French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Monaco and Marseille both have difficult games ahead. Lens and Strasbourg are not easy opponents to defeat for them. These teams are still fighting for a goal in the league table now. But I think Monaco and Marseille will still manage to win these games by close gaps. And they will keep their current place at the same time. Rennes are still dreaming about the Champions League but it doesn't seem likely to happen. I think they lost their chance already in their Nantes game.

Yes, I agree both teams have difficult opponents but I still expect them to win this match, both Monaco and Marseille. and I don't expect Monaco to lose their second position in the standings at this stage of the season. These games might be close but should be winnable for them. I really don't think there is any hope for Rennes right now.

As far as I know, it's the goal difference that counts. Monaco is obviously ahead in terms of goal difference. but there Is still one match left for Monaco and they will play against Lens. They should be able to win that match and hold onto their second position in the league.  

I think they will be able to finish in the second position. Because Marseille has a tough match for their last match which is against Strasbourg. I don't think Marseille  is going to be able to win that match I think it will be a draw.

Monaco have 4 goals more than Marseille but depending with Monaco match result against with Lens if success win actually lock ticket automatically to champion league next season without have play off round, maybe still waiting with Marseille can finish on 3rd position or giving ticket for Rennes but this team have win against with Lille if want play on champion league next season. I think favorite with AS Monaco and Marseille will get champion league ticket than with Rennes because Marseille just get draw on last match have enough play on champion league with play off round.

I said before that Monaco were the team I was favouring for the second position at the end of the season. But their job isn't going to be comfortable as well. Because they have a game against Lens away. Lens still have a chance for capturing the fifth position but it depends on their winning against Monaco in this game. It still seems to me as a far possibility now. Because Monaco have been on a great winning streak and they have a bigger morale than their opponent. As they need to win too, I believe they will do this. Marseille still threaten them by having the same points with them so Monaco need to perform with all they have got.

Nice team is on fire in this end of season they won their last three games and this week game was impressive they made a comeback after being 2 0 behind against one of the relegation zone teams we know how difficult it is since they desperatly need the points, with this win we will see an impressive competition for the european spots in the last two rounds.

If the truth is that this becomes more interesting especially to win the UCL place, I am really surprised by Marseille, and Rennes have a lot to lose if they do not win against Marseille, it would be a great shame if they could not do anything against this team because so much effort, because it is not for nothing but Rennes has shown heart, what surprises me is that they let Nantes win, it is an impressive thing, they have everything in their hands to be able to access, if everything goes well for Rennes mathematically they may not lose their position, but they are hanging by a thread to get out of their ranking position.


For me both Monaco and Marseille will be the teams that will keep their places and will not lose more, it is not to underestimate the other teams but I think that good results can be achieved for them due to all that they have fought to be so close to achieving a good position in the classification.

Messi problem is just that he was groomed at Barcelona and that system has brought him that far. He has too go back else same will repeat itself next season. The Barcelona president says he will welcome him back if possible.

Barcelona had a well organized team that suits Messi's style of play. He had all the assistance he needed to score goals. Messi was like a demigod in Spain and even match officials respected him so much that they sometimes favour him. But France is a different place, although he is already famous but he needs to earn his respect in PSG. The brace he scored against Montpelier were all gifts from Kylian Mbappé. Kylian's passes were are masterclass and Messi had to put little efforts to score the goals. Messi can only survive or perform better next session only if PSG players continue to assist him with goalscoring passes because he is a master in ball control and finishing.

Messi and the whole Paris Saint-Germain will be much more difficult next season if Mbappe does leave the team, because the Paris club's game largely rests on the efforts of this player, who constantly keeps his high level unlike many of his star teammates. As I said before, I can't imagine what should happen for Barcelona President Laporta to say that he would not be happy about Messi's return to the team. Another question is that this can only be an act of politeness and I don't think Barcelona will make any efforts to bring back its famous pupil. Therefore, I still think that Messi's immediate future is connected with Paris Saint-Germain and the player should already adapt and bring more benefits to the club, especially given the very likely departure of Mbappe.

PSG would be in a very tight position if Kylian Mbappe leaves the club for Real Madrid. His departure will also affects his teammates like Leo Messi and Neymar Jnr. Mbappe is a player that have a positive influence in the team although he is still a young lad that has many years to play football, Mbappe needs to make to better decisions, perhaps not all decisions are always right. Like the one that happen to former Chelsea big 10, Eden Hazard. He made the wrong choice when he joined real Madrid and that was the beginning of his setbacks in football.

Maybe right now you brave predicting for AS Monaco can finish on 2nd position place, but at the early Ligue 1 begin difficult for predicting AS Monaco can finish on automatically ticket with champion league spot standing next season. AS Monaco keep consistent and winning last 7 match before and I think most amazing performance how can up until 2nd position standing, one step left for AS Monaco close Ligue 1 season with second position standing if success win on last match against with Lens, good chance because can play on champion league next season for AS Monaco without have to play on play off round.

@AndySt I don’t think that Barcelona want Messi back, because they’re planning a team that’ll be based off young player’s and Messi may have one or two seasons left before his form starts to fade, hence I don’t think that they’ll want to build the team around him anymore. Furthermore Mbappe absence will allow Neymar and Messi to flourish, and joining Real Madrid didn’t harm Hazard it was his own action of not being fit during the preseasons that harmed him.

I personally think Mbappe's departure is not a problem as long as PSG have the right coach, if PSG still keep Mauricio Pochettino then even if they keep Mbappe it will be the same as before. PSG basically have to move on and let Mbappe go but PSG have to recruit the right coach, that way I'm sure PSG will be fine. We can see in many cases when the golden players in the team want to leave but are detained or not allowed and then there are those who let them go, but in the end the teams that were left behind by the golden players they succeeded in the Champions League.

Bigger problem if Mbappe departure and getting new club on next transfer window, this season Mbappe as top scorer for PSG and success created 25 goals and I think if PSG losing him who will scoring many goals next season. Not see with Lionel Messi can replace position leave by Mbappe but have good credit with Lionel Messi success made 13 assist in this season. Maybe if really left by Mbappe, PSG need finding the same level quality player and really bad decision not only with Mbappe but also Angel Di Maria have confirmed leave PSG in this season after his contract over.

In this case maybe I look at messi to increase their popularity because if you expect sharpness at this time it might be too late. Apart from his age, he also doesn't seem to be playing loose and is very different when he played at Barcelona before.
But in terms of popularity, PSG is much more improved, especially when Messi comes in. popularity and sponsors who come are very many for them and it is still quite profitable in terms of financial.

PSG team might lose Mbappe this season to Real Madrid. PSG president would do everything with his capacity to retain Mbappe in the team. The young lad was even offered to be in charge of  projects in the team, all these are done just to make the player to change his mind to be in the team. I guessed Mbappe will go where fits him, and I think real Madrid suits Mbappe more than PSG because he would play with new teammates who are of the same age circle.

[buwaytress]

Yeah, Mbappe loss isn't so bad. They've been waiting for it to happen all along, but those below PSG will sense their chance has come: anyone willing to put an outright on Monaco next season?

Think KTChampions already summed it up for the French today. Marseille/Monaco cannot lose, Rennes as I've pointed out want to win this to get the final CL spot in case either of those two slip up, so I'm looking for a nice acca today of backing all three to win, despite the threat from Lens and Strasbourg, I think every team is almost at its fittest, freshest, in a long time and form will carry all of them tonight.

[Ratash]

Today we will confirm who will be relegated and go back to ligue 2 in my opinion saint etienne chances are higher since metz team will face psg a really tough game and i don't see them getting any points so saint etienne team will only need one point to be in the playoffs.

from what I see on TV, Mbappe has a higher chance of staying at PSG than going to real madrid, if there was any change in him leaving PSG then everyone would already be aware of it because Mbappe himself would have said that, but as of now he has a lot of suspense so it means that PSG is already managing to convince him to stay in the team, besides in real madrid even if he is a very good player he will not be king as he is being treated at PSG, real madrid is a team that already there were many stars, and all the stars left and real madrid is still a great team, by which i mean that in real madrid they will pamper Mbappe as PSG pamper him, I think Mbappe should stay at PSG

Even though PSG are doing everything they can to keep Mbappe but I think their efforts will be in vain, because players who have talent and players are still young, of course they will chase everything, they are chasing money but they expect titles, because it's useless in exorbitant salaries but titles. They didn't get a single champion's league, I believe Mbappe moved to Real Madrid because he wanted to lift the Champions League trophy.

Whoa shock turnaround man, just saw the breaking news. Not long after I was just considering to book outright on Monaco next season, looks like we've got a proper end-of-season shock turnaround.

Mbappe will stay.

Not announced yet but once it goes to breaking news like this, you don't see it being retracted. 3 year contract, he's supposedly even already informed RM prez and Poch. No surprise, he gets paid more than what Real would have offered. Kind of makes me rethink my view of the guy. Still like him but honestly thought he'd go and get a new challenge while still so young. Real will be heartbroken.

PSG vs Metz, I Think PSG will win easily against Metz. PSG have more strong team than Metz.PSG have strong team in any opponent in Ligue 1.I think Metz will be better played today match.PSG have some star player who can change the match score.waiting for exactly what happen in last time because everything will be happened in football match.

I saw Romano's tweets on social media and it's almost 100 per cent likely he will stay now.
Actually in this case I still want to see him in the Madrid shirt now but indeed he seems to have decided to stay in France and this could be very good for PSG because they don't have to bother now to find a replacement for their top scorer next season
