French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

When it comes to the world of football Lionel Messi is something else to be compared to any player of our time with this unique character of his, even when he was playing at Barcelona, he's known for delivering Barcelona from losing or drawing matches, and taking some matches in his shoulder by turning things around in the die minutes time with his magical goals.

Everyone would be surprised if someone else scored Messi's goal against Toulouse. But Messi got us used to these goals so much that we are no longer surprised by him. He played very well in this match. We didn't even notice the absence of Neymar and Mbappe because of his good play. He is truly an outstanding football player. I think he is the best football player of all time. We are very lucky to be able to watch Messi. We should enjoy these pleasant moments. Also, we should open a parenthesis to Hakimi. He also played great in this match and scored a great goal. He scored his fourth goal this season. He is one of the key players for PSG.

Lens are the best team in League One. They are advancing day by day. They are struggling with teams like PSG. Defeating other teams. The Lens will become a much better team.

In as much as I admire what Lens is doing, I doubt they can keep it up after this season. We saw it with Lille and Monaco. For you to remain at that level as a top team you need to sign top players and Lens don't have the facilities for that.
Even this season, despites PSG's poor form they cant still climb top of the table because they lack a lot of things that the big teams have and that is the reason I admire them a lot. For them to be where they are with the kind of resources they have is something to be applauded.

Top players will not give you guarantee to win the title. I meant top players are not everything. The main thing to win the title must be chemistry that can be built between any players in the club. PSG may lead the competition with big gaps to the its competitors which is almost 10 points. The problem is there are not teams in french league that as rich as PSG. This competition is not so competitive compared with another league. PSG has lots of money while another club didn't have lots of money like that.
I would be glad if there were some clubs being acquired by billionaires or arabian consortium.

What someone learnt in the youthful age cannot be forgotten easily in the old age. In as much as Messi is still playing football he can always and he will always score wonderful goals.
Psg may likely seem that they are better than Bayern Munich for now but there is a spirit that comes with champions league and when that spirit comes the game will move to another level of vibration.

Yes, that's what we often see in competitions with a higher level. teams that don't look so good in the League can also do very well in the Champions League. they have an extraordinary motivation to perform better.
but in the case of PSG and Munich, I think it's different. these two are a strong team. whatever the current conditions, I believe both of them will still show their best playing quality.
Munich lost a goalkeeper and PSG lost a striker. the fight will still be fine I think, and will still be fun.

There is no doubt we have domestic leagues and Champions League having completely different environment and strategy and game plans are also different many times while teams are not performing good in their domestic league having good change for this league and perform extraordinary but here no things are completely changed, and we can expect good performance from PSG while they are playing in Ligue 1 they have two good wins with doing score by their star players even Neymar and Mbappé both are injured, but positive results are coming, but they still need some work in their defense which is not performing as it needs to be done for this big game.

Bayern Munich is surely having trouble with their attack is also not effective even in German Cup they have new player and it works but now still few days and challenge is tough for them to face team like PSG.

today we have a lot of games, but I'm just going to comment on the games I placed bets on:

Clermont Foot - AS Monaco FC

I bet on Monaco who are winning at the moment, they managed to score 2 goals, but as it is already known that Monaco has serious problems in the defense so the safest thing is to wait until the end of the game that we will see with 100% if they won or no. I have some hope that they can come out of this game with a victory, I hope I am right on my bet, Clermont is a team that should not be underestimated, because they come into this game with a sequence of 5 games without losing, that's why monaco needs to be very careful

This match was over congrats and there were no other goals from the both of them, Monaco successfully brought three points from Clermont Foot home, now Monaco have a got 44 points for a while.

FC Lorient - Angers SCO

without a doubt this is a very important game for Angers that they need to win to leave the relegation zone, but I bet on FC Lorient, they have had mixed results in the last few games, with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, but for what I could see they are a team that manages to score goals, while their opponent Angers comes into this game with a sequence of 5 games without winning and without getting at least 1 point, they are going through a bad moment

Currently Lorient is having a hard to getting a score in this match, Angers seems to be able a better in defend. The match has been running 75 minutes, and Lorient a bit dominated that match there is a possibility that Lorient will score the first of goal. Anyway, this is at home of Lorient, they shouldn't be losing in this match.

[Docnaster]

PSG - Toulouse was a really scary game actually. Because this was another game PSG struggled to get a win comfortably.

Messi was the only member of the attacking trio on the field today. But he still took responsibility and scored a goal. Neymar and Mbappe's absence was still felt during the game. They could have done much better than this. The first half was more like one-sided but Toulouse also started to be effective in the second half. Thankfully Hakimi was there to be the hero for his team. With his one goal and assist each performance, PSG took the win there. However, they are still in trouble seemingly considering especially the Champions League.

Despite his advancing age, Messi's quality is still very high, although there are too many missing players in the team, he scored in this match as well and helped the team get 3 points. I think we will watch a great game in the game against Bayern, both teams are among the best teams of this year. I hope that the deficiencies in the teams will be corrected and we will see both teams on the field as a full squad.
It's sure to be an incredible fight

It would have been worst if Lionel Messi was the one missing in the match against Toulouse. We could see how unyielding the PsG attack was when Messi was yet to return from the world cup break. I see Messi has a special kind of Character in every Match, His career is backed and grounded on inborn talent, and that's the reason why age will only take little or nothing from his performance. Mesi indeed proved his worth in the Match against Toulouse.

I don't see any disruption in Lionel Messi's performance so far. He is impeccable, unique he is a living legend which he has proved time and again. Despite the absence of Neymar and Mbappe, Lionel Messi gave PSG a great victory.

[tulusikhlas]

No one really knows when the PSG team will perform well in the Champions League. PSG's performance in the Champions League is lacking and other smaller teams are ahead of them in terms of performance. Personally so far I think PSG is the best club for Ligue 1.

there is no certainty about that, but if you look at the players that the PSG team has, of course the quality of the players is not in doubt, but in terms of their current performance in League 1 it seems that this team still lacks even though they are still on the winning track, but the opponents they are facing in league of course the quality is far below them.

To prove PSG's performance on the Champions League stage, we will see later against Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

It is very difficult indeed to compare Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, because the quality of the opponents is really unbalanced. They are good in Ligue 1 because they hardly have a team on par with them. But when talking about the Champions League, the teams there are more suitable to be used as a benchmark whether they have performed well or not.
In fact the players they have now also do not guarantee great success in the Champions League.

messi has natural talent and without him PSG's game really isn't that good but in the last game against toulouse, Hakimi is a man of the mach, he's really a brilliant player

lens vs brest has entered half-time and the score is still 0-0, it seems that lens is having a hard time breaking through the brest defense

[herurist]

today we have a lot of games, but I'm just going to comment on the games I placed bets on:

Clermont Foot - AS Monaco FC


FC Lorient - Angers SCO

At least for these 2 matches you did the same as I did. Monaco is now done and it's an easy win in my opinion and of course the odds are favorable.
But indeed for Lorient we failed at the bet. They still can't make the performance as before and the statistics of their last 5 matches have made Lorient now thrown into 7th position.

[rendravolt]

He also played great in this match and scored a great goal. He scored his fourth goal this season. He is one of the key players for PSG.

We are used to seeing the goals scored by Messi against Toulouse when he was still in Barcelona uniform. How genius Messi netted a goal on the narrow left side of the goal with a touch of plessing would make it difficult for any goalkeeper to ward off the kick. Regarding Hakimi, he has indeed been one of the keys to PSG's victory in the last few matches. He is a right-back and often attacks at points that the opposing defense does not know.

Messi's goal was really great. There was not even a full goal opportunity yet, but even half a goal opportunity was enough to score a goal for Messi. Yes, Messi was great in the Toulouse game, but I think Messi is sometimes alone in Paris Saint-Germain. He stays alone on the field in some positions. If Paris Saint-Germain had a few more players who could play in harmony with Messi, they could have won the league more comfortably this season. I'm not saying Neymar and Mbappe are bad players. I think their harmonies with Messi are a bit inadequate.

Yes, we have often seen Lionel Messi create extraordinary goals even when in a difficult and disadvantageous position. The goals created by Lionel Messi also locked in the victory won by Paris Saint Germain and made their point difference widen again, at least until we know the result of the Marseille match which will face the Nice team this week.

[CLS63]

Lens have lost a lot of momentum recently. There was another point loss for them today against Brest this time. Brest aren't a team that can steal any point from Lens while Lens are having a good season normally. But Lens must have lost their concentration these days. Actually they were quite dominant in this match but couldn't show it in the score. They have only one win in their last five matches which has helped Marseille a lot.

Marseille are quite likely to make the point gap with Lens three tonight. They have a home match against Nice. Nice are also one of the in-form teams recently but I have big doubts they can deal with Marseille's attacking strength. Marseille should be winning this.

Currently PSG is 8 points away from Marseille, at least that is far enough for Marseille to continue pursuing PSG this season. The Marseille vs Nice match will start in about 35 minutes, statistically the head to head Marseille is very superior to Nice and it is likely that this match will belong to Marseille to secure their 3 points at home.

I think their harmonies with Messi are a bit inadequate.

To be honest, in this match the 3 goals that were scored (1 for Toulouse and 2 for PSG) were actually very brilliant goals in my opinion.
How could I not, 1 goal from a free kick was really very good on the other hand Hakimi and Messi's kicks from outside the penalty box were also very brilliant.
But indeed with this result Toulouse must be willing to break good conditions for them at the hands of PSG.

[hahay]

I hope Marseille has a good chance of making the title race even tougher, because Lens haven't been able to keep up the good results recently. So that Lens' position was taken by Marseille, who is currently playing against Nice, even though Nice is not an easy opponent, I hope that Marseille will still be able to get three points in this match.
Because of course catching up with PSG will be difficult if Marseille cannot consistently win in every match, at least so that PSG will get a tough fight to win the title.

Right now, Lens is second top team which is having the worst time after having amazing start of this season now struggling badly and have chance to go down with their poor run as we have Lorient which was at the three ranks and now having 7th rank with their last few poor matches same results and performance level is also with Lens which is now having just five points from their last five games and can drop out of the top five spots.

Next week we have few interesting matches as Lyon vs Lens and the Monaco vs PSG which will surely going to bring good changes in league table and this could be beneficial in case of Monaco will hold leaders PSG because this will cut the points gape, and they will be able to have better response for staying closer to leaders for title race.

[Pulsar77]

Monaco had a quite comfortable match against Clermont and defeated them by 2-0 at the end. The first half was fully under their control and they scored two goals in the first 15 minutes already. This was enough for Monaco to weaken their opponent early. The score would have been bigger if they didn't waste many more opportunities. The second half was a chance for Clermont as Monaco started to be complacent. But they weren't good at finishing despite finding opportunities to score.

With this win Monaco have increased their unbeaten series to seven matches in the Ligue 1. They are also likely to get past Lens in the standings soon.

[KTChampions]

I hope Marseille has a good chance of making the title race even tougher, because Lens haven't been able to keep up the good results recently. So that Lens' position was taken by Marseille, who is currently playing against Nice, even though Nice is not an easy opponent, I hope that Marseille will still be able to get three points in this match.
Because of course catching up with PSG will be difficult if Marseille cannot consistently win in every match, at least so that PSG will get a tough fight to win the title.

I don't think it makes any sense to hope for an intensification of the fight for the title, given the fact that any team other than PSG cannot churn out victories without problems. Look at the game quotes (and this is Marseille playing against an average team at home):

1.93 - 3.05 - 4.40

The bookmakers give an incredibly generous 1.93 (assuming Marseille is really strong), but I guess I fold   

[SirLancelot]

At least for these 2 matches you did the same as I did. Monaco is now done and it's an easy win in my opinion and of course the odds are favorable.
But indeed for Lorient we failed at the bet. They still can't make the performance as before and the statistics of their last 5 matches have made Lorient now thrown into 7th position.

Lorient is surely having one of the worst time as once they were fighting hard for the top three ranks and now down to seventh with their performance which is on decline and in last five games they have five points with just one win and their defense issue is surely hurting them badly which is surely needs to fix otherwise they can go down and having spot out of the top ten is surely not good for them after having ideal start of this season and good results in first half of this season.

In today match many hopes on them as they are going to play against bottom rank team, and they will try to take good advantage of this but still fail and having goalless draw mean they are falling down and have no fair chance to fight back for the next few weeks as well.
