French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Alanaz]

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.

They lost a lot of points which left them behind Lens and now they have to settle for 3rd place in the final standings. Actually they played well if only they could maintain their performance well, but unfortunately they actually made a lot of inconsistencies which in the end made them unable to compete with Lens who are ranked 2nd in Ligue 1.

Agree with this, Whether or not a new manager is present or not I think this doesn't really affect in this case, especially since we all know that it was Messi's contract that did run out and on several occasions, the lack of disciplinary problems from Messi and the PSG fans who demanded too much made this relationship is getting strained.
Sooner or later, something like this is bound to happen regardless of anything. Now that Messi is just waiting to see what Neymar will do after this because looking at the conditions the possibility of him leaving is also very big now with their current condition.

Now PSG have to try to get back with their money, let's hope they don't go back to looking for players who have run out of time just because of the big names that have been done before.

I read that the PSG fans blame Messi because he wasn't as passionate about PSG as he was about Argentina's national team. Which in my opinion is a joke because why do the PSG fans not understand that they are fans of a team that is full of mercenaries? Neymar isn't playing for PSG because PSG is real soccer tradition. Mbappe same thing. Messi went there for fun and money, but not because PSG is the club every young boy dreams of.

I am sure that Messi has long made his decision, long ago. Probably a few months ago.

This doesn't seem too strange for them and I'm not too surprised by the behavior of the fans from PSG because this sort of thing happens often and it's not the first time they've done it.

They were excited at first when Messi arrived but now they are also the ones complaining about it. They seem to have to reflect a little on the current conditions, even though they want good things for their club, but by not having too much respect for the players, it's too much and doesn't reflect good fans.

This decision has been made since the beginning it seems and if it's not, it's impossible for him to make noise again and again even on vacation when they have to play

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.

Lens had a very good season, and they will be rewarded by playing in the champions league next season, but i don't think next season they can do better than what they have done now, because better than this will mean winning the Ligue 1 title, and i don't think any team can win the Ligue 1 title from psg. The Ligue 1 is almost the same thing as the bundesliga with Bayern munich winning the title every season, that's the same way psg wins the Ligue 1 title every season, the big clubs in France have to do more in order to challenge psg and win the title from them, so that the league can be competitive.

There's no doubt that Lenz had a good season and they need to celebrate it. Even now they qualified for Champions league, what I expect Lenz management to do is to reinforce thr squad. Just invest money and use the opportunity to make Lenze a strong threat to PSG, in no distant time they will be able to win the Ligue 1 title.
But if they just leave the team that way, go to Champions League and be kicked out of thr group stage, they will not be able to grow and in the next season, they will even struggle to join top.

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.

yes, maybe it's true that the news is still a rumor, I don't know the certainty, and it was my mistake to read the wrong article because several times, incorrect articles were spread about the news of the coach who will become the new manager for PSG.
but I'm still curious who will be the new coach for PSG in the summer if some of the news is still a pro and con.

Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos are simultaneously leaving the PSG team. Neymar is one of the most likely to leave the PSG team this season. We are still unsure of Ramos and Lionel Messi's next destination.

Christophe Galtier only confirmed the news of Lionel Messi leaving PSC but did not confirm any news about Sergio Ramos leaving the club. Messi is definitely out of PSG and Neymar is going to leave PSG very soon. Neymar may leave PSG this summer during the transfer window.  

I haven't seen any news about Sergio Ramos leaving the club so far but if he really leaves PSG club then his next destination is almost uncertain. Because the 37-year-old Spanish defender was released by Real Madrid last season. Age may be a barrier to his club change. If he leaves PSG, he may not be seen at a European club.

[Ratash]

There are some interesting high stakes games today the fight for the fifth spot and the last relegation spot are still open, Rennes team need to win today so they can qualify for the conference league and maybe even the europa league if they are lucky enough and lille team do not manage to beat Troyes which is unlikely, rennes team need to be very carefull since their opponent is a tough one brest are on fire recently and they even managed to beat marseille in their own home.

Are you looking at the performance of the lens team? The team is performing incredibly well in League One. This team is in the points table after the PSG team. Expect this team to do great things next season.

his contract was not extended PSG, so Sergio Ramos will of course leave PSG. and the news has spread in the media. PSG next season will probably make a lot of changes to their squad. and of course, they will make deals with several players targeted in the transfer market this summer. being left behind by several main pillars in the squad will not be good for PSG for next season. making a team as good as this season is of course not going to be easy for PSG. but PSG with the money they have of course could do with options that will be available soon in the transfer market.

If we look at the statistics in the matches in the last week of Brest heading into this match their league form has been extraordinary as they have won four out of the last five matches in ligue 1 . Great performance with a fight for survival in the top caste. Brest have been amazing at home lately in the French top flight, as they have recorded several Ligue 1 wins in a row at Stade Francis-Le Ble and also they have conceded only one goal in their last four league matches at home.

Besides that Rennes' recent form has been very strong, as they have won four of their last five matches in ligue 1 while scoring at least two goals in each victory. They have also kept three clean sheets in a row in Ligue 1 . I predict a draw in the match later.

No problem at all. There are so many fake news during the transfer season. it's caused by any media try to compete to get attention from the public and this can increase their traffic as well. I will try to mention it here if there will be a legit news that will come in the future related to the zidane at this moment. Zidane needs to consder a lot of things before he will be deciding whether he will be taking an offer from a club or not. It has been stated by him in the past.

i would not be surprised if zidane will not be trying to rush by taking a job that came to him. he is valuable coach. It's not any team will be considered as a team that worthy to sign him as a coach.

Yes but what is most surprising is that they blame a player for not playing good while that player belongs to the top 3 scorers of the league. What else do they want from him? Instead of yelling and blaming, maybe they should state what they exactly want from him and he could try to understand what the problem is. I can't see the problem these fans can see.

On another note, it is now official that Ramos is also going to leave PSG and there we go, this is what happens when you buy players that want to make big money one more time when they are in their mid thirties. I think there is a lot more to come for PSG. Imagine Neymar is the next name who is going to leave. That would be Messi, Neymar and Ramos so far. What is Mbappe then going to do?

However, if the media continues to link the club with the coach in question, then it might become a reality at some point in the future. But if this is related to Zidane, then I personally really believe that Zidane will never accept an offer from PSG. Although indeed, we don't know what will happen in the future, because basically Zidane really doesn't have a desire to be at PSG and maybe that will remain a mystery.

The last games of the league are a formality and PSG are champions.
Rennes will face Brest away.Rennes need to win this game because Monaco are right behind them.Monaco will host toulouse at home.Monaco have a better chance of winning but nothing will change if Rennes win too.
Lille also need to win away at troyes because rennes and monaco are right behind them.

Last round of the league i think we will see many goals on all of the matches but the most on the PSG one. I think we will see at least two in first and four in total. Monaco also needs to pray that Lille or Rennes drop points so they can reach europe. But Toulouse won the cup so i think that they wont give up so quick

[rendravolt]

PSG against Clermont will be the last match for the two players, namely Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos. As we know coach Galtier has confirmed the departure of the two players and this will be a farewell match with PSG. Maybe PSG didn't target anything through this match, but at least they have to win this match at home to release these two star players. For Clermont it looks like they will be quite satisfied with finishing in 8th position and that is good enough for this season. Now PSG will definitely think about several target players to fill this void next season and I think the prediction for this match will end with a score of 2-0 in favor of PSG.

[rahmad2nd]

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.

Right, this match will have no effect for both teams. whether it's Ajaccio as the home team, as well as Marseille. win or lose, will not change and have any impact on the two teams. if I refer to the line-up of these two teams, Marseille will still appear offensive. while Ajaccio will appear with a defensive system. in fact, in this match both teams had other players who were injured and at the same time suspended for card accumulation. my question is whether Marseille will play seriously in this match. or, some of their core players will be withdrawn in the second round. if so, it looks like this fight will not be so exciting. after all, the two teams do not have strong motivation to play seriously. this match, I will bet on the Under 3 goals option with odds @ 1.81.

Nantes vs Angers, this match is important for Nantes to get full points to save their ranking in the degraded zone. like it or not, Nantes must subvert the opposing team. after all, Angers are in the relegation zone with 20th place. should, Nantes can win this fight. after all, Angers is not a difficult team to overthrow. in this match too, it is ideal to bet on Under 3 goals with 1.80 odds. I don't think there will be 3 goals in this game.

Ramos himself said that he is leaving, I do not know how much more source do you need, check his twitter. With Ramos gone, Neymar probably gone, Messi gone, and they were already not that great with these anyway and now they are going to be even worse, I do not know what PSG thinking they are going to do.

If they insist on keeping Galtier, I can guarantee you that they are going to be one of the worst teams that went from that high to that low, not many team can be as good as any other team in the world, rival for the best team in the world, and then become this bad. I think they should hire someone else, and then they need to buy so many more players, I can literally name 5 positions they need to hire a new player for and that's going to cost them a ton of money.

Yes, this will be a decisive match for the 3 teams, Monaco, Rennes and LOSC. Everything could change if one of them doesn't win the game, especially for Rennes and LOSC. It is clear for Monaco the defeat they expect from the results of the Rennes and LOSC matches, because that opens up their chances of being in European competition next season. But surely the two teams will not let their places be taken by other teams.
