French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[kro55]

What is your prediction for the Paris Saint-Germain Vs Clermont match? Will there be a lot of goals in this match?

PSG is strong, but Clermont Foot is not a weak team.
So I have a lot of expectations from this match. I look forward to a competitive match and want to see a lot of goals. Whether Neymar, Messi and Di Maria will be able to play in this match is yet to be confirmed. This is very good news for Clermont if they don't perform in this match.

-snip- in my opinion lille this season is not as competitive as last season and it looks like it will be very impossible for them to maintain the ligue 1 cup this season.

No, the Ligue 1 title this season is not for them anymore. Becoming the reigning champions and breaking PSG's previous dominance will not guarantee them another title this season. I'm very sure PSG will get it back this season.

The last 5 matches between the teams have not been drawn. The disadvantages of Lille are that they concede a lot of balls and play badly on a foreign field. The advantages of Loriet are a very good game at home stadium. I think that Lorient will win this match or there will be a draw. Moreover, the Champions League is ahead and it is very important for Lille to play successfully in first match.

Today Jocelyn Gourvennec will carry a heavy enough burden to make his team win. This away game vs Lorient should prove that they deserve to be in the Champions League this season. Although I see their defense is very weak, but they can still be seeded today to win. 1-3 for a Lille win doesn't seem so impossible to me.

With the current PSG squad filled with many star players, I think it is very impossible for another team to be able to win Ligue 1 besides PSG, even without Messi, PSG is a team that has dominated Ligue 1 and we can see since they were buy by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) in June 2011, PSG transformed into a team that was able to win many domestic league trophies and now with their strong financial strength PSG is able to become a respected club in Europe.
In my opinion, Lille winning Ligue 1 last season was quite spectacular and of course we will need a long time to go back to seeing other clubs in Ligue 1 who can win in the future .

That got me thinking, where the fcks Financial Fair Play rules lol

well it seems the rules applied only to those who had no impact to the business .. PSG movement business and they produced a lot of money for them who created that FFP rules. shit why always about money.
Money wins it looks like in this century isnt? i just wish miracle did happened to the underdogs, its just normal if PSG win everything but not if the other teams did it.

Clermont is a new team this year to Ligue 1 as far as i see and are doing really good so far. But honestly who thinks that Clermont can make a surprise today. Even if they park the bus it dosent mean even that they will get at least a draw. PSG team is just having fun and conceded a lot of goals but how many they concede they will score twice the much.

PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 has been very visible in the last 10 years by winning 7 title. The team's performance has improved quite well after being bought by people with considerable financial strength. The finances of PSG's owners have turned them into one of the best team in the last 10 years and left many of the team that dominated before. I've also seen something similar happen with Manchester City which are both owned by wealthy owners. With so many top players at their disposal at the moment, PSG will have a great chance to dominate Ligue 1 for much longer. Unfortunately, they have never won the Champions League.

I just read a local sports news portal, and the news said that Messi & Neymar were threatened with missing playing with PSG against Clermont, This is very good news for Clermont. Even so, I still firmly believe that PSG will win very easily

There's no such thing as surprises in this game, PSG Will Definitely Win (IMO) But I quite appreciate the efforts of Clermont Until Week 4 of Ligue 1, they can be at the top of the standings without losing.

Maybe you can provide some details (for example, the reasons why they may miss the match) or provide a link to this news? I would be surprised at such an early stage of the season to hear about some serious problems in the team that would have gone right up to the missing matches by the leading players.

[BIT-BENDER]

Am not surprised what news agency and bloggers would do to make stories of Messi since he came to paris saint German, France. All Messi years at Barcelona he never had issues with coaches and board, except when necessarily he had to, I don't think Messi is in any issues with coaches or board at paris and it would be insane if he does this early, Messi scored a hat trick to become South America leading international goal scorer and even paris saint German with all their stars has to start him if he is available.

Lorient v Lille game is still going on and we are in the last ten minutes. Lorient seem like a really tough opponent for Lille and they have performed really well so far. They were the side that got ahead first. Burak Yilmaz is still doing great as he scored in this game also. But this game might end in a draw as there is a balanced game right now. Lille are having a really tough season now.

Argentina played today and Messi knocked Bolivia with 3 goals. Brazil also played its qualification game and Neymar scored a goal vs Peru. So no doubt they will not be ready for tomorrow's game vs Clermont regardless of any other circumstances.
BTW Lille game is almost over and the result is 1-1 draw vs Lorient. Red carpet for PSG this season for the title apparently.

Edit: Lorient 2 - 1 Lille, to make things even better

This Is The Reason @KTChampions, They Need Time To Refresh Themselves. Not only them, but even other Argentine players like Di Maria and Leandro Paredes also will not be played for the same reason

BTW Lille game is almost over and the result is 1-1 draw vs Lorient. Red carpet for PSG this season for the title apparently.

The game is over and Lorient is winning, I don't think they will lose, it should be the team that won last season they won't be that easy to beat by a weak team like Lorient. Even from Attack Status, They Lose.

Lorient 2 - 1 Lille

it seems that this season PSG life is very easy because Lilli is not doing well this season, I doubt they can even finish in the first 3 places, they only managed to have 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. for today's game they even had more possession, but they were the first to concede goals and only managed to tie the game thanks to a penalty. honestly I don't think they can finish in the top 3

Does anyone here doubt that PSG will easily win this game?

Lorient had a really solid performance that I thought Lille would be in a big trouble. And they really were after conceding the second goal. They are still struggling to get a win a lot now. It is not good to see them like this after achieving the league title. It looks like they may end the season out of the promotion zone to qualify for European tournaments. But it is still early to make such assumptions of course, I know that too.

It was a deserved win for Lorient if the stats are to be considered, I didn't watch the match but according to the statistics it would suggest that Lorient did put on quite a show to win the game.

Lille lost just 3 games over 38 matches last season, but have already lost 2 games in 5 matches already this season and they haven't played PSG, Lyon or Monaco.

PSG will likely be missing a numbers of their first team players, but they've got the huge squad depth to make up for the absentees, It might not be a relatively easy win, but I'll fancy them to get the job done regardless.

I think Lille won last season the title because they were lucky.As far as we see this season they cant do anything.Watched last few minutes of the Lille game and Lille was attacking and then they conceded a pretty stupid goal that must not happen to the actual Champion.

PSG game should be easy for PSG i honestly dont see them losing to anyone this season especially a mid table team.

There are no obstacles PSG must win easily but the odds look weird, is @1.28 worth it in your opinion ? PSG playing at home should odds no more than @1.1
Is it because Clermont has never lost so the bookies offer good odds   I hope there are no traps there, if you want to bet you should wait for the line-up to appear or monitor the match a few minutes before placing a bet.

The visitors have been excellent, they've converted and put goals at the back of the net of  there opponents net.
Messi and Neymar should do well to play,else Clermont will make good use of this opportunity and trash them very well.
Are they been relaxed for there Champions League ahead during the weekend.

[Kusman]

It looks like PSG can have a really comfortable season if the other biggest contenders for the title continue to struggle. Maybe this time, Marseille can be the closest team to fight for the title with PSG. They started the season quite well actually. Even if big teams like Monaco, Lyon and Lille pull themselves together, I think that they won't be able to keep up with PSG until the last week. After a point, PSG will pull away from most of the teams.

With Lille's defeat against Lorient, it has proven that what you say is true, that Lille the previous season won by luck. Because this season Lille
played very badly and even I was surprised by Lille's defeat against Lorient. Even though I predict that Lille should be able to beat Lorient,
in which head to head both Lille teams are indeed better. Then the previous season Lorient was only in 16th position, which is very far from
the position of Lille who won the Ligue 1 trophy. If we look at Lille's performance like this, it must be admitted that PSG will find it easier to
win the Ligue 1 trophy this season.

[ingiltere]

The game finished as I expected, Lille couldn't get the win and miss the draw in last minutes. I think we can say that last years dream is over for Lille, the league is still in its fifth week but they lost too many points. Only one win in five games is unacceptable for the last champion.
Today's game PSG will probably make it rain against Clermont. They are going without any point loss, I expect PSG win series to extend to fifth game. Clermont actually started pretty good with two wins and two draws but they will taste the loss today. Messi and other South American players will probably not play as they came late from national teams.
