French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[odunybiz]

I'm not sure why Luis Enrique didn't play his best squad in the match against Reims. He chose to keep many of his main players and chose to play second-string players at the start of the match, but things didn't go smoothly as Reims completely ruined that plan by scoring 2 goals in the first half.

It may be true that Luis Enrique wants to maintain the physical fitness of his main players after winning the second leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad, but saving a lot of energy ahead of the French Cup quarter-final match is also a reason. Of course it was surprising because in the end PSG failed to secure 3 points at home, which was their third draw in three consecutive matches. But PSG still leads the standings with a 10 point advantage where Brest, PSG's closest competitor, also lost the match against Marseille.

PSG already having 10 points lead, and they are also qualified for the Champions League quarterfinal which is making things good just because of this now coach is using his bench power for the better results, but he fails to keep things on better level because their reserve players are fail to give them better results even situation is well under control for the all with they are also trying to have better results without Kylian Mbappé which is going to leave the team in coming transfer window for me it's better strategy hopefully he will be able to have things under well control as they will lose their best player and will be played without him.

I believe Luis Enrique isn't after the league title anymore as he believes his team has secured it already as they are 9 points ahead of Breast which is 2nd on the league table and they are also with an outstanding match.

Luis Enrique is good coach, and he is already well-prepared how to handle this all when they will be not able to have their best player and on which positions they needed players for the next season which will increase their strength.

How I wish PSG can be lucky to win the Champion league this season Mbappe is leaving the team. This has been the team's dream that has made them to buy some key players back then. I know this look impossible with the likes of Real Madrid in the Champion league but nothing is impossible in football.

PSG drew again and Mbappe only came on in the second half. It seems Enrique is trying to get PSG used to not relying on Mbappe because he will leave soon. This is the third consecutive tie. There are still 9 games left, they should still be looking for 3 points in each game. Because Brest still has a chance to chase PSG's points.

What Enrique has done is right, because PSG have a great dependence on Mbappe and that's why until now PSG are not willing if Mbappe moves to another team, but I think with the difference in points they currently have in the table wouldn't it be better not to play Mbappe in the league and only play him in the Champions League?
Not to remove Mbappe from the squad, but at least then Enrique goal to eliminate the team dependence on Mbappe materialized and at least it gives Mbappe a rest so that later he is in top shape when playing in the Champions League.

In my opinion the draw that PSG got today does not give a big change to the ligue 1 standings because so far PSG leads with a difference of 10 goals from brest in second place, 1 point is not a negative result for PSG today compared to brest who actually got their 5th defeat today against lens, so PSG still remains the same as before leading the standings quite calmly without any interference from other teams this season,  Ligue 1 currently only has 13 left match and it looks like this season will be no different from last season for PSG to win their title before the season ends and honestly it will be difficult for Brest to stop PSG current run with the number of games remaining.

For the third time in a row, Paris Saint Germaine have drawn their French Ligue 1 games but the surprising thing about the results is that many expected them to easily win these games that they ended up sharing points with their opponents. Against Reims today, I was one of the people who predicted that Paris Saint Germaine were going to easily win the game but little did I know that Luis Enrique's men would not be able to beat an average team like Reims even when they played the game at home. In the last three French league games, Luis Enrique have not allowed Kylian Mbappe to play the full 90 minutes and that I think is the main reason why they've not won those games. After the draw against Rennes, he was asked by the media why he didn't allow Kylian Mbappe to play the full 90 and he said he substituted him off because very soon the club will be playing games without Kylian Mbappe and that he wants his players to get used to it. However, when they played their important game in the UEFA Champions League competition last week at Real Sociedad, he allowed Mbappe to play full 90 minutes of which the France international scored the two goals that Paris Saint Germaine needed to win the game.

Luis Enrique must stop benching or removing Kylian Mbappe from the team when he's very fit enough to play and I don't think his reason of not playing Kylian Mbappe is justifiable enough if you ask me abd the earlier he starts allowing Mbappe to play full 90 minutes in the league games the better for him else, he might see his team struggling to win the French league title at the end of of tbe current season.

[Leviathan.007]

Personally I wasn't surprised by the result of this draw, I watched PSG's game in the first half wasn't that impressive and in fact I thought they were a little lucky to score 2 goals in the first half.
The performance of PSG's forward players is very bad if Mbappe is not there. This needs to be paid attention to. When Mbappe leaves at the end of the season, PSG must be able to find a suitable replacement player, otherwise they will suffer next season.

Yes, the results were not satisfactory because they experienced three draws in a row and shared points with their opponents, although it may be difficult for other clubs to overtake PSG at the top of the standings because the point difference is still quite large, a draw with Reimz is also unpredictable. that the results are the same and not good enough, PSG has a lot of money. I'm sure if Mbappe leaves PSG next season of course they will get a better player than him, but we will see how Mbappe plays in the rest of this season for PSG, because they are still playing at UCL and Mbappe is still needed for that.

PSG must be able to immediately fix this bad result. Having consecutive draws will not look good, because if they want to win the title again this season they must be able to continue to maintain their position and get the full three points again in the few remaining games at the end of the season. Currently, apart from winning the Ligue 1 title, of course PSG is also chasing the UCL title this season, it is possible that they still have a chance to get the UCL title, at least Mbappe can still give his final offering to PSG before leaving, namely getting the title this season.

Many people like you think PSG or any wrong teams should win all the games they have and even they should not take a draw against any team. which can put the teams under pressure in the games they have and this can be harmful for any team.
Even PSG is a team that can make a mistake and even if they lose a game or get a draw that's not bad for them because still they are in the first place in the French League and still they have the chance to win the Champions League which is good enough to Enrique and his player.
I think PSG didn't have a bad performance but sadly they recently got many draws in the games we saw from this team.

[Furious 7]

With the quality of players owned and by playing at home, it is very natural that PSG will be the favorite in this match, especially with Reims' game declining in the last few matches and unable to maintain consistency well, I really think this could be an easy match for PSG.

It's just that in this match PSG also must not falter and underestimate Reims because they can also be very troublesome, especially the two Reims wingers whose movements are quite fast they must be aware of Ito and Daramy are still quite troublesome players so PSG cannot underestimate this match because even though they are favorites, Reims with the fast counter-attacks they always do can trouble PSG in the end.

Even though in the last two matches PSG had difficulty winning, I think the match against Reims can be easy. To be honest, this match is easy to predict, because the difference in strength between the two teams is clear, where PSG is very dominant and Reims is not an equal opponent. On paper, betting on PSG winning is quite safe without needing much consideration, because I don't think Reims will make PSG lose at the Parc des Princes. The previous victory over Sociedad could motivate Enrique's fleet to win today.

On the other hand, even though PSG played again to a draw, their position is still quite safe at the top of the standings. Currently they have a 9 point difference with Brest, where if they succeed in beating Reims again the difference will increase to 12 points. Like the previous season, this season PSG was able to win the Ligue 1 championship trophy again. However, the ease of competition in Ligue 1 made it difficult for them to compete in the Champions League.

See, my words yesterday came true today where PSG managed to be held to a draw by Reims even in today's match and even PSG must be willing to fall behind first with a goal at the beginning of the first half scored by Munetsi in the 7th minute.

As I said before Reims' counter-attacks are quite fast and if PSG don't pay too much attention to that then they will be troubled because indeed the speed on both sides of the Reims attack is always troublesome for their opponents.
This should be a situation where the match is used as a lesson by PSG because even though their individual skills and strength are superior, in the end they still have many gaps that can be penetrated by the opposing club including when PSG tries to control the rhythm of the attack which makes them unaware of their defense having problems in the match.
A score of 1 point when playing home and when PSG is the favorite in my opinion it is an adverse condition but it is still quite fortunate that they did not lose points in today's match.

[rahmad2nd]

The match ended in a 2:2 draw with both teams sharing points, It's another disappointing result from the home team PSG for falling to utilize them home advantage to win against a team like Reims who is struggling to be among the first ten team in the league table but PSG couldn't win them due to their good defense and wonderful saves by their goal keeper helps them to secure a draw from away. PSG dominated the game, got more goal attempts and corners but at the end of the day the game ended in a draw making PSG to be 10 points ahead of the second placed team Brest in the league table after 25 matches played.

Enrique did not play his full starting eleven in this match, it is only natural that in 3 days Paris Saint-Germain will play against Nice in the Coupe de Princess, in the quarter-final edition. That's why Luis Enrique saved his players' energy and only played the remaining half of the second half. In this match, Enrique only relied on Goncalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee and Barcola. the rest is played in the middle of the 2nd half. however, Paris Saint-Germain remains superior in this match. They dominated the game, total shots, technicals and remained secure in their position at the top of the standings even though this match ended in a draw. Overall, Luis Enrique's team squad did not play optimally, especially the defense line players and the PSG goalkeeper.

As for the away team, Will Still's squad will be grateful if PSG does not play its full core of players. In the end, Reims was able to draw this match. thus, Reims' position remains safe in the rankings. At least, they are 4 points ahead of Lyon who are ranked 10th. Meanwhile, PSG remains safe in its ranking even though the match ended in a draw. In essence, Luis Enrique is focused on other competitions and proving his consistency in taking Paris Saint-Germain as far as he can.

PSG drew again and Mbappe only came on in the second half. It seems Enrique is trying to get PSG used to not relying on Mbappe because he will leave soon. This is the third consecutive tie. There are still 9 games left, they should still be looking for 3 points in each game. Because Brest still has a chance to chase PSG's points.

In the last 3 matches, PSG did not manage to get full points, where a draw marked the final result in the last 3 matches. So, for now, PSG is still far ahead of the teams below their ranking because the point difference between the two is 10 points. It is true that it looks like Luis Enrique will provide a new sensation by rotating the line up in every match where he hopes his team can perform more optimally without Mbappe's presence on the field.

I'm not sure Brest will be able to catch up with PSG in points because this season PSG is not at all burdened by the pressure of other teams because they are already too far ahead in terms of points. Indeed, in yesterday match Mbappe was played as a substitute and this was of course a tactic from Luis Enrique to prepare the team for next season when Mbappe was no longer with them.

[LGD2Business]

Marseille almost let us down, but luckily they scored the 2nd goal and the match ended with over 1.5 goals. I actually knew Marseille would win, but taking a side bet seems risky for some reason. There can be many surprises, especially in the French League. Pierre Aubameyang showed his class again and scored two goals. A great striker, one of the best I've watched. I wish Marseille had not fallen so far behind this season and the goals scored by Aubameyang had been more valuable.

[Weawant]

I know this look impossible with the likes of Real Madrid in the Champion league but nothing is impossible in football.

If wishes were horses then this wish of yours could come through but then the circumstances around the situation is such that may not permit this wishes of yours to actually happen because they are almost too strong to be ignored or overcomed by mare wishing. The champions league is a very competitive tournament that requires much more than hoping and wishing to be successful in the game.

If a team will be able to win the champions league, it's obviously going to be seen in their performance from the beginning of the tournament and in greater part of their performance because they will be able to show their abilities over other teams they will be coming in contact with, and so far the performance of PSG isn't looking like bone that will most definitely get them to Winning the champions league as it take much more than just been in the champions league but your performance and your resilience which will be seen in their results .

PSG really wishes to win the champions league but they keep doing the wrong thing so it will most definitely not helping them get the kind of results they are aiming at getting because they would need do much more than that which they are doing now, they need to build on their team much more than that which they are doing now, they don't need much spending but building and they could get that which they want.

An entertaining game for everyone to watch and trigger some significant winnings for the club. There's no such thing as luck for the triump moment for Marseille, they possess the structure of winning and having winnings going smoothly on their end in matches. Marseille top striker, Pierre Aubameyang have redeemed himself to be the very best frontline currently in Olympique Marseille. They nailed Nantes 2-0 at home ground stadium. They will not be holding back because they're competitive and focusing on accomplishing more winnings next match.

[ancafe]

In the last 3 matches, PSG did not manage to get full points, where a draw marked the final result in the last 3 matches. So, for now, PSG is still far ahead of the teams below their ranking because the point difference between the two is 10 points. It is true that it looks like Luis Enrique will provide a new sensation by rotating the line up in every match where he hopes his team can perform more optimally without Mbappe's presence on the field.

Indeed, in yesterday match Mbappe was played as a substitute and this was of course a tactic from Luis Enrique to prepare the team for next season when Mbappe was no longer with them.

Without the presence of Mbappe PSG's attack line was a bit problematic, where every time there was an opportunity to score a goal, it was not completed perfectly. Luis Enrique must immediately find rhythm on the front lines because if this continues their position in the standings will be slightly threatened and he must try to create a suitable formation. 10 points is not a big number if his team will get results like in the previous three matches and it is not impossible for Brest to catch up if that continues to happen at PSG.

PSG must be able to play without Mbappe's presence because if he does leave they will be much better prepared to face the competition. The attack line must be of particular concern now because PSG must try to take advantage of the players you have. It just remains to combine if PSG doesn't buy new players in the transfer market, but I don't think they will be optimal if they don't have good front line players.

Actually, to be honest, Paris SG will complete this season as champion. Brest came close to them, but Monaco still has a chance on the list. Both follow Paris. Still, I think PSG will finish the season as the leader. Mbappe will finish the year with a championship medal.

[comboday]

Today's important match in the English Premier League is Liverpool vs Manchester City. The match can also be called the league title deciding match. They are in the 2nd position at the top of the league points table with 1 point more. So today's match is important to win the league title. Both the teams are playing their 28th scheduled match. The match is being played at Liverpool's Andfield.

There are still 9 games left, they should still be looking for 3 points in each game. Because Brest still has a chance to chase PSG's points.

What Enrique is currently doing using Mbappe in the second half, there are 2 possibilities: the same drama as that time and the second possibility is that Enrique is trying to get used to appearing without Mbappe when he leaves PSG.
Looking at the formation that Enrique is currently using, it seems that PSG management's plans will be determined because of last season's transfer. PSG said that if they get a loan player, Goncalo Ramos, they will use a trial period to see the talent they have and if Goncalo Ramos succeeds in having a positive impact, this player will will be permanent so I won't ask too many questions about why Enrique seems to be excluding Mbappe, but it was planned beforehand and if everyone here still remembers the plan, they certainly won't be surprised by this new formation.
10 points difference from Brest and there is still a chance for Brest to catch PSG which is very impossible because Monaco also threatens Brest's current position and my prediction is that PSG will remain in first position while Monaco will be in 2nd position.


Got the advantage from Marseille's match against Nantes and my prediction was very correct when I saw that Marseille's recent performance had a positive trend after bringing in Aubameyang since he first joined Marseille, this player has performed very well and can contribute in every match to get a winning score.
Meanwhile, Nantes previously only ended up losing against Metz and it was clear that Marseille would win without any reply from Nantes and that was the reason I bet on this option to get odds @1.7 which was very profitable for me.

The draw they received this week doesn't make their chances of becoming champions small, because the point gap between them is still far enough for teams in Ligue 1 to catch up. I don't even think any team will be able to catch it, unless the situation is different. , it seems for example that Brest is in first position and Paris Saint Germain is in second position. I don't mean to underestimate Brest in this matter, but the inconsistency shown by teams other than Paris Saint Germain opens up opportunities for Paris Saint Germain to catch up.
I would say Paris Saint Germain will be champions again this season, whether we like it or not we have to see that, because in fact there is no team that has the same strength that can compete closely with Paris Saint Germain. Even if there is, it only happens at the start of the season and not at the end of the season. In Ligue 1 Paris Saint Germain's task to become champions is not difficult at all, they can even do everything to win the title in a row.

[rendravolt]

To be honest, from the start I was so sure that Marseille would win again, but sometimes I had to think more rationally because the 4 matches in the bet were correct and I just had to wait for the result of the match between Marseille vs Nantes. I had to cash out early and at that time Marseille was actually 1-0 up, but the thing I was afraid of was not Marseille losing but instead a draw.

Some time ago I made a bet on another league where the team I was betting on to win had scored first and indeed it was the last match in my multibet. But something very annoying happened where my leading team conceded which meant the score ended in a draw. I mean, there is a little concern that this happened in the Marseille vs Nantes match and because of that I don't want it to happen again. But thankfully what I was worried about didn't happen and Marseille still won and even in my multibet I took a handicap of -1 for Marseille to win.

I wish Marseille had not fallen so far behind this season and the goals scored by Aubameyang had been more valuable.

Jean-Louis Gasset still able to managed Marseille consistency because yesterday Marseille has successfully to overcomes Nantes with final scores 2-0 and Aubameyang was made a brace and help Marseille to collect 3 points from this match and Aubameyang is showing that currently he is on fire and total he has scores 7 goals in the last 4 matches in all competitions and this result too has just open Marseille chances to playing at European competitions for next season because currently Marseille only have 6 points behind to Monaco the team in the top 3

Marseille actually has tight schedules because after this match they will playing against Villarreal on Europa League but they are in the comfortable position because in the first leg Marseille have already to win with big scores 4-0 from Villarreal so i assume Jean-Louis Gasset will do some rotation to Marseille squad because this match is not too important anymore for Marseille and about Marseille opponent in Ligue 1 this week they will fight at Rennes home ground and i am sure Marseille will be able to resumes their winning streak again because Rennes is not strong opponent for them even if we see from meeting statistics Marseille has good records because in the last 5 meetings Marseille can gets 3 wins and only lost once

There are still 9 games left, they should still be looking for 3 points in each game. Because Brest still has a chance to chase PSG's points.

The three draws that PSG got happened when Luiz Enrique no longer let Kylian Mbappe playfully, even though he played as the starting XI but mid-match will be replaced and against Reims, he was not in the starting XI only became a substitute in the 73rd minute' so it is very possible that what you say is true that PSG is trying to reduce its dependence on Mbappe or start preparing their squad without Mbappe which means that Mbappe's move to another club is a sure thing and only waiting for the time to be announced.

The remaining nine matches with a 10-point lead is still not an easy thing to pursue by PSG competitors such as Brest and Monaco because the two teams are closest to PSG's position, and PSG only needs six wins to ensure the title can even be reduced if Brest loses against Lille or Monaco and the match against Lyon will also be tough for Brest seeing how Lyon continues to perform well in the last few matches, so there will be no surprises as to who will be champions this season, it is certain that it will be PSG.

[QueenVera]

 See, my words yesterday came true today where PSG managed to be held to a draw by Reims even in today's match and even PSG must be willing to fall behind first with a goal at the beginning of the first half scored by Munetsi in the 7th minute.

A score of 1 point when playing home and when PSG is the favorite in my opinion it is an adverse condition but it is still quite fortunate that they did not lose points in today's match.

PSG was held to a 2-2 draw by Reims and this is a big setback especially in the club’s performance as their performance isn’t in the best stage at the moment. This performance isn’t seen as Psg’s best as you can see how they struggled in this match. When comparing both teams, you’ll see that Psg is very clear off Reims but that didn’t show in the way they performed in that match. As in that match PSG struggled to keep up with the game plan of Reims and were Lucky to earn a draw. This is their 3rd straight domestic draw and this doesn’t speak well of the team as this could have easily landed them under pressure if they were not over 10 points clear the 2nd on the log.

 I think PSG has to up their game especially as we now see how the coach is trying to play without Kylian, so as to let the team get used to they style. Kylian was rested after scoring the 2 goals for the club during midweek UCL win against Real Sociedad which saw PSG able to go through with an aggregate score of 4-1. PSG fell off due to an error from Hakimi and that was an early goal that started the dent on the team’s performance yesterday. PSG gave some goals and were also gifted some but in all what was very noticeable was the way they pressed as a team and they couldn’t just get it right to go 12 points clear. Though Brest who are their closest challenger fell to a 1-0 loss, this means all is well as regarding the title.

 It was a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 game in which Mbappe has either started on the bench or been substituted since he informed PSG of his intention to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. This means the club must begin to learn to play without Kylian and get the winnings too as that’s what will be key to their success. Mbappe had several attempts to score but could not add to his 34 goals for the season in all competitions as PSG followed up recent league draws with Rennes and Monaco by dropping points again. Reims got the 1 point which they earned and this is a disappointing Result for PSG and her fans because they real want to win the league very early and with this kind of performance then that party could be kept on hold a while more.
