French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[pusaka]

Very good choice bro. Although PSG has a greater chance of winning, in football anything can happen and choosing to bet on a double chance (draw or Lyon) is the right choice to get a surprise that is equal to the risk you take. The odds are very large and I will even support your choice.
Looking at the odds on BTTS (Yes) has a number of around @1.55 and BTTS (No) with odds @2.40. This means that Lyon and PSG have a big chance of a draw because both teams will definitely score.

Yes, football is not mathematics that we can predict precisely based on the opportunities that each team has, on the field everything will be very different and that will affect the final result of the match. Although Paris Saint Germain is said to be a favorite by the bookies, taking a big risk to bet on a draw or win for Lyon is also tempting. Yes, although in terms of meeting records it is very difficult for Lyon to hold a draw or beat Paris Saint Germain. Luck may also work in this match, and if you bet on Lyon or a draw, of course we have to hope that luck will come to the away team.

The match ended 1-1 with balanced play from both teams. Lille found the equalizer in the 87th minute. Marseille was dreaming of winning until the 87th minute, but after that minute they started to look for ways to save the equalizer. Because Lille played really effectively. Also Marseille got a red card in the extra time. Although this did not affect their playing style much, both teams got a point at the end of the match. I think this is a good success for Lille because they managed to get a point from a difficult away game.

For Marseille this is a fairly disadvantageous result because the home game should have given them three full points to secure second place in the standings even though they are currently still in second place with the same points as Monaco. Lille struggled to keep up with the game aimed at by Marseille but they have good defense skills so Marseille had difficulty scoring goals.

The standings have not changed where Marseille is still in second place and has the same number of points as Monaco in third place. But the draw gives PSG the opportunity to widen the points gap again because PSG have not played their 15th match and their chances of winning the match are quite big.

No different from Marseille, Monaco today also threw away the opportunity to continue to be able to pressure PSG by winning a 0-0 draw against Reims.
This is, why I always say that the mentality possessed by PSG rival teams in Ligue 1 is very bad, because it is not the difference in squad quality and finance that makes them slump, but not have the mentality and consistency to compete is actually the main reason for them cant to break PSG dominance so far, when PSG gets a series of negative results in the league, shouldn't that be an opportunity for Monaco and Marseille to get closer to PSG?
But in fact when the hope is open, they are also unable to take advantage of it and instead get negative results from the team they can actually beat.

An interesting match that will be presented this week is the match between Marseille vs LOSc, they are also competing at the top of the standings and their distance is only 3 points. Maseille will act as the host in this match and does not want to be defeated by their guests. However, LOSC did not come to lose, they came with a target of victory that they must get this week to be able to get closer in the competition. If they win this match, it is certain that their points will be the same as the points owned by Marseilla, that would be very good for them.

It's going to be the most important game of the weekend in the french Ligue1, Marseille are placed second with 30 points and Lille are currently occupying the fourth position with 27 points and both teams would be very careful not to be beaten so as to maintain their position on the table. Marseille stand a very good chance of winning this one since they would be playing at home, and perhaps they have a very good record at home this season and might end up stunning the visiting team, but for Lille, i think the best they can do is to opt for a draw against the home side, I think a draw would be a great result for them.

As expected, the match between Marseille and Lille ended in a draw. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. We probably all expected such a result. Neither Marseille nor Lille can be considered weak. Both teams are relatively strong this season. I watched this match. The match was very competitive. Both teams played a lot of attacking football. However, neither team could score more than one goal. However, I would say that Lille was a bit lucky. Lille equalized the match by scoring in the 87th minute of the match.

[Fara Chan]

Marseille played very well today but LOSC was also able to match Marseille game, even though they were ahead by 1 goal they were unable to create additional goal and maintained it until LOSC had the chance to make the score 1 - 1.
This was fierce match, there was disappointment behind this draw that made some people lose their bets when making Marseille as favorites, on the other hand Lirola red card and he was given suspension in the next few match.

It was very painful because as a result of the draw, now Marseille who is in second place in the standings has the same points as Monaco and is only four points away from the current leader of the standings, namely PSG. But if PSG can win again when facing Lyon in the next match in Ligue 1, of course PSG's advantage will continue to increase so that the draw experienced by Marseille when hosting Lille was really very painful for Marseille because the team could not reduce the points gap with PSG at this time.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Marseille and Monaco got draws on the same week which is great news for PSG. Marseille lost the chance of winning in the final moments though as the equalizer came by Lille. Monaco could have also won if they didn't waste so many opportunities against Reims. They should have won too because they are going to host PSG three days later. They might have turned it into an advantage. 

Tonight PSG are hosting Lyon. What do you say? Will PSG finish this draw streak in the league?



Lyon are in a better form recently. The odd gap is just too big though. Maybe just for fun I might make a parlay with surprise choices and add double chance on Lyon @3.40 too. 

Paris Saint Germain have drawn their last two league games. But they are still dominating the league. They will win the League 1 this year. But it seems like they won't win it as easily as in previous years. On the other hand, Lyon has 5 wins and 4 draws in their last 9 games. They are on a great streak. But so far they haven't played a team as good as Paris Saint Germain. I think Paris Saint Germain will win this match. But I like to bet on two teams to score in games like this. It makes it easier for me. It makes my choice easier.

Without having to work too hard, it will always be easy for PSG to dominate Ligue 1, because their competitors are not able to perform consistently. Marseille, who were expected to be able to enliven the competition for the trophy this season, failed to secure full points when hosting Lille, De Zerbi squad threw away the opportunity to stick close to PSG at the top of the standings. The draw was clearly disappointing even though it seemed fair for both teams. Most likely PSG will be able to beat Lyon, so that the standings will be formed with a difference of 7 points later. I am sure Luis Enrique will field his best squad, in order to get an additional 3 points to comfortably lead the standings.

Paris Saint Germain have drawn their last two league games. But they are still dominating the league. They will win the League 1 this year. But it seems like they won't win it as easily as in previous years. On the other hand, Lyon has 5 wins and 4 draws in their last 9 games. They are on a great streak. But so far they haven't played a team as good as Paris Saint Germain. I think Paris Saint Germain will win this match. But I like to bet on two teams to score in games like this. It makes it easier for me. It makes my choice easier.

Lyon is currently in 5th place in the standings, quite a distance from PSG who are at the top, as if indicating that their strengths are also different, but even so, PSG must be vigilant because it is possible for Lyon to provide a surprise considering that lately their performance has been quite stable in all competitions they have played.
I think if you look at the productivity of goals produced by both teams in the previous matches, a narrow score is likely to occur.

I cannot say it is as difficult as the previous years when I saw their direct rivals missing two points. Marseille should have won against Lille, they will regret receiving a late goal. For Monaco, the draw against Reims wasn't good either and no goal scored in that game..
Ligue 1 continues to impress us with its randomness and how the teams don't want to get the title then everyone start to blame PSG for killing the competition. There is no real competition when the top tier teams missed 15 points in 15 games vs 8 points missed by PSG in 14 matches..

[Jossque]

Two teams in the championship race failed to beat each other. Marseille drew 1-1 with Lille at home. Marseille managed to take the lead in the first half but unfortunately conceded a goal in the last minutes of the match.
Two teams battling for the top six failed to meet. Auxerre hosted Lens at home. Lens led 2-1 at half time but conceded a goal in the second half to leave the away side with 1 point. It was a pity for Lens that they couldn't win despite their dominant play throughout the match.
Monaco drew with Reims. They had a chance to close the gap in the championship race but failed to capitalize on it.

I think if you look at the productivity of goals produced by both teams in the previous matches, a narrow score is likely to occur.

Looking at PSG's starting XI today, I think coach Luis Enrique will experiment with his squad in today's match. PSG's attack today has Doue, Kang-In and Dembele. PSG's young player Desire DOue has not yet scored a goal in Ligue 1 for PSG. But Kang In's performance is quite good. He has scored 6 goals in Ligue 1.

Luis Enrique did not give players like Barcola, Asensio and Ramos a place in the starting XI today. Perhaps Enrique has a different plan. However, Lyon is not a weak team. PSG's past record in head-to-head matches against Lyon is very good. PSG has won four of the last 5 matches against Lyon. Hopefully PSG will not make any big mistakes in today's match. And will earn 3 points. PSG failed to win against Auxxere and Nantes in the last two matches. PSG will definitely try their best to earn 3 points in today's home match.

I don't think everyone blames PSG for dominating Ligue 1 too much because anyway, instead of blaming PSG it would be better to blame other teams who always fail to have consistent results. While PSG experienced a decline in performance with results that were not maximized in a row, but at the same time that the competing teams  at the top of the standings were also equally unsuccessful in obtaining three points in the matches played. Thus, no team in Ligue 1 really maximizes the momentum to be able to pose a serious threat to PSG at the top of the table.

After all, basically PSG is not entirely strong and not entirely good because of the evidence, PSG is still weak in the Champion League, at least it also proves that the team that has great dominance in Ligue 1 is not entirely perfect and the competition for trophies in Ligue 1 should still be interesting. But the truth is, no team has really managed to get better to compete with PSG at the top of the table.

Luis Enrique may not have given some of his key players a place in the starting XI. Even so, PSG has been performing well since the beginning of the match. Despite not winning the last two matches, PSG will leave the field with 3 points in today's match.

PSG took the lead in just 8 minutes of the match through Dembele's goal. And in the 14th minute of the match, Vitinha scored from a penalty. PSG was able to take a 2-0 lead before the 15th minute. On the other hand, I have not seen any attack from Lyon's players so far. Since Lyon is trailing by 2-0, it is impossible for Lyon to score points against PSG if they play defensively.

At the end of the first half, PSG is leading 2-1. You are right that Lyon is playing defensively today. But even then, Lyon managed to score one goal in the first half. Lyon scored the goal in the 40th minute of the match.

One of the reasons for PSG's inconsistent performance this season is their weak defense. Since PSG's opponents in Ligue 1 are not very strong, PSG does not concede many goals in Ligue 1. But the fact that PSG's defense is quite weak can be understood by looking at PSG's performance in the Champions League. Luis Enrique will have to work hard if he wants to strengthen this team. At the same time, he will have to add more talented players to strengthen the squad in the winter transfer window.

I think PSG has had a good performance in Ligue 1 this season especially because they are unbeaten until now. Their problem is in the Champions League because as we can see they really struggle to win games.

In today's home match, I think PSG will secure the win. They are already 2-1 ahead of Lyon and PSG also dominated this match. I am sure they will win it and will maintain their positive trend without losing. But somehow their performance was very poor in the Champions League with only collecting 7 points from 6 matches. Luis Enrique needs the right players to carry out his plans, but I don't think all the players currently available are bad.

It was very painful because as a result of the draw, now Marseille who is in second place in the standings has the same points as Monaco and is only four points away from the current leader of the standings, namely PSG. But if PSG can win again when facing Lyon in the next match in Ligue 1, of course PSG's advantage will continue to increase so that the draw experienced by Marseille when hosting Lille was really very painful for Marseille because the team could not reduce the points gap with PSG at this time.

I just watched for a moment between the Marseille vs Lille match, more precisely when Marseille took the lead in the 17th minute. Initially I thought Marseille would win over Lille, but in fact the match ended with a score of 1-1. Marseille should have been able to maintain their advantage with the match minutes almost ending, unfortunately Lille was able to equalize in the 87th minute. Only a few minutes left the match was over, unfortunately Marseille conceded and made the match end in a draw. What I wonder is that Marseille often gets red cards, De Zerbi should have been able to make his players avoid unnecessary things that would harm them. One more thing, Marseille needs a striker who can at least be relied on to be a finisher. The reason is, the center forwards they have cannot always be relied on to score goals. In this match both teams had to be satisfied with sharing points, fortunately Marseille is still in its position even though it has the same points as Monaco.  In another match, PSG is currently hosting Lyon, for the time being Paris Saint-germains is leading the score with a score of 2-1. If PSG manages to win this match, then they will widen the points gap from the team below them.

Lille are currently in good shape, so I knew the match was not going to be easy for Marseille, despite it being a Marseille home game. A draw was even what I was expecting from the match yesterday because Lille has been in great form recently. Even if Lille had won the game yesterday, I wouldn’t have been surprised because I know they are good.

Marseille are also in good form, and that is why they are in the position they are currently in. However, the truth about all the teams in this competition is that they lack consistency, which is why they always find it difficult to win the league. They might show great form at the beginning of the season, but toward the middle or end, they start messing up.So, I’m not expecting any team to win this season's league except PSG because they have everything needed to always deserve the title, and other teams don't have.

I think if you look at the productivity of goals produced by both teams in the previous matches, a narrow score is likely to occur.

PSG is far ahead and there's no grounds good enough for comparison between Lyon and them and I don't see PSG giving rooms for such grounds any soon actually because they are hoping to win the ligue 1 just incase they don't get to cling the champions League foe which they don't really see a chance at currently. having me levels of stability in few recent games isn't enough to feel they have got the consistency to make PSG panic about the league title, considering PSG has their squad intact and have no reason yet for any of their key players been absent.

[TelolettOm]

PSG took the lead in just 8 minutes of the match through Dembele's goal. And in the 14th minute of the match, Vitinha scored from a penalty. PSG was able to take a 2-0 lead before the 15th minute. On the other hand, I have not seen any attack from Lyon's players so far. Since Lyon is trailing by 2-0, it is impossible for Lyon to score points against PSG if they play defensively.

Finally, PSG was able to end the 15th matchday well, after two consecutive draws. PSG finally managed to beat Lyon with a score of 3-1 today. Dembele, Vitinha and also Ramos really did very well. Likewise, their defense is increasing. Even though there were several quite crucial attacks from Lyon, they managed to repel them and save them.

Paris Saint Germaine in my own opinion haven't been convincing this season but the truth is that no matter how inconsistent they seem to be, there's no other French team that can match their strength. Playing at home against Lyon yesterday was definitely going to be a home win for the French champions but what made the win more interesting for Paris Saint Germaine is that their closest rivals in the French league table Marseille and Monaco failed to win their games over the weekend. With the win against Lyon, PSG have now established a seven points difference at the top of the French league standings. I think it's very safe to say they'll win the league yet again this season.

[Phoenix Anka]

Marseille played very well today but LOSC was also able to match Marseille game, even though they were ahead by 1 goal they were unable to create additional goal and maintained it until LOSC had the chance to make the score 1 - 1.
This was fierce match, there was disappointment behind this draw that made some people lose their bets when making Marseille as favorites, on the other hand Lirola red card and he was given suspension in the next few match.

It was very painful because as a result of the draw, now Marseille who is in second place in the standings has the same points as Monaco and is only four points away from the current leader of the standings, namely PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain managed to beat Olympique Lyon. Thus, the expectations of Marseille and Monaco were not realized. Both teams thought that Paris Saint-Germain might lose points to Olympique Lyon. However, Paris Saint-Germain did not allow surprises and achieved a three-goal victory on its home field. With this victory, Paris Saint-Germain, which is undoubtedly the leader of the French league, also widened the points gap with the teams following it. The French will not allow surprises this year. What is important for them is the Champions League and they are currently below expectations in the Champions League. They will focus on advancing to the next round with the Playoffs in the Champions League.
