French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[zuzie]

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.

I don't really understand whether every club's failure in prestigious competitions is the coach's fault. Then what about a club like Paris Saint Germain who have never win the Champions League, for example, even after change coach?
Excess star players is also not always good for a team, it will actually create new problems with the team

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.

These two teams are in the relegation zone and are only two points apart. if one of these two teams wins the battle, it means that one of them will rank up. and if you refer to the first meeting, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. and if we refer to the statistics of these two teams, Auxerre is better than their opponent. in their last 6 matches, they have only lost once against Strasbourg, three times ended in draws and two matches they won.

Meanwhile, Troyes' statistics are very concerning. in the last 8 matches, they were only able to get 2 draws and the rest suffered defeats. well, on paper the home team is superior to this fight. plus, Auxerre has the advantage of playing at home. three points, is the result they must get to secure their position on the standings board.
Even so, IMO, this fight is difficult for me to predict. to be honest, I have no interest in betting on either team. plus, I don't know the odds for these two teams. but if I have to assume, this fight will end in a draw.

That's right, whoever wins will definitely be gasping for breath for a moment. But with the results of the winning record at home, Auxerre is indeed the favourite, but the chance for a draw is still open. I think Troyes will not sit idly by and for sure they will at least want to get a point to take home.



However if we look at the odds, Auxerre's chances of winning are quite reasonable and I think will bet on Auxerre's win.

Auxerre was not performing very well and on the other hand, Troyes never won the game in the last five games which can be a good reason to say Auxerre got a better chance to win this game in game but on the other hand, both teams in the same level and the odds e pretty much high for Troyes in this match so I guess betting on Troyes can be a good risk and 4.2 odd looks tempting or for me. Also the last time they faced each other they had a draw which can show us how close they are.

PSG are having a quite inconsistent season obviously. It is the same in the Ligue 1 as well. I know that they are still 7 points ahead of Marseille and maintaining their lead. However this can change anytime as well. Because PSG have made so many simple point losses until this time. Losing to Rennes in Parc des Princes is one of the best examples for that I assume. They must be out of patience with Galtier on one hand as well but I don't expect any action to be taken about that topic until everything is finalized for this season.

If PSG continue to lose points Marseille can still fire up the title rivalry again. But it depends on how consistent Marseille will be as well surely. They need to drop the loss of points to minimum as of now.

[herurist]

Interesting enough odds but I think it's a little tricky.
The reason Auxere is the favorite in this match is that it is clear that they are playing at home but in terms of performance and position now I think there is nothing special for them, especially with their current opponent, in fact, the position is quite close so the odds are quite strange actually.
I don't even dare to be in both in this match.

About the number of star players in the PSG team, I don't think it's a problem, because at least Real Madrid has proven it for a long time. So, if PSG is still not good at competitions other than Ligue 1 then at least, PSG still doesn't have a good coach, board and/or management to be able to unite the star squad it has.

Therefore, with so many star players in the PSG squad basically it's not a problem, because the problem is that PSG still doesn't have the right method to be able to form a better team for all the competitions it plays.

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 trphy
trophy

Problem is that Marseille ain't consistent either and for that reason I don't think that they can endanger PSG despite all of their problems. The best they can do imho is to defend that 2nd spot that leads directly  to Champions League and that's probably their goal now.

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...

I really hope for an easy Marseille win, but you never know with them. Despite Montpeiller not really needing this win, they are playing very good lately and won't go down easy. Still, Marseille is an obvious bet as they really need 3 points to keep at 2nd spot. Anyway, looking forward to the game tonight.

edit: Marseille already loosing 0:1  and not being very convincing in the first 15 minutes.

True, their chances are still there, but the question is how capable are they of catching up with Paris Siant Germain with their inconsistent play in winning. In fact, their chance to be above Paris Saint Germain has existed before now, even recently they only had a narrow margin, but in reality they were unable to surpass Paris Saint Germain in the standings, especially now where Paris Saint Germain only has chance in Ligue 1 alone to become champions.

The match has been going on for half an hour but Marseille still has not shown that they deserve to be the winner in this match. They certainly controlled the match, but how many chances did they seize this time? almost no. If they continued like this they would really lose to Montpellier. There is still plenty of time for them to change positions. So they have to take advantage of the time they have now.

[hahay]

It is certain that no team can overtake PSG, because a team like Marseille, which is in second place under PSG, is also difficult to be consistent. Also, in the ongoing match Marseille has been left behind by Montpellier with a score of 0-1 since the 13th minute.

Not only losing in the temporary score, because Marseille is also not playing well and the result is Montpellier as a team that is in the middle of the standings and is also an away team in this match. But the fact is that Montpellier really dominated the match and so, Marseille, which is the favorite to win, will likely fail because Montpellier can play well in this match.

The coach is the first person to be blamed when a team is not playing well, and it because it is his tactics and methods that the players go into the field with, the club owners cannot sack all the players in the club, it is not possible, but they can sack the coach who is only one individual. Though a club's failures is not only the coaches fault, but they are the ones that get sacked nevertheless. Psg's problem may be because of they have too many star players who are not following the coaches instructions and playing only for themselves, but now they have failed again to win the champions league, they may sack Galtier and only a few players will leave.

Marseille has lost there last two games out of five recently, so I was expecting them to respond in a positive way, I was very surprised when I saw the score that they where lossing 0-1 to Montpellier who are in 12 position in the League table. Marseille where lucky to get a penalty before the half time to equalise the goal, but I think Marseille really need a win in this game to bounce back to winning ways, it is not going to be easy for hem with the way they are playing at the moment, but I really hope they can turn things around in the second half.

[RealMalatesta]

I think it is not about who wins or who loses but who follows this up better. I mean the winner of this game would definitely be doing better for short period of time, but if you win this game and lose the next 3 games, whereas the other team loses this game and wins the next 3 games, then what's even the point?

This means that winner is not as important as consistency. We have seen PSG lose to many teams this season, and yet they are leading the league, why? Because they have been consistently good and rarely bad. Troyes looks to be consistently the same, and Auxerre doesn't look consistent, one day they are great, one day they are terrible, it's volatile just like crypto lol.

[Ratash]

Marseille are struggling against Montpellier and they are unable to get the three points, so far the secore is 1 1 and 20 minutes to go in the second half it seems that no team is hugely dominant the early goal by montpellier made it harder for marseille players because they found themselves behind in the score early in the game, if they fail to win their second position willl be in danger.

[execijutiere]

Marseille reduced their points difference with PSG by 1 point with a draw against Montpellier, the in-form team of the last few weeks. We can say that such a loss of points in the week that PSG will play against lyon has brought them to a level that will now take them out of the championship race. Marseille was the superior side throughout the match, but it must be said that they could not capitalize on the positions they found. Despite having 68 percent of the ball possession, they had 13 shots. The only goal they scored came from a penalty.

Marseille team is 2nd in the points table. Marseille is probably 6 points behind the PSG team. If Marseille could have secured victory in today's match then they could have added some points to get closer to PSG but as the match was a draw Marseille could not add points.

No, marseille just adding the gap to the PSG if psg will be winning the next match. I meant look at how many matches have already played by PSG. PSG is still has a match remaining to beplayer. That means if PSG will able to make the gap to be bigger by 2 more points. That is very very bad result for marselle was not even able to get full points against Montpellier. Marseille was dominating the match with almost 70% ball possessions and so many shots but only a few were on target.

that's very disappointing result from marseille. I expected marseille could play even better than it. Marseille played so badly in this match.

Montpellier was even making its goal in the 12th minutes. If marseille was not getting penalty and im sure marseille already lost against mont pellier. What a shitty game by marseille.

It is possible that the gap with PSG will be at 9 points after they play later, but the point is not there because with this result there is definitely a chance for Lens to catch up with Marseille now, especially 3 points at the moment their difference and Lens will also play tomorrow.
Even though it's a little difficult for Marseille actually because Rennes is still quite troublesome so far. But if they want to close the gap and shift Marseille's position this is the opportunity to take advantage of.

This is a very bad result for them, because they have droped another point, which now gives Paris Saint Germain the hope and confident that the league title is there's, because they are the favourite to win the league title this season, but with the way Marseille have be playing so far the season, they have be the only team that have be challenging Paris Saint Germain in the title race, but with there result lately, means they are now out of the title race and what they should be thinking about now is how to remember in the position they are for them to be able to qualify for champions League football come next season.

I was expecting Marseille to win this game, even if it was difficult, but it wasn't so. It's a pity that they didn't score, except for a penalty, despite playing dominant football. This shows what a sad situation Marseille are in. It is unacceptable for a team in the championship race to lose points in such a match. We can't say they played badly but we can't say they played well either. They just couldn't capitalize on the positions they found and unfortunately the game had to end like this.
