French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Mbappé has scored his 100th goal with PSG in the match against Montpellier (PSG won 3-1), at only 21 years old.

More generally I heard on the radio that there are talks between the best European clubs of making a championship between them, because in each country there are not enough good (rich) clubs to have interesting championships.

Congrats to him. He has created a name for himself at a young age, that's definitely something to write home about. If he continues putting in the work, at the rate he's going,  it won't be long before his name goes down the history books. Coincidentally, Lionel messi made a similar feat in 2010 when he scored his 100th goal for Barcelona. That's like a decade ago. Talking about the championship, it would nice to see a championship with some of the best clubs in europe actively participating.

Last night, PSG lost to Lyon 0-1 in their home stadium. To be honest, I wasn't expecting a result like this. I think that Lyon got a deserved win. PSG weren't too good. Besides, it is sad that Neymar got injured. I hope he won't be away for a very long time and we can see him on Barcelona matches in CL.

@ILuckyGuyI PSG didn’t look strong on the field and it showed off, as they allowed Lyon to escape with the three points, and this result will only increase the pressure on their head coach. Furthermore I was very upset with that horrible tackle on Neymar, and I hope that he recover soon, and doesn’t suffer a long term injury due to that horrible tackle.

Skip the childish characteristic of Neymar I agree that he is very unlucky player. In the times he had best forms, he got serious injuries. It happened in the World Cup 2014 in Brazil with the match against Colombia (serious lung injury), in the season before the World Cup 2018 (he only came back few weeks before the World Cup), and this season he got another injury when he was one of the most impressive player in the Europe. In the last season, after the World Cup 2018, the position of Neymar in Parc de Princes was almost taken over by Mbappe but this season Neymar shown he is still the best or one of the two biggest stars in PSG. I understand how disappointed Neymar felt and cried (not only about his physical hurts), he lost his chance to beat Messi and Ronaldo in the race to Ballon Dor.

Good luck to Neymar to his return after fully recovery.

After losing to Lyon in their home match, PSG will definitely want to win against Lorient. They are playing really nice now and I think that they will win this match easily. I think that Lyon will beat Brest without having difficulty too. Monaco got an unfortunate red card and I wonder whether they will manage to turn the game around.

All statics going with PSG as they have more then 85% ball possession and some good efforts on rivals goals but sadly after 37 minutes still unable to score any goal I am feeling we have too many shocking and unpredictable matches in current season so any result still can happen here Lorent is currently on 17th and most chances they wil lost but by very low margin.

There are going to be a match between Nice and Lyon tomorrow night. Nice did a really good job on their last match against Nimes. They managed to score 2 goals after getting a red card and won the match. But they have too many injured players and I don't think they can resist to Lyon in this condition. Lyon couldn't win the easy game against Brest last Wednesday. I think they will be really focused this time and get the win here.

Even though in the previous match Nice could win the match even after getting a red card, because basically Nice even controlled the game well from the start and also, Nimes is the bottom team in the table. For the Nice-Lyon match I doubt there will be 3 points in this game tomorrow, although Nice has a lot of injured players but maybe they can still hold a draw, at least Nice has the advantage of playing at home.

Lens surprised me by winning 0-3 against Monaco three days ago. I know that Monaco got a red card but we are talking about a powerful team in the league. They are playing an away match against Metz now and they are 1-0 behind. They are the dominant team in the second half. They may score a goal and get at least one point I think.

Metz won this match easily by 2 - 0 and right now we have match between Marseille vs Reims first half going to end both teams level on 1 - 1 after Marseille Nagatomo's own goal hopefully we will have some more goals in this match as Marseille is fighting hard for going through in top 3 spots.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I am really surprised that how Marseille couldn't manage to beat Reims today. When we look at the statistics of the match, we clearly see that Marseille were the dominant team here. They really wanted this win but their effort wasn't enough for the win I am afraid. They lost to Rennes three days ago and now they couldn't get a win again. But I don't think that they will lose their focus. They are one of the best teams in the league this season.

@Indymoney PSG played it cautiously in the first half, but in the second half they were able to score two goals and earn those valuable 3 points.

Lastly I’m expecting them to win against Lille, because they’re finally starting to play like league champions, however I’m concerned too because of Neymar’s injury, and hence wanted to know if you’ll recommend to wager on them or to avoid wagering on them till Neymar returns?.

Yes i agree with you even with this draw they are not much behind in the standings but they have to win the next match so they wont fall behind because we have seen in the last seasons that psg dont lose much points so if they want a shot at the title they should win their home matches.

I'm much more excited about tomorrows match between PSG and Lille. It would surely determine whether Lille is a competitor for the champions or they are just inflated in points due to poor performance from other teams. PSG has been winning the league for last 3 years and they don't have a much different team this time. I still believe they'd dominate it as always.

[CLS63]

Today, Monaco played an away match against Dijon. They lost their last three matches in the league before this match. So, they really needed this win. They weren't too dominant in the match but they managed to win it by scoring one goal.

[deadthings]

It is a pity that PSG is so strong, so there is usually little tension in the competition. Of course you have a few teams that can beat PSG once, only in recent years PSG could not be beat.
The value of the players on the field is really enormous.

In current situation if you are asking my opinion then surely I am not going tin favour of this because current situation is not good for them as you can check in first half they hardly have any goal and in second half as Lorent player out with red card then they able to have 2 goals its not good and now they are going against Lille in away match which is never been easy for them so avoid wagering is good enough.

[nelson4lov]

What a boring game so far. Lille and PSG are playing like that have nothing to gain from winning the match. Neither team has taken the lead so far and the match looks like it will end in a barren draw between the two sides. No goals so far with just 2 shotson target (1 each).  I think if Mbappe and Neymar started the game, it would have been a different story now. I just don't like seeing a good  fixture like this end in a barren draw. I was expecting to see at least 2 goals for PSG and at least 1 from Lille. From the looks of things, that would happen anytime soon.

Well, Mbappe just came on for Di Maria, let's see if he can change the game tempo.  Too dull at the moment.

PSG are indeed a good team with fantastic individuals; but the truth and reality is that the team lacks creativity prowess which is always evident whwenever talisman Neymar is out injured, rested, or left out of matchday squads. Tuchel has not done well with the PSG  team. PSG are currently playing a draw in the 86th (Lille 0 - 0 Paris Saint-Germain) having more yellow cards than shots on target.

Lots of work to do for tuchel to improve the squad before the champions league in February.
