French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[lizarder]

Yes what PSG is missing is a fast and smart striker on the side, it is not complete without him. But the next match in the League I think maybe PSG are still capable of at least a draw, but the UCL is more important for them. If Mbappe still can't play I will be very worried that PSG missed a lot of good opportunity against Bayern, although Bayern is also not very good at the moment in the bundesliga but their defense is very strong.

This trio owned by PSG is indeed very complete when playing together, so that it gave birth to a lot of creativity from Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, on the 22nd Metcday they lost to Marseille and Mbappe did not play in that match, fortunately they had Gianluigi Donnarumma who played quite well, thus making six saves. Otherwise, PSG will definitely accept a more than 2-1 defeat to Marseille. The next match will be away at Monaco headquarters and it will be a difficult game without Mbappe for PSG.

It seems that for the Champions League Mbappe can play, because the medical team predicts that they will only suffer minor injuries, so they are not too worried about this match. It's precisely what worries me against Monaco, because if PSG lose on points they will be even closer to Marseille, although the standings are still not threatened for that game.

Next match of PSG will be against Monaco which is not that important for them and they may not play with usual and important players or at least not the whole match, Even that PSG has better results playing on exterior than home i wouldn’t be surprised losing next match as well.
They will focus on UCL with all the bad news they got lately but nothing is certain till now Messi also got an injury beside Mbappé who is less likely to participate. That why the odds are in Bayern favor

Nice will play at home against a promoted team currently in the relegation zone AC Ajaccio, although Nice is not too easy to win when Nice is playing at home. But for now, I personally fully trust Nice to be able to beat AC Ajaccio.

Also, even if Nice gets a win in this match it won't make Nice into the top five but at least, Nice can strengthen its position in the top ten. Also, with the current odds for Nice at around @1.57, then I think those are also good odds for the predicted team to win.

Their difference is very significant, just look at the statistics for their last 5 matches, Nice won 4 times, while Ajaccio lost 4 times, that's really a very visible difference. Even though Nice's likely win won't get them into the top 5, it will nevertheless be crucial to keeping their hopes on track for that spot. I have no doubts Nice can win this week.

Match between Monaco and psg, despite the good record that PSG have over monaco we won't also dispute the fact that recently Monaco has been in their peak, in this game between this two rivals more goals is much expect with both team to score, we all know that several meetings between the two has produced goals and psg being victorious but this time the outcome is not really known hence Monaco is playing host anything is possible here considering the home team recent form.

That wasn’t my expectations at all since PSG has Messi and Neymar i thought they will do just as great with or without the presence of Mbappé but i was wrong after the match against Olympique Marseille i have seen what PSG is missing! A fast and smart attacker to find solutions from the left side. Neymar wasn’t enough for that mission and Messi was covered well by OM defense which was so enough to take them off from Coupe de France.
The coming matches for PSG they should look for a solution and i don’t know if Mbappé will come back for Champions League against Bayern Munich or it going to be so hard for them

For Ligue 1, in this case I don't think it will make it serious because the quality of the other players is actually still able to maintain points there.
But of course the UCL is something different because indeed with their current condition it is clear that the hopes are getting smaller regardless of anything they are not the favorites when there are Messi and Mbappe and now they are not there and will not play it is clear that Bayern are the favorites.

The importance of Monaco vs PSG is huge this week. With a match like this, the other teams in the championship race will not want to lose points. Especially marseille and lens will play this week and it's in their best interest to avoid losing points. Marseille will play away against Clermont. It is not an easy game for them but they have to win. Lens also have a difficult job. The team that will face Lyon away has to get out of this away without losing points.

That's a really important match. As monaco can be considered as a weak team. This club is almost equal to PSG. Monaco is as strong as PSG. Monaco is also having the same head to head against PSG too.

Monaco won 7 matches as well as PSG, Draw happened 9 times for Monaco vs PSG. This is a very difficult match for PSG for sure. Im not sure PSG will be winning the game to play without mbappe.

Marseille shall not lose more points against clermont. Clermont is actually a weak team but the problem is marseille was losing in the last match against Nice.

The balance of the PSG team is a bit off. I think PSG has created problems with too many stars in the team. PSG is failing to produce good results in important matches. It is not possible to achieve anything good for the team in this way.

Paris Saint-Germain still looks consistent in keeping a safe distance from its rivals in the French 1st League, there is an 8 point difference from Marseille in second place
PSG's important remaining match at the moment is the Champions League, and it hasn't start
So which important match failed to come to good result for Paris Saint-Germain?

[LGD2Business]

Monaco - PSG match to be played tomorrow will be one of the important matches in the league. PSG lost morale by losing in their last cup match. On weekdays, they will play a Champions League match with Bayern München. The fact that the league match to be played between these two matches is one of the strongest teams in the league like Monaco creates a difficult fixture for them. If Monaco wins this game, other teams will be hopeful. PSG is in a comfortable position 8 points ahead of its closest rival, but if the point gap drops to 5, a little more excitement will come to the league. I think the players of both teams know the importance of this match. I expect it to be a very competitive match. I'm not making a side bet on this game.

Nice will play at home against a promoted team currently in the relegation zone AC Ajaccio, although Nice is not too easy to win when Nice is playing at home. But for now, I personally fully trust Nice to be able to beat AC Ajaccio.

Nice should be winning this game with a goal average of two, they are the better side, winning the game is what they should be looking out for even if is not going to take them into the top four or five, but I think is a step at a time, if they really want to be in that top four or five and they should take every opportunity they see and this game tonight is an opportunity for them to collect three points and to move further, looking at the their past meeting Nice has won more, Ajaccio have only won two them  twice. Is a straight win for Nice.

I don't think PSG's loss against Marseille in the Coupe de France was unexpected. I indicated it before the match started as well. Marseille really had an opportunity ahead to eliminate the toughest rival in the tournament and they took it. I really appreciated Marseille's solid effort in that match and I believe it was a well-deserved win. Neymar - Messi duo couldn't play exactly in the way they wanted. If this duo were more productive then maybe the result would have been different.

Now we see there is a Monaco v PSG match in the league this time. The winning odds are nearly the same - 2.68 to 2.64. I even see Monaco being favourite by a slight margin on some websites. The odds made me a little surprised though so I'll go on with both teams to score instead.

Yes, it's quite strange to see such odds of PSG against the 4th team of France. Even with injuries to Mbappe and Messi, PSG should be the clear favorite. It may be assumed that PSG will put up a reserve squad for this game in general, as it will save energy before the game with Bayern. It is quite logical since nothing threatens the position of PSG in the championship.

I think if Lionel Messi had gone to another club instead of PSG, his football career would have gone much further by now. Because I think Lionel Messi could never show his best in PSG. Lionel Messi leaving PSG and joining other clubs is really the demand of time.

Marseille might have their second chance to close the point gap with PSG again this week. Because while they are playing against Clermont, PSG are going to be playing a tough away match against Monaco. Monaco have been one of the problem teams for PSG for a long time. Especially the matches in Monaco have been even more difficult. It isn't all about the strength difference between these teams in the end. We saw how PSG lost to Lens and Rennes both in away matches recently.

Monaco also have the capacity to defeat PSG now. Their being in good shape would also help them become a big trouble for PSG. In Mbappe's absence PSG will be a little weaker. Maybe I might bet on Monaco and see how things go.

Another win today for nice team it was expected since their opponent ajaccio is struggling at the bottom of the table they are in the relegation zone,  there is no surprise they occupy the 18th position cinsidering how weak their offense is, they had a decent performance today and yet were unable to score a single goal which is why they will likely be relegated if they continue with this poor offensive performance.

[fadhilz123]

Even though Nice's likely win won't get them into the top 5, it will nevertheless be crucial to keeping their hopes on track for that spot. I have no doubts Nice can win this week.

Look at the results of today's matches that have been completed. It looked very easy for the Nice team to face Ajaccio at home where Ajaccio, who was unable to score a goal, had to accept defeat by Nice with a score of 3 - 0 and this made Nice develop mentally and will continue to be motivated to win in the following matches. Besides that, Ajaccio is also not a very strong team this season so the team is still in the relegation zone to this day.

Ajaccio is losing 2 out of 3 games played so I wouldn't expect much from them either.
Nice won for the 4th time in a row which was good for them but they are still missing many points to catch an European competition spot.
Monaco - PSG is the most interesting match this round and interestingly both teams have the same odds if not slightly higher for Monaco. I wonder know if Monaco is able to beat PSG?

I can't agree with you. That odds look good for both PSG and monaco. Bookies were seeing the history of PSG was not really dominant in the match against monaco. Monaco is pretty strong opponent for PSG. That's why bookies were almost giving the same odds as PSG. Monaco is also very strong in the resulting head-to-head against PSG. PSG will always be leading the first position with big gaps to the marseille. There's no team who can replace PSG at this moment.

PSG is really strong but we don't know what's gonna happen once messi will get injury as last time i heard that from some press if messi was facing injury against marseille.

The nice team played well in the home match against Ajaccio. With the win in this match, the Nice team has moved to seventh place in the points table. And Ajaccio is now 18th in the table. This team is for relegation. Nice was very tactical in this match. They don't attack much. But they understood the weakness of Ajaccio's defense all too well. And that's why 3 goals were scored. Nice took the lead in just 3 minutes. This made the win easier.

How PSG will fare against Monaco is still uncertain. Monaco is a strong team. But now their aim is to do well in the Champions League. PSG did not play well against Marseille in the last match. My guess is that PSG will play a similar strategy in this match as well. The match may be a draw. I wouldn't be surprised if Monaco wins.

Marseille missed a big chance to close the gap on the table leaders PSG when they lost at home against Nice and coming to this week as they prepare to play from away against the Clermont team that also lost in their game against Monaco last week, I think Marseille may not find it very easy to win this game even though they are seen as the favorite. Marseille will need a lot of motivation to win this game because Clermont's foot needs to also win to move up from the 11th position they occupy even though they are not fighting to win the league they also need winning to keep their fan base alive and going.

About Monaco and PSG game which is likely to be a derby match, it is very difficult to predict the outcome of the game since PSG has little dominance against Monaco in their history and the Monaco team is in fine shape currently because they have won their last few matches convincingly with good goal result and PSG playing without Mbappe is not going to be a solid team because the runs and speed force will not be seen in the PSG team. Placing a bet on both teams to score will not be bad because both teams will be looking forward to scoring as a win will take Monaco to either 2nd or 3rd place in the league standings depending on the outcome of the games for Lens and Marseille while PSG will increase their point or face the risk of being in more competition in the league if they fail to win against Monaco.

Actually I wasn't surprised by this result considering that Nice's opponent is a weak team like AC Ajaccio and this 3-0 win is already very good for Nice to go even further. As for AC Ajaccio, they actually only need one win to escape from the relegation zone this season, but considering that their opponents this month are not all easy, it seems that for a while they will remain in the relegation zone.

So far PSG made their fans from very exciting in early of season by big wins and dominating the league to very disappointed by their bad results after World Cup 2022. They have yet lost Ligue 1 and are able to win it but their bad results recently shows that even after spending lot of money, they are not competitive enough with their second team. In Champions League, with the substitution players, they will not be able to solve troubles by injuries or suspensions of their star players in main squad.

It looks many clubs in Lique 1 now can beat PSG.

Marseille will need a lot of motivation to win this game because Clermont's foot needs to also win to move up from the 11th position they occupy even though they are not fighting to win the league they also need winning to keep their fan base alive and going.

With this weird season with World Cup 2022 in December and the unclear concentration of PSG for Ligue 1, Marseille have good opportunity to make a surprise for the league. They can become another Lille that won the title ahead of PSG nose seasons ago. With the ambition and maybe big concentration of PSG for Champions League, chance for Marseille is bigger especially if PSG win against Bayern Munich and move further in Champions League.
