French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[OcTradism]

Even if a few players from the PSG team are injured, they will not have to face too many problems. Because there are a lot of talented players on the bench of PSG. At least they have enough talented players on their bench to win Ligue 1 matches. They will not face a bad situation like Liverpool due to injury problems.

In theory the players of PSG are very good and many players on the bench are dream players of other teams.

Draxler, Paredes, Icardi, and many players don't have a position in main squad. The goalkeeper position is another example. Keylor Navas and Donnaruma have to share the goalkeeper position because they are all good goalkeepers. Navas won 3 Champions League with Real Madrid and Donnaruma won Euro 2020 with Italy, and received the MVP of that tournament.

However, if the key players of PSG get injured then it will be very challenging for the team to perform well in the Champions League. All the teams in the Champions League are strong.

The challenge with PSG is Champions League, not Ligue 1. Even with best players, PSG are struggling to win Champions League so if their key players get injured, they will get more troubles with big opponents in Champions League.

PSG don't begin matches in Champions League with the belief that they can beat all opponents. They are not in the position to have such confidence.

We are starting the new match week by the Lens - Reims match. Lens are one of the in-form teams lately. They are at the 2nd place now. Reims didn't have as good start as them. Lens can take advantage of the weakness of their opponent and continue to win here. Their last head-to-head match in the league in this stadium ended by a very big score like 4-4. This time, Lens can be the winning side.

40 minutes in the first half and still 0 0 not a big performance from lens today with not many chances only one shot on goal i think the fact that reims came from a big win at home made it really difficult reims players seem really focused and motivated the home team need more effort.

Now they are already in good lead like 2 - 0 after having first goal in first half Injury time through penalty which was awarded because of foul and red card Ekitike Reims is playing with 10 players and down to 10 men mean Lens is going to stay at 2nd with 2 games more from Marseille and Nice, but they have some good time for staying here which is good for them because in this round Marseille is going to face Lille and Nice playing against Brest these both can take over but will take some time.

Lens got a very decent 2-0 win last night against Reims. After the Reims player was shown a red card, everything was easier for Lens to win. They made the score 2-0 in a short time and secured the win. They consolidated their position in the standings for this week. If PSG lose points against Rennes, they will be able to decrease the point difference with them too.

85': Rennes 2-0 PSG 

A player who is literally the best present on the field. Feels like he was bought for the UCL, not the league. Another Messi free kick hits the bar. That is really unfortunate. However, Messi is playing well. Although PSG's attacking is good, those small clubs demonstrate that a match can not be won solely by attack. I love football because of this. At any time, any team can surprise you.

A team  with good defend  can do a lot in football, but in the case of PSG it's a strong attack that basically breaks a strong defense. Rennes was lucky today, Messi hit the crossbar, and the goal was canceled through the VAR. But that rarely happens this season. You can also focus on the fact that PSG played with City a few days ago and I think they are tired in this match. Ligue 1 for PSG will be a secondary tournament, they will concentrate all their efforts on the Champions League this year, I'm sure of that.

Rennes 2 - 0 PSG



I watched this game and every minute I got irritated, PSG attack was almost non-existent, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe and Icardi and DiMaria seemed to lack motivation, it was as if they weren't even on the field. honestly, PSG is bad on defense, the opponent could easily do what he wanted and PSG's defense was bad

I'm glad I didn't bet on this game

PSG's fortunes against Rennes are always bad. The PSG team has also performed poorly against Rennes in the past. However, the result of today's match was unexpected. Because PSG has one of the best forward lineups in the world. PSG could not score a single goal despite having great players like Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and Di Maria in the team. It really hurt me a lot.

A very unfortunate result while Messi, Neymar and Mbappe played. There were three chances to score, but they didn't take them. But messi created an amazing chance, so I have to applaud him. Anyway, 3 games and still no goals. Lionel Messi has yet to score a goal for PSG in Ligue 1. The only thing I can do is relax and hope at the end of the session he'll have more goals and assist.

A very great performance from Rennes, they managed to beat the giants in Ligue 1 with a score of Rennes 2 - 0 PSG. With this result, Rennes is in 8th place in the standings, while PSG is still at the top.

The final score should have ended with Rennes 3 - 1 PSG, but the potential for 1 goal from each team was annulled after VAR. Mbappe goal which was annulled in the 69th minute and the Rennes penalty which was annulled in the 83rd minute.

We have 1 more exciting game running in Ligue 1, Monaco Vs Bordeaux, while Monaco is still leading 1-0 against Bordeaux, what's your prediction?

[W Jr.]

A surprising result was obtained in the French league. Having won 8/8 in League 1, Paris SG lost 2-0 to Rennes and received their first defeat this season. Nice beat Brest 2-1. Nice, the better team, deserved the win. An important match will be played tonight between Lille and Marseille. Both teams lost points in European tournaments. They want to boost morale by winning the league. I think of Marseille as the team that is closer to victory.

Epic fail!
The fluctuating Rennes was able to win vs the used to be unstoppable PSG... I feel there was some underestimation on the opponents or kind of hype for their performance.. Anyway PSG still has a solid points difference for now.

I always thought PSG wasn't unstoppable after watching the way they have been winning, sometimes it take a break of luck or a late winner, I knew it will not continue for long, Neymar, Messi and mbappe are only names if they don't have a connection with one or two fantastic mid-fielders this is what made Barcelona great even before Messi,. Suarez and neymar formed MSN, PSG need that in their team.

I think otherwise, tonight's game was played at home to Lille and Lille are very strong when they play at home. in terms of strength they are very balanced even though the Marseille standings are far above Lille. I predict Lille will get full points in tonight's match.

I saw them at the end when Herera came in. If you look at the game, it seems they were too hasty in sending the ball into the penalty box, their distance was too wide. Even the players did not move, to open the space. They tend to wait for the ball to reach their feet. Even I see PSG always struggling when they get a quick counter-attack. Luckily at the end the referee was careful and did not give a penalty for Rennnes. They deserved to lose today, PSG didn't play well.

[RapTarX]

Unfortunate me. Other night, I had total 6 bet placed and won one only. Tonight, I placed bet after watching Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria is starting XI & thought it was supposed to be an easy win for them. I really need a break; I can't overcome the losing streak  

[kro55]

Looks like the Lille team is slowly returning to form. They won two matches in a row. Today, they have won 2-0 against the strong Marseille. Marseille has been performing very well since the beginning of the season. It was not easy for Lille to defeat them at this moment. I want the Lille team to perform well and be among the top 3 teams in the points table.

There is some unexpected results this weekend, PSG was the biggest of course but seeing OM failing against Lille which had a poor start is surprising.
I am not sure if Lille could continue like that but catching the second or the third spots isn't that hard in Ligue 1, they have to keep winning most of the games since the other teams will keep failing as usual. First place of course is dedicated to PSG considering the failure of its opponents. Until now and giving +3 points for Nice for their lacking game, PSG is leading the table with 5 goals.

There will be a lot of lost bets because PSG lost to Rennes I also experienced the same thing but still PSG's game was bad even though there were many talented players tonight.

Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria as the starting point but were not able to score a single goal until the end even I saw in his statistics that PSG were not able to kick towards the goal compared to Rennes who tried several times, Well for me it was a bad match and I am quite sorry to see the results.

the main task for Lille for this season is to take place in the Champions League zone. after 9 matches the gap for PSG is too large and they can afford to lose like in today's match vs. Rennes.

My lord, I guess this is not you nor your streak to blame. I am sure hardly anyone put his money on Stade Reims tonight. Honestly I can't even understand how a team like PSG can not even score a goal, let alone lose that game like that. I feel that in France it is ultra hard for the superstars to motivate themselves. France is just not that much of a soccer nation as other countries in Europe. No idea how the fans there are, but I never ever watched a single full game of Ligue 1.

don't forget that they beat Manchester City 2-0 few days ago, this is totally unexpected, and today they couldn't score a single goal or even shoot a shot on goal with all the players they have right now, I think it will take some time for chemistry to build up between players, it is what's missing in PSG squad right now.
