French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[skarais]

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.

I might have said that Lens and Marseille won't really be strong enough to keep PSG close until the end of the season.
It is evident that Lens and Marseille have lost a lot of momentum to consistently get full points in every match. They dropped points in some easy games and that has made their rivalry with PSG even more difficult to hope for. Lens and Marseille have gained 8 points difference with PSG who performed brilliantly in the previous match against Toulouse, Messi answered the doubts of many parties by bringing his team to win the match and also scored goals.

Even though PSG are not reinforced by Neymar and Mbappe, I think Messi and several other good players can help PSG perform optimally to win. Only total defensive strategy will make it difficult for PSG to score goals, while if the Ligue 1 teams both appear brave to attack then PSG will likely use that to win. About Messi, he has scored 10 goals and 10 assists in 18 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, he has had his best form this season at PSG but he is not the main actor there.

It looks funny to me that any time a team is doing a perfect run like winning more than 5 consecutive games like Marseille was doing and it got them to the second place on the standings and when everybody expects them to continue this good run they go and lose right now in the first half of the game 0-2 against Nice.I hope they turn things around as usually when playing at home they have won against Nice and this win is needed just to give fans that glimpse of hope that the Ligue 1 is not over yet.

Nice's performance this season has been average. Nobody thought that Marseille would stumble like this against such a team. Basically behind in the semi-finals after Marseille. They scored their first goal in the 38th minute and conceded another goal in the 44th minute. Marseille stepped up their attack in the second half. But due to being behind by two goals, they could not return to the truck. And ended up losing 3-1 to Marseille. If Marseille could get 3 points in this match, they would be only 5 points behind PSG. Marseille missed the chance.

Nice has been outperforming marseille. Marseille must be working even harder to wake up again. The lose against nice has been making the gap the PSG become even bigger. 3-1 was the final result of the match. I think that there shall be some evaluations of the marseille team.
Marseille has more ball possessions but it was still lack in maximizing the chance to make the goals while nice was able to convert some chances into three goals. It seems so difficult for marseille to be even closer with PSG.
PSG is not leading the standing with 8 points gap to the marseille. Poor marseille.

Hopefully the two clubs that will compete will be able to give their best performance, because I can honestly say I'm worried that one of these two clubs will have unexpected problems. Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich are unmistakably strong clubs in the Champions League, they are even predicted to be the favorite of the other favorites in the last 16.
I believe the motivation of these two clubs is very big, moreover they really want to win in order to advance to the next round in the Champions League this season. We will witness a very hot match.

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.

it's not something strange when saying PSG is the best club in Ligue 1 in terms of players it's already visible so it doesn't even need to be mentioned we know about it.
For the condition of the Champions League now they are having problems. It is certain that PSG will not be strengthened by Mbappe when they compete in the last 16 due to the thigh injury he suffered when facing Montpellier in the continuation of Ligue 1.
Now with conditions like this it is clear that it will make it more difficult for PSG and I think it is getting very thin in terms of hope there.

I agree that PSG would suffer greatly without Mbappe, but I think they can still win with Messi on the roster. Messi is perhaps the best player of all time, and just having him on the team can instill a fresh sense of optimism and determination in the group. Just by dribbling, being creative, and scoring goals, he can completely alter the course of a game.

Several other quality players on PSG's roster, in my opinion, can easily step up and fill the vacuum left by Mbappe. PSG still has a chance to advance far into the Champions League playoffs with the correct strategies and team spirit. Honestly, they are desperate for the Champion League title. As a matter of fact, I think that difficult situations like this may help a team grow and develop in unexpected ways. Let's see what this year's PSG team can do with great expectations.

PSG's match against Toulouse showed how weak they could be without Mbappe and Neymar. They struggle to win that match. It is important to note that the main target of the club is to lift the UEFA Champions League and playing their next match without Mbappe is very risky because he is the club's hitman.

Although Bayern Munich is not in good form, they have won just two of their last five games. But we know how experienced the Bavarians are in the champions league. PSG should just get a good result in the first leg In France and hope Mbappe will be fit for the return leg in Germany. I also think it is time that PSG start building a team that will not rely solely on Mbappe, Neymar and Messi because nobody can predict the future. New player should be groomed and used sometimes to replace them.

Unquestionably, Leo Messi is the PSG GOAT. When things are bad, especially when there is a tie on the field, he is always ready to save his team. Leo Messi and Hakimi both fired shots from outside the box to demonstrate that Toulouse wasn't a formidable opponent for the Parisians at Parc des Princes, which may have been what ultimately went wrong for the visitors. Toulouse was ahead by a goal. The crucial regions that significantly impacted the game will see improvements thanks to Christopher Galtier.

The problem is when we see PSG play without one of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe they always have trouble.
There have been many examples that we can see in this regard, especially after the world cup break some time ago. It's very difficult for them to score points when one of their core players and backbone is missing from the squad.
And now with the condition that Mbappe has lost in the Champions League, even though he can still be replaced by several other players, this is still a real loss.

This is what is bound to happen, even though we also know that for Bayern now they are not experiencing good enough performance because they have always achieved unsatisfactory results in the last few matches and Mane is still not fully recovered but in terms of experience they won against PSG and in terms of strength as well now maybe it could be something troublesome for PSG. At least with this, Bayern's chances are even greater to qualify for the next phase.

Let's wait until this match is held between Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich. And we will see which team is more promising and able to play better. Talking about the status of these two teams at the domestic level I think we already know that they are very strong teams, but that is at the domestic level and it is very different to the European level like the Champions League like this. Not only skill and ability but mentality will also speak in a match like this.

discussing whether PSG will lose against Bayern in the UCL later, it looks like there is still a chance, because Bayern will definitely learn what made Lens and Rennes win over PSG some time ago. but Galtier must have thought about this, he will continue to improve the gaps that are likely to be PSG's weaknesses, against Toulouse, PSG conceded 1 goal in 20 minutes, a weakness like that must be fixed by Galtier.

[rendravolt]

It was unexpected that the Marseille vs Nice match would end with a score of 1-3 for Nice to win. This result also made Marseille fail to secure 3 points at home and included failing to shorten the distance from PSG at the top of the standings. Actually the two teams are equally strong, but it looks like Nice can maximize the opportunities that exist and turn things into wins in their away matches.

[Gosgosking]

Is it possible for any team to have these 3 big players and not depend on them. Any legend that is in any club the club will definitely depend on him. Reasons why PSG signed in these 3 players is to help the team win trophies and nothing much. The team will only not depend on them only if they are no longer in the club.

Of course they failed to shorten the distance. Four losses in Ligue1 during the season. Marseille were not bad but they failed to create chances and finishes. Nice played better despite not having the ball, they made 8 shots on goal while Marseille 5 times.
But I'm glad this defeat made their gap with PSG even further. Of course PSG are getting more comfortable, but there are still plenty of games left before the season ends. But I think PSG are still favourites to win this season.

[herurist]

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.

3 matches that have not gone well in the last 5 matches have made it even more difficult for them now.
This condition is clearly not very profitable for Lorient who are very good at the start of the season, with the current conditions it is clear that they seem to be away and make it more difficult for them if indeed their target is to be in the Europa League or Champions League.

We still often see this in Ligue 1, yes, teams that are chasing Paris Saint Germain always miss opportunities when they get the chance to reduce the distance from Paris Saint Germain. If the gap has widened it will be very difficult for them to get a good moment like this, because waiting for Paris Saint Germain to decline again, in my opinion, is very difficult in Ligue 1 with such a luxurious composition of their players.

Marseille had very bad luck in this match so they lost. Its performance in Marseille was good. But every attack by Nice's players was planned and organized. Nice were very tactical in this match. A total of 14 shots were taken by Nice players, and 8 of them were on target. On the other hand, Marseille did more attacks. They had 22 shots, but only 4 were on target. In Marseille it should have kept the defense tight and then tried to attack. Then maybe they wouldn't have conceded 3 goals.

[hahay]

Lol, it's not easy to be a title contender in Ligue 1, and only PSG have the ability to stay at the top of the Ligue 1 standings for the whole season at this moment. Because after Lens, who eventually lost his consistency to continue to threaten PSG's position, was replaced by Marseille but what happened was still difficult.

Playing at home against Nice I thought Marseille would be able to get full points or at least get points from a draw result, but what happened was that Marseille lost at home with a score of 1-3.

You are so correct, Lens were very close to psg, but then they drew to Troyes and lost to Nice, and yesterday they drew again to Brest, i think that would make it three matches now that Lens haven't won, if they had won these three games they would have been just one point behind psg. Marseille also lost to Nice yesterday, so now the two teams: Marseille and Lens that would have reduced the distance to psg are now on 46 points each, and are 8 points behind psg. Psg are going to win the league because of lack of consistency from the clubs that were so close to them.

I don't agree with you, Marseille doesn't play very well when compared to Nice, if we look at the course of the match, the effectiveness of the Marseille attack is very low compared to Nice, out of 8 shots on target that were made nice, 3 were goals while Marseille only have 1 goal from the 5 shots on target they got.

It's a shame I missed this one match, in the end Marseille had to lose after going 8 matches without defeat in all competitions. unfortunately, Marseille fell at home to host Nice. but if I look at the statistics, the two teams played quite a draw even though Marseille had more chances. unfortunately, they were unable to maintain their consistency to stick tightly to PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

In fact, Igor Tudor as a coach said that Marseille's defeat to Nice was due to his mistake. despite failing to pick up any points at home, Igor Tudor was full of respect for the efforts of his players and said the result was not the product of the mistakes of his squad, but because of the system he wanted them to play. Meanwhile, Nice bagged three points after beating Marseille. Didier Digard's troop squad, is on a positive trend winning 4 of their 5 matches without defeat.
