French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ancafe]

Monaco trying to secure their chance for the Champions League with things are going most chances they will be stayed at the second or third spot which is surely good for them even still things can go either way because we have mostly of top teams struggling near the end of the season, but their performance is relatively better their win against Strasbourg was hard fought, but they are able to have three points which is good job, and now they are going to face another relegation zone team which is surely not easy team because their performance is also on better improvement.

Monaco is trying to maintain their position in the standings to qualify for the Champions League and currently their position is not very comfortable because they are only three points behind Lille. Even though Monaco's performance continues to improve, if Monaco is not consistent then the opportunity for them to be chased by Lille is quite open because Lille's performance is almost the same as Monaco, where their last five matches have had the same results.

Lille will face Brest after facing a match in the European league and they must try to play for victory or at least the match must end in a draw. Because if they lose, Monaco will be in a more advantageous condition because the points difference will be much greater.

It will be more interesting if Lille beats Brest because if that happens, then ofcourse Brest, Monaco and Lille will have a gap of 1 point. But yes, if for example Lille beat Brest and Monaco beat Lorient, then Monaco becomes the second-placed team with a better points advantage . But,if the match between Brest v Lille ends in a draw, then it will leave Lille with a slightly widergap and that will leave Lille behind in the competition . With such a scenario, then I am more expecting Lille to win against Brest in the next Ligue 1 match, although it at least helps Monaco to overtake Brest but at least Lille still has a chance to overtake Brest and be in the top three with PSG, Monaco and Lille.

Le Havre had been struggling to win for 6 weeks. Yesterday, Le Havre managed to end their 6-week winless streak with a one-goal victory against Toulouse. Le Havre certainly deserved the win as they played a better game compared to their opponents.
In the meeting of 2 teams in the relegation zone, the winner was Metz. Metz are in a race with their rivals and they want to make the most of their chance to stay in the relegation zone. With this win they managed to take 2 steps ahead of their opponent.

During the last games, Le Havre had a bad performance and recently they won the game against Toulouse after weeks of bad results in this team. But I don't think if this can be a good reason to say Le Havre can win other games they are going to have against teams like Clermont Foot even if we all know Clermont Foot is a team on the downside of the French Leaguean they are the last team with the worst result they could ever get.
Clermont Foot got only 17 points so far in all 25 games we saw from this team during this season and in the last five games they had, they lost three games and they had two draws. That's why Maybe that's a wise move to bet on Le Havre for this match.

Strasbourg declined a lot and they are 3 points away from the relegation zone and one point from the relegation play-offs. Such position is unsustainable and they have to start winning again especially against Nantes this week. All their remaining games up to April are against top teams except maybe Toulouse which is a medium one, yet above them.
Monaco and Brest are competing for the second spot while PSG trying to confirm the title before a couple of rounds. There Marseille that are pushing their way up and Nice that lost control totally on their results!

Strasbourg which was doing impressive in early rounds suddenly have serious problems and now struggling for keeping their spot into safe zone in last 7 games they have no win with 5 defeats and 2 draw making their life worst because if they keep going like this for few more weeks we will have them into relegation zone and things will be terribly down for them next game against Nantes at the Stade de la Beaujoire Nantes which is also in relegation zone try his best for the coming out of this jail can bring Strasbourg to their place.

We have serious downfall in quality of the Ligue 1 teams which is surely needed to be fixed before it's too late because mostly teams are fail to attracted big names due to lack of funds and now things are going awful.

Consistency is needed to enable them to maintain their current position, because the distance between them and the teams below them is still quite close and that poses a real threat to Monaco. LOSC and Lens are below them with only a 3 point difference. If Monaco falls even once then it is very possible that they will be moved from their current position in the standings.
Actually, at the moment they are not completely consistent, it's just that it can be covered by other teams who are also experiencing the same thing, if there were a team that was more consistent I think they probably wouldn't be in this position now. Every match before the end of the season will be very determining for their position.

Unexpected drop of points from PSG against Reims. I thought they were going to win and would not have any problems doing that.
We all could see that Mbappe is not happy and also definitely going to leave after the season ends.

Actually, I think the coach still wants to play him, but he has some pressure from the upper authority to not play Mbappe.
and that is because he is leaving as the season ends.



Whole 70 minutes he was sitting on the bench.
They brought on Mbappe for Ramos in the final third but it was too late as PSG conceded two goals.
If they actually played him from the start I believe they could have easily walked away with 3 points from this match.

PSG will play Nice in the next match of the French Cup. I expect PSG to win that match. But today the defense was really bad from PSG. and I hope they will be able to improve that

[Sunderland]

During the last games, Le Havre had a bad performance and recently they won the game against Toulouse after weeks of bad results in this team. But I don't think if this can be a good reason to say Le Havre can win other games they are going to have against teams like Clermont Foot even if we all know Clermont Foot is a team on the downside of the French Leaguean they are the last team with the worst result they could ever get.

I prefer to bet on other match beside this one, the last time Le Havre won in away match/league was happening back in Nov 2023 and Clermont also never win again at home since Nov 2023.
If you want to bet on Le Harve, perhaps it will be wise using asian handicap. In that way, you will not lose anything if the match ends with a draw.

I think Clermont can make a surprise in this match. Le Havre is in a better situation, but Clermont will now want to stop the bad trend and maybe they will try hard to win if they have a home crowd advantage. As a surprise, this possibility may be for betting. Apart from that, playing with a handicap also sounds reasonable.

PSG will play Nice in the next match of the French Cup. I expect PSG to win that match. But today the defense was really bad from PSG. and I hope they will be able to improve that

Failing to get 3 points in the match against Reims does not change PSG current position because in other matches Brest which is the closest team to PSG also failed to win points, I think there is nothing wrong with backing up Mbappe at this time because it is a team need, at this time we all know if Mbappe no longer has the loyalty to play 100% with PSG because of all the speculation that is happening at the moment,  In addition, if you look at PSG's last two games, then you can see that the role and even the impact that Mbappe has had on the team is so small that I think even if Mbappe plays from the start it will not have a big effect on PSG.

But it is very important for Enrique to continue to experiment to find the main line of PSG players when Mbappe is no longer with PSG, when PSG has now left its rivals far enough, wouldn't it be better for Enrique to try new schemes in his game?
So when the 2024/25 season starts, it will certainly facilitate Enrique work in determining the starting line-up for next season matches.

During the last games, Le Havre had a bad performance and recently they won the game against Toulouse after weeks of bad results in this team. But I don't think if this can be a good reason to say Le Havre can win other games they are going to have against teams like Clermont Foot even if we all know Clermont Foot is a team on the downside of the French Leaguean they are the last team with the worst result they could ever get.

Before  Le Havre won the match they were very close to the relegation zone, so wining the match was able to push them more higher away from the relegation zone, so they were actually lucky to have won the match because Toulouse has been doing well more than them and even on the league table but it just happen that Toulouse was unable to beat them on that match, perhaps I don't know if they were underestimating  Le Havre because of there position on the league table, however  Le Havre points now is very close to Toulouse, although  Le Havre need to enhance there performance the more because if they failed they may likely drop down to there previous position on the table, so they need to improve on there wining because they still have a very close points with Montpelier, Strasbourg, Lorient and Nantes, so wining is there only way to secure a good position for themselves.

[QueenVera]

PSG's position at the top of the standings can no longer be disturbed by other teams in Ligue 1 because by collecting 56 points it can be ascertained that the league trophy and also one Champions League ticket are theirs, the competition at PSG has actually long ended in the fight for rank 1 and as usual PSG remains firmly at the top of the standings, currently an interesting competition only occurs between ranks 2 and 6 in the standings in grabbing the remaining two automatic tickets to qualify for the Champions League and also One playoff ticket.

So far there are still 5 teams competing namely brest (2), monaco (3), lille (4), lens (5), and Nice who are ranked 6, at this time maybe many of us think Nice have been out of competition due to their poor performance in recent weeks, but in fact they are currently still very strong 6th place with 40 points and only 6 points behind brest, I think by being 1 or 2 points apart from one team to another, it is certain that the competition for Champions League tickets is certainly very interesting than seeing PSG run alone towards the championship trophy this season in Ligue 1.

The season started and some teams showed greAt strengths on how they can perform especially giving PSG some challenges and we thought we’ll be seeing a big threat to PSG dominance. Well poor formation of the club has resulted in this team dropping down to around 5th. PSG still remains very dominant of the league and is leading the league with over 10 points with about 12 matches to go to end the league. This is one reason why this league is considered a farmers league because the competition to throw off psg as league champions isn’t there.

 This season we are throwing our light there as we’re having one interesting competition of who will be going to the UCL next season happening there. We can see how the teAms between 2nd to 5th are having similar points. This is the kind of competition we wish would be happening between league leaders PSG And other clubs to end it’s dominance but it’s quite impressive as it’s a step in the right direction. One thing the clubs must do is after this kind of challenge, they should brace themselves up for next season as they can be able to deal with PSG and challenge for the title.

 For the battle for the UCL spot it’s quite a fierce one and I have my predictions on who will join. I also have to say that the teams after getting the ticket, they should endeavor on building a great squad that will be able to challenge in that competition. The teams that are good to go through are Brest and either Monaco or Lille. Either Monaco or Lille or both of them will be great participants of the UCL next season and they have the experience too and I hope them being in the Ucl Will be a boost for them to build a great squad next season. As building a great squad will also help them to challenge Psg for the league title next season.

[Silence Scream]

Monaco trying to secure their chance for the Champions League with things are going most chances they will be stayed at the second or third spot which is surely good for them even still things can go either way because we have mostly of top teams struggling near the end of the season, but their performance is relatively better their win against Strasbourg was hard fought, but they are able to have three points which is good job, and now they are going to face another relegation zone team which is surely not easy team because their performance is also on better improvement.

Monaco is trying to maintain their position in the standings to qualify for the Champions League and currently their position is not very comfortable because they are only three points behind Lille. Even though Monaco's performance continues to improve, if Monaco is not consistent then the opportunity for them to be chased by Lille is quite open because Lille's performance is almost the same as Monaco, where their last five matches have had the same results.

Lille will face Brest after facing a match in the European league and they must try to play for victory or at least the match must end in a draw. Because if they lose, Monaco will be in a more advantageous condition because the points difference will be much greater.

Consistency is needed to enable them to maintain their current position, because the distance between them and the teams below them is still quite close and that poses a real threat to Monaco. LOSC and Lens are below them with only a 3 point difference. If Monaco falls even once then it is very possible that they will be moved from their current position in the standings.
Actually, at the moment they are not completely consistent, it's just that it can be covered by other teams who are also experiencing the same thing, if there were a team that was more consistent I think they probably wouldn't be in this position now. Every match before the end of the season will be very determining for their position.

Considering that the first 3 teams will be given UCL rights, it is obvious that there will be a race for second and third place among the teams other than PSG. Brest, Monaco, Lille, Lens, Nice and Marseille are the teams in this race with a few points difference. I think filling the 2-team quota will be for the two strongest and most consistent teams from here. Stability will be very important in the remaining matches. Currently, Brest and Monaco have an advantage, but this situation may change at any time.

[Furious 7]

 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.

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.

Yeah thats true, even though the match ended in a draw it was still a setback because it was detrimental that they played home with strong determination but couldn't take full points against a club whose quality was far behind them .

Even if this still wont shake their dominance in Ligue 1 and the trophy race but still things like this should be more minimized because in any case a draw or loss for PSG in Ligue 1 is a bit outrageous even though we are aware that in a season and in every match defeat and victory is a natural thing but still for me it is quite disturbing .

Their performance is  not much different in every match because after all they still have a very strong dominance for a club in the game on the field, its just that sometimes there are some small problems such as in finishing and defense that is sometimes weak which is difficult for them to change until now.

During the last games, Le Havre had a bad performance and recently they won the game against Toulouse after weeks of bad results in this team. But I don't think if this can be a good reason to say Le Havre can win other games they are going to have against teams like Clermont Foot even if we all know Clermont Foot is a team on the downside of the French Leaguean they are the last team with the worst result they could ever get.
Clermont Foot got only 17 points so far in all 25 games we saw from this team during this season and in the last five games they had, they lost three games and they had two draws. That's why Maybe that's a wise move to bet on Le Havre for this match.

I prefer to bet on other match beside this one, the last time Le Havre won in away match/league was happening back in Nov 2023 and Clermont also never win again at home since Nov 2023.
If you want to bet on Le Harve, perhaps it will be wise using asian handicap. In that way, you will not lose anything if the match ends with a draw.

After all, previously Le Havre was also in the relegation zone with 24 points, however, the victory that Le Havre got against Toulouse meant that Le Havre managed to get three points and moved its position up and out of the relegation zone. Therefore, I think Le Havre also does not have better quality than Clermont for the nextmatch. So yes, basically Le Havre is just a promoted team and that still won't make it easy for Le Havre to beat Clermont later. Because afterall, Le Havre will also play away against Clermont later and yes, at least this factor will also make it difficult for Le Havre to beat Clermont. Because, even though Clermont is only at the bottom of the standings, sometimes Clermont also manages to end the match with a draw.

[AakZaki]

~snip~

I am very disappointed with PSG's draw, they are really not worth placing bets on, even though PSG are very favorites, they don't seem to have much motivation to win the match.

Enrique bet on not using Mbappe from the start. It seems he wants to get used to being without Mbappe present. But we can see he failed, even putting Mbappe in the second half did not make them get 3 points. Maybe they are indeed a lot of points difference, but if this incident continues, it is bad. I think Enrique should still make the most of Mbappe. Without seeing him was about to leave. Right now all he has to do is win every game. For next season, he should think behind. 3 draws and this trend should be stopped immediately with a win.

[rahmad2nd]

Monaco is trying to maintain their position in the standings to qualify for the Champions League and currently their position is not very comfortable because they are only three points behind Lille. Even though Monaco's performance continues to improve, if Monaco is not consistent then the opportunity for them to be chased by Lille is quite open because Lille's performance is almost the same as Monaco, where their last five matches have had the same results.

Lille will face Brest after facing a match in the European league and they must try to play for victory or at least the match must end in a draw. Because if they lose, Monaco will be in a more advantageous condition because the points difference will be much greater.

In the 26th match week, As Monaco will host a match against Lorient. If we refer to the standings, the two teams have quite a significant gap. Moreover, Lorient had just lost the previous week when they played against Lyon. Meanwhile, Manaco managed to beat the away match against Strasbourg even though it was a narrow score. Now, Monaco is one point different from Berst. if Manaco is able to win the match at home, and Brest ends up drawing against Lille or losing. That means, Manaco will shift the ranking occupied by Brest which is in 2nd place.

Well, this fight will continue. if Manano produces a minor match or loses against Lorient, then Lillie will have the same points as AS Monaco. but if it's the other way around, that means Monaco's chance is big enough to shift the runner-up position in Ligue 1. Well, I'm still confident that Monaco will overtake Brest's position and stay in second place in the Ligue 1 standings. So, to be sure, we'll wait for the match  this was held.

[Weawant]

Considering that the first 3 teams will be given UCL rights, it is obvious that there will be a race for second and third place among the teams other than PSG. Brest, Monaco, Lille, Lens, Nice and Marseille are the teams in this race with a few points difference. I think filling the 2-team quota will be for the two strongest and most consistent teams from here. Stability will be very important in the remaining matches. Currently, Brest and Monaco have an advantage, but this situation may change at any time.

OsG isn't in the race for a second or third position, they are currently at the top and aren't looking like they are exiting the top spot anytime soon because they have got a good and firm stand their with a good point difference away from their next team who's behind them, they are currently like the best team across France and that has made them enjoy the top position for quite a good period of time,

Breath has got a very good chance at the second position of the table, this is actually if they keep up with their performance a d making sure to back it with some winnings streeks, breast is ten points away from PSG and also a point away from Monaco which means PSG is safe at the top but breast isn't at their second position so they literally need to work hard enough to get to strengthen their position by further broadening the gap between them and their immediate rival, I'm very hopeful Brest gets to finish second against Monaco who's just a point away from them at the third which means Monaco can actually displace breast if breast slacks.

Lillie is right behind Monaco too at the fourth position with hopes of possibly getting to the third position but then they all have equals chances at finishing top four and be able to still qualify for the champions league next season which will definitely be an achievement for them because participating in such elite league has been the dream of some of the other teams in the Ligue 1 aswell so for those who got it, it's an achievement.

Le Havre had been struggling to win for 6 weeks. Yesterday, Le Havre managed to end their 6-week winless streak with a one-goal victory against Toulouse. Le Havre certainly deserved the win as they played a better game compared to their opponents.
In the meeting of 2 teams in the relegation zone, the winner was Metz. Metz are in a race with their rivals and they want to make the most of their chance to stay in the relegation zone. With this win they managed to take 2 steps ahead of their opponent.

During the last games, Le Havre had a bad performance and recently they won the game against Toulouse after weeks of bad results in this team. But I don't think if this can be a good reason to say Le Havre can win other games they are going to have against teams like Clermont Foot even if we all know Clermont Foot is a team on the downside of the French Leaguean they are the last team with the worst result they could ever get.
Clermont Foot got only 17 points so far in all 25 games we saw from this team during this season and in the last five games they had, they lost three games and they had two draws. That's why Maybe that's a wise move to bet on Le Havre for this match.

To be honest, there is a significant gap between Clermont and Havre and this is too big for clermont to achieve it. I'd like to place a full bet on Havre in this case because it has a high chance of winning the game since havre is in higher standing compared to the clermont. Speaking of odds, Havre's odds are very good for betting causes by it's offering biger odds and it's also even stronger compared to the clermont. The fact that if clermont rare won this season, it is obvious that betting on havre makes more sense than clermont, even if the game is away for havre and this is also the point. Clermont is not only bad, but it is also the worst club. It is only getting worse, and this club has been confirmed to be relegated. It was impossible to catch up to its opponent, who was already out of the relegation zone. Clermont was only having 17 points, which is still less than 20 points for the season. It's difficult for Clermont to get three points from this game. It is obvious that if we use our common sense, Clermont is clearly a bad choice for bettors.

I am very disappointed with PSG's draw, they are really not worth placing bets on, even though PSG are very favorites, they don't seem to have much motivation to win the match.

I think Enrique should still make the most of Mbappe. Without seeing him was about to leave. Right now all he has to do is win every game. For next season, he should think behind. 3 draws and this trend should be stopped immediately with a win.

That would be the last reason coming to my mind when Enrique decides to let Mbappe sit on the bench. I have never heard before that a coach forgoes the possibility to use the best player in the world because he wants to prepare the team for times when that player will not be around anymore, lol! It sounds like a bad joke. He is not using Mbappe that much because he wants to avoid at all cost that Mbappe gets injured and misses a single minute of the upcoming Champions League games. Mbappe is pissed about it I guess, but Enrique doesn't show any mercy because he wants him in the best physical condition possible and I can understand it.

[klidex]

Consistency is needed to enable them to maintain their current position, because the distance between them and the teams below them is still quite close and that poses a real threat to Monaco. LOSC and Lens are below them with only a 3 point difference. If Monaco falls even once then it is very possible that they will be moved from their current position in the standings.
Actually, at the moment they are not completely consistent, it's just that it can be covered by other teams who are also experiencing the same thing, if there were a team that was more consistent I think they probably wouldn't be in this position now. Every match before the end of the season will be very determining for their position.

Of course, it is quite a tough task for Monaco to maintain its consistency in order to remain in 3rd place because in the remaining 9 matches this season, Monaco still faces tough clubs, namely rivals above Brest and Lille. Apart from that, maybe Monaco still has a chance to win the match even though Monaco's performance is not yet stable enough. Lille and Lens have the same points, they also want to fight for that position, therefore every match played by Monaco in the remaining matches this season is a bit tough and their position is still a little under pressure and it is not completely safe to be in the champions league zone except for two clubs like Lille and Lens they experience defeat, then Monaco can sit comfortably in that ranking.

If you look at it in terms of consistency, the three clubs are not completely consistent, sometimes they still experience defeat. I also don't know for sure which of the three clubs will occupy third place because they still have the same opportunity. Only the club that is able to maintain its consistency can occupy the zone. However, Brest in second place is also not completely safe because if Brest loses, Monaco can take second place because the difference in points with second place is only 1 point, therefore Monaco and Brest are also not completely safe in the Champions League zone.
