French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rahmad2nd]

This week is an opportunity for Marseille to continue to stick to Paris Saint Germain at the top of the table by winning the match against Angers. Despite playing away, Angers is not a difficult opponent to beat by Marseille. Anger itself is now ranked 14th with 8 points. Angers is one of the teams with the worst defense so far, from 8 matches they have conceded 18 goals. That means they have an average of 2 goals conceded per game. Marseille should have recorded a win by scoring more than 2 goals.

It seems that in this match it is not too difficult for us to predict, Marseille has a great chance to win the away match against Angers. but in the last two matches, Angers have positive results after four matches with defeats. what is certain is that Angers will try to win this match to increase their ranking on the standings.

On the other hand, Igor Tudor's squad seems quite ready to carry out their away game. and Alexis Sanchez will continue to spearhead and try to score a lot of goals, I estimate Argers will lose by a score of 1-3.

Compared to what PSG has shown in the last season, PSG is doing quite well this season. In my opinion, they are capable of going at least to the finals of the Champions League this year. However, I think it is highly unlikely that they will be able to win the Champions League at the end of the season.

I suddenly start thinking that PSG needs to win the Champions League as soon as I look at the team they have right now, they have gained most of the world-class players on their squad. When I see the team they have, I start thinking they must win it. My belief is that PSG's actual goal should be to win the Champions League. Otherwise, even the players in the squad would have no reason to stay at PSG.

In my opinion, the composition of PSG is not balanced and the good results that they show against obviously weak teams will not necessarily be preserved when playing against strong ones. The Mbappe-Neymar-Messi trio is good in attack, but these players don't like to defend very much. When playing with Bayern - City - Liverpool, etc. it may turn out that in the phase when it is necessary to play on the defensive, the rest of the PSG players will play as if in a minority (for example, without one player) because of this trio. I doubt that Galtier is able to solve this problem.

it's still the beginning of the season and the points gap is not too far for all teams, Lille will face Lorient this will be very tough considering Lorient's performance is quite good in the last few matches and it's inversely proportional to Lille's unstable performance.

Lorient's performance in three matches in september was very good and Lorient managed to take wins in the last three games this month and if at the beginning of next month Lorient will play Lille, I think Lorient also need to play well and be alert because they (Lorient) have also been beaten by Lille last season so Lorient need to see Lille as a strong opponent even though Lille's performance is still less stable this season.

while Lyon who are winless in their last 3 matches will face undefeated Lens this season, it will be a tough match for Lyon.

Lyon and Lille actually in their appearance at the beginning of this season look almost the same with the same number of points as well. But for this season Lens still need to be wary of Lyon even though Lens have never been beaten earlier this season by another team. However, please note that Lens was beaten by Lyon last season and also had a draw when the two met, so Lens needs to play carefully if you don't want to be beaten by Lyon on October 3rd.

I agree with you, this PSG trio cannot be relied on to help defend when the team needs a lot of players to defend against attack. But of course they don't have to do it more often if PSG's midfielders and defenders are capable enough to play well. Messi is mostly in 1/3 of the pitch, so are Neymar and Mbappe, but I don't think it's a big deal if the other 7 players can handle it.

This season Ramos is very fit to continue playing, he is a good tandem for Marquinhos even though currently Ramos is not as strong as he used to be. Danilo, Hakimi and Verrati are also expected to contribute a lot in defence, so I think the lack of contribution of their trio in defense will not be too detrimental to the team.

Real Madrid's performance is stable and consistent. On the other hand, despite having many star players in the PSG squad, their performance is still not stable. But their performance is weak Nola has no chance. PSG has the ability to win against any strong team. But I would say their performance needs to be a bit more stable and consistent if they want to win the title. Otherwise, they may not be able to qualify for the Champions League final this season.

Yes, that's what they need, to play better and consistently, especially against teams that are at the same level or even better than them. And in the Champions League is where they really compete, because here they meet many teams who can be said to be on the same level as them. In the end it will prove to them whether they can be better than other teams or not.

Lens vs Lyon matches is always competitive. Lens has performed very well this season. They are yet to lose a match. They have been able to continue their good performance consistently. Lyon, on the other hand, has started the season well but has lost their last three matches. Lyon's squad is a strong one, albeit a bit off form right now.

I checked the statistics of the matches between Lens and Lyon. Lens has had no win against Lyon in the last 5 matches. Lyon won three matches. And Lens shared the points in their two home matches. My prediction is that the next match is also going to be a 1-1 draw.

Lens is unbeaten until week 8, but I don't think this record will last much longer if Lens competes with a stronger team. So far Lens have not met PSG in the league, it will probably be a tough challenge for Lens to maintain his record.

However, for the next two matches I'm probably sure Lens will be able to win it. Lyon and Lille are not strong enough defensively, it should be used by Lens to secure 3 points so it is possible for them to extend their unbeaten. For this week, Lyon will probably lose by Lens, because Lens is playing at home and also Lens is in good form to be expected to win.

Lens still unbeaten until 8 games with 5 won and 3 draw in this season, I don't really sure the unbeaten achievement from Lens can stopping by Lyon depending on table position standing Lens have 5 points behinds from Lyon and lock on 4th standing place with 18 points. Lyon settle on 6th position standing and have different 5 points.

Lens have advantage this time because playing home give more motivate to win, however on last 4 home match Lens always win and seem with winning record still can't unbeaten when have chance with playing home, different with Lyon until great achievement when away match success got draw only against with Reims and another left away match always loss.

I think Marseille is going to be at the top of the table once again. Currently, they are having a good run in the league. The truth is that I did not want them to draw against their previous opponent Rennes, I thought it would be a win for them. I am quite sure that they will be very determined to win and get back to first place on the table. Even though after the next match of PSG, I think PSG will retain the top spot. There is going to be a lot of interest in the next few weeks if Marseille can actually continue to pressure PSG until the end of the season, and who knows, perhaps PSG will also crack under pressure at some point.

Regardless of these considerations, if Marseille can't beat the match against PSG, it will be difficult for Marseille to lead the French Ligue 1 standings. Because Paris Saint-Germain is one of the strongest challenges for any club if it wants to rise and lead the table
Currently Marseille is 2 points away from PSG in 1st position, soon the two teams will meet, I believe the meeting will be decisive to see who will lead the standings between PSG and Marseille

Matchday ninth looks like it will be the moment for Lyon and Lille to hold back Lorient and Lens, this is the right moment for Lyon and Lille to close the point gap which is quite far now. If Lyon and Lille can't take advantage of this match to win, then of course it will be more difficult for them later to be able to penetrate to get a European ticket next season. Indeed, if we consider head to head at least Lyon and Lille have a good record but unfortunately, so far this season they have not looked well when playing away. Especially about Lyon from three away matches so far, Lyon have never won and only got one draw and two losses, with such a record it looks like Lyon will not win this match.

it's still the beginning of the season and the points gap is not too far for all teams, Lille will face Lorient this will be very tough considering Lorient's performance is quite good in the last few matches and it's inversely proportional to Lille's unstable performance.

while Lyon who are winless in their last 3 matches will face undefeated Lens this season, it will be a tough match for Lyon.

if you look at the statistics I think the chances of winning for Lyon and Lille are very small especially when they will play away.

Honestly, I think it is likely to be really challenging for Lyon and Lille to win these matches. I would have said they have a reasonable chance but as these matches will be away matches for them, it will be difficult for them to win. I think obviously Lyon and Lille will have to go for the win in these matches. But there is a high chance that both of these matches will end in draws. Lyon does have an easier match after this one, so playing for a draw in this one and winning in the next one seems a wise option. But for Lille, it is going to be more challenging because the upcoming matches are not easy at all.

Their biggest chance is to secure a draw and this they can still maintain but to win this will be very difficult although it would be good if they can win because at least there is still a club that can hold PSG to remain competitive .

Another news out of PSG is that Mbappe wants to find a way to send Neymar off, he is definitely a great player but he is acting too childish if you ask me. If they actually do that, and they get worse because of it because they will, then it’s all on Mbappe. By the looks of it he rather be the big fish in a small pond then be the big fish in the big pond.

I am shocked that players could have emotions about their teammates and impact the game because of it, I used to work in an office and I disliked so many of my coworkers and yet that didn't cause me to tell the management to fire them, I just worked and kept the chatting with them to a minimum.

Neymar is a really good player and is still in prime and this move from mbappe will be too childish. I was even thinking that they were really good friends. Neymar isnt even injured anymore so he plays always and i think mbappe isnt used to that and wants all the attention

Lyon can be said to have the upper hand now in terms of performance but for Lille this is clearly a different matter.
Even though the quality of Lorient is still equal even under Lille but in this case actually Lorient's performance is much better especially now that they will play at home.
I'll probably miss betting on these 2 matches because I'm still having a hard time betting on these 4 teams playing.

Mbappe is acting like the owner of the team after signing his new contract. PSG are responsible for this of course after offering an extraordinary contract to him to keep him at all costs.

However this can harm the team in the long term. We have witnessed the problems between him and Neymar so far. Now Mbappe's hand is more powerful and he wants to take advantage of it. Normally Neymar would like to leave the team at the earliest opportunity but he must be staying especially thanks to Messi's existence. I think that someday they will leave the team together maybe even for joining Barcelona again. But I don't expect Neymar to leave as long as Messi stays. PSG have no other choice than hoping for this not to reflect on their performances.

For now even I'm not sure they can beat PSG even with their good form at the moment.
Their biggest chance is to secure a draw and this they can still maintain but to win this will be very difficult although it would be good if they can win because at least there is still a club that can hold PSG to remain competitive .

Marseille and PSG when viewed from the results of eight matches this season are still both unbeaten, only Marseille have drawn twice so that PSG is ranked first in the standings at this time and it can actually still be won by Marseille from PSG if Marseille is still able consistent throughout this season, including having to be able to beat a PSG team that is still very strong in Ligue 1.

Although there is still a big chance for Marseille to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season, and the difference in points with PSG is not too far away.
As you said, Marseille is able to play consistently until the end of the season and can beat PSG when they meet PSG. So they can get the Ligue 1
trophy winner, but unfortunately the reality is not that easy for Marseille to make this happen. Moreover, Marseille does not have the quality of
players like PSG, so let alone beat PSG, playing consistently until the end of the season I doubt Marseille can do that. It must be remembered that
there are still some strong teams in Ligue 1 who have not yet faced Marseille, so there is still the possibility of Marseille dropping points in the next
few games. My prediction is that PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy again, it is too difficult for Marseille to end PSG's dominance in Ligue 1.
Moreover, I see PSG's performance getting better since Galtier became the new PSG coach.

Actually this is only a small possibility of another club that can win the title apart from PSG.
And I still feel that Lille in the 2020-2021 season is a rare fortune to have managed to bring the Championship Trophy. Other than that I wouldn't think any other club could afford it.
PSG are too different in any way so indeed I wouldn't even dare to speculate much about the championship because what is certain is that PSG will continue to dominate.

The decision has been taken and actually I still feel that this has been considered by the higher-ups there because it is certain that when there is a player who is considered special it will obviously cause jealousy from other players and this special player will be more difficult to manage actually.
I still regret this decision actually but this is the last step for them to be able to hold Mbappe so we can't talk much about this.
