazici (19th), for his fifth goal of the season in L1, put the Mastiffs in a chair, who doubled the bet by Timothy Weah, with a superb end (90th + 3) .

Lille will arrive thus launched against Paris SG which it receives on Sunday in a shock which will be revealing of its capacity to be able to play the title this season.

By this summit, the club could have changed president.

On Wednesday afternoon, Gérard Lopez confirmed having received an offer to buy back an investment fund domiciled in Luxembourg.

If the change in shareholding is finalized, Olivier Létang is expected to take over the reins, according to the daily L'Equipe.

- Metz surprises Montpellier -

The former Rennes manager will find a team in a very good sporting situation.

Indeed, Losc has three points ahead of Lyon (2nd), four over PSG (3rd) and five over Marseille (5th, two matches less).

But the three teams can come together in the evening (9:00 p.m.), respectively opposed to Brest, Lorient and Rennes.

Montpellier (5th, 26 pts) is not far from the leading car.

But the Héraultais let slip precious points against Metz (2-0), who won thanks to a penalty from Aaron Leya Iseka (50th) and a counter concluded by Habib Maïga (90th).

The Mosellans (11th, 20 pts) pocket their first success since November 1.

Nice (12th, 19 pts), too, hadn't won since that day.

Despite the expulsion of Morgan Schneiderlin (56th), the Aiglons made the difference in Nîmes (2-0), by Dan Ndoye (85th) and Alexis Claude-Maurice (90th + 4).

Coach Adrian Ursea, who took over from Patrick Viera on December 3, unlocks his victory counter.

At the bottom of the table, Reims and Strasbourg performed well, with victories against Nantes (3-2) and Angers (2-0).

The Champenois (15th, 13 pts) leave the relegation zone, where Nîmes (19th, 11 pts) sinks after a fourth consecutive setback.
