French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Josefjix]

Comparing PSG and Nice is not fair at all and I think if you check the players of both teams you can clearly understand PSG has much better and more expensive players than Nice while Nice doesn't have huge investments like PSG and this is a good reason to say even if these two teams race in the French League but still PSg is going to again win the title like the last season they were racing with Lens.

Everything will work out fine for PSG because they have one of these coaches I've been trying my best to be able to comprehend the entire situation of the club in my own view. PSG is not a team that wouldn't pay their attention to the good running matches around, and most of their players have won Player of the month, giving them edge over these past matches. No doubts, PSG topping the table and they will continue to deep their hands into becoming one of the good balance team with significant scores in matches. Nice are no where near the feets of Paris Saint-Germain because PSG in question happens to be one of the competitive club in Ligue One and they've been consistent for decades.

This season, the Lens team doesn't look good enough, so it's quite natural that Lens lost to PSG at home with only two goals without reply. Apart from that, PSG itself is still quite strong in Ligue1 so it is also natural for PSG to win with two goals without reply at home to Lens. Now PSG is back in the lead again and it is almost impossible for its rivals in Ligue1 to catch up and everyone can guess who will win the trophy again in Ligue1 this season.

In this match, Lens actually had the opportunity to take the lead more quickly after receiving a penalty, but unfortunately they failed to take advantage of this opportunity. I would like to say that the match was very good with action from both sides but again Lens made mistakes so player Gradit got a red card at the end of the first half.

Even with a full game, Lens had difficulty scoring goals, especially with a shortage of players, of course Lens couldn't score. So it is very natural that they win easily in this match, I also see that Mbappe is now playing more maturely and is not so selfish anymore. For them to get the league title will be easier because there is no team that can compete with them, maybe their toughest task will only be in the champions league.

Marseille will gets tough opponent on week 19 Monaco and this match could be so interesting because both teams has been displayed unstable performance and this also makes Marseille have to sacked their previous manager and for Monaco at the beginning of season i was expect they will being an strong contender for race title because from 8 matches Monaco can gets 6 wins at that time but unfortunately Monaco did the same mistakes just like last season that they still unable to managed their consistency

Both teams has gets dissapoint results last week because Marseille only playing draw against Strasbourg and Monaco have to lost from Reims so they will used this match to return to the winning ways and according to the meeting statistics i can see both teams can able to beating each other because from 5 meeting whether it Marseille and Monaco can gets 2 wins each but Monaco has interesting records this season because from away matches they have good records that so far Monaco has got 4 wins and only lost twice besides these records Monaco also has able to win several times at Marseille home ground so in my opinion Monaco has slightly chance to resumes their good records from Marseille and win this match

Brest is a team that is unbeaten in the last 7 Ligue 1 matches and with these consistent results they have moved up to 3rd place in the standings. That is an extraordinary achievement for Brest and I still cannot believe that one of these mediocre teams can survive long enough in the top 4 of the standings. Brest also took advantage of Monaco's previous defeat to get that place and Nice's defeat also really helped them to get closer to PSG in the next match.

Currently the difference between Brest and the other top teams except PSG is only 1 point and if they continue this winning trend until next week then it is possible that Brest will overtake Nice and will also cut the gap from PSG to 6 points. I think that's not a long enough distance and even though PSG are still consistent until week 18, at least they have to start being wary of Brest's movements which are starting to threaten a little.

Although Brest has managed to go unbeaten in its last seven matches but yes, for me Brest cannot pose any threat to PSG who has always managed to dominate Ligue 1. Also, considering Brest last defeat occurred when Brest played against Monaco and yes, at that match Brest lost with a score of 2-0. Meanwhile for PSG, in fact PSG was able to beat Monaco with a score of 5-2 and with these results, at least it is proof that PSG still has a good chance to still beating Brest in the next Ligue 1 match.

After all, in their first meeting this season too, the fact that Brest lost at home by PSG with a score of 2-3 at that time. What's more, in their match in round 19 later, that Brest will play away and thus, then I personally remain fully confident that PSG will still win and of course it will be the end of the winning streak for Brest at this moment.

If we refer to the opponents, here it is clear that PSG is superior to Brest and that is why Brest might be able to threaten but not win the title. We all know how strong PSG is and they are the Ligue 1 club with the best finances so whatever players they want can definitely be brought in to crush all their opponents.

The second round meeting for Brest and PSG will certainly be something to look forward to and if we look at the previous meeting Brest only lost narrowly to PSG and I think this time PSG must be alert if they don't want to lose full points. Brest's winning streak could end in front of PSG and I can't avoid that fact, but if it ends in a draw, of course that is a pretty good result for Brest but not for PSG.

Nice gonna win this coming week, I'm pretty confident in that. Lost a pretty decent Xfun parlay on them losing this past weekend, once they got scored on the second time tho, I was aware that's pretty much that, coincidentally, the only team they scored 3 goals against is PSG lol.

although nice was able to beat PSG even when PSG played at their own home with a score of 2-3. but nice's performance has not been consistent. the weekend lost to renes 2-0. and against a weak team le harve also nice also lost 3-1. so you are happy maybe because at that time won the gambling so not a supporter or fan of nice

Lens had a bigger chance but unfortunately they failed to take advantage of it and had many shots which were not successfull converted into goals so that PSG created their first lead before Lens lost 1 players due to a red card in the first half. In the second half Lens was increasingly out of control because they played with 10 people made it even more difficult for the home team, they became increasingly unstable and were forced to accept their defeat and allowed PSG to steal 3 points from the match and make PSG increasingly comfortable at the top of the standings.

It's true, maybe it was due to Lens declining performance and PSG had to beat them because if you look at it from any angle, PSG has stronger players than Lens, so it's only natural that PSG won easily and Mbappe also remains professional in playing and I don't think so there is something preventing PSG from winning the domestic league title PSG only difficulty is winnings the Champions League title.

It was surprising match result because many football fans and Lens fans initially expected the match result to be at least draw so that Lens could maintain its position in catching up.
But in the end, Lens home match meant they were embarrassed because they lost by 2 goals without reply and this was result that really could not have been imagined from the start.
The look on the face of Franck Haise, who is the Lens coach, looks very disappointed.
He hopes to share the points but has to accept that the team he built has lost points and has the potential to experience decline in the current standings.
On the other hand, Lens also suffered loss where their mainstay defender Gradit received red card, losing one player in their back line made the game even worse and Lens playing style was like team that was in disarray because of the emptiness at the back.

Next, Lens will face Toulouse and they should win even though this is Toulouse home game.
No one can hope for Toulouse to win the match because Lens is also team that is actually not that weak.

In today's match in French Soccer League, Lens vs PSG team played very well in today's match. PSG team played very well. I thought Lens team players will play well in today's match but Lens team's players did not score any goal in today's match due to bad performance.  PSG team won the match today by 2 goals.B.  Barcola scored the first goal in the 30th minute.K.  Mbappe scored the 2nd goal in the 89th minute.

This season, the Lens team doesn't look good enough, so it's quite natural that Lens lost to PSG at home with only two goals without reply.

Yes indeed this season the lens is not too stable but see the lens already have changes slowly improve performance and take over the 8th position while previously under the point table.
The defeat against PSG there are 2 reasons for the first PSG, PSG is very strong and the second cause if Jonathan Gradit did not get a red card, of course the situation could be different and even the two clubs could divide the score ended in a draw.
We'll see as proof that since Jonathan Gradit left the field there was a score created by Mbappe and the difference between Jonathan Gradit left the match with Mbappe scoring a difference of 40+ minutes and this was proof that Lens actually had an increase.
Speaking of who will lead League 1 to the end of the season, of course PSG has locked the title because the difference in points with Nice is very far and the title has become a guarantee for PSG.

Nice are no where near the feets of Paris Saint-Germain because PSG in question happens to be one of the competitive club in Ligue One and they've been consistent for decades.

After 18 rounds, PSG already has an 8-point advantage over Nice, which is behind them, despite the fact that PSG had a difficult start to the season. I have no doubt that PSG will be champions once again, this is without Messi and Neymar. But there is nothing surprising here when we are talking about Ligue 1, teams here have always found it difficult to compete with PSG. Another thing is the Champions League, this is a goal that the team has been pursuing for a long time, but achieving it is not so easy.

Well Lens are pretty good this season but I don’t see them being able to match up with PSG . Though being defeated by 2 unreplied goals is quite crazy especially in front of your home fans. I think PSG dominated this match and had everything working for them.The red card for Lens was quite crazy and that gave PSG, the edge over Lens because the victim was one of Lens solid defender who holds the backline. The emptiness was a strength for PSG to seal the win with a 2nd goal.

Lens faces Toulouse, away at Toulouse and will be all out for the win against Toulouse so as to maintain their stand, but I don’t think this will be quite an easy one and could maybe end in a draw. Although Lens are more favorites to win Toulouse so if I'm to stake on it,  to b on a safer side I'll bet Lens to win or draw.

Even though Lens received a red card, I think he fought well. They played with 10 men in the second half and could not prevent Mbappe's goal in the 89th minute. I think Lens had a not bad performance in the home field. However, of course, I can say that they had a worse season compared to previous years.

Nice looked like a threat to PSG at the beginning of the season and I thought we would have a new Ligue One champions this season. But my expectation turned out to be false because Les Aiglons have lost some important points that would have made them a strong contender for the league title. In five games they have lost three and won only two and are now eight points below PSG.

Until a wealthy investor maybe from Qatar or Saudi Arabia buys another team from the French League I don't if any of them would be able to dethrone PSG. Les Parisiens have enough money to buy all the quality players they need so they don't feel the impact of injuries and suspension of players. But other clubs in the Ligue One are struggling with small budgets that cannot secure quality players. They begin to have problems when they lose key players because there are no good replacements in the team.

And it would have been more difficult for PSG's players to break down the Lens defence. But Frankowski missed the easy opportunity. And Barcola scored from Mbappe's assist in the 30th minute. However, once Lens's defender gets a red car, Lens's gameplay slows down. Winning against a strong opponent like PSG with 10 players was a much more difficult task. And naturally PSG got an easy win in this match.

Maybe Psg would take a risk and score another goal. That's why something happened that changed everything: The penalty was not a goal.

Nice gonna win this coming week, I'm pretty confident in that. Lost a pretty decent Xfun parlay on them losing this past weekend, once they got scored on the second time tho, I was aware that's pretty much that, coincidentally, the only team they scored 3 goals against is PSG lol.

I don't think you should be too happy about Nice beating PSG by 2-3 because after all, Nice also lost by three goals too and even worse, Nice lost by promoted team Le Havre by 3-1. Therefore, I think Nice is not completely good although indeed, in this season Nice has good results because Nice is still the team that has conceded the lowest goals. But about the next match Nice will play at home against Metz, at least Nice has a good chance of winning. But yes, despite Nice being the favored team but I think it is still not easy for Nice to beat Metz because after all, Metz also has a pretty good record for away matches so far this season.

Yes, we shouldn't be too happy to see Nice win their first match against PSG at the start of this season because that is not enough to prove that Nice is really strong this season. Nice's performance is not very consistent so is still a little doubtful when doing various things match because recently Nice just suffered a defeat at home Rennes which further widened the gap with PSG to eight points, and in the next match Nice will host Metz. I think Nice has a bigger chance of winning considering that Metz is in a bad condition recently and has suffered a losing streak in the last 5 matches so Nice must make good use of home opportunities if they want to continue to be in 2nd place.

Although Nice is in second place, it cannot perform well enough. Still, they are not the teams that will threaten PSG. Neither Nice, nor Monaco, nor Lille. We see that Psg will win the league by a wide margin this season. Also, this may be the last season they have Mbappe. Mbappe is performing great this year. Even though it is his last year, there is a situation that will leave a mark on Mbappe.

Maybe Psg would take a risk and score another goal. That's why something happened that changed everything: The penalty was not a goal.

well, that's what I actually mean, the match could have ended in a draw if Frankowski had scored during the penalty kick and also if the Lens defender had not received a red card.
everyone must have watched the match at that time even though some people said Lens were weak but for me not because even though they were competing with only 10 players Lens were still able to compete and provide resistance that put pressure on PSG defense even though they didn't score but I was amazed by Lens performance which looked very good.
It's just that the fierce competition became very bad when the defense became a little weak and the score that Mbappe scored was the result of a comeback when the Lens players were too advanced and in the end Dembele managed to pass Mbappe.

I am very sure that all the conditions in yesterday's match could almost have ended in a draw, but everything became very bad after the red card came.

[rendravolt]

Lyon's previous winning streak disappeared after they lost in the away match against Le Havre. But this defeat cannot be fully justified because playing with 10 people was certainly very difficult for Lyon. O'Brien was the first player to leave the field after receiving a red card from the referee in the first half. It was clear that this was a very detrimental match for Lyon, especially since their moment of revival had to be ruined by this unequal match.

Le Havre was certainly very lucky after Lyon couldn't play with a complete squad and they didn't waste it at all and managed to score 3 goals against Lyon. Even though the results could already be seen, Lyon suffered another loss after their second player Caleta received a red card and had to be sent off by the referee in the final minute. Now Lyon has lost two important defenders in their squad and I doubt they will be able to win their next match considering that these two defensive line players have been absent for several matches.

I would say the main reason Lens lost in this match was not  being able to score from a penalty chance in the seventh minute. If the Lens players could score from the penalty and take a 1-0 lead, the PSG players would be under more pressure.

And naturally PSG got an easy win in this match.

In first thirty minutes, we had good fight from Lens and things were going into their favour as well but after missed penalty and conceding goal they were down red card bring more misery with lost of the match and hope for the better positive change now they have chance for the something good, but they need to regroup themselves which is important case otherwise few teams which are improving their quality and have enough quality can give them shock.

In second half PSG were completely dominating even they fail to score more than 1 goal but still things were going good for them and Lens were looking not impressive like we have them in first thirty minutes now after this win PSG is having 8 points difference from second spotted Nice which is also having decline in performance, so another easy title is waiting for them in this season.

I thought Lens team players will play well in today's match but Lens team's players did not score any goal in today's match due to bad performance.  PSG team won the match today by 2 goals.B.  Barcola scored the first goal in the 30th minute.K.  Mbappe scored the 2nd goal in the 89th minute.

This season, the Lens team doesn't look good enough, so it's quite natural that Lens lost to PSG at home with only two goals without reply. Apart from that, PSG itself is still quite strong in Ligue1 so it is also natural for PSG to win with two goals without reply at home to Lens. Now PSG is back in the lead again and it is almost impossible for its rivals in Ligue1 to catch up and everyone can guess who will win the trophy again in Ligue1 this season.

Even though Lens received a red card, I think he fought well. They played with 10 men in the second half and could not prevent Mbappe's goal in the 89th minute. I think Lens had a not bad performance in the home field. However, of course, I can say that they had a worse season compared to previous years.

However, once Lens's defender gets a red car, Lens's gameplay slows down. Winning against a strong opponent like PSG with 10 players was a much more difficult task. And naturally PSG got an easy win in this match.

PSG won 2-0 against Lens. A penalty 8 minutes into the match could have definitely been the turning point for Lens if they could have scored that penalty. I wouldn't say that Lens would have won against PSG if they scored that penalty, but if they didn't win, this match would have been more likely to be a draw. If Lens had scored in the first eight minutes, Lens would have gone ahead and PSG would have had a goal to repay them at any cost, for which they would have counter-attacked and focused more on scoring. Whenever a team goes up to score, the opposing team has an opportunity to score against that team. However, Mbappe's finish was superb at the end and his goal ensured PSG's win against Lens. 
However, Lens must work on their mistakes and the manager must work to ensure that at least penalty kicks are not missed in the next important match.
