French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[LittleBitFunny]

Great performance from Troyes against PSG, I can't really say what is wrong with PSG,  a team with such a great squad like Messi, Neymar, Mbape and more was unable to do well in the Champions league, and even finding it difficult to win some games in French League 1, very disgusting. I guess there are some issues within Messi and the current Coach ,So Coming season they should try and Settle out this problems.

Most of the players in the team have problems with the current coach of PSG. At least I think so. And, otherwise the coach is not experienced enough. Otherwise, despite having such a good squad, PSG's performance this season was not as good as expected. Despite having a lot of talented players in the squad, their performance and match strategy were poor.

Since PSG was confirmed to be the winner of the Ligue 1 trophy, I have noticed that PSG's performance has decreased. Even the last 3 matches
in Ligue 1 in a row PSG failed to win, there is no need for PSG to win because PSG are sure to win the Ligue 1 trophy. But if they face Troyes at home
and field the best squad, PSG should be able to win. But unexpectedly PSG only played a draw against Troyes, it seems PSG underestimated Troyes
too much. So PSG, after winning two goals first, could concede two goals by Troyes. I hope PSG can win in the last two games against Montpellier
and Metz, at least PSG can entertain their supporters in the remaining two matches that PSG have to play by beating Montpellier and Metz.

I don't see the quality of the PSG players against Troyes decreasing since they have officially won the league, it's just that a few times their attacks are not effective in making goals. Messi is even reported to have made history for himself during his time at PSG, it was 12 attempted kicks but all of them hit the crossbar. messi's ambition to be able to measure popularity like when he was at barca was very big but that was just his past.

Psg with three games without a win and two of them were at home we all know that they managed to secure the title but with a team as strong as psg the fans allways demand for them to win, the game against troyes seemed to be easy but psg attack wasted many opportunities especially in the second half maybe next season they will became stronger when messi fits in.

PSG is a team that manages to disappoint fans at a very high level, they have the best players in the world, but even with all these great players playing, they have disappointed, for example in yesterday's game, because Sergio Ramos was not playing? since he moved to PSG he has contributed little, it was the worst choice he made himself to move to PSG, PSG's defense has not improved much, they are still fragile, and that way they didn't get far in the champions league, Salvador's messi in barcelona since he arrived at PSG has not been the same player he was in barcelona. in my opinion it was a signing that was not worth it in terms of performance in the field, perhaps it may have only been worth it in terms of having created a lot of attention for PSG

You are absolutely right that PSG's performance this season has disappointed the fans, although PSG won the Ligue 1 trophy, it was not enough
to satisfy the supporters. Because PSG's main target this season is to win the Champions League trophy, but unfortunately PSG must be eliminated
by Real Madrid, it didn't just disappoint its supporters. However, PSG management is also very disappointed with PSG's performance so far,
because by spending huge sums of money on several star players, it turns out that the results are still far from what was expected. Therefore,
Pochettino is quite likely to be sacked at the end of this season, with PSG's failure this season to win the Champions League trophy. Moreover,
the contribution of Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi is still considered not in accordance with the large salaries received by the two players.
 
There are still quite a lot of things that must be improved by PSG next season, I hope next season PSG can perform even better with a new coach
who is experienced in handling a team that has many star players. Actually the key to success for PSG is being able to have a coach who is able to
make PSG's star players work well together. Because I see PSG players don't have good cooperation, because most of the star players that PSG
have played rely on their individual abilities. In fact, in football, teamwork is the most important thing.

It was a good week for Monaco and Marseille both. Maybe Monaco still couldn't take the second place in the standings but they are still maintaining their wonderful winning streak. It must be like eight games now if I'm not mistaken. This huge form can help them a lot about achieving a bigger success at the end of the season but let's see. It depends on what Marseille and Rennes will do also. And for Marseille, it was a very productive week. They erased Lorient by 3-0 in an away game of theirs and stayed at the second place also.

Bordeaux is 100% relegated, best scenario is playing relegation play-offs. Metz is almost in the same situation.
St-Etienne still has a chance to survive relegation play-offs, although it will be a hard mission since they have 1 missing game comparing to the others.
Toulouse and Ajaccio and/or Auxerre will join Ligue 1 in the next season. Apart Toulouse, the other two haven't been in Ligue 1 for quite long time.

[jostorres]

Troyes did well their job, they were outstanding performance against PSG.They did at least draw to end the match.PSG vs Troyes match scored 2-2. If PSG goal was not cancelled then they can get win that match. PSG lost the point their some mistake. But PSG fans are not happy with this performance because their team is very strong and they have some star player. PSG fans are expecting much more but they didn’t get it.I hope PSG will be win site in their next match.

PSG has indeed secured the Ligue 1 title. However, PSG's performance in the last few matches might make their fans disappointed. Because, PSG struggle to win even when they meet lower teams. Troyes is a team that is in 15th position in the Ligue 1 standings. However, they were able to steal a point from PSG headquarters. In fact, when PSG were two goals ahead. Previously, PSG were also held to a draw by Strasbourg with a score of 3-3. Prior to that, PSG were held to a draw by Lens with the score 1-1 at home.

It's not a shock that PSG would fail to win some games, after all they guaranteed championship, and to be fair they did so in like week 10 or so, rest of the season was just watching who would be second or third, because they started the season with a big fire.

I am guessing that even though they won the league, they won't be able to hold Mbappe, that's just my feeling for some reason and I do not know why, I just do not feel like there is any chance that they would keep him somehow. Let's wait for it to happen of course, but I imagine that the best case right now would be to keep Messi and Neymar and hope that they could get a good striker.

I think St Etienne still stand a chance, especially if they are able to win their game in hand and their 2 remaining games. At the moment it seem like an impossible task. Another thriller is the champions league spot for next season as Rennes drags it out with Monaco, while Nice and Strasbourg also want europa league football next season. What are your predictions towards the new game week

Only both clubs with interesting to watch because they are still fighting to be eligible for the champions league zone. Marseille is superior than Monaco because have 3 different points left. But, with 2 remaining matches left, they are still many possibilities for Monaco to shift the Marseille position. When I look at Monaco's statistics, they have won 8 games in a row, while Marseille is unstable, lost versus Lyon and PSG., and losing hurts in the semifinals versus Feyenoord. I believe we can see the surprise for both clubs until the finish.

The large funds spent in the transfer market have not been able to meet the expectations of club officials, PSG appearance still looks normal, and it is still difficult to compete in European competitions. Even though they managed to secure the Ligue 1 trophy, PSG's performance cannot be said to have improved, the presence of Leonel Messi in the PSG squad has not been able to make a contribution as was done when he was still active as a Barcelona player.
Messi can show off his sharpness while still defending Barcelona, ​​he can also always score double-digit goals for 15 consecutive seasons with Barcelona. A good record with Barcelona stopped after wearing a PSG uniform, Messi seemed to have difficulty scoring goals with PSG. During the 2-2 draw against Troyes, Messi name was not listed on the scoreboard, once again Messi failed to bring PSG to victory, even though PSG had been 2-0 up.

PSG have celebrated their success this season because they have lifted the trophy this season, Marseille and Monaco are only 3 points adrift, from the two remaining matches Monaco can be said to still have a chance to finish in 3rd place in the standings, because they do not have a difficult opponent, while Marseille have to face ranners, Strasbourg, although Marseille has 3 points above Monaco but Marseille must not be careless, because if they stumble Marseille will lose the position in second place standings.

Another thriller is the champions league spot for next season as Rennes drags it out with Monaco, while Nice and Strasbourg also want europa league football next season. What are your predictions towards the new game week

Most chances these teams are not going to survive just one chance playoff is having something for these all three teams tonight St Étienne is going to face Nice which is fighting hard for their chance of European competition which is not easy and tonight match is very important for them so here I have feeling St Étienne is having no chance against this quality team. So, with this these all teams are going to face same survival race which can end in any team's defeat.

Monaco is having amazing run and now staying at third with chance of slipping at fourth because Rennes is also doing amazing job and can claim their third spot back which is having Champions League qualification chance, but their game against Marseille is having some big impact on these two teams and giving good advantage to Monaco.

For the second game in a row, Psg conceded two goals from not very strong teams. Offensively, everything is in order, even in the absence of Messi and Neymar. But the defense is not yet in good condition. Perhaps Ramos will change the situation for the better. Pochettino will have to work hard to create a balance in the team, otherwise, in games with stronger teams, PSG will be severely disappointed.

In the last 3 matches PSG have never won and only got a draw, although it is no longer affected because it has been confirmed to lift the title this season, with 3 draws I think the fans will feel disappointed with the player's performance, even though all the players played their best game but they were not able to beat their opponents, Messi always had the unlucky two shots against Troyes, hit the post and the crossbar, the competition is only 2 games away, can PSG defend its title next season.

The match Marseille - rennes this week will determine the fate of Marseille, in the last few meetings Marseille are only slightly ahead of rennes. While rennes to maintain a position above strasbourg, they must not lose in this match. The three clubs will issue their best game to maintain their respective positions. It will be hard to predict

Before match against with Marseille on 37 match day, Rennes still have match against with Nantes and become good chance close position with Marseille as 2nd place right now. Between Rennes and Marseille different 5 points but next tomorrow Rennes against with Nantes and if can win will make different 2 points and have chance with Champion League spot next season. Marseille have chance with finish on 2nd position place depending with next match result against with Rennes, if success defeated Rennes will get 2nd position standing and qualify to champion league next season.

Monaco is in the best form from than Marseille. Monaco has won their last 8 matches. They are in very good form. In the last match, they also won against a team like Lille. Marseille, on the other hand, is strong team but their performances are somewhat erratic. So for the second place in the table, I still think the Monaco team is the favorite. Because the opponents of the last two matches in Marseille are strong. Marseille are more likely to lose points in these two matches.

Marseille, Monaco, Rennes, all these guys I honestly can't tell the difference in terms of how likely they are to get results. I've been 50/50 betting on all these guys, when the odds are roughly 2x, and it seems to be just a matter of how many goals either side can score first. I'd love to see Monaco back in UCL spot though, and perhaps they'll be good enough to go thanks to qualification, so 3rd place would be enough (for now).

The four teams for positions 2, 3, 4 and 5 for the euro zone in Ligue 1 are still interesting to watch, because this close points gap makes their position both insecure. If they want to end the season in the best possible place, then surely they cannot underestimate the opponents they face in the remaining matches. But unfortunately, Marseille, Monaco and Rennes if I may conclude, they have quite difficult opponents for the remaining two matches. That way, their position at the end is very uncertain, because their opponents are not easy it is like a big obstacle at the end of the season.

Towards the end of the season Monaco are showing something very good now. they are really focused and indeed the result they continue to gain wins in the few matches they run.
this is good enough for them, currently they are in 3rd position and indeed this is a serious threat for Marseille now considering they are only 3 points away

It is normal, we are at the end of the season and there are way too many people who look like we have no idea how they will do. I am guessing that it will take a while before we could see them play much better than expected, sure it's not going to be like they are going to lose all games all three of them, they will win mostly but at the same time it's not going to be easy for us to decide how they are going to end up winning neither.

I am guessing that the best case for all of us would be to not risk our money and wager on their games, even though they will win most games remaining, it will still not be something simple and would probably lose time to time enough to have is in big loss.
