French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

Strasbourg - Lyon will be played tomorrow with odds that aren't that far so quite interesting. Lyon are favourite and Strasbourg have the home advantage.
Clermont - Reims is the second game that seems to be quite difficult to guess in Ligue 1 this round. Reims are slightly advantageous otherwise in the other matches there is a clear favourite as I see.

The bookie provided interesting odds for the match Strasbourg vs Lyon

Strasbourg @2.65
Draw @3.10
Lyon @2.60

After seeing these odds obviously there were no favourite team in this match seems although Lyon probably stronger than Strasbourg but the bookie still give high odds for them but indeed last week Lyon weren't just lucky because if Malo Gusto wasn't made own goal in the last minutes of second half probably Lyon will be able to stole 1 point from Marseille

Strasbourg recent performance looks very impressive that 2 times streak win results were makes their chances to avoiding relegation zone is wide open and Lyon have to be careful to Strasbourg because their motivation to earn points from this match is quite good and with their conditions probably Strasbourg will be able to stole point from Lyon and seems draw result could be good picked for this match

Looking at the odds there doesn't seem to be any difference at all and I think it looks like the match will end in a draw for both teams. Strasbourg still need additional points to stay away from the relegation zone and Lyon they are trying to close Rennes in the standings. It's a difficult match to predict, but I think Lyon have a slight chance of winning this game.

But had Strasbourg taken an early lead through the first half that would have meant a win for Lyon, they would have tried to equalize in the second half and would likely have ended in a draw with both teams scoring goals. I don't think there will be many goals scored in this match and I would prefer to bet under 2.75 goals with odds @1.65 which is good enough to make money.

The Champions League can't just depend on one player. even though messi is a sensational player but depending on Messi in the Champions League and blaming him when he fails is a condition that is quite childish I think.
This requires team harmony and not just an individual thing when it comes to bigger competitions.

A team must work together which will produce perfect results.  relying on one player is not very good let alone blaming him when he fails to advance to the next round. lionel messi has given all his best strength for psg this season and failure in the champions league certainly can't blame him.

psg must try to be even better next season in the champions league they need performance and coaches who have long experience in the champions league so that when they meet a strong team in the champions league they can cope with a strategy from a coach who is able to give tough resistance to his opponents.

That's an important point, but in this case the fans from PSG, some don't understand things like that, even though it can be said that this is the first thing that must be realized.
There is nothing wrong in Messi's game and it is proven now that he is the top assist for the domestic league.
Desires are higher and expectations are too high to make the fans expect too much for Messi here which makes it a little tricky when the expectations do not line up with what was expected.

However, if we can talk about something else, do you think Lionel Messi will leave PSG in this season's transfer? Because I think Lionel Messi could not make any new records in his career after joining PSG. Besides, the teams from the big leagues have been knocked out.

A player like Messi got enough respect in any team he played and he usually gets enough support from both players and the fans after Messi left Barcelona for PSG he couldn't get enough respect and he can't have enough focus on the game, that's why I think he is going to leave PSG to another team at the end of this season.

[maju69]

Fans' expectations for Messi are quite high and when he is unable to fulfill that of course there is a feeling of disappointment and in my opinion that is very natural because during his 2 seasons with PSG there was not much contribution he was able to make to improve PSG's performance on the European stage and when compared to Messi's performance With Barcelona, of course, it can be said that Messi's performance for PSG was a little bad.
I think if Messi leaves PSG then it will not have a big effect on PSG's performance, especially on the front lines.

How is it possible that Paris Saint Germain fans don't have high expectations for Lionel Messi, who we know is one of the star players. Supporters expected more from Messi's performance, but what happened was that Messi was not up to it, especially in his first season when he came to Paris Saint Germain. Now their relationship is not good, and create disharmony.

As PSG are comfortably closing in on the end of the season in the Ligue 1, the biggest question now is: What actions they will take for next season?  Because they still can't meet all the expectations by the board. PSG are expected to win the Champions League title while they have a great squad like this. But they didn't make the right decision with bringing Galtier to manage the team.

Because didn't have a single experience with a huge team like PSG before. This was a big risk for the team while they had big goals to achieve. Their plan didn't work out as we see it now. I think that PSG will start with replacing him with a trustworthy manager. After this, their problems won't have finished. Because they are on the verge of losing Messi and Neymar in the same transfer window.

In that case they will need to find two new strong members to the team who can get along well with Mbappe. They have been interested in Kane already. What do you think? Can they sign Kane while there are other big candidates at the same time?

It is true that the problems facing PSG will be even more complicated for next season because of the possibility that they will lose two important players in the transfer window. On the other hand, the role of the coach is indeed very important to build a team, but I think Galtier cannot live up to PSG's expectations and I think it's better to find a new coaching candidate immediately before sacking Galtier for next season.

On Harry Kane he's a phenomenal player, unfortunately he's been at the wrong club for so many years and has yet to taste a title in any competition. I think if Kane is interested in PSG's big chance of winning Ligue 1 then he should have accepted an offer from PSG. On the other hand, Kane's transfer fee is not cheap, but with PSG's capabilities they were able to sign him.

Today strasbourg will be facing lyon at home, they are close to the relegation zone so any wasted points today might allow brest and nantes to pass them, their game will be tough since lyon also has to win in order to get close to the top five lyon is in a great shape recently despite the last loss against marseille so i don't think they will lose, both teams has a great attack so btts might be a good bet.

The Marseille team managed to put up a remarkable performance against Lyons. The team's attacking players are showing great improvement. However, the Lyon team tried to equalize the match, but the outstanding performance of the Marseille team's defense resulted in the Lyon losing the match.

[MAAManda]

So, do you think Lyon will have an easy win in their game against Strasbourg this week? I don't think so, here are the reasons:

1. In their last 2 meetings, Lyon didn't win (3 points), they only managed to get 1 point from a draw from those 2 matches. Even in the first meeting of the league, when Lyon played at home, they lost to Strasbourg with a score of Lyon 1 - 2 Strasbourg. The upcoming match is an away match for them, at this point do you still think they will win?

2. Regarding the betting market, Lyon is indeed more favored here, but did you know that if you choose Lyon you will get big odds (more than 2)? Usually when a team is almost certain to win a match, that team will get very small odds. On Rollbit itself, if you choose 2 for the 1X2 bet now, you will get @2.42, big odds right?

You are right in the past record, but Lyon did not manage to draw against Strasbourg, they were unlucky that they didn't win.  Lyon played better than Strasbourg.  Past records are good but sometimes things do change.  Betting on Strasbourg to win because of the aforementioned reason is also a bet on the wrong horse. It is Very risky if one is to just also from the position in the stand,  and Lyon is currently on a good form than them. One cannot confidently bet on any side to win this match.

It's better to avoid betting on this match, it is a wise choice, because there are many doubts, it's true that Lyon has the advantage from any side, but considering the history of the meeting is also very important. What's more, Strasbourg is currently struggling to get further from the relegation zone, they currently have 32 points, the same points are also owned by Brest who are ranked 17th (relegation zone).

It was a very enjoyable match. Lyon team had 61% of the ball possession but they attacked less. On the other hand, from the beginning of the match, Marseille played attacking strategy in this match. Marseille had a total of 14 shots with just 39% ball possession. Where Lyon players made only 7 shots. Marseille deserved to win this match. Marseille's performance was much better than Lyon's.

Even though Strasbourg and Lyon have a wide gap in points, but Lyon is not fully projected to win in the away match against Strasbourg. But indeed, even though Strasbourg is close to the relegation zone, Strasbourg also has a performance that cannot be underestimated because Strasbourg can sometimes play well when playing against a team whose position in the standings is above Strasbourg.

I agree, betting for both teams to score could be a good option, because Strasbourg and Lyon have good ability to score goals. So yes, I hope your bet can give good results too, because it looks like Strasbourg and Lyon do have a good chance of having their own goals in this match.

I personally prefer to see the regeneration they do, we all know that until now Paris Saint Germain's priority has been to bring star names to be in the squad, but the results they got were the same as the previous season. I know they have good financial ability to be able to bring in star players, but in my opinion it's useless because until now they haven't been able to talk more about the Champions League. They haven't tried to develop potential young seeds, and they can do it now. One more thing, they have to bring in a coach who has a myriad of strategies to demonstrate.

Today strasbourg will be facing lyon at home, they are close to the relegation zone so any wasted points today might allow brest and nantes to pass them, their game will be tough since lyon also has to win in order to get close to the top five lyon is in a great shape recently despite the last loss against marseille so i don't think they will lose, both teams has a great attack so btts might be a good bet.

On paper, Lyon is more favored in this match, even in standings Lyon is far above the standings from Strasbourg. But Strasbourg will play home games and play at home, so that will be a better motivation for them to win the game. The hosts are also in a good morale after they won the match in the last 2 matches. Lyon brings the target of victory to be able to reduce the distance from rank 5 in the standings at least, so they really need a win.

I think that he doesn't even wanna try to blame messi but he was only pointing out how good the performance from messi. PSG fans booing caused by they disliking something from messi. messi already decided to leave from the club and move back to the barcelona again. That means if messi will not stay even longer in the PSG. The problem is barcelona has not finished yet with its financial problem.

Neymar had the same problem like messi which under conflict with some players even the club itself. There might be a reason why the fans of PSG were blaming him.
It may be related with something that we didn't know about.
So many negative news has been reported by france media regarding messi with PSG fans.

Well, if we refer to the statistical rating, the only player who has been the most consistent this season is Messi. To be honest, I don't defend Messi because he doesn't need to be defended. but what he has given PSG this season, is much better than last season. in fact, he is one of the most consistent if we compare Neymar or Mbappe. unfortunately, the expectations of PSG fans are too big on Messi.

Maybe, they are disappointed because Messi doesn't look as spartan as when he played with his Argentina national team. Unfortunately, the fans don't look at the other factors. because in a game, teamwork is needed. if you only hope for a Messi, it is impossible. in fact, PSG's problems have appeared since the beginning of the season. one of them, like you said. Clashes between players occur in the locker room, thereby disrupting the chemistry between players on the pitch. it's a shame, Galtier isn't strict with his team. also, it lacks the patterns and systems that it could rely on. well, this season is coming to an end. what is certain, before Messi leaves he will still defend PSG until he wins the League trophy. Furthermore, it is likely that Messi will return to Camp Noe. Although to be honest, I still doubt it.

Lyon vs Strasbourg is going to start soon. Lyon would want to win this match. Actually, they have to keep winning because I still believe they have a chance to finish in the top 5 even though it is looking really unlikely. Strasbourg is actually showing improvement in recent times. It is actually going to be very important for them to win this match or at least draw.

The reason is they have the same points which the first team in the relegation zone has. They will have to get ahead from the 32 points that they currently have. Overall both teams will need a win in this match. But I believe Lyon is certainly the better team going into this match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Lens, as well as all the Ligue 1 teams, have to take advantage of the bad Moment that PSG is going through because it is the opportunity for them to catch up with them, they have Ney injured and they have Messi and Mbappé who are leaving, so all that Tension makes the players not do well on the field, I think that this time the Sheikh got out of hand the tremendous team that he put together at one point to be the one that won many Championships, including the UCL, which is what they Want more, for now what the teams have to do is play to win and give everything.

This game was a good performance for Lens to decrease the gap with PSG while they couldn't use the chance tonight against this game, I think the reason of why we saw Lens lose this game was the first minutes of the game when they got a red card and they had to play with 10 players instead of full team, while in the second half, PSG had a much better performance which can be a good reason to say the deserved this win.

This match was very important for Lens. Because they were fighting for PSG's title. And if PSG manages to defeat the team in this match, Lens' points gap with PSG will decrease. And the road to the title would have been a little easier for Lens. But Lens failed completely. PSG's attack performed well in this match. Messi and Mbappe both managed to score. Mbappe even had an assist. If PSG can continue this kind of performance, then their performance will be more stable in the future. And the PSG team will definitely win the Ligue 1 title.

Well, to tell the truth, PSG has a very easy path,but any team at the moment if it intends to Damage its path can do it, LENS, Marseille are teams that can make a difference in these cases, but of course PSG with all they have to do to Maintain their status I think that at this Point they won't let anything else affect them, however now they have to get in tune so as not to lose it, but let's remember, in football lately many surprises are happening and not there is something to trust.



In another order of ideas:

Mbappé and Messi move clear in the scoring and assists charts

The Paris Saint-Germain duo lead the goal maker and goal takers' charts in the French top flight.

Paris Saint-Germain's third successive Ligue 1 win at Angers on Saturday kept them eight points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table with six games to play, and also gave Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi the opportunity to move clear at the top of the French top-flight's individual scoring charts.

Indeed it is as you say, for me one of the Reasons why things can improve is so that he can put Himself in a good position, however,at the beginning of Ligue 1 I had a lot of faith in Lyons, Marseille, Lille, but They were matches where they received defeats after defeats, so this Marks a bit of disappointment for the fans, Something that doesn't add up,but I would like to see this team in the UCL to see how they perform, from what I know Things can be done very well if you put your mind to it, in UCL the Teams play much Better than in their own local leagues,I don't know why, but it's like they Grow bigger.

Supporters expected more from Messi's performance, but what happened was that Messi was not up to it, especially in his first season when he came to Paris Saint Germain. Now their relationship is not good, and create disharmony.

I want to correct it a bit. What are your benchmarks that make you think Messi can't pull it off?
We know Lionel Messi is not the only star player at Paris Saint Germain, he is not even the only talented striker in the team. Lionel messi does not get a priority place in the team, coach Christophe Galtier often uses Messi to help other strikers like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar
So I think in this case the problem is only in the given opportunity

Marseille was lucky during this game because they were about to lose two important points against Lyon and one mistake from Lyon players in this match gave full points to Marseille, so they have one point more than Lens which is really close and one single mistake from Marseille is enough for Lens to take the second position of the table again.

When it comes to a manager choice for PSG I think the best option is Zinedine Zidane and I bet most people are thinking in the same way with me. There would be a really great combination between him and PSG in my opinion. Because he is a French legend and he can seriously evaluate the possibility of signing for the biggest team of his nationality to help their unachieved goals to come true.

But there are two speculations about this recently:

- Zidane might return to Real Madrid after a great journey he had before to have a good run once again.
- He might prefer PSG over them to make himself a bigger challenge to help PSG win the Champions League title finally.

Strasbourg  1-2  Lyon

Lyon team is leading 2-1 against Strasbourg at the end of the first half. After the defeat against Marseille in the last match, they will be looking to win by any means in today's match. And so Lyon's players are performing very carefully today from the beginning of the match.

Lyon scored only 11 minutes into the first half but the goal was disallowed. And they conceded a goal after just 4 minutes. Despite conceding the goal, Lyon's players did not lose confidence. They scored their first goal in the 32nd minute and Caqueret scored another just 4 minutes later to give Lyon a 2-1 lead. Hopefully, Lyon's performance will be more composed in the second half and they will be able to successfully counter Strasbourg's attacks.

[Awaklara]

Strasbourg  1-2  Lyon

very few chances existed in the first half from both teams. Lyon went 2-1 up which they did pretty well. made 3 shots on target and 2 became goals. Strasbourg seemed a little surprised by Lyon's first goal. and that left them a bit unfocused and ended up conceding another goal 3 minutes later.
in the second half, if you do not want to lose, Strasbourg must improve their game. both played discipline, but Strasbourg had to play more aggressively if they were to win.

Hopefully, Lyon's performance will be more composed in the second half and they will be able to successfully counter Strasbourg's attacks.

Lyon lost 1-2 at home against Strasbourg. Lyon will probably avenge the previous defeat in today's match. I expect Lyon to win because I bet on Lyon in this match. Lyon plays defensive tactics but they can make excellent counterattacks. Strasbourg's defense on the other hand has been one of the weakest this season. Strasbourg's defenders are unlikely to fare well against Lyon's experienced attack. With all this in mind, I decided to bet on Lyon winning. Hope this team doesn't let me down today.
