French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Pulsar77]

Truthfully Lens technically faced 3 big teams in the league recently - Marseille, Monaco and PSG. They won against the first two teams I mentioned but lost to PSG. This is still a positive thing for Lens of course because they won against their nearest opponents below them at least. Besides I would like to remind that Lens defeated Marseille twice this season. This must be good enough to say that Lens deserve the 2nd position more than Marseille now in my opinion.

Lens should be able to win against Lorient and Ajaccio. Because there is no way Lorient are qualifying for any tournament and Ajaccio have already relegated. But as for Auxerre they had better be careful against them. Because Auxerre are still right above the relegation zone by only one point.

Mourinho's name has been called with PSG's manager position recently. It wouldn't make me surprised if we see such deal either because Mourinho is one of the very experienced managers in Europe now. Besides Mourinho can leave Roma anyway especially if he fails in qualifying for the Champions League this season. His name has been called with Chelsea as well but it looks like they are close to having a deal with Pochettino.

But I wonder how much successful Mourinho would be with PSG in that case. He likes to play a defensive game as much as possible you know. PSG have a squad that should be used for an attacking-oriented game obviously. I assume that Mourinho would be ready to make some changes in his usual strategies in that case to not have problems on making the team reach their potential.

We have different views about Mourinho in soccer community because now mostly feeling he has nothing special and can't do anything big but as he won Conference Cup with AS Roma and now having them into semifinal of the Europa Cup with most chances they will lose to achieve top four spots into Serie A league table things looking interesting for the PSG and Mourinho because they are already leading the French League table for decades and their desire is just Champions League and its possible under Mourinho with new squad and things could be also in favor of him.

Now Messi and Neymar are going, and we have no updates about Mbappé even I believe he will stay here with current luxuries, so hopefully things will be in positive way because too many new faces will also join this club, and they will try again for the Champions League in next season.

[Docnaster]

The season seems more tougher as it goes to an end and the teams to fill up important positions (top 4- champion league zone, top 5- Europa league zone, and the conference league) are already showing himself in the table. The remaining 3 matches left will be a kind of yardstick to measure the probability of who will remain in the aforementioned important positions cuz up till now there is no convincing prove of who will remain in the 2nd and 3rd position as marsseile and Lenz keeps fighting in this position. I quest Let's will not be too shallow to step down from the 2nd position

[Leviathan.007]

Toulouse, Ajaccio and Auxerre are the clubs that have been promoted this season, and for now the position of Ajaccio has ensured that they will not stay in Ligue 1. For Auxerre they are still struggling to be able to maintain their current position because they are now in front by only having a difference 1 point only. Team Meanwhile, Toulouse is a club that has managed to defend itself in order to remain in Ligue 1 next season. It's quite difficult when promotion clubs have to compete with clubs that were already in Ligue 1. And I'm quite sorry when they only last for 1 season, because it proves they can't compete with clubs that are already in Ligue 1. But on the other hand, Toulouse, even though they are not completely perfect and still have to compete in the lower leagues, they can still maintain their position in Ligue 1.

who didn't qualify for next season I think it's Ajaccio who has been very poor in form without improving to something as impressive as Toulouse has been consistently and eager to get out of the bottom zone to continue to be able to continue in the league next season. on the other hand, there are a number of teams that really have no hope at all, namely Angers, which looks so bad, there are almost no bright spots at all.
and as for Auxerre I think there is still little chance of moving up to the next ranking as long as in the rest of these matches he can consistently take points from beating his opponent in the matches to come.

It looks like Auxerre will have to accept the fact that they will be one of the teams relegated this season. Maybe it's not without reason that they will experience this considering the list of teams they will face are several strong teams such as PSG and Lens. We know that the closest competitor for Auxerre at the moment is only Nantes, which has only 1 point away and it's not difficult for Nantes to shift Auxerre.

For this week's game Auxerre will host PSG at home and it looks like their chances of winning are not there at all, but if they are able to take advantage of the situation well then at least they have to secure a draw from PSG.

Auxerre is not in last place in the league and there is still hope for them until the end of the season, Auxerre is going to face PSG in the next match this can be hard for them to take the full three points from this game and they also have to face Lens as another top team in the French league which can be another hard game for Auxerre and if Auxerre lose these two point there is high chance for them to get relegated.

I quest Let's will not be too shallow to step down from the 2nd position

Lens and Marseille are equally strong and don't want anyone to beat for second place in the standings.
In short, from the remaining matches, the two clubs Lens and Marseille experienced drastic improvements and they strengthened each other's performance in players to continue to catch up with each other.
I see the performance of the Marseille players who are better than Lens for me and there is a possibility that Lens will still be shifted again and my hope this season is that Marseille will take second place.

[TheGreatPython]

I would also be sure that Marseille will stay in third place despite a surprise winning streak that could unseat Lens.
Another problem is the Lille club, which is likely to be displaced by Rennes because it will be very easy with only 1 point difference.

If Marseille is able to hold Lille's pace this weekend, it is clear that there is a possibility for Rennes to displace Lille, which is currently in fifth place in the standings. Because Rennes also still has the ability to win at Ajaccio's cage, making the competition look quite interesting for a team that is eyeing the fifth position in the standings at the moment. Apart from that, Lens must also be able to maintain consistency in the next three matches in order to secure second place in the standings.

Right now, league table is having few interesting things for the last few weeks of this season just PSG is clearly settled for the top, and then we have interesting fight for the second spot between Lens and Marseille where Lens is favourite, and we have entertaining competition for the remaining UEFA spots with because with current performance nothing is clear who is going to stay on which spot but if we have Lille steal the show against Marseille then surely things could be clear about all but right now we have to wait for the final outcome of this season and spots.

In case of Marseille win then surely Lille lost their current spot, and we will have to wait till end who is going to stay at the second spot but in case of draw or Lille win all will be clear and things could be relaxed for the few top teams as well.

Almost all of strong teams in the league 1 were competing for the important spots to be qualified for competitions next year. It's caused by you can also see that if europa league, conference league and UCL league as a way for the club to get additional income.
That's why it has become the main target after the club was not able to get league 1 trophy. Marseille and lens are competing so hard to get UCL spot. The fight will be still continue until the last match. The gap is very small between both.
Any club that were making blunders will be in result of losing UCL spot. The competition becomes even tougher since it's coming to the end.

Jose Mourinho have good reputation as manager and success winning all European competition from Champion League, Europe League and Conference League, but PSG need new manager can guarantee they will winning Champion League upcoming season. Not really bad with Jose Mourinho have two Champion League trophies in his career by winning UCL with FC Porto and Inter Milan.

I don't think easy for Jose Mourinho will bring positive impact drastically for PSG, actually many star player have rumor will leave PSG this season from Lionel Messi not extended contract, Mbappe rumor will move to Madrid and Neymar have linked with Primer League team, Manchester United.

I think that whichever from the teams manages to get to the Champions League spots,either Marseille or Lens they both deserve it as in the first part of Ligue 1 Lens was much better than Marseille and at a certain point they even put into question if Paris would have won the Ligue 1 but soon after they start collapsing because of high volatility in their games.It is exactly in this moment that Marseille emerged and is playing really well since then,they are making really entertaining game except the one against Lorient where they could not win and are such games that in the end decide which team will go in those spots in Champions League.

But on the other hand, Toulouse, even though they are not completely perfect and still have to compete in the lower leagues, they can still maintain their position in Ligue 1.

Currently, table is clearly favoring Toulouse will be in middle of the league table with Ajaccio already dropped and Auxerre will also drop because their next three matches are not easy first PSG then Toulouse and last one against Lens and Nantes which was in Europa Cup as well but sadly right now struggling badly for survive is having their matches against Montpellier, Lille and then Angers mean they have two matches which can give them some hopes even right now they are trailing by one point from Auxerre and their defence and attack are much better than Auxerre but still it's all about match-day performance, and we have to wait for the end of this season for perfect results, but Nantes can stay in Ligue 1 for another season.

Nantes still have hope of surviving in Ligue 1 next season, but their journey will not be easy to do so because of their last 3 matches that will be carried out, systematically they have 2 opponents who are better than them and only 1 match has been played. they will have the upper hand against the Angers. But on the other hand, Angers will not let Nantes easily beat them, because they will also be looking for friends to relegate and they have that hope to stop Nantes from moving.

The season seems more tougher as it goes to an end and the teams to fill up important positions (top 4- champion league zone, top 5- Europa league zone, and the conference league) are already showing himself in the table.

I see the performance of the Marseille players who are better than Lens for me and there is a possibility that Lens will still be shifted again and my hope this season is that Marseille will take second place.

There is no other choice for Lens and also for Marseille to wipe out 3 matches with a win. Regarding who will eventually take 2nd place and accompany Paris Saint Germain to the Champions League, it's back to their luck. Because I see whoever will take second place, be it Lens or Marseille, I think they deserve it, because if we look at it as a whole, they are both playing well.
Because it won't be easy to do all of that, that's why I said maybe luck will play an important role in a situation like this.

[fullhdpixel]

Regarding three matches left from Marseille seems they will winning all and move up to 2nd standing depend on Lens performance will winning all matches left or not. Marseille left three matches against Lille, Brest and relegation team Ajaccio will guarantee winning all matches, but looks the same with Lens have weakness opponent on three matches left against Lorient, Ajaccio and Auxerre.

Its not any change with current standing based on my predicting and seems not matter for Marseille have finish on 2nd or 3rd position because still qualify to Champion League next season. AS Monaco must be satisfied with 4th standings but they have fewest points gap with Lille on 5th standings position.

Right now, situation is not clear with prediction is also not easy in next round we have Lille vs Marseille which is surely not easy game for the both teams both have tough history of matches and right now Marseille is at third and Lille is at fifth mean things are looking equal for the both teams and match can go into either way which could be beneficial for the Lens which is leading by 2 points right now and have next match against Lorient which is also in good shape and doing better after drop from the top of the league table few weeks back.

In last two rounds, both teams having easy games against relegated sides which are possibly going into favor these top teams, and we will have league table in this shape until end of this season and Marseille needs to go for the Champions League qualification.

to be honest, I am more impressed with Lens' performance, which is stronger and smarter in possession than Marseille, which has not been able to consistently control the ball when on the field. and on the other hand I am also a little disappointed with PSG's current performance which has decreased without a known cause or because the coach is less productive or PSG players underestimate too many points to not think too much about winning because it has been proven that PSG will still be the best in upcoming season.

I think the decline of Paris Saint Germain is very clear, we can see the reasons, one of the reasons is the disharmony of each individual, be it between the players, the coaching staff to the supporters, which I think they are acting very excessively when they are dissatisfied with the performance of their players. . That's why they don't perform optimally, and actually this problem has been going on for a long time.

@Distraction Mourinho will never tinker with his method’s and he’ll ship out many player’s whom he feel won’t suit his style hence we can expect many player’s to depart when he takes over. @Bobrox Messi and Neymar exit will be good for the club as they can reinvest their salaries money into more young player’s who’re best suited to play under Mourinho.

It's true that Lens is quite reliable this season, it can be seen from the last 10 matches that they have played to get amazing results with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That is a very good achievement for a team that at least wants to appear in the champions league next season and the remaining 3 matches they have I think they will be a dark horse team ready to enliven the highest competition in Europe.

Lens must get 9 points from the remaining 3 matches so that their chances of entering the champions league without going through the qualifying route and Marseille may be the only team that will be a barrier to Lens. For PSG, even though it is almost certain that they will win the Ligue 1 title every season as usual, but if they don't get unsatisfactory results then Lens can be quite a serious threat even though the distance is 6 points.

They are back on track they should be doing and this is a reminder of a good start to the season for Lens even though in the middle of the season they faltered a bit but towards the end of the season they are again getting good motivation for their performances and their positive record in the last few games proves that they are experienced an increase in performance again.
3 more matches for them in the completion of this season, hopefully nothing will change from performance, especially by seeing the current opponent it is still possible for them to actually win.

Against 1 team that is in the middle of the standings and 2 teams struggling to get out of the relegation zone, I think this will benefit them especially the ambition to stay in the Champions League must be maintained.

[hahay]

The match between Lille against Marseille was an interesting match because at this moment of course Lille was required to win, the 1 point gap with Rennes made Lille not in a comfortable position. Because Rennes got an easier opponent against AC Ajaccio, of course Rennes can be projected to get three points in that match.

Therefore, maybe this match will be the decisive match for Lille whether it finishes in fifth place or fails. Because based on the odds currently available, it also shows that Lille and Marseille at least both have a good chance of winning.

The problem with Paris Saint Germain was not having a balanced team, they hired many superstar players for this season and they had the best forwards in the world also Paris Saint Germain got enough investment to pay enough to the players but they didn't have good coach and balanced team, that's why the fans were also unhappy.

This is one of the matches that I will watch apart from Lyon who will face Monaco because indeed for Week 36 I think there are 2 big matches that will happen.
The conditions of Lille and Marseille from a statistical point of view are better than Marseille but in this case in terms of the condition of the players I think their qualities are equal regardless of what they are the same.



The odds are currently the favorite is still at Lille but I think with the current conditions Marseille will win and I will try to bet there considering that 2.75 is still very decent in my opinion.

[harapan]

Truthfully Lens technically faced 3 big teams in the league recently - Marseille, Monaco and PSG. They won against the first two teams I mentioned but lost to PSG. This is still a positive thing for Lens of course because they won against their nearest opponents below them at least. Besides I would like to remind that Lens defeated Marseille twice this season. This must be good enough to say that Lens deserve the 2nd position more than Marseille now in my opinion.

Lens should be able to win against Lorient and Ajaccio. Because there is no way Lorient are qualifying for any tournament and Ajaccio have already relegated. But as for Auxerre they had better be careful against them. Because Auxerre are still right above the relegation zone by only one point.

I have been praying for Lens to maintain that second position since and they are doing just that. At a point I felt the pressure would be too much and they would fold under pressure but they have proved me wrong and I'm happy for that.
My faith in them increased when they won Marseille two game weeks ago. There/s a saying that if you want to be champions you have to beat the best. In this case Lens beat the biggest threat to second position.
They haven't qualified for the champions league yet because there are still three matches to play and they are just two points above Marseille but they are in a relatively good spot. All they have to do now is win their three remaining games and that would be it.
