French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[piebeyb]

indeed PSG's position is not safe. but I'm still optimistic that PSG can overcome the remaining 7 matches. if PSG gets a draw in all matches, it will only make things difficult for PSG. but I'm sure with PSG's performance it won't be possible.
let alone look at Marseille's opponents, who will still meet several strong teams. if you want to shift PSG, of course, Marseille must play very consistently and be a forum for 3 points in the remaining matches.

PSG is still in a safe position, 8 to 9 points away from PSG, of course this season is difficult for Marseille and Lens to chase the Ligue 1 championship, obviously it is a tough and impossible job, I think these two clubs just want to focus on staying in the top 4 to get a UCL ticket next season, it's impossible to see PSG lose more than 4 times in a row from the remaining 7 matches in this season because that would knock PSG out, but that obviously won't be possible because of course judging from the remaining 7 matches it doesn't look like there is a club what makes it difficult, PSG should be able to win the remaining 7 matches.

I believe PSG will win the league this season because it is clear they have no hunting targets in any other competition apart from Ligue 1 and it is impossible to be without any titles this season, their focus now is on winning the league and I believe they will get it

If we look at the teams that will be PSG's next opponent, it is indeed relatively easy, but they must remain vigilant with all possibilities. Especially if PSG have difficulty winning over these teams, so if they get a draw in some of these matches, of course it will be a loss. On the other hand, if Lens continues to get winning results then it will be a pretty serious threat to PSG's position in the standings. But what is clear is that we are still waiting for the final results until 2 or 3 weeks to determine the Ligue 1 title for PSG.

indeed PSG's position is not safe. but I'm still optimistic that PSG can overcome the remaining 7 matches. if PSG gets a draw in all matches, it will only make things difficult for PSG. but I'm sure with PSG's performance it won't be possible.

It is true that Marseille will face some strong teams, but as long as they are able to maintain their good form then it can be a serious concern for PSG. But if you look at the list of Marseille's next opponents, maybe there will be 3 teams that will be the obstacle, namely Lyon, Lens and Lille. Seeing this, it seems that finishing in the top 4 of the standings is the best thing for Marseille.

For PSG there is no doubt that they will see their opponents for the rest of the season, but I hope they can be more serious about winning every game and it will be a heavy responsibility for coach Galtier to close this season with the Ligue 1 championship trophy.

[jakdanyel]

I think the championship race is over now. PSG are in a very comfortable distance to their closest follower in the standings. I assume that they wouldn't make simple mistakes from now on too. At least they will finish the league as the champions but of course this isn't enough for PSG at all. The Ligue 1 is already in their hands for years so this isn't a big success for them honestly.

On the other hand there will be a tight race among Marseille, Lens and Monaco for the Champions League spots in the remaining time of the season. Marseille are ahead of all maybe but everything can change in a short time. Because the points are still very close to each other. Marseille are technically the strongest team among them considering player quality. But they aren't in a good form recently so they can't pull away from others after getting ahead.

[wmaurik]

I haven't seen Galtier being a perfect coach, if you say he has to be able to control the ego of each of his players, it should be quite a long time since he was appointed he should be able to improve relations between players. But until now the fact is that Paris Saint Germain is still the same as before which is still struggling with the selfishness of its players, I even think it has turned to its supporters.

If there is still selfishness in the players, PSG will not be more advanced in every season except for just getting a trophy in Ligue 1. Even though a team as big as PSG deserves to get a bigger trophy than that and also deserves to be reckoned with by other teams in different competitions and I think one of the things why PSG didn't get the UCL trophy until now is because this is something they haven't missing in the PSG team itself which should be very obligatory to eliminate.

[shogun47]

I think the red card was fair enough and the referee was right about the red card but Lens aren't lucky because they had to play with players less than PSG for more than 80 minutes, this can be even harder if you consider they are playing against a team with many superstar players like Messi and Mbappe, but if they were playing with the full team maybe they had a good chance to even beat PSG.

The red card is actually a big mistake from the player itself as he was making unnecessary foul that makes him got a red card. That match already happened and PSG was winning it. talking about that won't even change the situation. It means PSG is now having very big chance to take at least a single trophy from the french league. This is not even a special trophy caused by we did know how big the domination by PSG to the french league. That's very sad to see that my expectation to the lens gone wrong against PSG.
I thought that would be able to play carefully.

At least lens and marceille have chance to get UCL ticket for next season. This will be more than enough for lens and marseilla for this season. UCL is a very important tick for both of clubs.

PSG will be facing angers soon. Im sure that everyone can predict the result from the match correcting without even needed to see the formation of club. Angers is nothing now in the french league. It's on the relegation zone.
easy three points for PSG.

I think so too, the red card should have been avoided at all cost. Even if PSG isn't in their best shape these days, if you are down one man and you play in their stadium, what are the chances that you can still beat them afterwards? Now red cards can always happen and are sometime an unlucky circumstances. but PSG has shown what they can do if they accelerate their game against a team with one man down for just 10 minutes. The game was over in minute 40. No comeback would have ever been possible from there, but it is sad to see that the Ligue 1 got decided that way. I was hoping for Lens to make it, that would have been fire!

[Raflesia]

At least that was all they hoped for and when the previous 2 defeats actually felt awkward when they said they were focused but after that they returned to their performance by successfully scoring 2 wins in their last 2 matches this time.
But seeing the red card this week for Lens is actually a blessing for them because I'm pretty sure when they play with the same number of players this big is difficult to happen with PSG who are still a little bit not good for their attack line.

With PSG missing out on the Champions League platform, their only target now is the Ligue 1 title. Although PSG's performance in the two matches was poor, I am sure they will win the title. And they proved their mettle in the win against Lens.
Lens and Marseille are competing for the title with PSG. The lens is now 9 points behind PSG and Marseille is 8 points behind. I don't think it is possible for these teams to narrow the gap to 8/9 points. This season's Ligue 1 champions will be PSG. And I think PSG's points gap with other teams will increase in the upcoming matches.

For the title, there is actually no doubt about that because indeed from the start it was also convincing enough for them, regardless of whatever their problems were from the start, the difference in the quality of the players also contributed quite a lot and they will definitely be very comfortable for the title, but they do respond to the match. I actually feel that there will be something different if Lens plays with full players.

As for calm Lens and Marseille and other clubs for Ligue 1 they will not be able to do better than PSG and that is like a certainty for now and of course now Lens and Marseille are the ones who trouble PSG but that is only a follower not as a candidate for the championship.

Yes, maybe things would be different if one of the teams from Lens didn't get a red card, maybe it would even end in a draw, maybe.
But this has all been a decision for Lens to accept the fact that they lost against PSG with a red card.
Surely any fan who saw the match back then would have regretted seeing the match end so dramatically in Lens' defeat and even Lena fans might have been sorely disappointed.
This incident should make Lens even better for the upcoming match not to repeat the mistakes of the previous match.

[slapper]

I usually see Zidane's name whenever we are talking about a new coach for PSG I think if they want to hire another coach the best thing they can do is to hire Zidane because he can have a good performance there since he is French and he good experience working with superstar players when he was coaching Real Madrid that's why PSG won't have unbalanced situation anymore with Zidane.

Zidane has not even given a signal if he is interested in PSG. The possible thing for zidane to be a coach for the club based on the french league or serie a.
Zidane has also ever become real madrid's coach. Al nassr has been trying to sign zidane as a new coach to replace rudi garcia. The future of zidane still remains unknown this time. I will be waiting for further announcement from him.

It's quite hard to predict which club will be able to sign him as a new coach but his movement has been waiting by so many parties. Zidane is a phenomenal player in the football as well as manager.
Any news from him has been wating by so many parties.

Zidane is not the only candidate. The special one has been linked to the PSG too.

Zinedine Zidane has not hidden his dream and purpose as a football manager to one day manage the French national team and if you ask me, becoming the head coach at Paris Saint Germain at the moment isn't a bad idea because currently Didier Dechamps is contracted with the national team till the summer of 2026.
Paris Saint Germain is a club that is star studded like Zidane would want it and the owners of the club would still financially support him to get new players of his choice if he becomes the manager of the Paris club.

Zidane is a great guy both on and off the field. There have been rumblings about him taking over as coach at Paris Saint-Germain, but I honestly believe he would excel at any team. He has extensive coaching expertise at Real Madrid and is adept at working with superstar athletes.

I also heard rumors that he could eventually lead the French national team. That's a really sick idea. Zidane is a true legend in French football, and he certainly has what it takes to lead his team to victory.

But ultimately, the decision rests with him. All we can do is watch and see what he does

Yo, Zidane's a total G, on and off the pitch. I keep hearing rumors about him potentially coaching for PSG, but TBH, I reckon he'd crush it at any club. The dude's got mad experience coaching at Real Madrid, and he knows how to handle them big-name players.
I also caught wind of the idea that he might helm the French national team down the line. How sick would that be? I mean, Zidane's a straight-up icon of French football, and he's got the skillz and savvy to steer the squad to glory.
But when it comes down to it, it's his call. We'll just have to wait and peep what he decides

If Zidane is PSG's coach, I believe we will see PSG in the semi-finals of the Champions League next season. Zidane is a very experienced coach. And PSG desperately needs an experienced coach like Zidane. PSG management has a lot of money. They are spending a lot of money every season. Even then they are not playing well in the Champions League. I believe PSG's performance will stabilize if Zidane becomes PSG's coach. But this is still a rumor. Zidane has not yet said anything about whether Zidane will coach PSG.

Losing one man is enough to change everything. When a club must have played with less than 11 players and that will give opportunity to its opponent to fully controlling the ball. The fact that if a club that was playing with 10 players must have tried even harder compared with a team that played with the full team. That's why i call that if losing a player is a big mistake by lens. that was making the club to lose against PSG while it really needs to catch up PSG.
PSG is now having a very big gap to the lens right now, it's not possible anymore for lens to win french league this season. The rest of the match gonna be an easy match for PSG. Lens has no chance to compete with PSG right now.
Congratulation for PSG caused by it has been winning the league. The only trophy that can be achieved by PSG under galtier this season. it's likely we will be seeing PSG with another coach in upcoming seaason.

It depends on the overall circumstances. If PSG loses a player, they are probably still alright and still the favorite to win the game at home, but if you have this chance to get very close to PSG in the table standings and then you receive a red card in an away game, it is game over.

Also I don't know how the PSG players feel these days and whether they are still excited about the rest of the season. No more Champions League and no more Coup de France, but all of these stars are used to playing for the biggest titles until the very end. There must be a lot going on behind the scenes at PSG. Finding a new coach, finding new strong players etc. The next season is probably bringing about a lot of changes for the club.

Sounds like PSG always have better condition than their opponent in any circumstances. Sounds like they have a 12th player which is a referee who support their team to win any match. I don't know about their 12th player but I do agree with you that PSG simply are considerable stronger than other clubs in Ligue 1 and they have very deep player resource so that they can cover absence of one or two star players with their star substitutions who are always ready on their bench.

Also I don't know how the PSG players feel these days and whether they are still excited about the rest of the season.

I think their players are thinking more about summer holidays and summer transfer. They do know that PSG will have big reshuffle in their squad after this failed season in Champions League. Many old players will face with no agreement from PSG to sign a new contract and some will be sold to other clubs when PSG want to strengthen their squad with younger players.

As the opening game this week, Angers will host the leaders PSG. Seeing the chances of who will win later, it is clear that everyone will favor PSG to win. So far Angers has had a bad record with only 1 win in the last 5 matches they have played and statistically head to head it is very clear that PSG has always been ahead with wins since 2018, this record is very unlikely to be broken by Angers. Looking at the odds offered by the bookie, maybe betting for PSG's win is certain but if you want to get more decent odds then we have to bet using a handicap of at least (-1.5) to get good odds around @1.70 so I will use this betting option to bet on PSG win later.

Angers has had a bad performance recently, there is no doubt that PSG will win this match, even in the H2H these two teams are completely dominated by PSG, it is noted that out of their last 15 meetings, Angers has always lost.

Looking at the odds offered by the bookie, maybe betting for PSG's win is certain but if you want to get more decent odds then we have to bet using a handicap of at least (-1.5) to get good odds around @1.70 so I will use this betting option to bet on PSG win later.

For some reason I think that choosing -1.5 for PSG is an unwise choice, it could just be because of Angers' recent poor performance that they are motivated to improve their performance when they face PSG later, moreover this match will be their home game.

it is predictable who will win this match and of course PSG is superior to Angers. from H2H history PSG is indeed superior but, don't take too much risk in betting on this match because there are always surprises in every football match and the match will take place at home to Angers which could possibly be a draw.
the best option to get an advantage in this match is better to choose PSG or draw it will be safer in my opinion.

however, it is unlikely that Angers will be able to withstand the strength of PSG's two leading players, Messi and Mbappe. these two players are lions in PSG who are very ferocious and difficult to stop.
Messi and Mbappe always have a way of finding loopholes to score goals against the enemy's goal.
at least if Angers wants to be strong it's better to use a defensive formation which will be better for strengthening their defense.

[Freeveto]

maybe in yesterday's match if the Lens player didn't get a red card maybe the score would have been different. because we know that it is impossible for Lens to play well when only 10 players are very difficult to beat PSG.
while the red card for the Lens player made PSG players have a gap to get more goals and get more points and gave a point distance that was a bit far from the team under PSG.
I think it's difficult for Lens and Marseille to catch PSG's points. because PSG still has mainstay players like Messi and Mbappe who can make this PSG team a winner in league 1.

Lens were unlucky in that match against Parish Saint German, it is true that PSG had 55 percent chances of winning the match but In football anything can happen, and from the performance of lens this recent time, no one can beat his chest and predict PSG winner of that match untill lens were reduced to 10 men due to red card to S.  Abdul Samed as early as 19 minutes of the match. Had it been that lens won in that match, they would have been 3 point below PSG giving them more hope in the title race, but revice was the case, PSG is now leading with 8 points clear. That's much hope for PSG.

Angers is not a team that is comparable to Paris Saint Germain in terms of strength, even in appearance they have significant differences. The only thing that can make the Angers win in this match is luck, even a draw is very good for them at this time. Paris Saint Germain are the clear favorites on paper, so they shouldn't be struggling.

Angers have nothing to play for because they are almost relegated. Their performance this season didn't show that they can remain in League One. PSG will use this natch to extend their points to eleven points above Marseille. PSG have had a disappointing season because of their inability to go further in the Champions league which has made winning the league a top priority.

Lens were unlucky in that match against Parish Saint German, it is true that PSG had 55 percent chances of winning the match but In football anything can happen, and from the performance of lens this recent time, no one can beat his chest and predict PSG winner of that match untill lens were reduced to 10 men due to red card to S.  Abdul Samed as early as 19 minutes of the match.

Samed tackle against Hakimi was reckless and deserved a straight red card. The red card was the determinant of the outcome of that game. The Lens team had to struggle to curtail the advantage PSG Samed handed over to them. But the Lens players deserve some praise because even with ten men they were able to put up a good fight. Maybe they will keep their champions league hope alive when they play against Monaco on Saturday.

Angers, a team that is almost 90% going to be relegated this season. in the 31 matches they played, they were only able to win 3 times, 5 of which ended in draws, the rest were defeats, which in the end, they are at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings. This week, Angers will face the team at the top of the standings. It should be an easy match for us to predict. in fact, it's hard to imagine that the fight will end in a draw.

Well, what you say is the ideal option to bet. because, if we bet on the 1×2 option, the odds available are not ideal. but if you have a feeling that PSG will beat Angers, the ideal option is to bet on over 3 goals. if it's not ideal for you, you can bet on the handicap option with a difference of 1.5 or alternatively, 1 3/4. it's just that, PSG must at least score 2 goals, if more it is an advantage. well, the question is, will PSG be consistent, if so then victory must be theirs.

[Leviathan.007]

I haven't seen Galtier being a perfect coach, if you say he has to be able to control the ego of each of his players, it should be quite a long time since he was appointed he should be able to improve relations between players. But until now the fact is that Paris Saint Germain is still the same as before which is still struggling with the selfishness of its players, I even think it has turned to its supporters.

If there is still selfishness in the players, PSG will not be more advanced in every season except for just getting a trophy in Ligue 1.

Whenever you have a team full of superstar players, you will have to try hard about having balance in your team because any player thinks he is the legend and he is the most important player in the team, for example in PSG they have a player like Messi and who will never accept a player like Mbappe.
