French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hahay]

On paper, of course, Nice is projected to win, because Auxerre is in an unfavorable position compared to Nice in the current Ligue 1 standings. But I'm sure, this match will still not be easy for Nice to beat Auxerre, because Auxerre also has the ability to be able to provide tough resistance. Due to the fact, Auxerre also had good results when playing against teams that are in the middle of the standings in the last two matches.

But yes, even though there are several different assessments, this match will certainly be an interesting match, because basically Nice has more power. With good power like that, then Nice should be able to beat Auxerre with a big score too, because previously Nice managed to beat Monaco with a score of 0-3.

I really don't understand Marseille. They had a huge chance for winning a title in this season. But they just turned down the big opportunity after being eliminated by a small team. After eliminating PSG I was just seeing Marseille as the champions already. Because they were very strong among the teams remaining in the cup. But they gave it away and now they can just fight for the second spot in the Ligue 1. Because they let their championship chance slip here as well.
Their performance against PSG here was horrible as you remember. About the Rennes match I can only say that it will be really difficult. Rennes can take advantage of their demoralized condition and even beat them. I could pick Rennes' double chance for betting.

Yes they missed the opportunity to win a trophy this season. In fact, they were almost beaten by a team that, to be honest, I didn't really know much about in normal time, but they could give hope after equalizing in the final minutes. But that hope didn't really come true, because they had to really admit defeat in the penalty shoot-out. Actually, before this match I predicted they would be able to win the French Cup, but it turns out they had to be eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Marseille should actually think about staying in the second position from now on. Because right now they are only two points ahead of the third team on the table. But they are eight points behind PSG right now. Marseille just recently lost against PSG and after that, they also lost another match in the french cup. And I really thought they should have won the match.

So they are not currently in the best of mindset right now. They will play against Rennes next. I think this match might actually end up in a draw considering the current performance of both teams.

In the sight of Neymar he is not too much ambitious of becoming a legend. He has so much potential and people respect him because he is a good footballer and a good entertainer.
He plays football sometimes for fun, so it will be nice for him to continue playing in PSG and continue to get good salaries and continue to be happy in football and make fun of the round leather.

neymar problems are big:

1 - the guy spends the longest time of the season without playing due to constant and prolonged injuries and red cards, this is a big blow that PSG has suffered

2 - his behavior off the field is not good, recently there was this news:

'INFURIATING' Neymar enrages Paris neighbours as wild house parties force Mayor to intervene

looking at these two points it is very clear that sooner or later PSG will dismiss neymar, because if PSG does not manage to win the champions league this season, they will start to see that they are spending a lot without getting results so they will reduce their operating costs, in the case of releasing high salary players, even a rich team has spending limits and needs to make a profit


OGC Nice - AJ Auxerre

this will undoubtedly be a very difficult game for nice, even coming from a sequence of 5 games without losing nice will face an opponent that in the last 4 games has shown to be a well organized team to the point of not having lost in any of the last 4 games, I think that in this game a draw may be the most likely result, but I don't see nice losing in this game, but I will not place bets on this game

[Sirait]

Nice again look amazing. not only did they win against the weaker teams, but they also proved they could handle the stronger teams. even in the last 8 matches, Nice has not lost. Monaco just got hit by Nice, let alone Auxerre which is now almost dragged into the relegation zone. Nice will get 3 additional points from this match.

auxerre is almost in the relegation zone because so far they have only managed to collect 21 points, against NICE tomorrow will definitely be a hard match for Auxerre + tomorrow's match will take place at home to NICE so the chances for Auxerre to win are very small.

Nice is a fluctuating team, they won vs top teams and lost vs weaker ones. Here their odds are better since their opponent, Auxerre, isn't that threatening and playing near the relegation zone. I don't see how Nice could lose this game.

Nice hasn't gotten a bad record... atleast with my ratings; the won Thier last match against Monaco and that became the runner up and it strengthened their feets on Thier 7th position. It wasn't funny to see how Nice could simply get away with 'em goals against Monaco so easily, even though they're currently on the 3rd position, ahead of lille and Auxerre.
Apparently, Auxerre is on the 16th position with only 21 points and I don't think they did well in their matches to have been pushed down the relegation zone. "If there is a will, there is always a way"... So let's hope that Auxerre could win? No?? I think Nice would tope some points for themselves

Auxerre isn't a strong side,  they haven't recorded good results in their matches lately.just two win out of 5 games. Yet I still wouldn't conclude that Nice is will win even though they seem favourable. My reason is that Nice doesn't make much momentum against weak clubs. It's actually a team I can't bet on cuz it keeps disappointing on matches that seems to be a must win for them. I can bet on a draw or a goal goal

[SquallLeonhart]

Lille is strong enough right now. I think that even though lens will able to win the game and the position will remain the same if marseille and monaco were also winning the game. Lens's performance has been declining since last 5 matches. Lens mostly get draw as the result.
That makes me feel doubt if lens will able to beat lille.



Lille and lens are almost equal. It's pretty hard to speculate which team that will able to win the game. The odds between both are also having a small gaps. Lens may be more favoring but i think that taking lille is not so bad at all.

I would say Lille and Lens may look close recently, because Lens has been playing worse than they have so far this season, but if you look at the whole season Lens has a better team for sure. However, I would say I do not bet on draw that easily, usually I pick a winner and stick with that, and yet this game calls out as much of a draw as I have ever seen in anything, it should be considered a game that could end up in a tie for sure.

I am not saying go bet on that, I can't make your decision for you and you shouldn't bet just because I told you to, but I am definitely going to bet on a draw for this game because they look pretty similar in power.

Nice victory over Monaco is a big boast to perform better in this match. It is true that football is unpredictable but Auxerre's performance this season is not commendable. Nice has a powerful attack headed by Moffi and Thuram. After they got three goals in the first of the match against Monaco, the Nice defense showed so much resilience and ensured that there was no goal in the second half. I don't think Auxerre will get a even a draw in this match. A win in this match will take Nice to 6th position one point above  LOSC.

But they are eight points behind PSG right now. Marseille just recently lost against PSG and after that, they also lost another match in the french cup.

Losing from PSG last match make two points left behind third position standing team AS Monaco, actually have advantage although defeated from PSG after Monaco got loss last week from Nice. Should wake up for Marseille because two points gap with AS Monaco can't securing their 2nd position for up coming next week. Indeed for next games seems AS Monaco have bigger chance three points getting against relegation team Troyes and Marseille have away to Rennes and seems not easy how to secure three points.

PSG keep comfortable in the first standing awhile after fantastic winning from Marseille last week and right now having 8 points left, next games facing Nantes and potential will get rotation player because have second leg match in Champion League against Bayern Munich.

The gap between the first and second teams of the league increased to eight points after PSG has beaten Marseille and now PSG is safe in the first position of the table, however, considering the money they invest in PSG and the players they bought we can't expect to see anything else because comparing a team with a like Marseille to PSG is more like comparing their financial situations in which these two are not same at all. Regardless of that, Marseille should be worrying about losing their position to Monaco because of the recent games we saw from them.

[Ratash]

It seems that auxere team had an awakening in the last few rounds they have beaten lyon and lorient and now they have took the lead against Nice one of the top performing teams recently, if they manage a win today they will be out of the relegation zone after a long time spent there.

[Pulsar77]

Lens v Lille can be a quite challenging match. The odds of the match is also proving this. Lens are my favourite side to win truthfully and bookies are thinking the same as well. Because especially Lens' incredible home stadium performance makes me very excited. They won nearly all of their home matches so far - only 1 loss in 12 matches. It is even better than PSG's home performance I mean. I don't know if Lille can deal with this superiority. But they can actually turn something into their advantage.

That something is Lens' recent form which is very poor. There has been a high level of drop in their performance which reflected on the results. Lille defeated them in this season before as well. I still want to believe in Lens' home effort so my choices are Lens win and both teams to score.

[Doell]

It seems that auxere team had an awakening in the last few rounds they have beaten lyon and lorient and now they have took the lead against Nice one of the top performing teams recently, if they manage a win today they will be out of the relegation zone after a long time spent there.

Auxerre did not waste their good opportunity to scored first, with a goal scored by Gauthier Hein from an Abline assist but this match isn't over and now Nice already scored to equal. Statistically Nice is better, their mistake for the first goal should not have been at there, and I'm sure in the second half Nice will get another goal.

You can easily discern that both team are fighting hard for something. Nice wants to qualify for the Europa League so badly and Auxerre wants to stay in Ligue 1. Even if Nice has double the points of Auxerre, in those games nothing is guaranteed. I know there is never anything guaranteed, but these games are more about physical intensity than technique.

A seemingly weaker team is definitely able to fight the opponent into the ground with physical superiority. For the audience the result is often a not so great to watch soccer game, but this is what the fans should expect given the standings in the table.

Another big game is on Sunday between Rennes and Olympique Marseille. The fight for the Champions League qualifiers is now the most interesting part about Ligue 1. PSG should relatively easy win their game even though it is now confirmed that Neymar is going to miss the next two games.

[Jody.Drummer]

So they are not currently in the best of mindset right now. They will play against Rennes next. I think this match might actually end up in a draw considering the current performance of both teams.

With their condition and by looking at the statistics last season, I actually think they still have a chance for that, even though their chance is really big.
Their toughest rival from last season is still the same, namely Monaco, which always puts pressure on them even until the end of the season. Even last season, their difference was only 2 points until the end. The rest is nothing to worry about, as long as they can still play well and try to be better than Monaco I think they can still be in this position until the end.

[minime0105]

Match between Nice and Auxerre, Nice gave a good fight in this match but it was impossible for them to win the match against the underperformed Auxerre, Nice player laborde penalty miss made it impossible for Nice to draw the match despite that the shot on target, ball possession, completed passes and good attacks was for the host team against the visiting team, the match draw because of the resistance of Auxerre side.

[dezoel]

I agreed about this after having good start of this season and their performance was surely at their best with this all there was chance that Marseille could be in challenging position for the title race in this season but sadly in last five matches they lost two games at home and this all turn tables out for them right now difference is eight points but as they lost two games at home look like now they are not going to have chance for the title with both matches having results like 3 - 0 and then 3 - 1 mean their defense is still having issues, and they need to fix this for the next season if they want to have better chance for the title race against teams like Monaco and PSG.

Now they are going to face Rennes which is also having improvement in last few matches and right now they are having good chance for the staying at the top level with chance for the UEFA Competitions, but this all is not easy as they are having challenges from the Lille and Nice which are also doing good and trying their best for the staying in touch for better results.

Nice which having tag of giant killer as they beat Marseille and then Monaco with the same score of 3 goals it's impressive and good consistent performance which can bring them to good level in this season if they are able to stay at this level until end of this season after some bad rounds now they are having just one lost in their last ten matches which is clearly amazing stuff, and they are surely had chance for the better end of this season.

Right now they are having a match against Auxerre and after the end of first half we have some good drama with mostly match controlled by Nice but Auxerre takes lead in 36th minute but after few minutes Nice have a penalty which was missed by Laborde but near the end of first half in injury time he is able to score a beautiful goal and bring back his team at level against Auxerre now at the end of first half we have 1 - 1.

[swogerino]

Looks like Nice was more self confident than it should have during this game as they took a bit easy the game and even when they got into disadvantage and lost a penalty soon after they didn't look like they were that worried,sure they equalized in the end of the first half but then in the second half they should have been more concrete in front of goal.I think Auxerre had prepared much better psychologically for this game as they know that even a point with a draw is very precious for them to start collecting as many points as they can to save themselves from relegation.I am sorry for a lot of people who have been losing their tickets and bets because of Nice as I know a lot of people would have bet on them.
