French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Iranus]

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.

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.

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.

Messi is a key pillar of PSG's performance. He also plays the role of midfielder when needed. Messi has always been the main scorer in Barcelona. But he lost his position at PSG. However, he has managed to adapt himself to the new position quite well. Neymar and Mbappe are not playing badly. Their performance is quite commendable. But some of Mbappe's selfish behavior is quite visible. He ignored Neymar in almost every match. He doesn't want to pass Neymar. If he could establish a friendly relationship with Neymar, it would be beneficial for Neymar, Mbappe and PSG.

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.

I see that you prefer to bet on the favorites, but betting on BTTS Yes with odds of 1.45 in the game Lyon - PSG is simply ridiculous. In my opinion, it is much more profitable to bet on BTTS No with odds of 2.64 in the same game. I made such a bet in the game Bayern - Barcelona (the chances were more than 3 lol) and won.

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.

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.

Messi is an ideal playmaker. He can change the scenario of the match at any time. More importantly, he can adapt to any position. I would say Messi is the reason PSG's performance is so stable this season. They are playing well in every match. However, they have some strategic weaknesses. Galtier should look at the small mistakes in the match and solve them.

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.

Which bet? 1x2 or handicap?. For the 1x2 market itself, I don't see good odds if we go for PSG's win, only @1.63, although it's very likely they will win this match, but with the current odds, I don't think it gives any interest. Better to choose a handicap bet, even with a smaller chance, LOL.

Well 1.63 is a decent odd on PSG and i think its a really good despite how good PSG is. I expected at least 1.45 on PSG but i guess the bookies think it will be a lot hard for PSG to win. For me a lock is over 2.5 goals i can see this game with lots of goals from both teams

Lorient amazing run is going on as now they are looking for fourth win in a row which is going to give them third spot in French League table after end of first half in today match against Auxerre at Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps (Auxerre) they are leading by 0 - 3 which is surely best from them after having two early defeats now they have good run beating Lyon and Nantes and now ruining Auxerre is not task which were anyone looking for if they keep going like this then surely it's going to be amazing for them as many big teams are struggling in this season and their run can give them good advantage at the end of this season now in next round they are going to host Lille which is also having not good season until now.

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'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.

I think there is one more scenario where not only PSG will beat Marseille, but they will keep on winning until that day, whereas Marseille will lose a few games. That could result with something like 5 or more point difference until the game and closer to 10 point gap after the game.

I am not saying that it will happen that way but people do not give enough credit to PSG these days because of the points Marseille has, look at the goal difference and you will realize why PSG is a much better team, and I mean like MUCH better team, even when the points are similar. PSG will not only beat Marseille, but they will guarantee their championship after that game if you ask me.

Currently the odds already increased to 1.64, if you choose over 2.5 goals odds are less than 1.37. The first option is better if only PSG win, but maybe I agree with furius7 Lyon have lost last 2 matches it's small possibility that they can win tomorrow, I personally haven't made my bet this time and still thinking harder, but over 2.5 goals are not bad either.

The things Lorient players are doing were not expected and yet its really amzing they barely survived relegation last season and they had a tough start in this one but they managed to turn things around with four consecutive wins and against tough opponents, it will be hard to keep going like this until the end of season but they should profit while they are in such a good streak and secure as much points as they can so the rest of the season will be relatively easy.

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.

Lyon is very unstable team, even in the previous season that was an obvious thing.
Lorient shouldn't be better than them, yet they lost vs them. Monaco was struggling and Lyon saved them to get closer from the other teams..
Now they have to face PSG this Sunday with an odds of +4.5 vs 1.6 for PSG. Good luck.. Getting a draw would be an achievement imo

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

But no matter how impressive they are in Ligue 1, it will only be considered a matter of course because with the squad they are now in Ligue 1 it's just for training in my opinion because there really isn't anyone who can really be a competitor there.
As for Mbappe and Neymar, this problem has become a recurring problem from season to season because when we saw last season it was also like that but until the end they still performed well.

In this case even though 4.5 is tempting but 1.6 is something that does look more certain
As you said Lyon are unstable at the moment, the performance is unpredictable because sometimes they play really well but sometimes it's the other way around.
At the moment PSG's front line especially their trio are in very good shape so I think if Lyon try to match PSG in attack then this is bad for them.

Lyon loses both matches on road and their home record is 100% in their last four games even these all games against low quality teams but still good for them and PSG away record is also 100% with good number of goals, and they have conceded only one goal in their last away four games with this all situation I am feeling if someone wants to bet then just two options are surely good for him and can give good profit first is over 3.5 which is currently at @1.90 and Second is over 2.5 and PSG even this second one is risky for me because I am feeling this match can end in draw as well but still a good for punters to have good profit from this match if they are brave enough to have place bet on these options others like PSG ML and over 2.5 are having not good enough profit for place bets.

Lyon have suffered 2 defeats in the last 2 weeks and will probably be defeated by PSG this week. It will be sad for their fans because they will rank far behind in the league. Even though we don't expect much, I would like them to play like the old Lyon and at least get better results.
Looking at the current team, their roster is not too bad, but losing points for 3 consecutive weeks will be a bad situation for any team

Lyon is a renowned team in Ligue 1. And a strong team. Despite losing the last two matches, Lyon's performance in the previous matches was quite good. Although Lyon is a good team, they don't seem to be able to win against a team as strong as PSG right now. PSG is in great form. The attacking trio of Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe have been consistently playing well. So I think PSG will beat Lyon easily and score more than two goals.

I think for now it's at least a reasonable result but indeed, the hope for Lyon to get a title feat like in the past is there but I'm just looking at the reality for now. Regarding the match against PSG for matchday 8, it is certainly difficult for Lyon to get points, but even if they lose, at least Lyon will still be in the top 10. Even though Lyon this season has only focused on the local league, but they are still difficult to be consistent at least for the top 3 positions. Therefore, I say it is natural for Lyon because at this time they are only a team that is struggling in the middle of the table at least just to get tickets for the Europa League next season.

Lyon have had a bad week after suffering two defeats away from home, defeats to Lorient and Monaco even more difficult for Lyon when they host PSG at Groupama Stadium. PSG who rule the table are yet to suffer a defeat this season, Christophe Galtier's side dropping just two points in their draw against Monaco. The good results that have always been achieved by PSG are very difficult to stop, especially ahead of this match Lyon have not been good in their last two matches. Even though PSG are the visitors this bet on Lagai will put PSG as the winner.

Lyon was defeated in the last two matches. But both were away matches for Lyon. Lyon has been performing well in home matches this season. Lyon has won all three home matches. Lyon managed to score 11 goals in these three matches. Lyon will also play at home against PSG. So it would be foolish to think that Lyon's players can beat PSG easily. The match will be competitive. I would say both teams have equal chances of winning.

Betting on goal over 3.5, isn't it more risky? but considering that both teams often do goal scoring a lot this actions could be a good opportunity, I will think about it thanks.  If this match ends in a draw, I have more doubts because I see the top 3 standings get the same points, so my guess it could be sir Galtier will field their main team to get full points in this match. By the way, Good luck with your bet savetheFORUM.

Yeah I tried to have safer picks. I thought of betting on both teams to score at a low odd like this twice actually. But it feels like picking both teams to score - no is very risky for a match like this. I don't doubt PSG to score even a bit. Lyon are also not having any difficulty in scoring these days. Maybe there is still no guarantee but I won't change my first picks as a principle. 

By the way your tactic is nice of course. Almost everyone was expecting both teams to score in the Bayern Munich - Barcelona match. But Barcelona couldn't score despite having many important goal chances. It is really all about luck sometimes. I just hope not to come across these times. It would be really disappointing if my bet for the Marseille match wins but the one for the PSG match loses.
