French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[BALIK]

With a contribution of 1 goal and 1 assist, Lionel Messi brought PSG to victory over their opponent Nice. Moreover, this was the victory that the Galtier squad had been waiting for after the poor results they had obtained in the last few matches. Throughout the match, Nice was actually quite ahead with 10 shots on target, unfortunately none of these opportunities turned into goals. An additional 3 points made PSG a little safe at the top of the standings with a total of 69 points, only 6 points different from Lens.

Even if PSG wins this match, I don't like their overall gameplay. I expected better performance from them. PSG had lost their last two matches before this match. But they still can't stabilize themselves. Only the coach can find the mistakes within the squad. PSG's performance is still poor. The team has become more dependent on Messi. PSG would not have won if Messi had not played well against Nice. I think they need to perform better if they want to win the Ligue 1 title. Also I would say their coach should be fired this season.

Really you are absolutely right, I think the current situation of PSG team is very bad. I think that if the current PSG players were in any other club, that club would have become one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. In a league like Ligue 1, a team with such a reputation as PSG doesn't see performances coming from them.

Finally psg team managed to win after two consecutive losses and it was against a tough team such as Nice this is the first time the home team lost since january and this means that Nice team will not be participating in a european competition next season unless they win the conference league.

It's almost impossible for Nice to participate in European cups. They played successful matches in the league in the last weeks, but they could not show enough performance. It would be a miracle if they won against PSG. It was expected and they lost 2-0. Now they can't save any more points because Psg wants the championship.

But in actual play Nice also did well, it's just that they had difficulty turning their chances into goals. Paris Saint Germain did not miss an opportunity to keep their distance from the team chasing them. If only they lose this match then it will open up even greater opportunities for the team that is currently chasing them. Paris Saint Germain lost the previous 2 matches, now they are back again with a win.

The reality is that, everything still depends on Messi and when Messi doesn't contribute goals in every PSG match which results in defeat, of course the fans will also boo him. However, as a football star, this is very reasonable for Messi to accept and I think he is also an ordinary human being who sometimes makes mistakes. But fortunately Messi proved his contribution through this match and at the same time silenced the PSG fans. I think Galtier's sacking is getting closer and I think we're still waiting on developments before the end of the season.

We often see things like this from Paris Saint Germain, that's why I often doubt them when they are in a more difficult competition than Ligue 1. Even if we look at their advantages and abilities, Paris Saint Germain has more than enough, but still it does not guarantee that they will be able to perform well in every game. I don't know if this is really the fault of the coach or the management of the club, what is clear is that I haven't been able to see anything extraordinary that they can show.

[Doell]

Ajaccio vs Auxerre, Auxerre away team is really impressive they can score two goals in under 10 minutes of the first half, and they are leading at the moment with a score of 0-2. I think it seems like this game is over because Ajaccio was really unlucky and they are really difficult to get opportunity for scored although at home, there is a possibility that Auxerre will be able to get another goal in second half.

I am personally not satisfied with PSG's performance. First of all, the team was badly kicked out of the Champions League. Also failed to perform very well in other leagues. Finally, in League One where PSG is considered to be the best team, PSG are failing to perform at their best.

[swogerino]

Paris was in need of the victory yesterday night and they got it,I don't care much about the performance in the last stages of the Ligue 1 as what they needed were the 3 points and they got them.Lens was coming extremely dangerous and it was only 3 points away before the game of Paris so now they are again 6 points away and Paris can have somewhat more peace of mind.

Tonight looks like an easy game for Marseille but Lorient is a team which plays well at home and the odd of 1.58 for Marseille seems a bit low to me,nevertheless I bet on them as they need to come to second place and they need the win also.

Ajaccio vs Auxerre, Auxerre away team is really impressive they can score two goals in under 10 minutes of the first half, and they are leading at the moment with a score of 0-2. I think it seems like this game is over because Ajaccio was really unlucky and they are really difficult to get opportunity for scored although at home, there is a possibility that Auxerre will be able to get another goal in second half.

The first half ended with a 3 goal advantage for Auxerre.
Quite surprised by the scheme that Auxerre did in the first half because seeing from ball possession they didn't really dominate too much but when they got an opportunity they didn't waste it.
I think now it's safe for them in the second half because at 0-3 it will be very difficult indeed for Ajaccio to make a comeback.

The current scores was 3-0 for Auxerre and seems they are in the comfortable positions because it's hard for Ajaccio to bouncing back and if Troyes can managed their performance until end of match they will got 29 points which mean 3 difference points above Strasbourg who in the relegation zone

For upcoming match Lorient vs Marseille i think Marseille had good chances to earn 3 points from Lorient because they are in the good shape and Marseille even still unbeatable for away matches since November last year with got 8 winning streak from away matches besides that from head to head statistics we can see Marseille is too strong for Lorient because they had got 5 consecutive wins in the last 5 meetings with Lorient and i think Marseille will got easy win today and the odds for Marseille is @1.58

In the match between Lorient and Marseille, I will put Marseille ahead. Because this team from Lorient is performing much better at present. I can absolutely predict that Marseille will win this match.

 didn't see much intensity in the French league this season. There is quite a decline in performance,  both from the top teams to those in the relegation zone.  French league is becoming weaker than before , for that I wouldn't expect more from a team like nice,  not to talk more of seeing them in Europe league. If they can't show strength in the French league how then will it be possible in European competition that is made of teams from different tough leagues. Even the conference league title will not be an easy task for Nice judging from the aforementioned reason.

Messi has problems performing well when everyone else also sucks, but I think that is normal. The reality is that he is the overall best scorer in Ligue 1 and he isn't the 40 goals per season guy anymore, he rather assists his teammates.



He is actually the best scorer by a distance. But I can still understand the fans to a certain degree as you would expect your team to win games 4-0 frequently and I see it the same way. There is a billion dollar team on the pitch and now they even see their Ligue 1 title at risk.

Marseille failed to shift Lens position because in the past match they only ended in a draw with Montpellier. in this match they have to fight hard to win from Lorient, we can see that Lorient is not the favorite team to win this match, their performances in the last few matches have been quite bad, my prediction is a 2-0 score for marseille's victory.

The match between Marseille and Lorient is highly predicted by many with Marseille winning for sure. One of the reasons for this may be that Marseille have been able to secure a huge victory in most of the matches these two teams have met before.

For upcoming match Lorient vs Marseille i think Marseille had good chances to earn 3 points from Lorient because they are in the good shape and Marseille even still unbeatable for away matches since November last year with got 8 winning streak from away matches besides that from head to head statistics we can see Marseille is too strong for Lorient because they had got 5 consecutive wins in the last 5 meetings with Lorient and i think Marseille will got easy win today and the odds for Marseille is @1.58

The head to head record can be a reference for Marseille match tonight, they on paper should be able to get a win and steal three points from Lorient. Also Lorient at home is not too consistent, even previously they lost vs Auxerre in February, if odds @ 1.58 for Marseille this is a worth it to bet and I think I'll agree that Marseille will win this match because they will also motivated to win, so they can stay close with Lens at standings.

[emrecemsan]

After Lens got a really decent win against Strasbourg and PSG did the same against Nice, Marseille have no other choice than winning against Lorient to be able to keep up with them. Marseille seem to be quite favourite side for winning this match according to bookies now. They beat Lorient home before as well. Moreover Lorient have had a really bad form for many weeks. This makes Marseille even more advantageous against them. Besides I can't say that Lorient have much chance for qualifying for a tournament.

But it isn't the same for Marseille. Because they are playing for the Champions League from now on. And who knows maybe they could get a chance for the title as well. I think Marseille will be prepared for Lorient and be victorious.

Recently, Galtier has often used the 3-5-2 system, especially in the last three matches in a row. fortunately, they were able to beat the home team Nice. yes, although in terms of performance it cannot be said to be better. but the fact is, they made it back to winning ways. in fact, Nice had several chances far more than PSG had. it's a shame, the Nice players weren't able to convert it properly and scored a goal. as a result, PSG again widened the gap in points from its competitors. 6 points adrift of the team below them, should have motivated Galtier's team to play even better. next week, we will see PSG host against Lens.

Tonight looks like an easy game for Marseille but Lorient is a team which plays well at home and the odd of 1.58 for Marseille seems a bit low to me,nevertheless I bet on them as they need to come to second place and they need the win also.

For this match, on paper Marseille is far more favored than the home team. after all, if we refer to the history of the H2H meetings between these two teams, Marseille has always dominated the victory over Lorient.
on the other hand, Lorient is in not so good form. from the last 5 matches, Lorient was only able to win 1 match, 2 draws and 2 defeats.  plus, they have several injured players. well, at least betting on Marseille is the ideal choice.

Marseille got only 60 points so far and there need three points to reach Lens in the second position of the table I'm sure after the recent wins they had in Lens they have to face PSG in the next game which can be a hard day for Lens and a good chance for Marseille to use this opportunity if they lose they point in the game against PSG.
