French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

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

It looks like there is a really boring game going on and I am happy for not watching it.    Both teams seem very clumsy when it comes to even finding the target. A draw really fits a match like this and it looks like we will see it.

Edit: And Marseille scored!    If it ends with their victory, Marseille will be 2 points behind Lens and be at the 6th place.

@Expecto Marseille scored the only goal of the match, and conveniently secured three valuable points which shall boost their position to stay in the top 6. Also it’s pertinent to note that Rennes are in deep trouble as it’s their 5th consecutive loss, and i don’t think that their new manager will like what he saw from his player’s.

In Round 29, we will start with the Reims-Lyon match. Reims are at a safe place being nine points away from the relegation area and managed to get a win after weeks vs Nantes away. Lyon continue their chase for the lead and they are only three points behind the leader Lille. Lyon are absolutely the favorite in this match of course and I don't expect them to have any problem on winning this also. A win with two-goal diff at least looks sensible for me.

Indeed Lyon looking into good position and have much better chance to win this match. Reims is unstable side as compare with Lyon so that there is no reason to do agree with you. This is nice analysis and it have chance to win by a decent margin but it would be safe to pick them direct with more safety.

I think the most delightful match of the week will be Monaco-Lille. Monaco have a really big chance to get closer to the first position and to stay in the competition for the championship. But it is a too hard match for each team. Lille defeated Monaco 2-1 home this season but now I don't think they can do the same. In my opinion, Monaco and Lille both will score but the match will end in a draw. It would also be a chance for PSG to take the lead if they defeat Nantes home.

It is the most important match in this season. The future of many teams depends on this match. Lille will lose their place in the points table if they lose this match. PSG will move to the top of the points table in a few days. So the match is very important to Lille. But Monaco is a very good team. It will not be easy to win against them.

It will be a really tough game for both sides. Burak Yilmaz (9 goals in 18 games) is still injured and a big loss for Lille as he is one of the most scorers. But still they are doing quite good without him. Monaco lost their last game against Strasbourg and they will want to beat Lille here definitely not to be left far behind the top 3 teams. On the other hand, even getting one point would cost Lille the 1st place this week. I expect goals from both sides and Monaco might take their revenge on Lille.

The match is equally important for both teams. But the match is more important for Lille because they don't want to lose their place at the top of the table. The PSG team is waiting for Lille to lose a match. PSG will occupy their position only if they lose a match. PSG's next match is against Nantes. PSG will easily score 3 points in this match.

Lyon also can make use of the situation that there is a huge match between Monaco and Lille. They are gonna play against Reims away tonight and most probably they won't have any problem to win this match. If Lille lose points against Monaco, Lyon will only be 1 point behind them or have the equal points.

Imo, after the matches of this week, the top 3 will be like this:

1. PSG - 63 pts
2. Lille - 63 pts
3. Lyon - 62 pts

For a long time we didnt see any competitive season in ligue 1 and finally we got it...ther is a big chance for lyon or lille to be the champoins and break psg dominance...psg will focuse more on the champoins league and this will make them drope more points

There are still many opportunities for PSG to win the league, because I think PSG can share the focus for the two tournaments well. We can see how PSG played in CL yesterday against Barcelona, without even playing all their best players but PSG proved they can still go further. That way, I'm still very confident that PSG will be able to end the season at the top, from the matches that have been played so far at least we will get data where PSG is better at winning matches, even though the record of losses is bigger.

The final result of the Reims-Lyon match is 1-1. I'd like to indicate that I was expecting it to be a comfortable victory for Lyon but it went the opposite way. Reims were performing a little better in the first half and they managed to end it 1-0 ahead. The thing they tried to do in the second half was to maintain the score until the end and defeat Lyon. They were nearly making it too. After a huge effort, Lyon equalized the score in the stoppage time (90+2') finally and got at least one point.

Lyon players enter the match with over confidence...this is not the right time to wast 2 points now in a match like this and i believe they will pay the price and they will not get the trophy if they will wast another points that way

After getting a very difficult win against Rennes, Marseille this time have a match against Brest home. Considering they have a similar form and don't have a huge gap between them which is 8 points, this could also be another tough match for both sides. Marseille obtained a 3-2 victory against Brest in an away match before and I wonder if they will manage to do that again home. I think we will see goals from each side again too.

Marseille ? - ? Brest

Marseille face brest in a must win tie today if they want to keep their chances of going to europe alive. A win will take Marseille temporarily above Lens in 5th position. I think it will be a 2-1 victory for Marseille who would surely concede a goal with their lame backline

Marseille have been the dominant side so far and finally managed to get ahead 1-0 with Milik's goal in the stoppage time of the first half. It will be very important for them to get a win here as they will have a chance to take the 5th place and consolidate it if Lens lose points against Metz tomorrow.

Metz's performance against the Lens is not very pleasing. In the last 3 matches between these two teams, Lens has not won a single match, they have drawn one match. The other two matches have been lost. I hope tomorrow's match will be a draw, otherwise, Metz will win 1-0. Marseille will not lose their position in the points table.

Lyon getting a tie against Reims destroyed all their plans. Lille and PSG fighting real hard to win the league, I have to be honest and say that I did not expected Lille to be this good, they were 20 points PSG last year and finished the league with 49 points (cut short) but they played 28 games last year as well as this year so far and they have 12 more points compared to last year, PSG has about 8 less points as well so they meet at the middle give or take.

I really think that Lyon being close to PSG plays a big role, it really disturbs PSG a lot if you ask me, and that tie and impending PSG win could be very tough for Lyon this week, they may get further away. In the end 2 opponents is harder to fight than one, and PSG needs both of them to disturb them, if the only opponent is Lille, the moment they lose PSG could get ahead, so Lyon has to recover this with winning every game until PSG loses.

I agree that Lille's appearance this season is very different from last season, now Lille are playing very well and becoming the temporary leader of
Ligue 1. While Lyon continues to pursue PSG's points, it's a shame that Lyon drew with Reims so they had to lose points. Then PSG this season is
not playing as well as last season, but there are still wide opportunities for PSG to become champions of Ligue 1 again. PSG just need to win the rest of
the games this season. And hope Lille drop points. The next test PSG must face Nantes, but the opponent is in the relegation area, PSG should be able
to beat it easily. While Lille have to play away to face Monaco who is ranked 5, there is a possibility that Lille will lose points against Monaco.

it could be said that tomorrow is the D day for Lille, since Monaco is in a good form, and would not be easy to win there
PSG has match with Nantes and chance to get back on top, in case of Lille draw or lose

Lyon is now a bit behind, and will be hard to get back into the race, seems that each and every draw kick you a bit in France
