French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Princess Leah]

I know very well the point difference between PSG and Lens isn't four, that's why I said that if PSG wins their outstanding match they will top Lens by four points. Lens still has a stake in the title race, and I think they should avoid dropping points if they want to get another chance of topping the French Ligue 1 table again. Because PSG's performance is unpredictable this season, they can drop points anytime soon as they are more concerned in retaining their Champions League trophy.

PSG has a better shot than Lens for the title race, they'll be playing a less tougher opponent compared to Lens that would play against Lille that's in fifth position. Well I feel the winner of the title would be decided when both teams meet after their next match, Lens form is great and they'll be very tough to play against.

 I doubt if theyll drop points now that the season is almost ending, not when Lens is very close to taking over first position if they end up dropping, that's one risk PSG won't take cause the trophy is very important to them as well as the Champions League.

In their next match, Paris Saint-Germain will play Toulouse at home. We know that the chances of them losing at home are very slim. Therefore, I think they will easily win this match. However, Lens, who will play against Lille, may be far from victory. Their dreams of winning the championship continue, and if they want this dream to continue, they have to win against Lille away. They have no other choice, and dropping points is the last thing they want.

[BlackBaron]

Even though PSG wins their outstanding match and top Lens by four points, the battle for the French Ligue 1 title isn't yet over because Lens has the zeal to challenge PSG for the title this season. The only way I can believe that Lens doesn't have the capacity to stop PSG from winning the title is if PSG maintain the performance they had against Chelsea in the Champions League and against Nice in their remaining matches.

The competition isn't over yet. As long as Lens still has a chance to overtake Paris Saint-Germain, the competition isn't over, although it will be difficult. Suppose Paris Saint-Germain wins their postponed match, which would increase their points gap to 4 points. However, 4 points is still possible, although certain conditions must be met. For example, if Paris Saint-Germain slips up in at least two matches, Lens could sweep all remaining matches with a win.

We know that statistically, on paper, Paris Saint-Germain is the overwhelming favorite. However, they still often slip up, as evidenced by the repeated changes in the standings, so the chance is still there, albeit small.

From the PSG team I watched yesterday play against nice I feel that PSG is now back to full form that, they were
Last season which brought them plenty of success. PSG looked fantastic yesterday with the way that they played they played a very nice brand of football. Competition is gradually coming back to the French ligue because, only one points separate PSG and lens something that has not been happening for a long time in the French ligue 1. From the way PSG is playing i will not be surprised seeing that PSG wins the champions League again this season.

Nice is 15th in Ligue 1. I don't think Nice can be a strong opponent for PSG with such poor form. So, if PSG win, it's a given. They need to keep adding points to maintain their position. Especially since they're only one point behind Lens. No more losses are acceptable if they want to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season.

As for the Champions League, with PSG's current form, it's still uncertain whether they can win it or not. There are other teams like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Arsenal who also have a greater chance of winning the Champions League. So, if they can reach the semifinals, that would be more than enough with their current form.

I actually think they can beat Liverpool and reach the semi-finals. They're also playing well in the French league, and almost no team is at their level. We knew Paris Saint-Germain wouldn't let a surprise happen against Nice, and they won four goals. I think they'll win their next match without any problems. Even though Lens has been performing well this year, I don't think they can beat Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG's performance has been a  bit erratic since the beginning of the season. We also said that PSG players are not in great form this season like last season. But they have gradually been able to improve their performance. PSG is  now much more organized and strong than before. They  have been able to continue their winning streak in ligue 1. They have also won both matches against chelsea by a large margin in the champions league match. It is expected that PSG will continue this streak against liverpool as well. Luis enrique is fighting for both Ligue 1 and champions league titles this season as well.

Their important players were not fit and the two best players went on an injury that lasted for a long period, It affected their performance in the League and even Champions League but when those players got back and fit, you can see how the team has improved so well. One player I think is not really rated as expected is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Dembele might be the key figure in the team but Khvicha is fantastic, he's the reason why winning Chelsea in the Champions League was much easier. Winning the Ligue 1 is possible but the Champions League would be tougher.

GiftedMAN, I totally agree with your analysis to why PSG hasn't been performing so well since the beginning of the season because when the two PSG key players that were injured returned back from injury, PSG's performance improved, and those two key players also helped PSG to trash Chelsea in the Champions League. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a fantastic player, and even though isn't rated as expected, anyone who used to watching PSG matches will know how good and important Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is for PSG.

Liverpool's squad is strong. But they are not in good form. Their performance is very irregular. It is difficult to say in which  match they will play well. On the other hand, psg is in very good form at the moment. They  played well in the quarter-final match. At the same time , they are also in possession of the top spot in ligue 1.

PSG has a higher chance of winning against liverpool. Liverpool's performance is irregular. The manager has not yet been able to stabilize the team. On the other hand , Luis enrique is a very experienced manager on the champions league platform. This is also  one of the reasons why PSG is considered a favorite.

[hyudien]

In their next match, Paris Saint-Germain will play Toulouse at home. We know that the chances of them losing at home are very slim. Therefore, I think they will easily win this match. However, Lens, who will play against Lille, may be far from victory. Their dreams of winning the championship continue, and if they want this dream to continue, they have to win against Lille away. They have no other choice, and dropping points is the last thing they want.

Yes, this is another easy win for PSG, especially at home, but I don't think they'll win by the same margin as yesterday's match, Enrique might rotate his players against Toulouse, considering they'll host Liverpool in the Champions League a few days later. But I'm still confident they'll get the three points in Ligue 1. As for Lens, their match was a bit more difficult to win, and it's not impossible that this will be another defeat for them. Lille has been in their best form in recent weeks.

In the French league, I expect Paris Saint-Germain to win without any problems. Even if the manager uses a rotated squad, I don't think they will drop points against Toulouse. Lens, on the other hand, will face a difficult match and there is a possibility of them dropping points. If they don't drop points, I will continue to watch Paris Saint-Germain in the same way. Paris Saint-Germain needs to rotate their squad in the league to win in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain will have hard matches against Liverpool in a week while having the most serious game against Lens in between and Lyon just after. Basically Toulouse game is the easiest one for them so yeah most likely this match will be played with substitute players while pushing some of the main squad if needed. PSG will not sacrifice the 3 points after all and risks seeing Lens defying them just after.

Especially since they're only one point behind Lens. No more losses are acceptable if they want to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season.

In fact, there is no guarantee that a weaker looking team will always lose to PSG. Yesterday, Nice was forced to play with only 10 men in the second half, which gave PSG more chances to score additional goals. Maybe if Nice had kept a full squad until the end of the match, the result could have been different or even ended in a draw. On the other hand, PSG this season does not have as strong a performance as they did last season. So actually, Nice still had a chance yesterday, but Ndayishimiye made a mistake that caused that opportunity to disappear.

[Velvet78]

There is no game in the league at this weekend due to international games. We are going to continue as of April 3 in the next round. Let's look at the last condition of the standings...

PSG and Lens are both far ahead of others. There is no way one of them go down more from top 2. Who are going to take the remaining spots of the Champions League though?

Top 3 goes there directly while the 4th-placed one has to perform in playoffs first.

[$weetne$$]

Something tells me that PSG is about to start the form they ended last season campaign with because it's the knockout stages of the champions league and that is when the seriousness have started growing on the team and I feel PSG will do everything in their power to make the league look very easy for them to win and if they continue with this same winning streak then Europe teams should be worried as they will come strong in trying to defend their title.

PSG will want to defend their champions league title at all cost and it is very evident in their performance in the Ligue 1 that they are not at the top with good points difference, they just seem to manage to get a few points to stay at the top and not loose that position while they give a good part of their attention to the champions league where they believe most of their strength should be invested in this season.

PSG certainly started badly but this doesn't make us think for a moment that this is a poor team, on the contrary, they are definitely the strongest in their league despite not performing as well as they should or as they did last year, repeating themselves is never easy and you don't always succeed.

[Just Say]

I will bet on PSG to win the match because I have confidence in them than Liverpool. Liverpool performance is not balanced and I don't think that it's possible for them to go beyond the quarter finals. PSG has taken the Champions League more serious than their domestic league just as Real Madrid always do. In the last three Champions league, they always go far than Liverpool and currently, they're the defending champions.

I also believe that PSG has a greater chance of qualifying for the semifinals because Liverpool's performance is unreliable, they have been very poor this season, and their game is still lacking, so when they meet PSG at PSG's home, it could be a good opportunity for PSG to be able to score more goals against them. However, Liverpool is also not an easy opponent, so they could spring a surprise if PSG is careless in their defense.

PSG is a mature team so we have to believe that they have the best chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of this season's Champions League but despite this Liverpool should not be underestimated because Look at how Liverpool lost the first leg of the UCL but then we noticed that they were able to get revenge against Galatasaray and won the second leg. Anyway, the goal for this team now should be to continue the winning streak, if they are smart about this, I think they can keep the title at home this season, even if it's a tough situation besides, it's correct PSG are already only one point ahead of Lens team.

PSG entering the crucial match after international break from facing Toulouse and three days later will face Liverpool at first leg Champion League match but at the weekend waiting by Lens before few days later playing the second leg match. Luis Henrique will make rotation absolutely for putting the main players at the bench but if loss from Lens has possibility loss the top standings position. I am waiting after international break regarding many PSG player will play for their national team back to the club with injury or not.

PSG currently leading top position in Ligue 1 behind 1 point remaining but still has postponed match against Nantes, now the Ligue 1 schedule entering the crucial with few matches left will this season Lens success destroying PSG dominance?

[Solodoski]

PSG has a better shot than Lens for the title race, they'll be playing a less tougher opponent compared to Lens that would play against Lille that's in fifth position. Well I feel the winner of the title would be decided when both teams meet after their next match, Lens form is great and they'll be very tough to play against.

 I doubt if theyll drop points now that the season is almost ending, not when Lens is very close to taking over first position if they end up dropping, that's one risk PSG won't take cause the trophy is very important to them as well as the Champions League.

PSG asked Lens to postponed the game ahead because of the game they have against Liverpool in the champions league but Lens refused. I understand PSG players will be affected by fatigue after facing Liverpool. Unfortunately, Lens is second on the league table, the advantage they have to go first on the table is if they play when PSG players are recovering after the game against Liverpool. The last time, PSG played in the champions league, it was Chelsea they defeated after resting for a entire week. Nantes granted them the rest while Lens is refusing.

Paris Saint Germain can still drop points before they finish the remaining matches of the season, Lens can still have another opportunity to top the table but they will still give it up for Paris Saint Germain because they have done that about a couple of times. Paris Saint Germain is targeting to win the Champions League back-to-back so they will definitely divide their attention to both the Ligue 1 and the Champions League games. Lens is not a trusted team otherwise i would have loved to see them win the title instead of Paris Saint Germain.

We must consider the fact that PSG has good squad rotation, they have a very strong and complete squad, which allows them to rotate key players without losing much quality. Even competing in the UEFA Champions League, they manage to maintain a high level in their domestic league games. This makes it easier to manage the pressure of playing in two competitions simultaneously.

Lens has a more difficult path. They still have two very complicated games ahead, one against PSG at home and another away against Lyon. On the other hand, PSG seems to have only one truly challenging game remaining in the league. They also have one game less, which is a significant advantage in a tight title race.

But I still think the game on April 11th will decide everything

I will be very disappointed if Paris-Saint-German request is granted by the French League One Management Association, because that would be very unfair to Lens, and if Lens also decides to agree with this request, because I absolutely don’t understand how a big club like PSG that has one of the best squad in the French League One and also the World would be asking for some time off so they can prepare well for the Champions League game against Liverpool, that would be a disgrace to the French League management body, because that can’t happen in the Premier League and La Liga, that request will never be granted or accepted and no club in the Premier League would ask for such opportunities, I would be very disappointed if this request is granted it would be a disadvantage to other teams in the Champions League.
