French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Minecache]

I believe that the hosts are the clear favorites of today's match Lens vs Troyes. Lens started the season great, they are in the top of the table, have not lost the game yet and are playing really attractive football. Another advantage of Lens is its own stadium, where they have won all the matches so far. I bet on the victory of the hosts.

Undoubtedly, the Lens team is very strong compared to Troyes. Lens has a stronger squad than Troyes. There are plenty of talented players in Lens' squad. On the other hand, squad of Troyes will be slightly behind compared to Lens. However, Troyes's performance in the last 3 matches is very good. They have earned 7 points in the last 3 matches. Troyes managed to score 8 goals in these three matches. So now the party can no longer be called weak.
The match between Lens and Troyes is expected to be very competitive. Many people think that this is Lens' home match, so this match will be one-sided and only Lens players will dominate the match. But I don't think so. The match is highly likely to be a draw.

All fans definitely want the Champions League title even though they failed in the domestic league. But their journey will not be easy, now many teams are starting to slowly rise from adversity. They are the favourites, but there are many other favorites that I think are more favorites than Paris Saint Germain.
I think they have to solve their internal problems first if they want to win the Champions League.

PSG always targets to win the UCL every season, but they always fail to make it happen. Currently Galtier is expected to be able to realize the dream of the club president to win the Champions League trophy for the first time.
As for Ligue 1, only Marseille have the same points as PSG, but I don't think it will be difficult for SPG to maintain their ranking in Ligue 1.
Our concern is in the champions league. After beating Juventus in the first round I have no doubts that PSG will advance to the next round, but as you said, if PSG want to get two titles this season, it is not impossible for PSG to make it happen but on condition, they must prioritize teamwork.

The first leg defeat was by a single goal difference and in the second half PSG managed to escape a draw. If the can't maintain a clean sheet then eyeing the champions league will be like a lifetime dream. The three forward always wants to outshine themselves. The only way to force them to co-operate as a team is to slash their wages when ever the play selfishly else they might never win the champions league

Two incredible teams recently will collide today lens will face at home troyes they both had great results recently but lens team is on another level this season they are on the third place and still unbeatable, they will play at home which will give them a huge advantage i think they will win easily.

So far the hosts are in pretty good shape after winning 4 wins and 2 draws from 6 matches, a good start to the season has made Lens now in the top 3 while with 14 points, playing at home for sure Lens wants to keep a positive trend unbeaten this season in the league and also trying to snatch the top of the table from PSG, while the troyes who started the season quite badly are now starting to recover and of course they will also try to keep the positive momentum, both teams will definitely be aiming for a win and will definitely make the match will be fierce and difficult for both teams.

[hahay]

Gameweek 7 PSG will play at home against Brest which looks like PSG will win with a big score again, because previously Brest even played at home but lost 7-0 by Montpellier which basically Montpellier is a mediocre team. I can't imagine how PSG will make a big win in this match, because Mbappe and Neymar seem to have improved because in the Champions League yesterday Neymar made a good assist for Mbappe. With PSG's dressing room situation having improved, then of course they will be able to play better and it will be difficult to stop their performance.

Indeed Lens should not find it difficult to beat a team like Troyes in the form they are currently in. The lens is now third in the points table. They are yet to lose any match this season. However, despite Troyes losing points in the first few matches, their performance in the last 3 matches has been quite consistent. This is why the match is likely to be competitive. Lens will get the full 3 points from this match if competitive.

Yes, that's right. Head to head, Lens looks more dominant in the match later. In previous matches, Lens won 3 matches (Monaco, Rennes, Lorient) and lost 0 while 2 matches ended in a draw against Ajaccio, Reims . Lens managed to score 8 goals and conceded 9 goals ( 8-9 ). on the other hand Lens appears to be good at keeping the ball, having an average possession of 58.83% this season.

Every team deals with high egos, it is important to keep them in check at all times. Like for example Phil Jackson talks about how he never gave credit to Kobe because that made him work harder, but he always made Shaq known he is loved because he shines like that. This of course created a rift between them, but both played amazingly when they did.

So, manager has a big work where he needs to act according to each person, act as if Mbappe is the leader, act as if Neymar is loved, act as if Messi..well you do not really have to do anything with messi, he is just naturally amazing . So it is man management, not tactics that will make this team better.

Currently, Lens is only in three teams which are undefeated in this season which is good for them but on other side we have Troyes which is also having promising time with three early defeats now they have two wins and one draw in last three matches specially last game against Monaco is having good for them as they beat them on road with the score of 2 - 4 which is impressive.
 
But, here Lens are amazing at home with three wins and having done 10 goals which are not bad at all for them with this win they can keep pressure on other which are also fighting hard for top three spots Lyon and Lorient both are staying behind them with 13 points each and long season ahead waiting for many changes hopefully we will have quality game from these teams for higher rank in league table.

Lens keep their perfect home record with this win now they are at top of league table for one day as tomorrow PSG is going to host relegation zone team Brest and after this Marseille is going to host Lille which is going to be good entertaining match between these two teams which have potential for staying into top half of this season's league table with their performance and quality.

At the end, a good match for Lens as they were completely dominating in this and now allowing their opponents for playing freely with this defeat now Troyes good run is also ended as they were doing good in last three matches.

This round we have another exciting match as Lyon is going to host Monaco after losing their match against Lorient and end of perfect result of this season.

Lens is a huge surprise this season in the ligue 1 and hopefully they continue with the good results,too bad for those two draws that they had against weaker opponents they could have been perfect,hopefully they have a season like lille had a couple of years ago

So it is man management, not tactics that will make this team better.

All the talk of ego and quarrel in the team was laid to rest some weeks ago, they now seem a bit fine with each other and they are trying to work together for the good of the team, come to think of it, are we even supposed to put it on the manager to tell the players how to act and behave, they are professionals being paid a lot of money, they have to act like that when they are playing on the field, after the game they can continue their rift, that is if they have any. They were booed repeatedly after they were eliminated from the champions league last season, they should know better and not allow any rift stop them from going to the final this season, and even in the league, Lens, Lyon and Marseille are looking very strong, so they must get together and watch out.

With the current squad in PSG this season they can beat any team to win the champions league they are looking for but first of all I think it's too early to discuss about their performance considering the fact that they are still playing first leg of the group stage. PSG played better than Juventus in the game but looking at their performance I think they need more of teamwork and cooperation so that their ball communication in the pitch can be balanced. The issue of slashing their wages can not be possible unless their contracts will be terminated by the club then renewed again.

it all started before the end of last season, now they are in an unbeaten streak more than 18 matches, they don't really have a team with some stars, I think they play really well as a team, we can't really know if they will keep, they will lose in a match though, it happens to the biggest teams, so I'll keep an eye on them in future matches.

Didn't hear anything about Messi's speed even in his golden years  Unfortunately, we will never see Messi in the Premier League, and now it would be very epic:

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Casemiro when he sees Messi:

https://i.ibb.co/nmCwBVR/Kazemiro.jpg
https://twitter.com/trollfootball/status/1494009643236204544

As for Mbappe, he has every chance of finishing as Neymar, maybe even better due to his achievements with the national team, but he will never come close to the greatest players. Haaland is now on the right track, Mbappe is not.

I agree regarding Haaland being on the right track vs. Mbappe making questionable choices. Would be nice to see Haaland play some international tournaments with Norway as well.

You didn't hear anything about Messi's speed even in his golden years? I am not sure we are talking about the same players, but his speed when it came to acceleration with the ball on his feet was one of a kind. Just watch his best goals. One of them being against Bilbao in Copa del rey, I think there is also a speed analysis somewhere on YouTube. Or the one against Real Madrid when he started at the midfield line. I am not talking about these goals when a player just kicks it forward 30 meters and then runs after it in Usain Bolt style. Speed with the ball on rather short distances. I'd say he was the fastest ever when you put together acceleration, ball control and stopping from full speed to zero, then accelerate again. Let me know if you know a player who has done that better and maybe even more often than Messi.

You are confusing dribbling and Barcelona's game model in general. Messi was part of it, and the part that was replaceable - the Spanish team without Messi won two European Championships and the World Cup in a row, and Villa perfectly replaced Messi (do you even remember who he is?). Outside of Barcelona's scheme of play, Messi has turned into an average player.
Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Mbappe etc. shone at PSG, but can you say the same about Messi? 
PSG dominate France and it's easier for any player to shine here than in Lyon or Monaco, but so far only the ones I've listed (and a few others) have really done it.

Messi's style of play this season reminds me a bit of his early career style. Messi was a playmaker rather than a striker in his first three seasons with the Barcelona ace team. He was constantly feeding Eto'o and Ronaldinho, even if he had a chance, he was scoring goals, but there was no such effort to score an extra goal. During the Guardialo era, the scorer feature was prominent, and this situation continued a little out of necessity, especially after MSN disbanded in the following periods. At psg he returned to that first playmaker Messi again. But I think he's more comfortable in this role as well. He always expressed that he liked the role of playmaker more than the striker.

This is an analysis I share! Messi was and is a playmaker again. The way he does it is unbelievable. Many people watching him can't even understand how he understands the game. This is not to insult anyone, but it is the same when we speak about chess grand masters. They are just better than anyone else at what they are doing. Messi is brilliant in soccer.

It must be admitted because in reality it has been seen, although there are other players who are also almost as great as a Messi. But in any case it is clear that Messi once shone and became a football star with a myriad of achievements that he has achieved in the past and that must still be recognized at this time.
And it's true that there is no need to insult anyone because all football players always try to perform better and also strive to get a better career than others.

It is true that most people love Messi because of the way he plays his game,operating from midfield and also pushing front to score goals.If you look at what is happening in PSG now,you will love it,goals are coming in because of Messi,he is not selfish to score alone,he gives assist to Mbape and Neymar,he also create several chances for them to see goals,all those characteristics makes him outstanding,and makes him so special.And if we must say the truth,PSG will get to the champions league final this year from the look of things.

[Prince Malik]

Lens continue their historical run with 16 match without lose in league 1 and 22 match counting friendlies, this is really a good thing to see a small team doing such thing and im looking forward to see what this club could achieve this year

[bering]

Marseille vs Lille that last season Lille can beat Marseille twice on France league but i think currently will be different because Marseille had successfully improved their performance under Igor Tudor but Lille have to struggle to adapt with new manager so between both of teams i think Marseille had good chances to win the match and improved their record from Lille although on champion league they were lose from Tottenham but i don't think it will have an effect to their upcoming performance and the odds for Marseille is @2.0
