Unstoppable Lyon lead the way as 5-star Eagles soar

Lyon extended their winning run to seven matches at the weekend as they overcame Nantes 2-0 on Saturday to improve their chances of a top-2 finish and retain their place at top spot in the team form rankings. Their WhoScored.com rating over the last six matches is a notable 7.38, with that better than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues. 

Bayern Munich kept their place in second, while Manchester City’s 4-1 win over West Ham saw them move up to third in the leaderboard. Crystal Palace soared up into fourth after a resounding 5-0 win over Leicester to effectively guarantee their Premier League spot for next season. WhoScored.com’s Premier League team of the month have gained a 7.14 rating over their last six matches. 

Hoffenheim and Real Madrid both dropped places in the form rankings, despite recent wins, with City and Palace leapfrogging the duo in the top-10. Lazio moved up to seventh in the table after a late 1-0 win at Torino to improve their chances of a top-4 finish in Serie A, with their WhoScored.com rating of commendable 7.07 over the last six matches. 

Barcelona remain in eighth spot, despite securing the La Liga title on Sunday, with their performances up to and including to the 4-2 victory over Deportivo leaving little to be desired. The Bluagrana, though, will take solace form their domestic success over the weekend and can look ahead to El Clasico and the opportunity to really inflict further damage on Real Madrid. 

Saint-Etienne has surged into the top-10 with a WhoScored.com rating of 7.04 over the last six matches. While impossible to finish in the top four, the French outfit can take comfort in their current 13-match unbeaten run, which has propelled them up the table. 

Rounding off the top 10 is Ligue 1 champions PSG, who have turned their attention to the Coupe de France final later this month. As such, their domestic form has dipped, with Unai Emery’s side struggling in a 1-0 win at Bordeaux and labouring to a 2-2 home draw with Guingamp last time out. Unless they buck up their ideas in their upcoming meeting with Amiens, it’s likely they will drop out of the top 10 altogether and considering they were top of the form rankings not too long ago, it highlights a significant dip in form, with their WhoScored.com rating an underwhelming 7.03 over the last six league matches.
