French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

It seems that the atmosphere in PSG is no longer good and that the first problems appear among the players, which could affect their future results.
Marca mentions in their article that Bakker, PSG player, was furious about not playing, refused the fitness coach's instructions and kicked an advertising board.
PSG is no longer as dominant in the championship as in previous years, and with such dissatisfied players, it will be difficult for them to defend their title.

When reading these sort of news it is better to take them with a grain of salt. What happens to one particular player cannot be representative to what may be happening to the team as a whole. Before calling some internal crisis I would wait for a few more games (also considering the next important Champions League game).

Pochettino's presence at PSG began to cause internal problems, Mitchell Bakker felt annoyed and frustrated that Pochettino had not given him
many opportunities to play. Even though while still being trained by Tuchel, Mitchell Bakker has always been the top choice and now Pochettino
prefers to use Kurzawa as the left wing-back.

But finally Mitchell Bakker officially apologized to all staff and was not sanctioned by PSG. Finally, the conflict that occurred at PSG was over,
and  PSG can focus more on becoming Ligue 1 champions this season. Especially now that the Ligue 1 team at the top is Lille who are 2 points
ahead of PSG. Therefore PSG must not drop points again in the next match, so that they can continue to pursue Lille's points.

Lyon should be very thankful that they didn't lose to Marseille after getting a red card. In the second half, Lyon couldn't do much in the second half but Marseille also couldn't manage to score a goal despite playing better. After this result, PSG have left Lyon behind and maintained the second place.

Tomorrow there is going to be a super intense Ligue 1 round and I would concentrate on the first four teams of the league Lille, PSG, Lyon and Monaco.
Lille, the pack leader, will probably hae the most difficult match against Marseille: a double chance, home or away should be good here.
PSG should be able to defeat Bordeaux, which is playing very bad lately.
Lyon will face Rennes but I do not believe visitors to be posing a major danger to Lyon.
Monaco, also, should get three points in Strasbourg.
However, anything could happen and because the top 4 teams are very close, expect some shifts in the standings if things do not go as planned.

Tomorrow, Lyon-Rennes game could be quite interesting, imo. Because in their last game, Rennes were nearly defeating Lyon but Lyon managed to make a comeback and got at least a 2-2 draw. But Rennes had a better form then. Now, they have been getting very poor results for weeks. This time, I think Lyon will be the winner of this game.

Lyon won the match. Despite a 1-0 win, Lyon played much better than Rennes. They did a total of 15 shots, Rennes did 12. However, Lyon did 7 on-target shots, but Rennes did only 1 on-target shot. Lyon played very well. Lyon is now third in the points table, just 1 point behind PSG

Yesterday lille got three important points at the last minutes which made them keep their first position i made a bet on them after lyon win i thought that they will be more motivated because of that and they prove it they kept trying until they scored.

Rennes were absolutely terrible against Lyon yesterday. They got 12 shots but only 1 of them was on goal which was awful. Lyon could have even scored more goals but the score was stuck at 1-0. It is still a win for them though. Lille and PSG also won their games so Lyon keep following them as the 3rd and they are right behind PSG being 1 point away.

The difference between the points of the first 3 teams of Ligue 1 is only 3. In fourth place, the Monaco team is 6 points behind than Lille. The next team is Lens, 16 points behind than Lille. The fight for the title this season is between Lille, PSG, and Lyon. It is still difficult to predict which team will win the title. Which is your favorite team and And why is the team yoursfavourite?

@Iranus when the difference for the top spot is so low then in the end it all comes down to the quality of the player’s, and we all know that PSG has superior player’s in comparison to their closest competitors. Also I feel that PSG have the X factor because of their new coach Pochettino, and hence I believe that PSG will win the title.

I think it is Lille's time for the championship. It is very true that there is a huge competition among Lille, PSG and Lyon right now. Monaco are also following them but I started thinking they have a low chance. In my opinion, Lyon will also be out of the race in some weeks and it will go on between Lille and PSG. And I hope that Lille will be the champions.

I assume most people, except PSG fans, would like to see some diversity in the title holder but honestly PSG is the best team in France but also one of the best in Europe. Lille is doing great so far but the real test is when facing PSG in early April, can they keep the first spot after that date?

Before this match, Lille are going to play games against Monaco away and Nimes home. Let's say that Lille got 4 points from these two matches. PSG also are going to play games against Nantes home and Lyon away. Let's also say that PSG got 3 or 4 points from these matches (maybe they could lose to Lyon as they lost in this season before). In this situation, Lille will still be the leader and PSG will be the 2nd. When it comes to PSG-Lille then, they had a match against each other this season and it ended so boringly, 0-0. Getting only one point will even be good for Lille but this time I don't assume that we will see no goal.

I believe this is the right time to breake psg dominance...the team keep focusing on the eufa champoins league and they finally lose dominance on the ligue 1 but the qeustion is if lile can resist to the end

In the Coupe de France, PSG have a match against Brest away tonight. As they also have the rematch in the CL four days later maybe they can rotate the squad a little. PSG won this cup five times in the last six years which shows they give importance to it. And PSG are so much dominant here that I think they will eliminate Brest. But I also expect Brest to give a nice battle so they could score a goal too.

PSG won the match 3-0. Brest was not able to score a single goal. But they did not play worse than PSG in any part. A very competitive match. The whole PSG team played great. PSG's goalkeeper Rico in particular's performance today was unprecedented. Brest has made many extraordinary attacks. But they could not score a single one.

Marseille ? - ? Rennes

Mid table teams, one point separating both of them play tonight in the French league; either of the team winning would take them to 42 points and in european spot positions in the league, i feel Marseille are in the better form and would win tonight. 3-1

The only teams of the league that have a missing match are going to play against each other tonight. Both teams have been terrible lately (especially Rennes as they lost their last 4 matches). It is really one of the hardest games to predict surely. Rennes beat Marseille this season 2-1 with a comeback but they also were the dominant side. This time, I don't think Rennes will be able to beat them away with this terrible form. I think this match will end in a draw and both teams will score.

Yes its really hard to predict the winner of this match and i believe its better to avoid making any 1x2 bets but i believe there will beat least 2 goals in this game because both clubs will try to win this match to stop their bad redults
