French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bering]

I was found one interesting fact about Marseille this season because under De Zerbi Marseille has unique records because Marseille away matches records is much better than their home matches records and it proven from 6 wins total which Marseille gets this season because 5 of them is came from away matches so these records is proven Marseille has good motivation to win everytime playing away rather than their home matches

And today Marseille will fight against Lens and based on meeting statistics i can see Lens is slightly better than Marseille but i don't think Lens will be able to beat Marseille because their performance also still not stable even considering those records above possibly Marseille will being an the winner of this match and Marseille has good odds to bets @3.25

I still consider PSG as a strong candidate in Ligue 1 and that can be seen so far in the matches that have taken place and PSG's strength is much better compared to some of the other challengers. The 3-0 win over Toulouse made PSG even further in the first place of the standings so they can focus more on facing the Champions League for the upcoming matches. Facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League is not easy even though in the previous match they were defeated by Barcelona with a fairly embarrassing score.

Both teams are in good form in their respective leagues but it will be very difficult to predict the match in the Champions League. I am more confident about PSG in this match even though Bayern Munich has the advantage of playing at home.

There is no doubt that, PSG's strength is much stronger than other teams and PSG's victory over Toulouse at home is very reasonable in my opinion and even PSG was able to control the game quite well even though two goals occurred in the final minutes of the match so that it finally ensured PSG 3-0 in this match.

In Ligue one, maybe at this time only Monaco is able to put pressure on PSG and at the same time this weekend Monaco also won to continue to maintain the distance of points from PSG who are at the top of the standings.

And for the competition in the Champion League I think it is very different and PSG is still not able to be favored this season, especially if you look at the overall best European teams that are developing rapidly which makes PSG even more difficult.

Lyon has been given until the end of the season by the Direction Nationale du Controle de Gestion (DNCG) to sort out their financial mess including the club debts, failing which they are threatened with relegation to Ligue 2. It seems that John Textor as the majority shareholder, must sell the club to a Middle Eastern businessman, as a step to save Lyon from bankruptcy and relegation. It is not as easy as it sounds, but if Lyon is acquired by a Middle Eastern businessman, they can recover quickly and will be like PSG.

The truth is I didn't know that Lyon was in such a bad state as to think about all those psychiatric problems, and since what you say is very true , a sheikh could make the difference , well it wouldn't be bad, I would like this team to survive and they could make the difference , maybe with a higher budget they could get players who want to Stay in Europe and get a very good pay, that's not bad at all, what I can say is that this team should not be relegated to 2nd Division for these problems, it's a bit unfair, but here the problem with money comes up again, money is honestly sorely needed even in the big stages.

Lyon situation is indeed quite concerning and unexpected at all, before the announcement of sanctions we had never heard that Lyon had serious financial problems, especially since they are a club with a long history and quite good achievements in Ligue 1 before, the only solution for them  is to sell many star players in order to restore their financial stability and also avoid relegation like the threat given by the current DNCG,  If we talk about big investors or sheikh as you said, it seems that it will be difficult for them to get in the near time given the length of the acquisition process that has occurred, besides that we know that so far apart from PSG, other teams in Ligue 1 do not have the attraction to recruit sponsors or investors who are able to be their supporters.

PSG's landslide victory over Toulouse when playing at home is a very common thing for some people because Toulouse is not a very strong team in Ligue 1 although it is also not a bad team in Ligue 1. However, this has given an assessment that Toulouse's quality is still far below PSG so that Toulouse was not able to reply to a single goal against PSG in that match. As for the match in the Champions League, I still have quite doubts about PSG because Munich will definitely try to win as a comeback from the defeat they experienced when facing Barcelona.

Today in league 1 I have positive thoughts on the bookmakers favorite team after seeing the satisfying results of PSG and Monaco. And today I will bet on 1x2 which gives quite large and tempting odds.
What do you think? Is this very risk?

• Lens vs Marseille (Lens win)
• Stade Reims vs Lyon (Lyon win)
• Saint-Etienne vs Montpellier (Saint-Etienne)

Monaco vs Brest was very balanced in terms of chances and possession, but Monaco was able to maximize the opportunities they had, 4 shots on target, 3 of which were successfully converted into goals. However, I appreciate Brest's performance, especially in the second half, they appeared more dominant.
On the other hand, PSG won easily, I don't see Toulouse being able to put up a fight in the match.
With this result, the gap between the top and the runner-up has not changed.

I believe it is a very risky bet if you bet with big money, but if you only bet with money that is ready to lose, then the bet can be a challenge for yourself. Because anyway, about Reims vs Lyon I believe it is not easy for Lyon to win, because their current point gap is also only 1 point. Lyon with 18 points and Reims with 17 points and also, some time ago Reims managed to hold PSG to a draw at Stade Auguste-Delaune. Thus, I believe Reims also has a chance to win or maybe also end the match with a draw.

Likewise about Marseille, although previously I also thought Marseille would have a good chance of being able to beat Lens. Because after all, Marseille is still by far the best team for away games, but I think again that Lens also still has the ability to have good performance and results in home games, so any result is still possible. About the match between St Etienne vs Montpellier, that these two teams are teams that are in the relegation zone,  so I personally am not too interested in this match.

PSG shown why they're favourites to win the league this season, they control their game from start to finish and there was not any moment that looked like they were going to lose the game. PSG game against Toulouse was just one sided but the game between Monaco and Brest was entertaining and it ended 3:2. Both clubs scored am extra minute goal and although the game was an open game for any of the clubs to win but Monaco showed great strength by being 3:1 up until the final moments of the game when Brest were able to scored another goal. Brest has now lost the same amount of games that they lost last season and we haven't gotten to the half of this season yet.

Monaco and PSG victory showed the strength and consistency from both teams in Ligue 1 this season, Monaco were able to make good use of the opportunity even though the match against Brest was quite difficult for them, their effectiveness in scoring from the existing opportunities was very good in the match, although Brest was able to try to get up and pressure Monaco in the second half, but their solid defense was able to maintain the victory until the end of the match.  

On the other hand, it seems that there is indeed nothing to tell about PSG vs Toulouse, because indeed PSG showed great dominance in the match, the victories achieved by the two teams at the top of the standings do not affect their position in the standings at this time, with still PSG leaving Monaco with a difference of 6 points for the time being.

• Lens vs Marseille (Lens win)
• Stade Reims vs Lyon (Lyon win)
• Saint-Etienne vs Montpellier (Saint-Etienne)

The match between Reims and Lyon will be a match between two teams that lack consistency and are not performing well. Three points for both teams in this match will help them to move up in the league. Lyon plays more relaxed football away from home, away from the pressure. Lyon is one step ahead in this match as Reims' defense structure does not inspire confidence. Lyon would be my choice in this match.

St Etienne doesn't inspire confidence in the side betting as long as they can't find stability. Similarly, Montpellier is going through a troubled period. It is very difficult to make a choice for both teams. Betting on a side can be risky. For me, I'll go for goals for this match. 2 goals or more would be an ideal choice.

The match between Lens and Marseille has started and is now entering the 20th minute. And in those 20 minutes, Lens can be seen dominating the match and being more aggressive in their attacks. However, even so, if we look at the previous match between Lens and Marseille. Marseille was quite capable of winning the match under Lens' dominance. so I believe that Marseille will emerge as the winner in this match.

And regarding Stade Reims vs Lyon, although in several matches Stade Reims performed inconsistently, they are a team that was able to hold PSG to a draw so that the match ended in a draw. And it is likely that this match between Stade Reims and Lyon will also end in a draw.

while regarding the Saint-Etienne vs Montpellier match, yes I also believe that Saint-Etienne will emerge as the winner.

[Lidger]

I can totally understand why you would say something like that to Monaco, because consistency is still a big problem for several teams in Ligue 1, almost all of them have the same problem, except Paris Saint Germain. Monaco is currently 6 points behind Paris Saint Germain, so there is no other choice for them than winning to keep their distance from the strongest team in Ligue 1. Their position will also be threatened if they get a draw, especially if they get a defeat. because they are only 3 points away from the team below them at the moment, Marseille. and Marseille themselves will definitely maximize their chances if Monaco gets a negative result.

Not long ago Monaco were ahead of PSG, just a few rounds ago, but now they are already 6 points behind them. I understand your logic that Monaco needs a win to prevent the gap from growing even bigger, but in reality, things could work out differently, if PSG were able to break away by 6 points, then for Monaco it could mean losing faith that they can continue to fight PSG for the title. I don't believe that PSG will start dropping points again and let them get too close.

The points table will continue to change if there is a tough competition between the team at the top of the points table and the team at the second position of the points table. PSG has been consistently performing in Ligue 1 and they are still a consistent performing team so I don't see any other team doing well in Ligue 1 this season. At the beginning of the season, Monaco may have been able to compete with PSG a bit, but as time goes on, PSG's performance is getting better and Monaco is lagging behind PSG in terms of points. PSG will certainly perform better than they have in the coming matches and we may see a weaker performance from Monaco. By doing this, PSG will be much ahead of the second-placed team in terms of points.

Considering all these things, I still think PSG will be champions in the local league this season.

Monaco yesterday survived a late scare from their visitors Brest to secure all three points and maintain their six points difference behind league leaders Paris Saint Germaine who comfortably defeated Toulouse. After the results of yesterday in the French Ligue 1, I concluded that the only team that'll strongly challenge reigning French champions Paris Saint Germaine for the league title this season will be Monaco. They've been consistent this season and if they can continue to remain this consistent, we might see a new winner of the French league at the end of the season.

Actually, I hope Marseille can also enliven the competition for the trophy this season, not just AS Monaco putting pressure on PSG. The path to winning the Ligue 1 trophy is not easy, AS Monaco, although they look promising this season, have not yet proven their true strength, namely facing PSG directly. We will witness their meeting at the end of December and early January, a match that will give AS Monaco a chance to narrow the points gap. Many people hope that the Ligue 1 trophy will be won by a team other than PSG, because it will make the competition look more competitive. Just like the Bundesliga last season, but the fact is, until week 12 no team has been able to beat PSG.

It is not as easy as it sounds, but if Lyon is acquired by a Middle Eastern businessman, they can recover quickly and will be like PSG.

I think selling the club to prospective investors from the middle east or wherever would be the best alternative right now, but come to think of it, are there no billionaire investors in France or Europe that could acquire the french outfit? Or perhaps the club executives could also go into a deal or something similar with what Barcelona did with Spotify thereby retaining some percentage of the club and leaving some to their partners, that way everybody would have a stake in club instead of allowing the club face drastic measures by being relegated at the end.

On this particular game no less was expected of PSG , not against a know weak team, if PSG had even ended in a draw I believe it would have been disappointing because it's actually expected they had the kind of landslide victory they did had in this game and even the dominance by PSG was aswell expected so it was a deserving victory for them and may help them keep their minds prepared for the champions League fixture which appears to be even tougher than their domestic league. It will take more than the effort they used to win the Toulouse game to win Munich.

Paris Saint Germain is getting stronger at the top of the standings with this victory, yes that is no doubt when they can win a match that on paper they are very favored. They managed to create 3 goals in this match by recording a clean sheet too.
Paris Saint-Germain is very dominant in Ligue 1, they are very difficult to beat. They are very superior in all aspects that a team needs to become champions. But unfortunately that only applies in the domestic league, and when they are in the Champions League they can't even do much even though they have many star players like in previous seasons.

There is no change in the points difference between PSG and Monaco because they both won the match on Matchday 12, Monaco had led 3 goals first before Brest was able to score their second goal in the final minutes of the match but still the goal could not save them from defeat now Brest's ranking in League 1 is getting lower even though last season Brest's performance was quite strong in League 1 while in the Champions League this season he was able to appear impressive and has not experienced defeat. For PSG, there is no doubt that they are the only strongest and will win easily at home.

The strongest team in Ligue 1 is PSG. There is no doubt that PSG is the most capable team to dominate Ligue 1. If any team in Ligue 1 wants to compete with PSG for the title, then they must perform consistently well. Monaco has performed brilliantly since the beginning of this season. Monaco has been able to hold the top spot of the table for a long time. However, due to irregular performance in the last few matches, Monaco has fallen behind by 6 points.

Monaco played very well against Brest. This match was very competitive. Brest tried their best to gain points from this match. If Monaco made any mistake, Monaco would have lost points in this match too.
