French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[jakdanyel]

It is a big day for PSG today. Because they are going to announce their championship in the Ligue 1 in case they defeat Lens tonight. Their point gap with the second team is fifteen points now and there are only five weeks left including this one. So it means that they are becoming the champions by winning this match. Lens are one of the in-form teams recently but their probability of stealing a point is really low I believe. PSG would finish the job already now and end the season early too.

What an interesting and entertaining first half between lyon and montpelier, lyon managed to take a 2 0 lead but montpelier team with an impressive performance managed to equalize by scoring two goals on the 45+1 and 45+3 of the first half its not looking good for lyon team with this result they are 6 points away from the sixsth position which means their chances are really slim on participating on an european competitions next season.

The match has been going pretty tough so far, the two teams seem very balanced on every front so it's not surprising that currently the score of 2-2 is still holding up until it enters the 55th minute, although it looks balanced in terms of play, but Lyon are able to create many chances compared to Montpellier, which seems to be trying to look for a draw in today match, seeing the persistence of the lyon players in attacking it looks like we might see a few more goals to be created.

playing at home lyon dominated very well in the first half but it was a shame they were caught off guard at the end of the first half so montpelier were able to create 2 goals at once in a short time. it was a mistake from the lyon players.
if lyon are not able to win in this match i think they will lose hope of being able to win the Europa League ticket.

Lyon really dominated in the match against Montpellier...

throughout the match, Lyon made 27 'shots' and 13 'shots on goal'. If they play as well as before since the start of the season then they will definitely finish in the top 5 and get a ticket for the UCL. but the ticket to the UEL is good enough for Lyon too.

Monaco have been on an insane run in the league for so many weeks. They have been winning for five weeks in the league. And now, they are playing an away game against St Etienne. And they are already 2-0 ahead by the goal they have just scored. It looks like it is going to be a winning streak of six games. And they have the third position in the league standings for now considering they defeated St Etienne. It is really good to see Monaco improving their game so much despite having a bad start to the season.

But unfortunately the position is still not strong, because if Rennes and Strasbourg win then Monaco will return to 5th place. But especially with Rennes, the comparison in the number of goals has a very big gap. If until the end they get the same result (win-win and lose-lose), then in the end Monaco have no chance for a UCL ticket. But yes, Monaco has worked really well until now they have won in a row, this achievement will certainly be good to maintain their performance for the next few matches.

But especially with Rennes

I think that Rennes do not deserve CL spot, since they lost from both contenders for this position in last two rounds, first Monaco at home, than Strasbourg away
would like to see Monaco on position three in the end, and that seems realistic at the moment, with their form
St. Etienne is back while we speak, so anything can happen

The score is 3-1 in favor of Monaco, but the game is suspended due to the behavior of the fans who set up fireworks. An extremely annoying situation and I do not understand why such phenomena have not yet been completely eradicated. These are dangerous things even in a normal environment, and even more so in a crowded stadium.

St Etienne - Monaco game was interrupted in the 67th minute but I don't think that anything will change for Monaco after the rest of the game is played later. They were already overwhelming their opponent by 3-1. The thing I wonder now is what Rennes and Strasbourg will do this week. Because Monaco can take the third place all of a sudden. Rennes have a comfortable game actually against Lorient and I don't wait for any surprise. But Strasbourg have a much harder job against Lille away. They might lose points there.

PSG vs Lens

The match will take place in a few more minutes although I'm sure it's not a very important match for PSG anymore. Currently both teams are at their best especially after being unbeaten in their last 3 & 4 matches in the league. Lens will definitely be aiming for a win because they still have hope of qualifying for the Champions League or Europa League next season so I think they will do well today.

But of course I think PSG will maintain their winning record again in this match, especially since this match takes place at home. PSG will win 3-1 in my opinion, and I hope Messi can score today.

Monaco was the favorite against Saint Etienne. And they won 3-1. It was an expected result. Monaco scored 3 goals but they did not attack much. Monaco made a total of 7 shots. Even after winning this match, Monaco is 3 points behind Marseille. If they can maintain their winning streak, they may be able to move to second place in the table.

It is almost inevitable that Paris St Germain will easily win this match? It looks a bit like they are now playing through the competition, since the title is already in. They could also look into giving new players the opportunity to join the first team. And also nice for the players on the reserve bench to start once in the base to complete the 90 minutes. 3-1 is not an unrealistic score. We can expect some goals in this match.

As I expected, AS Monaco will easily beat Etienne, currently the score in their match is Etienne 1 - 3 AS Monaco.

AS Monaco's 3 goals came from Kevin Volland, Ben Yedder and 1 own goal from Kolo. With this result AS Monaco can be a little more relieved because they are 3 points above Rennes and Strasbourg, meanwhile Saint-Etienne will enter the relegation zone.

Wait so the match is suspended?  this was an easy win for Monaco. What I am watching right now is that 77 minutes have been played and a goal has just been scored by Boadu. The score is 4-1 in favor of Monaco.

Where did I say the match was suspended? the match was finished with a final score of 1 - 4 and a win for AS Monaco. They really converted their shots on goal really well, from 6 shots on goal they managed to make 4 goals.

They've managed to stay away from Rennes and Strasbourg for a while, but do you think they can move Marseille from second place? they are only 3 points away even though Marseille still has 1 game left against Reims tomorrow

[judas]

PSG - Lens game has started and we have left half an hour behind. The current score is still 0-0 but PSG are playing really dominantly now. It is a matter of time that they would score a goal and get ahead. This is an important game for them as they can announce their Ligue 1 title earlier on the condition they win this. And I strongly believe that they will be able to defeat Lens one way or another. It shouldn't be too hard for them with that trio on the front. I think they will win by a result like 2-0 or 2-1.

They've really been really crazy these past few weeks and are going really fast in the table because even now they're in 3rd position although it's still not very safe.
I think if they are still in this form now they can be in the Champions League Zone now because indeed their rivals like Rennes and Starsbourg are in pretty bad form at the moment

[skarais]

Although Messi managed to score in this match, it is a shame that PSG failed to maintain their victory for a few minutes before the match ended. Lens managed to force PSG to a draw even though they had to play 10 with men after one of their players was sent off. Of course this is a disproportionate result for PSG whose victory was almost safe for a few minutes before the match ended.

But now I think it's safe to say PSG will win the title before the season is over.

Actually, all possibilities are possible, Strasbourg has lost a lot of points lately, but Lille is playing poorly as well. Monaco, on the other hand, is a very fit team and can progress without losing points.
It has been determined which of the first 2 teams in the league will be, but we are watching a great race as which team will be the third

Which team do you think will finish third at the end of the Ligue 1 season? I think the strongest candidate for third place in the Ligue 1 standings is AS Monaco, because their next match will be quite easy, this week they face Etienne, but after that they will face Angers, Brest and Lens. Only Lille may come in their way in Week 36 of Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Rennes and Strasbourg still have quite difficult matches, such as Rennes who will still meet Marseille and Strasbourg who will still meet PSG.

Monaco has been on a big winning streak and I believe when teams are like that, the loss is imminent and coming soon. I said the same thing about Barcelona when they were going unbeaten for so long, and that resulted with them losing to both frankfurt and cadiz back to back.

I believe same will happen to monaco, they have been amazing so far but they are going to end up losing eventually. Whereas strasborg and rennes ended up playing in a way that they are doing fine and they will probably win again, they had losses already so it shouldn't really be shocking that they could end up with some wins all over again. This is why I feel like strasborg has the bigger chance, then followed by rennes then 5th would be monaco.

Paris St-Germain as usual failing to keep a clean sheet drew against Lens 1-1 which doesn't surprise me thanks to their bad defense. These guys need to start getting those clean sheets to prove they are a power house in France!

Lyon after a bad weekend last week but managed to bounce back to winning ways with a 5-2 win against Montpelier which is a result I did see coming.

Even after today match they are confirmed as champions but what ha shameful result for them, they are playing at home against ten men Lens and fail to having clean sheet with end this match in a draw now they need to think about their defense which is having some serious troubles for them in throughout season.

In today match they were in total control and having some good number of shots at goal but still fail at 57th minute when Danso Red Carded match was 0 - 0 and after ten minutes they take lead through Messi which was not enough to win this match and 88th minute goal from Jean goal give them a good point which can help them for staying into contention for Europa Cup.
