French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Roseline492]

The fastest goal in this season is to fall to Marseille in the ongoing match against Montpellier performed by Elye Wahyi in the 1st minute of the match, this is quite crazy because it seems that Montpellier is not ready with such a fast attack.

We have only two clubs that conceived the highest goal today on this French league which is Montpellier and Le havre and from statistics of Montpellier their last match was almost the same goal they conceive today because the difference was just a goal, however if you are ask to rate the effort of Der Zakarian being the Montpellier coach what would you rate him?, for me I would obviously rate him very low because the club is deprecating on every match understand his management, if relegation becomes their faith this season changing a couch will be the right thing for the club because their matches is like a club that came to this league to play friendly match because there is no any kind of ambition to win any match.

[bering]

The match statistics has been showed that Marseille is very dominate the match because they got 66% ball possession and Marseille has 21 total of shots so from these statistics we can see it that Marseille is really aggressive even at the first half Marseille can leading 3 goals and this situation makes Montpellier is hard to bounced back especially during the match they have to playing with under pressure and if we look at Marseille's performance certainly they really deserved to gets huge win from this match and once again we have seen Greenwood did his magic that in this match Greenwood has scored and he also has successfully to create 1 assist and i think he is man of the match

After failing to win any of their last two games before today's game at Montpellier, Marseille were able to bounce back to winning ways again in the best fashion anyone can ever think of. I wasn't surprised with the statistics because I watched the game and saw how Marseille dominated the game from the start to finish. Mason Greenwood resurgence this season continues improve on each game and I hope he continues to be this impressive with his performances. Great victory for Marseille.

Marseille managed to take advantage of an easy match to secure full points, a 5-0 win over Montpellier certainly looks very promising. Basically, Montpellier is a team at the bottom of the standings, they have not been able to do much to get out of the relegation zone. The additional 3 points make Marseille stick closely to PSG and AS Monaco in the Champions League zone, they are only 3 points behind.
If Marseille is able to maintain its impressive performance, it is possible that De Zerbi squad will be directly involved in the fight for the Ligue 1 trophy this season, and that is indeed what many parties hope for. Mason Greenwood seems to be reborn, he is quickly able to adapt and give his influence in the team, I think Manchester United should consider recruiting him back.
De Zerbi has the ability to qualify his team for the Champions League next season, at least by looking at the performance they are showing at this time.

I could barely breathe because I was shocked and Marseille could so quickly get this goal, hahah, see this match might be interesting if watched longer.

Olympique Marseille played that match with so much anger not minding that they even played at away. I initially though that Montpellier, who have scored in all their home matches this season, will be able to score at least one goal. but unfortunately, they failed to cancel Marseille 5 goals clean sheet.

Luis Enrique is a great coach and he managed to maintain his victory in the domestic league continuously, it's just that for the UCL league they don't get it, and only in that match they are difficult to achieve with Luis Enrique so far, even when having many star players in the squad cannot bring PSG to be the winner of the UCL league, extending his contract is good for maintaining victory in the domestic league, but if PSG wants to be able to move more in the Champions league maybe Enrique needs to have more potential players and some appropriate strategies in defeating his competitors in the champions league.

The league is not competitive enough and I think that is one of the biggest problems that PSG is not getting over with. It sometimes looks as if they can't play on a consistently high level and then out of a sudden they have a Champions League game with an opponent on whole different level. In the Premier League the teams have a top game almost every week whereas PSG is playing against these mediocre opponents all year long. I wouldn't write then off just yet though in the Champions League.

I think you just stated the biggest problem of PSG that have made them not perform so greatly at the champions league even though they dominated the French Lig 1. Assuming the league is so competitive like the Spanish La Liga, they would have been accustomed to playing strong opponents and this would have helped them greatly at the champions league. This year I'm seeing some changes in Lyon and Monaco and if they are able to remain consistent in the way they are going, they might become the two strong team that will give PSG hard time whenever they meet.

[TelolettOm]

And in the end the score ended in a 0-0 draw without anyone scoring a goal. But here, I am quite impressed with Monaco's ability to hold LOSC to a draw with their condition playing with only 10 players starting from the 61st minute.

The match was quite intense from the start of the match and in the first half they had already collected 4 yellow cards and 3 from Lille, the meeting between the two teams is always difficult to ascertain because both teams know each other well and are quite solid when competing,

Yes, indeed so far the H2H between the two is not much different, Even since last season, their H2H is very balanced, each win 1x, and draw 2x, quite balanced. And they are also in the top 4, so the race to continue to be in that position is certainly very intense and tight. That's why Monaco's efforts when playing with only 10 players were very high because they had to play against a team that was on the same level as them, but they were short of one player.

They are rivals of the same level and the draw has been established several times so it is very difficult for both of them to win, Monaco is currently at the top of the standings they have performed impressively this season even though the meeting against Lille was an important meeting in the hunt for points but in fact the unexpected result was a draw for Monaco, both played quite detailed not wanting to be reckless in terms of defense and when Monaco lacked players they were still able to defend so that Lille had no more chances as expected.

Currently Monaco is below PSG so in my opinion if they want to compete for the title they have to play better and be careful so that unwanted things don't happen because points are very valuable at this time, but Monaco also has to score a lot of goals in my opinion if the competition will be complicated, in my opinion Monaco still has a full chance to compete for the title this season.

In the French Soccer League, Montpellier vs Marseille, the Marseille team won the match by scoring 5 goals. The players of the Montpellier team could not score any goals in this match.  Wahi scored the 1st goal in 1 minute and A. Harit scored the 2nd goal in 36 minutes.P.  Højbjerg 3rd goal at 40 minutes M. Greenwood 4th goal at 58 minutes L. Henrique 5th goal at 73 minutes won the match.

[ancafe]

Although they still get 1 point from this match, but in my opinion it is an unsatisfactory result for them. Because in their game they were better and even though in the end they had to play with 10 men, they were still able to play well and did not give Lille the opportunity to take advantage of the lack of players they felt after one of their players had to be sent off from the game. This result made them have to be in 2nd place in the standings following Paris Saint Germain's victory. Although in terms of points they are still the same, Paris Saint Germain is superior in terms of goal productivity.

Something could happen if the players are not careful and the effect is like what they felt so they had to share points in the match. This needs to be evaluated because the red card given actually does not endanger Monaco's position and if he did not do it, it might not affect anything. After facing the Champions League match, Monaco will travel to Nice's headquarters and they must win the match to make their position a little safer.

If Monaco is able to win, then most likely the points they collect will be a little safer in the first position of the standings because PSG will face Marseille who are currently also struggling to maintain their position in the top three of the standings. The competition in the top three is indeed quite fierce because the points collected are very close to each other.

Matchday 8 brought good fortune for the twin Olympiques, the first was Lyon who were able to win against Le Havre when they played away and also recorded a clean sheet, and then followed by Marseille who also got a clean sheet and a big score. With the results achieved by Marseille, the top standings of Ligue 1 are becoming more interesting to keep an eye on. PSG with their 20 points, AS Monaco with the same points as PSG, and then Marseille with their 17 points. Does this mean we can expect to see another strong candidate besides PSG to become Ligue 1 champions?

It's a very embarrassing result for Montpellier. They only played defense the whole game. They attacked Marseille, but it didn't help much. They're staying in the relegation zone right now.

Montpellier's president sacked their coach right after they lost 5 goals to Marseille. It's a very good decision considering their gap to the safe zone is just getting bigger. They should take a risky decision by signing a new coach. I'm feeling curious about who's gonna be a new coach.

[ajanwalker]

Yesterday I watched Marseille play great ball. If they continue this football, they will be champions in the 1st League.

This year I watched Montpellier against Marseille for the first time. The team that was once a champion is now struggling with a bad squad. (They were relegated to the lower league after the championship, but I don't understand why they went so far back)

5 goals were scored in the match. The decision was made 11 to 4. Dzodic, who entered the game in the 55th minute in Montpellier, received a red card. I really don't understand why the referee gave a red card. He is not the last man, there is no hard intervention, but he gave a red card.

After this card, Marseille scored another goal. Marseille could have scored 7-8 goals if they wanted, but they preferred to turn the ball over instead of attacking effectively. He scored the 6th goal, but the goal was not considered valid because the position was offside.

The slow down Marseille did experienced recently was obviously a temporary one and now winning two games epically in a row is a good grounds to kick start the journey back to wining ways as we all do know, Marseille has got  very firm squad which cannot be compared to that of Montpelier, even depth wise, Marseille is much ahead and was expected to win that game but the land slide victory was what really got many interested. I'm beginning to see Marseille turning out to be one of the big rivals in the Ligue 1.

I think it's very okay to say that Marseille's performance against Montpellier yesterday was incredible but I find it as an exaggeration when you say they'll be champions of the French Ligue 1 is they continue to deliver such performance. Montpellier is the lowest ranked team in the French league this season as they've been able to pick just one win in all competitions since the start of the season so a convincing win against them I don't think is a big deal especially when they faced a Marseille side that's been impressive this season. Paris Saint Germaine still stands as the favorites to win the league title title this season but if Marseille must end their dominance, they must significantly improve beyond beating a bottom club.

[tusandii]

Now PSG managed to save 3 full points and get total of 20 points to be able to match Monaco, but PSG excels with more goal scored because several times they were able to win with fairly convincing score.
I think there are many people here who get victory from choosing PSG as the favorite, haha ​​I won with two very good betting options for this match.
Mayulu, Asensio, Barcola and Lee Kang-in became the four players who scored goal for PSG victory today, but I always focus on Bradley Barcola because he is PSG mainstay player at the moment and I think he can be really sharp goal machine.

Of course many make PSG the favorite win because they are also playing at home so they can more easily slaughter their opponents but Strasbourg's performance in breaking through PSG's goal also cannot be ignored they also performed extraordinarily even though they could not beat PSG or hold a draw because in any case PSG really needs the 3 points to return to the top of the standings.
The players you mentioned are indeed PSG's mainstay players this season they are also included in the list of top scorers in league 1 Bradley Barcola himself is in first place while having collected 7 goals so far.

Marseille team is in very good form this season. If this consistency can be maintained then I believe this team will be able to compete for the title. The performance of the forward players of this team is very good. However, the performance of the defenders is somewhat erratic. In 8 matches, Marseille players managed to score 21 goals and conceded 8 goals. I wouldn't call Marseille's defense weak, but Marseille's defenders need some stability in performance.

In the last match against Montpellier we saw the great dominance of Marseille. Marseille's players took advantage of Montpellier's weak defense. Marseille players managed to score 5 goals in this match. Marseille lost points in the last two matches. So Marseille needed this big win to boost the confidence of the players. However, Marseille are going to face PSG in the next match. Marseille is likely to lose in this match.

Marseille managed to destroy Montpellier with a big score and this shows how they are starting to get back to winning way after the last two matches failed to win, the 0-5 score that managed to get  in away match actually makes them now able to maintain the championship competition with PSG and Monaco, their performance is indeed very commendable especially since they played very impressively throughout the match,  But indeed one match with a big score still cannot be our reference to say that they are strong candidates to win, because after all their performances are still very inconsistent at the moment, just like you, I have also never thought of another team that will win in Ligue 1 other than PSG, because it is undeniable that they are the most dominant team and have a 90% chance of defending the title this season in Ligue 1.

Montpellier performance under Michel Der Zakarian is compeletely messed up because from 8 matches in Ligue 1 Montpellier only get 1 win and 1 draw and their defensive lines also very poor that from those matches Montpellier have already to conceded 26 goals which mean for each match Montpellier conceded 3.25 goals average and these statistics makes Montpellier as the team with the poorest defense in Ligue 1 so i think it's normal if the president starting to worried about this team because they don't want Montpellier to relegated to Ligue 2 and probably the president decision when they sacked Michel Der Zakarian is a good decision because with changing the manager Montpellier performance will be much better and according to the news Montpellier president has been considering want to hire Jean-Louis Gasset as their new manager

<snip>

The match against Marseille merely served to offer evidence to the claim that De Zerbi commands the hottest football in Europe at the moment. The players from Marseille kept moving, not a second's break, finding space in every possible nook of the pitch. Their dynamism left the backline for Montpellier with little defense overwhelmed. In fact, each time Montpellier tried to defend, there was always available space for the group in behind and they punished their adversaries with quick, incisive attacks. It was one of their better games of late.

While Montpellier did contribute to making Marseille’s game easier due to a less solid defense, we can’t ignore the fact that De Zerbi also orchestrated very well an attacking strategy that would work efficiently. The flow in the game and quick ball circulation really made Marseille appear far superior in this match. Where it matters most, Montpellier must with immediate effect correct their defensive weaknesses if they want to get out of this negative trend and compete better in the league.

Montpellier is a team that is currently in last place in Ligue 1. It is very difficult for them to get out of the relegation zone considering their very weak defense. Montpellier have won 4 points in 8 matches, but that will not have much effect because Angers and Le Harve are still stronger. Le Havre has the same points as Montpellier, but Le Havre is slightly stronger in defense so they concede fewer goals than Montpellier.

Until week 8, Ligue 1 looked quite tight. The competition for first place between Monaco and PSG is tight, I mean both teams have the same performance and points at the moment. PSG and Monaco both have 20 points currently in 8 matches, but Marseille who has a gap of 3 points behind should not be ignored. Marseille can threaten the top spot with its good performance, so there is no time to rejoice for PSG and Monaco at the top.

Only 3 points adrift, Marseille shouldn't be forgotten. Though the limelight shines more on Monaco and PSG at the moment, the journey of the season is long, and everything can happen.

Marseille has the potential to catch up so long as they keep up the good work. A poor result or two from PSG or Monaco can open up great opportunities for Marseille to press and threaten the top position. So, yes, competition in Ligue 1 is still very open. It will be interesting to see how these three teams compete until the end of the season.

It was a nice game for Marseille because they were able to get a good win in this match, seeing how they competed I was quite sorry for Montpellier because they didn't get a goal back, even though they had several chances but couldn't score them into goals.

There are too many weaknesses in Montpellier that must be improved, especially their defense, of the many matches played, their defense is the worst, they are fresh food for other teams to get goals and even if they want better defenders, I doubt that they have a lot of funds to buy, they can only improve their defense with their players and get serious training.

 The defense line of Montpellier is a big problem that is clearly needed to be fixed right away.

With fragile defense such as this, it is difficult for them to compete competitively. They become an easy target for the opposing team to score goals. And if they do not have funds to strengthen the team through transfer, then the only way is to improve the performance of existing players, and in this case, specifically to strengthen defense, more intensive training.

PSG vs Strasbourg.

Paris Saint-Germain is ready to overtake the ranking currently occupied by Manaco, against Strasbourg should not be a difficult match for them. based on H2H, Strasbourg always has difficulty competing with this giant French League team. moreover, this match is held at the Parc des Princes. referring to the predicted PSG line-up, it seems that not much will be rotated by Enrique, Asenssio seems to be the main starter as a center forward, Dembele and Barcola as usual play on the wings. referring to the line-up I referred to, Joao Neves seems to only be a substitute. considering that PSG three days later will host PSV in the Champions League group stage, Luis Enrique's team must get full points to secure their position in the group stage table. The PSG vs Strasbourg match will be held soon, both teams have a gap based on the odds presented by the bookies. but it seems Paris Saint-Germain will not be too insistent in this match, they will not rush to score a quick goal. the point is, PSG is targeting to eliminate Manaco at the top of the standings.

PSG team played excellent in this match and they gave a sign of being good team . They did 4 goals in this match and that was not an easy task but they did that.  4 different players did goals in this match and  Mayulu did goal at 18 minutes after starting the match and they continue to do goals in this match. Asensio did goal at 47 minutes and  Mara did goal for his team at 58 minutes and we saw this this team as recessive team because they did not play well in this match and their stat was very bad in this match. PSG football team has good position on points table after winning this match. They have 20 points and they have first poison and they have capability to win this league1.

The Ligue 1 for long now have been the league for PSG. Every year they gets to win the league title as though it’s theirs to win always. PSG have been playing very well in my opinion and with the way they’re going this season, it is also going to be a big win for them and will be taking the Ligue 1 title home this time around too. Only Monaco are showing some kind of resilience and fights for this title with them, and as it is now, they’re keeping up with the pace but I don’t know how far they can keep up with this. Monaco should know that it won’t be an easy one for them especially when they meet with PSG head to head. But we shall get to see how they farewell to the end of the season. I see their performance great and encouraging but I can’t actually vouch for them any further to get that big result and win the league title.
