French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Ah, no wonder there's no PSG match scheduled this week, whether it's due to the UCL schedule or some other reason, I haven't found a valid answer to PSG's request for the match to be postponed.

Many were disappointed with Lens result, but fortunately, I picked both teams to score, and it worked. It seems Lens is starting to tire of competing with PSG, having only won twice in the last five weeks.

Lens had their disappointed match and result so they must pray that PSG will lose points and not win their match. Because if PSG win their match that is rescheduled by Champions League fixture, PSG will create four points more than Lens and with their strong domination in Ligue 1, that point difference will almost secure their first position and title in this season.

If I'm not mistaken, there were several factors that led to the postponement of the PSG match. This was due to the important schedule and the proximity of PSG UCL preparations, which of course made it impossible to carry out. If forced, the players will not have enough rest time and ultimately their performance will not be optimal. Leading PSG to decide to postpone it, extreme weather was also a factor.

As I've said before, I actually doubt Lens can maintain their consistency to compete closely with PSG. This is evident by Lens dropping three crucial points, so I don't have high expectations for Lens this season, but finishing second is already an achievement for them.

Most seasons in Ligue 1, PSG win the league title very easily, and it's barely chance to see them winning Ligue 1 titles with small differences against runner-ups. This season can be like this but likely PSG will win another title as Lens are neither strong enough nor consistent enough to win against PSG in a title race. Lens actually made big surprise by competing very closely with PSG in this season but perhaps they already hit their limit and can not perform better.

Unfortunately, the PSG - Nantes game has been postponed at PSG's request and will take place sometime between April 20th and 26th. I really don't like it when teams have a different number of games in the table, and now it will be a whole month.

Remember the whole Milan-Como game drama?
I hate when teams play for days, so you need to wait from Friday till Monday to see how the placing looks, but 1 month is insane.
I wonder what math did they look at and why, this would have been better since they are already looking at an easy game in CL, why postpone it to 24-26 when they might have to play in the CL on the 28th of April?

Yes, I'm generally against all these games being moved to other countries and when Clásicos are played in a country other than Spain. It's nonsense. In the case of PSG, this is also nonsense - they literally have one goal for the season: the Champions League, because the Ligue 1 title falls into their pocket automatically, but they are embarrassing themselves and asking to postpone the game. It is illogical, inconvenient for others, and creates an unhealthy atmosphere of privilege.
