French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Expecto]

I'm not expecting anything different than a PSG win in the PSG v Monaco game. I'm aware that their last two head-to-head games ended by Monaco's victory and in a draw. But this time is much different than those ones. PSG have been fully dominating the league so far and Monaco don't seem very credible these days. I'm not expecting them to get even one point in this game.

When PSG lost in the past they were not performing really well and it was also almost the start of the season and everyone just got off from the COVID-19 situation. And also some crazy things we're going on in the world cricket. But now they are more than able to win against Monaco because they are performing really well and dominating the league. Odds are pretty much low (~1.5), which means bookies are also preferring Paris Saint-Germain FC.

Except the delicious PSG - Monaco match, Lille - Lyon also could be really worth watching this weekend. I will be favouring PSG and Lille in these matches. We all know how great PSG are doing now. They are the absolute favourite of this match of course. Monaco are on the rise but their job is very hard here. And Lille also haven't been losing in the Ligue 1 for a long time and have a win streak of two matches now. Maybe the point difference with Lyon is only one but Lille can still beat them.

In the previous two matches PSG could only play with a draw but the opponents they faced were Nice and Lens, where both teams are in good form too. Also, in the previous two games for Monaco, the reality is that Monaco doesn't look bad nor at least Monaco still has the ability to be able to put up a tough fight for PSG tomorrow. So yes, with PSG's sometimes disappointing game because they are comfortably at the top of the table, I personally if I had to bet for PSG to win, of course I still doubt it.

Even though they have always lost in negative results in the last meeting against Monaco, PSG now still has a chance to improve their record of meeting with Monaco, now PSG have a squad that can be said to be a collection of the best players in the world, so it is not surprising that they are in at the top of the standings quite comfortably, in fact I think PSG has actually locked the trophy for the Ligue 1 champion this season.

Between Lille vs Lyon even history is not with Lille, but current form have some good impact and after Lille win against Wolfsburg in Champions League crucial match now their confidence is very high, and they can beat them at home because Lyon is having very poor recent form and dropping very badly in table.

With PSG vs Monaco is also not easy for both teams recently PSG is having not good time in Ligue 1 and 2 back to back draw matches mean their firepower is not working as it needs to be done, but Monaco away form is not good they already lost few matches, so this is going to be won for PSG without any serious trouble.

PSG - Monaco game is one of the games of this week that I have been waiting for. I'm planning to watch it and I hope that it is going to be a satisfying game. I think each team would be able score. But I must admit that PSG are performing much better than Monaco now. I see that Monaco are trying to recover in the league but they wouldn't be able to get a point here I assume.

Judging from the standings, Monaco is trying to do better and won 2 times and drew 3 times, this week playing with PSG is certainly a difficult opponent, but PSG has already drawn 2 times in league 1, there is a possibility against Monaco, this is a strong opponent for PSG too. and the match will be satisfying if they hit each other's goals.
Your assumption that PSG can win is possible, but Monaco will provide an optimal match.

PSG and Monaco have similar forms in the Ligue 1 recently. They both scored 10 goals and Monaco conceded one less goal in the last 5 games. But PSG collected two more points. But looking at the conditions of both teams, I can clearly say that PSG are much closer to a victory. And I expect both teams to score. PSG didn't get any win for two match weeks and they can put an end to this by this game.

Monaco have been performing greatly lately. They won their last 2 Ligue 1 matches, and draw their Europe League match today against SK Strum Graz. While, PSG on the other hand is probably the team with the best squad presently at the Ligue 1. And PSG will want to achieve 3 winning points against Monaco. The match will be crucial, and I don't honestly know who will win. But, I think PSG can't give Monaco clean sheet, so both teams will surely score. However, It will definitely be an interesting match.

There is a Lille - Lyon game ahead also and it is a decent game of this weekend too. Lille have a better form these days compared to Lyon. Because Lyon are still having a problematic period. And they would have a really hard time in this away game against Lille too. Above all else, Lille are the last champions in this league. Maybe they aren't as good as last season now but they are still strong enough to be able to defeat Lyon home.

[Alanaz]

It will be a difficult game for Monaco because PSG will have a lot of motivation for this match. I see two reasons for this to happen: 1.) PSG's unsuccessful results in the last games of the championship. 2.) The name of the opponent that will allow them to take the game seriously from the very beginning. As we can see from matches in the Champions League PSG can play well when motivated.

In any case they are very difficult to compare and overall PSG have completely won this game if there are no mistakes.
On the other hand, even though Monaco are performing well, I feel they will only be able to achieve a draw, not a win.
I will play it safe in this match and keep my bet at PSG

Perhaps this makes sense since the coefficient is quite good - 1.47. By the way, this is rather strange considering that this will be a home game for PSG, and the fact that Monaco is playing very poorly this season. I see that Monaco scores a lot and concedes a lot, perhaps here it is worth adding a bet on the fact that both teams will score.

Because in all respects they can't be compared and this is like an absolute victory for PSG.
Monaco appear quite inconsistent in their defense but in the last few matches they have always made goals even if only slightly.
I will follow the advice you said because it is possible that they will also score a goal when the opponent is PSG later

An exciting and entertaining game today between nantes and lens after a strong start from lens and leading the first half 2 0 they performed really terribly in the second half and they let nantes make a comeback and they lost 3 2 with only one shot in the second half by lens and an unexpected result for them especially after the big game they performed against psg now they are at risk of loosing their 5th position to many teams that are one or two points behind them.

Ligue 1 can have the championship split in 2 and I think PSG would win both of them and this is not funny at all as Ligue 1 is still not attractive for a lot of people , even if Messi came to PSG,  but regarding PSG , none of the other teams can fight for UCL or Europe titles this year.

For me , it will be attractive until the end as I don't want to see Saint Etienne relegating as that would be super bad for them in the position they are right now.

Ligue 1 isnt attractive to people like for example premier league or laliga. Lots of teams are really bad and gigants such as Lyon or Marseille are really bad in last couple of years. Messi made a small impact on people to watch the league but only for a short time period

My predictions for this weekend ligue1

Brest 1-1 Montpellier, Reims 1-1 Saint Etienne
Lille 2-1 Lyon , Angers 2-1 Clermont foot
Metz 0-2 Lorient, Rennes 1-2 Nice
Troyes 2-1Bordeaux, Strasbourg 0-1Marseille
PSG 2-1 Monaco

I'm looking forward to adding some of these games to my wager foe the weekend there have been some goals galore for the past 2 weeks so Im also looking forward to adding some over 2.5 tips to my wager. Lyon have been in fine form so opting them for a straight win over Lille.

Currently, no team is going to have some serious threat for PSG into French League as they already have 11 points lead from their opponents. Monaco was good in last season but in current season they are failure as they have very poor run and currently staying at 7th is also very poor from their standard their current form is good, and they can improve some more into coming days.

Today we have a match between Nantes vs Lenz after end of first half Lenz was leading by 0 - 2 but after start of second half home team done very good job and won this match with score of 3 - 2 with 3rd goal in injury time.

EPL, Serie A and Laliga already have their fans in many countries and it has been growing for a long time and over time they have their communities at least in every country. I didn't get that in Ligue 1 and even though star players were brought in at PSG, it still didn't make Ligue 1 more popular. But apart from that if the teams from Ligue 1 can compete further on the UCL stage, then it looks like it will create a stronger magnet for Ligue 1 as a whole and not only about PSG.

A lot of the criticism for Ligue 1 I believe is right but I'd still have no doubt its easily the 5th best league in Europe. Thierry Henry came from the Ligue 1, Zidane came from the Ligue 1. Nearly all the players that won the world cup in 2018 came from Ligue 1. The Ligue 1 creates probably the most superstars and then the premier league just buys them, leaving no space for English players to shine.

I never thought about it that way, but you are definitely right. Interesting facts. The Ligue 1 does indeed bring up a lot of absolutely top players, Ribery also and many others, but it seems like Ligue 1 just isn't very strong in marketing itself as an attractive product globally. That puts the Premier League into the pole position financially and they can pay astronomic salaries.

sait etienne continues bad football. after 17 matches in league 1, it is in the last place. in the last match, they played bad football against rennes. they anchored at the bottom of the league by conceding 5 goals. they have had a very bad performance this season. will they manage to hold on in league 1? i really wonder because for me they are a legendary team. i love green jerseys and their ardent supporters. my childhood was spent in the city of another team with the same colors. that's why i have an emotional attachment to saint etienne. i hope they hold on to league 1 this season. they don't have much of a chance against reims tonight. but i hope they win.
