French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Bloodseekers]

although paredes got a yellow card but he played well by contributing 1 goal for PSG. bordeaux played quite well but Navas also protected the PSG goal well, I also pay attention to messi's performance, it seems that he doesn't show a satisfactory performance, only neymar and mbappe who showed great performance.

PSG after being eliminated in the Champions League, managed to beat Bordeaux with a 3-0 score. although this is not a balanced opponent but this victory is a medicine for PSG players to vent their frustration after being defeated by Madrid. I think PSG for this season can be said to have won the French League even though the match is still long. PSG can focus only on the domestic league. It's a shame that they had to be eliminated from the Champions League, even though it was the Champions League that was their hope.

if you look at the difference in points with competitors, their consistency in the domestic league and also their players, no one doubts them to win the league this season even I say they can win the league early because of the points that are impossible to fall behind.
The defeat to Real Madrid in the UCL is very natural. I think because Real Madrid is the king of the UCL, they have a very high mentality when they play in the UCL.

We watched a match between the first and last team in the standings today. PSG hosted Bordeaux and destroyed them by a result like 3-0. Neymar and Mbappe both scored in this game but Messi didn't make any contribution to the team by a goal or an assist. He hasn't scored any goal for four weeks in the Ligue 1. This is still not the Messi we want to see. He is far away from his times at Barcelona this season. I understood in his first times here as he was trying to adapt to the team. But he is Messi and he should have started being better than this already.

PSG again got a promising victory, PSG managed to beat Bourdeaux with a score of 3-0, in my opinion even though Messi did not score, Messi played a major role in the creation of PSG's victory, Messi's movements and passes were able to trouble Bourdeaux's defense, with this victory further strengthen PSG's position at the top of the standings..

Kylian Mbappe once again lead his team with scoring, then Neymar and Leandro get goals equally single goal.  

However, Messi and Neymar are getting extremely clearly whistled with each touch they make against Bordeaux. It seems like supporters blew up over Messi and Neymar as both performance lead champions league dismissal somehow. Ligue 1 trophies isn't their priorities but Champions League. They sure they deserve it, they're simply waste of investment. Especially Neymar.

I read the text broadcast of the match and it seems that now the PSG fans are booing everyone (especially Neymar and Messi) except Mbappe (who is leaving the club). On the one hand, this is funny, but on the other hand, Mbappe gives all his best and it's hard to deny. And with regard to the rest of the players, it seems that the fans had a fracture in their minds and now they see them only as mercenaries who earn a lot of money but do not give results.

What a beginning of game for Rennes team a 2 0 lead in the first half, quick 2 goals after less than 15 minutes left lyon team shocked and since the goals they have been playing poorly not able to threaten the opposition they need to find solutions soon because they are playing home and they need the points to get close to the european seats.

I admit Mbappe has always given his best and scored more goals than any other PSG star ahead of them but Mbappe is said to be moving as well.
Rumors also say Neymar will also be sold but what is PSG's desire after bringing in a great player but if he doesn't win the UCL everything will be in vain, is that so?
Messi is only a statue but with high fees that are not commensurate with his appearance because he began to decline in his performance.

HT Lyon 0-3 Rennes. Exactly, there was no mistake in executing Rennes chances to appear confident. Bourigeaud, a talented young player this time around, an opening goal and an assist at Half Time proves this player will be in the spotlight apart from Laborde. Even Goal 4 is here again as I write, it was Lyon fault which was too easy to break.

PSG played very well in the match against Bordeaux and they fielded almost all of their main players, I think that makes a lot of sense with a 3-0 win.
no one understands about Messi when he was still at PSG, it's really much different when he was at Barcelona, if you look at his teammates, I don't think there is anything wrong with other PSG players who have almost the same quality as Messi's friends at Barcelona, maybe I see he didn't play with all his heart at PSG so that made his performance very bad.

PSG played really well in their last Ligue-1 match as they should but I really expected goals from Messi. I really think that Messi is not going to perform like he did in Barcelona anymore and it really hurts me to say this. But we all know that these winds does not mean anything because they should have done far better in the Champions League.

The Lyon - Rennes game today was very interesting to tell the truth. Rennes brought the score to 4-0 in the first half already. They got 4 shots on target and all of them ended up with goals. And in the second half, Lyon wanted to retaliate against them. They got 2 shots on target and both of them ended up with goals too. And the final result was 4-2. Rennes got a very valuable win in this tough away game. In fact, Lyon were the favourite team by bookmakers (2.00). But they didn't have even a good performance in this.

Rennes' performance so far has been very satisfying, they managed to win 4-2 from lyon and that victory made them move up to 3rd place in the standings.  marseille will face brest, and the match will take place at home brest. if marseille manages to win then they will shift NICE's position and occupy the 2nd position in the standings.

This match was a very special one. I can't remember seeing 0-4 at halftime. Lyon were favorites to win, but by halftime it was already over. You could have made a lot of money with that if you had predicted that with the bookmakers. The fact that Lyon managed to bring the score back to 2-4 was no longer of any significance. A good day for Rennes. Lyon is now starting to miss Depay.

well despite being given a penalty kick and an own goal but Lyon have not been able to turn things around in this match.
Their performance in the first half until the beginning of the second half was really bad I think.
They seem to lose concentration when giving pressure to opposing players in their area.
On the other hand, they are also focused on ineffective passes because it appears that several goals scored by the Rennes players in the first half were all due to the mistakes of the players who held the ball for too long.

Actually, all kinds of things happened in this game. They scored 4 goals, and then an own goal, and then conceded a penalty which was converted by Lyon.
I think Rennais started to take things easy after they went ahead in the match. If the goal difference comes into play later I think there will be kicking themselves.

Today we have one off most entertaining match of Super Sunday which give a big defeat to home team Lyon with this defeat now their hopes for European qualification for next season have big below because now they are down and need some strong comeback which is not looking good with their current form.

At half-time, result was 0 - 3 which was really shocking, but Rennes were completely in control, and they were not allowing home players for any fight back which give them good advantage with this success now they are at third spot which is not secure but today if Brest beat Marseille then surely they can stay here for some more weeks as now few good teams are struggling but Nice, Rennes And Strasbourg are very good and strong for good end of this season and few teams are unexpectedly going down due to poor form and unpredictable performance in all season.

Lyon's condition is very bad this season. I don't remember if they won 3 matches in a row. They reached the tenth place in the table after the defeat to Rennes. They do not have an experienced striker. At the same time the defense is very weak. They have scored 40 goals in 28 matches and conceded 37 goals. This season they may be in the 6/7 position at the table. But if the new striker is not included in the team, their condition will deteriorate further next season.

No matter how good a team is, when they concede early goals it weakens the team and will make them start fighting for draw instead of their original motive of winning the game.
When Lyon conceived the first goal, I called it a mistake. But when the second goal entered I notice it will be difficult for lyon to upturn the result but lyon was showing that they could until the third goal and it became done on them.
Despite that during the match lyon made a large dominance but it did not save them. It is good to always avoid early goals.

I honestly think the problem is the coach. Because, if the coach was someone like Zidane, he would have managed the team far better. Because then if any player set that I would not want to do this, he would have said that ""I'm Zidane, you do what I say"" , he has enough confidence to say like that & dominance over other.
But the other coaches certainly cannot do that in my opinion, and that is a big problem, to be honest.

I can see there performance is very well against Bordeaux as they are already leading with three goals

Yes they are leading with 3 goals and they are the strongest in Ligue 1, but I am still always confused that Messi is not scoring, Kylian Mbappe scored the first goal, Neymar scored the second goal while Leandro Daniel Paredes scored the third goal, I am still surprise that Messi is playing in the front and yet not scoring well. Maybe it is age that is telling or maybe other players are not working well with him believing in the old players there like Mbappe and Meymar.

Age is indeed quite influential, but on the other hand, in this case, Messi's adaptation can be said to be quite slow because he still has not been able to adapt well in Ligue 1, especially at PSG.
But it's quite natural, he's only moved for the first time now and indeed the pattern of Messi's game with PSG, I don't think is very suitable and will only make the goat confused, so it's very difficult to make goals there unlike at the previous club.

[mv1986]

... Did you see bad quality in the game between Real Madrid and PSG until the minute when Benzema scored after a mistake? I didn't see bad quality. That was absolute outstanding. They were dangerous as *** offensively, and they were doing ok defensively. The reason that these players can't perform at their maximum all the time in Ligue 1 is because they have seen and won so much, I think it is just human that you can't play at 110%. You are just not able to motivate yourself so hard because you are usually going to win the national title anyway. But really, speaking of low quality is quite far off...

I also completely disagree that Paris Saint-Germain showed poor quality of play in the match with Real Madrid. If it hadn't been for Donnarumma's monstrous mistake and then the referee's unwillingness to fix the violation of the rules of the game, then PSG should have calmly won this match because it looked much more solid in the game. Carlo Ancelotti would have been on the verge of being fired from Real Madrid, because before this match there were rumors that Florentino Perez was very unhappy with the first match and threatened to fire the head coach if the club did not advance to the next stage of the tournament. Another question is that such a strong team should not fall apart in a few minutes, as happened after Benzema's second goal, and this is some fault of the average level of the French championship, where the absolute majority of teams do not pose such problems to such an indisputable leader as PSG.

Yes, but are you referring to Donnaruma's situation when you say that the referee was unwilling to punish Benzema for his attack? I must honestly say that I do agree it was probably a foul, but I wasn't surprised there was no whistle. It was one of these situations where there is so much drama in the game and Donnaruma did indeed *** it up, that a referee might just let the game continue. The VAR can't even do much as far as I know in such a situation.

The French league now will be some sad final weeks. PSG without motivation, but still bringing home the national trophy, but nobody in the world cares. Sad to not see Mbappe play anymore in the CL. The guy is an absolute beast and a future world soccer player.

Well indeed in this case it might be a long debate about the incident that befell Benzema and Donaruma but on the other hand the match is over and the referee's decision cannot be contested in this matter.
Winning a trophy in the domestic league for them is not too strange so it's because they have now dominated there even since a few years ago so it's very natural that no one cares about it

That's of course correct and I really didn't want to challenge the referee's opinion. In fact other referees might have decided the same way.

Anyway, the win of PSG with 3 -0 was accompanied by the fans yelling at Neymar and Messi. This is probably not how Messi envisioned his stay at Paris. Then again, I think he doesn't even care anymore. He won 6 trophies as a world soccer player and is most likely not going to win another one. Let's see if Mbappe can one day manage to get close to him in terms of trophies. Mbappe is certainly a real rocket.

Messi is only a statue but with high fees that are not commensurate with his appearance because he began to decline in his performance.

PSG at the end of the season is in ruins: they lose 200 million euros that Real Madrid offered them for Mbappe and he leaves for free. Neymar +- plays, but it is impossible to sell him even for a third of the amount that was once paid for him. Messi has become a mere museum piece (although he is only 34 years old) - he has a big name, but it quickly fades.
A sad story for the sheikhs who wanted trophies, but will only get the championship in the fifth league of Europe
