French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Lille fell behind 1-0 early in the match. Brest appears to be the better side so far. Lille has rotated their squad, likely with an eye on their upcoming Champions League fixture. This Champions League campaign is crucial for Davide Ancelotti having lost both of their opening matches, they will be determined to secure a win at home against Galatasaray. Consequently, they may not have placed as much emphasis on this game against Brest.

PSG is back on top of the tabel and I am banking on Monaco to lose their match because those guys are yet to lose a match this season. Monaco will play Lorient and I know it is a winnable match for them on paper but Lorient might just pull a rabbit out of a hat kind of moment on them because last season they actually beat Monaco twice so there is still some hope for them. Although not under Filipe Luis but this is football and miracles do happen every now and then.

Currently, both teams are on the same points, and Monaco are still at the top of the table. Seriously, I want Monaco to win, but if they cannot win, they should at least be able to draw the match. They should just try to get even one point from the match so they can remain at the top of the table.Despite the fact that PSG may end up winning the league title, Monaco should be a threat to them, just like Lens were last season when they were able to stay at the top for some time. This makes the league more interesting because people's hopes are divided over which team is likely to win the league title.As for tomorrow match, looking at their recent head to head records, it seems that Lorient have had a good record against Monaco recently, especially when playing at home. So, the game may be really difficult for Monaco to win, but they can still possibly find their way out and get a good result.

Luis Enrique and his boys at it again, rested 8 - 9  players that played against Manchester City in the champions League, went behind in the half, reintroduced 5 of those starters and scored 3 goals to win 3 - 1 full time, Dembele even missed a penalty but that wasn't a problem. Enrique has built a squad that is being used for different competitions, that's a strategy and I admire that from him. It takes a great coach to have this kind of squad, add more stars and still try to satisfy these players by giving them game times. Real Madrid once had a team like this, Barcelona once had a team like this, Bayern Munich I think too once had a team like this and Manchester City, under Pep once had a team like this, the difference is that they didn't last more than a season because players were not properly utilised so they wanted to leave. Look at Enrique, using his team properly and people are complaining, lol.
