French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ShowOff]

My prediction about this match is clearly in favor of PSG, but I have a feeling today we are going to have some good number of goals so going with Nice is good but playing over 3.5 goals is much better and safe bet for today match odds are very juicy @2.7.

Nice played very well in the first half. They were able to make PSG unable to create chances that endanger their goal with a solid defense. Meanwhile Nice also managed to trouble the PSG defense with some good chances but still failed to score. I think PSG really struggled to score in this match considering Nice defended well in the first half.

Both teams are still playing a goalless draw but if I'm honest PSG weren't that great in the first half in terms of creating chances other than Di Maria's mistake which should have been a goal. In the second half I hope PSG score and play better than the first half. But if Nice get a good chance then I'm sure they will score and start defending fully to defend the win.

Lyon got a huge win against Lorient in an away game last night. Actually, both teams had similar statistics but one thing was important that Lyon were much more effective about scoring many goals. This 4-1 win should be enough for improving their morale a great deal. Now they are right behind Strasbourg by two points but we will see the other results too. And today, Nice are playing a home game against PSG. Mbappe won't play as he is suspended now. But Messi and Neymar would be enough for a victory too. But Nice haven't been an easy opponent so far. They didn't lose to PSG in two games. Because of this, I'm thinking of giving a chance for Nice's double chance.

Once again, another not so shocking result. People expected Lyon to be bad because they had the same results as Lorient in the last 5 games. However, there is a reason why Lyon is head of lorient in the standings. They may not be the lyon we remember a decade ago, but they are certainly still a great team.

At the end of the day, we are talking about a team that is at the top half to the league versus a team that is at the bottom of the league. This is why the result wasn't shocking to anyone who realized this. The score could be a bit unexpected, 4 goals is not something Lyon does that frequently, they are a bit better on defense than offense, but aside from that the result was expected.

With Messi, Neymar and DI Maria all on board another very poor performance from PSG against very spirited Nice, and they lost the second match in three matches which is really problem for them specially as now they have very few days to face Real Madrid in second league match of Champions League knock out stage.

It's going to be had some negative impact on their next match because they need to give some very good for this match, but today these all stars completely fail to have any good chance, so now they have few days for preparing for this next big game because playing against Real Madrid at their home is never been easy for any team they can thrash their dreams with their super performance in very quick time.

Nice did well to win the three points. PSG didn't need to take any chances in this match because they will soon be playing Real Madrid. It's okay that they lost today. They need to concentrate on winning in Madrid. Winning the last match is no guarantee of going ahead.

In the second half I hope PSG score and play better than the first half. But if Nice get a good chance then I'm sure they will score and start defending fully to defend the win.

Nice won this match and the goal was scored in the 88th minute so Nice could defend not so long until the final whistle sounded, PSG was still not dominant in kicking statistics but still lost to Nice means dominant is more inclined to Nice where they proved they can beat PSG even though they have a lot PSG's favorite in this match but the result still makes us annoyed to see it.
I don't know if Messi isn't fully comfortable playing with PSG yet?

Marseille - Monaco also is a good game this week. And it is important for Marseille to keep their position from Nice. Even if Nice draw with PSG tonight, Marseille will lose their position in the standings temporarily. Marseille should be aiming to be victorious against Monaco. As Monaco haven't had a good form recently, Marseille could take advantage of it. And actually, Marseille also didn't get any win for two weeks but they are still more advantageous than Monaco in my opinion. And they defeated Monaco once in an away game by 2-0 also.

Marseille is able to get a chance to win when they welcome Monaco at home tomorrow, indeed Monaco performance is not consistent, it's almost down and can even say it's bad, yeah. Nice has gone through an extraordinary match even PSG, which is dominant with top players, can't pierce a single goal, the goal difference is only one but it is the key to fighting for at least the 2nd seat in the standings. And Marseille should get 3 more points, interesting.

Nice VS PSG
Quite a thrilling match and I lost my money back on the gamble.
Bad week for me to lose some of the bets I made including this one.
Statistically they are very superior in every way but I think they lost Concentration in the last minute which forced them to take the ball out of their net.
Although it doesn't change anything for PSG but it's a good thing for Nice

Well PSG wanted to win this match,they went with the best team they had currently on paper. But again PSG losing in ligue 1 and im not surprised. I mentioned in this thread earlier today that i wouldnt be surprised if Nice wins. Nice needed this win badly to keep that second place and this win for them is huge

this lost match for PSG shows how they lack motivation in ligue 1 compared to other competitions like CL, this team beats Real Madrid who are doing amazing in La Liga and dominate the match, after that with few days plays and loses against Nice, I am not saying they're a bad team but we all know Real Madrid are better, winning the ligue 1 this early definitely makes it boring for them and spectators.

It's a typical result, when you don't get enough with draw and find winning goal you may concede in last minutes. PSG tried to win the game but failed. If they were okay with a draw then they couldn't concede a goal. In the end nothing change except point difference. PSG is still far ahead of other teams and feel no pressure. Congrats to Nice, they played better and showed how important to play at home.

It was not critical for PSG to lose this match, because they are leading by a wide margin from Nice in the standings. Nizza, on the other hand, had a lot more motivation. They made more attacks than PSG, although PSG have a high level of attacking players. Therefore, I think the match was not important for them.

Nice playing very well this season. Today intestinal two team  Nice vs PSG match.I think both team are very strong in Ligue 1.I think both can chance to win this match.I thinks today Nice can win this match because PSG focus on UCL match they will rest their some good player. I hope nice will win this match, My prediction  Nice 2-1 PSG

Nice didn't win 2-1, but your guess was right. Nice beat Paris SG with 88’th minute Delort’s goal. This was an important win for Nice. Paris SG, on the other hand, can make up for losing points as they already dominate the league. Right now they have a Paris SG team with UCL in mind. We saw this easily in the match against Nice.

People who gave a chance for Nice to win or bet on their double chance won their bets. Nice showed a really decent performance and PSG struggled against them a lot. This scenario happened two more times before and I was ready for a game like this again. Nice won by a 1-0 score and consolidated their place in the standings. PSG had a really big difficulty in this game. Neymar and Messi both played in the absence of Mbappe but this still didn't change anything for them. They didn't find so many goal chances and deserved to lose.

[slaman29]

And about the final, I think Nice is going to be the winner because they already beat FC Nantes twice pretty recently.
Or maybe there could be a twist in the tale. But I really think Nice will win.

And after last night's (or early morning for me) amazing smashing and grabbing from the Parisians, yeah, I think they'll be super motivated to get their hands on this trophy too. Steal ball from Neymar. Pass to win, cross, gozalo. Easy counter. If Andy Delort can also contribute in that final he'll probably be a club legend... of some kind.

Remember he also scored that last min winner against Angers earlier...

I see that Nice beat PSG in terms of strength:

Shots - 11:8; Shots on target - 6:2

Such statistics can hardly be called simple luck. And I also don’t see an argument in justifying PSG with the fact that Mbappe did not play - the composition of PSG is such that they are stronger than any team in France even without Mbappe. Maybe yesterday their concentration was bad because they were thinking about the upcoming match in Madrid.

Totally agree it was a deserved win for nice they were better than psg in every term but i agree that psg team was not the same in yesterday games they didn't play well and they didn't create much chances i think they are thinking about the champions league game its hard for them to play seriously when they have a 13 points lead from the second position, we will see a totaly different performance against real madrid.

PSG I think are in a dangerous position, indeed maybe in the domestic league their position is very safe because their competitors are very far apart on points but this is very dangerous in the Champions League This Sunday they will play against the Spanish giants, namely Real Madrid with this defeat the mentality of the PSG players will certainly be disturbed and this has an impact on their game later. I think PSG management should immediately find a new coach who can take advantage of the presence of Leonel Messi. I doubt that the next match could be that they will lose in the second round because Real Madrid are on fire.

It's too early to say that this defeat was due to the coach and required the management to replace the current PSG coach. This defeat is very reasonable because indeed they are not focused on Domestic league matches, I see even though PSG are in bad form when playing in the domestic league m but they are able to show a very good game in the UCL.
when viewed from the 1st leg game against PSG I believe PSG will be able to win in the second leg later.

Today was a good day for saint etienne and troyes they both won against two of their relegation contenders teams bordeaux and metz things are not looking good for these teams they are not able to win games i think with today score their chances are slim to stay in the ligue 1.

[hahay]

This should be a good moment for Lille to win the match and also to get revenge, because in their first match of the season in reality Lille lost by the promoted team. It was Clermont, I just didn't think the promoted team could beat Lille as defending champions but in fact it happened in their first match. Now both can be said to be in the middle of the standings but still, Lille is the best. The current temporary update, Lille is already leading 1-0 even though the match only started about 5 minutes early and yes, of course it will be an easy win because apart from playing at home, Lille have better quality.
