French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[maju69]

Troyes was not a weak opponent. PSG's main target now is the Champions League, so they are not paying much attention to Ligue 1 matches. But you are right that PSG's poor defense is showing up quite well. PSG's attack is strong. They are scoring a lot of goals. At the same time, they are conceding results due to poor defense. They conceded 5 goals in the last two matches. Galtier should now focus more on strengthening the defense.

Yes they need to improve their ground performance soon if they don't want to have a bad balance between defense and attack. Maybe it won't be a problem when they play in Ligue 1 because the majority of the teams here they can beat easily. But they can't do the same thing when competing in the Champions League with a defense like this because it will certainly make it easier for opponents to score goals easily.

There are considerable weaknesses in PSG's defense lineup. The way they are performing in Ligue 1 with this kind of defense is disappointing. If 3 goals are conceded after scoring 4 goals, then where is the profit? PSG will never do well in the Champions League with this defense. They need to change some defense or develop defense skills.

after appearing tough in the first half and making 2 goals, in the second half, the marseille defense began to fall apart, 2 goals made by Strasbourg were created in the 76' and 93' minutes. with this draw, marseille must be willing to be in 5th place with the same points as Rennes in the Ligue 1 standings. marseille's performances in the last 5 matches have been very bad.

[execijutiere]

Rennes beat an opponent who had lost for 4 weeks this week, extending their winless streak to 5 weeks. Montpellier failed to capitalize on their chances. Rennes is a good team and they have good players. We saw this in the midweek match against Fenerbahce.
Monaco also beat their out of form opponent and are now in 6th place.

I was not much surprised when the trio scored, these players has learnt how to manage one another, help one another and help the team, in almost all matches if you don't see either of them scoring or assisting you will see all of them scoring and assisting. My main concern was how Troyes was able to compete with PSG in goal-scoring to the extent that the final result was 4:3. Troyes should be a major contender then

This is the main point in this match.
This win is indeed very good for PSG in this regard but conceding 3 goals with their condition of controlling the game and almost equal opportunities is a big question mark here.
Is it true that their defense is a little more fragile or is it that they only focus on attack without paying attention to a defense that is not too good.
Troyes is in the form of players and their performance that is far below them to score 3 goals is something that is indeed surprising.

I think PSG's defense is not weak, PSG is not focused on their defense. They changed their match strategy. And their main goal now is to attack and score a lot of goals. So they are not able to focus on their defense. Romas is playing like he is. Although Ramos is primarily a defender, he is rarely seen in defensive positions. He wants to score or assist. As a result, the team may score, but their defense is vulnerable. Galtier should be wary of the performance of his defenders right now. Otherwise, they will face a big loss in the Champions League.

Lorient started to perform bad earlier than Lens in that duo as it seems. After getting two draws in a row this time they lost to Nice home by 2-1. Their defending style is not good for two weeks as they conceded 4 goals in their last 2 matches in the league. They have started to become no different than Marseille these days.

When it comes to Marseille they are still a mess in the league. They performed really great in the first half and brought the score to 2-0 already. But they did a thing that they shouldn't have done in the first half. They started to play complacently and this helped Strasbourg to be hopeful about a point in this. They really got that point by scoring 2 goals in the last 15 minutes of the match. Marseille are still on a bad streak and it is four weeks now.

PSG can afford to play according to the scheme "they will score as much as they can, and we will score as much as we want." But this only works in Ligue 1 - even in the group stage of the Champions League, PSG failed to beat Benfica 2 times (and by the way, it’s not a fact that they can beat Juventus and take first place in the group). The playoffs are still too far away (a whole World Cup), but PSG don't look ready to fight for the Champions League title.

This weakness is just because of their playing style as mostly they prefer to play attacking style, and they have one of the most lethal attacks in the world, so they not try tight this weakness which is surely not good strategy from them if they want to have better results in coming matches then surely they need to work on this and improve their defense which will give them better results, and they can do more aggressive strategy right now if they are having three goals from team like Troyes than surely big teams can do more damage and now with they are in knock out stage this could be hanged their chance to win Champions League in this season which could be more heartbreaker for all fans and management.

It is not just that they don't focus on defense, their defensive line up is obviously not enough for a team like PSG. While the forward trio plays well, the defense still does not inspire confidence. For CL all they have to do is defend well and the forward three will do the rest. But, I don't think their defense will be enough for CL. A recovering midfielder like Kante or Pogba would be great, although I agree with that, I think the defenders are more problematic and have priority. It has already become clear from Kimpembe that he will no longer exist, I saw Ramos as if he didn't care a bit in Benfica matches, even though he was good at handling the ball, he can't press effectively because of his age, he tries risky things or something. Marquinhos is the best, but you can't trust him the way you trust Van dijka. He was never able to reach the peak of his performance. I still remember the mistakes he made in cl last year. Especially in the Real game.

Lens can really show his dominance for a perfect result at home with all the wins he got, last night's match against Toulouse also Lens was still very consistent and even Toulouse couldn't put up a strong fight for Lens until Lens won with a perfect score at 3-0.
If I consider a result like this then Lens will stay behind PSG until the end of the season but yes, we also don't know what will happen in the second half of the season. Because of course there will always be changes that occur especially if they are active in the next transfer market.

Lens won against Toulouse quite comfortably and convincingly. Until the 60th minute, it felt like Toulouse were in the match. Till the 60th minute, it felt like the match was competitive. But in the 60th minute, it started going wrong for Toulouse. They started leaving gaps in the defense. And they paid the price for it. Lens is in the 2nd position right now. But I don't think they will be able to dethrone PSG from the first position on the table or take the Ligue 1 title from them.

[el kaka22]

PSG really didn't look like they are losing anything while not focusing on Mpabbe to score, he still scored from a penalty, but they changed it up and play as a team since they have a lot of good players and they became better.

Normally they put Mbappe to striker and then pass to him as much as they can, that is how they started at first, after the contract deal he was considered the most valuable player, but that didn't work out that well, and now they are just passing with each other no matter who has the ball, even if it is not Mbappe/Neymar/Messi trio, they pass to whoever they can, and this team ball managed to get them to score a lot more and play a lot better.

They really got that point by scoring 2 goals in the last 15 minutes of the match. Marseille are still on a bad streak and it is four weeks now.

Look like their honeymoon period is going to end, and they are going to drop from top five spot with this form most chances in next week when they will be hosting PSG they could be down with Monaco and Marseille both are improving performance trying to have their higher rank which is surely going to happen with their current form they are losing momentum at home matches which is more concern and their attack is also not working as this was doing in early rounds.

In today match they were doing good in first half but suddenly in second half they lost their touch badly and concede two goals which give them shocking defeat in this round all top teams win their respective matches, just Lorient and Marseille both were unable to have positive end.

Not focusing on defense is a weakness that must be corrected, no matter how hard they attack if they forget defense it will boomerang for them. See how they were almost humiliated by Troyes for often not focusing on defense. If they change their focus strategy to attack because of the quality of the opposing club below them that is a big mistake they should not do again. If what you say is true, then they seem to underestimate their opponent, and if they do it again be prepared for the worst that will happen to them.

Lyon vs LOSC is heading towards the end of the first half and so far it is a goalless draw. It is a tough game has Lyon are struggling earnestly not to concede against LOSC. LOSC has a better chance of winning if the press further despite playing away but there could still be chance for a draw from the performance so far LOSC has a better control of the ball.

[Ratash]

Lyon are facing lille team right now its half time and the visitors seem to be in control of the game lille team was dangerous and had six goal attempts and they were so close to scoring, lyon players are still performing poorly and if they continue like this they will lose the game today.

Both teams are trying to get points in this match, so it's a difficult for Lyon to win. But I see the changes score that have occurred when Lacazette has managed to score for Lyon, and it looks like Lyon will also manage to get 3 points if the defense is tight. Meanwhile the match also a little bit more will be to ended, so it's a difficult for Lille to make draw.

The game is almost over and it looks like it will be a win for Lyon over a goal scored by Lacazette in the 74th minute.
Lille played quite well but there are still some mistakes they made, otherwise in this match it looks like Lyon just want to wait for the mistakes made by Lille because they didn't play too much of the ball but this result is of course enough for them to secure the points.

as the host, lyon did not waste the opportunity to win from lille, even though lille was more dominant but the effectiveness of lille's attack was very small

The match ended with Lyon's 1-0 win over Lille, this made the distance between Lille and Lyon in the standings only differ by 2 points

Lyon is only able to reduce the distance between Lille and Lille in the standings, while its position is still under Lille. So both of them still have to struggle if they want to get a much better position this season, because in Ligue 1 only two positions can directly be in the Champions League, while the other two are for the Champions League and Europa League qualifications.
