French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rahmad2nd]

Had big hopes on PSG and it was a big mistake, I don't care about their opponent because I think PSG will still win by at least two goals difference. But what happened they only won by one goal difference and in fact, PSG's second goal was made with difficulty. It turns out that their good performance this season is still not enough to break their narrow winning trend against Nice, even though Nice are far behind them in many factors and with their very low odds made me choose another option for handicaps and it ruined my multibet ticket because they only won narrowly.

Previously my estimation in this match, PSG can win the match with a score of 3-1. however, when I saw the line-up of the two teams, my estimation changed.
SPG will not be easy to score many goals in this match. the article, Galtier changed strategy and made Hugo Ekitike the main starter to replace Mbappe's position.
Galtier uses a 3-4-2-1 formation, as a result PSG have trouble scoring goals.
As for Nice, they tend to play defensively and occasionally attack if they get the chance. meaning, with the 5-4-1 formation used by Nice in that match, making SPG have to struggle to get a chance.
and luckily, with Mbappe coming in in the second half, he was able to take the opportunity and make it a win for PSG.

Nice is proving to be a difficult opponent for PSG, however they are atop the Ligue 1 points table. The only league where they are good is the French league. In comparison to other big clubs, we still struggle. It is possible that they would not do as well in a competitive league. A Champions League title is evidence of this. Everyone is predicting that they won't make the UCL this season, but perhaps this time they will prove us wrong.

PSG's version of Messi is like a god who takes care of his children, Mbappe & Neymar. Dribel, keypass, freekick and Messi's actions when he's not carrying the ball are already GOAT levels!
Looks like I'm starting to enjoy the psg version of messi. Messi barca is madness, messi psg is maturity, and messi argentina is perfection if they win the world cup.

Leo Messi is a demi-god in the club with an incredible performance, there's absolutely no match for him as he took a brilliant stunning free kick that have the parisians the lead but the goal was level by the Laborde in the 4íth minutes. All credits goes to Kylian Mbappe who retest back the winning to the club. Big win for Galtier and the players as we are looking forward for PSG to do better in the champions league. We all know that the Ligue one title belongs to PSG, no doubt but they need to go far in the champions league.

They will go far in the champions league this season, i do not doubt that, even for some years now they have been coming closer, they lost a final some seasons ago, so even if it is slow, they are making some form of progress, i think they will make it to the final of the champions league this season, i just have this feeling, i don't know if they will win it, but their players are showing signs of togetherness, and this connection may take them as far as the final. The Ligue 1 isn't too difficult for them to win, so they should use that to their advantage in the champions league, because they will not be as tired as other big teams in other leagues.

[Prince Malik]

An interesting match today between Lens and Lyon, Lens are In a great form and other hand Lyon aren't doing that well, I don't really know what to expect from this match but I think that both teams to score would the best option here even though the odds are not high, but I wouldn't mind adding it to a multi bet.

[Oneandpure]

PSG were under control of the match in both halves actually. Nice had only 4 shots in total and only one of them was on target. This proves how much PSG dominated the match however they couldn't reflect this onto the score very easily. They didn't start with Mbappe which might be one of the biggest reasons. He entered the game in place of Ekitike after an hour passed in the match and scored the winning goal of the match also. Neymar was very ineffective in this match by the way. If it was a Champions League match then their opponent would be more merciless.

PSG under controlling against with Nice last night success created 14 shots and 4 on target with Nice have 4 shots only one of target, seems not really effective for PSG played without Mbappe in starting eleven and faced difficult for scoring goals against with Nice. Actually worth substitute when Mbappe playing scored last goals for PSG and give 3 points to lead first position after taken by Marseille last few hours later.

But I assume that PSG didn't want to consume their energy too much in this match taking the Champions League match in a few days into account. Their minds must have been there mostly as they can guarantee their lead if they get good results against Benfica.

Actually PSG keep save their player energy by saving in the bench for Mbappe because preparing for next match on UEFA Champion League against with Benfica, although have significant chance pass to 16 round but PSG want to lock their settle become the first team success lead to knock out stage. Seems this reason why PSG keep saving Mbappe energy last night against with Nice although have to play him because PSG want to get draw result only against Nice.

Big win for Galtier and the players as we are looking forward for PSG to do better in the champions league. We all know that the Ligue one title belongs to PSG, no doubt but they need to go far in the champions league.

Currently PSG are strong at number one in Ligue 1 and have not lost in nine games. Currently only Marseille have tailed PSG with 2 draws and have not lost. Two points difference. Messi's arrival is right to make PSG extraordinary, they have become stronger and certainly more vaforit for the Ligue 1 champions again.
Their three forwards loading PSG's front line are capable of making opponents troublesome. I think it's appropriate to say they're able to perform better in the UCL this season. It seems that Messi is getting comfortable and can bring out his best ability.   

[emrecemsan]

PSG did the expected and won the match. However it wasn't a too comfortable win for them truthfully. Mbappe's absence was felt until he entered the match and he was the game changer as he scored the goal to win. If Neymar was able to play better there wouldn't be even a need for Mbappe. By the way Messi's free-kick goal was really a usual one for us to see from him.    It was nice to see advertising boards turning to "GOAT" after Messi touched the ball. 



PSG have a more difficult job to do these days because they are in a competition for the lead with Marseille on one hand. They need to concentrate on the Ligue 1 and Champions League at an equal level to maintain a decent form. I believe that they will still manage to do this successfully.

But what happened they only won by one goal difference and in fact, PSG's second goal was made with difficulty.

Sorry mate shit happens in football. Nice were impressive in their attack although not good enough to have secured a draw. At some point i was expecting a draw after the equalising goal by NICE because their defensee got so tight afterwards. But PSG had to play with so much team work and extra pressure before Mbappe could net the ball.

In the match between PSG and nice I also had High Hopes on Psg but I cannot say that they disappointed me. They were able to win and they also played over 2.5 goals so there is no disappointmen. We don't expect PSG to win with very high go margin every match. Remember last season nice got a very tough fight so they are no longer a small club. The most important thing is for there to be a win and nothing else

[Alanaz]

Maybe they can do it, maybe not - it's one thing to play "sub-optimally" against weak opponents and still win, and another thing to play against strong opponents (some of which I have listed) when every little thing matters. At the beginning and middle of last season, I observed an obvious pattern - when the trio played together, then PSG played clearly worse than when one of the trio was absent (either Messi, then Neymar due to injury). By the end of the season, the situation has improved, but this does not mean that this problem does not exist at all and it will not manifest itself in important games.

Actually this is also optional because when they are pressed, they inevitably have to defend and it is impossible to stay in front, but on the other hand, with their current condition, why should their trio be pulled into the middle of the field? to survive because of the complete dominance of PSG in the match.

Do you think that when playing against Bayern, Liverpool, City and even Barcelona, PSG will dominate in the center of the field? I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes.

In the meantime, PSG managed to beat Nice, but the victory was not easy, but this is normal for the game after the games of the national teams.

Maybe it's possible but it's unlikely, because even when they face big teams they always play like this. For example, when they faced Madrid in the Champions League last season they always tried to keep their striker up front and had possession of the ball even though they lost in the end.
At least being in the middle might be possible but for a team of their class I doubt they will come back and defend.

Today's last match of the French league, Lens vs Olympique Lyon, promises to be interesting. The favorites of the game are the hosts who have not lost the match this season. Lyon had a good start to the season but have lost the last 3 games. Both teams will probably want to fight for the top places in the league this season, so every point gained at the expense of a direct opponent is especially valuable.

Instead of having a lot of goals ...

I think the match might ended with very few goal as we witnessed that rc lens used to have a slight strict defensive line recently so i expect a final score like 0-0 or 0-1 for lyon to beark the lens unbeaten run. Not really sure about this but it's just my guts.

I bet to Lens to win today
In addition to playing with the status of the host, based on the performance Lens superior from Lyon in the last few matches
Lorient, Lens, Monaco are in 3rd, 4th and 5th positions in the standings, the overall performance of these three teams is not much different. And based on notes that Lyon lost from Lorient and Monaco, so the chances of Lyon winning today's match are very small

But in this match I will be in Lens.
Currently, Lyon's condition is still not good, especially with their 3 defeats in a row.
Even though in terms of team strength they can be said to be balanced but in terms of performance it is clear that Lens is better at this time so even though it's still at risk I will still be at Lens in this match.

The lens is yet to lose a match this season. Lyon, on the other hand, has started the season very well, but has lost their last three matches. The Lyon team is not weak. But now they are not in good form. In this situation, it is difficult to get points against a strong team like Lens. However, if Lyon's defenders play well, they have the potential to earn points.

Although PSG won the match by a 2-1 score-line, they fought hard for it. In the game against Nice, Mbappé scored the game's winning goal off the bench for PSG. Following Messi's wonder free-kick, Mbappe scores the winning goal to give PSG all three points. The French champions are two points ahead of Marseille, who defeated Angers 3-0 on Friday.

PSG quality is much better than Nice, so it's not surprising that many predictions prioritized PSG victory in that the match, but in terms of the game, Nice made it difficult for PSG to win the match even though they continued to dominate throughout the match, but PSG had difficulty scoring goals after Messi Free Kick goal happen, when the match was drawn 1-1 it seemed that the PSG squad had difficulty breaking into the Nice defense even though they continued to shoot, but fortunately Mbappe who came on as a substitute in the 59th minute was able to become a hero by scoring the winning goal for PSG in that match.

I didn't watch the same game that you watched I believe . I saw a team that dominated the game and PSG was amazing, sure they had trouble scoring a bit but they had plenty of chances and when a team has plenty of chances that means they dominated, the result of course matters but they won anyway. So, this is a game where we could say "it was only 2-1 win but could have been even bigger win" and that's domination to me.

PSG played very well, could be having some trouble playing together at the front three, Mbappe got in later on and scored, and I believe if they started with those three, they would have scored a lot more from the start. In the end, they managed to get the three points they wanted, and that’s important.

Olympique Lyon has lost their last three League1 matches. They will do everything in their power to win this match, even though it will not be easy, because doing so will help them move up in the league and make up for the points they have lost in their previous three matches.
Lyon's main goal this season is to finish in the top four, as returning to the Champions League is now their top priority, which is why they resigned Alexandra Lacazatte from Arsenal.

[Pesona1]

The lens is yet to lose a match this season. Lyon, on the other hand, has started the season very well, but has lost their last three matches. The Lyon team is not weak. But now they are not in good form. In this situation, it is difficult to get points against a strong team like Lens. However, if Lyon's defenders play well, they have the potential to earn points.

The first half has now ended and Lens managed to show a solid game at this time, seeing the game of Lens and Lyon in the first half which was quite balanced certainly makes the second half match  more interesting to watch later, so far Lens can still be consistent and I hope Lens will continue still able to maintain an unbeaten record until the match ends later, in the first half both teams played quite carefully and it was seen from the few opportunities created until the first half ended and If there is no change in strategy from both teams in the second half, then I think we will see a draw which will be the final result of today match.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Lorient are the most surprising team of the season so far. They have got 22 points after nine weeks passed and we see them only three points away from PSG also. They have beaten quite strong teams compared to them like Rennes, Lens, Lyon and lastly Lille today. By the way the win against Lille was really dramatic. While they were 1-0 ahead they got a red card. Lille scored the equalizer however Lorient still found a way to score to winning goal in the last minutes.

This is a really difficult thing to do for them normally. But this proves how much strong they are mentally now. In a month they are going to host PSG which is a candidate to become an interesting game. We all know how strong PSG are but maybe they would have concentration problems after having a tough game vs Juventus in the CL a few days before. Anyway, let's see how long Lorient keep up the good work. They are on a long road to be able to finish the league in top 5 to qualify for a tournament.

A narrow victory was presented in this match, actually I expected something more in this match but this is too monotonous with a club of their class.
I was sleepy watching their game play the ball in midfield but the goal was scored 10 minutes from the end through the Sotoca Penalty.
Even if it's boring this result is definitely good enough for Lens.
