French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[free-bit.co.in]

It's mostly about people not betting on Lens. Oddmakers do not make up these numbers out of their heads, they make it up based on what people bet on. If the whole world bets on PSG and only a few people bets on Lens, then they can't give a rate based on that. Plus, in a few months the leagues are over, and you are getting basically 4% return on your bet, if you do that with Bitcoin, there is absolutely nothing in the world, no other place, no other possibility, where you could get 4% more bitcoin for your bitcoin in a few months.

Lens had a chance of winning the title if their performance had not been erratic. Lens performance had been quite erratic. As a result, it is a very difficult task for them to compete for the title. Lens had  won only two of their last 5 matches. If lens could have continued their winning  streak in these 5 matches, they would have had a chance of occupying the top spot of the table. Because psg  also lost points in two matches. PSG will be the champion of Ligue 1 this season. Luis enrique's main target is definitely the champions league. But he will definitely want to win the ligue 1 title as well.

Lens has the opportunity to compete with PSG because they were consistent, otherwise we would have seen PSG dominate like other seasons. It is not that PSG is doing worse than other seasons, in terms of performance they are the same as other seasons. The only difference was Lens' consistency. However, Lens failed to maintain that consistency until the end of the season. Since round 20, we have seen Lens perform inconsistently, PSG gave them repeated opportunities to go ahead but they failed to take those opportunities. If Lens can still be consistent, then they still have a chance to win the title. The difficult task is to beat PSG.

Yes it is true what you say the percentage of bettors influence the numbers, an algorithm calculates the averages and they publish the results.
But behind it are experts beyond the numbers who evaluate the matches and evaluate the performance of the teams, of course they are always evaluations that have nothing certain, but still as in my case the odds can influence the bet I place. The Bitcoin discourse in my opinion is different and not comparable.

What jostorres said is right but the bookmakers doesn't only make their odds based on what bettors think about a particular match, they use the teams form and other statistics to conclude on odds. Also what the majority thinks doesn't  always guarantee that it would be successful, let me use Arsenal vs Manchester City's match as an example, the majority thought Arsenal would win and they were even given a lesser odds than Manchester City which makes them favourites but at the end the favourites couldn't win the trophy.

Based on the number of engagements that PSG is involved in I think it is possible that they could still concede a couple of defeats before the season finally comes to an end, PSG are chasing the UCL and that's enough reason for them to drop points, I know the French league1 would give PSG some preferential treatments that could allow PSG play their matches on different dates that aren't in conformity with their real match days at least to help them perform better in the UCL but this doesn't mean PSG wouldn't flop, I believe the pressure will still be there as long as the title race is still there and the point difference isn't wide enough, PSG might still have some difficulties at the end.

the commitments in which they are involved must never be something that can influence a team, especially when it is a team like PSG that aims to win everything again, they must not even think about it, in fact they must try to win and never stop, if PSG doesn't win the championship it's over, for everything they invest they must win it

Winning the Champions League will not be that easy, that is why Luis Enrique is trying his best to secure the Ligue 1 trophy, because even if he later loses the Champions League, he will know that he still got a trophy in the season.

And Lens are not consistent, which I also said, that Lens have the potential of winning the title, but if they are more focused and consistent, it will be easier for them. But I don’t know why they keep playing like they are not capable, because any team that wants to dominate Ligue 1 must play better than PSG.

For Lens, they found it easier as PSG were not that strong this season, but still, it was very hard for them. I don’t think they will have this opportunity again.

In France, Paris Saint-Germain winning the league is now almost a certainty. While the point difference may not seem huge, the unseen difference lies in Paris Saint-Germain's consistent ability to win every game towards the end of the season. Lens is successful simply for being in the title race so far. They have performed well enough this year to challenge Paris Saint-Germain, surprising everyone. I would now consider it a miracle if Paris Saint-Germain didn't win the championship.

Bookmakers are currently pricing the title race as follows:

PSG - 1.04

Lens - 15.0

PSG's odds seem absurd given the risk that just one draw and one loss in the head-to-head match could deprive PSG of the title. If I were to bet, I would bet on Lens, although even here the bookmakers could be more generous. But it's still more pleasant to aim at 1400% than at 4%  Plus, losing a small amount of money on a risky bet doesn't seem as nerve-wracking as risking a large amount of money on a "safe" one.

Bookmakers take cashflow into account, but I still think the basis is their analytics (or rather, the analytics of those who specialize in this and supply odds to bookmakers). As for earning 4%, it only looks profitable compared to traditional banking, and you should consider the risk of losing your deposit  In my opinion, if you like such small but "reliable" percentages, it's easier to bet on absurd markets like "Will the US government confirm the existence of aliens" on Polymarket.

The point is, as long as there are some other important engagements such as the UCL that PSG would have to concentrate on then there might be chances that they might drops points along the way because there maybe times when the tension and trauma may hit the team so hard that it may also start to impact negatively on the team's performance and that's when things either go bad or worse, this was how inter Milan lost the title to Napoli last season as a result Inter's intense pursuit of the UCL.

Lens still has a chance to top the points table. PSG is not far behind. At the same time, since PSG is fighting for the Champions League title, it is not surprising that their performance in some matches in ligue 1 has been erratic. Lens will be able to top the table if they win all their upcoming matches. They will have to win the match against psg  in the second week of May. But lens will have to continue their winning streak in the next 7 matches, and this possibility is unlikely.

I just read in the news that Ligue 1 postponed the Lens-PSG game at PSG's request to help them against Liverpool. The decision was made without consulting Lens, which clearly wouldn't mind taking advantage of their rivals fighting on two fronts.
Frankly speaking, this goes beyond all bounds of decency. PSG already have one postponed game, now there will be two. I don't understand why the whole league should suffer (instead of only PSG suffering) and why Ligue 1 is helping PSG in the fight for the title, although PSG is already the main favorite? Shame on all sides.

I'm already (pleasantly) surprised by the fact that Lens are still up there, I didn't expect to see them fighting against PSG for pretty much the whole season. And at the same time I'm very disappointed by Marseille, they never had any real chance of competing for the title. I understand in the long run PSG have more players and a better team but Marseille didn't even really try.

the lens is really long-lived and is really becoming very challenging, and hard to beat, even if the situation could be to the advantage of Paris San German, they can also be incisive and continue to win to take the title from the Parisians, who seem to want to win the championship again this year.

Absolutely agreed! I just checked out the fixtures for Lens and didn't see a tight schedule for them. Most probably they wouldn't be okay with this postponement if they were asked.

Just because PSG is the powerful side, they are taking such action. What a shame... Thanks to this, PSG are going to have 5-6 days to rest before playing the rematch against Liverpool.

To PSG, it may not be actually very challenging to beat Lens but Lens may be able  to beat other teams so well that they want to displace PSG and win the title this season, but somehow it is looking so much like PSG will still stand strong in taking their position at the top of the table and winning  the title.

Lens have won only two of their last five matches. And that is why they have fallen further behind in the title race. If they cannot maintain their performance, it is not possible for lens to occupy the top spot of the table. They are  already behind. Now if their performance is also erratic, their point gap with psg  will increase further. Personally, I do not  think lens will be able to win the title. But lens is fighting hard. As a result, the ligue 1 title race has become quite intense  this season. We are not only  seeing PSG's dominance this season.

[verdinio]

That's what I think too, they'll win but with a very slim chance cause Lens doesn't look like a team that's ready to give up, they're trailing PSG so well that any slight mistake from PSG could make them miss the title this season. It's become bad for PSG that even a draw is very harmful so the only option is to be consistent till the season ends which would be tough but still possible. My second thought is that Lens could suprise us by being consistent too.

PSG can always make some mistakes and the teams behind them can always take advantage of them but i don't think it's easy for the lens, now they have to try to do well and not think about what PSG is doing but think for themselves and go on to do well and win matches, maybe then they can hope for a misstep.

Lens has given PSG the opportunity to win the title easily after all their efforts so far, trying to stay on top of the table. They dropped some points that made PSG to be ahead of them. I know that as the league goes farther, Lens will drop form.

PSG on the other hand is improving in performance currently, and I believe that they wouldn't allow Lens to overtake them again because this is the right time for them to be consistent till the end of the league.

Lens actually had their chance of making history in the french ligue1 as the club that brought an end to PSG'S  decades of dominance but they ended up blowing it up, I can't really tell what happened to Lens but I guess it had something to do with the mentality of the team, I think some teams need to learn how to build up their mental capacity to be able to withstand such situations as this, PSG have got the right mentality and that's why they do not panic whenever they lose the top position, indeed the other clubs in France need to emulate PSG.
