French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Two incredible teams recently will collide today lens will face at home troyes they both had great results recently but lens team is on another level this season they are on the third place and still unbeatable, they will play at home which will give them a huge advantage i think they will win easily.

Indeed Lens should not find it difficult to beat a team like Troyes in the form they are currently in. The lens is now third in the points table. They are yet to lose any match this season. However, despite Troyes losing points in the first few matches, their performance in the last 3 matches has been quite consistent. This is why the match is likely to be competitive. Lens will get the full 3 points from this match if competitive.

Currently, Lens is only in three teams which are undefeated in this season which is good for them but on other side we have Troyes which is also having promising time with three early defeats now they have two wins and one draw in last three matches specially last game against Monaco is having good for them as they beat them on road with the score of 2 - 4 which is impressive.
 
But, here Lens are amazing at home with three wins and having done 10 goals which are not bad at all for them with this win they can keep pressure on other which are also fighting hard for top three spots Lyon and Lorient both are staying behind them with 13 points each and long season ahead waiting for many changes hopefully we will have quality game from these teams for higher rank in league table.

I believe that the hosts are the clear favorites of today's match Lens vs Troyes. Lens started the season great, they are in the top of the table, have not lost the game yet and are playing really attractive football. Another advantage of Lens is its own stadium, where they have won all the matches so far. I bet on the victory of the hosts.

Yes, that's right. Head to head, Lens looks more dominant in the match later. In previous matches, Lens won 3 matches (Monaco, Rennes, Lorient) and lost 0 while 2 matches ended in a draw against Ajaccio, Reims . Lens managed to score 8 goals and conceded 9 goals ( 8-9 ). on the other hand Lens appears to be good at keeping the ball, having an average possession of 58.83% this season.

Lens keep their perfect home record with this win now they are at top of league table for one day as tomorrow PSG is going to host relegation zone team Brest and after this Marseille is going to host Lille which is going to be good entertaining match between these two teams which have potential for staying into top half of this season's league table with their performance and quality.

At the end, a good match for Lens as they were completely dominating in this and now allowing their opponents for playing freely with this defeat now Troyes good run is also ended as they were doing good in last three matches.

This round we have another exciting match as Lyon is going to host Monaco after losing their match against Lorient and end of perfect result of this season.

Lens is a huge surprise this season in the ligue 1 and hopefully they continue with the good results,too bad for those two draws that they had against weaker opponents they could have been perfect,hopefully they have a season like lille had a couple of years ago

So, manager has a big work where he needs to act according to each person, act as if Mbappe is the leader, act as if Neymar is loved, act as if Messi..well you do not really have to do anything with messi, he is just naturally amazing . So it is man management, not tactics that will make this team better.

All the talk of ego and quarrel in the team was laid to rest some weeks ago, they now seem a bit fine with each other and they are trying to work together for the good of the team, come to think of it, are we even supposed to put it on the manager to tell the players how to act and behave, they are professionals being paid a lot of money, they have to act like that when they are playing on the field, after the game they can continue their rift, that is if they have any. They were booed repeatedly after they were eliminated from the champions league last season, they should know better and not allow any rift stop them from going to the final this season, and even in the league, Lens, Lyon and Marseille are looking very strong, so they must get together and watch out.

The first leg defeat was by a single goal difference and in the second half PSG managed to escape a draw. If the can't maintain a clean sheet then eyeing the champions league will be like a lifetime dream. The three forward always wants to outshine themselves. The only way to force them to co-operate as a team is to slash their wages when ever the play selfishly else they might never win the champions league

With the current squad in PSG this season they can beat any team to win the champions league they are looking for but first of all I think it's too early to discuss about their performance considering the fact that they are still playing first leg of the group stage. PSG played better than Juventus in the game but looking at their performance I think they need more of teamwork and cooperation so that their ball communication in the pitch can be balanced. The issue of slashing their wages can not be possible unless their contracts will be terminated by the club then renewed again.

it all started before the end of last season, now they are in an unbeaten streak more than 18 matches, they don't really have a team with some stars, I think they play really well as a team, we can't really know if they will keep, they will lose in a match though, it happens to the biggest teams, so I'll keep an eye on them in future matches.

Didn't hear anything about Messi's speed even in his golden years  Unfortunately, we will never see Messi in the Premier League, and now it would be very epic:

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Casemiro when he sees Messi:

As for Mbappe, he has every chance of finishing as Neymar, maybe even better due to his achievements with the national team, but he will never come close to the greatest players. Haaland is now on the right track, Mbappe is not.

I agree regarding Haaland being on the right track vs. Mbappe making questionable choices. Would be nice to see Haaland play some international tournaments with Norway as well.

You didn't hear anything about Messi's speed even in his golden years? I am not sure we are talking about the same players, but his speed when it came to acceleration with the ball on his feet was one of a kind. Just watch his best goals. One of them being against Bilbao in Copa del rey, I think there is also a speed analysis somewhere on YouTube. Or the one against Real Madrid when he started at the midfield line. I am not talking about these goals when a player just kicks it forward 30 meters and then runs after it in Usain Bolt style. Speed with the ball on rather short distances. I'd say he was the fastest ever when you put together acceleration, ball control and stopping from full speed to zero, then accelerate again. Let me know if you know a player who has done that better and maybe even more often than Messi.

You are confusing dribbling and Barcelona's game model in general. Messi was part of it, and the part that was replaceable - the Spanish team without Messi won two European Championships and the World Cup in a row, and Villa perfectly replaced Messi (do you even remember who he is?). Outside of Barcelona's scheme of play, Messi has turned into an average player.
Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Mbappe etc. shone at PSG, but can you say the same about Messi? 
PSG dominate France and it's easier for any player to shine here than in Lyon or Monaco, but so far only the ones I've listed (and a few others) have really done it.

Messi's style of play this season reminds me a bit of his early career style. Messi was a playmaker rather than a striker in his first three seasons with the Barcelona ace team. He was constantly feeding Eto'o and Ronaldinho, even if he had a chance, he was scoring goals, but there was no such effort to score an extra goal. During the Guardialo era, the scorer feature was prominent, and this situation continued a little out of necessity, especially after MSN disbanded in the following periods. At psg he returned to that first playmaker Messi again. But I think he's more comfortable in this role as well. He always expressed that he liked the role of playmaker more than the striker.

This is an analysis I share! Messi was and is a playmaker again. The way he does it is unbelievable. Many people watching him can't even understand how he understands the game. This is not to insult anyone, but it is the same when we speak about chess grand masters. They are just better than anyone else at what they are doing. Messi is brilliant in soccer.

It must be admitted because in reality it has been seen, although there are other players who are also almost as great as a Messi. But in any case it is clear that Messi once shone and became a football star with a myriad of achievements that he has achieved in the past and that must still be recognized at this time.
And it's true that there is no need to insult anyone because all football players always try to perform better and also strive to get a better career than others.

It is true that most people love Messi because of the way he plays his game,operating from midfield and also pushing front to score goals.If you look at what is happening in PSG now,you will love it,goals are coming in because of Messi,he is not selfish to score alone,he gives assist to Mbape and Neymar,he also create several chances for them to see goals,all those characteristics makes him outstanding,and makes him so special.And if we must say the truth,PSG will get to the champions league final this year from the look of things.

Lens continue their historical run with 16 match without lose in league 1 and 22 match counting friendlies, this is really a good thing to see a small team doing such thing and im looking forward to see what this club could achieve this year

[bering]

Marseille vs Lille that last season Lille can beat Marseille twice on France league but i think currently will be different because Marseille had successfully improved their performance under Igor Tudor but Lille have to struggle to adapt with new manager so between both of teams i think Marseille had good chances to win the match and improved their record from Lille although on champion league they were lose from Tottenham but i don't think it will have an effect to their upcoming performance and the odds for Marseille is @2.0

As predicted, that Lens will win this match. Even with a single goal, but it was enough for them to beat Troyes and get 3 points.
Actually Troyes can serve the game from Lens, but they can't develop the game to create chances that lead to goals.
An additional 3 points brought Lens to shift PSG who were at the top of the standings for a while.

There is no reason to make Troyes win against Lens, because it has been seen that Lens have pretty good players and it was evident from the game against Troyes they dominated the ball and often shot at Troyes' goal and ended up getting one goal, Lens should have got two goals but was stuck off side.

RC Lens development is quite significant, they play effective football, they don't create many chances but their game is quite disciplined and in all lines works well and almost doesn't make big mistakes.
this is a progress for Lens and now they are in the top flight, Ligue 1 this season continues to improve with several teams ready to rival PSG even though in terms of team quality these teams all lost to PSG but if there is a team that is able to be consistent it is not impossible for them would be able to leave PSG in the standings.

If we consider more deeply or head to head results overall then I can conclude that Marseille still has a good dominance, but if only considering their last 5 matches Lille looks fine. In fact, at this moment Lille is still relatively good, which means that their performance has not decreased so sharply and therefore, the odds are not lower for them, such as below 2. This shows that a draw can still occur in this match, due to factors The fatigue experienced by the Marseille players can make their performance not optimal in this match.

But will they be able to maintain this and play consistently until the end of the season? I'm a little doubtful. But even so I still hope that they will be in good form in every game they play. Because I want to see Paris Saint Germain have competitors who can press and make them uncomfortable in the table.

In my analysis of their six matches, messi has always contributed to every match that PSG won even though he himself could not maximize his chances of being a goal in several matches. but his contribution while providing assists to mbappe and neymar was brilliant and hard for us to believe, messi's performance was the most stable of any of his two team-mates. as you said, he is not selfish to score goals alone that's why messi is loved by many people especially the team-mates who have played with him.

By the way, in a few hours PSG will host against Brest, statistically Brest has never beaten PSG, in this match also Brest will not be able to break PSG's dominance, I will bet on this match.

[Distraction]

PSG have a really strong squad but they have a problem that is not cared about much for now at the same time.

I mean that they don't have very impressive players in the subs especially for the attacking line. For example Neymar doesn't even have any replacement who plays as a left-winger naturally. Sarabia can play on both wings of course but he isn't a very good backup player for a huge team like PSG. The situation is the same for Mbappe also. They have sent Icardi to Galatasaray on loan and now there is only a youngster named Hugo Ekitike as Mbappe's replacement. If even one of the Messi-Mbappe-Neymar trio gets injured then they are in big trouble in especially the Champions League. I really don't know how PSG can't think of every scenario while they are fighting for the Champions League title.

Since PSG changed their Sporting Director and coach, it seems PSG's transfer policy is a little different, now PSG do not spend too much transfer fees
to bring in new players. What makes me confused is why Luis Campos as Director of Sport, and also Galtier as a coach buys too many midfielders.
There are at least 4 midfielders who have been brought in by PSG, including Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Renato Sanches and Carlos Soler.

Whereas as you said the PSG forward does not have a substitute who has good quality, maybe because the PSG forward is a big star player,
who wants to play every game. Therefore PSG did not bring in new forwards, even players like Icardi had difficulty getting playing time at PSG.
Maybe Galtier will change his strategy with a two forwards formation if one of PSG's three forwards is injured, if there are two injured, it is possible
that Galtier will change PSG's strategy by playing one striker. Therefore, this season, PSG only brought in Hugo Ekitike who was still young
for the position of forward. Because the three PSG front players always want to always play as a starter. So a young player like Ekitite won't mind
if he spends more time on the bench.

When a lot of my friends were complaining about his performance last season, I told them that Covid was the reason behind it and that they should look forward to this season and whatever judgement they passed on him during our banter that I would gladly accept it. Well, they have all lost their voice. Messi has recovered, he is fit and I must confess that I am very satisfied with his performance so far in their games this season despite the childishness if Mbape.
