French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Docnaster]

Lyon leading by a goal already isn't looking really nice for nice (lol), Nice is currently like the second best team in the Ligue 1 after PSG this season and they are expected to win playing against Lyon who just got out of relegation recently but then it's looking like they seem to have gotten more strength and confidence after getting out of relegation.

Nice has lost two game already going by their records of their most recent five games, they are not looking so promising as finishing second by this results as they are supposed to finish even at the second position because PSG is currently far away from them but then finishing second will means they will be able to get to secure a spot at the champions league next season which isn't a bad achievement at all , let hope to see what happens in the second half and expect more goals from Lyon or probably Nice be able to equalize.

72 minutes gave already been played in the French league game between Lyon and Nice at the Groupama Stadium and the home team is still leading with one goal which was scored in the 22nd minute by Orel Mangala. Lyon actually started the season on a very bad note but in recent games they've been getting good results which was enough for them to overcome the relegation fight.
Unlike Lyon, Nice started the season on a very impressive run and were seen as the only club that was gonna challenge Paris Saint Germaine for the French league title but considering their poor results in recent games, Nice I don't think stands a chance to win the league title this season

Here is the current odds for the match between Lyon vs Nice

Lyon @2.65
Nice @2.70
Draw @2.90

This is hard match for both teams especially for Lyon that this team is still hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and actually they are in the good condition especially after gets the winning result from Montpellier last week although their position still not fully safe but at least this result makes Lyon has just open their chances to survive at Ligue 1 and their opponent Nice position currently stil at 2nd place but recently Nice performance is not really good especially last week they have lost from Monaco with narrow scores and this result too makes Nice was failed to cut their gap points with PSG and their position also threaten by Monaco

I have to says the competition to gets champion league spots is more interesting than for race title this because the difference points between the teams from 2nd place to 6th place is not too far so that's why if Nice want to secured 2nd place they have to win from Lyon and today Lyon player Jake O'Brien will not be available and for Nice they will lost Dante and this player was got suspension after received red card when Nice beated from Monaco and actually it's hard to predict this match because both teams has equal conditions but indeed Lyon has slightly chance to win this match but besides pick for Lyon win i think under 2.5 goals also safe bet

It seems like a good decision to go for betting on Nice for this match. Because I think regardless of their recent performance we saw in French Lweague they are a team at the top of the table and they can have a much better and higher chance to win this game easily against Lyon. We can't forget Lyon was a team at the bottom of the table and they are even losing games against the weaker teams and I think even in the best form for Lyon, they can't beat Nice at all.

And currently Lyon has the lead after a goal scored by Mangala in the 22nd minute, the match is still ongoing with the score 1-0. However, if you look at the game statistics, Nice will have difficulty making a comeback because Lyon's game has been very solid so far.

Sometimes betting only based on standings is very wrong, we also have to look at the H2H of both teams before betting. Lyon is a big team, and they are recovering from a slump in the first half of the season, and now in the second half of the season Lyon's strength is slowly starting to rise.

Indeed I made a mistake by judging Lyon from the beginning that they are not ready to perform this season but of recent they are making progress to recover from the lost points they had earlier, I was surprised to even see that Lyon are taking lead against Nice, this is going to affect Nice if the game end in favour of Lyon, because Monaco have 39 points and brest have 37 points, if eventually they win then Nice have no choose but to move to 4th position, less than 20 minutes to the finals whistle but still let wait till the game end because even in extra time anything can happen.

Nice tried their best in the second half this time in order to equalize the score but Lyon did not want to miss the points just like that at this time because however by looking at what is happening now even in terms of possession they are still balanced but it looks like Lyon continues to try to secure their 1 goal so as not to be avenged because indeed this could be an important point for Lyon even though they have been freed from the relegation zone but their position has not changed much and with this victory it will consolidate their previous 2 matches and of course this will make them more confident.
It's already halfway through the season and of course with 1 goal in hand I think Lyon will try to hold on and try not to be provoked by the intimidation of the Nie players who are starting to feel a little troubled in the remaining time.
I didn't bet on this game but I'm happy to watch it and quite happy with Lyon's win in this game.

[ginsan]

maybe everyone will be too focused on the Lyon vs Nice match, which now I am certain that Nice will still win even though I don't really like that team, but I just took advantage of betting on that match to bet on Nice winning.

but there are several other interesting matches that are worth discussing when Lille lost against Lyon in other competitions and lost against PSG and will then have the opportunity to improve.
Lille vs Le Havre performance is different and from the performance data of these two teams, Lille was still able to get 2 wins even though the results were not as good as we expected, but believe me Lille will get 3 points from Le Havre.

You are so confident that Nice can win. Look at the current score where Lyon is leading the match with a 1-0 lead. The match has entered the final minutes and this is a good opportunity for Lyon to take advantage of their advantage to maintain until the end of the match. Lyon performance in Ligue 1 has been getting better lately and they have managed to get out of the relegation zone. I think Nice have lost their best form and if they lose this match then they have no chance to bother PSG at the top.

For this reason, don't underestimate a team because in this match Lyon is playing at home and this must be paid as much attention as possible before making a decision to bet. Lyon managed to continue their winning trend and one of their strengths looks to be improving and they must maintain that.

Lyon is currently doing the unbelievable lately I won't be surprised if they end up beating the league leaders very soon since they were able to hold the second place team to a 1:0 defeat. Lyon is currently 11th in the league standings with 25 points after 22 matches played, they stand a better chance not to go back to the relegation zone once they keep up with their recent good performance. Permit me to use your lines, they really acted the role of the host to the second ranked team is French Ligue1.

Lyon sudden progress comes from the endlessly supports from their fans and the players take upon themselves to execute good performance on the pitch. Perhapes they slack behind interms of stellar performance but one lucky good thing about them, they don't allow their opponents to mount pressure on them without Lyon reciprocating the exact same or even higher energy. Lyon started poor this season, everyone thought they actually going to get relegated from the top Ligue One division but Olympique Lyonnais bounces back and this time, the top four becomes the ultimate target for the team.

It's full time at the Groupama Stadium and surprisingly, Lyon who started the season on a very bad note were able to hang on and defeat second placed Nice to further pull themselves out of the relegation zone of the league table.
The defeat of Nice tonight I think have put to bed any possibility of seeing Nice stopping Paris Saint Germaine from winning the French league title at the end of the current season of you ask me and that I think makes the French league very boring for fansof the French league. Paris Saint Germaine now have to focus on the UEFA Champions League because I think it's almost certain that they're gonna win the league title this season

[Slow death]

Nice's situation is not good at all, they started very well this season, it even seemed like they were going to be able to compete for the title and they were going well, but out of nowhere they started to decline a lot, in the last 5 games they only won once, something worrying. because nice's biggest weapon was the excellent defense that nice had, but in the last 10 games nice conceded goals in most of the games, I was already predicting this decline for nice because they had great difficulties in scoring since the beginning of the season. goal, that was a problem I was talking about, winning games with just 1 goal would constantly become a problem sooner or later because they trusted their defense a lot

as they hardly conceded goals so in a game where they managed to score just 1 goal and didn't concede any goals, they came out of that game with victory and that's how nice came out on top, but when their defense failed then they would decline. because they would start to concede a lot of goals while they are unable to score many goals and as a consequence they would lose games, and that is what is happening with Nice. the opponent of today's game was an opponent who is recovering and is fighting to stay away from the relegation zone and is already showing great signs of recovery, with 2 consecutive victories coming into this game, it was clear that there were great chances for the nice to lose in this game and that's what happened, nice lost.

With this victory Lyon is in position number 11 and now has 3 consecutive victories, it doesn't even seem like some time ago Lyon was in a very low position, I even thought they would be relegated, but they managed to recover and now they are in position 11 and probably continued to climb, I wonder what position they will end up in. One thing is clear to everyone with the result of today's game: PSG is already very far away and looking at all the teams, it is already safe to say that PSG are already champions of this season once again. now with mbappe leaving at the end of the season, PSG's dominance could probably be reduced next season

Lyon home match was really surprising because it managed to prevent Nice from being able to create goal advantage and Lyon won 1 - 0 in this match which could also provide distance or raise the standings ranking further away from the relegation zone.
Nice is the team that is in 2nd place and Nice has previously performed quite well, very few people make Lyon the favorite but because Lyon can play well it is quite natural that they win over Nice.
Nice can also dominate the game from possession of the ball and attacks, but it is shame that they failed in this match, it seems that many people were disappointed with Nice defeat.

Currently, Lyon is in 11th position with 25 points and they can be more calm because they are safe from the relegation zone, in the next match, Lyon will meet in the match against Metz.
Metz is team that can be said to be weak, so it is possible for Lyon to win again and get more points to secure their position, if they fail then the opportunity for Lyon to go down again could be very big.

Lyon are now close to the top 10 in the standings because the three points from the win against Nice lifted their position several places, but this is only temporary because Nantes and Le Havre have the opportunity to overtake Lyon's position if they manage to win over their opponents.
Lyon's three consecutive wins have really helped them stay away from the relegation zone, and next week against Metz Lyon has the opportunity to maintain this winning streak.
Nice had quite a difficult time penetrating Lyon's defense and their failure to maximize all the opportunities created made it even more difficult for them to equalize to try get one point.
The results of this match are very likely to make Nice drop in ranking if Monaco manages to win over Toulouse and Monaco does have a big chance of beating Toulouse, but it is impossible for Monaco to catch up with PSG who will definitely become Ligue 1 champions this season.

[bering]

Lyon is really displayed good performance yesterday that they were taking initiative to attack in early match Lyon also patiently trying to broke the defense of Nice which is we all know Nice has strong defense this season and the result is Orel Mangala can utilized the weaknesses of Nice to scored and after leading the game Lyon also can successfully to managed their defense until match ended which make they can able to stole 3 points from Nice today but for Nice this result is being an their 5th loses this season and their position will be threaten by Monaco because if tomorrow Monaco win from Toulouse then Nice position will be overtaked by Monaco

For upcoming match there is Lille vs Le Havre and both teams have same results because they got 2 losing streak each in Ligue 1 and today Lille status as the favourite this because their opponent Le Havre was very weak during playing at their home ground opponents and this season Le Havre only get 1 win from 10 away matches so although Lille condition is not really good but i think today they will be able to bounce back and collect 3 points from this match but recently i have checked the odds for Lille they have low odds @1.50 but i think besides this option over 2.5 goals also good for this match

As I said before, if Lyon could beat Nice in yesterday's match, that would be a sign that Lyon had started to improve the performance of the players because previously I said that if Lyon could hold the match to a draw, that would be a very extraordinary result to get 1 point, but it turns out that Lyon was more than extraordinary but really really great trying to be more consistent in getting points in every game and staying away from the red zone.
1-0 score is narrow but very extraordinary for Lyon but do you think Lyon can beat Metz in the next match?
I saw a 3x winning streak and I was just worried that against a weak club Lyon would only be able to hold a draw but I hope my thinking is wrong.

I still have confidence that Lyon will soon recover and there will be no more downturns or if perhaps you feel a little unsure about Lyon, just see how Lyon will perform, who will finish off Metz and embarrass him at home even though in the history of meetings between the two clubs, Lyon has only beaten Metz once but the past and present situations are very different and you have to give Lyon your trust and opportunity in the upcoming matches.

[Velvet78]

Another win by Lyon, nice! However I must admit their performance was really horrible on one hand. Only one shot on target which was enough to score and win the game...

At this point of course it doesn't matter how Lyon win as long as they get three points. But when they secure their staying in the Ligue 1 they had better work hard on solving these big issues. It was unlucky for Nice at the same time maybe but I wouldn't link this loss with only luck of course. Their low-scoring character in the season has really been likely to cause trouble for them and here we are. They are even risking their presence in top four by these poor results recently. 

[Godday]

I saw a 3x winning streak and I was just worried that against a weak club Lyon would only be able to hold a draw but I hope my thinking is wrong.

Lyon has really performed extraordinary in the last 3 matches. They were surprisingly able to beat Marseille, Lille and now Nice. Lyon is really very tough against the top teams in the standings. I like seeing Lyon as it should be. After several weeks in the relegation zone and many doubting Lyon's performance, they are now performing extraordinary and beating the big teams.

They lost to a mediocre team but that was before getting 3 wins in a row. I think Lyon is very confident. They can really make a surprise in the League. And of course they can play without pressure because currently they are in a safe position in the league. They are unlikely to target a slot in the European league because I think it will be very difficult with the number of games remaining.

[MAAManda]

Don't know which team will play better and win? it certainly goes to LOSC Lille, look at the odds in the bookies. Based on the odds on Rollbit, LOSC Lille gets @1.51 to win, @4.1 to draw and @6.6 for Le Havre to win. This match is a home match for LOSC Lille, apart from that, from the H2H of the two teams we can see that LOSC Lille has never lost to Le Havre. This makes me even more confident that LOSC Lille will win easily and @1.51 isn't as bad as it seems.

Basically Lille still has a good trend, especially for their home games so far this season. Also, in reality, in the first meeting between Le Havre v Lille this season, the fact is that Lille managed to beat Le Havre with a score of 0-2. Therefore, at least playing at home will still provide a good chance for Lille to succeed in beating Le Havre again. Indeed, even though Le Havre is only a promoted team, but in reality Le Havre has also had good abilities so far this season in Ligue 1 . Therefore, even though it will not be easy to beat Le Havre but still, basically Lille still has a good chance of being able to win in the home match against Le Havre.

Le Havre became a team to be reckoned with after they managed to produce unexpected results such as beating Lyon & Nice and holding AS Monaco to two draws. Then, of the 21 matches they have played, they have 5 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses. From that composition we can know that Le Havre likes to play defensively, which is what makes the assumption of a possible draw in the match against LOSC Lille this time. But we'll see what happens later, LOSC Lille playing at home will certainly put pressure on them.

Agreed, that's amazing to see that how lyon was coming back with very good points. The club is now leaving from the relegation zone and lyon is still stayning at the middle position. it's also making the situation even better than before. I hope that if lyon will able to go up again and enter the top 10 shortly.
The team is starting to get its confidence again after it was facing very difficult situation stayed at the bottom place. It has surprised a lot of people by seeing lyon is now performing even better than early season.

Many people predicted that if lyon will be going to the lower division but it's not true. it seemed to me the new coach has been working very well. it was also pushing the mentality from lyon to be even better compared to when the old coach was still managing the club.
There have been many changes happened to the club. As long as lyon will continue the good trend and it's possible for this club to climbing up as soon as possible caused by it can get winstreak.

The points owned by lyon is not that far compared with the club that is still placing at the 10th. Lyon can continue the snowball coz the next game will not be a hard game for lyon. Metz was a medriocre team and it's fuckin easy to get three points.

It's a human psychology, when you're in danger, you will try to do anything you can aka your best because you were not used all of your potential. Lyon is like that, there must be something that trigger them, which makes them able to perform and beat the top clubs.

Theoretically it's possible for Lyon to achieve top 6 positions, but they must win streaks the rest of their matches.

Have bad started in the early season begin, finally Lyon success break out their position from relegation zone and until matchday 22 have move to 11th standings position.
The victory against Nice make Lyon on the comfort zone behind 6 points left from relegation zone, actually Lyon performed against Nice not really impressive yet looking with statistic Nice more dominance from ball possession until shots on target.
Has chance for Lyon return to Europe League or Champion League spot standings behind ten points left and 12 matches left if can consistent its not difficult break to top fourth standings. Next match, Lyon will face relegation zone Metz and easily to get three points for making close with top position standings.

In fact, Lyon's revival has been visible in the last few matches and even though their opponent is a better team this season, they can still beat them as long as they have more self-confidence. I think this narrow victory is very appropriate and there are no further expectations regarding other results. Nice is also in a slump and that is what makes it quite doubtful that they will win even if their opponent is Lyon.

Lyon still hold the competition in high regard and even though at the start of the season they were almost certain to be relegated because they had not changed at all but now we can see they can start again from the start and I am happy they haven't given up at all. Lyon is one step closer to breaking into the top 10 of the standings and Nice is in a dangerous situation because they could increasingly be displaced by other teams such as Monaco and Brest who are getting closer to them. Inconsistency is the beginning of the downfall of a team and that is what Nice is doing right now. About the top 6? Lyon can beat that if they manage to win against the teams above them in the second round.
