French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[KTChampions]

It's true that this was an easy match for PSG, even this time Messi couldn't do anything even though he was in the starting line-up and played full time. But Mbappe again proved his worth by scoring a brace and he will surely go on to score goals to win the golden boot award this season.

On the other hand, coach Galtier is trying a new formation for PSG with a 3-4-3, he has used defenders 3 times and it seems it is going quite well. Maybe he also doesn't want to mess around because Neymar is still injured so he's trying to find a new strategy using that formation. The Ligue 1 title for PSG this season seems to be getting closer and they really deserve it.

Against such an opponent, PSG can play any scheme and still win.
It's funny that even though Mbappe scored another double, he still hasn't guaranteed a place as the top 1 scorer in Ligue 1 - Lacazette is only one goal behind and could well overtake him.
By the way, according to Goal.com, Messi was the worst in PSG and received only 4 points from them (Mbappe was the best who received 8 points)

PSG secured an impressive 5-0 win that would seal their title. PSG are far ahead in the points table due to their good performance in the match. PSG players showed enough good play to win the match. Ashraf HaKim in particular played well enough and was later sent off with a red card for a foul. And Kylian Mbappe's performance was very attacking, he scored two goals in the match, had a chance to score a hat-trick but unfortunately couldn't. PSG is at the top of the points table with 81 points. If they can win the next match the way they have won this match, they will be guaranteed to be champions.

no wonder PSG managed to score 5-0 when playing against Ajaccio. PSG is already guaranteed to be the champion after successfully reaching the top of the standings dominating with more points and it is difficult for other teams to chase.
on the other hand I want to say that PSG's performance is very good without Messi and this proves that PSG doesn't need to waste too much money just for Messi while Mbappe is capable of bringing the PSG team to be champions.

Ajaccio is a team they are fighting near the danger zone and comparing PSG they don't have famous players, just after the game started PSG had an attacking style and they scored the first goal in less than 30 minutes. In the first half of the game Ajaccio had only one chance to score a goal and they didn't even have a corner kick, I was not expecting to see anything other than this.

Ligue 1 have start first match last night and Paris Saint Germain have get first lost in this season from Lens, I think how ever the result match between Lens vs PSG always have chance for PSG become the champion of Ligue 1, they have good team and many star player on their team like Neymar, Di Maria and Mbape. Right now their player have injured after getting covid 19 and miss more than two weeks later, after Neymar confirmed keep on playing with PSG I think give good result for PSG to be champion in Ligue 1.

I am sure that PSG team will secure this year's League One title. Because there is no other big team that can beat PSG in League One. However, even if PSG secures the league title, I think the team will not be successful because they are not doing well in the league like the other Champions League.

That's why PSG needs to have new players who have more potential to be able to bring PSG into the CL championship at least reach the final, Messi and Neymar can't be relied on, even though they have great players they still always fail in CL, but talking about the league PSG will definitely win it easily because there are no serious competitors in league one, even their competitor Lens has a 6-point difference between PSG, so there is no difficulty for PSG to win league one.

PSG needs a lot of changes next season so they can become an even better club than this season, at least being able to penetrate the CL final has made good progress, I hope they really make a lot of changes and reforms to their players.

Messi can't be relied on. The guy wins the World Cup final, scores the second most goals, is the best scorer in Ligue 1 with goals and assists and your judgment is that he cannot be relied on. I mean everyone is free to have their own opinion. Do you think that the Norwegian national team should kick out Haaland because they are not winning the World Cup because Haaland cannot be relied upon?

Now Hakimi wants to leave PSG. They are facing a wave of players leaving the club I think. This could lead to drastic changes in the squad that will be available for next season. Hakimi won't be the only one.

Absolutely right Ashraf Hakimi is performing very badly. After joining PSG, Ashraf Hakimi did not perform well in the defense line-up. Several players need to be replaced at PSG. More defense and midfielder changes have become very useful nowadays.

The tight competition between Marseille and Lens is still continuing now for the second place in the league table. Lens got a really important win over Reims despite being shown a red card. It was such an amazing dedication example by Lens there really. Because they got the red card very early in the game and they even conceded a goal after that. But this was still no hindrance for them to fight hard and win by a great comeback to 2-1.

This dedication really deserves this place in my opinion. I know that Marseille have also fought well so far and they have been even my favourite for this place. But they started to make a little more mistakes than Lens lately. Maybe today they have a very comfortable game to win but Lens will still be ahead of them by a 2-point gap.

Besides Lens have already proven that they are actually better than Marseille this season. Because they beat Marseille twice.

Ajaccio is a team they are fighting near the danger zone and comparing PSG they don't have famous players, just after the game started PSG had an attacking style and they scored the first goal in less than 30 minutes. In the first half of the game Ajaccio had only one chance to score a goal and they didn't even have a corner kick, I was not expecting to see anything other than this.

It's a common thing for PSG win with so many scores against ajaccio. Ajaccio has made 2 shots on target combined with 27% ball possession. that makes sense to call that if ajaccio was losing against PSG. The gap is very big between two clubs. It doesn't make sense if PSG will be losing against ajaccio caused by PSG has so many superstars on its team. Galtier must have seen its club to win at least a farmer title this season before he will be leaving from the club soon. PSG needs to rebuild its team to be UCL level.
As you can see that many stars already bought by PSG but it'snot even enough to make the club to go to the semi final. The coach shall be replaced. that's it.
It's the only way for PSG to build the team to be even better.

[rendravolt]

An extraordinary victory from Rennes after successfully defeating the guest Troyes with a landslide score of 4-0 without reply. Since the early minutes Rennes dominated the match with 67% possession and Troyes could only get 33%. Actually there was only 1 goal in the first half and I think Troyes will at least catch up in the second half.

However, it seems that Troyes' defense was so bad that this opportunity was put to good use by the Rennes players to score 3 additional goals and at the same time secure full points at home. Now Rennes is in 5th position with the same points as Lille, these two teams are only a goal difference away.

Even if PSG loses a few matches in Ligue 1, the team will not have any major problems. Because PSG are many points ahead at the top of the points table. To beat PSG, many teams will have to perform exceptionally well and it is never possible.

Marseille vs Angers

The loses from Lens last week makes Marseille lost 2nd position but they still have good chances to take last spot for champion league zone if Marseille playing more consistent and today they will get easy opponent Angers and this team have already to relegated so Anger don't have any target anymore because whatever the results which they get today it wouldn't change their position on league standings

Angers so far have conceded 74 goals from 34 matches and these records has been showing they are the weakest defense team in Ligue 1 and Marseille has odds @1.18 this is low odds indeed but i have no wonder because Angers is so weak this season and their losing percentage for every matches is very high because so far Angers have lose 26 times but considering this team has poor defense i think over 3 goals also good option because in my opinion it's not hard for Marseille to win with 2 goals margin or more and over 3 goals has odds @1.62

Angers is the team that will be relegated this season, this team is the most chaotic team compared to all the teams competing in Ligue 1. we can't explore and discuss much about this team, in fact they are the second team that has conceded the most goals  in his 34 matches.

On the other hand, Igor Tudor will target his team to get full points over Angers to stick tightly to Lens in 2nd place.  and hope, Lens slips in the rest of the game.  that way, Marseille can return to second place and ensure qualification for the Champions League next season. in this match, it seems that Marseille will play with a full squad even though their opponent is not a superior team. however, the status of Alexis Sanchez is doubtful whether he will start or not. even so, it seems that there is no significant obstacle for Marseille who are playing as the home team.

Well, because the chances of Marseille are so low it's not ideal at odds @1.17. ideally, we could choose another option. or, a -2 handicap option at odds @1.75. it could also be with more options, on condition, Marseille must score 3-0. or with the Over 3.25 goal option with odds @ 1.83. but it seems that choosing the handicap option is the ideal choice, at least Marseille will score 2 goals.

Now Rennes is in 5th position with the same points as Lille, these two teams are only a goal difference away.

Big win for Rennes at home, the first goal in the first half by Arthur Theate, with this goals now he has bagged 4 goals this season in Ligue 1. Troyes not only have a bad defense, but their attack is not too dangerous either, maybe they are under a lot of pressure in this match.

For a while Lille is currently try their best for points against Monaco, so they have a gap of 1 points from Rennes. But if Lille loses against Monaco it is a good opportunity for Rennes, because they will in 5th position and have the same points with Lille. But if Lille game against Monaco ends in a draw, then Rennes will be in the previous position.

Mbappe's second goal in this match was very good. Sergio Ramos gave him a fantastic assist from close to his own penalty area. Mbappe touched the ball once and then scored with a very hard shot. PSG played superior football against their opponent throughout the match. Also, Messi played well in this match. He led the team's attacks. However, I think the red card given to Hakimi was a bit of a heavy decision. His opponent punched him in the arm. He pushed his opponent with his hand. I think it was a little unfair that Hakimi was kicked out of the game. As a result, PSG defeated their weak opponent and increased the gap to 6 points with Lens. They will be champions this season.

Six points, which is the difference with second place, is not much and it only takes two wins to get six points. While the French 1 League still has three matches left, what if PSG's defeat continues until the end of the season? Is that still not a big problem

By the way, how is the continue of the Neymar Jr news, I haven't seen any news about the continue after the issue of Neymar will leave from PSG came out to the public.

I watched the game for 45 minutes or the whole first half. PSG struggled for the first 20 minutes to score a goal, but after Fabian Ruiz managed to break the deadlock, Achraf Hakimi scored the next goal. But then I'm not interested in waiting for the second half because I think it will just be an easy win for PSG. Sure enough, PSG managed to close the match with a 5-0 victory even though Messi did not contribute assists and goals in the match.

For PSG it is a very important win considering they have to be good enough to secure a title chance for the rest of the season. I don't think there is a bad threat for PSG to fall short after winning yesterday's match.

[hahay]

The match between Monaco against Lille looks like it will end in a goalless draw, but based on statistics at least Lille has slightly better statistics than Moncao's home team. In my opinion, it's only natural that Lille can play more aggressively in this match, because Lille still really needs three points to make the gap a little wider with Rennes.

Because at this moment Lille's position is still very unsafe, because Lille only has a 1 point gap with Rennes and if in the next match Lille loses and Rennes wins then Lille will fail to finish in the top five. So yes, Lille needs full points in this match but at the same time, Monaco also has to maintain its place in fourth place to get a Europa League ticket and that makes it difficult for Lille to win this away match.

Winning the League One title won't be the highest honor for a PSG team. I hope that the PSG team will be prepared in a new and great way to make a great performance in the Champions League in the next season. But the team could not achieve anything great with Lionel Messi, it is the failure of the coach of the team.

[posi]

After Lens win, I think they will probably be the second, they got over one of the most stressful games, not the hardest, but the most stressful games, it means they could end up with a good ending. We still do not know who is going to be the second but I am feeling like they could be the winner and they could do it.

Let's see how the league ends but I can guarantee 100% that it will not be PSG that will lose the title, they are going to be the champions for sure. There is three point difference already and Lens has one more game, think about that, with another win it will be 6 points again and with that there isn't that many games left for PSG to lose points to neither. I think it will be first PSG, second Lens and third Marseille, just as exactly how it is today.

Lens should be able to finish in the second position. Marseille does have played one match less compared to Lens. But I still don't think they will actually be able to get past Lens on the table at this stage of the competition. PSG is not losing the title in my opinion as well. The point difference is just a little too big. I also do not think that PSG is going to lose consistently so that the other teams will be able to get ahead of them.

I am still not 100% sure about which team is going to finish in the second and third positions. But other than that I think we all have a good general idea of how the table is going to look toward the top.

[Zackgeno96]

sad that Messi is leaving PSG. It certainly won't jeopardize the championship, but PSG haven't been very dominant this season, but they haven't really had any problems either. They have always been quite ahead of the competition. It is a pity that he is leaving PSG, but if you see how the supporters whistled at him, then you don't feel like staying anymore, of course. Would they now look for a new striker now that Messi has left? Someone like Benzema would fit perfectly there, but he stays with Madrid. A very good season for Lens.

[Ratash]

Clerment team are continuing their amazing performance and results and today victim were lyon team, clerment managed to get six wins from their last seven games and they are on an unbeaten streak and thanks to that they climbed into the eight position, another crazy performance from their player kyei who managed to score 2 goals in today game.

[Fiatless]

The match ended in a goalless draw but LOSC was the better team. They had more shots on target and controlled the game. Both teams still maintained their position in the Ligue 1 but Lille is just one point above Rennes. This entails that Lille might lose their chances of playing in the Europa Conference League. Their next game will be at home with Olympique de Marseille. Marseille is in the third position making them a Europa League candidate but they have not also lost hope of getting a champions league slot. So Lille will have to put up a good performance to win the game on the 20th.
