French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[crunck]

Seems like nobody loves Len's performance of late they got to win today against Clermont who haven't won them last five game's in League 1. Shout out to Len's for impressive performance in the first half impressing the fans by having full dominance of the match but all of that came to short when they conceded first by allowing score from a long range. Which saw them conceding for a Very long time at home.

Powerful second half as they hustled to get those three points back for the supportive home fans who did from start to end. They stills sit second place to Paris Saint Germans who are above them with two points although with a game to play from League 1 giants. They should be very happy for themselves this season, the hardwork will pay off not so early but soon, they still need to be consistent.

Clermont is not doing well currently. They do not have even one win in the last five matches. So, they will have to improve very quickly. The next match is against LOSC. So, it is not going to be easy at all for them.

If you are Clermont right now and you want to start winning and end your losing streak, you would not want to face LOSC in your next match.

I honestly do not think that they will be able to win their next match. The opponent that they are facing, LOSC is in better form right now, compared to Claremont. And that is going to be a big factor.

The problem is Monaco is in a better form, currently compared to Marseille. So, I think that might have something to do with the outcome of this match. And another thing is, a draw also can be beneficial for both teams. They will eventually improve their standings on the table because of having a better goal difference. But I don’t think any team in this match is going to play for a draw.

I think Monaco have a good chance to win this game considering their form in terms of creating chances looks good. At least 2-1 is a good ending for Monaco to win even though now it is 1-1. Very confident about their victory, but of course they really have to maximize their chances.

So even if the current probability of a draw is very high, but I believe Monaco will maximize the time to win the match. It would be great if they did, at least 2-1.

I realized too late, it's 2-1 now. This is happening while I'm writing. Nice.

The game has entered the final 10 minutes now The score is still 2-1 but now Marseille want to dominate by playing the ball even though this may have been anticipated by Monaco who are ready with their defense.
It will be a long 10 minutes for Monaco because they continue to be pressed by Marseille and of course this is a crucial minute because sometimes in these minutes the concentration of the players will decrease a bit so it is possible that a goal will occur although my hope is still over for Monaco win.

This was a crazy match it just ended with marseille win after last minutes comeback it seems monaco defense couldn't hold and with the referee allowing them to play until the 98 minutes despite having only six minutes of added time is unfortunate, this was a balanced game so i think a draw should've been a more fair result.

Well now Monaco's hopes of winning are bullshit. Marseille really took my mouth off with 2 additional goals in the last 10 minutes of the match and injury time. I didn't really expect Marseille to come back after trailing 2-1 to Monaco, and it all fell apart after Marseille managed to take the best 3 chances they created. 3 shots on target, 3 goals for Marseille.

Damn it, One minute after I typed my post Marseille's second goal happened and I'm not happy about it. 90 + 8 is something that is hard to forget for Monaco because apart from 3 points they lost 10 minutes before the end of time and hoping that there is 1 point in the last minute of extra time they also have to be willing to concede the ball again which makes them have no points in this match.
Marseille's initiation was great when they lost and I admit that even though in this case I have to lose my bet.

I also looked at the match statistics and was surprised to see that the 'shot on target' by Marseille was 100% effective. Monaco must have been devastated by their defeat today, even though the match was almost over but Monaco failed to maintain their advantage, and Marseille automatically stops in 4th place in the standings. the matches will continue until the world cup is over.

Marseille played more insistently when they fell behind and their struggle was not in vain in this case, especially with their condition that they were still taking advantage of their winning momentum, of course they didn't want to just give up.
It was quite an exciting game and I like unexpected results like this because until the 80th minute everything looked like Monaco would win.
With this result they are back to their usual place in the top 4.

[Velvet78]

Marseille really did it. After an incredible rivalry between Monaco and them, they managed to get another important win by 3-2.

They had only two goal attempts in the second half and both of them ended up with goals. Especially the winning goal came in like the last minute. It was a really tough job for them to make a comeback from 1-2 for sure. But they really need these wins to recover no matter what. They won 2 big games in 2 weeks. They are still six points away from the second team in the standings maybe but the season is long. As long as Marseille keep up a good form they are still my favourite for that spot.

[jakdanyel]

Paris Saint-Germain got a easy win today. They scored plenty of goals and showed their strength by winning with a score of 5-0. No one doubts that they will be the champions of the league at the end of this season. The teams of Rennes and Lens also continued their pursuit of the summit by winning this week. They didn't let the points difference open up. However, it seems that this will be the struggle for second place for them in the future.

It's expected of them, after all Auxerre are 17th placed, there is nothing they could do even tho they had a total of nine attempts at goal. I doubt tho that Lens or Rennes would be able to overtake PSG at the top seeing as they have remained unbeaten and won't want to lose form now. Instead I expect to see more of them when they get back from the world cup tournament.

Don't use the low ranking of Auxere to undervalue the winning for PSG. They won easily because they are too strong and we should admit it.

I doubt tho that Lens or Rennes would be able to overtake PSG at the top seeing as they have remained unbeaten and won't want to lose form now. Instead I expect to see more of them when they get back from the world cup tournament.

Not only in this season but also in other seasons. Additionally, not only Lens or Rennes but other clubs in other seasons are very difficult to beat PSG in a single match and in a whole season. PSG have too many star players and their quality is super higher than other clubs in Ligue 1.

PSG lost titles only if they over focus on Champions League but did not manage to play well enough in Ligue 1. In most of seasons, in the last decade, they managed to win Ligue 1 even still spent a lot of focus on Champions League.

Damn it, One minute after I typed my post Marseille's second goal happened and I'm not happy about it. 90 + 8 is something that is hard to forget for Monaco because apart from 3 points they lost 10 minutes before the end of time and hoping that there is 1 point in the last minute of extra time they also have to be willing to concede the ball again which makes them have no points in this match.

It is a very bad match for Monaco. They let Marseille scored first but managed to equalize and find a second goal that gives them hope to earn three points.

Unfortunately they let Marseille to equalize when the match only have 7 minutes left. More terrible, they lost 1 point at the end by a very late goal from Marseille. Changing from three points to zero point is terrible and it all happened within a few minutes. Three points from this match help Marseille jumped to the fourth position in Ligue 1 and they only have 1 point less than Rennes.

Crazy stats by the psg trio messi - neymar - mbappe.

So far neymar has scored 11 goals , messi 7 goals and mbappe 12 goals plus they are unbeaten as well as the half of the season played so far at 15 , it's a normal day for psg at ligue 1 , lens doing good so far they are the closest one to psg with 5 points away.

I don't think so. Monaco's performance is quite good and seeing their focus actually playing very well always keep at least 10 players in the defense zone after they excel, but indeed their concentration buys when they are constantly under pressure by Marseille and it's difficult to remember remembering in this case when Marseille attacked at least there are 5 to 6 players in the Monaco penalty box which makes it difficult for Monaco.
This result made Marseille step over Monaco as well as Lorient because in another match Lorient had to draw against Strasbourg.

There is no need to be surprised by PSG performance in Ligue 1, PSG dominance is still very difficult to break by other teams, especially the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe who have worked well together in PSG attack line. There is not the slightest doubt that PSG will win trophies again because other teams are very difficult to give competition to PSG.
Lens has done a great job compared to other teams, are in second place with a difference of five points from PSG making it the only team that has the closest points to PSG. However, Lens is not a team that PSG needs to worry about because the strengths of these two teams are very much different.

When coming from Ligue 1 then I wouldn't be too surprised by what they've achieved so far by Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. I appreciate their achievements, but it would be even better when they recorded those statistics in the Champions League, of course, something very extraordinary. I don't underestimate them, but if it's Ligue 1 then no one should be surprised because their dominance here is really strong and no team can at least match them.

I totally agree with what you said, because in this case, regardless of the performance of other clubs in Ligue 1, everything is still the same because Ligue 1 will not be separated from PSG, just like the Bundesliga, which will not be separated from Bayern.
It is difficult for other clubs to make competition real in this case, especially in terms of financial strength and team quality, it is clear that the reduction is quite significant.
This season will still be the same with PSG running alone and several other clubs busy competing in the top 2-4 position.

Although Monaco took the lead 2 times, they could not maintain their superiority. It is highly likely that PSG will be the champion this year. The team that impressed me the most was Lens. They don't have many star players, but they play a team game. The team I bet the most on in this league is Rennes. Rennes' games often end over 2.5 goals.

Monaco were at the top of the table at the start of the season but now they have fallen far behind. Monaco is now sixth in the points table. Lens on the other hand is performing well. They have lost just one match this season. And drew 3 matches. Lens is only 5 points behind PSG. Despite not having a star player in the team, Lens is now second in the table due to good match strategy.

[el kaka22]

To be fair Auxerre played like a lower division team and not like a big club. They were horrible, this wasn't just about PSG being good, which they are, but this is a bit about how terrible their opponents played as well.

It is not an easy thing to do and I believe that we are looking at something that is a phenom right now, when teams are playing against PSG they know they will lose even if they play their hardest so they start to play even worse than they normally would because they lose hope, and that’s going to be a lot of terrible results for teams. These teams should realize that getting 3 points out of PSG game would be better than any other 3 points and player harder instead.
