French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Rennes ended their 3-week winless streak in the league yesterday. Rennes managed to get 3 points with 3 goals away from Nantes and increased their points to 42. Although Lens' win does not change the point difference between them, it seems that we will follow the struggle between them until the last week.
Lens, on the other hand, hosted Clermont, a potential relegation team, at home. Lens, who won the match with a single goal at home, maintained their position in the league. If Clermont had won this game, they would have scored an important 3 points for them. It looks like the last 4 weeks of the league will be exciting.

It is fitting that Rennes can end their losing record in the last 3 matches, facing Nantes is a big opportunity for them to win again, and they managed to do it well even though they are the visiting team in this match. They really had difficulty scoring goals in the first half, but in the second half they were able to take advantage of the opportunities they got into goals and in the end they succeeded in winning with a score of 0-3 in this match.
They are superior in quality to Nantes and it would be a shame if they didn't take advantage of their advantage to be able to win in a match like this. However, Nantes also put up good resistance in the first half, but entering the second half, the defense they implemented was dismantled by Rennes' attack line. This result makes competition at the bottom of the table still quite difficult, because this result makes Nantes also threatened with the relegation zone, who have 3 points from them.

Paris Saint Germain vs Lyon is one of the best matches of the day. It would have been better if it was not at the same time as Real Madrid vs Barcelona. Paris Saint Germain reached the semifinals of the Champions League after beating Barcelona 4-1 during the week. They are also the leaders in the French Ligue 1. They are 8 points above second-placed Monaco. On the other side Lyon, who performed very badly in the first half of the season but have had some great wins in the second half of the season. They are one of the best teams of the second half of the season. They have won 8 of their last 10 games.

If Paris Saint Germain lose points in this match, it won't be a problem for Paris Saint Germain. They might come back tired from the Champions League. I find it a bit risky to bet on Paris Saint Germain in this match. I will bet on both teams to score.

It's not upto 15 minutes in to the first half of the games and PSG is already two goals ahead which i think it's a very good sign that they are very likely to win this game with little to almost no stress because Lyon isn't looking like a tough or a difficult team to them and they are aswell looking like a team which wouldn't give PSG much stress in the game tonight, pSG is actually superior to the m and it's obvious in their performance.

I can say with much confidence that the dominance of PSG in this game is definitely going to give them at least a victory in the first half, Lyon seem to have a weak defensive mechanism this evening as this defense seem to appear too porous at the moment and PSG is talk fl advantage of it and are already leading but then just like football do happens it could change in the second half but then PSG is appearing to be on a very different levels of confidence so the worse that could happen would be a draw which I'm not even believing will happen.

Lyon if they try well enough may actually be able to get a goal by the second half but i doubt if they are going to win this game because PSG will most definitely not give them the chance to and then PSG Is actually exercising so much dominance already that Lyon isn't even appearing like they are capable of doing otherwise except if they get a better strategy in the second half and be able to secure a goal or two while strengthen their defense.

[adultcrypto]

PSG is using poor Lyon for practice tonight. Four goals to one in first half, such an embarrassing defeat for a big name like Lyon. Mbappe is yet to scored and by the time he join the goal scorers, Lyon might be soak in goals.

I am one of those people who say that PSG will easily destroy Dortmund to be fair, which means that PSG will have literally just a single game left after that. Don't get me wrong, this is football and anything could happen and Dortmund could still beat PSG in a two game series, knock off stages are always a bit different and even a worse team could beat PSG in a shocking result, things are not always that obvious.

I will not be so sure about PSG destroying Borussia Dortmund, remember it is the semi final and no team reaches that level by mistake and without nursing the plan of lifting the trophy. It will be unfair to rule out any team at this time of the tournament. PSG might seem to be the preferred team of many people but Borussia Dortmund is not a small team that you can beat without sweat. Do not be surprised if that match enters penalty.

It makes sense, especially if Brest wins this match it will make the difference to 4 points from Monaco. Certainly finishing in 2nd place will be Brest's priority this season and this can continue if they remain consistent in the next season. I don't think Monaco will give up that easily even though several of their players are absent and on the other hand, if they can hold on to a draw it will make the competition in the standings even more exciting.

The actual betting odds are not much different and in my opinion it would be quite risky to hope for victory on one of the teams. But from me, I would probably take a double chance for Brest considering that a draw is still quite open even if they fail to win.

I previously said in the previous post that I predicted Monaco would beat Brest even though they were playing away from home. and yeah, Adolf Hutter's team finished their match against Brest with a 0-2 win. In this match, Brest dominated ball possession, but there was not a single opportunity that threatened Monaco goalkeeper Majecki's goal. In fact, Brest had no chance at all to create big opportunities. of the 12 total shots, only 2 were on target.

As for Monaco, they played quite well, especially their defense players, although at the end of the match two Monaco players were given red cards. but at least, currently Monaco has succeeded in shifting Brest's position which is in 2nd place in Ligue 1. Apart from that, Monaco has the advantage of one postponed match. I have strong confidence that Manaco will maintain the level they currently occupy, the only tough opponent for Monaco is Lille. Even then, Monaco played as the home team. So, the current standings position has changed and Brest must be willing to be occupied by Adolf Hutter's squad.

Monaco really put a strong performance in the game. Beating Brest away from home is a great result considering Breast is a very good team this season sitting above Monaco on the table. This result shakes up the table and puts Brest under pressure. The standings are certainly much tighter now, and Brest will have their work cut out for them to stay ahead of Monaco. With a game in hand, Monaco has a real chance to solidify their position.

Lille that is also a good team will be a tough test. They also have ambition to finish in Champions League zone. Monaco need to capitalize their home advantage on Lille to make secure their position in Champions zone. Except PSG, No team is safe in Champions League zone right now. This sounds like a title race when three teams mainly have to fight for a position in Champions League zone. It seems more exciting to see than the title race which is considered granted to the hand of PSG.

[Leviathan.007]

This is a very serious stage for PSG and looking back at how devoted this players were while playing Barcelona means Luis Enrique is doing a good job at PSG and since PSG is in a comfortable position at the top of the league now, they will give more priority to their match against Borussia Dortmund because for Borussia Dortmund to eliminate Atletico Madrid means they are up to something which PSG needs more carefulness if not something strange might happen to them.

PSG only has to think about the match in the UCL semifinals without having to worry anymore about their position in League 1 because here PSG is still more dominant in winning the match. And they also have quite a lot of points so there is no need to be afraid of being overtaken by their rivals again, so what PSG needs to think about from now on is how to beat the Dortmund team in the semifinals so that PSG can qualify for the Champions League final for this season even though I'm also not really sure that PSG will win the Champions League this season.

I was not expecting to see PSG beating Barcelona in the last game of the Champions League because I was thinking Barcelona could have a much better situation for this match but the red card at the start of the game changed everything and Barcelona lost the game to let PSG be in the next game.
I think PSG can even give some rest to the players and let these players to be fresh and in good form for the game they have against Dortmund. However, PSG is lucky to play against Drtomund since Drtomund is not a strong team compared to the other teams left in this tournament.

This result shakes up the table and puts Brest under pressure. The standings are certainly much tighter now, and Brest will have their work cut out for them to stay ahead of Monaco. With a game in hand, Monaco has a real chance to solidify their position.

I was amazed to see Monaco's performance in that match when they won their away match against Brest even though this was not an easy match for both clubs, they almost had the same performance, even though Brest looked like they had a bigger chance because they were playing at home, but in reality they still couldn't beat Monaco, this result is the same as their previous meeting where Monaco also won the match over Brest with a score of 2:0. This shows that Monaco's performance is actually superior to Brest and this match also determines for both of them who is the strongest between them and now it has been answered. Monaco was able to beat Brest but unfortunately it had to be paid for by Monaco losing 2 players due to receiving red cards.



It was really unlucky to see that my multi bet was failed by Brest and also Atletico Madrid. I thought the result of the match between Brest and Monaco would be Brest winning or a draw but it turns out that Monaco was able to play very well to catch the runner up position and now the position in the League 1 standings. Brest has to be shifted by Monaco in 3rd place and Monaco itself still has 1 match yet to be played. I think Monaco will end up in runner up position at the end of the season.

PSG is using poor Lyon for practice tonight. Four goals to one in first half, such an embarrassing defeat for a big name like Lyon. Mbappe is yet to scored and by the time he join the goal scorers, Lyon might be soak in goals.

Luis Enrique just wants his team to be able to secure the title before the semi-final match in the Champions League, and that can be achieved by winning three matches before facing Dortmund, one has been passed so two remain and with their opponent being relatively weak then PSG will very likely get six points in two. this match.
PSG wants to keep Mbappe fit and Luis Enrique understands that his squad without Mbappe will be able to overcome Lyon, a team that cannot be underestimated at all but Lyon is not as strong as last season.
Monaco managed to return to second place after successfully beating Brest, this was an even match because both teams had the same opportunity to score a goal, only Monaco managed to turn it into a goal, and of course, this was quite surprising because Brest performed quite well in every home match and this was only their second defeat at home this season. This result does not change the leader of the standings but for Monaco, this is quite important because they can keep unbeaten in the last seven matches.

[rendravolt]

It all started with a quick own goal from Nemanja Matic which put PSG ahead of Lyon and in this match practically everything belonged to PSG. I didn't expect so many goals to be scored in the first half and PSG can certainly close out the win more quickly after the first half ended with a score of 4-1. After making a mistake, Lyon's defense became very weak and this was put to good use by the PSG players to continue attacking until they scored so many goals.

But unfortunately in the second half no more goals were scored and everything was over since PSG's 3 goal lead. Even if Lyon wants to change the result, I think it's very difficult because PSG won't let that happen and they just need to maintain that lead until the game is over. It feels like Lyon is still not capable enough to beat PSG this season and in the end they lost again after 5 matches without losing.

This result does not change the leader of the standings but for Monaco, this is quite important because they can keep unbeaten in the last seven matches.

Monaco victory over Brest is the first step for Monaco to maintain their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season, previously Monaco which was ranked 3rd and Brest ranked 2nd only had a difference of 3 points, but now the two have replaced each other's positions in the Ligue 1 standings, Monaco's success in defeating Brest is of course surprising because indeed since the beginning of the season Brest has had a good and consistent performance in Ligue 1 in winning,  But indeed the pressure towards the end of the season makes Brest seem to start to look shaky in maintaining their chances of going to the Champions League next season, currently Monaco and Brest have a 2 point difference from Monaco and Monaco benefits because they have 1 game that has not been played at this time.

Brest's defeat to Monaco Is Precisely now making Brest's chances of playing in the Champions League next season begin to be threatened, in addition to it will be difficult to overtake Monaco who are above them, Brest is now also starting to get pressure from Lille who are only one point adrift of Brest, for now I am starting to doubt if Brest can Qualify for the Champions League if it does not Immediately improve its performance in the remaining matches of the season.

Paris Saint Germain won this match easily, they were able to score a quick goal even though it was an own goal, but 3 minutes later they were able to double their position. They were able to control the match in the first half and at their peak they were able to score 4 goals before the first half ended. Lyon, who tried to give them resistance, could only score 1 goal in the first half.
In the second half, neither team could score another goal. However, this was a normal thing for Paris Saint Germain because Paris Saint Germain was very comfortable with the lead they had in the first half. It is very difficult to see a team that can compete with Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1, they have become the rulers of Ligue 1 who are difficult to stop.

Paris Saint Germain vs Lyon

Paris Saint Germain StartXI: 4-4-2

Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi; Marquinhos; Danilo Pereira; Lucas Beraldo; Marco Asensio; Warren Zaïre-Emery; Vitinha; Bradley Barcola; Randal Kolo Muani; Gonçalo Ramos

Lyon StartXI: 4-2-3-1

Anthony Lopes; Ainsley Maitland-Niles; Duje Ćaleta-Car; Jake O'Brien; Henrique; Maxence Caqueret; Nemanja Matić; Ernest Nuamah; Rayan Cherki; Saïd Benrahma; Alexandre Lacazette

For now is expected that PSG has the performance to win all their remaining marches on this French league because I have not really seen any club that is capable enough to win them, so before they even started the match against Lyon I already have a strong believe that they will win Lyon, however I'm not saying that Lyon is not in a good shape because they have actually make a great efforts on their matches especially their last four matches which they won three matches and lose only one match.

Currently Lyon is on the 8 position of the table and with their performance they have the chance of going more higher before the season runs out but however most of their next match will not be easy on them because they will be meeting Monaco and we all no the level of performance Monaco has on this season so beating them will be very difficult for Lyon.

Lille that is also a good team will be a tough test. They also have ambition to finish in Champions League zone.

This sounds like a title race when three teams mainly have to fight for a position in Champions League zone. It seems more exciting to see than the title race which is considered granted to the hand of PSG.

Monaco have been able to defeat Brest even though they were able to do that with having 2 red cards in that match. This match showed how strong their defense was and how they can be able to withstand the pressure from Brest. This win was a big one for Monaco and her fans and as such we know what the win holds for them in their league standings.

 ⁠Currently they have been able to overthrow Brest and yet they still have an outstanding match which is to be against Lile and with the loss of their key players, you can imagine how much they will be able to perform against Lile. The loss of 2 key players means that the match against Lile will be one very fierce one and you can’t expect anything less than a draw from that match.

 ⁠Brest I think are still at second place, but must try to maintain their place if they are wanting to finish at 2nd place because the pressure at this moment is pretty much and they must try to maintain this stand. The whole standings are tight now in the French League and at this moment you can only imagine how much the pressure will be in the final 5 matches.

 ⁠Monaco have the home advantage and if they can be able to defeat Brest while being away and with 2 red cards, you can say that they will be able to defeat Lile because of the home advantage. Lile are a difficult opposition and you can see them as one of the major competitors after PsG and are a tough opposition and you can say this match against Lile will be one very tough one.

Actually, Barcelona would be in a better situation if the red card didn't occur in the first half which made things difficult for Barca in maintaining their defense, I also don't think PSG would be able to beat Barca in that situation. PSG didn't seem to give up even though initially PSG was on the verge of leaving. UCL but apparently PSG is still given the opportunity to continue its performance in the UCL in the next round and we will see what PSG will look like when they face Dortmund.

Luis knows what must be done for his players to continue to appear impressive against Dortmund. PSG will definitely rotate their players to prepare for the big match which will be held in Germany. At least this will prevent PSG's key players from getting injured, before that PSG still has three matches in League 1 but I think PSG didn't use their mainstay players because their opponent is not a strong club so PSG won't experience big problems even though they have to rotate their players before meeting Dortmund.

[slapper]

I am one of those people who say that PSG will easily destroy Dortmund to be fair, which means that PSG will have literally just a single game left after that. Don't get me wrong, this is football and anything could happen and Dortmund could still beat PSG in a two game series, knock off stages are always a bit different and even a worse team could beat PSG in a shocking result, things are not always that obvious.

However, let's be honest and see the elephant in the room, Dortmund is the worst team between all the teams that are left and I believe that PSG is high high favourites of this series as well which means they SHOULD be getting the win. If that's the case, Mbappe and PSG could have a last dance and get UCL together before he leaves.

That Lyon game was drubbing. But hey, Dortmund's in the semis for a reason. They have won when it counts, those underdog wins we cherish. The Champions League knockout stage is different. One error or brilliant moment alters the game. Penalties could happen, and then who knows. Each team deserves respect. Indeed, Mbappe is mad. PSG must concentrate. Dortmund is tough and has weapons. Being PSG means not being arrogant. Let Dortmund have their say or they may make PSG pay. This won't end until it does

[bering]

Unfortunately Lyon winning streak have to ended yesterday because they have been humiliated by PSG with final scores 4-1 and i can see PSG playing with some of their reserved players even Luis Enrique didn't played Mbappe but although some of PSG key players were absense but they still too strong for Lyon but after this loses Lyon position is still at 8th place and for PSG they still able to managed their difference points with Monaco and PSG is very near to the title because mathematically PSG only required 2 wins again to lock first position and became an the champion of this season

Besides this match i have seen too Marseille playing dissapointing because they only playing draw from Toulouse they even almost be lost but luckily Moumbagna can scores in the extra time of second half and Marseille can avoiding to lost and Marseille in the difficult situation now because although they were able to advances to semifinal match of Europa League but possibly next season they will not playing at that competition again this because Marseille position currently at 9th place and Marseille even has 7 points below to Nice so big possibility Marseille will not finish at top 5

As what people predicted here. PSG has been successfully destroying lyon with decent scores as mbappe's club scored 4 goals in that game. Lyon can do nothing against PSG. I consider PSG on its peak performances even though it's has not yet reached the top performance since this is a new club.
Lyon was able playing equally against PSG and it was proving that how money is owning league 1 this time. There will be no club that can compete against PSG directly. The league needs some big investors to invest their money on the some clubs to follow PSG's standard in winning league one title.
Ez win for PSG. Even though the odds was damn bad consider it's very small but PSG gave us ez money from that match.

It's hard to maintain momentum when the king is last to fight
PSG is currently likened to the last king because seeing from what is happening now their strength is the greatest and fighting spirit is not enough to make PSG falter in this match.

But even so I will still appreciate what Lyon did in this match even though the results were in accordance with what I expected but in the end with the style of play that Lyon showed where they counterattacked even though their possession did not go well in the end it was a thing that deserved appreciation, it's just that their poor finishing made many opportunities to be wasted and but in terms of opportunities they did not lose to PSG in yesterday's match.
3 points further strengthens PSG for this season and indeed they have certainly returned to the championship with the advantage of points owned which is very far different from other clubs.

[Jody.Drummer]

This season is a different season in Ligue 1, if previously they had 20 clubs participating in the league, this season they only have 18 clubs participating in the League. That way they only have 34 matches from each club this season. Ligue 1 has just passed week 30, but for some clubs they haven't played their matches in week 29, which means there are only 5 or 4 more matches left for them to play in Ligue 1 this season.

Ligue 1 will definitely belong to Paris Saint Germain, they are 11 points ahead of the club closest to them now. With such a big distance and with the remaining matches, it is impossible for other clubs to catch up with the points that Paris Saint Germain has. Unless Monaco gets lucky by wiping out the remaining matches with a win, on the other hand Paris Saint Germain will have to accept successive defeats. It looks impossible for Paris Saint Germain if they have to accept consecutive defeats.
