French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Iranus]

This must be the week Lens are securing the second position by winning against Ajaccio as the point gap would be five points with Marseille the worst case scenario after that. Lens have been the team I most admired during this season here. The biggest disappointment for me has been Monaco honestly. I would have liked to see them in a race to be a part of the Champions League as well.
But they might even lose the spot in the Europa League if they continue to play like this on the final two weeks. Because their recent form is just horrible now.

In League One, the Lens team has to be praised, the current position of the Lens is after the PSG team. If PSG were not playing in League One I think Lens would have qualified to secure the title. This team is pushing themselves tremendously.

an extraordinary season for Lens, now they are in 2nd place in the standings and it is no longer possible to be chased by Marseiile who is in 3rd place, 5 points ahead and 2 more matches remaining I think it is safe enough for Lens to be able to finish in 2nd place and getting a ticket to the next season's Champion League, this is a great achievement.
to be a champion is indeed very difficult, PSG has extraordinary financial strength and it is very difficult to be loved by other teams in Ligue 1.

Lens has played very well this season. If they were a little more consistent, they could have extended the title fight with PSG. Still, qualifying for the Champions League is an honor. Lens was defeated in just 4 matches this season. PSG, the strongest team in Ligue 1, has been defeated in 3 matches. If Lens management can spend some money next season then this team will be stronger.
Lens qualified for the Champions League. Hopefully, they will be stronger next season. And it will be more difficult for PSG to win the Ligue 1 title next season.

Its always hard to win the title against Psg ,Lille was somehow able to make a miracle a few seasons ago but Lens just wasnt able to hold on to PSG. But still this is one of the biggest results in their history with them reaching the group faze and playing the champions league next season.

Lens has competed to lock in their position in the final standings table. They are one step away from ensuring that they will be in the Champions League next season. Ajaccio is not a difficult opponent for them to get 3 points in this match. This game is a home game for them so they should give victory to their supporters at home. And I'm sure they will do that.

I also think it's a shame that PSG team performed so well in League One. Because the kind of players that are in the PSG team, if these players were in any other club, they would have been able to perform exceptionally well in the Champions League. But this PSG team, made up of some of the best players in the world, sometimes fails to compete against smaller teams.

[Jody.Drummer]

Even if Lens make it to the Champions League directly I don't have much more expectation from them later on. They will still have completed the current season way ahead of the expectations. Besides to be able to do something good in the Champions League, Lens would need to do make really serious changes in the starting lineup. above all else. On the other hand it is quite surprising to see Marseille having consistency issues more than Lens during the season. Things could have been the other way around now.

Marseille actually have a better squad than Lens which is more capable on paper. But they just can't reflect this onto the field. They are still about to join the Champions League by playing qualification matches though and they can still increase the number of French teams in the Champions League groups to 3.

Indeed they have to strengthen the squad again if they can compete in the Champions League next season. In my opinion, the squad and strength they currently have cannot compete with other top clubs in the Champions League. As an example we can look at Paris Saint Germain, with the squad and the strength they have they can't compete much more tightly, and we know Lens is under Paris Saint Germain at the moment in every way. I don't mean to compare because they may end up with different or even better results. But it is a form of preparation to look more seriously.

[bestcoins1]

if it is predicted it seems that Monaco is hopeless because of the poor performance by Monaco players it is very easy to be defeated by Rennes at their home ground.

I have never predicted like that and I would also be very surprised if the prediction is true. Because it is very unfortunate if Monaco cannot win at home to Rennes in today's match. Moreover, Monaco has been in a very good position and I think this position is very appropriate for Monaco this season, but if Monaco cannot maintain that position for him, it is very unfortunate because there are many other teams who want the top four positions in the standings before the season end.

~snip~

Rennes has hard schedules because they have to fight against Monaco and both teams have same mission that don't want to lose because they want to finish at top 5 and in this match i can see Rennes is the favourite this because at home Rennes often to win with big scores and the latest is Rennes can win with scores 4-0 from Troyes but Monaco also is not in the good shape because last week they just lose from Lyon and for this match although Monaco is strong team but i feel like Rennes will be the winner of this match

For other match Lille vs Nantes actually this is good chances for Lille to collect 3 points today this because we all know Nantes really weak recently and their records also looks very poor that they had passed 12 matches on Ligue 1 without the winning results and Nantes also has failed to scores goals in the last 4 matches so if we see from these records i think Lille shouldn't have any problem to beat Nantes today

As I wrote in various posts, that Rennes match against Monaco will not be very easy. because, after all, Philippe Clement will not let his team be toppled even though the match will be held at his Rennes headquarters. but at least, this match will offer quite exciting and competitive matches and even have the potential to run very tough. if I refer to the predicted line-up of these two teams, Rennes will appear with an offensive system. while Monaco, will play with a defensive pattern. and for sure, several players from both teams will be absent due to injury. referring to the bet, if i had to choose i would rather bet for monaco with odds @3.60. while Rennes, with odds of 1.94. My guess is that this fight will not give birth to many goals. so the ideal option for me is to bet on Under 3.25 goals.

Rennes vs Monaco = Under 3.25 goals.


In the other match, Lille will host Nantes. Both of these teams both need a win. Lille doesn't want her position to be shifted by Rennes, while Nantes needs 3 points to avoid the relegation zone. unfortunately, it is not an easy matter to subvert the home team. because, some Nantes players will be absent due to injury. no exception, with several Lille players who were injured. however, it should not be a difficult match for the home team. unfortunately, the available odds are not quite ideal. I prefer the handicap option -1.25 with odds @1.92.

Lille vs Nantes = -1.25 Lille

[rendravolt]

Even though there are still two final matches remaining in the rest of the season, this time Lens must really get a win against Ajaccio in this match because to make sure their steps towards the champions league are safer if they are in 2nd place in the standings. I think this is an easy match for Lens, especially against a weak team like Ajaccio who have no chance of escaping from the relegation zone even though they managed to win the remaining two matches.

Bookmakers also give odds @1.15 and that is very small for Lens to win, so I would prefer to bet over 2.5 goals with better odds @1.58 in my opinion it still makes sense because there will be at least 2 more goals to maximize Lens' win.

[Leviathan.007]

I think the investors of PSG take their lesson after all that happened to their team during this season.
First, they should understand that buying a superstar player won't be enough to win a great tournament like the champions league, and no matter how much they spend for it,
Also, they know they need to have a balanced team, and having strong forwards won't help them
And they know great players need breast coaches to manage the team otherwise, these players can have a negative effect on the team just like what happened to Messi.
On the other hand, buying old and famous players will not guarantee anything for them and instead, they have to start seeking for younger talents.

[hahay]

Basically, Nantes still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone but unfortunately, today Nantes has to play away against Lille and Lille is currently still in dire need of three points. What's more, Lille really has a very good dominance of wins when Lille plays against Nantes and so, of course, at this moment Nantes can be sure to lose.

But yes, if Auxerre also fails to win in the remaining two matches then of course Nantes' chance to get out of the relegation zone is still open. Because in the last match later it is clear that Nantes will play at home against Angers, and at this moment Angers is the team at the bottom of the standings. Therefore, Nantes should be able to maximize this opportunity not to be relegated.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Actually I don't think this has any impact on his future at PSG because regardless of his condition going back to training and apologizing beforehand it won't be any guarantee for next season in fact I'm still pretty sure he will leave in fact.
He is training because indeed it is his obligation now considering he still has the rest of his contract for PSG.

Messi future is still ambiguous. His trip to Saudi Arabia might be a familial one for tourism but discussion his involvement in Saudi ambition to host World Cup and even playing there for a couple of season is probable too.
For his wealth and professional career, it would be better to continue with PSG for another season. For a historical ending in Europe, Barcelona might be the best pick but salary will be lower. For a fortune reason without professional career, Saudi Arabia will be better than the previous ones. It is up to him to pick.

I really don't know what to think, Messi doesn't deserve to be booed in a stadium, quite the opposite, he deserves to be praised for his masterful plays, personally if I were Messi's friend I would tell him to go to Saudi fútbol, because He will try another environment there, he will be more loved, I don't think he does things that disappoint and of course he will have the support of the entire advertising network, he has nothing to lose, on the contrary, he can try whatever he wants because I know it will be good for him anyway , here at PSG you already have a taste of what the fans themselves are capable of doing.

I think the investors of PSG take their lesson after all that happened to their team during this season.
First, they should understand that buying a superstar player won't be enough to win a great tournament like the champions league, and no matter how much they spend for it,

On the other hand, buying old and famous players will not guarantee anything for them and instead, they have to start seeking for younger talents.

I think that before buying players what they need is a better coach and that is the key, for me there is no other problem but that, in this case what they can do is look for a ZIDANE, a coach like Pep Guardiola where they practically have a very good and winning streak, PSG has very good money to attract coaches like them, but they cannot concentrate on good players, because they already have them, in fact I think they are the team that has the most champion stars in their squad, even so they cannot win a UCL, so here the one who is failing is obviously the technical director.

No doubt Lens is already in 2nd place with a safe position to qualify for the champions league and in the next game Lens has to play a very weak club Ajaccio is the place to get additional points for Lens.
If according to my prediction the Lens vs Ajaccio match will end with a score of 4-0 so betting at odds over 2.5 is much better.

There is no certainly when it comes to the world of football, you might be thinking that they will lose the game while the game might end draw or they even get a win, both teams are in need of the 3 points but I think relegation threatened Nantes needs the 3 points more to see if they will try to escape that relegation zone and will not relent in that game despite their form, anything is possible when it comes to football.

With odds as low as 1.15 it's pretty useless to bet, it's definitely not worth the risk. We have reached the end of the league and we all know that a strong team like Lens will not lose points to one of the worst teams in the league. I think if I were to bet on this, I would say Lens will score more than 3 goals. At the end of the league, they can close the year by scoring a lot of goals and showing off

[FanEagle]

Lens could still sell a few players and build a better team, there is a whole summer in front of them and they could make some changes. I am not saying that they are going to end up with a UCL title obviously, we all know that they are not going to do much, but their aim should be getting out of the group stages.

That is the highest they could do, if they can do that then I would consider their season as exceptionally well, anything more than that would be just joy, and just because they may fail going above the group stages doesn't mean that they did terrible neither, just saying that would be the best case. For that, they are going to get paid so much this year, tv rights, ucl entry money and all that, which would be at least 20-30 million more, get a few good players and maybe they will do that.

Strasbourg VS PSG

I'm enjoying the Strasbourg vs PSG match. In this match, I expected to see PSG dominate and win by a big margin. But I am very upset with PSG's match strategy.
Strasbourg is a team at the bottom of the points table. This group is relatively weak. But even against such a team PSG team is playing defensively today. The match is not important for PSG. They won the title. Even then PSG fans don't expect results that PSG won't win in such matches. Messi and Mbappe are in PSG's attack. However, PSG only made 4 shots in the first half. I don't see any desire in them to score in the match.

[macson]

i'm looking forward to the final results of the two matches below; ^{(i wonder which team will be in the relegation zone because both are only 1 point apart)}
nantes vs lille
auxerre vs toulouse

Lille continues to fight hard to be able to win against Nantes because they want to be in 4th place ^{(shifting Monaco and Rennes)} so they can get a UCL ticket next season ^{(the match will soon be over, i see that Nantes' defense is very good)}

what surprised me a little was the match between Marseille vs Brest, on paper Marseille was superior because they were playing at home but until now Marseille has not been able to score a goal against Brest, it seems that the end of this match is Brest's victory. edit my post, marseille managed to equalize the score, the score is now 1-1.

[Leviathan.007]

The remaining games in the French league are important if you to look at the relegation zone of the table where the teams are trying hard to get themselves out of danger, Nantes currently is in a situation in which they can get relegated at the end of the season however they have a good chance to win the game tonight and get the full three points from this game but they also should hope to see other teams like Auxerre make mistake and let them take their place otherwise even after the two remaining points there will be no hope for Nantes to stay in French League for another season.
Also, the situation can be even harder when you know Nantes should play against Lille tonight and Lille is not a team to lose points easily.

[alpamar99]

Marseille's defeat in today's competition further distanced themselves and indeed even if they win they will not be able to compete with Lens but still in this competition I think at least they should be more ambitious for 3 points. It's a pity that 4 of the matches they played in town before the end of this season they had to be willing to lose points again and again because they lost 3 times and that made them only be in the Europa League next season.

I don't see any desire in them to score in the match.

I watched the game for a few minutes especially before Messi scored and before the equalizer was scored by Kevin Gameiro. PSG were under a lot of pressure after Messi's goal, I mean Strasbourg played better the rest of the second half and they were able to force PSG to a draw in the end. Strasbourg have also secured their place in Ligue 1 next season as no other team will threaten their position in the standings.

Of course PSG fans were really disappointed to get 1-1 draw as the end of the match, but things like this are not always avoided by any team. PSG had several chances, even Mbappe failed to take advantage of the opportunities created by Messi to convert them into goals.
