French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Marseille has starting the league with big win from Toulouse several days ago and apparently this result was successfully to boosted their mentally and today Marseille will attempts to gets 4 winning streak from Montpellier and head to head statistics showed Marseille was unbeatable in the last 5 matches from Toulouse i think this is indicated they probably can able to win the match and for away matches Marseille records was more good than their home matches that from 7 matches total Marseille only lose once and it from PSG and today this match will played at Montpellier home ground and i think Marseille can bringing 3 points from it and the odds for Marseille is @1.74

Overall, Montpellier still seems to have recover after a long match since the start of the season, they are still in the same standings as last season. Based on statistics the two teams Marseille are far more convincing to come out winner in the 17th match of the French league today. I decided to bet on Marseille's win today and hope that Marseille can continue their win from last week

It was a fateful game for Lens and he won it. Any loss of points would have led to a widening gap in the championship race and perhaps a loss of mental strength. Their win both reduced the gap and renewed their hopes. PSG also lost a game after a long time. We can say that the league started to get a bit more exciting after this match.  PSG didn't play badly but it's worth noting that they couldn't capitalize on the positions they found.

It was a big win for lens, I'm sure PSG expect the match to be like this. The game was so interesting , it will be good if their are teams to challenge PSG , to make the league very competitive. This victory of lens will encourage them to strive for more win.

The prediction was clear before the match that Psg are not set for the game
The odds alone will tell one that gambles it's going to be a hard game
They really missed Messi and Neymar in that game, Lens narrowed the points to four points difference now

Messi and Neymar are talented players who have extraordinary achievements and are very relied on by the PSG team, because when the two of them are not in the game, PSG starts to look difficult to win the game and in fact it is. If in the next match with opponents who are not so weak and Messi and Neymar still don't come down to play with their teams, it will be very difficult for PSG to aim for victory.

[Majestic-milf]

This defeat again proves a fact that Mbappe relies on his team-mates to play well. He is mostly nothing if can not get support from Messi and Neymar and of course other players. His style is simple, totally relies on his speed and opponent defenders can easily to catch him if he is alone.

You got quite a point on that, bruv. But I doubt Mbappe will learn from such performance as he sees himself higher than both Messi and Neymar combined. Sometimes these big clubs need to be taught a lesson by small clubs and although they sit comfortably at the top spot, a repeat of this may prove deadly as Lens are looking longingly at the 1st position with 4 points the only difference between them.

If i am to be honest here i had not noticed how good Lens have been this season until they beat psg yesterday, all the talk in the Ligue 1 discussion has all been about psg, but Lens have been just as good as them, the both teams have lost only one game each and Lens are only 4 points behind, for now they are in the title race, maybe later on they will be out of it, but for now they are the closest to psg and they are competing with them for the title, even beat them yesterday. It is hard to imagine, but i wish for Lens to win the title, i am tired of psg winning it every season.

With a difference of four points there is still a possibility for Lens to win the title, yesterday without Neymar and Messi PSG should have been able to at least draw but the counter attacks Lens players are dangerous, especially Openda this guy is very fast and can make the best of opportunities. The situation at the Estadio Bollaert-Delelis also be advantage Lens yesterday, they have never draw or lost at home this season.

After being eliminated in the Champions League, Marseille focused more on the Ligue 1 competition. and it was proven, Igor Tudor's squad started their first match in the second half of the season with very satisfying results and Marseille defeated their opponent with a score of 6-1.

Today, Marseille has an away game against Montpellier. as for Montpellier, they also have one win after 7 matches without a win. the coach, Romain Pitau, expects his troops to have strong motivation to win this match to elevate their ranking on the Ligue 1 standings. However, Marseille is not Lorient which they can conquer easily even though this match is their own home game. I think in this match, Igor Tudor's troops will appear to attack from the first minute. they are aiming for their fourth win to reduce the gap in points with that of Lens who is in second place. my estimate, Marseille will win this match with a score of 1-3.

PSG's loss to Lens was their first defeat of the season. Without Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr, Mbappe seemed to feel something was missing and also proved that he relied on both of them.
but PSG's defeat to Lens without Lionel Messi and Neymar, this defeat is the first defeat in all competitions since March 20 last year, and for a difference of 4 points in my opinion it is not easy for Lens because for the next game Lionel Messi and Neymar will play again, and continue their unbeaten record.

The playing of Neymar and Messi did have a considerable impact on PSG's performance, but in my opinion PSG's defeat to Lens was not a defeat because Lens was too good. We can see from the game statistics that PSG actually dominated the game from various sides, including from the chance side. Lens has 10 attempts and 4 of them are shots on goal. Meanwhile at PSG, they had 16 attempted shots and 6 of them were shots on goal. From these statistics we can conclude that PSG wasted too many important chances they had.

This suggests that Lens was better on defense that day, PSG always creates many dangerous moments, this is their style of play, but since their attack was not as effective as it often happens, it means that the team clearly lacked Messi and Neymar in this game. These are two players of the main squad in the attack line, their absence should have affected the result of the match, and this is exactly what happened. The defeat is not critical and PSG will still not miss the lead.

You are absolutely right, I admit that Lens' game is very good and Lens is also the only team that can beat PSG and even then without Neymar and Messi. And if both were there maybe I think the game and outcome would be different.
and I mean for the next game and for the point issue, because for the next game and so on Neymar and Messi are still there, and this will allow PSG to keep their top of the table.

Not only that, I think Donaruma didn't perform well either. Four times the ball into the net he could only one miss. Then in the position of defender Ramos, who is believed to also perform below the best of his ability, he very rarely participates in building attacks. PSG's main player Fabian Ruiz didn't give a good pass either. He looked confused, although PSG had the ball, but they failed to dismantle the good performance of goalkeeper Lens.
I don't know the reason Messi hasn't joined yet, but it seems that he is already in Paris. Meanwhile, Neymar is indeed he can't play because I started the cards.

@Z-tight, I have to say that I have been in the same position as you as I have just recently discovered how good Lens have been this season apart from PSG. This is true that we only talk about how good PSG is because PSG is meant to be good with the great individual players they have but I have to really appreciate how good Lens have been so far this season. They have done a great job beating PSG by scoring three goals and I hope that they will give a tough fight to PSG for the league title.

Paris Saint-Germain FC were defeated for the first time in the league this season. If Messi had played in this match, things might have been different. Because the matches where Paris Saint-Germain FC lost points this season were the matches that he did not play. Messi had not been played in the Reims and Benfica games, and Paris Saint-Germain FC had lost points in those games. I attribute the excuse of this match to his absence. Paris Saint-Germain FC continue their league leadership with 44 points. Lens also solidified their second place with 40 points. Lens made a New Year's surprise with this result, and Paris Saint-Germain FC entered the new year with disappointment. I think this match will remain as an exception and Paris Saint-Germain FC will be the champions at the end of the season.

PSG had more chances than Lens, but did not have the players to take those chances. The star attack did not work, or rather Mbappe alone could not play well in the attack against the strong defense of Lens. Which shows that PSG is very dependent on the top players and without them loses to an ordinary club. By the way Lance is now only 4 points behind PSG.

Lens has been able to make it difficult for PSG just because Neymar and Messi didn't play against Lens. So that's actually not a threat to PSG, even though it's very serious because PSG had to lose by that much score. But PSG still has a bigger chance in the next game although Lens will try to make it difficult for PSG to win when they meet again this season, although later Neymar and Messi will play in the squad as usual.

[ajanwalker]

Lens team showed us very well yesterday that furball is a team game. The PSG team may be a group of stars, but yesterday they lost 3-1 to Lens on the road. Messi did not play because he was tired. With this win, Lens made 40 points and reduced the point difference with Psg to 4. By the end of the year, Psg will probably be the champion, but I think the football played by Lens should be appreciated. Because it is a fact that PSG is far behind in terms of budget.

[Ratash]

Lille team took the lead against reims after half an hour, if they manage to pull off a win they will take the fifth spot that guarante a conference league place but the game isn't over yet reims team seem a dangerous opponent that's what allowed them to be unbeaten for eight straight games .

Indeed, it seems without Messi PSG losing their best senior, hopefully so PSG can continue the positive trend of being unbeaten when he and Neymar plays again. But the future match is probably to be tough for PSG because they will also play for achieve the Champion trophy, in different with Lens which is currently only focused on the League 1 title, so Lens squad their fitness will probably stable.

Even if Messi was with them with that kind of game play yesterday it was only natural them to lose the game.Their coach admitted it openly that we didn't gave it 100% on the pitch so we could not get any better result than this.I think that PSG has not lost anything at all,they are still 4 points ahead in a league where they dominate it completely and the team that they lost to was the second team which was 6 or 7 points behind PSG so nothing to worry.Maybe PSG did let intentionally Lens win (not a fixed game or such absurdity) in order to make the competition good again for this Ligue 1 for this season because in the end they know they will be the Champions.

PSG is already built for the front three. Now they are without 2 players and that's why they have problems. We have seen that it's not enough to have only mbappe playing. If a game plan had been drawn accordingly, we would have seen a different result yesterday. I think this match was a lesson for psg, so they saw where they were lacking. For Lens, it was a completely important match. They reduced the points difference to 4 and showed that they are in the race. This match was not only a title race but also a match in which they overturned psg's unbeaten record.
