French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[SatoPrincess]

The stats from the first half of Monaco vs Rennes show that Monaco are dominating the game. Monaco have the home advantage over Rennes who are in fifteenth position on the table. If Monaco wins this game, they would move up to 3rd position. The score line is currently 1-1 draw. My prediction is a win for Monaco.

some very interesting game today

Paris Saint Germain - Reims

Today PSG will play against a weak opponent, so I expect a comfortable victory for PSG

Honestly PSG did very well in their champions league encounter against Man City and from how the game went it was written Manchester City all over it but PSG played like a team that wants all 3pt. Their spirit is very high in going against a very weak side like you said and I expect the game to be a very easy one with goals coming out from it. Even if these guys are not as good as we want them to be, talking about Reims it still doesn't mean they won't fight with all they have and I expect them to have more of the ball too after all PSG players are a little bit stressed out due to the game they played in the champions league, if I'm to predict the score line I'd go for a 4-1 for the host.

The victory over manchester city I think will also not have too much impact on their performance and mentality in the league, because even if they lose in the UCL they still have a greater chance of winning over reims in ligue 1, I don't see any chance for other teams this season to can beat PSG, because so far when other teams that are stronger such as marseille, monaco and Lille are not even able to force PSG just to draw in their matches, so it is useless for us to hope for reims which is currently ranked 13th, can to give PSG their first defeat this season, to be honest, maybe so far we have seen there are surprises that often occur in football where weak teams can beat strong teams, but for ligue 1, the possibility is very small to happen with the performance,consistency and quality possessed by PSG this season in ligue 1.

Hell of a game it was!    Monaco managed to beat Rennes by 3-2 home. But believe me it wasn't a very easy one. Despite the dominance by Monaco, Rennes fought back every time.

I wish I bet on BTTS & over 2.5 goals @2.06... The odds were amazing but I only predicted it instead of betting. Sometimes it makes one really frustrated when all your predictions win but you don't prefer to make a parlay out of them. Anyways, Monaco really needed it. A winless streak for 4 games was too much risky for their top 3 chance. I like their squad though. They have a potential for the 2nd position normally but consistency is everything. Marseille are much better than them about it these days.

I even missed Ligue 1 in my bet. It has good Odds, but unfortunately, you missed the bet for your good prediction.

Monaco got the win, but from what I saw they played quite open and brave. It paid off with 3 goals scored. But they also had to pay with 2 goals from Rennes. However, every strategy used will have gaps, fortunately, Monaco is better at scoring goals.

Finally the days where in 4 matches Monaco had difficulty winning today they proved their revival by defeating Rennes, maybe their victory factor yesterday in UCL increased the players' confidence again. I am quite happy because after all it is not interesting if the competition for the top 4 area is not tight, with this result Monaco is back in the competition.

It's okay buddy, you are not the only one who feels when the prediction is right but does not place it even though a little disappointed in the end there are still other matches waiting with equally profitable opportunities.

`

Monaco defenders really did a brilliant work against Aston Villa in the Champions League because i was literally thinking that Aston Villa can equalize the score but the defense line of Monaco was so solid and couldn't allow Aston Villa to score and the match ended 1:0. At first before the match started, i thought that Aston Villa will win Monaco but after watching the match and saw the energy in the Monaco team, i applauded them for that win because it wasn't really easy for them no win Aston Villa because Aston Villa has a moderate performance in the Champions league and was even above Monaco in the table but after Monaco won them, they now have 13 points each and stand in 9th and 10th position respectively in the league table. Monaco is also among the top four teams in the France ligue 1 even though the fourth position does not give an automatic spot in the Champions league but it is a very considerate position.

Monaco will play Rennes later on today and looking at the performance and statistics of both teams, Monaco stands a better chance of winning since they are welcoming Rennes to their home ground but i just hope that they should not feel tiresome as a result of fatigue from the match they played against Aston Villa in the Champions League.

I still find it hard to understand how Aston Villa became stuck. Monaco's defenders suffocated their attack; no room, no clean shoots. Salisu and Kehrer essentially lived in Villa's passing lanes. And you owe Adi Hutter credit for that; he has turned set pieces into a deadly weapon. Guys, when you're that good at corners and free kicks, it's hard for your opponents

Rennes now arrives, and they are no joke either. Still, Monaco's confidence is sky high. For a reason they sit top-four in Ligue 1 and have climbed to 13 points in Europe. Given Ben Seghir and Akliouche turning on the style, I'm all for seeing a hungry Monaco side push even more. The key? Do not let that tiredness overtake you. Rennes will be walking home empty-handed if Monaco maintains their sharpness and finishes their opportunities

Monaco certainly has the qualification to compete, at least for the UCL ticket position next season. because Monaco has lost some points, they must minimize their defeat in the next match. otherwise, they could be pushed aside.
as we see the competition in the standings is quite tight with the points obtained not much different, except for PSG who is currently leading. Monaco, Lille, and Nice may continue to compete for a better position. let's see who among them will be more consistent.

[xzone]

In a few minutes there will be a match between Auxerre vs St Etienne, both are promoted teams but St Etienne is in the relegation zone at the moment and for Auxerre is in 11th place. They have a gap of five points and also, these two teams both have better results  for home games than away games. Thus, Auxerre will have a better chance of winning but even so, I sure St Etienne will also  play well because basically St Etienne still has a good chance to get out of the relegation zone. Therefore, although Auxerre has a good chance of winning, it will certainly not be easy because it is possible that thismatch will end in a draw.

It was a difficult match for both teams, it is not easy to get out of the relegation zone, but the fact that the match ended in a draw was a good result for Saint-Étienne. When we come to the last weeks of the league, they will see how valuable the 1 point they earned this week is. Maybe, thanks to this 1 point, they will manage to stay in this league for another year.
Earning points from your opponents who are not very strong is more valuable than in normal matches. They are your real competitors, the fact that they do not gain points is a benefit for you

At the time I write this post, PSG is having difficulty scoring goals and has only managed to score 1 goal and conceded 1 goal. The game is tied and I have no hope of seeing PSG coming out of this game with a victory.

some very interesting games today

Monaco - Rennes

although these two teams are in very different positions in the table, with Monaco occupying position number 4 while Rennes occupies position number 15, both teams have something in common, which is the fact that in the last 5 games both teams have had only one victory and taking into account that Monaco in these last 5 games lost in a game against the worst team in Ligue 1, I would not rule out the possibility of Monaco drawing or even losing in today's game against Rennes

Even so, Monaco faces this match with high confidence after successfully beating Aston Villa in the UCL League. So I think this will also be Monaco's moment to stop their slump in the league and improve the standings. In addition, Rennes' performance in away games is also not special this season, they have difficulty getting points, especially against Monaco who have better team depth than them and have a solid game from the midfield and sharp attacks. So my prediction is that AS Monaco can beat Rennes with a final score of 3-1 in this match.

Paris Saint Germain - Reims

Today PSG will play against a weak opponent, so I expect a comfortable victory for PSG

Yes. I am also sure that this will be an easy opponent for PSG. Not without reason, PSG cannot lose against a weak team after achieving a sensational victory in the UCL League, even though they were behind, PSG won with an extraordinary comeback. So in this match I think PSG will win comfortably, even will achieve a landslide victory especially since this match is played at home.

Monaco won, but it was a game in which they conceded 2 goals, even though they were playing against an opponent who has been losing a lot. Honestly, Monaco haven't been doing well in Ligue 1 in recent games, they are lucky to be in 3rd place.

About the PSG game, they are tied at the moment I write this post and I can see that the game will end in a draw. PSG is lucky that in Ligue 1 they have weak teams, that's why they always win the league.

[Weawant]

Sometimes a team does have the luck to win a match, like it or not, it happens a lot. And regarding Monaco, I think there will be many who have that kind of thinking that they won with luck. That's not wrong, because that kind of fact happens a lot, especially when looking at the course of the match, it actually favors the opponent if we talk about who played more pressingly.
A team has its own strategy, whether it's from a dead ball or from the game in progress, that's fine. Like Arsenal, who this season have created many goals from their corner kick scheme which is very effective for them to take advantage of.

Very correct,  but hard to believe by some persons,  they do thiits just about  the technicalities when it has to do with team performance and fail to believe that sometimes even on the pitch the teams does needs luck to win certain games and that is why on a very unlucky day, they try everything possible and still not get goals, sometimes they have their shoots hitting the bars repeatedly and it feels like they would want the bars adjusted so they can get a goal at least and this is most common when a big team is playing against a weak side supposed to be a small team. Just like this evening,  Arsenal played against Wolverhampton,  a relatively weak team this season and all they could get was a goal meanwhile against bigger teams, Arsenal do get more goals, luck is actually a factor sometimes.

Auxerre put up an impressive and surprising result against St Etienne yesterday. Despite the fact that Etienne were dominant in the game holding possession of the ball more Auxerre managed to create more chances and recorded more shots in the game. At some point I was expecting a goal from the home team to win because they made good advances and created more chances in the game, I guess Etienne were lucky to not have conceded another goal because it would have been difficult to come back from that.

PSG is attacking the whole match, but could not win, and even missed almost immediately after scoring a goal to the opponent, it is unusual to see such a thing, but I think the main thing is that they did not lose and did not lose all the points at all. And a draw is like that, it happens to everyone, especially they have a good series, I do not see anything terrible in the fact that they played a draw

[Docnaster]

After defeating Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week, many of us predicted and even staked a Paris Saint Germaine win today in their French Ligue 1 home game against Reims but because the French champions this season have been very inconsistent with their results, they still ended up not getting a win in the game. Luis Enrique I don't think know is the right man to help the league leaders achieve their biggest dream and if not that the other French clubs aren't as consistent as they should be, I don't think Paris Saint Germaine would go and win the league this season. Very disappointing result against Reims from the Paris based club if you ask me

[SatoPrincess]

Marseille is second-best club in French League but due to their inconsistency they are not able to keep their momentum and having terrible last season, but now they are back with few good changes currently they are having good chance of ending at second spot.

Biggest problems in this league is funds; mostly clubs are having no luxurious sources like PSG just because of this not club able to challenge them for title race investment needs good attraction but here nothing is like few other leagues are bringing stability and competitiveness if organizers able to attack investors these clubs can go much better. In this season, Brest is worst in league, but their performance in Champions League is impressive, and they are going into next round which is the biggest success for them while PSG struggling in Champions League.

Marseille have shown good improvement this season but still a bit short on consistency level so far. They are currently none points below the league leaders PSG and will take consistency to catch up with PSG who have been in flying form this season, they are yet to record a loss in the league this season. It’s crazy how PSG are the ones battling for survival in the champions league, hopefully their win against Manchester City should boost their mentality and morale for the next champions qualification game.

You should have gone through their stats before concluding in given PSG a straight win against Stade De Reims because they have been a tough opposition for PSG for long. In their last three matches PSG won just once, and they drew their last two games, and a draw again today which was not surprising due how inconsistent PSG has been so far this season.

However, having a credible performance in the Champions League against Manchester City is a good reason to win this match with much goals in the game, but Luiz Enrique’s side wasn’t able to take the three points. I don’t think Enrique will last long as a PSG manager because if he will be eliminated in the Champions League group stage, I think the management will be looking for his successor because I know that they are tired of winning the League1, they need to lug Champions League which is the main reason they are signing some experience coaches and players.

Wait a minute, we should not be too quick to blame the PSG coach and here I am not defending anyone but just thinking more positively. We can see that PSG has just had Kvaratskhelia. While other players and new players need time to adapt. On the one hand, PSG is currently losing a temporary player who was loaned to Juventus (Kolo Muani) who had been PSG's mainstay. Well, while the points owned by PSG are very safe and it is impossible for other teams below PSG to catch up. So there is nothing wrong with Enrique providing a strategy not to force players to work too hard to get a winning score in the match because maintaining the physical condition of the players and also PSG's position is very safe.

[Pokapoka124]

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.

It's good to see them playing more intentionally this season. Irrespective of their fine run of form in the league, I don't think they can be able to match PSG toe to toe due to the significant lesser squad depth and quality of players or their team compared to that if PSG. It would be really nice to see them finish strongly this season and make sure they sign good players with proven track record of success to their squad so they can be able to compete very strongly against anybody in the league one next season.

10 points is their distance from Paris Saint Germain now, assuming they can win in the 19th match against Nice today, then their points distance is 7 points. 7 points is also quite a distance to be able to catch up with Paris Saint Germain, so Marseille also needs a little luck to be able to catch up with Paris Saint Germain.
Apart from all that, their performance is quite good, but don't let them be satisfied with what they have now, because their distance from the club in 3rd position is also 3 points, so it is still very risky for them to be shifted from the runner-up position.

Winning the Ligue 1 title is not a difficult task for PSG. PSG can easily dominate Ligue 1. Because the Ligue 1 teams are far behind PSG. At the beginning of the season, we thought that Monaco and Marseille might compete for the title. But gradually these two teams have fallen behind in the title race. PSG is still 10 points ahead of Marseille.

I think Luis Enrique's target now is to qualify for the Champions League playoffs. In the last match of the Champions League, we saw that PSG players performed well even against strong teams like Manchester City.

There were indeed many people who were disappointed with the draw because maybe the bettors preferred a win for PSG before the match started, but in the end it turned out to be a draw and it has become a disappointment for their own fans and for those who backed PSG to win at home in the match. And on the one hand, I also quite agree with what you said that if there is a team that can play more consistently in Ligue 1, of course PSG will not be able to experience better results in Ligue 1.
