French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[GiftedMAN]

There are 2 very interesting matches for us to wait for in match week 8 in Ligue 1, those are the Marseille Vs Rennes and Lyon Vs PSG matches. Since the start of the league until now, PSG still dominates the Ligue 1 standings and no one can replace them.

Maybe this time we can hope to Lyon that they can make PSG lose their first 3 points in the league. I personally plan to choose Lyon in this match, I think at least they will draw against PSG. What do you think?

In addition, we also have the match Marseille Vs Rennes. Rennes have been doing pretty well lately, so I'm a little hesitant to bet on Marseille's win, even though this match will be played at the Velodrome.

I think PSG still has all it takes to continue their dominance in the Ligue1 because at the moment they have the presence of Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi, and the trio are all informed since the beginning of the season so it will be difficult for any team to replace them right now in the Ligue1 unless the players are injured or they lose form that's the only time we can expect things like this to happen.


I don't think Lyon can beat PSG because that's the only possible way for them to drop 3points because Lyon is not so good at the moment and they are full of inconsistency and they are not strong in their attack right now so am still going to give PSG a win in the match because they have all it takes to stand against Lyon and get the 3 points from away.


For the Marseille match against Rennes, it's going to be a fight between the two teams because Rennes is improving in their performance and they will want to get back to winning after losing 3:2 to Lorient last week but Marseille has a better chance of winning because they are informed and the home advantage is another good reason why they will win because their fans will cheer them up to victory.

Yes it is realistic when they prefer to focus on the Ligue 1. Suffering two defeats made it very difficult for them to qualify from the group stage. Talking about their opponents in this group stage, I can actually say that they are quite evenly matched. But Marseille has not been able to play that well to beat the 3 clubs that are its competitors. Maybe I can say that they are not ready for a higher stage like this Champions League.

To do well in the Champions League, an experienced squad is needed and the players must be confident. Marseille players may be parceled to play well in Ligue 1. But they are not experienced enough. And so we see a poor performance from Marseille in the Champions League. Qualifying to the next round of the Champions League is now almost impossible for them. So Marseille should try to perform well in Ligue 1 matches.

The problem is that the group they are in is also quite strong even though the quality is almost equal. Tottenham are seeded and Sporting CP. On the other hand, Frankfurt are champions in the Europa League, so it will be difficult for them to put on a good performance amid the siege of a team whose player quality is equal or even greater than them.
But even so of course they also can't give up on UCL because they also have to at least get points at the moment as they are Ligue 1 runners up and obviously it would be a joke if they couldn't get points at a higher stage.

Marseille will face PSG in mid-October. This is PSG's home match. If Marseille manages to beat PSG in this match then I would say Marseille is a worthy contender for this season's title. If PSG wins against Marseille then we will see PSG dominate this season as in previous seasons. And PSG will win the title at the end of the season. Personally, I think Marseille will lose their consistency very quickly and start going down the points table.

It looks like Marseille will find a tough opponent in mid-October because of their several meetings last season (20/21 and 21/22). Marseille have only won once when they played at PSG and drew once when they played at home in 2021. So this is a very tough opponent for Marseille because they have lost so many times against PSG, and it would be amazing if this season Marseille were able to make the difference through their best performance by beating PSG.

This match will be something that could make a difference in Ligue 1. Yes, if Marseille can win the game. It's a very tough job for them, and I can't think they're going to win this game. Because the Paris Saint Germain players are in good form. Neymar and Messi seem to have found their best game. Even if Marseille get points I think they will only draw.

For today match Auxerre vs Lorient and after defeated by Lens few weeks ago Lorient can return to winning track with get 3 winning streak and today they will attempts to get 4th winning from Auxerre and according to the records Auxerre too is not in the good shape because failed to win in the last 3 matches besides that i noticed too Auxerre defense was very poor this season and almost to conceded goals for each matches so if Lorient can utilized this weakness probably they can get 3 points and those who want to bets for Lorient the current odds is @2.55

It still sounds quite reasonable for Lyon to beat PSG in my opinion, this is not unreasonable, because in their last meeting at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon managed to draw against PSG with a score of Lyon 1 - 1 PSG. Nothing is impossible here. BTW, I've placed a bet for goals over 3.5, I'm pretty sure that there will be a lot of goals in this match.

For the Marseille match against Rennes, it's going to be a fight between the two teams because Rennes is improving in their performance and they will want to get back to winning after losing 3:2 to Lorient last week but Marseille has a better chance of winning because they are informed and the home advantage is another good reason why they will win because their fans will cheer them up to victory.

As I have said before that Marseille Vs Rennes match is a match that may have an unexpected result, we may find Marseille winning or Rennes, there will be no draw here. FYI, for odds on betting, I've seen that on 1x2 bets, we get @2.08 for a Marseille win, @3.6 for a draw and @3.55 for a Rennes win. Usually, when a team is more favored, we will get smaller Odds (below @2), with the Odds in this betting market, it makes me personally more confused and wondering about the results we will see.

2.55 for Lorient is definitely something quite good. It's a match between a club with 3 wins in a row against a club with 3 losses in a row.
I think Lorient's chances should be lower if you look at this but it seems the bookies may still not be too sure of Lorient even though in those 3 wins they scored 7 goals and I think this is still very big in terms of goals ratio.

It's just paper calculating because football is not like math where we can count it as the dominant champion. because the session just started, if happens like your count, the PSG domination will not be like expectation because we don't know next, maybe the player got injured or something happens in the middle session that makes the situation change.

[Distraction]

I'm thinking of preparing a Ligue 1 parlay with three matches. The most credible options for me are like below:



Honestly I feel pretty confident about the both teams to score choices. This match might be the time Marseille lose points after winning five matches in a row. Rennes are coming back from their Europa League with a sad result but I don't expect this to affect their league performance badly. They destroyed Auxerre 5-0 last week as you know and this should be a big motivation for them to fight hard against Marseille as well. I don't think any of these sides will have a big difficulty in scoring one goal at least.

Lyon - PSG might seem like a comfortable match for PSG for some people but I don't think so. Lyon are capable enough to get a point from PSG despite their recent bad results in the league. They have a better attacking line now and they should be able to score one goal here. Maybe we can see a scenario like Lyon score first and PSG find the equalizer a little late. A 1-1 result at the end maybe just as it was the same score last season.

Nice couldn't start the season well. However Angers are in a worse condition than them. Nice have a superiority to them in their last a few head-to-heads as well. This is a nice chance for Nice to continue rising after beating Ajaccio last.

In my estimation, Lyon will lose against PSG. although Lyon are playing at home but it's hard to stop SPG at this time.
As usual, Galtier will continue to use the main starting line-up, with a 3-4-2-1 formation. and it looks like SPG will continue its positive trend for the eighth game of the season. and if Lyon loses, it will be a loss in a row from 2 defeats in the previous match. however, regarding the outcome of any match can happen.

In addition we also have the match Marseille Vs Rennes. Rennes have been doing pretty well lately, so I'm a little hesitant to bet on Marseille's win, even though this match will be played at the Velodrome.

Well, this game is hard to predict. we know that Marseille have a pretty good record in Ligeu 1, but I'm not too sure they can win this match easily. as for Rennes, in seven games this season. they weren't too bad, three wins, two draws and two more losses.  but from the H2H results, both did not create many goals and the result of the last match was owned by Rennes.

[Jody.Drummer]

Lyon had to suffer two straight defeats before this week they host Paris Saint Germain at Parc OL. Yes, it is not easy for them in this match even though they act as hosts. Moreover, Paris Saint Germain are in good form with their winning streak. In the last match, Paris Saint Germain had to struggle to win the match when they hosted Brest who were at the bottom of the standings. But their difficulties in that match do not guarantee the same thing will happen again in this match.

yes I think PSG will win easily against Lyon, we can see this from Lionel's performance back to how it used to be. I saw in several matches, both in the league and in the UCL, Messi was back as hot as when he was at Barcelona. PSG will be eyeing a positive trend at a time when lyon is currently in a less good trend.

Indeed this can still happen but when we talk about betting I think if I were then I would not place a bet on Lyon because even if the chance of winning is still there, this is only a small possibility of all the possibilities.
I personally will still be at PSG for betting at this time and looking at the odds it's actually still very good for them.

Lyon's performance in their last 2 matches has not gone well and in this case if the form is still like this I think it will be difficult for them.
Lyon is one of the big clubs and an easy win is definitely not going to come for PSG but in this case PSG's chances are much bigger coupled with their getting stronger attack line and their trio are currently playing very well.

Still it is really difficult to be sure of anything about the Lyon - PSG game. Lyon have been losing for two weeks indeed but this is a special game for them anyway. I don't expect them to show the same level of performance against PSG also. PSG had a difficulty in defeating them away last season. They can experience the same thing again. Lyon will rely on their forwards to maintain their productive performances. Lacazette, Tete and Toko Ekambi all have scored 4 goals in the league. We will see how much effective they will be against PSG's wonderful trio.

I can't trust any side to win this game first of all. Maybe I might bet on a draw with some money. But my main bet for this game will be both teams to score. I don't doubt PSG to score and Lyon should also be able to do it as they haven't been having issues with that recently. PSG are going to be the biggest team they've faced maybe but they can still score one goal in this one also.

In his second season with PSG, Messi has a better performance but now he is playing like a midfielder, a play maker. Maybe it is what PSG really needs from Messi. They already have Mbappe to score goals but the appearance of Messi help to increase their unpredictable and dangerous attacking.

We see the connection of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe is very dangerous in this season. They must maintain the connection and avoid conflict of interest. If they can do this, I believe they will be able to win Champions League. Messi knows his career is counting down till ending. Just a few more seasons and he really wants to win another Champions League.

Federer recently announced his retirement and Ronaldo in this season has a terrible decrease in performance. Messi should feel fearful when age impact becomes bigger.

Not only Lionel Messi, but Neymar also looks to get his game back. I see the Paris Saint Germain players are in a rising form. This is of course advantageous for Paris Saint Germain itself. When their performance is below their best, they can still get point by point, especially at times like this (their performance is getting better).

PSG's gameplay is getting better day by day. With Galtier's help, they are able to stabilize themselves in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. PSG's performances are stronger than last season. Neymar and Messi are in form. At the same time, young Mbappe is playing well. Now I would say the only weakness in their team is the poor relationship between Neymar and Mbappe. If only the bonding between Neymar and Mbappe was better. And if Mbappe had not behaved so selfishly, PSG's performance would have been stronger.

yes that's right, I think Messi is the best playmaker of the decade, Messi's vision is clear for the team. and also who made messi the real GOAT. Not creating Goals, he can create Assists, not creating Assists, he can create Key Pass. Can't create Key passes, he can make and set the rhythm of the match. So it's very rare that we see Messi with a bad rating when he doesn't score a goal. like Messi, naymar and mbeppe have started to look solid and compact.

Although so far Mbappe, Messi and Neymar have been rumored to have a bad relationship but they show high professionalism when competing, with two great players flanked and able to provide accurate passes of course it will really spoil Mbappe in scoring goals, I see if the Trio PSG is getting more and more compact in playing and helping PSG win every game, and especially messi, although he now gets a different role at PSG but he is still able to show his prowess.
