French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Spack17]

Tonight, we are going to have Lorient - Monaco game. On the first week of the season, Monaco drew with Nantes 1-1. And Lorient also drew with St Etienne with the same score. But when we compare these two teams in terms of strength, Monaco are way better than their competitor of course. They had a great season last. They ended the league at the 3rd place. Now as they didn't have a good start, I assume they would like to obtain a victory in this one. I think that they will win.

I'm expecting Monaco to beat their opponent in this match. They are a way more qualified team than Lorient. Lorient barely were able to stay in the league. They were only two points up the risky zone. Monaco beat them 5-2 in this stadium in the last season. They can get another comfortable win in this one.

Well I think most people expecting Monaco to win this game until you see Lorient leading with 1 goal in the first half! The underdog teams are leading currently in EPL and Ligue 1 but I doubt this will be the final result.

The Monaco team is much better than the Lorient. Since they shared the points in the first match, they will try their best to get 3 points from this match. They play very stable football, I am completely optimistic about Monaco's victory in today's match. I'm betting on Monaco's victory today.

Now, it looks like we could get a very surprising result at the end of this game. Lorient are still leading it 1-0 and they scored it by a penalty. And we are in the last ten minutes now. Monaco are actually dominating the game in general but they are having a big problem to score. They got a draw on the first week and they are really close to lose this time also. This must be a really terrible start for them.

I am not sure whether Mbappe stays or not, looks like they are doing fine, and we do not have an "official" source yet, its all "sources say.." stuff and we all know how wrong they could be, and if they win the league, the cup, the ucl and super cup of both nation and uefa, then how could they end up losing these players? I really do not think that Mbappe will go if they end up winning everything, how could you leave a club that does that. And if anyone has a chance to do that, I think PSG is the one right now, this season they are that good.

However, if they end up not being able to hold Mbappe and he leaves? Then the plan is to put Ronaldo and Messi on the same team. PSG will have enough money to get Ronaldo next season if Mbappe leaves, and yes neither player is at their peak right now, but they are still stars and that will definitely bring in a lot of money to them.

What a shame for Monaco that they couldn't manage to beat even Lorient tonight! They already started the season badly by drawing with Nantes home, 1-1. I thought that they would win this game at any cost and boost their morale. But the opposite happened. Lorient got 1-0 ahead and succeeded in keeping the score at it till the end. Monaco increased their attacks so many but they still were so clumsy to score. Lorient players and the manager must be very happy about this result. I don't think that they were expecting to win the game before it started.

It is indeed a terrible start for Monaco. Lorient is now temporarily at the top of the table but you know today there is plenty weird results in the major leagues so...
Tomorrow there is an interesting game between Lille - Nice and PSG - Strasbourg.

I've guessed this will happen to Monaco, don't just rely on the better players at a club, look more at other things, it's better

It will be an interesting match between Lorient Vs Monaco, I have a feeling that Lorient will win this match based on the handicap, or a win for Monaco with a very small result.

Based on Asiabookie.info, Lorient Gets Handicap +0.75, Surely This Is An Opportunity, I Don't Agree With The Tips They Say In The Website

Source: https://www.asiabookie.info/french-ligue-1-tips.html

My Prediction:
1. Lorient 1 - 0 Monaco
2. Lorient 1 - 1 Monaco
3. Lorient 2 - 1 Monaco
4. Lorient 0 - 1 Monaco

Tomorrow there is an interesting game between Lille - Nice and PSG - Strasbourg.

PSG Vs Strasbourg

It's clear that PSG will win in the match against Strasbourg, but on the handicap, I'm not sure that PSG can break it. Based on Asiabookie Strasbourg Get +1.75 Handicap.

My Prediction:
PSG 2 - 0 Strasbourg
PSG 1 - 0 Strasbourg
PSG 3 - 1 Strasbourg
PSG 3 - 0 Strasbourg

Lille Vs Nice

Lille managed to become champions in the previous season and became winners in the French Super Cup match against PSG, in the first Ligue 1 match of the season they were only able to draw against Metz.

On the other hand, Nice played pretty well in friendly matches and also drew against Reims.

My Prediction:
Lille 1 - 1 Nice
Lille 0 - 1 Nice
Lille 2 - 1 Nice
Lille 0 - 2 Nice

Yesterday I lost my bet. I didn’t think Monaco would be defeated. They had a very stable performance in the previous season. But I didn't expect them to start this season in such a bad way. Although they didn’t play badly yesterday. They possessed 72% of the ball. They also attacked a lot. But they could not penetrate Lorient's defense. With the defeat, Monaco started the season.

[Karartma1]

Lorient-Monaco is opening the second day of Ligue 1 and it'll be played tonight.
Monaco started their journey in this edition of Ligue 1 with a not exciting 1-1 home draw against Nantes.
Lorient, on the other hand, drew 1-1 at Saint Etienne.
I predict an entertaining game with at least one goal on each side, although Monaco should be able to win and earn three points.

I lost touch during the summer, that was a crap bet. 
A penalty by Nigerian striker Terem Moffi helped Lorient to win against Monaco. Notwithstanding the territorial supremacy and also the number of shots on goal, Monaco failed to find the way of the draw.
I'll try another bet for Ligue 1 with a correct score:
PSG-Strasbourg 2-1

There are plenty of star players in the team, and coach Pochettino needs to create bonding between players before sorting out match strategies. The UCL title cannot be expected if the players are not properly coordinated. The bonding between Messi and Neymar is very good. At the same time, both Messi and Neymar can play well with Di Maria. Even though Ramos has ego problems, but he will think of Messi as a friend now. The only problem with the team is Mbaape. He may want to score alone, he may want to be the best scorer in the league. If is think like that, it will have a terrible bad effect on the team.

Pochettino can work and build up bonds between Messi, Di Maria, Neymar but I don't know about Mbappe. He wants to leave PSG and the appearance of Messi will make he wants to do it as fast as possible.

With Messi in Paris, Mbappe might win Champions League but he will not be biggest star in Paris. Now he will have to compete with not only Neymar but also with Messi. He will have to wait 2 or 3 years to beat Messi. From the Euro 2020, I see Mbappe is very impatient.

He is becoming hurry and selfish because he wants to be the best player now.

You are right. Mbappe is becoming very selfish. We have seen his performance in the Euros. Despite the team of talented players like Giroud, Grizman and Benzema in the team, Mbappe could not adapt to them. I have seen in several matches, he has preferred to score his own goals from the team's score and has done useless shots. The team also missed scoring many easy goals only for Mbappe. We’ll see this thing even if he’s at PSG.

[mv1986]

Now that it is pretty much certain that Messi will go to PSG, what team of the French league do you guys think could even get close to threaten PSG? The only thing that can stop PSG then is injuries. I can't think of anything else that might seriously threaten them to not win the title. Neymar, Mbappe and Messi is probably even stronger than Neymar, Suarez and Messi.

The deadly trio currently owned by PSG is not impossible, they will be able to easily grab the league 1 title this season, especially since PSG in the last few seasons have always had a qualified squad to compete in the French league, especially with the arrival of Lionel Messi to a club based in France. the French capital is not impossible for them to win the title this season, but we also cannot underestimate there are some dark horse teams who will keep PSG's steps to win this phenomenal season, for example like Marseille, Lyon, and also Last season's reigning champions were Lille

Now I just read a report that Mbappe isn't so happy about Messi's transfer and allegedly asked his bosses to get the permission to leave, most likely to Real Madrid. Would Mbappe really do that now that Messi arrived? I don't believe that because there is nothing Mbappe has to fear. He is still one of three super superstars and he would perfectly benefit from Messi's play style. Messi not perfectly how to bring his team mates into a perfect position, how to precisely play the ball such that Mappe could maximally benefit from his speed. Would be stupid to leave now for Real Madrid.

If Mbappe is not a fool, he will not do conflict with Messi. Mbappe is still a young player. He has a lot to learn from experienced players like Messi. It is necessary to be the best player in the future. Otherwise, he will fall behind Haaland in the future. However, I hear another rumor that if Mbappe wants to leave the club, PSG will try to get Ronaldo in the team. Will we see the best trio(Neymar-Ronaldo-Messi) in the world?

Mbappe has the chance to get on Messi's and Ronaldo's level. His speed and technique are insane. I wouldn't understand him leaving now as the teams he is dreaming of, namely Barcelona and Real Madrid, are not the same anymore as they used to be. PSG has a good future and a couple of clubs in the Premier league are highly attractive. Barcelona and Madrid are a bit outdated I think. I hardly know any of the players anymore and they don't really have any superstars. If Agüero is the best player Barcelona has to offer, my lord, it is game over for them.

The game between Lille and Nice has already started. And Lille are 1-0 behind in their home match now. Dolberg's early goal wasn't expected by Lille I guess. Lille's Turkish stars (Y. Yazici and B. Yilmaz) both are playing in this game. I wonder if they will manage to make a comeback. They didn't start very good by drawing with Metz 3-3.

It's a big humiliation for the last champion Lille in their own home. Nice scored 2 goals in first 5 minutes and the nightmare started for Gourvennec and his players. They couldn't show any resistance against Nice attacks.
Now easy win expected for Paris Saint-Germain against RC Strasbourg. What are the odds for that? I take 2 handicap PSG win for 1.80 odds.

[Slow death]

oh shit, what the hell was that:

Lille 0 - 4 Nice

Lille lost in a very humiliating way, conceded 4 goals and to make matters worse he couldn't even score at least 1 goal, but he had more ball possession... that's very bad for the start of the season, as I see this season and I'm absolutely sure that the champion will be PSG

[Oneandpure]

I am so excited to watch PSG tonight but after see line up not any interested yet, they still not include Messi, Donnaruma and Srgio Ramos on line up starting player. I hope they can play on third Ligue 1 game and almost PSG player have completed, but tonight I will watch PSG although without my favorite player and they still watch on stadium.

Tomorrow there is an interesting game between Lille - Nice and PSG - Strasbourg.

Lille are having a nightmare now. First, they drew with Metz 3-3. Now, they lost to Nice 0-4 home. I really don't understand what's happening to them. They are the last champions in the end. How come did they lose their form that much? I hope that they can pull themselves together before it's too late.

When it comes to the PSG - Strasbourg game, I was excited about it because I thought that we would see Neymar - Mbappe - Messi trio in this game. But when I saw the lineups, I was devastated. Messi and Neymar were not even in the subs. But PSG still seem that they will win the game easily. They are already 2-0 ahead now.

Lot of missing player even di maria and neymar are not playing the first half was very good they managed to score 3 goals but now in the second half they are playing poorly and they conceided two goals and they are not able to hold possession they need some fresh legs unfortunatly there is not much in the available on the bench.

Real Madrid was literally on semi-finals of UCL last season, PSG lost a way before that. I do not know which game you are watching but Madrid is still a good team, we do not know how they will be like this season but I can only speak on behalf of last season and they were really good, better than PSG for sure.

This season however PSG got every good free player in the world, and they are definitely great right now, and Donnaruma is young so he may stay there, but aside from that all those Messi, ramos, wijnaldum type of acquisitions are older players who will not be there for too long.

Mbappe could learn more from Messi that is for sure and he should stay I agree with that, but if he wants to leave, Madrid is not a terrible choice, plus when you add Mbappe to Madrid and remove Mbappe from PSG, that surely makes Madrid a better club as well. It is not just about names, you can get the best 11 in the world but if they do not get alone well, then you will not be good.

So PSG already won the title right?
Lille already lost 4 points and they should be their top contender.

PSG can do a second-team too and play for the second spot in the league.

It dosent mean that PSG won the title because Lille lost there is Lyon and other teams. But PSG currently has the best team in football history and the most expensive one . But PSG won big even like you said with the second squad . I dont see how anyone from the league can even compete against the first squad of PSG
