French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[execijutiere]

On Friday, Marseille host Montpellier in the opening match of the week. Marseille has to win to reduce the points difference with PSG. Montpellier, on the other hand, has been in great form in recent weeks. They have 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 weeks. I think it won't be an easy match for Marseille. Montpellier's unbeaten streak could be broken with this match. When we look at the odds, Marseille is shown as heavy favorite but I think Montpellier is not an easy target.If Marseille wins this match, they will reduce the points difference with PSG to 4. It should be noted that PSG will play Lyon. In such a week, Marseille will not want to make a mistake.

On papers and odds are completely favouring Marseille to win this match but as you already mentioned Montpellier is in great form with currently they are at the top in last five matches performance four wins and one draw mean it's never been easy match for the host team while they fail to win from last four matches at home which is surely not ideal situation for them while they are going to challenge leaders PSG for the title race they have to improve their performance and quality as well because now we have only 10 matches left in this season and both top teams are trying their best for staying at their current level with PSG which is also now having exit from Champions League having not ideal performance which can create some interesting competition for the title race.

PSG's elimination from the Champions League may increase their focus on the league, but it should not be forgotten that PSG will have tough matches ahead of them.These next 3 matches will be against really tough opponents.I can say that PSG will perhaps declare their championship mentally if they continue with few points losses from here.With 10 games left in the league, the difference of 7 points is not much and it is a difference that can be closed. That's why Marseille needs to play every match as if it were a final match. If they lose points in such matches, PSG will declare their championship early.

Messi's future at PSG is still ambiguous. He doesn't want to be in a hurry when it comes to extending his contract with the team now. He is just taking his time to make the right decision for himself. Especially after being eliminated in the Champions League maybe this would also be a factor that plays a role in making this decision.

I think his contract will run out and he will wait as a free agent for some time in the summer. Who knows maybe Barcelona would decide to make an offer and things can get more interesting. If they manage to meet his demands Messi's first choice can be them over PSG.

Therically we cannot be sure to say PSG is going to win the title at the end of the season but in fact, the main reason for us to say no other team than PSG is going to win the title during this season is the bad performance of all other teams, I mean if there was any strong opponent for PSG during this season because the bad performance they had so far in this season even with the superstars they have I could say there is a chance for other teams to win the trophy.

Actually, PSG still has a big chance to win France League 1 trophy as long as they are able to maintain the position until the end which is no longer many matches here. As long as they don't make many mistakes in sequences, I do believe that they are still able to do it. Moreover they have those big players, I don't think they will let something bad happened to PSG again, moreover without any trophy, this will be ashamed so much to them. That is why the probability is here actually.

[execijutiere]

First of all, tomorrow's match between Marseille and Montpellier is a very important match for Marseille. The match between Rennes and Lens is a very important match for both teams. Rennes has to win the match in order to maintain its 5th place.Lens, on the other hand, is in the championship race and needs to get points from this match in order not to widen the points difference. Both teams have no problem in front of goal, especially Lens, who have scored in all of their last matches, and have a high potential to score in this match, despite being away from home.

[Velvet78]

Technically there are still ten more weeks to go for the end of the season. The gap between Marseille and PSG isn't the kind of an impossible one mathematically. However I assume PSG wouldn't let us get more excited about the championship. I would really like to see a thrilling competition between them for the championship on the final weeks of the season.

But even if Marseille continue to win for a long time I assume PSG wouldn't make a huge mistake from now on. They are already out of the Champions League so they can't risk the Ligue 1 title as well.

messi has no future at PSG and he will not stay at PSG for the upcoming season. Messi has told his father and agent to bring back him again to the barcelona but the problem is barcelona must have sold some players first to comply with FFP. messi will be leaving from the barcelona with free agent status if his contract will not be extended. Messi is not happy to stay in PSG. Some clubs have been started to be linked with him.

In a major update, Argentine journalist Gaston Edul (h/t Albiceleste Talk) has claimed that Lionel Messi is waiting for Barcelona to make an approach for him this summer.

The thing that is clear to us is if messi is not even wanna stay in PSG. Messi already accepted to decrease his salary once he will be going back to the barcelona.

After two failed seasons with their bet on Messi and his ability to help PSG to win Champions League, PSG will not want to pay him too high salary if a new contract is signed between them. Messi will have to accept to reduce his salary payroll for his new contract with PSG. Will he accept to do this when his career has a few years left?

I am sure he will easily get very high salary, higher than what he currently gets in PSG if he decides to move to Middle East leagues like Cristiano Ronaldo. Not many reasons to sacrifice his salary and continue with PSG.

The thing that is clear to us is if messi is not even wanna stay in PSG. Messi already accepted to decrease his salary once he will be going back to the barcelona.

However, it won't be easy for Barcelona to convince Messi returning to Camp Nou. It is very hard task for them even their coach Xavi has good relationship with Messi. Barcelona are not better than PSG in chance to win Champions League which is a most wanted title Messi aims at recent seasons. They will also not be able to give Messi too high salary.

Marseille vs Montpellier

Montpellier recently has earn 13 points from 5 matches i think this proven they are in the good shape and for Marseille they are really required points to pursuing PSG so wins results is mandatory for each matches if they want to compete with PSG for race title

About team conditions for Montpellier i saw 5 players are on their injured list including Faitout Maouassa but i don't think it would be a big problem because so far Montpellier can able to win without those players and for front lines Elye Wahi probably will be played since the beginning of match

For Marseille i didn't see any important players who got injured besides Sead Kolasinac but probably Leonardo Balerdi still unable to play because of suspension and i know Montpellier recent performance is more good than Marseille but i think it won't makes them can able to beat Marseille and in my opinion Marseille had a potention to break unbeatable records from Montpellier especially from head to head statistics they are too strong for Montpellier and Marseille win probably good picked for this match and this option has odds @1.44

Marseille team took advantage of psg loss today and they closed the gap between them and paris team to seven points thanks to their win against Reims and in the process they stoped Reims unbeaten streak that lasted 19 games very impressive performance from alexis sanchez who scored two goals and gave marseille team three precious points.

In that I cannot deny it, the Chilean was quite good in the way he scored those goals, and they were very nice goals, if they played like that all the time they Could make a difference, at the beginning of the season Marseille had a lot of faith in him, which I don't like this team is that when they are playing very well and they have to win they don't, they let themselves lose all the work they did before, and although they are 7 points behind PSG I hope they continue with that streak, for me it is one of the best things you can do if they were to match, plus it's very strange that PSG have lost, I think they have Lost focus a bit, the fact that they lost the UCL has affected them.

I think zidane is the perfect coach for a team like psg and if he join i don't think mbappe or any other player will leave the club, zidane is a great coach and everyone will surely wish to be under his supervision, psg administration must do everything to convince zidane joining the club

The problem is that Zidane's willingness to train PSG is not yet there, so that has not happened until now, even though the PSG administration can still persuade Zidane at this time to train PSG. And it would be extraordinary if PSG were able to bring a coach like Zidane into their team the following season. But I still have doubts about this because I remember the will of Zidane himself, who may not yet be there to train PSG.

What happens is that Zidane is looking to be the technical director of France, Zidane is a very demanding coach, before joining a team he puts on the table what he wants and how he wants to achieve it, if they don't give him what that he simply wants, he says uqe no, then to oppose Zidane at PSG the sheikh will have to make many changes in the team and bring in the players that zidane says and throw out the psg players that he says, this kind of thing It means having the PSG team destroyed in its entirety so that he can work very well, for the rest I think he will always say no.

PSG team is only able to perform best in League One. But the PSG team is not able to do anything in other leagues. PSG have enough players in their squad who can do great things. But due to some mistakes of the coach of the team, the team is currently failing to do well in other leagues.

That has been their problem during all these years.They have super star players and it is normal that they will dominate Ligue 1 but after winning it for quite some consecutive years their main objective set by the board of management has been the Champions League.

Unfortunately there they always have failed miserably despite having always great talented players and in this last year super star players that shocked me how they could not score to Bayern Munchen and also how easily their defense was penetrated from Bayern Munchen.I think they have to improve in Champions as they have nothing to improve in Ligue 1.

PSG team is currently the strongest team in League One. The opponents of this team or other teams are able to perform much less than the PSG team. I think League One needs to have some strong teams along with PSG to make the matches competitive.

The management of PSG believes that they can become the best team in the world only by recruiting the best players in the world. So they spent a record amount of money to sign Neymar. Paying very high wages to Messi and Mbappe. The team also has star players like Donnarumma, Ramos, and Hakimi. However, PSG's performance did not improve. PSG management has ignored the fact that apart from having good players in the team, they also need an experienced coach. Due to this, they are not getting the expected performance from the team even after wasting huge amounts of money. PSG management should first hire an experienced coach. After that, the coach chooses to add the necessary players to the squad.

On Friday, Marseille host Montpellier in the opening match of the week. Marseille has to win to reduce the points difference with PSG. Montpellier, on the other hand, has been in great form in recent weeks. They have 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 weeks. I think it won't be an easy match for Marseille. Montpellier's unbeaten streak could be broken with this match. When we look at the odds, Marseille is shown as heavy favorite but I think Montpellier is not an easy target.If Marseille wins this match, they will reduce the points difference with PSG to 4. It should be noted that PSG will play Lyon. In such a week, Marseille will not want to make a mistake.

On papers and odds are completely favouring Marseille to win this match but as you already mentioned Montpellier is in great form with currently they are at the top in last five matches performance four wins and one draw mean it's never been easy match for the host team while they fail to win from last four matches at home which is surely not ideal situation for them while they are going to challenge leaders PSG for the title race they have to improve their performance and quality as well because now we have only 10 matches left in this season and both top teams are trying their best for staying at their current level with PSG which is also now having exit from Champions League having not ideal performance which can create some interesting competition for the title race.

Marseille might be the favorites, but don't count Montpellier out just yet. They're really on fire lately – last five matches? Four dubs and a draw, man. That's some serious heat. And we can't ignore how Marseille's been slipping at home, not the best look.

Now, let's address the big ol' elephant – PSG. Sure, they got booted from the Champions League, but they're far from finished. They got some tough battles ahead, and if they keep dropping points, they're gonna kiss that championship goodbye. Marseille's gotta step it up, treat every game like it's the World Cup or something. Only 10 matches left, no room for error. Seven points might not seem like a lot, but trust me, it can be a game-changer.

First of all, tomorrow's match between Marseille and Montpellier is a very important match for Marseille. The match between Rennes and Lens is a very important match for both teams. Rennes has to win the match in order to maintain its 5th place.Lens, on the other hand, is in the championship race and needs to get points from this match in order not to widen the points difference. Both teams have no problem in front of goal, especially Lens, who have scored in all of their last matches, and have a high potential to score in this match, despite being away from home.

I think it will be an easy game for Marseille tonight and an easy three points... They really need this win to get closer to PSG... While Montpellier are no longer motivated for the rest of this season, they will still remain in the middle of the standings... So I think betting on a Marseille win today will be risk-free...

[rendravolt]

Auxerre vs Troyes

This is a match between the teams in the relegation zone this week, as can be seen both of them are in 17th and 18th positions but are only 2 points apart. It is clear that Auxerre will be favored as the host and Troyes are unlikely to provide much fierce resistance in this match. Even though Auxerre previously lost the previous match against Strasbourg, Auxerre, who has a better performance, will definitely take this opportunity to secure full points at home. If Auxerre wins they will be free from the relegation zone for a while and shift Brest's position.

I have close thoughts with you about this match. Both teams have been performing very well in the last few weeks. However, Marseille are in a bigger race. I'm certainly not underestimating Montpellier. After Michel Der Zakarian took office, they also had a great performance. But Marseille are on a different level than them. If Marseille win this match, they will have the opportunity to approach PSG again. I think they will care more about this match than Montpellier. According to my guess, Marseille will win the match between the two best teams of the last weeks.

The condition of the Marseille team cannot be described very well. But while this team performed very poorly with some teams, you performed exceptionally well. But it can be believed that Marseille will desperately secure victory in the upcoming matches.

If marseille will be losing points against montpellier and that will be a disaster caused by there are still chances for marseille to be able to get the trophy as long as PSG was doing some mistakes. The gap to the PSG was only 7 points. There are still 10 matches worth 30 points in total until the end of season. That means if the chance for PSG to be surpassed by marseille is still there. Marseille is not yet losing in the competition to get league 1 trophy. Lens and monaco are also potentially coming back to the competitiong to get the trophy as well.

PSG had many problems that have not been solved and it will become a disaster for PSG if the club was losing more and more matches. It can be surpassed easily by marseille. As marseille fans and i hope that PSG will be losing more and more points.

that will be so good to see marseille to take the trophy for this season.

Auxerre vs Troyes

This is a match between the teams in the relegation zone this week, as can be seen both of them are in 17th and 18th positions but are only 2 points apart. It is clear that Auxerre will be favored as the host and Troyes are unlikely to provide much fierce resistance in this match. Even though Auxerre previously lost the previous match against Strasbourg, Auxerre, who has a better performance, will definitely take this opportunity to secure full points at home. If Auxerre wins they will be free from the relegation zone for a while and shift Brest's position.

I consider Auxerre the favourite. However, the performance of both teams has been poor in recent matches. Still I expect Auxerre to win the match. Because it is their home match. I consider Auxerre as the favorite because Auxerre has won the last three home matches against Troyes. And they played very well in every match. But the match is very important for both the teams. A win in this match is essential for both teams if they want to get out of the relegation zone.
