French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Odohu]

Paris Saint-Germain is the main contender for the Ligue One this season. They've been the most dedicating club for decades and the league is formally called farmer's league. Luis Enrique is not even showing concerned for ligue one because he's confident with the performance of his club. They've been in close range for the UEFA Champions League. They've other targets but UCL is main priority fir the club. Les Parisiens will continue to dominate and thrash oppositions.

This is what makes Ligue 1 not so interesting because only PSG is the only strong team that always dominates the League. Even the arrival of Luis Enrique to PSG did not make it difficult at all because they do have the strength to continue to dominate the League. Now talking about the Champions League is their big hope and it is a difficult struggle that they have not been able to achieve.

There is almost no team there that can beat PSG and they are so comfortable to play consistently for a long time. This shows how uncompetitive this league is and not many clubs have the ability to match PSG.

Honestly, I'm also wondering why PSG have to dominate the league every year because this really make the league boring and uninteresting. Even though we have similar thing in Spanish La Liga, we still have Barcelona and Real Madrid dominating it and not just one club. In the ongoing Europa and UCL, French did very well but I wonder why they don't do so much when PSG is involved. I was thinking that Monaco and Marseille would be able to challenge PSG this season but it did not take time for them to chicken put.

Now talking about the Champions League is their big hope and it is a difficult struggle that they have not been able to achieve.

The reason is because there is no adequate competition from rival clubs. Among the top 5 European leagues, only Ligue 1 is the most boring, just imagine, PSG could have secured themselves as Ligue 1 champions in the 27th week if they managed to win over St-Etienne, while their closest rivals (Marseille) lost and (Monaco) at least got a draw.
If that scenario occurs, PSG can secure the title when there are still 7 matches left in the competition, Marseille and Monaco will no longer be able to shift PSG.

Many people say the same thing that Ligue 1 is indeed boring because there is practically only 1 team that is very superior so they can easily claim the title. They can comfortably dominate Ligue 1 without any pressure from other teams, if there is pressure, it is usually only at the beginning and in the end Paris Saint Germain is still the strongest. One of the things that causes this to happen is because other teams do not have financial capabilities, there is no team that is very good financially other than Paris Saint Germain and finally it creates a big gap between Paris Saint Germain and other teams.

 It's the inconsistency of the other teams that makes PSG look like a very strong club. Take for instance, Lyon's game against Strasbourg where they lost 4-2. Seriously with the efforts made by Lyon I kept feeling that they had the three points in the bag and their hosts won't have a say in it and that's how it would have been but second half came in and we saw a different Strasbourg and truly Lyon didn't anticipate this and started making mistakes.
 Teams like them are the ones to give PSG headache but if they can't handle lesser clubs like Strasbourg is it PSG they will be able to fight against?
 I'm also tired of PSG carrying their league season to season but it's not their fault because they are yet to see a worthy competition. Its a club like PSG that an average coach will manage and still carry the title that would make him look as if he did a big job.
PSG have created respect for themselves in this season's champions league and I feel they will want more but what determines if they will go to the next round is hardwork, resilience and if the teams they will face keep underestimating them.

I think Lyon can still be the favorite. But I really can't predict which team will win the match. I mean it's really going to be a tight match. Both teams are in good form. Lyon is definitely the favorite. But Strasbourg come with a lot of confidence after getting points from Marseille and Lille. So there's no reason for them to be afraid of Lyon.

The match is over & it's won by Strasbourg, they made it. When watching the match, I felt that the match would end with few goals, because in the first half both teams couldn't score a single goal. But then in the second half a surprise happened, a total of 6 goals were scored.

To be honest, I didn't expect Strasbourg to win, because they were actually under constant pressure from Lyon, we could see that from the possession of the ball that both teams had. Congrats to anyone who bet on Strasbourg to win, those were great odds & you deserved it for your bravery.

Oh too bad I didn't bet, I forgot that the matches in league 1 run faster than other competitions, it's okay because there is a possibility that I will lose if I bet on their matches.   Luckily I checked this thread and checked the betting exchange, today there are 3 good matches that can be included in the parlay, Marseille, PSG and Monaco matches with total odds of 6.97, anyone tempted? I am quite sure that these 3 teams today can get full points from their respective opponents.

The odds are pretty good, but what we might get a surprise is the Monaco vs Nice match. For some reason, I'm not too sure Monaco will win with a good score in that match. Maybe they will also have a hard time winning the match. The last meeting between the two was a 2-1 Nice victory. Even if Monaco gets the advantage, I think the match will still be tight. Nice might not be easy to beat.

Today in France Ligue 1 Monaco - Nice, Saint Etienne - Paris Saint Germain, Reims - Marseille matches will be played. I will prefer to follow Saint Etienne - Paris Saint Germain match. Actually I was planning to watch this match. But Galatasaray - Beşiktaş match will be played at the same time. I will watch my team's match. Paris Saint Germain have turned into a great team this season under Luis Enrique. They are undefeated in the French Ligue 1. And they have a very high chance of finishing the league undefeated. They've qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They're playing great football this season. Saint Etienne are in the relegation zone. And according to the statistics, they haven't won in their last 9 league matches. There's no doubt that Paris Saint Germain will win this match.

In terms of competition for trophies every season, it is very clear that Ligue1 is a bit boring because no team is able to stop PSG's progress and strength in this competition. While in other leagues, the competition for points between one team and another in the top four zone always looks fierce until the end of the season. And for the scenario you mentioned, I don't think it will be impossible to happen because St-Etienne is not an opponent who can beat PSG this season. But for the other two teams like Marseille and Monaco, I can't predict whether they will experience slightly different results, or maybe they will experience the conditions you mentioned.

After the break two big games both have surprising results with last night Strasbourg stun Lyon with the score of 4–2 and extend their winning streak with 4 matches while right now struggling Reims completely outclass second spotted Marseille in one-sided affair with the score of 3–0.

Nakamura score in 30th minute after this Reims controlling all game and not allowing Marseille and their attack for having anything in this game with this defeat things can be gone wrong for visitors as well because now situation is interesting, and many teams are trying to secure their spots at the top of league table.
After few minutes relegation side St Etienne hosting PSG with after few hours big game Monaco is hosting Nice as both are looking for second spot in league table.

Ligue 1 matches are not important for PSG. PSG is sure to win the Ligue 1 title. PSG is ahead of Marseille in the second place in the points table by a huge margin of 19 points. Marseille's performance is now erratic. It is impossible for Marseille to reduce this gap to 19 points from 7 matches. So if PSG loses all the next matches, PSG will be the champions of Ligue 1.



PSG conceded a goal in the 9th minute against Saint Etienne, who is in the relegation zone. The team is still 1-0 behind in the match after 25 minutes. Luis Enrique is playing with his second-string squad today. Dembele, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Donnarumma and Lee Kang are not in the starting XI. Luis Enrique has rested the players. PSG will probably be happy with a draw. So far, PSG's overall gameplay has been quite slow.

PSG has made it 1:1 before the first half mark this game is going to produce a lot of goals because am really impressed with the way that st Etienne is playing the game I was thinking that PSG to put up a dominant performance in this game by scoring early in the game but to my surprise it was the home team that got the opener putting PSG in pressure, but the second will be a different ball game entirely because it's going to decides the fate of the game if actually one of the teams is going to win am expecting more goals from this game going into the second half

The match ended 1-1 at the end of the first half. PSG performed well in the last 20 minutes of the first half. PSG increased the pace of attack. However, PSG scored their only goal in the first half from a penalty. Ramos scored the goal in the 43rd minute of the match. However, in the second half we will definitely see the dominance of PSG players. PSG will try to win against Saint Etienne. Because Etienne is a weak team. The team is in the relegation zone. PSG will not want to lose against such a team.

Definitely great odds, specially helped by Monaco, which is nearly at two, so that one did make every other easier. But looking at the risk, I am not sure if it is worth it, maybe you could just play all of them separately and that would be better. All three teams winning could happen, I am just not so sure about it, and I can't really see if this could be possible.

If you really want to take a risk, the odds are great and I have to be honest and say that it does look like it worths it with such odds, I wouldn't bet on it but I can see why someone would see nearly 7 odds for these three teams and want to bet on it, that sort of makes sense at the moment. PSG part is guaranteed nearly, it is Monaco and Marseille that I am worried.

[Agbe]

PSG this season has been spectacular to watch because PSG has made it 1:4 away from home against st Etienne this was the kind of performance that I was really expecting from PSG from the first half of the but it seems that they left it late I think PSG is one of the favorite going into the champions League because the way and manner that they play is just wonderful, am expecting more goals from this game because PSG can make it 1:5 or even more it's obvious that for the ligue 1 this season PSG won the league because I don't see any team that will be of a serious threat to PSG this season

Easypeasy for PSG, initially I didn't play this game but after Saint Etienne scored, I went to play PSG straight win because I knew that they were going to win at the end even if they were 2 - 0 down that's how insane PSG is this season the league. I have that confidence that they will comeback and win the game before Full time. First half ended 1 - 1 and right now the game score line is 1 - 5 79 minutes in favour of the visitors. That's how PSG has turned the game around in the second half. The really mean to finish this season unbeaten and if they achieve this, it will definitely be the first in the league.

Now the score is 1:6 in favor of PSG and Saint-Etienne has no chance to win back, because on shots on goal PSG leads 9:2 and scored almost all players of PSG attack: Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Mbaye scored a goal, and Doue made a double. A great match for PSG and that's why bookmakers gave a very modest odds of 1.22 on PSG victory, but still probably such a crushing score few expected, because Saint-Etienne played this match at home.

It's quite unfortunate, despite Saint Etienne to have scored the first goal of the match at 9 minutes by Stassin, P.S.G was able to equalize before the end of the first half, and now in second half have been able to score 4 extra goals by kvaratskhelia, Neves and Doue who scored brace. Hence, making it 5 goals already which P.S.G has scored against Saint Etienne now at 70 minutes already into the game, as it's undoubtedly, P.G.S is dominating the ball possession and shots on target, which clearly shows P.S.G is likely to score more extra 2 or more goals before the end of this match.

PSG turned their League 1 matches into training matches. The squad they have established is far above the league. They can score as many goals as they want against any team in League 1.
They scored 6 goals against St. Etienne today.
With the result of this match, they won the League 1 championship.
I don't know if there has been another team that has become champion in such a short time.
Luis Enrique's team has really become a winner.

[Hyphen(-)]

Now the score is 1:6 in favor of PSG and Saint-Etienne has no chance to win back, because on shots on goal PSG leads 9:2 and scored almost all players of PSG attack: Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Mbaye scored a goal, and Due made a double. A great match for PSG and that's why bookmakers gave a very modest odds of 1.22 on PSG victory, but still probably such a crushing score few expected, because Saint-Etienne played this match at home.

PSG’s dominance in the League1 is beyond control, they are above every other team in the league 1 because they have given almost 25 points gap between them and the team in the second place; the main battle in the League1 is the battle of the Champions League qualification against next season, but for the league one champions, I think PSG has already win the title because no team is close to compete against them for the title even the Monaco that started the season well has now been overtaken by Marseille and today, Marseille lost again today which means they can’t also compete against PSG this season.
It’s time for League teams to be serious because PSG’s leadership in the league is much and they really need to buy more quality players in their squad so that they can compete against PSG in the league 1 next season.

[ingiltere]

Another impressive win for PSG. Saint-Etienne are in the relegation zone and in a bad position, but that doesn't overshadow a magnificent 6-goal win. PSG are showing that they are one of the fittest teams in the world. Luis Enrique is showing his game intelligence.
The first half ended 1-1, PSG opened up in the second half. 5 different players scored the 6 goals. They're playing really effectively. There's a 22 point gap with 2nd place Marseille. They declared their championship with 7 weeks to go. Even if they lose all their remaining games and Marseille win all their games, they can't catch them. In the last years they had an embargo on the title, but this was one of the easiest.
Their main goal now is to win the Champions League. But they will want to continue this streak in the league and finish the season undefeated.
