French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bitgolden]

Luis Enrique had to choose between setting new records or winning the Champions League. Ending the season unbeaten is a great achievement but winning the UCL will be a greater feat. So it's not strange to see them lose against Nice. Since the defending Champions have already won the Ligue One, it is wise to rest key players so that they can be fit for the all-important games against Arsenal. PSG would have to avoid any form of injuries to ensure that they feature best players in the game with the Gunners.

Frankly, I don’t think Paris Saint-Germain cares about this defeat against Nice. They just moved away from their sole aim of finishing the season undefeated. Therefore, they can now easily take the field with the reserve squad in other matches. They had to rest their best players in the match against Arsenal in order to field them. In my opinion, a draw away at Arsenal would provide them with an advantageous score that would allow them to advance to the final.

They would "care" in the sense that they are not looking into losing right now when they are looking to get a win. Surely champions at Ligue 1 already, but they want a momentum and losing interrupts that momentum and considering they are going to still battle at UCL, they could care, so it does matter a bit, not a lot but a bit. To be fair, they can of course overcome this because they are not going to care when they are facing UCL games and Louis Enrique just wanted to rest some players and relax this game.

League is over anyways, so while they would like to keep winning because of momentum and morale reasons, they still do not have to c are on the long run considering what they are doing right now, there isn't anything they can't recover from if they care just a bit.

Paris Saint-Germain record their first defeat of the season, I know it's surprising for Les Parisiens when they couldn't hold onto a draw against Nice. This is never the intention of Luis Enrique for the club, he had intention of bringing out the very best performance from PSG and also putting them in close position of hitting higher angles.

Why bother to win the remaining games when PSG have been crown champion of Ligue One? They've other tough situations at hand and wouldn't want anything to jeopardize their chances of winning Arsenal. It's very tough oppositions for them but I still believe they can do it, PSG are responsible for eliminating two tough EPL sides from the UEFA Champions League this season. They kick Liverpool and Aston Villa and now facing Arsenal, a tough one to decide.

PSG doesn't stand a chance against Arsenal. This is not the French league were PSG reigns supreme,I don't see any team's in the French league that can play better than Arsenal, talk more of defeating them in a 90min matches. We all know how teams in the premier League can be so strong as the premier league is considered more competitive than the French league. I am certain Arsenal will definitely defeat PSG in the Chiampions league semi finals. However I am not entirely saying PSG is weak but we all know how unlucky PSG can be when it comes to the Chiampions league,they might be strong in the French league,but when it comes to playing against an opponent like Arsenal from a different league, I think PSG will find it very challenging to keep up.

Lyon managed to increase their points to 54 by defeating Rennes at home.Rennes have no goal other than to stay in the league, so they can still stay in the league even if they lose their last 3 games.Therefore, there was not much to tire themselves in the match against Lyon.Lyon, on the other hand, went to this match to win and won because their top 3 adventure continues.
Monaco lost 2 points in a 1-1 draw away to Monaco.Le Havre's quest to stay in the league is still going on.They will do their best to finish 15th or 16th in the league.They need points at least to play for a play-out.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, continue their rising form.Strasbourg, who won 3-1 against a tough opponent and increased their points to 54, will want to finish in the top 3.They have tough opponents but it must be said that they are also doing well this season.They will have tough matches in the last 3 weeks.Br will host PSG next week and I think they will beat them.

Yes, if we compare it with Paris Saint Germain in the previous season, maybe we can say they are one step ahead overall, starting from their game and also their mentality. Even when they no longer have star players, they are more doubted in my opinion.

But that is once again what is an advantage for them, because in terms of cooperation I see them better than before. The coach should also get appreciation, because what he has implemented with Paris Saint Germain so far is right and that is thanks to good observation of course.

This is a good momentum for Luis Enrique to make rapid progress for PSG because realistically they have won the Ligue 1 title and do not need to fight harder to secure it. It remains how they prepare themselves when facing Arsenal in the Champions League because facing the English representatives may not be easy and not much different when they face Liverpool.

In terms of the game, it may be much better because now they are much more united with each other so there is no burden to serve stars like when Mbappe was still strengthening PSG. Luis Enrique only needs to improve the mentality of his players so that they can be much more ready to face pressure from Arsenal.

That was my reason for betting on Lyon's victory yesterday because I always understand that in every match towards the end of the season, Lyon always performs optimally to reach the top 5 or even the top 3. This has often happened since a few seasons ago.
From the remaining 3 games this season, I believe Lyon will definitely manage to reach at least the top 4 positions to get a Champions League qualifying ticket.

Sometimes without star players, a team becomes more solid, as happened with PSG this season. If PSG manages to win the Champions League trophy this season, then Mbappe is someone I think is quite unlucky. His goal in moving to Real Madrid to win the trophy, Mbappe will get a lot of ridicule. Besides, Luis Enrique will clearly shift all his focus to the Champions League, without having to care about Ligue 1 anymore.

That's what's happening at PSG now because even though they are not reinforced by several mega stars, their performance can be much better than before. I'm also sure that when PSG manages to win the Champions League, Mbappe will be linked and there will be many memes made just to say Mbappe is unlucky. Because we know that Mbappe moved to Real Madrid because he wanted to win the Champions League and achieve the best career for an individual.

In Ligue 1 there is no more competition and PSG have confirmed the champions so now Luis Enrique's focus can be to prepare the team to face Arsenal. Building a mentality is very important so that players can face pressure and they can play calmly to find opportunities to win the match.

Why should they care about the French league anymore? They have already secured the championship and their only goal right now is the Champions League. They also eliminated a very strong team like Liverpool on the way to that goal. They have a match against Arsenal next. If they can beat Arsenal, I think Paris Saint-Germain will win no matter who comes in the final. Because as much as I want Arsenal to win this cup, I want Paris Saint-Germain to win more.

Lille made no mistake away to Angers and managed to defeat their opponent.Angers now need points to stay in the league and are only 2 points ahead of Le Havre.Lille want to finish in the top 3 of the league so they must not lose points.Lille won with 2 goals away from home and managed to increase their points to 56.
Auxrre, on the other hand, did the unexpected against Lens.Auxerre scored 4 goals against Lens and managed to defeat Lens.They played a good game in the first half and closed the first half 3-0 ahead.In the second half, Lens could not do anything against their opponent.Even if Lens won the match, the possibility of getting into the top 6 was already weak, so it doesn't change much that both teams won.

If we remember Mbappe's goal of moving to Real Madrid for the Champions League trophy this season, it is indeed very, very unlucky for him because Real Madrid has already been eliminated from the Champions League this season and could potentially not get any trophies this season. Meanwhile, PSG, who have already celebrated the title in Ligue 1 this season, can already focus one hundred percent on the Champions League so that PSG's chances of winning their first Champions League trophy this season are very open.

Six teams are having difference of two points which making things interesting for fans and challenging for clubs today big game as Marseille hosting Brest can give them some advantage but recently mostly results are unpredictable, so any prediction about match result is not easy.

At the top teams are not able to keep consistency like Monaco drop 7 points in last 5 games and Marseille had dropped 9 points which making things more tense for them Lyon is doing good but still they also lost 6 points Nice, Strasbourg and Lille can create some thrill in last four games. Lille is visiting Angers in case of win for Lille this is going to be another interesting twist which will give them second or third spot and things could be more challenging for their opponents to have their spot in coming matches.

Interesting competition indeed but sadly they can not compete for title against PSG but fighting hard to depose each other from spot on the table. Lille won against Angers yesterday to secure the third spot on the table with two points below Marseille who's sitting in uncomfortable second position. Among the six teams dragging positions, AS Monaco is the team that is not in form like the rest of other teams. Lillie is the most in form team and that is a threat to Marseille position. At this moment, we are not certain of which team to play in champions league, Europa and conference league respectively because every upcoming match will have serious impact on how things play out since the points differences range from two and one.

By the way, if PSG can win the Champions League, it will be a big miss for Mbappe. But on the other hand, Enrique said at the beginning of the season that they could become stronger without Mbappe, I didn't understand what he was talking about, how can you become stronger in attack, having lost one of the best scorers, but in the end it turned out that way. At the end, when he wanted to go to Real, he was more of a hindrance to the team than a help, so it would be better for Enrique if Mbappe simply left the team.

Towards the end of the season there is nothing interesting in the French League 1 matches because it has long been confirmed that the winner of this season's trophy will fall into the hands of PSG, and they are currently ahead by 20 points.

There are only 3 matches left, what is quite interesting is perhaps the competition between several teams competing to get a place in the top 3 positions in order to get a ticket to the Champions League next season. Currently the second position is occupied by Marseille while the third position is occupied by LOSC Lille. And it seems that AS Monco who is currently in fifth position, they still can't accept that they have to be absent from the Champions League next season, but it is very unfortunate that lately the team has only been able to collect a few points. but with a difference of one point with LOSC, it is still quite possible for AS Monaco to finish in third position. the bad thing is when AS Monaco fails the remaining 3 matches, maybe they will not only lose their place in the Champions League next season, but also in every European competition.

In my opinion, a draw away at Arsenal would provide them with an advantageous score that would allow them to advance to the final.

There preparation to Arsenal was why Nice gave them their greatest scores of the league because non other club has done this to Paris Saint-Germain on this league because no team has even gotten a complete point from Paris Saint-Germain apart from few draws that constituted one point to those clubs that draws with them, however Nice and Lyon has now become one and the same in everything on the table both their goal difference and total points they all have are the same but only the position is were Nice hasn't catch up. 29 April is very close for Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.

[Slow death]

There are only 2 rounds left for Ligue1 to end, it was a very pleasant season, watching the games was also very good and seeing that Ligue1 only has 2 rounds left makes me a little sad, but I believe that the following teams:

1 - Saint-Etienne

2 - Le Havre

3 - Angers

4 - Nantes

5 - Reims

The next 2 games will be very exciting for these 5 teams, any of them could be relegated, which is why I believe that at the moment the coaches and management of these teams are very worried. Being relegated is not easy, probably many players from these teams are looking for other teams so that if they are relegated they can play for the teams that are still in the main leagues

What do you think? Will it end in a draw?
Since before the match started, I believed PSG would not perform optimally. This was because PSG had more important fixtures and a defeat was unlikely but the worst result was a draw.
In this first half the score is 1-1 and seeing PSG often attack in this first half makes me believe that at least PSG can get 1 more score to get 3 points and give my bet win.

True, PSG have more important fixtures in the Champions League but finishing the season as invincibles would also be a great achievement for PSG so I don’t agree with you that they just decided to lose and break their unbeaten record. This was supposed to be their first ever unbeaten record if they had maintained that streak but unfortunately they lost and ended their unbeaten run.

But that's the only valid explanation to them losing that game in such margin to OGC Nice because I feel their eye and target is primarily on the champions league as they are already sure of winning the Ligue 1 title already although an unbeaten run would have been nice too but seeing now that their opponent is also desperate to win their first ever champions league, it safer to be cautious and get better preparation for the champions league match ahead.

[Velvet78]

PSG could have finished the season without a loss actually. It was going to be a new record in the Ligue 1. There is no team in Ligue 1 history being champions unbeaten in a season.

But it didn't happen as PSG lost to Nice home by 3-1... Is it too important though? No maybe but it would still be nice to see a new record set in the league. 

It was an important win for Nice. They are still in the race for European tournament spots. This win carried them to the 6th position.

That's right, I believe that PSG is trying to maintain its unbeaten record, even though it is enough to only pursue a draw for the rest of the season. However, surprisingly Luis Enrique squad suffered a defeat, and it was very disappointing because it happened at their home ground. Besides, there may be many bettors who suffered losses in the match, because they predicted that PSG could secure full points to maintain the impressive record. However, I think the defeat will not affect PSG mentality and performance too much when they face Arsenal in the Champions League.

Montpellier hosted Reims at home.Montpellier have already been relegated but Reims need points to stay away from the relegation zone.Currently the points difference with their opponent in 16th place is 5 but it can be closed if they rely on this difference and continue to lose or draw in their matches.They have to win at least 1 of their last remaining matches for sure.
Marseille defeated their strong rival Brest 4-1 at home and managed to increase their points to 58.I think Marseille is more likely to finish the league in 2nd place than other teams.They are now 2 points ahead of their closest rival.Marseille will go to Lille away next week.If they return from this match with the worst draw, they will most likely finish the league in 2nd place.
