French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[pawel7777]

PSG have secured the championship some time ago, with 22 point advantage over the 2nd Marseille, but they still have something to play for. They can become the first ever French team to complete the season without a loss.
One team was close of achieving that, Nantes in the season 1994-95, but they ended with one loss. Still, for that season, Nantes holds the record of the longest unbeaten run within a single season (32 matches).
Both Nantes and PSG are playing tomorrow evening, but I don't expect Nantes will be able to ruin PSG's undefeated run.

Due to the league being reduced to 18 teams from 2023/24, PSG have no chance of beating their own record of the most points in a season (96), but they can still set a new record for the highest average points per game.

Lille defeated Auxerre 3-1 at home to increase their points tally to 53.Lille also have a chance to finish 2nd in the league but they want to finish in the top 3 for sure.Lille didn't have much difficulty in the match and got a comfortable win at home.
Nice, who have struggled to win in recent weeks, managed to get an important 3 points by defeating their rivals Angers 2-1 at home.They have also lost points in recent weeks and have been out of the top 3, but this win will hopefully motivate them even more.Angers need every point as they are very close to the relegation zone.

Lille win last night put them as the last team entitled to a CL ticket but with 4 games left their place is not safe enough especially since there are 3 teams eyeing their current position including Nice because after beating Angers Nice position is slightly superior to the other 2 teams even the top 2 teams namely Marseille and Monaco their positions can still be shifted by those below them. The competition is really tight at the end and every game must be considered crucial for them. Regarding Angers they are 3 points ahead I think with that advantage they can keep their position safe from the relegation zone.

Coach Luis Enrique is still pushing his side to keep winning games. Maybe PSG is just playing to break records since they are already the champions. They are more focused on qualifying for the Champions League finals by beating Arsenal and lifting the French Cup by winning Reims. In the Ligue One games some key players will be rested to avoid injuries and tiredness.

I just remembered that it was rumored that Mbappe left the French side because he felt that it would be easier to win the UCL with Real Madrid. His regrets will be boundless if the French side finally wins the most prestigious club competition in Europe this season.

Paris Saint-Germain doesn't have a match when it comes to the league title. They've successfully dominated and won the league title. They're consider to be the main club in the French league, no competitors imposing any threat like other leagues. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique have priorities to meet up this season and he's not calming down because there's actually more to accomplish with Les Parisiens. There's absolutely no way he will relent not when he has an army of players ready to execute their job.

PSG in the UEFA semi final, we know how tough it will be for them but they will try their possible best to ensure they eliminate Arsenal. Checking their previous fixtures, they've beaten EPL sides to reach this very phase and there's no going back.

Ligue1 top scorers list:



Ousmane Dembélé and Mason Greenwood are two incredible players, both are proving to their former clubs that they are good players and that their former clubs lost a lot by letting them go. Today they are shining in Ligue 1, I hope both players have the same success next season.


Tomorrow there is a game between Nantes and PSG, I believe that the PSG coach will rest the best players, they have already won Ligue 1 and need to focus on the European Champions League game against Arsenal, which is a strong team, but even so I will not be surprised if PSG beats Nantes.

Marseille defeated their weaker opponent heavily and got the 3 points.They have been struggling to win in recent weeks and this was motivation for them.With this win they moved into 2nd place.

Marseille has not been able to play well recently. We have seen Marseille lose three of their last five matches. However, Marseille is no longer able to compete for the title. Now Marseille's goal is to qualify for the Champions League by finishing second in the table.

At the beginning of the season, we thought Marseille would compete for the Ligue 1 title. But we were wrong. Marseille is now 22 points behind PSG.

The difference in points between Marseille, Monaco and Lille is only 1. So there is a possibility of all three teams being in second place. The teams will only play 4 matches. The team that can do well in the last 4 matches will occupy the second place in the table.

In first half of this season, Marseille were at his best and many were expecting they are going to give good challenge for title but sadly in second half they lost their rhythm and faced unusual defeats specially against few weak sides which give them setback but still good thing they are able to stay at second spot behind leaders PSG with 22 points difference.

Now situation is interested in top remaining spots where few teams are trying to have their chance Strasbourg at 7th have difference of just 4 points which is surely giving good challenge to top spots in coming round mostly teams are having weaker opponents which will make things more interested because all can take 3 points and this fight will be gone till last round of this season.

Brest, who had not lost in their last 5 matches, could not win at home against Lens.Brest scored the first goal in the 13th minute and 4 minutes later they saw a goal in their goal and the situation came to 1-1.Lens, who won a penalty after Ndiaye's intervention, led 2-1 at half-time and their opponent was down to 10 men.The match became easier for them and they managed to get 3 points by winning 3-1 from this away game.
Saint Etienne defeated Lyon 2-1 at home and scored an important 3 points.Saint Etienne's goals were scored by Lucas Stassin, while Lyon's goal was scored by Tanner Tessmann.Lyon lost important points for their top 3 target.They needed to win this match but failed to do so.Thus, they lost the chance to be 3rd.Saint Etienne got an important point to stay in the league and although they have 1 game less, the points difference with Le Havre has dropped to 3.

Lille defeated Auxerre 3-1 at home to increase their points tally to 53.Lille also have a chance to finish 2nd in the league but they want to finish in the top 3 for sure.Lille didn't have much difficulty in the match and got a comfortable win at home.
Nice, who have struggled to win in recent weeks, managed to get an important 3 points by defeating their rivals Angers 2-1 at home.They have also lost points in recent weeks and have been out of the top 3, but this win will hopefully motivate them even more.Angers need every point as they are very close to the relegation zone.

There are 6 places between Marseille and Strasbourg, but there is a 4 point difference between the two teams. There are 4 games left in the league and the league table can change at any time due to the 4 point difference. The fight for second place will continue if it continues like this. At the end of the 4 games, it will be clear who will go to the Champions League, but there is still a big uncertainty in this table.

Sometimes every player needs another moment to rise and find their best form again, Dembele and Greenwood are at the right club and are being coached by the right manager too. Ligue 1 is not as competitive as the Premier League or La Liga, Dembele and Greenwood are quite easy to adapt and become important players for their respective teams. I assume, both players will continue to add to their goal collection until the end of the season. Manchester United regret is much greater than Barcelona for letting go of their important assets.

[Silence Scream]

PSG continue to win even though they declared their championship.I think their aim should be to finish the league unbeaten.Le Havre was a team that needed points but they couldn't win in this tough away game.
Monaco drew with Strasbourg, the in-form team of the last weeks.Both teams have different goals and for them both needed points.The points difference between Strasbourg and Monaco was 3.If Strasbourg had won they would have been in 3rd place but they failed to do so.
Marseille defeated their weaker opponent heavily and got the 3 points.They have been struggling to win in recent weeks and this was motivation for them.With this win they moved into 2nd place.

We will watch this competition until the season ends. Paris Saint-Germain has a squad above the French league and they are of sufficient quality to beat any team. Even if they declare the championship, they are still a team that can beat any opponent with their reserve squad. Because their reserve squad is also of very high quality. That is why it did not surprise me that they won this week. Marseille, Monaco and other teams have to win the remaining matches to compete in the Champions League. We will watch a nice race for second place.

I just remembered that it was rumored that Mbappe left the French side because he felt that it would be easier to win the UCL with Real Madrid. His regrets will be boundless if the French side finally wins the most prestigious club competition in Europe this season.

I ome hundred percent certain this Champions League Competition would be won by PSG if Arsenal fail to win against them and there's nothing to regret about moving to Real Madrid and seeing your former club lifting the Champions league competition. One thing is certain for Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid,  they'll sure win the Champions League Competition in the next 3to 4 years maximum. Belows displays the chase for League 1 highest goals. Mason Greenwood seem to have his eyes on the prize 👀

Nantes Vs PSG
I'm sure the champions will be willing to add more points to their already existing one, Nantes who are only 3 points ahead of the teams in the relegation zone. I'm really tipping PSG to be invisible this season and I think they are also hungry for such a record. It will really be exciting to see them achieve such feat and if they are more determined, they can also add the Champions League trophy to it will be actually be a double history for them in one season.

It will really be exciting to see them achieve such feat and if they are more determined, they can also add the Champions League trophy to it will be actually be a double history for them in one season.

Enrique seems to remain focused on league 1 even though they have actually won it because the points difference is very far from second place. Enrique is ambitious to win the league 1 trophy without ever losing, that's why they play every match seriously even though the trophy is already in their hands now. In addition, Enrique wants to continue to maintain this winning record so that it can be used as capital to face Arsenal in the champions league, because of course by continuing to win their confidence will continue to increase and that will affect when facing Arsenal later.

So my prediction, PSG when playing against Nantes and in the next match against Nice. PSG will continue to pursue victory. However, Enrique will still rotate a number of players because he certainly does not want his core squad to lose. PSG's victory over Le Havre last week proved that PSG is very ambitious and motivated to win the title without being defeated.

[Jossque]

Nantes drew 1-1 with PSG at home.Nantes needed a point from this game to stay in the league and they got it.PSG made a few changes in the second half after leading 1-0 at half time.Despite that, they couldn't prevent a goal in 83 and left this away game with a draw.I think this is an acceptable result for both teams.Especially for Nantes to get a point from this game will show the importance of even 1 point in the coming weeks for them to stay in the league.For PSG, as long as they don't lose, it won't be a problem as the matches are now a formality.

[knowngunman]

In Ligue 1, PSG is always favored and there is no other club that can compete, meaning that the club is always at the top, both in terms of points and scores. and this victory has been very predictable since the beginning of the season. the difference is that PSG this season won, with unbeaten match results but compared to previous seasons, and this must continue to be improved.

While on the other hand, PSG's achievement in the UCL so far is entering the final round in 2019/2020, but unfortunately it failed, because they lost to Bayern Munich. And then, they often failed in the round of 16. And now, they have that chance, and they will be trying as much as they can. because their opponents are also not easy, Arsenal who have conquered Real Madrid.

PSG doesn't have competitor in Ligue 1 and that's why they keep winning the champions year in year out irrespective of their form. Just look at the gap between them and the second team on the table and also goal difference, that's too huge and clearly show how incompetent the teams are. If PSG should have their match in the league, it definitely won't be possible for them to be champions back to back.

PSG play draw yesterday but it doesn't affect them in any way because they are already champions even if they lose all their remaining games. Why do you think they always find it hard to succeed in champions league? The answer is simple, it's because they meet their mates. They are gradually advancing this season with just a win for them to make it to the final but will they find it easy to pass Arsenal? Well, time shall tell and we'll see what happens when they meet. 

[LUCKMCFLY]

What is needed now is how other teams can reach a much better level like Lyon when competing in the Europa League but they failed again after not achieving victory when facing Manchester United in the second leg. Next season there must be an effort that needs to be made by each team and it must really happen because it requires big changes.

It's a fact, that game was very good, I saw when MU was going so far, from one moment to another they stepped on the accelerator, somehow the teams in the biggest competitions start to play as if they were others, in their leagues they don't do it like that, I don't know what's happening , MU is doing badly in the PL, well very badly, and Lyon is not the best either, I don't know what's happening, maybe the incentives are not enough, and things usually change, but in the Europa League it's another level.

Nantes drew 1-1 with PSG at home.Nantes needed a point from this game to stay in the league and they got it.PSG made a few changes in the second half after leading 1-0 at half time.Despite that, they couldn't prevent a goal in 83 and left this away game with a draw.I think this is an acceptable result for both teams.Especially for Nantes to get a point from this game will show the importance of even 1 point in the coming weeks for them to stay in the league.For PSG, as long as they don't lose, it won't be a problem as the matches are now a formality.

The draw has no effect on PSG's position in the standings, they are safe in league 1. PSG only want to maintain their unbeaten record until the end of the season and this draw makes PSG's hopes of winning the league trophy without being defeated still wide open. It must be admitted that PSG's game in this match was not so good, the PSG players played as if they were not enthusiastic, maybe if there was still a long time, Nantes could win this match.

In the next match, Enrique needs to motivate his players to play more enthusiastically and create many opportunities to score goals. Because, victory after victory is very important for PSG at this time to be more confident when facing Arsenal in the Champions League. Yes. This draw is very beneficial for Nantes, at least they get one point to move away from the relegation zone.

It’s a good feeling for me that Mason Greenwood is doing so well despite everything he faced at the end of his Manchester United career. Ousmana Dembele had troubles leaving Barcelona and both players have battled head to head with their demons to be the best players in their new clubs.

[Pandu Geddon]

Because, victory after victory is very important for PSG at this time to be more confident when facing Arsenal in the Champions League. Yes. This draw is very beneficial for Nantes, at least they get one point to move away from the relegation zone.

In the next match against Nice, I actually think that PSG will play a simple game to keep the players in their best form in preparation for facing Arsenal. PSG can still play the usual players in the main squad. But I'm sure they won't be allowed to play the full game, and there will be some substitutions.
As you said, maybe PSG will prioritize not losing and not mind a draw for the remaining matches. They can achieve this by winning the Ligue 1 trophy without being defeated this season.

The draw has no effect on PSG's position in the standings, they are safe in league 1.

It must be admitted that PSG's game in this match was not so good, the PSG players played as if they were not enthusiastic, maybe if there was still a long time, Nantes could win this match.

PSG has indeed locked the title of champion this season earlier or more precisely at the beginning of this month so that any results obtained by PSG at this time have absolutely no effect on PSG. You can imagine which team is able to catch up with PSG's points which have so far collected 78 points, while the team in second place has only collected 55 points. This indicates that PSG is no longer too focused on matches in Ligue 1 and is only focused on matches in the Champions League because PSG still has the opportunity to prove itself in the Champions League this season.
