French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[fullhdpixel]

It was not surprising to see Paris Saint Germain win their match against Marseille at the Stade Orange Velodrome. Because Paris Saint Germain is a team that is always more consistent in League 1 every season, I personally am not very surprised by the victory achieved by Paris Saint Germain at home to Marseille. Because it has been proven that Marseille is not as strong as Paris Saint Germain even though one of the players from Paris Saint Germain was shown a red card and had to leave the match.

PSG has a squad at a level that is very far from other teams in Ligue 1. I think even if they don't play consistently they will still be able to win matches and win the league title. Their strength is really on a different level from other teams in Ligue 1. In the match against Marseille we can see that even by losing one player in the first half they were still able to dominate Marseille and score 2 goals in the second half. This victory further solidifies their position at the top of the standings. And for Marseille this defeat has closed their chance to qualify for the European league next season.

French Ligue is having just one team which is competitive and strong for with things were never been good for the rest of league teams to stay at the solid level because usually teams are having uncertainty and lack of funds which prevent them from having quality players and give their best even in last few seasons we have good performance from the Monaco and Marseille but in this season we are having lack of quality from them as well currently Marseille is struggling for having fourth spot and Monaco is having good chance for staying at the top three.

Consistency is the biggest problem which needs good players but sadly no club after PSG able to secure services of quality players which is surely giving them serious setbacks, and we have only PSG which is leading from the front in this farming league.

Paris Saint-Germain FC 1 - 0 Stade Rennais FC

This victory brings PSG to the final of France Cup.
Yes, actually, Rennes is not that strong, however, PSG had quite a hard time beating the club with more goals. So that the only goal from Mbappe was PSG's winning goal in the semi-finals of the France Cup. Mbappe, once again, was the decisive winner at PSG.

Meanwhile, PSG will play against Lyon in the final match of this France Cup.
PSG should also be able to win, because if you look at the strength and solidity of their clubs, PSG is far above them. So that makes PSG superior in various ways. In this case, if PSG loses, this will be very embarrassing. But I don't think they will lose against Lyon, they shouldn't.

 I expected more from the game between PSG and Rennes. More goals to be exact since tournaments like this, it's either a hard fought victory or a harvest of goals and considering PSG's standards, I felt more goals will be gotten in the game because Rennes weren't even much of a threat, just having two shots on target. Sometimes I feel PSG joke over things like this simply because they know they haven't got much competition but im hoping Lyon gives them a shocker in the finals.
 Mbappe came through for them with that solitary goal but I'm imagining if he had managed to bottle that chance like he did with the penalty kick, I wondered if they would have been able to survive extra time and penalties if it got to that as I don't really them as the team to last during extra time.

PSG is very good this season but just like you said that they joke over most of their matches and if you watch most of their matches always end with little goal difference and goal margin but what is more important in a match is sealing the win as that is the product of every hard work a team puts in a match. Rennes is a very weak team that can't stand PSG at all that was why PSG gave them a lead in the first half till the final whistle of the match was blown but however, PSG needs to be scoring more goals in their matches at least two goals difference will be good because imagine them struggling to win when their opponents equalizes their goal so that is why winning with high goal difference is important. Lyon can't stand a chance over PSG in the finals of the Coupe de France so all what you're saying is mere assumptions that will not come to reality.

Kylian Mbappe continues in his awesome display for PSG regardless of missing a penalty in the game against Rennes but he was still able to score in the 40th minutes just about 3 minutes after he missed the penalty as he is counting down to his exit from the club by the end of the season and PSG is surely gonna miss him due to his high impact to the team during his stay.

The previous two matches without a win made Lens' position even more threatened and they had to fight harder to secure a place in European competition next season. However, this is not an easy matter because there are three teams who want to immediately shift them from that position and Lens this week must really win again and make a good trend before the season ends.

Luckily, Lens will not face difficult opponents this week and they will face a bottom team, namely Le Havre. This should not be a serious obstacle for Lens to be able to score 3 points and at the same time widen the point difference between the three teams below them. I hope to see Lens can do that and it would be a great achievement if they could get another ticket to the Champions League rather than other European competitions.

The competition for this is still very fierce even though Lens have lost 2 matches in a row, but their rivals OGC Nice have also not been able to perform optimally in the last few matches so that Lens is only 1 point behind Nice, making it possible for the competition to be very open for both teams.

Lens will face a bottom team in the next match and it shouldn't be difficult for them but their declining performance in the last 2 matches makes this match difficult to predict and makes anything possible happen.
Lens are quite good in terms of strength, the same as last season, only since the start of the season their problem has been their inability to maintain consistency and this has not been able to be fixed until now.

Mbappe has a chance to finish his career at PSG with a treble. I am not saying that is what he will do, most likely he will finish with a double, but they are not out of UCL yet, so a chance is there. Bayern is having one of their worst years, and City will face Madrid, so one of them will be out, if City wins then they will be tired and if Madrid wins they lack a striker.

So, all things pointing that it is the best year to do it, plus PSG got rid of Messi and Neymar, with their big salaries, and got so many great young players who may contribute even more, at least they are not constantly injured. Once again, this part is important so I am emphasizing it, I am not saying PSG will win UCL, but just saying there is a possibility.

[Kavelj22]

Another surprising thing was Rennes' defeat where they had to submit against Strasbourg last week with a score of 2-0. Even though Rennes had the opportunity to stick to Lens in the standings and they failed after not getting any points in this match. Maybe they shouldn't be careless just because Strasbourg is below them and they certainly couldn't have predicted something like this beforehand.

Regardless of the disappointments in Ligue 1 and the Europa League, Renne's side are still hoping for the chance to win a trophy before the end of the season, while they will attempt to secure a major honor for the first time since winning the French Cup in 2019.

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes is expected to be full of fun and excitement, given the desire of both teams to achieve victory and decide the match in their favor in order to qualify for the final of the tournament and win the title.

Two teams that play the transition game the best are facing each other. Predicting the winner of the match seems quite difficult in this regard. However, I can say that PSG, whose squad quality I don't need to discuss, is the more prominent team in this match.

Rennes will play with extra concentration to surprise in this match. PSG continues to play in all competitions and will want to win the French Cup. The winner of this round, which will be played over one match, will meet Lyon in the final. I predict that both teams will play a high tempo match and score goals in ninety minutes.

During their last match against Marseille, PSG managed to score two goals after one of the key players was eliminated with a red card. This was an indication of PSG's prowess and strength as the strongest team in the French league (and European league as well).
In its semi-final match with Rennes, it is natural to expect that PSG will win with a wide score if we consider that Rennes is not as efficient as Marseille, which lost by two goals, even though PSG completed the match with an incomplete squad. But it was a surprise, as PSG was able to win and qualify, but by one goal and no more. Although PSG's possession of the ball exceeded 70 percent, it was unable to reach Rennes' goal easily.

It is possible that Mbappe will get two, not three, titles. Ligue 1 and Cupe De France. The UCL is not a trophy that Mbappe will get, if he wants to win the UCL, he has to move from PSG.
Before facing one of the four teams in the semifinals, PSG must overcome the challenge against Barcelona. Barcelona is indeed unstable, but in the Champions League facing PSG it is not certain that they will submit to PSG.

I hope to see Lens can do that and it would be a great achievement if they could get another ticket to the Champions League rather than other European competitions.

Lens have a great chance to be able to maintain their current position of 6th position in the Ligue 1 standings, because as you said if most likely Lens will be able to win over Le Havre later, because apart from Lens in good enough form in the league , of course Le Havre has not been able to find its best game to date in the league,  le Havre is struggling to stay away from the relegation zone, because currently they are only 1 point away from Lorient who are in the relegation zone, while Lens of course their chances of staying away from Marseille are also wide open because in other matches Marseille will face a difficult match against Lille.

The match in my opinion will still be fierce regardless of the position of the two teams who are currently opposite in the standings, at this time Lens is of course favored to win but they also should not underestimate Le Havre in the match, because currently Le Havre who are fighting away from the relegation zone will of course motivate them to also win against Lens and when both teams continue to chase 3 points it will make The match will be a very fierce match in my opinion.

I hope to see Lens can do that and it would be a great achievement if they could get another ticket to the Champions League rather than other European competitions.

The last two matches has not been good for Lens because they lose the both matches against Lille and also Nice which has made them to drop point but hopefully there next match against Le Havre will be a good advantage for them to improve on there points so I believe there three points is certain for them. Furthermore there upcoming matches may likely boost them up on the table because almost all there remaining matches will be against those clubs that are very close to the bottom of the table, so there is every chance for Lens to improve on the table very soon.

In fact, Lens played quite well in those two matches, but unfortunately their readiness cannot be measured with certainty when they were unable to dominate the match. Losing and winning are normal things in football but this should not be continued and will have a bad impact on the team's performance. Maybe Lens should devise a new strategy when facing an equally strong opponent so that he doesn't always lose.

If we look at Lens' remaining match schedule this season, there are not so many strong teams available, only maybe Marseille and Rennes will be tough opponents for them. Moreover, these two teams are eyeing Lens' place at the moment, so the rest of them must be able to anticipate bad things in the match and not lose so easily to this team. Apart from that, they must maximize their full focus on gaining points from weak teams.

I think Mbappe still has good chances of winning treble this season before leaving PSG next season, from their point in the league they are sure of winning the league trophy and having qualified to the cup finals they have chances of winning the cup match as they have better quality players against their opponent. PSG still has another chance in the Champions League which will be their biggest achievement if they have the opportunity of winning it and having some players who have experienced Champions League matches they are likely going to win the finals if they scale through the quarter finals and semi finals. Mbappe being the player every one will be looking up to since he's playing his last season with PSG, he will perform his best to see his team get all the trophies especially the UCL.

They will play as hosts and they will face teams at the bottom of the table too, so they should be able to win this match. They really need a win because they also need to get 3 points to improve their position, especially with a difference of 1 point from Nice who are above them, which makes it a big opportunity for Lens to improve their position in the standings.

The 2 defeats they received in the previous 2 matches, forced them to shift and are now in 6th position. They must be able to make up for their 2 defeats by winning this match. Moreover, the opportunity came and was quite big, with the opponents they would face no better than them. If they have to fail in this game, then I don't think they can get it.

Coaches must prepare everything so that it can run well, because after all their opportunity to be in the European competition zone is still quite wide open, provided that they cannot lose too many points.

PSG will face Lyon in the French Cup final after victory over Rennes in semifinal round and great chance for Kylian Mbappe for getting treble in this season before leaving PSG after his contract expiring. For French Cup is one step closer to get trophy and seems not difficult for defeating Lyon as opponent team in the final, in domestic league PSG has 12 points remaining from Brest with 7 matches left, just need three winning matches later for securing Ligue 1 tittle.
Just facing problem in Champion League quarter final match, how possibility for PSG can defeat Barcelona and qualifying to semifinal until final round, actually I doubt with PSG will get winning Champion League tittle behind has Manchester City or Real Madrid are favorite team become the winner.

Based on the odds available at the moment, at least Lens is the favorite to win in this match because of course, the difference in their position in the standings is also a factor that Lens has a better chance of winning. Also, at least Lens is still competing with Nice to be able to finish in fifth position and of course, finishing in fifth position is better because it will get a Europa League ticket. Therefore, because Lens will also play at home, of course Lens will maximize this home match to beat Le Havre. Because after all, in the first meeting this season also Le Havre managed to hold Lens to a draw but yes, because considering about the situation that happened at this moment, then I'm sure Lens will really be able to beat Le Have.

PSG played pretty confidently in this match and the player that is going to leave the club at the end of the season, the best player of PSG, mbappe, has scored the only goal of the match. I am starting to think about what will happen to PSG after he leaves.

Anyway, this was the semi-final of the French Cup. And by winning this match PSG is going to play in the final of the French Cup. They will play the match against Lyon. Remember Lyon has not performed very well in this season. Even though they are improving right now, they are still at the middle of the table. So I think it is not going to be a problem for PSG to win the final as well

Before facing one of the four teams in the semifinals, PSG must overcome the challenge against Barcelona. Barcelona is indeed unstable, but in the Champions League facing PSG it is not certain that they will submit to PSG.

Maybe that's the reason Mbappe doesn't want to stay at PSG because it will be quite difficult for PSG to win the UCL title or even compete fiercely there because they are not in a competitive local competition.
For this season, I am very pessimistic that PSG can win the UCL because in terms of quality we can see that they are no better than other top European teams and also in previous seasons the PSG team, which brought in many star players, was not able to win the UCL title, especially this season.

Maybe it would be more appropriate if Mbappe would not have any achievements or history to be proud of when he is old.
Mbappe is known as a great player with talent whose ability to run very fast is one of the advantages that can be proud of, but it feels very lacking if his skills and quality of performance are just wasted without having good achievements in the Champions League.
This reason must have been on Mbappe's mind since last season when he wanted to leave PSG but was still under contract and this season Mbappe decided to really leave PSG to find the right club to win bigger titles, not just in the domestic league.

[Weawant]

I think Mbappe still has good chances of winning treble this season before leaving PSG next season, from their point in the league they are sure of winning the league trophy and having qualified to the cup finals they have chances of winning the cup match as they have better quality players against their opponent. PSG still has another chance in the Champions League which will be their biggest achievement if they have the opportunity of winning it and having some players who have experienced Champions League matches they are likely going to win the finals if they scale through the quarter finals and semi finals. Mbappe being the player every one will be looking up to since he's playing his last season with PSG, he will perform his best to see his team get all the trophies especially the UCL.

Actually from.my point of view, i think the Ligue 1 is very possible and workable for them but beyond that i cannot for sure guarantee and even think of been able to just win any other trophies by these team just like that but I'm hopeful that will be able to add to the Ligue 1 other trophies but then they may at same time too not be able to achieve such because they have not gotten the form that will really give them such.

For mabappe he will be leaving PSG by next season and it wouldn't really be a bad idea if he's able to help his team achieve the goal of getting the champions league but then again i doubt if the ly will be able to achieve that, although they are really looking like they will be able to get to the semifinals but I'm not sure of them getting to the top of the table just so soon already because they don't have the form and strength to get that as this has always been my point of view because the competition in the champions league is very much different from that which they see in the Ligue one and can't be compared.

If PSG is playing the champions league with the same pattern they use to play the Ligue 1 i most definitely doubt their ability to be able to win the champions league and the dream or the possibility of mbappe getting a trio this season is most definitely not going to really be achieved because they don't have all it takes but at Madrid where he will be moving to he may be able to achieve such.

This victory further solidifies their position at the top of the standings. And for Marseille this defeat has closed their chance to qualify for the European league next season.

The game between PSG and Marseille was not a similar match and it seems the relationship between Enrique and Mbappe is getting even worse than before.
Regardless of the result they got and PSG won the game with a 2-0 result as we could have expected them to win, even after the red card they got, Enrique is very unhappy because of Mbappe left PSG for Real Madrid because he wanted to have his player for the longer time. Also in the game against Marseille, he had a substitution and Mbappe left the field, but it seems some people believe Mbappe was insulting his coach while was leaving the field.

This situation is what hinder PSG to gain success in Champions League. Their routine games in Ligue 1 is quite low standard compared to the routine games of their competitor from other top leagues. They don't have high pressure games coupled with no high pressure competition in title race. This makes their mentality could be not ready to be under-pressure in a high stake of game in Champions League.

This correlates with the quality of Ligue with the teams competing in. Their dominance in Ligue 1 might not fully prepare them for the intensity of high-stakes Champions League matches. Competing in Champions League requires different mindset. Success in the Champions League is determined by the maintenance of mental resilience that only can be built by facing a routine fierce competition. Tactics and strategies can be maximalized by strong mentality to face any circumstance.

[TelolettOm]

Yes, actually, Rennes is not that strong, however, PSG had quite a hard time beating the club with more goals. So that the only goal from Mbappe was PSG's winning goal in the semi-finals of the France Cup. Mbappe, once again, was the decisive winner at PSG.

Yes, Mbappe scored the decisive goal, but before that he failed to score a penalty, so we can say that he was simply making up for a missed opportunity. PSG's game was not so easy because the responsibility for the result in this match was high, but Enrique achieved victory and now PSG is in the final.

Yes, at least, this could cure his annoyance over this failure. It almost made disappointment hit quite high. but in the end, Mbappe was able to get the goal that decided the match. because it was almost, it didn't have time to do it. PSG must think hard about who is the best replacement for Mbappe when he leaves. Because his contribution is still very influential

By the way, the opponent in the final will not be as easy as Rennes, despite the fact that Lyon is in the middle of the Ligue 1 table, you need to understand that they were able to rise from the very bottom, and in the last matches they look very good.

For this reason, PSG must remain focused and must not underestimate their opponents at all. Because after all, Lyon has a pretty good quality of play. It's not uncommon for these clubs to produce surprising results. But, yes, PSG is still superior in various ways. Because of that, I remain completely confident that PSG will win the final.

Maybe that's the reason Mbappe doesn't want to stay at PSG because it will be quite difficult for PSG to win the UCL title or even compete fiercely there because they are not in a competitive local competition.
For this season, I am very pessimistic that PSG can win the UCL because in terms of quality we can see that they are no better than other top European teams and also in previous seasons the PSG team, which brought in many star players, was not able to win the UCL title, especially this season.

Yes, that is one of the reasons Kylian Mbappe did not extend his contract with PSG because getting the Champions League title is something that is very difficult for PSG to achieve, therefore it is better for Mbappe to leave PSG and go to a club that is better than PSG because Mbappe has very good performance. It's good that his future is still long, so it's better not to waste his talent just to stay at PSG which is only able to win the domestic league title even though Mbappe himself wants a bigger title like other elite clubs. PSG is indeed an elite club but the trophy isn't complete if he doesn't get it titles in major competitions for elite club designation.

It is very natural that many people doubt PSG's performance in the Champions League, in fact, even though PSG has star players, PSG is still unable to win the Champions League trophy, therefore these star players leave PSG and choose elite clubs that are able to give them bigger titles. For now, PSG's performance is still unclear in the Champions League, but they are quite good in the round of 16, but entering the quarter-finals. PSG's challenge is really just starting because PSG will face an elite La Liga club which has been in good form recently.
