French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

Honestly I wasn't expecting Marseille to win against Rennes in an away game this week. But they really did it by 1-0. This was a very important win for them at the same time because their nearest opponents in the standings lost points as well. Maybe PSG have got quite away from Marseille but at least Marseille have consolidated the second position a little more.

It was unexpected to see Monaco losing points against Troyes as well. I was seeing it a clear win for Monaco side. This is the second game in a row for them in which they lose points. They need to collect themselves not to fall behind Marseille too much.

Even though Marseille can no longer catch up with PSG, at least they are still trying to secure second place in the standings so that other teams cannot catch up with them and this result is quite good for Marseille. But I hope that in the next match they can win with a minimum deficit of 2 goals to make it easier for them to reach the end of the season. For Monaco they should have won but Troyes couldn't give up so easily and the equalizer came in the added time, a bit of bad luck for Monaco in this game.

This was a very unexpected result for Monaco. Troyes is one of the weakest teams in Ligue 1. It was unexpected that Monaco would lose points in this match. However, Troyes' performance against Monaco was not weak. Troyes played very well. And they definitely deserve 1 point in this match. Monaco should have performed more cautiously. Monaco would have been able to get full points in the match if they had kept their defense strong from the beginning of the match.

The spirit of the Troyes players at home was indeed very big and extraordinary so that Troyes was able to take the lead in the first half and then Monaco replied in the second half with a total of two goals through his player Wissam Ben Yedder in the 81st and also 83 minutes, but it was still not enough to bring Monaco to victory because Troyes' player Ike Ugbo was able to provide another goal for his team in 90+1 minutes and that was enough to bring Troyes to get one point at home.

Monaco has been playing well recently and whenever a club plays well for a long time they have the tendency to lose or draw, so it understandable that Monaco draws with Troyes because they cannot continue to win.
What matter s next is the ability of Monaco to continue in their good form after this weekend in order to remain consistent to a permissible level of engagement.

In the last two matches, we did not get a better performance than Monaco. They shared points with Troyes. And in the previous match, they lost 3-0 against Nice. In both of these matches, Monaco has had a lot of trouble scoring goals, despite having a lot of attacking power. At the same time, their defense is very shaky. If Monaco wants to get back on track, they should definitely look to tighten up their defense. If the defense is not strong then they will lose more points in the coming matches.

There are still 12 matches remaining. It's still possible for marseille to catch PSG as long as PSG will be getting some loses in a row. The only chance for marseille will be so small with the goes of time if PSG will not face any loss until the end of the season.
There are still hopes for marseille but i think that if the bookies may put PSG as the favorite team to win the trophy again in league 1. Marseille has been doing so well in the early season but the problem is this club was losing some important points.

I think that the next matches that will be faced by PSG and Marseille gonna be easy money for us.
You can see this.





Marseille and PSG will be facing easy team. Both of clubs have very good odds to make easy money. I think that if the result from the next match gonna be changing the current standing. It seems like that 8 points gonna be last until the end of season.

2 matches left this week and one of them is the match between Rennes vs Marseille. This will be an interesting match because both clubs will need a win to maintain their position in the standings table. Rennes acts as the host in this match, but Marseille is more favored. I think maybe a draw will happen in this match, because both clubs are chasing points. If any one of them is going to win, I think Marseille will get it.

Your prediction is correct in this case. The match was quite exciting and indeed neither team wanted to give in but in terms of taking advantage of Marseille's opportunities it was better and they were able to win even with a narrow score.
With this result it is clear that they are safe from the pursuit of Monaco after Monaco were previously held to a 2-2 draw by Troyes.

Even though only 1 goal was created in this match, this is really very good and I like watching their matches which are full of high tension.
The condition of the two of them was still in very good performance and neither of them wanted to lose, so buying and selling attacks was very exciting.
Marseille's winning condition was not accompanied by Monaco who only played a draw which made Marseille now quite comfortable with a difference of 4 points.
I think the conditions of Marseille and PSG will still be the same as last season if you look at the current conditions.

No matter how much the fans helped, it was the players that made it possible and I have to say that it was a unique game in the end and everyone played very well.

I know that it is not going to change much in the end, and Troyes will end up with relegation no matter what they do, just 4 wins out of 26 games shows that they are bad at home too, it is not just away games that they are having troubles with, when a team has near 10% win rate, you do not really expect them to beat anyone,  certainly not the team third in the league right now with 15 wins in 26 games and only 5 losses all year. That feels like an exception and not the rule, Troyes would lose 9 out of 10 against Monaco.

Yes, that's right, even though they faced a stronger team than them, they were still able to provide extraordinary resistance, they could even win this match if their defense could break every attack that was built by the opponent. 3 minutes in the 10 minutes before the end of the match was where their panic started so that within 3 minutes 2 goals nested into their goal.

As we agree, PSG's dominance in this competition will be difficult for its competitors to break in the hunt for the Ligue 1 trophy. Currently, Marseille is 8 points behind the leaders of the standings. but there are still 12 matches left until the end of the season, Marseille must remain consistent by winning all the remaining matches. and hopefully, PSG will slip at least in the next few matches, if that happens Marseille still has a chance to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season.

But apparently it is not something easy, because after all PSG is the strongest team in this competition. if in the end, PSG had to be eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League over Bayern. automatically, their attention will be on Ligue 1. but anyway, anything can still happen, so let's just follow the progress of these two teams.

Rennes had a really unlucky game for themselves. Because they found so many goal chances during the game but couldn't make use of any of them.

Especially in the first half, Rennes had so many wasted chances. One of them by Gouiri was a really absolute goal chance but it hit the upper goal post. After wasting so many chances Marseille just punished them hard. Their goal came by a good free-kick organization. It was obviously a prepared kind of free-kick but their using the free-kick caught Rennes players off guard. In the last minutes, Rennes could have scored the equalizer but they wasted another big chance in the last minute.

This is a really valuable win for Marseille as it was a hard-fought one in a big game.

Personally, I was not expecting to see a team like Rennes winning the game against Marseille. I mean I know Rennes was performing well and they are currently the 8th team in the league but Marseille got a much better situation and they are the second team in the league with a gap between themselves and PSG while they also started the season very well and winning this game is not spring for me. But in the next game, Rennes is going to face Auxerre in which they can have hope to beat this team.

[hahay]

It looks like Rennes will not be able to maintain its position in the top five, because Lille, which is under Rennes now, only has one point gap. So, with a very close point gap like this, Lille, which can basically be said to be a team that has better quality than Rennes, then of course this will allow Lille to take over the top five positions.

But yes, apart from their position in the Ligue 1 standings, I personally can still admit that Rennes has had a good performance. But unfortunately, Rennes was not lucky enough, because Rennes basically had more goal attempts compared to Marseille in yesterday's match, but Rennes still couldn't convert them into goals as expected.

...

Rennes were following them closely in the league. It was important to them that they won this match. They got an important win that could determine the standings in the league. Also, It will be a natural result for PSG to finish the league as champions. So I think it's normal for Marseille to lose to PSG and move away from the title race. Still, Marseille are playing very good football. In fact, they can do what Lille did two years ago, but PSG are above this league. Maybe if they have a better transfer window next year, they can do what Lille did before in the French league next season.

In the last ten years ... rennes & lille always in competition on how who's above who in the final ligue 1 table ... both have similar statistics , sometimes lille finished at the better position and sometimes lille , so do with this season ... the different is that lille successfully win the league at 2020/2021 while rennes not.

At this point we can see the quality of lille a bit better than rennes so yeah , there is a bigger chance for lille to take over the 5th spot.

Uh, this is some tough news for PSG because no matter what everyone thinks of him and his manners and his lifestyle, but it total it is still bad news:

Neymar's season is OVER after PSG make decision on reconstructive surgery

Reconstructive surgery is no joke, whatever they are exactly going to do, but this stuff takes time to perfectly heal and then to perfectly be put to work again. They say he is going to miss until the end of the season. I would say that the transfer and speculation thread can then also have a break when it comes to Neymar as it would be crazy for any club to sign him now.This is probably a last resort as he is 31 years old, but since he had trouble with that joint I think a couple of times, there was no other way I would guess.

last season marseille successfully stopped in 2nd position with only a 15 point difference from PSG and this season it looks like marseille will finish in 2nd position too. There are still 11 matches remaining and the chance for Marseille to shift PSG is still there, it's just that PSG plays badly, and I'm sure PSG won't play badly again in the future, so far PSG has only lost 3 times while Marseille has lost 5 times.

I feel sorry for this talented superstar because he had suffered due to this reoccurring ankle injury. Having a permanent cure will be a plus to Neymar's career. Neymar may want to continue playing active football after the surgery. He is 31 and has enjoyed football to the fullest, winning several trophies and individual awards. For me, I think it's time to say goodbye to active European football. Messi and Ronaldo are fortunate to be active in football for above 35 years, this might not be Neymar's case. Reconstruction surgeries are useful but his age might affect his recovery process. Many top players resigned in their prime because of injuries, and Neymar should also consider this option. Or he could look toward the Middle East or the US to continue his trade.

I think the lyon-lorient match was as important as the rennes-marsille match.  Honestly, I expected lyon to win but lorient didn't allow it. We can say that both teams played equally. But it's worth saying that lyon, of course, had more scoring chances. But they couldn't capitalize on them. Except for Montpellier-Angers and Troyes-Monaco, we didn't see many goals in the other matches.
It's a pity for Monaco that they drew away against such an out of form and weak team. They lost 2 points unnecessarily in my opinion.

An important match has been left for Marseille and they managed to get 3 points away from Rennes with a single goal.  I think the Marseille team know that their championship hopes are very weak.  Along with Monaco for second place, Lens are their rivals.  Marseille have to win every game for second place from this side.
