French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[kro55]

I'm sure Messi will stay at PSG until his contract expires. and most likely he will return to barcelona after his contract expires with psg. Even then, if Xavi wants Messi to return to Camp Nou and end his retirement as a Barcelona legend.

As far as I know Messi's contract with PSG was for two years. And the contract with PSG expires in the summer of next year. Now we have not seen any news regarding whether Messi will extend his contract with PSG. No wonder Messi extends their contract with PSG. The PSG club is paying Messi high wages, as well as a lot of perks.
Even if Messi wants to move to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona is not in a position to afford Messi's high wages at the moment. He spends a lot of money buying players with loans and reducing player wages

Right now messi is starting to be well received by PSG so that even if PSG offer him a new contract maybe Messi will not think twice about accepting it immediately, Xavi has indeed conveyed his intention to bring Messi back to Barcelona when his contract expires, but I think in a condition like now maybe messi will prefer to stay in paris, messi has spent all his life with barcelona and I think that's enough for messi return the favor to barcelona all this time, I think messi will prefer to stay in paris later and continue career and he journey until retirement.

It is difficult to restore Barcelona's financial condition because they continue to insist on making large expenditures but not in balance with the income obtained, it will certainly be difficult for Barcelona to take Messi back from PSG. But if later, for example, Messi is a free agent, then maybe Messi returns to Barcelona, but with a salary that may be very low as a legendary player. For this reason, I don't think Messi should choose Barcelona as his retirement club, because there are still many other clubs who still have an interest if Messi does have to leave PSG. But if Messi's performance can be maintained properly, then PSG will easily extend Messi's contract.

I doubt whether Barcelona will be financially stable in the next 10 years. Because Barcelona's expenses are still higher than their income. And this season they have spent a lot of money and bought players. Even though Messi is a free agent, Messi's wages are very high. If Messi decides to reduce his wages then maybe we will see Messi in Barcelona. Or Barcelona does not have the financial condition to bear the cost of Messi. But Messi fans might be happy if Messi retires from Barcelona.

Unfortunately something like this is something that is difficult to happen in Ligue 1.
PSG really excel in every way and indeed it will be difficult to make a new breakthrough even as Lille did in the 2020/2021 season.
Even though there are still some opportunities, if you look at the readiness and the pattern of the game being carried out, it is clear that this is something that tends to be impossible to do.

It seems what happened in the 2020/2021 season when Lille won the Ligue 1 trophy is very difficult to repeat. Moreover, PSG have prepared well,
which PSG is unbeaten while playing in friendly matches. This means that PSG players have very high confidence, and also the PSG squad is still
the best compared to other Ligue 1 teams. So it's very likely that PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy in the 2022/2023 season, I don't see any other
team in Ligue 1 being able to stop PSG. I'm sure PSG will beat Clermont in the first game of the new season.

Even though the pre-season tour is not a reference because it doesn't mean anything but when you see they are really good in attack and strong enough in defense this becomes a very good capital for PSG.
Clermont is not a formidable opponent for PSG if you look at last season's comparison, their comparison is quite far, then indeed this will only smooth out PSG's start to wade through Ligue 1 this season.

I agree that the pre-season tour where PSG face several clubs from the Japanese league cannot be used as a reference. Moreover,
the opponents they face are also far below PSG. The pre-season tour is only a warm-up match and also to practice teamwork to be more solid.
The actual match will be when PSG face Clermont, unfortunately Clermont had a bad performance the previous season and almost got relegated.
Even the previous meeting Clermont was defeated by PSG with a score of 4-0, so it is likely that PSG will beat Clermont easily. But in football
there are often surprises, therefore I hope PSG play carefully and don't underestimate Clermont even though his opponent is weaker.

The hosts are the clear favorite of the first Ligue 1 match, Olympique Lyonnais - AC Ajaccio. In fact, I see the visitors' only chance in the fact that Olympique Lyonnais may not be in optimal shape from the very first match. However, I believe that the advantage in football skills and the advantage of home field will help the hosts secure 3 points.

[Velvet78]

Strasbourg - Monaco is a little interesting game for me. I'm saying this considering that both teams had a really decent season the last time. Monaco were even much better than their opponent as well. I'm not having doubts about Monaco but it is the opposite for Strasbourg now honestly. Because they aren't a team that are performing at a high level often in this league. The odds are favouring Strasbourg still but I'm waiting for Monaco not to lose to them here.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

The first match of the season in the French Ligue 1 will be played between Lyon and Ajaccio. It will be an interesting match. Ajaccio was promoted to the French Ligue 1 after 8 years. Lyon had a bad year in the French Ligue 1 last season. This year they signed Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso. I think they had a good transfer season with these transfers. And I predict Lyon will win this match. But I will refrain from betting on this match.

[Z-tight]

I don't expect much surprise for Lyon and PSG although the first rounds are always tricky.

First match of the season can be tricky, but i hope nobody is expecting clermont Foot to beat psg, it is not possible, psg have also looked sharp in the few games they have played before the start of the season, they beat Nantes 4-0 to win the champions trophy some days ago, and they played so well, with messi and neymar both on target and looking really focused on the season. For predictions psg will win this one with nothing less than @3.5 goals scored by them. Lyon will win too, but i don't know if they will score as much as that.

[judas]

Lyon seem to be very highly favoured by bookmakers against Ajaccio. I'm also positive about their capability to defeat their opponent but I don't want to be too confident as well. Because Ajaccio came to the Ligue 1 by having a really successful season. If they manage to maintain this momentum here also then they might be capable of surprising Lyon. But this is a slight possibility to me. Lyon have their great striker Lacazette back also now but I wonder if he will be able to perform close to his old times.

[hahay]

The Ligue 1 opening match will take place in a few hours between Lyon v AC Ajaccio, maybe it will be an easy win for Lyon I personally will not doubt it. AC Ajaccio itself is a promoted team and I believe its performance is still not quite ready to play in Ligue 1, moreover this first match will play away against Lyon which is basically not a weak team. Therefore, I would not doubt Lyon at this moment because after all, it was the perfect opportunity to get the full points at the start of the season.

Comparisons like this are clearly favorable for PSG considering that although it is very difficult to see a club other than theirs to compete but they need to improve at least to break the record for themselves.
This season there are several people I really want to highlight like Mbappe, Messi in attack, Sergio and Donaruma in defense.
Is this really going to be good for them especially for Donaruma because last season I saw Navas was much more solid than him.

Lyon will open the season at home against Ajaccio. Ajaccio just promoted from Ligue 2 and this is their first season in Ligue 1 since 2013/14 season. I don't expect much resistance from them in opener, I would get one handicap Lyon win all day. Regular Lyon win odds are at 1.23 in İddaa, one handicap win odds are at 1.80. That's a good one. I might even make a parlay with Arsenal handicap win. These two would fit well.
Some interesting facts about game even though it's history, Lyon never lose against Ajaccio at home in thirteen games and won twelve of them. Ajaccio lost against Lyon most in whole French league history. Lyon never lose a game in season opener in last eighteen matches and won sixteen of them. Crazy stats so reading after these I believe Lyon win more and more.

[3meek]

An interesting match, tonight will be for Ajaccio... First game after promotion to Ligue 1, but I think Lyon will easily take the three points... They have no European games and can focus on the home league, especially against an outsider... But I think Ajaccio can score...

[snipie]

Lyon vs Ajaccio will be the opening game for this season. It is obvious that the odds are in favour of Lyon @1.36 vs @8.8 for Ajaccio since they just got promoted from Ligue 2.

The fight between the teams who have different mission that Lyon had ambition want to finish at European zone and Ajaccio want to survive in France league and this is last season for Lyon manager Peter Bosz so he will attempts to bringing Lyon had better position this season however about the odds indeed @1.36 is quite low for Lyon but seems this could be easy money because i think Lyon will win the match especially this is home match for them and Lyon quite strong during playing at their home ground

Yeah quite low odds but it appears that it might be profitable if Lyon continues like that.
In just 23 minutes, Lyon are leading with 2 goals vs 0 for Ajaccio. So far they are controlling the game and chances for Ajaccio to recover are very very low. Almost no attempts to score..

Edit: well Ajaccio scored a penalty. 2-1 after 32 minutes!

Quite an intresting match between these two teams. A lot of things happened in the first half. First Lyon leaded 2-0 then received a red card then Ajaccio scored and by the end of the half they received a red card and the half ended 2-1 and i think we can expect a lot more in second half

This has already been a very eventful match. It’s almost halftime of the match, and I can see, that Lyon has scored 2 goals and conceded 1. They also conceded right after they had a sending-off.

And right now Ajaccio also got a player of them sent off. This has been a really eventful first half. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the second half of this match. I still believe that Lyon should win. Because now it is a 10v10

Lyon is leading Ajaccio at the moment in the Lyon vs Ajaccio match. I don’t think Lyon is going to lose this match. To be honest neither team is in a particularly strong position right now after 45 minutes of this match. Both teams are one player down each. The score is 2-1 in favor of Lyon. Right now it does feel like Lyon is likely to win this match. However, with so much chaos in this match, it's difficult to predict right now. Ajaccio is determined to try really hard to win this match and make a statement.

Lyon had a bad year in the French Ligue 1 last season. This year they signed Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso. I think they had a good transfer season with these transfers. And I predict Lyon will win this match. But I will refrain from betting on this match.

This match was going to be tougher than I imagined.
The referee is currently quite busy in carrying out his duties because it was recorded that during 50 minutes of running time there were at least 18 fouls created by both teams and the referee had to issue 2 red cards from his pocket for the first match in the Ligue 1.
At the moment Lyon are still ahead for a while but there is still a long way to go and I look forward to something more exciting in the remaining time in the second half.

Even after the return goal, the odds of Lyon winning are only 1.13. I hope in the second half Lyon will increase their advantage to make their victory more reliable (I added this outcome to my multibet). I would not want some random goal to turn a victory into a draw. This would be extremely strange, especially given that Lyon are playing at home.

[FanEagle]

Leagues are finally starting and that's a lot of betting chances, we are going to get like 5 leagues to bet on the big ones, if you like other leagues then we can say as high as 10 leagues worthy of betting and that means every week once again it's a lot of studying to see who is doing how. I have missed this, PSG clear winner almost every game, that's given, but I do wonder who would be close to them.

It's never really understood, I mean look at Lille last year, they became champions and get to the league and lost a lot of players and ended up finishing badly. So, it's never really known in Ligue 1 who would be the closest team to PSG this year but at least we know who will be the champions even before the league starts.

[BITCOIN4X]

Lyon won 2-0 over Ajaccio. It was the first match of the season that Lyon did not waste to get the full points. The tension in the match was so tight that the referee had to issue two red cards for two players from both teams. There are no yellow cards, only two direct red cards that can harm their respective teams.

I have missed this, PSG clear winner almost every game, that's given, but I do wonder who would be close to them.

There is no certainty, some teams will definitely be close to PSG for the competition, maybe Lyon or maybe Monaco or Lille. About betting, PSG is worth considering for every match. But I think the odds will be small for a team like them who won't be very profitable.
