French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[dwminer1]

Today's game St. Etienne - Troyes is extremely important to both teams in terms of keeping in the league. Both teams scored some points in the last matches, which certainly improved the mood in both teams, but there is still a long way to go. I do not see a clear favorite in this match. Certainly, both teams will be interested mainly in not losing the match, so I will bet on a draw.

One of the biggest matches of the week is Monaco - PSG which is two days later. PSG are already doing very well and they are in a comfortable position in the league too. Even though PSG are the favourite here, I think that Monaco won't lose this match. Maybe it is going to be a really tough one for them but they can even win this match in fact. They must take Nice as an example to make it to the victory. Nice had the right game plan against PSG and won it without serious problems. As PSG are already far ahead of all their opponents, they might not play with their one hundred percent.

Because indeed the competition to win this league is quite easy, there may even be no competition to win this league because PSG are always superior with money, thus giving a fairly large gap in terms of player quality which makes the competition uncompetitive.
Maybe in this case the pleasure or not is measured by the amount of money that is poured lol.
but if Mbappe is happy then he probably won't want to leave PSG now

I would guess that even though there is a good case to be made for Ligue 1 to be not a great place to show your prowess, I feel like some players are just looking for a challenge and that never really made sense to me. You could make 50 million euros per year, and win the league every year for 10 years straight, and you already won it so many times as well.
Isn't that great? I mean who wouldn't want something like that? Why do you need to challenge yourself to some other bigger deals and end up doing something bigger and harder and get some more respect? You will end up with maybe like 500+ million euros for the next 10 years, total of maybe 1 billion when you retire, isn't that enough respect?

Listen, if you never push yourself to the limit, you will never know what you are capable of. And easy is not an option for the Greats of the game.

Trust me, every player wants their legacy to be lived forever. I think that's what the players should go for. Obviously staying in the PSG will give the players League title and lots of money for a long time but they will never know what actual competition could bring out from them. And money isn't respect, legacy is respect.

For players who really want to reach the end then I don't think it's too much of a problem like what Messi and Sergio did because indeed they want to reach crucial times and they won't even be retiring soon but for players who are still developing and have good prospects for their future like Mbappe is not very favorable in my opinion.
He is now being touted as the successor to rivals Messi and Ronaldo and Haaland and it is clear that domestic league titles alone are not enough.

PSG have been eliminated from all competitions, so it makes no sense for them to save energy. In addition, they will try to prove that they are worth something, so they will come to this match highly motivated. I think PSG will win without any problems. Quotes for this match are quite interesting:

3,80 - 3,95 - 1,91

Easy bet on PSG. This thing made me laugh really hard - the odds of a certain player scoring a goal:

Mbappe, Kylian 2.12

Messi, Lionel 2.44

How can these two players have roughly equal odds?

That's right, It's very clear they will play total now even though their points are still very difficult to catch but why are they saving energy now because their focus is on staying in Ligue 1 and nothing else.

btw it's 1.91 in my opinion this is a pretty good bet for a team like PSG now especially their opponent is only monaco which indeed in the last few matches have not played well

After being painfully eliminated from the champions league, now PSG are only focused on playing in Ligue 1 and with their position at the top of the table now of course PSG will play without any burdens at all, facing Monaco will be a revenge match for PSG after they were eliminated in the champions league, but the interesting thing about this match is that when the two players who are aiming for the top score this season will meet each other, it can be said that PSG no longer has a rival in winning the championship but that is not the case with mbappe who will compete with Wissam Ben Yedder to become the goal scorer most this season,so it is likely that we will see many goals created in this match later.

I think that the most exciting game of the week is going to be Marseille - Nice. Because these teams have almost the same statistics in the league right now. They both have 50 points and the thing that differentiates them is the most goals scored in this season so far. Marseille are ahead about that and keeping their second place too. Bookmakers are thinking that Marseille are the nearest team to a win here. And I believe in them to win too. But even if one side wins this game, it wouldn't be an easy one surely. I might bet on both teams to score and watch the game with a clear mind.

PSG will just finish the season, without straining, and there will be only one task - this is an early championship. The main task of the season failed, they did not win the Champions League again. Mbappe will score because he is young and wants to play football, maybe he even wants to be a top scorer. Who else is there to score except Mbappe. Probably it will not be Messi with two goals scored.

well the fact that PSG is 15 points away from the other teams and has light games ahead so the other games of the other teams are lackluster because they are games to fulfill the schedule. I hope that next season the other teams will be strong enough to compete with PSG and be able to be champions. In this current way, watching other teams' games becomes tiring at least for me because I don't see other teams fighting to be champions

Do you really think other Ligue 1 teams will compete for the title with PSG? I don't think so. Teams like Lens, Lille and Monaco are quite weak now. They need talented and experienced players to strengthen their squad. But they are not interested in spending enough money. PSG, on the other hand, spends more money than they need. Fighting for the title with PSG requires other teams to spend money and recruit talented players.

Oh thanks! When I saw the insane quotes for the likely goal scorers, I completely forgot about this rivalry. Now if you look at the chances and the number of goals already scored, the situation becomes comical:

Mbappe, Kylian 2.10 - 16 goals scored

Messi, Lionel 2.45 - 2 goals scored

Neymar 2.55 - 5 goals scored

Ben Yedder, Wissam 2.75 - 15 goals scored

  How can it be? Let's say PSG is so strong that they simply will not allow Monaco to score a goal, but why is Messi quoted above Neymar and very close to the most obvious top 1 scorer Mbappe while having only 2 goals?
It looks like a defense against fanboys who bet against the facts.

[perla]

It's nice that they can line up all the stars in the French league. But it has never been exciting from day 1. And the public is also quite interested in it, I have the idea. Everyone wants PSG to win the Champions League, and the matches in the French league are not exciting. It doesn't matter that much if you lose or draw. And I also wonder if Messi wants to keep playing in this league, because it is not a challenge.

Certainly, both teams will be interested mainly in not losing the match, so I will bet on a draw.

So far Troyes has played better, scoring a goal in the 18th minute of the game. The ball is mostly in St Etienne, but they cannot produce a serious position. I can say that it was a bit of a boring match.
It doesn't look like he could score more goals. The first half of the game is now over, but I think we will not see a goal again

Fighting for the title with PSG requires other teams to spend money and recruit talented players.

Nothing will stop PSG from clinching the title this season considering they already lead the standings with a 15-point advantage over the other two contenders. PSG have 10 match left for the season and they will be sure of the title at the start of this season despite losing 2-3 in the next 10 matches.

It's hard to see the fact that Messi, who has signed from Barcelona so far, has only scored 2 goals, but he has already registered 10 assists for PSG. Mbappe is the team's top scorer who may still be Ligue 1's top scorer at the end of the season, but all that means nothing because PSG failed in the Champions League. PSG must strengthen their defense and midfielders if they are to compete with other top teams in the Champions League next season. It's useless they have Mbappe, Messi and Neymar but their defense is bad.

Another player have good talent before moving to PSG in this season except Donnarumma is Georginio Wijnaldum, he was success give champion league and primer league trophy for Liverpool before moving to PSG but all depend with PSG manager or head coach how to get their service talent, not between Georginio Wijnaldum and Donnarumma looks not happy with PSG head coach because less minute playing exactly with Donnaruma coming to PSG as best goal keeper on EURO 2020 after success give trophy for his country but not get good performance with PSG in this season.

I would guess that people are having hard time in PSG not just mainly because of Pochettino, but because his strategy doesn't fit a "team filled with superstars" type of deal. This is the same guy who learned so much from bielsa, and Pochettino is great at overacheiving with a small club. Give him norwich at the start of this year and he would have kept them out of relegation zone, maybe even be like 12th or 13th. Give him City and they would have probably been third or fourth in the league.

I know that doesn't make sense to some people but some managers are like that, they can take a tiny bad club and make them overachieve, but a great team would be hard for them. This is why getting Zidane is a big deal for PSG, he can manage a club full of stars and win UCL.

Looks like I've seen what you're going to do now considering you always do Multi bet I think this will be good enough for you.
PSG are favored now and indeed the odds offered are also quite good there. On the other hand, adding Bet to Mbappe seems very tempting now. I will do this
I hope what I'm doing now isn't a mistake

I think tonight will be a battle between Nantes and Lille... Both teams need to pick up points to pull away from each other and fight for a place in the top 5! The last time Nantes won was in 2015, but today bookmakers are giving equally high odds to win around 3.0... I'd risk betting x2, with a good odds of 1.4...

Although Lille's performance is a bit weak this season. However, at the moment their performance is quite stable. They have been undefeated for the last 5 matches. Also, Lille has a more experienced team than Nantes. In this match, Lille will definitely play for 3 points. My expectation is that they will succeed in getting 3 points. However, it seems that the players of both teams will be able to score goals.

It will be quite exciting considering the two teams are now only one point adrift and Nantes will definitely take advantage of this to overtake Lille.
But when we look at their performance, their performance is actually quite balanced in my opinion, their problems are almost the same because they are still very difficult in goal productivity even though Nantes is actually better than Lille.
Lille are still very difficult to score goals at the moment and most likely I still feel it will be a draw

We also have to consider how Nantes was able to beat PSG 3-1, while Lille was beaten at home by PSG by a score of 5-1. Also, during the previous away game that Nantes could hold Lille to a 1-1 draw. In this case I think Nantes have a better chance of winning, if you bet with risk I think betting on the home or away team is better than the double chance option. Good luck!
