French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Currently the two teams are almost the same in terms of strength and performance.
Their position is also currently close together so this will definitely try to make the match more interesting especially they still need a win at this time.
Lyon are a bit underdog as they play at home moreover they are a bit better if they play at home but looking at Nice's performance now especially in the last 3 matches it's clear they don't want their momentum to end.

lyon vs nice was very interesting, NICE had a 1 goal lead in the first half and managed to maintain it until almost the match was over, but NICE failed to win when lacazette managed to score in the 89th minute on penalty

with this draw, nothing has changed from the ranking of the two in the standings, the two are only 1 point apart

Lyon hit back in the dying minutes and it's a shame that Nice couldn't hold on to their lead in this game.
As I said before they were quite balanced and not too surprised by this result although Lyon had to work hard to wait until the last minute to equalize.
Both goals came from Penalties but I liked the performance of both teams in this match.

Soon a match Rennes vs Toulouse, today is an important match for Rennes to get 3 points, also to stay away from Marseille, so far Toulouse is not a difficult opponent 5 head to head record Rennes win 3 and draw 2. I assume Rennes will win this match, at home they only got 1 lose and even then it only happened at the early of this season, then they haven't been lose at home so far.

[crunck]

Marseille have little performance improving after winning last match from Lyon, but Monaco have quite performance at home match its seem difficult mission for Marseille get three points at away match. I predict this match game Monaco vs Marseille prefer to draw depend on statistic have both team at last several match.

Marseille finally won after dropping points in four matches. After a great start to the season, they suddenly lost the truck badly. The win against Lyon was much needed for them. If Marseille wins. However, their performance does not improve much. Their performance needs to improve further if they want to stay at the top of the points table. Especially forward players need to play better.

[Ratash]

Lens team managed a nice comeback after being behind in the first half against clerment they managed to secure their second position with a huge points difference from the third position, they are now eight points from rennes and only two points away from psg on the first position, their winning streak is still going on and they managed to make it five in a row.

Monaco v Marseille is a big game this week. This is an important game especially for Marseille. Because they had a lasting bad form before and put an end to this series by a win against Lyon last week. Their getting a win in a big game must have improved the morale of the playes very much. Marseille were actually really strong at the beginning of the season but things just got really bad later on interestingly. Now as they don't have the Champions League or Europa League from now on, they can focus on the Ligue 1 completely.

Here in this game maybe Monaco are seen as the favourite by bookies. But I'm supporting Marseille for the win. Monaco were the favourite side here last season too but Marseille won the game by 2-0 despite having 3.70 odd. Now their odd is 3.05 and it might be worth a try.

It is going to be an interesting and significant event for both teams at the same time. The outcome of this game will determine which team stays ahead or gets ahead of the other in comparison to the other team. If we look at the form of all the teams, we will see that Monaco is playing better compared to Marseille. In fact, that might be the thing that will decide the fate of this match in the end. In spite of this, if we do not acknowledge the fact of which team is in form, I truly believe that both teams possess enough strength and support to be able to compete and come out on top.

Marseille are now in a state where they want to improve after continuously not getting good results for their matches.
Victory against Lyon in the previous game should be more motivation but they need to realize that in the match against Lyon last week their midfield actually did not work well and Tudor must anticipate this when facing Monaco later.

Monaco's performance stats are still slightly better than Lyon, this will increase the level of difficulty for Marseille to continue their win and add +3 points in the standings. Even now, both of them (Marseille and Monaco) both collect 27 points and compete for the position of the three standings which are currently control by Rennes with a collection of 28 points or 1 point adrift of positions 4.5 and 6.
I would avoid betting on the 1x2 market because the possibility of a draw is very likely in the match Monaco vs Marseille

Depending on how they are performing now, especially considering their relatively similar condition, it is clear that both clubs still have the same chance of winning.
Interestingly in h2h they are also balanced because in the last 4 matches they both collected two wins so it might be more difficult for me to determine who will win in this match.
One thing for sure I feel that both teams will score goals in this match and the odds are also quite good to bet on.

[fuguebtc]

In terms of position, they are also not much different because there is only one ladder with the same points.
Monaco have slightly better goal productivity but their defense is also very poor in this regard.
I would not even dare to bet even with quite tempting odds in this match considering their conditions are the same, actually this still has more risk.

Right now, in top five teams Monaco is surely conceded more goals than any other team which needs to be settled but with the way of play they are doing good because recently I watch few matches and I believe mostly they are playing open games with aggressive mode which is good for them but in last five games they have three clean sheets which mean works already going on for improving defence which is good and with this all most chances we will be able to have them into good spot until end of this season.

For the Marseille game both are good and improving performance which is good, but Marseille is surely missing after the worst games, and recently they have won first game after five matches which mean things are turning into positive but still facing team like Monaco is not easy for them.

This is going to be an extremely crucial match for both Monaco and Marseille. But the thing that you said is true. Monaco conceded a lot more goals compared to Marseille. So, I don't think it is going to be a clean sheet for Monaco.

On the other hand, Monaco also scored a lot of goals. Therefore, it is unlikely to be a clean sheet for Marseille. At least that's what I think. And another reason for Monaco scoring in this match is that Marseille is not in good form right now as well. I actually think that this is going to be a 2-1 win for Monaco. But at the same time, a draw is not absolutely out of the count.

Difficult match ! Last time I saw the BTTS market yes it was 1.59 odds, it's safe enough. But in my opinion both of them will probably play it safe in this match, so estimating the scores for both of them will also be difficult, maybe goal under 2.5 be a better. Even I agree with zuzie in above, the possibility of a draw is very likely in this match, and I guess there will be no goals in this match.

Lens kept being annoying and getting closer to PSG, which is good to keep Ligue 1 a bit challenging.
Rennes also had positive results lately so they are holding now the third position followed by Marseille which dropped many points lately but they are now 4th with same number of points with Monaco and Lorient
PSG will play vs Auxerre today and I think PSG will win. The other interesting game is Monaco - Marseille. Odds are in favour of Monaco but a draw is very possible too.

PSG has odds @1.15 so this is not the best option to placed my bets because although probably PSG will going to win the match but the profit will not be decent but for recently i noticed PSG defensive line looks poor because in their latest 4 matches in all competitions PSG has failed to clean sheet so although Auxerre is weak team i will assume they can steal goals from PSG so both teams to scores might be good for this match
For Monaco vs Marseille this the fight between the teams who can able to bounce back and ended their performance period so 3 points is their target each because both of teams in the good shape but in my opinion Monace has slightly chance to beat Marseille considering their performance quite stable compared to Marseille and so probably Monaco can able to win the match

So what is the PSG lineup? if Messi can play tonight probably will show an attractive match, but maybe he still recover due to a tendon injury?, PSG has a problem lack of squads due to the world cup where to begin soon, several player like Mbappe and Neymar maybe want to break in this week before kick off on Qatar to get fit and avoid the injury. nevertheless, the odds are still not profit even the squad are still doubtful, maybe will change in second of kick off until the television show who the starter.

Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are all three in PSG's squad today. However, it is very risky to perform in this match before the World Cup. Yet they took this risk. However, PSG's formation is different in today's match. They will play in 4-3-3 today. PSG will probably not play too much attacking today. Because all players want to avoid injuries. No player would want to suffer an injury before the World Cup. So it is possible that PSG will play somewhat defensively today. and will seek a narrow victory. I guess PSG will be happy with a 1-0 win today. Or there is a possibility that the match will be a 1-1 draw.

I have checked PSG line up to face Auxerre where PSG came down with the perfect squad to be able to secure 3 points in this match. messi, neymar and mbappe will be played from the early minutes and in my opinion psg has a big chance in this match to win this match because the opponent they are facing is a low ranked team. if psg is able to get points in this match then the point gap with second place will be a difference 5 point. PSG have never tasted defeat this season and they are very consistent in every game, this will make Galtier easily able to close the league break with a perfect result. messi most likely won't play full time in this match because he really doesn't want injuries to come to him.

For Monaco vs Marseille this the fight between the teams who can able to bounce back and ended their performance period so 3 points is their target each because both of teams in the good shape but in my opinion Monace has slightly chance to beat Marseille considering their performance quite stable compared to Marseille and so probably Monaco can able to win the match

Monaco vs Marseille, the last Ligue 1 contest before the world cup break. this match will fight for 4th place in the Ligeu 1 standings. Uniquely, the two teams that will fight have the same points. both Manaco and Marseille have 8 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses. whichever team wins full points in this match, has the right to be ranked 4th in the Ligue 1 standings. however, in terms of opportunities it is clear that Manaco is superior to win this match. apart from home matches, they appeared quite impressive in their 4 matches in all competitions and only got one draw.

on the other hand, Igor Tudor's troops did not perform very well, after a series of three defeats and one match ended in a draw.  and only after that, Marseille was able to bounce back after overthrowing Lyon even though by a narrow score. however, at least give them the motivation to bounce back.
My estimation, Marseille will get full points and overthrow Monaco in this match.

[maju69]

Paris Saint Germain will host Auxerre in a match which will soon kick off. This will be an easy match for Galtier's men because Auxerre myself did not include them in the names of the teams to watch out for. I think there will be no serious problems for Paris Saint Germain against a team in 15th place with their series of negative results in Ligue 1 this season.

Your guess is correct. PSG players are not attacking much in today's match. They will be happy to get 3 points in this match. They don't need to win by a big margin. And PSG took the lead from Mbappe's goal in the 11th minute of the match. And then in the first half, they only made 2 shots, and only one was on target. They are not trying to score. Perhaps in the second half if Auxerre's players come back to equalize, then maybe PSG will try to score again with some attacking play.

The idea of playing on the favourites could be done in a two way. Either you wager a whole lot of money on them, and I mean like your whole bankroll, hoping that at least 15% would get back, and that is not a bad return if it happens. Or, smarter decision would be adding that into something like "guaranteed group" type of play.

It doesn't always work, but I have a slip most weeks like that for a small amount where I pick 5 to 10 teams that have under 1.40 odds, which means they are heavy favourites, even had weeks of 7-8 teams with 1.20 or lower odds, and when you combine them all like that, it turns out the combined odd makes it to be good, get a boost and all, and you have yourself a great return all from heavy favourites. Still loses a lot, just a better way though.

PSG do not even have a close rival in Ligue 1 as before. They haven't lost a game yet this year and have won 13 out of 15 games. Probably no one was surprised that they had no problem beating Auxerre today. Five goals is a fair result for this game.
