French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[BITCOIN4X]

Messi does not need much to win the match in Ligue 1 PSG. Ligue 1 teams are not very. It will not be difficult for PSG to win against them. Because besides Messi, there are strikers like Mbappe, Di Maria and Icardi. PSG's goalkeeper and defense are good enough.

PSG can win the title this season even when they don't have Messi in the team regardless of whether he has to help his country or for some other reason. PSG already have enough points in the table compared to other teams so they are not too risky when some of their players are absent including Messi.

So far PSG have Mbappe who is quite consistently scoring goals in almost every match, he will help PSG win the match besides that they still have many other good players in their squad. I don't think Nice is a team that will threaten PSG to lose the title this season even though they have been pretty consistent in winning their last few match.

From the beginning I always knew that the League was not going to be a problem for PSG, but the Champions League is something else, I think that is the strength of everything, of course it does not mean that the interest in the local tournament is less important , but what they continue to opr most now is the outcome of the UCL, I think that if they continue to play that way they will be able to achieve many things and if they manage to understand how I think it can be, it is likely that no player will leave the team.

In last few seasons they are not looking for Ligue 1 because they know it's usual business for them right now their main focus is on Champions League which is the biggest challenge for them in lase few seasons, and they sack Tuchel and bring new coach just because of this title but sadly right now it's not easy for them to having this in this season again because they are very good but still having not enough power to score more goals against quality teams.

If they have done some better homework and have better strategy then surely they can win but with current state of mind it's not easy for them as most of the time they are doing big mistakes which are having some bad impact on their game and result of game.

I think easy for PSG how defeat Lille because is not the same with Lille last season where success become the champion of Ligue 1, now Lille out from top team position standing on Ligue 1 because have been on 10th position standing right now although success pass to champion league next stage. I don't see Lille as bigger team in this season because they have inconsistent performance every match. Last week Lille lost from Brest with score 2-0 and I have prediction PSG will lead with bigger score above 3 goal defeat Lille next week. PSG have focus with champion league too but not really different with player composition of PSG between regular and non regular.

PSG will not lose to Lille, that is the most realistic result I can think of from this match. Lille are not in the same form as last season so they are only in 10th place at the moment. I wouldn't believe they would qualify for the Champions League next season even though at the moment they still have a chance to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

I mean obviously, but does that even bother anyone? I feel like Lille fans are quite happy, they won the league against one of the most dominant team in the league history and now they could sit back and relax and enjoy the show for a few more seasons without worry. I keep saying that if you are not a dominant team that spends 10x more than others, then you do not have to worry about too much, there are 3 options for you, either you relegate, or you stay afloat without doing anything and just go for next year, or you go to European competitions if you are at the top.

Lille could have been top 5 and go to Europe next season, that would be ideal, but even without that, they broke this cycle and did something other than this three, they became champions and that's amazing.

I absolutely agree, because Paris Saint-Germain somehow managed without the help of Messi before and the absence of an Argentine player should not have a fatal impact on the outcome of matches. Another question is that Mbappe, who contributes a significant share to the success of the club, seems to be going to leave the club at the end of this season and it will be interesting to see how the club can bear the loss of its best forward. However, Mbappe has not yet announced anything about his future to representatives of PSG and Real Madrid and seems to be going to do after the match of the 1/8 final of the Champions League. Also because of this, it's time for Messi to start playing a more decisive role in the club's game, because that's what he was signed for.

Messi will certainly improve his scoring (it's inevitable when you play at a club like PSG), but the fact that his current performance is much less than expected puts a lot of pressure on him. He is lucky to have scored several Champions League goals for PSG, which is a good argument against critics who criticize him at every opportunity.

Messi is unavailable for a longer time, he still couldn't recover from the affects of coronavirus he had. Considering his age this long break must affect him worse. I believe he will come back stronger but he needs time now. Paris Saint-Germain is in very comfortable position in Ligue 1 and Champions League matches won't start soon so there won't be any problem for his team.

He already played in the last match of PSG (he came on as a substitute), I have not heard anything about the fact that he will need additional time to recover. He was absent for not such a long time - less than a month, Neymar, for example, has been absent longer. I don't think that with the best medicine in existence, the recovery time will be long.

I also don't think that the recovery time will be long especially when he has already played as a substitute in the last match. But for Messi to get back in scoring regularly might take a little more time than him recovering to his 100% health. And this is also true that he will get the best medicine in existence, as he is the best football player in existence. Overall I don't think that he will be away for much longer and it wont to be long before we see him scoring unbelievable goals again.

PSG went to finals against Bayern just a few seasons ago without Messi as well. Now they have more players, players like ramos, wijnaldum and even Donnaruma if they didn't play Navas this much. I assume that he didn't know he would become a bench player when he accepted, he though he would be their number one goalkeeper when he was offered that much money, but they literally spent that much for their bench player, to replace Navas in the future, weird move but understandable.

So, messi wasn't really someone they "needed", it was someone to flex their financial power but definitely not needed. Considering the new owner of Newcastle is x10 richer AT LEAST, I can't wait to see what kind of flex they will do in the future, but in order to convince great players, first they need to win some stuff.

Argentina may not have much trouble winning against Chile. However, Colombia is a strong opponent. Argentina's Messi was very much needed in this match. Because Colombia plays offensively. They needed an experienced striker like Messi to win against them

Messi role at PSG for now is not very vital, because PSG still has many other star players who can indeed replace Messi role when he is absent, but that is not the case with his role in Argentina in my opinion, so far Messi has been is a motor of the game from Argentina in the match , and you can see in today, chile vs argentina match even though argentina won, but argentina lost in possession of the ball and even they created few chances to score.

[Boristhecat]

I think it will be a match between the former champion and the future, and for PSG it will be an additional motivation to prove to everyone that they are the real champions and avenge last year's defeat. So even though it will be a difficult match, I expect PSG to win big, maybe 3-0 or 4-1. Therefore, most likely I will bet on the total and on the victory of PSG.

This season Lile is not as good as last season despite being the defending champion. So far Lille has only won 8 of the 20 matches he played, certainly not something to be expected after last season's impressive performance and won the title.

PSG's victory will certainly be very possible because Lille does not have a strong defense this season. If last season Lile conceded only 23 goals in 38 match, then this season they have conceded 30 goals in 22 matches. This might be a good factor to judge PSG's big win later. I have a 3-1 prediction for PSG to win, but maybe it could be bigger.

Betting on the correct score is a really tempting idea, as the profit will be significant if successful, but a couple of bad goals (maybe it will be 5-1 instead of 3-1) can ruin everything. Most likely I will make a multi bet on the victory of PSG, on BTTS and on total over. In total, this will give a coefficient greater than 4, which will be a very good win if successful.

The next match of PSG seems to be really interesting. They are going to play away against Lille which are the last champion team in the league. But apart from that, they are doing really bad this season. They are at the 10th position in the standings currently. They lost to Brest by 2-0 away the last time but their general form recently has been good actually. If they maintain it by the coming matches, they can continue to climb to upper positions. But PSG is a big hindrance for them. Their chance of winning the match may be not high but they could draw with PSG at least.

Sorry I don't know what will be the attraction in the PSG vs Lille match later?
Because in my opinion, the remaining matches in ligue 1 now no longer provide much competition in the race for the title, after PSG managed to leave the other team with 11 points and it was impossible for other teams to catch up.
Lille were indeed champions last season and their performance last season was quite enough extraordinary, but this season lille is just like other teams in ligue which are relatively weak when dealing with PSG, at the first meeting of this season, PSG managed to destroy Lille with a score of 2-1 and it is likely that PSG will repeat the victory again .

I confirm that PSG have already been in a very comfortable position in the league this season. And this makes their matches less attracting too. But I still want to enjoy some of their league matches at least. And this could be one of these matches. Because the opponent is Lille. Yes, Lille are not even close to their position and performance in last season. But they are still one of the decent teams of this league and PSG shouldn't underestimate them. We know what Lyon did and Lille can do the same too if PSG don't have the full control of the match.

We all know that PSGis a big club with high performance, before Messi also in that club. They also have great layers that can play very potentially and powerfully far.
It is different from the role of Messi in Barcelona at that time, where he becomes the superstar of the club and his existence is undoubtful.
But in PSG, not that much.
However, we cannot also deny that Messi also brings new air and power to be a much greater club again, giving another support that needs in the club.

Messi can be said to be not an important player with PSG, his performance is less promising after 22 matches domestically he is only able to score 1 goal and is the player who has the least contribution to PSG this season. However, there are still many alternatives for PSG to replace Messi like Di Maria so that when Messi is absent due to injury there is no significant impact for PSG. However, there are still 16 games remaining in Ligue 1 and the last 16 of the Champions League to see if Messi's capacity is still worthy as the world's best player or if he is no longer an important player.

Predicting about correct score is never been easy as we all know there are many betting sites offering big jackpots just because of these and having millions of USD in prize money, but I never watch any one having this because It's really hard job I personally have done this for many seasons and never have more than 4 correct results out of 10 which is also a good personal record for me.

Now about this match with current form of PSG and Lille I am having 3 - 0 or 4 - 0 is excellent but PSG is unpredictable side, and they can face trouble to score one goal sometime which is usual business for them. Going with these are never been ideal just do with some handicap or simple bet is also good even odds are not ideal but French League has never been good for doing these type bets.

The Lille - PSG game is getting close and I think that PSG might have some difficulties in this game. First of all, Lille are obviously not playing like in the previous season and they are having a problematic season now. However, their recent form has actually been decent. And maybe they can be good enough to do the same Lyon did to PSG some time ago. But Lille will definitely need to score the first goal of the game. If PSG score first, then I don't think that they would lose any point. But in the other case, Lille can at least have a chance for a draw in the worst case.

I think PSG might have the edge over Lille just because they have players who can singlehandedly win them games.

But that doesn't mean that they will win each and every game because their chemistry is not that good compared to other teams. Maybe Lille will be able to give a good fight, but a lot will depend on who scores the first game as that will determine the momentum of the game.

We all know Lille is not in their best form this season. They have played 22 matches so far, and were only able to win 8. Moreover, they lost in their last match, I think PSG is the favorite and also have high probability of winning the game. Although, am not underrating Lille, because just like you stated, they are probably improving a bit lately. And might decide play the game defensively will be however make it really difficult for PSG to score.

[CLS63]

It looks like the most popular game now is Lille vs PSG. I don't consider it as a "big game" to be honest. Because Lille are not even near their last season performance right now. How are they going to make us watch a very delightful game in the end? Maybe they could take advantage of playing in their home stadium here but I don't expect Lille to be too effective against PSG. I believe that PSG will have the game under control most of the time and win it by one goal at least.

I would say that Messi just doesn't feel like he wants to play, that is too obvious whenever you watch him. Not because he is not a great player, obviously he is one of the best players in the world and one of the best in the history of the sport, there is no denying that. However, he just doesn't feel it in PSG, if he went to City, with Pep there then I am sure that he would have been a lot better, dude knows that system and he would be happy.

With PSG, and with all this thing with Mbappe leaving because of him, all the Ramos situation who he hates (we assume it but good educated guess), it is just not happening at all. This is why I feel like there is nothing we could let pass that easily for him right now. I would say give up hope, he just doesn't feel like playing and when a player like him shuts the game off, the retirement can't come soon enough.

PSG have good players who each want to stand out for themselves, so messi's performance is very bad when compared to when he was at barca

Mbappe's performance is still much better. btw, Neymar is recovering and I'm worried that Messi will be on the bench more often when all the reliable players at PSG are fit

Yes, I felt like that, Messi will be great when the coach understands how he plays. Pep is one of them, but the great players will certainly adapt easily whatever the scheme. Messi can't be like what another coach wants. I don't know what his problem is, In Barcelona, he was great together with Neymar. he should be like that in the changed club with the same person. I believe Messi has lost confidence since rarely created goals.

[TopT3ns]

Lionel Messi's stats are very poor with PSG this season, from 44 shots on goal Lionel Messi was only able to score one goal in Ligue 1 domestic competition, with the status as the world's best player being Lionel Messi's worst performance in his career because he was only able to contribute one goal only so far for PSG. But there are still a few games left and it proves can Messi get up and catch up with his goals this season? or Messi is getting dimmer in the remaining games.
