French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[AakZaki]

PSG already have a very complete squad at this time after Sergio Ramos recovered from injury, only last week they had to lose Neymar who suffered a serious injury. But this week against Nice, who is in 3rd place, is not difficult for PSG and can win easily with a score of 2-0 or 3-0, especially since Messi who won the Ballon D'or this season makes PSG more confident against Nice.

Playing at the Parc de princes of course PSG have a better mentality. Their stats are also good against Nice. But if you look at the predictions in the sofascore.com almost seven PSG players are injured. They are Draxler, Ander Herrera, Icardi, Alexandre Letellier, Neymar, Verratti
and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Although many are injured, I don't think Pochettino will be dizzy. Messi is doing well at the moment he has also won the title of the best player in the world. So the duo of Mbappe and Messi are still strong enough to face Nice.

What a great day for Monaco! They just had a great game against Angers today and won it by 3-1 away. Considering the places of both teams before this game, I thought directly like it would be a very tough and competitive game. But it didn't turn out to be that way. Monaco got 2-0 ahead and Angers tried to turn the game around by decreasing the gap by one. But Monaco were very determined to win and ended the hopes of their competitor by scoring another goal. Maybe this could be a sign for Monaco to start performing better in the coming a few games.

We didn't see any goal in first half of PSG - Nice game. Over 1.5 goals for second half would be a good bet. Home team over 1.5 goals also give better odds, I'm pretty sure PSG will find at least two goals in second half. They control the game but couldn't find the first goal, when they lead the game it will be easier to find second goal. Right now Nice is okay with draw here, but things may change very fast after first goal.

Some unexpected results right now lyon are losing at home against reims 1 0 despite being dominante in the game they couldnt score in the first half and not many goal chances i think they need some fresh legs and also lille are taking the lead 2 0 against rennes and they are on their way to stop the no winning streak of six games.

It's good that PSG did not concede a goal in today's match - I was ready to make a bet (for the reasons I wrote above) but PSG was not ready to win today. In general, it was a normal game, nothing interesting, one can only mention the goalkeeper of Nice. Messi did not score again (apparently the 7th golden ball gave him little encouragement).

It was good? it was lame given that there is a big gap between the squad value of both team. I think I have said it few times but whenever PSG play with most of their regular starting lineup, they should have win every game but PSG is still way ahead than the other team. This league would be a bit more interesting if only PSG lose like another two games lol

Messi did not score again (apparently the 7th golden ball gave him little encouragement).

Im not sure why people keep on expecting Messi to score in every game. He is no longer playing in Barcelona so its never going to be the same anymore. He is still one of the GOAT but he is not going to score and carry the whole game everytime

Nice must be really lucky that they drew with PSG today. The result would have been much more different considering PSG's very high effort. They dominated both halves and Nice didn't find many goal opportunities also. But still they secured a 0-0 draw somehow. This game proved one thing once more that there is an insane power difference between PSG and even the teams that are very close to them in the league standings. By saying "close", I mean the place in the league standings of course. Otherwise, there is a huge point difference now.

It is actually a good result for both, Nice getting closer from Rennes and not far from OM while PSG kept the same distance from them.
Regarding the results of top 5 teams, OM profited the most from this round, jumping to the 2nd place while missing 1 match

psg dominated the game, psg also had many chances to score goals, but Nice's defense was very neat so it was very difficult for psg to score goals, the draw that Nice got against psg was extraordinary, at least Nice has got one point, because psg is a club full of stars, the french league can be won make sure psg lift the trophy..

this is a football match, it's hard to predict, which on paper can win the game but in fact can only get a draw, like the psg club which is studded with stars, and many great players, the player who entered the de'or balloon, and one of the psg players leonel messi got the balloon de'or award, but psg was not able to get the full 3 points, psg was also held to a draw by Nice.

This is normal for PSG this season.They cannot score with a superstar team,probobly one of the best teams in history by names in the squad. PSG is lucky that there is a big point difference and that the league dosent matter much now currently.But honestly expected more from them,didnt even once seen that they destroyed someone this season.

Squad full up with star players, yet in the field performance not meet up to the mark. Their presence means nothing but disguise entire of the season. This things totally absurd and it generally emerge many inquiry. They has significance role, as they're playing in a vital position. I've seen seriousness in their style of playing yet teamwork must necessary!

[hahay]

Again, PSG ruined my parlay bet, how can it be throughout the match by leading the ball possession, having better goal attempts and also good shots on goal but not a single goal being created. PSG clearly dominated the match which of course is very likely to get full points but again and again, PSG is always a ruin on the bets I make. Indeed, nothing has changed the standings for PSG and PSG remain strong at the top, but if this kind of performance cannot be improved then of course PSG will be far from the UCL title and they seem to be satisfied only in local tournaments with the squad they have.

Forward's players failed to score so they drew the match. I didn't think PSG played badly. They have attacked a lot. But could not score. PSG made 22 shots. However, out of 22 shots, only 5 are on-target shots. I expected a better performance from Mbappe. But his performance in this match was very poor.

PSG has also coordinated all the famous and expensive players in the world. The team has a lot of star players. Almost everyone is talented and experienced. But at the end of the day we are disappointed to see their performance. Bonding between players is not good. Their teamwork is weak. This team has played more than 20 matches. The coach still could not strengthen the bonding between the players. PSG should change coaches now. And I believe PSG will change their coach if they do not win the Champions League.

Actually, PSG's draw with Nice does not threaten PSG's position, because until the 16th round, PSG still leads by 12 points with Marseille who is
in second place. Marseille still has one game left, but even though Marseille won PSG are still at the top. PSG's failure to win actually proves that
even though having many star players does not guarantee it will be easy to win.

We also can't blame Mbappe for playing badly, because Mbappe is human too, meaning he won't always play well in every game. Sometimes he play
badly, we should be able to understand that. The one who should be blamed in my opinion is Pochettino who can't manage the star players at PSG.
Supposedly if the strikers failed to score a goal, Pochettino as a coach can change strategy or replace players who play badly. Although Mbappe is
a star player, but that doesn't mean he have to keep playing for 90 minutes, if the performance is not good, Pochettino must dare to replace it
by giving other players a chance. Hopefully Pochettino can learn from this match, even though the quality of Nice's players is far below PSG,
if PSG fail to win, it means something is wrong.

Even though PSG got a draw against Nice in Parc des Princes by 0-0 yesterday, they are still more than 10 points ahead of the team at the second position which are Marseille now. I think that Rennes' loss to Lille was quite surprising. It was a home game for Rennes and they had a perfect form in the recent times. They weren't getting any loss for 9 weeks. But Lille put an end to their great unbeaten streak by defeating them by 2-1. And Lille ended their winless streak of 6 games too thanks to this victory.

If a coach cannot make a good place with a team full of superstars, I think it is the fault of the coach because the players have already proven themselves in the past and also multiple times with multiple teams. So basically it must be a problem in the strategy or the authority is just not right.

[coderben]

Lille and Monaco won yesterday by 2-1 against Rennes away and 3-1 against Angers away respectively. But Lyon got a shocking result against Reims in their home match. Lyon were dominating the first half but there was no goal. And the second half was a bit different as Reims started playing more effectively too. And they won the match too by getting ahead two times. Something is not going on very good for Lyon and they need to recover.

I think there are a lot of problems strategy-wise in the team because if a forward with Messi, Neymar, and mbappe can't score goals then I don't know which forward can. I think that you should get rid of their calls as soon as possible and get someone who is actually better at this job and will do well with this team.
