French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[klidex]

Marseille will still try to aim for victory through the match against Ajaccio in the Ligue 1 opener this week. After the last two matches Marseille always lost, now for sure they will target the last victory to close the season with good results. For Ajaccio who are in the relegation zone there seems to be nothing to do and even if Ajaccio wins, they will still be relegated this season along with Troyes and Angers. On the other hand, Marseille is likely to remain satisfied with finishing in 3rd position and bypassing the Champions League via the playoffs first. So I think there's nothing wrong with betting on Marseille and it's guaranteed they will win even if by a narrow score.

After getting two bad match results, Marseille should be able to close this season with a winning, they also have to be able not to concede a goal in this match. Like the previous season, they also secured three points on matchday 38, so I'm also sure they can do it again. And to bet on Marseille isn't too bad either, currently the odds for them are around @1.36, the possibility of winning for them are quite high against Ajaccio although playing away.

Actually, the Ajaccio vs Marseille match will not be very important because Marseille is safe in its current position and has won a ticket to the champions league.
If Marseille loses against Ajaccio I think I won't be disappointed because the match is also at Ajaccio's home ground which has a slightly greater chance of winning.

It's only fitting that they can win this game against a relegated team who won't have any more motivation. Even though it wouldn't change anything, it would be really embarrassing if they had to lose this easy match. They had lost second place after an inconsistent display that cost them a lot of points, at least they closed the competition with a win.

Lille will play their last match against Troyes. Troyes is one of the weaker teams this season. Troyes has no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. And so I don't think Lille will lose points in this match. An easy win awaits Lille. Unless they make a big mistake.
I can't call the BRest team weak against Rennes. However, the team is in the 14th position in the points table. But Brest won the last three matches. They are in a very good rhythm now. And so I won't be surprised if Rennes loses points in this match.

Indeed, Troyes is a small team and it is certain that they will be relegated this season, but if you look at Lille's previous performance against Nantes, they (Lille) benefited from 2 penalties which finally made them get an additional 3 points in that match. Lille played very badly and struggled to score from attacks and wouldn't this match be just as difficult for Lille against Troyes later?
Apart from that Lille must not underestimate even the smallest team and even though they are the underdogs, there will definitely be times when they slip up if they are not careful. For Rennes against Brest, it is likely that this will be a very fierce match, especially since Brest is the host, it will definitely not be easy to give up.

Lille's performance against Nantes was not good. They had 66% of the ball but didn't attack much. Lille were very lucky so they won. Lille scored both goals in the match from penalty chances. But I don't think Lille will make the same mistake two games in a row. If Lille plays an attacking strategy, breaking the defense of teams like Nantes and Troyes will not be a difficult task for them. Troyes defense is weak. And so if Lille don't make tactical mistakes in this match they will win.

Lacazette's performance until now has been incredibly good. He just brought back his old times immediately after leaving Arsenal and returning to Lyon. He had his best years with Lyon in the first place in the past obviously. But I still had doubts about him whether he would be able to perform that good again after this returnal. He made my doubts go away in a very short time after coming here. 

He has scored 27 goals in the Ligue 1 until now which is only 1 goal less from Mbappe. Considering Lacazette is 32 years old this is an amazing effort for him. He has given his best for the team throughout the season but Lyon still can't qualify for any European competition now. I liken Lacazette's situation with Lyon to the one Kane has with Tottenham now.

This match shouldn't be a problem for Marseille, but don't be surprised if the results don't live up to expectations. even if Marseille wins the match, it will have no effect on them. however, to win the match to conclude the competition. at least, it was worth it for Marseille to fight for it. after all, even though Ajaccio played as the home team, it was not a significant obstacle for Igor Tudor's team to win. you could say, as the last practice at the end of the season.

Conversely, this match will also mean nothing to Ajaccio. after all, they can be sure that they will be relegated, which incidentally occupies 19th place on the Ligue 1 standings. Win or lose, nothing will change for them. after all, to overthrow Marseille is not an easy thing at all for Ajaccio. however, if this match is going to be a surprise, there's nothing wrong with reviewing whether Marseille will seriously play in this match. if the scenario is that the Marseille team will not be serious, Ajaccio's odds options are quite tempting @8,20.

If Marseille loses against Ajaccio I think I won't be disappointed because the match is also at Ajaccio's home ground which has a slightly greater chance of winning.

If it must be considered unimportant, then in fact the two teams will also not experience such a significant change in the position they occupy and the zone they occupy now. Because if for example Ajaccio wins tomorrow's match, Ajaccio also cannot get out of the relegation zone and so does Marseille who cannot be caught up by other rivals so that Marseille will still be in third place in the Champions League qualifying zone. And if for example Marseille wins there won't be any change in position so conditions will remain the same for Marseille.

Even in head to head terms, Marseille also dominates with lots of wins, even though at the start of this season, Marseille had to lose with a score of 1-2 at home and the chances of winning seem quite decent even though Marseille are away from home, but it would be more optimal if we bet with a handicap (-1) with odds @1.51 because of course Marseille will not be satisfied with just a narrow win. Because I'm pretty sure that at least Marseille will be ahead by more than 2 goals in this match.

We have to admit that he played well this year. The team he is currently in is quite suitable for him, although his performance was good, I think he could not have played so well in a better league. He's older now and maybe he's having his best years.
It is certain that Lacazette will not be able to take part in the Premier League or similar difficulty again, he will now be remembered as the legendary player of Lyon

I also think so that Marseille will feel a little embarrassed if they have to lose their last match of the season with an opponent who is not strong and I think Marseille clearly does not want to be embarrassed in their last match at home to their opponent so that Marseille will still try to win even though the position is very secure in third place in the Ligue1 standings and on the other hand Ajaccio also does not have enough strength to face Marseille in the last game at home.

The lens is really unexpected, I didn't think they would be able to have 81 points (shifting Marseille and getting closer to PSG's points). marseille will face Ajaccio, losing or winning in this match will not change marseille's position in the top three while this last match will only have a big impact on Lens and PSG, if PSG lose to C Foot then Lens will become the champion.

[wiss19]

Messi has left, lets see what PSG will do, they need better midfield and now they will need someone to replace Messi, which we all know will be hard, no matter how old he was, he was still messi and did some pretty magical stuff anyway, but missed some games. I am guessing that Neymar will be a no-show next season as well so I am guessing that its going to be something a bit more important, it will probably be something to care about and I believe that it wouldn't be really an easy fill.

Neymar and Messi gone, need of a midfield, and how much money could they even spend? I am not even talking about just their budget, which is of course limited even if its a lot, but I think they have financial fair play they will need to think about as well.

Even if in this case it doesn't make any impact on their position in the standings, as you said, they still have to aim for victory in this last game because it's not wrong to close the end of the season with a win.
They had to be willing to drop points several times and of course in this match there is no reason for them to have to lose again, of course, moreover the opponent they will face is Ajaccio who incidentally is a club that has to leave Ligue 1 next season.
It would be very bad for the mentality of the Marseille players if they had to lose again for the third time in a row in the last match of the season.

[snipie]

Tomorrow we will know which team will relegate along with Angers, Ajaccio and Troyes.
Nantes were at risk in the 2020-2021 season but they remained in Ligue 1 after winning the play-offs . This time 4 teams will relegate directly in order to reduce the number of teams in Ligue 1 to 18. Nantes will face Angers and are expected to win, while Auxerre will face Lens with a higher risk of defeat. It will be exciting to see Nantes being saved another time in the very end of the season
In the top ranking, Europa League group stage and Conference League spots are yet to be picked. Lille and Rennes have easy games and they should win and keep their places, otherwise they will risk seeing Monaco picking one of it.

Regarding the game between Marseille and Ajaccio, You are right because this game won't be an important game for any team. Especially when you consider this game as the final game of the season and even if any team loses the full three points or gets the three points from this game nothing will change and still, Ajaccio will be relegated, also Marseille will go for the Champions League qualifiers.
Maybe that's a good reason to say Marseille got much more chance for this match than Ajaccio.

Although this game will not be important for Marseille but I think they will still try hard to win the last game of the season. The defeat from of the relegation zone team is quite embarrassing, maybe that will be avoided by Marseille in this match, even this victory will also be the perfect closing for them this season.

I'm more interested in the Nantes vs Angers match.  Because these two teams are both in the relegation zone, but for Nantes they still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone if they can win this match.

[Velvet78]

Marseille have been a big disappointment to me for this season. They couldn't even compete with Lens very well and they lost their position to them. Now Lens are going to be the one joining the Champions League group stage directly. Considering how strong Marseille started to the season I wouldn't have expected such result to be seen.

They have had serious level of inconsistencies after some time. I had doubts about Lens to do this much good but they really have done so far. They even maintained their title chance mathematically until the final weeks. Marseille need to learn their lesson from Lens' success to fight for the better next time.

[asriloni]

hearing rumors from some of the talks it looks like the candidates already in sight are Zidane and Mourinho. these two coaches have different experiences and Mourinho has a lot more experience and is suitable to be a PSG coach but the question is whether Mourinho wants to leave Roma just to move to PSG. on the one hand Mourinho seems to still be comfortable in the team he is currently in charge of and for Zidane even though he also has the experience of winning the champions league trophy but I am not sure whether PSG also agrees if Zidane becomes a coach who can determine the future of PSG.

It's not true. I never seen latest news from zidane to be linked with PSG. There's no even a single news that was publishing him being linked to the PSG again. Mourinho has been also rejecting the rumor about PSG was interesting to sign him.
Mourinho has been even stated by himself before the match against sevilla if PSG never had any talk with him regarding the rumor.

I think that it's all still rumor. I don't even think zidane will be interesting to be a coach for PSG. In my opinion if zidane will be only willing to coaching what already become his former club in the past like madrid or juventus.

The chance for zidane to go to the PSG is very small at this moment.

I think it is time to appreciate really what Lens has done this season rather than saying that Marseille was too bad. If Marseille wins the last game they are going to end the season with 76 points. Apart from the fact that they recently also started losing a couple of games again, 76 points is an acceptable result and not really bad.

But on the other hand Lens has played an incredible season and they can finish the season with 84 points. They were even pushing PSG at times and who would have thought that before the season even started?

I think it is also hard for other Ligue 1 clubs to develop strength these days as PSG would probably buy a player from another French club when he seems to have superstar qualities. Mbappe is the best example. They either go abroad or to PSG.

They have been starting this season with good performance but at the end of league Marseille has decline performance which make their position were overtaked by Lens and certainly they will finish at 3rd position below to Lens and this achievement is lower than last season and apparently Igor Tudor has been failed to bringing Marseille to compete for race title with PSG and the situation will became so hard for Marseille because last time i heard Igor Tudor has decided to resign although he has a contract until season 2024 but he feel he was failed and dissapoint the fans and the match against Ajaccio this weekend will be his last match with Marseille

The Lens team is only 4 points behind PSG. Expect the lenses to match themselves brilliantly next season. Because the Lens team is impossibly improving after PSG in League One.
