French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bering]

This week Lille will face Lorient and it looks like this will be an interesting match for gamblers to make their choice in the bets later. Lille will be the host, of course they will not waste this opportunity to get the maximum results to shift Rennes' position. Meanwhile, Lorient's guest is quite a match for Lille, but Lorient has a target to shift Nice's position in the standings, these two teams have the same number of points. I thought it would be a draw, but Lille had a slight lead. My score prediction is 2-1 for Lille to win.

Lille has a higher chance of winning than Lorient, which means Lille is superior on paper in the match later, as you said the result could be a draw because Lorient also needs points to be able to overtake Nice in 7th place, on the one hand Lille also wants to look good in in front of his supporters. 

The current odds for both teams

Lille @1.39
Lorient @7.60

I could understand why the bookie provide low odds for Lille i mean Lorient is not weak team they even can able to beat Lille several times previously and indeed Lille in the front of their supporters could be performing well but do not forget for the first meeting Lorient can able to beat Lille with scores 2-1 so Lorient couldn't be defeated easily and i can see the teams conditions between them is not so different although i saw some of players got injured but it won't be affect for their performance

I think i have to agree with your picked that the match possibly will ended with draw result considering the strength between them is not so different but i have been notice Lille player Jonathan David is really onfire that he can scores 7 goals from 6 recent matches even for international match he can bringing Canada to win from Curacao so Lorient should be aware to this player

Yes, it's true that there is nothing more special for a team than dedicating victory to their supporters who come directly to the stadium to support them. Now LOSC wants to do what is best for its supporters and also to maintain its current position. Their chances of winning are greater than the visitors, but they must be careful not to make mistakes that will cost them in this game.

LOSC is indeed superior to Lorient. they have a more productive forward line than Lorient. especially when they will be playing at home. but Lorient can also surprise. LOSC drew against Lyon, and Lorient also drew with Lyon. saw the odds offered for this match, and wanted to try with a small bet by choosing Lorient to narrowly win.

[Razmirraz]

Psg do not even have to put all their efforts into the Ligue 1 to win it, the other teams that can challenge them for the Ligue 1 title are very inconsistent, teams like Marseille, Lens and Monaco. Psg have been in poor form many times this season and if these teams were consistent, they should have taken the number 1 position from psg, but whenever the chance comes, they also start losing games. Psg are leading with 7 points right now and i am sure the advantage will get bigger, if the other big clubs in the Ligue 1 want to take the title from psg in any season, they have to be consistent.

U are right. This is one of the reasons I present to people as per why PSG don't do well in some competitions outside French league. The confidence PSG has while playing in their local league isn't buoyant enough to keep them in competitions like champions league.
PSG has been very poor this season but yet, no other team in the French league was able to overthrough them from the top position in the French league standing. This alone shows how weak the league is.

If Ligue 1 were like the Premier League, PSG would not be able to continue to stay at the top of the standings. This season PSG not only performed beyond expectations in competitions outside of Ligue 1, they were also unable to maintain their best performance in the local league. Luckily for PSG because Ligue 1 is not as competitive as the Premier League, they can continue to be champions after year because no other team can provide competition.
The negative effect that is felt by PSG is that it always has difficulty competing in other competitions, the proof is that PSG has not been able to bring home the Champions League trophy even though they have wanted to win it for a long time.

LOSC drew against Lyon, and Lorient also drew with Lyon. saw the odds offered for this match, and wanted to try with a small bet by choosing Lorient to narrowly win.

Are you sure about Lorient? I think the probability of a home win is much better to consider.
So far Lille is playing very well at home with only 2 defeats and 4 draws. Whereas Lille has won 8 of its home matches in the last 14 matches, so in my opinion Lille looks more convincing to win the match than Lorient.

Based on the home match stats, I think it's worth paying attention to Lille's chances of winning, which has had a better run of form so far than Lorient. But regarding bets, you are free to choose any team regardless of the statistics of the two teams in the previous match.

Another day, another post page, and almost nothing but full of PSG talks come on guys you can do better talking about French league!

You should not be surprised if most people here psg fans. 

It's over for Marseille, I would say, and Ounahi getting his injury with Morocco makes their chances even slimmer. Sanchez wants to stay so hope they maintain another attempt next season! Lens as we mostly expected no longer will fantasise about anything but I admit I'm still surprised they hang on to 3rd spot for this long.

That will not be a problem for marseille if ounahi gets injured. There was still malinovskyi that can still play even though he has got one yellow card. It's a bit risky to allow him to play caused by he can get a red card anytime.

Balogun will be looking at Arsenal and wondering if he'll return to a team that is champion next season.

Balogun may not come back again to the arsenal. he is potentially coming back again to the reims. Arsenal has several strikers right now. It's hard for balogun to compete with gabriel, trossard and nketiah. he will always be on the bench if he will be back to arsenal.

Rennes odds is very bit different with lens maybe because they play at home, and as you has mentioned, there is no doubt to bet in draw because of the record, but I just give 1 more attention if Rennes also have lost when meets Lille at their home, Which I think the possible loss for the host has a big chance also if careless on defense like ago.

Actually Rennes have a good record when playing at their own headquarters. in 14 matches played at home, they recorded 11 wins although three matches lost. So, I see that Rennes has a chance to win this fight. moreover, Bruno Genesio's squad has strong motivation after overthrowing PSG in the previous game. at least, Rennes will take advantage of the momentum to gain maximum points when hosting Lens at their own headquarters. although, Lens is not an easy opponent for them to overthrow.

On the other hand, this match is important for Lens to maintain their ranking in the top four of the standings or shift the ranking occupied by Marseille. Meanwhile, Lens also has a good record against Rennes. of the 5 matches these two teams met, Lens was able to win 3 matches and the rest were draws. statistically, Lens has the chance to win full points over Rennes. but, it is not easy to overpower his opponent. because, apart from playing away from home, Rennes is in high confidence. so, this fight looks like it will take place quite tough.

[Pesona1]

Balogun may not come back again to the arsenal. he is potentially coming back again to the reims. Arsenal has several strikers right now. It's hard for balogun to compete with gabriel, trossard and nketiah. he will always be on the bench if he will be back to arsenal.

Balogun has so far performed quite impressively in the French league and he has even been able to compete with Mbappe in the top scorer list while league 1, although he has appeared quite impressive so far it seems that Arsenal are not interested enough in returning him to the Emirates stadium and of course they have their reason, in my opinion he will again extend his contract with Arsenal for a few more seasons even though he will be loaned again to another club later, Balogun is a talented player that Arsenal will continue to maintain so that when he is truly ready and able to play in the premier league then it is likely that Arsenal will try to include him to their line up later but for now I don't think arsenal is ready to gamble by pulling balugon back into their main squad.

Maybe there is a point if Lens have to secure at least 1 point in this match because they are targeting to keep close to Marseille in the standings. But if Lens can get the full 3 points then it's actually very good they will shift Marseille's position. But what is clear is that Rennes is not an easy opponent to beat, they have a very good record in the last 5 Ligue 1 matches by winning 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Of course Lens will have a lot of trouble trying to steal points from the hosts, I also think with you that this match will likely end in a 1-1 draw.

So in your opinion this match will end with a score of 1-1, it seems reasonable to me personally if betting on both teams to score and it will be best option instead of bet on the draw option. Also seeing some of responses from the community which entrust Lens in this match, so to bet it seems like I'll take the option of both team to score, I hope Lens can score first to improve the performance of Rennes players so they can also scored.

That will not be a problem for marseille if ounahi gets injured. There was still malinovskyi that can still play even though he has got one yellow card. It's a bit risky to allow him to play caused by he can get a red card anytime.

In fact, Malinovsky has played an irreplaceable role on the wing in the last few games. Indeed in this case he has one yellow card but I think it is not a problem for Marseille and I agree with what you say.
Motpellier can be a stumbling block when looking at it in terms of performance, it's just that in the match at the beginning of April I still believe in Marseille who still have a good record and moreover their players are quite complex even though there are certain players who will not be able to play due to injury.

But in terms of facts it is clear that this will not happen because it is only a supposition that occurs when looking at conditions like this.
The quality of players and money clearly differentiate in this case, so it is indeed difficult to balance the two competitions which are quite big in Europe now.
On the other hand, but indeed if you want good conditions in terms of competition, there must be some improvement from clubs other than PSG because this really determines quality too.

The lens team is stronger than Rennes. And lens performance is more stable. However, Rennes will be confident after their 2-0 win over PSG in their last match. Still I think Lens will win this match. Rennes has not won any of the last 5 matches between these two teams. This match is very important for Lens. Because if able to get full points in this match, Lens will be able to occupy second place in the points table. My prediction is Lens will win this match 1-0.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The French league is a league where many things are unleashing, associated problems around PSG, there is talk that the team can disintegrate because the stars are going to leave, and if they leave, how are they going to do? They would have to have a very good plan such as bringing in a player like Haaland, and other similar ones, and the team that I have seen that have good players and That invested a great deal of money is Chelsea, even so they have not been able to do much because the The results are not satisfactory at all, and that is something that Poter has it wrong.

Psg do not even have to put all their efforts into the Ligue 1 to win it, the other teams that can challenge them for the Ligue 1 title are very inconsistent, teams like Marseille, Lens and Monaco.

When talking about Ligue 1, PSG comes to mind from the outset for most people, because it has the most emblematic soccer stars like Messi, Ney, Mbappé, who are the most renowned worldwide, and that's why It is that Ligue 1 focuses a lot on the headlines that fans like the most is PSG, however now Marseille is chasing them, can they take 1st place from them? It is not known, but the mathematical possibilities are there, and this makes the emotions and the fans of Marseille dream.

Alfredo Morelos AND Alexis Sanchez named on transfer dream ticket as Rangers star sees old suitors return

Galatasaray want to add Alexis Sanchez to their strikeforece along with Alfredo Morelos for next season, according to reports in France.

Former Arsenal and Manchester United man Sanchez’s contract at current club Marseille is, like Morelos at Rangers, due to expire in the summer. The 34-year-old said he is keen to extend his stay at the Ligue 1 giants but his future at the Velodrome is in doubt and Galatasaray are said to be keen on the Chilean as well as fellow South American Morelos.

If PSG suffers consecutive defeats and then PSG's position is still very likely to be taken over, because a gap of seven points is not a safe gap for PSG. Therefore, PSG still has to be able to get victory after win for the next matches.

Because even though the team that is below PSG's position in the Ligue 1 standings is not very consistent, but if PSG continues to get worse, then the team under PSG certainly has the ability to take advantage of this situation. So yes, after all, PSG is basically not strong enough either in the local league or even more so in the Champions League.

The PSG team is still at the top of the points table in Ligue 1. But this team needs to add more points as players and performances. Because PSG are only a few points ahead of Marseille. Hope the next matches will ensure victory and will be able to add more points.

[bitgolden]

PSG's performances have been poor in recent times. I'd also like to blame PSG's multiple coaching changes in this issue, among with some others. Different managers of the team have come up with their own strategies and tactics in such changes. This has resulted in a lack of consistency in the team's style of play and overall approach to play. As a result there may be some lack of coordination within the team. But I think the team has strong foundations and potential to bounce back in the future.

I would guess that Pochettino being there for so long must have helped a bit, but Galtier is new that is for sure. They really need a big name manager, otherwise this won't happen. No manager they got had any huge names, they had some names but never huge names and I believe that they really need to have some sort of huuuuuge name on manager.

I suggested Zidane, but I can see any other person, Tuchel is a missed chance for example, or they could go crazy and offer Pep Guardiola a huge amount and steal him from City. These are all great ideas, they just need a huge name there, that's a must and without that they are not going to be fine nor will win the UCL ever.

[posi]

As strong as PSG's squad is, better performances were expected from them. They cannot play well in Ligue 1. Maybe they will win the Ligue 1 title, but I am not satisfied with their performance. A better performance was expected from such a strong and star-studded squad. PSG's performance in the Champions League was very disappointing. They lost badly against Bayern Munich. As PSG's performance is not improving after spending huge sums on star players. So now PSG management should look for an experienced coach. If the coach is experienced, maybe their performance will be somewhat stable.

It is acceptable if they have a bit difficult in Ligue 1 but go far in Champions League. However reality is they failed in Champions League at the first knock-out phase, round of 16 so any excuse for their not good enough performance in Ligue 1 does not mean anything. It's unacceptable for their fans to exit Champions League at round of 16 and see their star players turn to be meeky sheeps in Champions League.
In the last two seasons, PSG did not repeat their successful season when they went to Champions League final and failed under hands of Bayern Munich. Three seasons later, they failed against Bayern but at round of 16. No revenge after all for PSG after 3 years.

PSG is not going to be performing well in the Champions League. At least as long as they are not going to make a balanced team, they are not getting any huge achievements. I believe that this season there is going to be a big change in the PSG squad. At least two of the strikers that they have, Messi and Mbappe are actually going to leave the club, and I don't think Neymar is also going to stay around for long. I am very interested to see how the squad is going to be built. This was of course a very big loss project for PSG.

Maybe there is a point if Lens have to secure at least 1 point in this match because they are targeting to keep close to Marseille in the standings. But if Lens can get the full 3 points then it's actually very good they will shift Marseille's position. But what is clear is that Rennes is not an easy opponent to beat, they have a very good record in the last 5 Ligue 1 matches by winning 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Of course Lens will have a lot of trouble trying to steal points from the hosts, I also think with you that this match will likely end in a 1-1 draw.

So in your opinion this match will end with a score of 1-1, it seems reasonable to me personally if betting on both teams to score and it will be best option instead of bet on the draw option. Also seeing some of responses from the community which entrust Lens in this match, so to bet it seems like I'll take the option of both team to score, I hope Lens can score first to improve the performance of Rennes players so they can also scored.

Whoever scores the first goal will indeed control the game, but what is certain is that by conceding first they will be motivated to immediately equalize the score. Even if there is a team that can win in this match it is probably Lens, but the chances are quite small so it's better to bet for both teams to score goals at each other or you can take other betting options such as the handicap (0.5) for Lens's advantage.

[slapper]

Rennes - Lens is another game on next week to be played. It is an important game for both of these teams for qualifying for tournaments in Europe.

Rennes have a chance for even the Europa League now. The gap with Monaco is only four points which can be closed in the remaining time period of the season. Lens on the other hand are trying to qualify for the Champions League. They can even make it to the group stage if they manage to take the second position. However Marseille are a really challenging team to beat them about this. Lens beat them in their latest head-to-head game though. But I still don't think Rennes will lose. They newly beat PSG away shockingly so they should be motivated to win here as well.

After beating PSG very well, of course that should motivated Rennes squad to get points against Lens, although on a head to head record Lens is better rather than Rennes but later they will favored because they are playing at home. Also Lens when playing away they are not too good, so far in 14 matches they have only been able to get 4 wins 8 draws and 2 lost. And my guess for this match will end with a draw results, because I think Lens also don't want to lose points for stay close with Marseille.

Maybe there is a point if Lens have to secure at least 1 point in this match because they are targeting to keep close to Marseille in the standings. But if Lens can get the full 3 points then it's actually very good they will shift Marseille's position. But what is clear is that Rennes is not an easy opponent to beat, they have a very good record in the last 5 Ligue 1 matches by winning 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Of course Lens will have a lot of trouble trying to steal points from the hosts, I also think with you that this match will likely end in a 1-1 draw.

My friend, your breakdown of the Lens-Rennes bout was melodic. Opinions are compared to mixtapes. They're different for everyone. Rennes is good, but don't overlook Lens. They want victory. You can't lose betting on both teams to score. Safety first? Consider this: Lens scored early like a star. Wild, huh? Finally, these ballers work hard and play with heart. We should help them achieve their goals and show their colors. Let's enjoy the lovely game with popcorn.

Balogun may not come back again to the arsenal. he is potentially coming back again to the reims. Arsenal has several strikers right now. It's hard for balogun to compete with gabriel, trossard and nketiah. he will always be on the bench if he will be back to arsenal.

Balogun has so far performed quite impressively in the French league and he has even been able to compete with Mbappe in the top scorer list while league 1, although he has appeared quite impressive so far it seems that Arsenal are not interested enough in returning him to the Emirates stadium and of course they have their reason, in my opinion he will again extend his contract with Arsenal for a few more seasons even though he will be loaned again to another club later, Balogun is a talented player that Arsenal will continue to maintain so that when he is truly ready and able to play in the premier league then it is likely that Arsenal will try to include him to their line up later but for now I don't think arsenal is ready to gamble by pulling balugon back into their main squad.

Balogun's contract is going for another 2.5 years roughly anyway. Quite possible that Arsenal will extend the contract and then let him play elsewhere to collect further experience. But it's also possible that Arsenal is going to take him into the Premier League because why not? If he has proven himself in Ligue 1 with a club like Stade Reims, he will have even better players around him to assist and serve him when he plays for Arsenal in the Premier League. It could both make sense and he hasn't much more to prove as of now.

Mbappe is a sad story. The guy should have at least 30 goals and more by the end of the season. They have 38 games and it isn't even sure whether he is going to be the best goal scorer in Ligue 1. How is that even possible?
