French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[MAAManda]

There is only one match today which is the opening match at the same time. Marseille are going to have a home match against Angers. And this not a very tough match for them also. They lost to Lyon in their missing match by a comeback. I think that they will guarantee themselves this time and get a comfortable win by at least two goals. Angers are not in a good condition in the league and their job is very hard in this away match for them. Considering their head-to-head matches, Marseille haven't had very comfortable matches against them for a long time but this one should be like that.

Are you that sure with Marseille? we need to remember that they just played against Lyon and they played their great players then, maybe against Angers later they will not play their great players and this can be very risky for Marseille, I think I will choose Angers in my bet this time, good luck

I slightly agree with @jakdanyel in today choice of matches, I don't think marseille will repeat their mistake for failing to get  points in the previous lyon match, their failure to get points made them fail to coup the second position in the standings, so we can be sure if today marseille must get 3 points against angers in the match, besides that the match against angers certainly won't be as difficult as when facing lyon, because angers is currently also in a bad condition and they were only able to win 1 win out of 5 matches, if you look at the statistics of the two teams so far, of course I personally would prefer to bet on a marseille win.

we won't be comparing lyon to angers both in game and ball composure, merseille had better ball control but still Lyon were able to have some possession of the ball, Dembele's last goal for Lyon was like a big threat and it was. merseille's 3 point is more like a sure odd in this regard as merseille would take their revenge on angers. it would be an anger on angers

I think 3 points for Marseille today seemed right. Angers are not in good form after losing 0-1 to Saint-Etienne at home in their previous match. Although Marsielle also lost to Lyon in the previous match, their performance this season deserves more attention from the fans. Their win over Angers is expected today and it will lift their position to 2nd place in the standings.

I predict the score in this match will be 3-1 for Marseille to win.

One important duty of a good Coach is to make his players very cooperative, but Pochettino haven't done that. PSG players lack cooperation, that's probably why Despite all the star players in the team, they shouldn't beat Nice in the Coupe de France Round 16. And ended up losing the game in penalty kicks. Indeed, PSG is one of strongest squad in Ligue 1, and are not suppose to have difficulties in winning matches. But, It seems the club is too big for Pochettino to control. Maybe, PSG needs to sign another coach.

That is what Phil Jackson was known for, dude wasn't the greatest coach on paper or drawing up plays for example, but he was the greatest to handle ego from players. He managed to keep MJ and Scottie working together, he got the most out of Kobe and Shaq. I know that is basketball and a bit different but if you do not have a manager that doesn't handle the ego from the players then it fits the whole team games in the whole sports world.

This is why Pochettino is not really loved, he provided with so many championships and accolades but people still dislike him, why? Because, this team had a potential for even more and it is crumbling now that Mbappe is considering to leave.

I was also feeling in this way that Marseille is going to take full 3 points after losing against Lyon and dropped to third spot in French League, so they will keep some pressure on nice for having good competition but today Angers done something magic and in very early stage of match, and they are leading by 0 - 2 against Marseille in away game even we have some very long time into this match but look like they are still feeling pressure of Lyon defeat after having early lead.

Right now we are in 20 minute of game and now Milik is bringing something back for home team with his beautiful goal now score is 1 - 2 in favour of Angers look like we are going to have some good number of goals in remaining part of this match from both sides. Now after this start my prediction about this match is 3 - 2 or 4 - 2 in favour of Marseille.

Edit: 23rd minute and second goal from Marseille what a start of this match now score is 2 - 2 Gerson is goalscorer

[Joca97]

What a first half from marseille and angers it was quick to start by those two goals lead from angers but marseille team managed to equalize after 20 minutes since that they dominated the game and they were close to score the third goal i think if they keep this up they will get the three points.

Marseille dominated the entire match even when they were losing 0-2 and after that. They were able to at least go by half time to 2-2.
Now with 5 minutes to go Marseille is leading 4-2 and will probobly win this match. What an amazing match between these two teams.

[ingiltere]

Marseille made a marvelous comeback after falling two goals behind. Angers started the game pretty well but after those two goals they couldn't find any positions and shot on goal. Milik made a hat-trick, Gerson and Cengiz also scored. Marseille keep following PSG even though point difference is pretty high. Competition for second place is also important for teams. It's weird that Milik only scored one goal in twelve games before this match, maybe this game would be a milestone for him and we can see better of him in next games.

Yesterday I read somewhere in the news that Pochettino himself spoke in a close circle (this is a kind of leak) that he was morally tired of working as a coach at PSG and would leave the club in the summer. I don't know how true these rumors are, but with PSG at the moment he has not achieved what (I think) the management expected - winning the Champions League. Perhaps this season is his last chance.

We can read and watch many things related to this right now because most of the soccer community already understand now after end of this season we are going to watch few changes in few big clubs like Zidane is coming at PSG and Pochettino is leaving this job for Manchester United so right now if we have things like this it is no unusual may be it's something tactics by these good actors for having better intention from media.
Right now, biggest challenge is winning Champions League which is 50% chance for them as they are fail to have good and required results even spend very big amount on bringing star players into this team. Now Pochettino and Mbappe both are going to leave mean surely some changes going to happen for next manager for better results.

At the moment they are very far from this goal and their chances of winning the Champions League are not even close to 50%. The bookmakers accept bets on them winning the Champions League with odds of 9.95, which means that they estimate the probability of them winning as 10%. Despite the fact that PSG have a stellar squad, they have poor team play and I tend to think that the bookmakers' assessment is fair.

Given the number of remaining clubs in the Champions League draw, I don't think Paris Saint-Germain's 10% chance of winning the title is that small I assure you that if Paris Saint Germain passes Real Madrid in the 1/8 finals and shows a confident game at the same time, then the bets of the club from Paris will rise sharply. By the way, the upcoming probable departure of Pochettino and Mbappe may, on the contrary, liberate the team and the club may begin to show a higher-class game. The main problem of a club like Paris Saint-Germain is a higher level than the rest of the French championship clubs. This hinders the mood in certain matches, when the team cannot gather psychologically and show the desired result in one particular match, which happened recently in the cup match with Nice. And it also interferes with matches on the international stage, because it is difficult to switch to another level when the level of competition is much higher.

[LUCKMCFLY]

PSG will suck. They went out against Lille in the French Cup yesterday. Still surprising. They don't even have to do everything to become champions in this competition, because it will be easy for them. Provided they start playing with a B team, but I don't see that happening. PSG it also little value to the competition I think. There is only one goal and that is to win the Champions League. The only question in the competition is how many points ahead they win.

Well, it seems to me that PSG has already decided many things, among them what sounds the most is that Mbappé will be at Real Madrid, the truth is I don't know how PSG will let him go, however in the league I think they have everything so well prepared that they can take out team B because they are taking care of their best players.

For them one of the priorities will be the UCL, but will they manage to win it? even without Mbappé if the transfer is done as quickly as possible?

Actually before the game started I did predict Marseille would win the game. But did not expect Marseille to score up to 5 goals,
an extraordinary performance that Marseille showed. Marseille deserves to be in second place under PSG, although the difference in points
with PSG is still 10 points apart, but the victory against Angers is very important to boost the morale of the Marseille players.
Since Marseille's previous match was defeated by Lyon, hopefully with the big win that Marseille gets can make Marseille players more
motivated for the next match. Moreover, the next Marseille will meet Nice in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, Nice is not an easy
opponent to beat. Besides Nice being under Marseille with one game remaining, Nice also surprisingly beat PSG in the Coupe de France.
So it will be a very interesting Nice vs Marseille match, this is a difficult match to predict. But I predict Nice will beat Marseille,
because Nice are on fire, in the last 5 matches in Ligue 1 they have achieved perfect results.

After a long break, we got a chance to enjoy a match of Ligue 1. And the match was very enjoyable. Angers players took a 2-0 lead in just 11 minutes. I didn't think they would lose 5-2 after scoring both goals so fast.
However, the Angers conceded two goals in just 10 minutes and the first half ended in a 2-2 draw. They made only 4 shots in the entire match. We have seen the dominance of Marseille players throughout the match. They scored three more goals in the second half and won the match 5-2.

[Minecache]

Looking forward to watching the match between Monaco vs Lyon today. This will probably be the most competitive match of the day. Lyon are now just 1 point ahead of Monaco. The team that wins today's match will advance to fourth place in the points table. Although both teams seem to be strong, Lyon is far ahead in their head-to-head match. Lyon has won 4 of the last 5 head to head matches. Monaco won only one match. So in today's match, it seems safe for me to bet on Lyon's victory.

Even in the previous match when Lyon played at home and against Marseille, I felt Lyon almost lost that match. Also, Lyon's record when playing away so far this season doesn't look good and as such, I personally would still doubt for Lyon to win today's game against Monaco. But even so, I think a draw can still happen with the option of both teams to score, it's an interesting match that both have chances to win.

[diderdrogba]

Marseille just destroyed Angers yesterday in a home game by 5-2. And it was really epic that they turned the game around from a 0-2 disadvantage in the first half. They ended it by a 2-2 draw. And in the second half, Angers weren't able to do anything against them. Marseille got a spectacular performance that they didn't even let their opponent shoot for once. And A. Milik also had a great day as he made a hat-trick. He has 4 goals in total in the Ligue 1 so far and he scored three of them here.

[MAAManda]

After a stunning victory from Marseille against Angers, we will see another match in Ligue 1, namely the match between Saint-Etienne Vs Montpellier. I don't know what happened to Saint-Etienne, they have played very badly this season and are only at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings, meanwhile Montpellier are in 6th place in the Ligue 1 standings. I have a feeling that Saint-Etienne will win today's game, what do you think?

10 percent is always 10 percent even if there were only two clubs left in the draw  If you think this estimate is wrong, then you can bet money and make a profit (on average, of course, and provided that you are right). PSG have a lot of problems, it's harder to say where they don't have problems (compared to other top clubs). This is probably why the bookmakers quote them so low (and I agree with the bookmakers on this issue).

After a stunning victory from Marseille against Angers, we will see another match in Ligue 1, namely the match between Saint-Etienne Vs Montpellier. I don't know what happened to Saint-Etienne, they have played very badly this season and are only at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings, meanwhile Montpellier are in 6th place in the Ligue 1 standings. I have a feeling that Saint-Etienne will win today's game, what do you think?

In a previous post I said that marseille will destroy angers in that match, but it looks like you still have faith in anger and I think now you have lost some money on that bet because of favoring anger, hopefully you don't lose a lot of money in that match

[ILuckyGuyI]

The main event today is Monaco - Lyon obviously. I'm expecting to watch a very competitive game and an incredible rivalry between these teams. Monaco seem to be one of the deadly teams in home games this season. Lyon have a really difficult job to do now. But when it comes to the general performance of each team, they are really similar to each other. Lyon are only one point above Monaco in the standings. But if we compare the recent performances, Lyon are having a better streak. They haven't lost for seven weeks in the league and won their last three games. They would resist Monaco well but I still feel like Monaco would win by a one-goal difference or draw with them.

although sent etienne are slumped at the bottom of the standings but tonight managed to play well, the first half is over sent etienne trailing 0-1 at home to montpellier, etienne managed to put up a fight, but montpellier played loose, they are also superior in this game, most likely in week 23, montpellier managed to bring home 3 points, and can boost their standings, if they can bring home 3 points, they can occupy the 4th position in the standings.
