French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[LUCKMCFLY]

Paris Saint-Germain are only gigantic and competitive when it comes to Ligue One, thereby ruling out all oppositions because they're the best team. Who's willing to take that risk to buy a club and reinforce its financial structure with good bidding? This is investment and its either skyrocketing or liquidating because football doesn't always gives one what he or she decides, however applying such idea is welcomeable.

For me things are much improved for PSG, PSG have not only done a good job in Ligue 1 but also in the UCL, yesterday they beat City who are doing things very well, however this is giving them a great oxygenation, in fact Luis Enrique's celebration was epic, I think they really did very well, 4-2 was really good, I didn't see it in full, just in pieces, I only saw for a moment that it was 2-2, after that the totris 2 goals was something great. Pep is very bad, poor man.

But the simple truth is that a lot of Pep Guardiola’s men appear to consider their efforts and achievements of previous seasons grand enough to warrant a year off. It is as if they reckon all those titles have been such a tough slog that they have earned a sabbatical. Or, more pertinently, that they need a sabbatical. Few were busting a gut in Paris, that is for sure.

Yes they performed very well in that match and managed to win that match. In fact, Paris Saint-Germain team has proven time and again that they are very strong in this league. In the match they played against Lens, they managed to win 2-1. But we saw another amazing performance from them today as they managed to defeat Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League match. We thought they can only perform well in League One but that was wrong they are capable of performing well in all leagues now. PSG had a very attacking performance after halftime against Manchester City, they scored four goals in that time. Perhaps this great victory will boost the confidence of all the PSG club players even more.

In as much as I recognise the brilliance in the performance they had that got them all of the wins and even had them looking like a better side, I don't still want to be swade  by that because I believe  they aren't just so good yet, they probably  just got lucky against city because even city did played so well, I will fall on the side of PSG if they show consistency in the Champions League here after,  otherwise they are still like an average in the Champions league but a domestic champion in the ligue 1.

[Lida93]

Monaco just won in the 7th match of the Champions League when facing Aston Villa, they won with a narrow score, yes that was the only goal they could create. They still have a chance to qualify directly to the last 16, as long as they can win and hope that the club above them achieves something negative so they lose points. Their problem is consistency, in Ligue 1 alone they have not been consistent, we can see from their last 5 matches in Ligue 1 which only managed to achieve 1 win. Actually they can still be more consistent, as long as they can find the main problem that can make them inconsistent like now.

Monaco's performance this season is quite commendable both in the domestic league and in the champions league, they made it their 7th win against Aston villa who also have been competing favourably in this competition and has also won some important games too but against Monaco they couldn't fly as Monaco proved very difficult for the English side.

Monaco are currently in 10th position at the moment and are already through to the next round which it would be a great achievement for the French side because it has been a long time since they got to this stage of the competition and the best they done in recent times is playing in the finals against Porto in 2004.

We saw another PSG in yesterday's game against Manchester City. It was just a splendid performance, coming from two goals down to win such an important game. Saying they won the game because of luck is underrating them and underrating thier hard work. I wouldn't also say that the Ligue One side are now favourites to win the UEFA Champions League because of this win because the club they won is having a bad time in the English Premier League.

PSG's next game will be a big test. VfB Stuttgart is a strong side and the German side with be at home in MHP Arena. They have won three straight matches in the Bundesliga showing that they are in form. Both teams are struggling to qualify for the playoffs.

They have indeed performed quite well this season, but it is very unfortunate that in their last few matches they have lost consistency which has caused their position in the standings to start to decline. At least in their last 5 matches in the French League 1, AS Monaco have only been able to collect 5 points, with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Meanwhile, regarding their performance in the UCL, they have indeed performed quite well compared to the other 3 teams, namely LOSC Lille, Brest, and PSG. But AS Monaco still need one more win to allow them to qualify for the last 16 without having to go through to the playoffs first.

It is likely that of the 4 clubs representing the French league in the UCL, they will all advance to the playoffs, and so will PSG who were previously almost eliminated early in the preliminary round.

We agree, the fact is that Manchester City is indeed in a very messy transition phase of declining performance. let's discuss Manchester City first, since some of their players were injured, whether defenders or other players, City has conceded more often. as for PSG, they usually have difficulty scoring many goals in their matches. but at least by winning the match against City, the motivation of PSG players is getting bigger to qualify even though they have to go through the playoffs. besides, PSG actually often dominates the course of the match when competing in the Champions League. like the match against City for example, they controlled more possession of the ball and also tried a lot of shots and in this match PSG performed quite well by scoring many goals. well, let's just see one remaining match against Stuttgart. the match will be held at Stuttgart's home ground, will PSG be able to continue to show good performance in the away game, it's interesting for us to wait.

[Slow death]

I never understood the PSG situation. I mean look at Premier league, yeah sure City is owned by rich people, but so does most other teams, City isn't the only one. Why is PSG owned by super rich people and no other team can compete with them? Why does no other rich person just wants to buy a club at France and make them compete with PSG?

If PSG can be owned by wealthy people and spend bunch of money, that means legally other teams can do the same thing, but for some reason other teams are not getting that. I get that France isn't really lovely in football sense, its the famous "farmers" league, but if any wealthy person ended up buying a team and make them champions over PSG, that clubs worth would go up too, so its not just a fun thing to own a club, but it would be financially great idea too.

In my opinion, the French Ligue 1 clubs, with the exception of PSG, do not want to be bought. When you have greedy managers who do not want to give up power, they would not accept selling the club and losing their jobs. There are many cases of people, mainly football players, who have bought third division clubs, but there are few cases, I would venture to say rare cases in which a first division club has been sold. This does not happen very often because the members of these first division clubs live based on the money they earn thanks to the club, that is their biggest source of income, which is why they will not sell.

PSG managed to make many people speechless, they managed to break many predictions, and they showed everyone that they also deserved to win. We knew before the match started that Man City was more favored, and surprisingly Enrique squad managed to secure full points. Of course, the additional three points were achieved thanks to hard work, not just luck. Therefore, to be fair, I think we should also appreciate their success. PSG next match against Stuttgart will be the final decider for the next step, and it will clearly be difficult for both teams. However, on paper, beating Stuttgart is a little easier than beating Man City, and I predict that PSG will be able to maintain their consistency.

[hahay]

After four games without a win, will Monaco win the next Ligue 1 match or not? Because after all, in the previous match Monaco also lost to a team at the bottom of the standings, Monaco lost 2-1 to Montpellier. For the next match Monaco will still play against a team in the lower zone of the standings, but basically Rennes may not be a completely bad team. But indeed, so far this season Rennes also has no wins for away games, that will be a factor for Monaco to be able  to beat Rennes, because Monaco will also play at home.

But even so, the odds for Monaco are still quite high with some of that considerations, because if Monaco is very favored to win then the odds for Monaco should be @1.3x or maybe even lower like 1.2x. But after all, the odds for Monaco are in the range of @1.73,  and I think it's a shame to miss  this good chance to bet.

Monaco football team performance was quite well in the last match and that team won the match at the end  and that was a match of UEFA Champions League. Monaco football team did 1 goal in this match and Aston Villa football team could not do any goal in this match and match was ended with 1-0. Both teams are of equal standard but that was day of Aston Villa team because both teams have same points on the table. Aston Villa has 13 points on the table and Monaco team also have 13 points on the table. Singo was that only person who did goal in this match and he did goal at the start of match and after this no player could do goal in this match . The stats of that Aston Villa team was not bad because their possession percentage was 61 percent.

Very interesting to watch. AS Monaco played quite well in this match, they managed to win with a score of 1-0 over Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League. It was not easy for Monaco to score more goals as well as Aston Villa, both of them defended each other and countered attacks. Mastery Aston Villa dominated the ball, not only did they try to disrupt the opponent's defense, but hopes of scoring a goal were in vain. In the first half, AS Monaco also saw AS Monaco attack through the opponent's defense. Finally, Singo scored a goal for Monaco to win and become the best of the match. Did As Monaco will also win the next match in the French League?

Did As Monaco will also win the next match in the French League?

Back to me this game was boring in the first half only Singo's goal in the 8th minute ended this game there was no good effort from both teams in the first half they just played the ball a lot in the middle no one penetrated because both teams played quite carefully, the second half Monaco's defense was more effective so Aston Villa didn't have many chances and this was also a victory for Monaco after 4 previous matches without a win, in my opinion they played defensively there was no other way because Monaco in several previous matches were quite easy to concede the ball and in this Champions match they came out of a bad game and in my opinion it is reasonable for the coach to apply this system to protect his team from defeat after defeat.

Monaco dropped to 4th place in the Ligue 1 standings and in this week's match Monaco will face Rennais and if you look at their meeting statistics Monaco should be able to win the match, because Rennais is currently below and has never won an away match so far in Ligue 1, and in my opinion with a narrow win against Aston Villa Monaco can get out of their bad zone and compete again to be in the best position in Ligue 1.

[tygeade]

Monaco last match in the Champions League was not easy because they had to face Intermilan, but I think they still have the potential to beat Intermilan if you look at Intermilan performance when beating Sparta in the yesterday match, but even so I think the victory over Aston Villa has at least guaranteed their place in the playoffs, Monaco has been very inconsistent when playing in Ligue 1 this season.  But actually their performance looks impressive when playing in the Champions League, so we can't say they are difficult to beat Intermilan when they can conquer Aston Villa and Barcelona this season, although it may be difficult still they will aim for 3 points in the next match, especially their chances of entering the top 8 are still wide open, because some of the teams above them will also actually face a difficult match in the last match of the semi-league phase.

I believe it is not really that much important for them. Even if they lose to Inter, they are going to be in top 24 and that's the most important part, if they can do that then they are going to end up with a good result enough to just focus on whatever they can do, depends on who they play against there, they could go to last sixteen.

Monaco isn't a team that is expected to do that much great, we are talking about a team that is doing different, they are only interested in keep doing this for over course of long time. If they can finish top four at ligue 1, and keep being in top 24 every season for the next few seasons, then the money they would get is enough to get better and better. But right now? They are not really good enough to be considered at a high level, so failing to go beyond top 24 is understandable.

Did As Monaco will also win the next match in the French League?

I really appreciate their hard work to win this match, because after all the team they beat was not a team that can be underestimated, but they managed to maintain the advantage they managed to score at the beginning of the first half. Looking at their chances now, then they can be sure that they will be in the play-off round, and even if they are lucky enough they can automatically qualify for the round of 16, with the note that they must win in the last match and also there must be a defeat received by one of the teams in the top 8 at this time.

[Moreno233]

Yes they performed very well in that match and managed to win that match. In fact, Paris Saint-Germain team has proven time and again that they are very strong in this league. In the match they played against Lens, they managed to win 2-1. But we saw another amazing performance from them today as they managed to defeat Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League match. We thought they can only perform well in League One but that was wrong they are capable of performing well in all leagues now. PSG had a very attacking performance after halftime against Manchester City, they scored four goals in that time. Perhaps this great victory will boost the confidence of all the PSG club players even more.

In as much as I recognise the brilliance in the performance they had that got them all of the wins and even had them looking like a better side, I don't still want to be swade  by that because I believe  they aren't just so good yet, they probably  just got lucky against city because even city did played so well, I will fall on the side of PSG if they show consistency in the Champions League here after,  otherwise they are still like an average in the Champions league but a domestic champion in the ligue 1.

We saw another PSG in yesterday's game against Manchester City. It was just a splendid performance, coming from two goals down to win such an important game. Saying they won the game because of luck is underrating them and underrating thier hard work. I wouldn't also say that the Ligue One side are now favourites to win the UEFA Champions League because of this win because the club they won is having a bad time in the English Premier League.

PSG's next game will be a big test. VfB Stuttgart is a strong side and the German side with be at home in MHP Arena. They have won three straight matches in the Bundesliga showing that they are in form. Both teams are struggling to qualify for the playoffs.

PSG actually played very well against Manchester City but I did not consider them that sophisticated in that match. What happened was that the met a weaker team, that was why they appeared all perfect and you will agree with me that Manchester City are in their weakest point now but assuming it was a club like Liverpool that played PSG, I am sure you would have had a different opinion. Despite this, a win is a win so PSG should celebrate the win and the hope of qualifying for the play-off.

Currently PSG managed to increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs after beating Manchester City, but even so, their current position is still very vulnerable considering they are ranked 22nd which could be eliminated if they fail to maximise their last match against Stuttgart, PSG's victory over Manchester City cannot be denied if there is a lucky factor, because indeed the condition of Manchester City is currently slumping and if Manchester City are in their best condition like the previous season, of course the chances of PSG beating them are very unlikely to happen, PSG might qualify for the playoffs but I think it is difficult for them to be able to go further this season apart from the last 16 phase.

I see a very big potential that Monaco has, it's just that it's hampered by several obstacles that finally make them look different from usual.
Specifically talking about them in Ligue 1, they should also be able to be the main competitor for Paris Saint Germain, but it's a shame when they can't use what they have to do that. However, in the future if they can continue to improve, then I can be sure they will be able to be the main threat to Paris Saint Germain.
They may have to look for fresh cash injections so that they can bring in players who can make their squad more even.

[ancafe]

Marseille are growing but they are still not strong and stable enough to challenge PSG for Ligue 1 title. They will try to do it in this season but I see they don't have too good opportunity to do that with domination of PSG in the French domestic league. They can use this season as a trial and come back to challenge PSG again next season more seriously.

That's the reason they are struggling to match PSG's strength and even though Marseille are improving well the chance of getting the champion's gallery is very small. After getting quite satisfactory results in the Champions League and successfully beating Manchester City, the morale of PSG players will definitely be better and this will have a significant impact on the process of the League's journey going forward.

I'm not so sure next season Marseille will get the same moment as this season because the habit of teams like that is usually not able to maintain the same performance for the next season like some of the teams that challenged PSG last season.

But after all, the odds for Monaco are in the range of @1.73,  and I think it's a shame to miss  this good chance to bet.

Looking at the recent results, both teams have experienced a decline in performance and Manaco is favored with odds @1.7+ because there is still a chance of winning or drawing in the match. We can see that Rennes, even though they are below Monaco, have attackers who can put pressure on Monaco's defense. On the one hand, if you look at H2H, Monaco's chances are actually a little more convincing when playing at home. But I speculate that this match will end under 3.

So there are several options for this match. BTTS and under 3.25 are comfortable choices. But if you want to take a bigger risk, you can choose Rennes over 1.5 with odds @3+

Very reasonable, I also thought that PSG would not be able to defeat Manchester City. we can trace their matches in the Champions League, the match against Girona, PSG struggled to win, lost against Arsenal, drew against PSV, lost again against ATM, Bayern Munich, then won against RB Salzburg. when the match against City, PSG fell behind 2-0. I thought PSG was finished, but what was worse was that Pep Guardiola's team conceded 4 goals after that. I don't think many would have thought that Manchester's performance was really chaotic, their defense line could not block the attacks launched by Paris Saint-Germains. but it cannot be denied that Luis Enrique's team continued to work hard to continue not to give up, starting from Dembele's goal to other goals being created. it is truly hard work that deserves to be appreciated, but it cannot be denied that Manchester United's performance is indeed chaotic. as i said, the problem for PSG is their center forward, if Dembele or Barcola did not play impressively, maybe the result would be different. well, this is football full of interesting things. let's see the next match, this match is important and also an away match. can Luis Enrique's team secure the victory, the answer we will know later.
