French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[snipie]

Lyon had to suffer two straight defeats before this week they host Paris Saint Germain at Parc OL. Yes, it is not easy for them in this match even though they act as hosts. Moreover, Paris Saint Germain are in good form with their winning streak. In the last match, Paris Saint Germain had to struggle to win the match when they hosted Brest who were at the bottom of the standings. But their difficulties in that match do not guarantee the same thing will happen again in this match.

Lyon is very unstable team, even in the previous season that was an obvious thing.
Lorient shouldn't be better than them, yet they lost vs them. Monaco was struggling and Lyon saved them to get closer from the other teams..
Now they have to face PSG this Sunday with an odds of +4.5 vs 1.6 for PSG. Good luck.. Getting a draw would be an achievement imo

[Jody.Drummer]

Not only Lionel Messi, but Neymar also looks to get his game back. I see the Paris Saint Germain players are in a rising form. This is of course advantageous for Paris Saint Germain itself. When their performance is below their best, they can still get point by point, especially at times like this (their performance is getting better).

PSG's gameplay is getting better day by day. With Galtier's help, they are able to stabilize themselves in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. PSG's performances are stronger than last season. Neymar and Messi are in form. At the same time, young Mbappe is playing well. Now I would say the only weakness in their team is the poor relationship between Neymar and Mbappe. If only the bonding between Neymar and Mbappe was better. And if Mbappe had not behaved so selfishly, PSG's performance would have been stronger.

But no matter how impressive they are in Ligue 1, it will only be considered a matter of course because with the squad they are now in Ligue 1 it's just for training in my opinion because there really isn't anyone who can really be a competitor there.
As for Mbappe and Neymar, this problem has become a recurring problem from season to season because when we saw last season it was also like that but until the end they still performed well.

In this case even though 4.5 is tempting but 1.6 is something that does look more certain
As you said Lyon are unstable at the moment, the performance is unpredictable because sometimes they play really well but sometimes it's the other way around.
At the moment PSG's front line especially their trio are in very good shape so I think if Lyon try to match PSG in attack then this is bad for them.

[savetheFORUM]

Currently the odds already increased to 1.64, if you choose over 2.5 goals odds are less than 1.37. The first option is better if only PSG win, but maybe I agree with furius7 Lyon have lost last 2 matches it's small possibility that they can win tomorrow, I personally haven't made my bet this time and still thinking harder, but over 2.5 goals are not bad either.

Lyon loses both matches on road and their home record is 100% in their last four games even these all games against low quality teams but still good for them and PSG away record is also 100% with good number of goals, and they have conceded only one goal in their last away four games with this all situation I am feeling if someone wants to bet then just two options are surely good for him and can give good profit first is over 3.5 which is currently at @1.90 and Second is over 2.5 and PSG even this second one is risky for me because I am feeling this match can end in draw as well but still a good for punters to have good profit from this match if they are brave enough to have place bet on these options others like PSG ML and over 2.5 are having not good enough profit for place bets.

Lyon have suffered 2 defeats in the last 2 weeks and will probably be defeated by PSG this week. It will be sad for their fans because they will rank far behind in the league. Even though we don't expect much, I would like them to play like the old Lyon and at least get better results.
Looking at the current team, their roster is not too bad, but losing points for 3 consecutive weeks will be a bad situation for any team

Lyon is a renowned team in Ligue 1. And a strong team. Despite losing the last two matches, Lyon's performance in the previous matches was quite good. Although Lyon is a good team, they don't seem to be able to win against a team as strong as PSG right now. PSG is in great form. The attacking trio of Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe have been consistently playing well. So I think PSG will beat Lyon easily and score more than two goals.

I think for now it's at least a reasonable result but indeed, the hope for Lyon to get a title feat like in the past is there but I'm just looking at the reality for now. Regarding the match against PSG for matchday 8, it is certainly difficult for Lyon to get points, but even if they lose, at least Lyon will still be in the top 10. Even though Lyon this season has only focused on the local league, but they are still difficult to be consistent at least for the top 3 positions. Therefore, I say it is natural for Lyon because at this time they are only a team that is struggling in the middle of the table at least just to get tickets for the Europa League next season.

Lyon have had a bad week after suffering two defeats away from home, defeats to Lorient and Monaco even more difficult for Lyon when they host PSG at Groupama Stadium. PSG who rule the table are yet to suffer a defeat this season, Christophe Galtier's side dropping just two points in their draw against Monaco. The good results that have always been achieved by PSG are very difficult to stop, especially ahead of this match Lyon have not been good in their last two matches. Even though PSG are the visitors this bet on Lagai will put PSG as the winner.

Lyon was defeated in the last two matches. But both were away matches for Lyon. Lyon has been performing well in home matches this season. Lyon has won all three home matches. Lyon managed to score 11 goals in these three matches. Lyon will also play at home against PSG. So it would be foolish to think that Lyon's players can beat PSG easily. The match will be competitive. I would say both teams have equal chances of winning.

Betting on goal over 3.5, isn't it more risky? but considering that both teams often do goal scoring a lot this actions could be a good opportunity, I will think about it thanks.  If this match ends in a draw, I have more doubts because I see the top 3 standings get the same points, so my guess it could be sir Galtier will field their main team to get full points in this match. By the way, Good luck with your bet savetheFORUM.

I see that you prefer to bet on the favorites, but betting on BTTS Yes with odds of 1.45 in the game Lyon - PSG is simply ridiculous. In my opinion, it is much more profitable to bet on BTTS No with odds of 2.64 in the same game. I made such a bet in the game Bayern - Barcelona (the chances were more than 3 lol) and won.

Yeah I tried to have safer picks. I thought of betting on both teams to score at a low odd like this twice actually. But it feels like picking both teams to score - no is very risky for a match like this. I don't doubt PSG to score even a bit. Lyon are also not having any difficulty in scoring these days. Maybe there is still no guarantee but I won't change my first picks as a principle. 

By the way your tactic is nice of course. Almost everyone was expecting both teams to score in the Bayern Munich - Barcelona match. But Barcelona couldn't score despite having many important goal chances. It is really all about luck sometimes. I just hope not to come across these times. It would be really disappointing if my bet for the Marseille match wins but the one for the PSG match loses.

I would say both teams have equal chances of winning.

Both Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyon both need a win, but Lyon's chances of winning in this match are very unlikely even though they are playing at home. the performance of the lyon defense did not play optimally, in the last two matches they played poorly so they had to admit defeat against lorient and monaco.

As for PSG, PSG is in a positive trend both in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League. Of course, PSG's chance to win this match is very large, which in fact Galtier will continue to use the formation with the main starting line-up with a 3-4-2-1 pattern.
in my estimation, psg will score two goals or more.

[Ratash]

Lille will face Toulouse team in a home game both teams results are unstable and they are now in the middle of the table only two points separate the lille team will have the home advantage nd the quality players compared to their opponent but it will not be a walk in the park but the odds for their win is quite good so its worth it.

[bering]

Montpellier will fight against Strasbourg today that during this season Strasbourg has a habit of always playing defensively and it proven to their statistics that they never dominate the matches and playing with counter attack style so i assume for today match too their strategy will not so different but regarding match result i am thinking this match will ended to draw because their head to head statistics showed they were can able to playing draw several times but for bets i have two options both teams to score or draw

In general, I rarely bet on BTTS, as you rightly noted, a lot here depends on luck/unluck - roughly speaking, the result is random, but in this case (Bayern - Barcelona), the skew in the odds was too big. Even if Barcelona scored a goal (objectively they were close to this) I would consider a BTTS No bet with odds of 3 correct. At a distance, such bets must pay off. Now I'm excited about the idea of keeping track of these odds and betting no matter who is playing where. But as far as I remember, coefficients greater than 3 are a very rare case.

The head to head duel Montpellier Vs Strasbourg is indeed a pretty exciting duel. because both teams have good defensive power. These two teams have met on 40 occasions and from those 40 matches 15 wins for Strasbourg and 11 wins for Montpellier, then the other 14 matches ended in draws. and this match is the 41st meeting and a draw is certainly a prediction for now. but let's see how well these two teams play.

Montpellier will host and play at the Stade de la mosson stadium.

Prediction for Montpellier vs Strasbourg Line Up:

Montpellier : Omlin; Sacko, Jullien, Cozza, Sakho; Chotard, Ferri; Khazri, Savanier, Nordin; Wow.

Strasbourg : Sels; Doukoure, Djiku, Perrin; Pierre-Gabriel, Aholou, Thomasson, Bellegarde, Dagba; Diallo, Ajorque

Rennes is not an opponent that is easily defeated by Marseille. In their last 5 meetings, Marseille and Rennes can beat each other, even in the last match Marseille had to admit the advantage of Rennes with a score of 2-0. Now Marseille need 3 points to keep overshadowing Paris Saint Germain in the table, but the opponent they face now is a club that can beat them. They have to work hard to win this game.

Messi has completely changed his style of play. Looking at his gameplay now, he seems to be primarily a midfielder. And he is more comfortable assisting than scoring. He may not be able to score too many goals playing in such a style, but PSG will benefit greatly from it. And PSG's overall gameplay will improve further. Mbappe and Neymar will have more chances to score. However, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are world-class players in all three. If the bonding between them is good and their relationship is friendly, then they will be able to perform better together.

Now messi is starting to get a different role at PSG, when previously at Barcelona he was a target man on the front lines but now he is starting to adjust his style of play as expected by his coach for helping attack, the decision to change the style of play I don't think is an absolute decision from messi because after all the main striker position has been owned by mbappe and of course the coach might want messi to play a little backwards, even so messi is still messi, in whatever position he plays will certainly create a lot of threats to the opponent's defense in a match.

Messi is a player who can adapt to any position. At Barcelona, Messi has done well as the main striker. And scored a lot of goals. He was a regular scorer at Barcelona. But looking at Messi's performance at PSG now, he seems to be a midfielder. And assisting is his main responsibility. He is able to fulfill this responsibility very well. PSG will be stronger if Mbappe's performance improves.

Messi has a different role in PSG plus now he isnt the main superstar in the team. There are two more superstars Neymar and Mbappe so its hard to put them all togheter no matter how easy it looks. Messi also needed a year to adopt to PSG gamestyle and finally we have the old Messi

there is one thing different about Messi with PSG now, he is not playing as the only star of the team and he's not scoring a lot of goals, only three, but he has 6 assists so far, it shows how he's more focused about the team scoring goals and just him, I already said that he doesn't care a lot anymore about being the goalscorer of the team, he wants more trophies, The league seems easy, Champions League is the true goal.

UCL is of course the main target for Paris SG. Their squad is strong enough to win UCL. Together with Messi, they made a great team.  I wish we could see Cristiano Ronaldo in the same team as Messi. It's like a miracle that this happens. If Ronaldo were to leave Manchester United, Paris SG could be a successful team for him. It will easily win the French league. The important area is to focus on the main goal and win the UCL.

Wow, without a doubt, this is what many fans of both CR7 and Messi expect, I think that it is possible, but if PSG continues betting on Mbappé it will not go very well, Mbappé needs to mature a lot, he cannot direct a team or do the work of managers or a technical director, besides, it seems very unprofessional to me that he has drawn up that list to remove those players from the team, honestly a player cannot be bigger than a team , and it seems that PSG have lost their compass in that sense, they are not doing things very well and are giving maximum importance to him, instead of taking advantage of the last cartridges that Messi and Ney are burning.

The truth is I have a lot of faith in Montpellier, it is a team that I have been liking the way they play, I also had my eye on Lille and Marseille, I think these teams are quite good, but I really wish that one of these teams had strong enough to give PSG good competition, it's not that I want PSG to be angry at him or something, but this time I want to see a much more powerful French league, which not only has representation with PSG against the UCL and be protagonists, Marseille promises because they have good players, I also think that this league is raising its level, I don't know, but I saw that they were not going to take Benzema to play for the French team, and that is something that tells me that are there better players than him? then let them be known at once.

Rennes is not an opponent that is easily defeated by Marseille. In their last 5 meetings, Marseille and Rennes can beat each other, even in the last match Marseille had to admit the advantage of Rennes with a score of 2-0. Now Marseille need 3 points to keep overshadowing Paris Saint Germain in the table, but the opponent they face now is a club that can beat them. They have to work hard to win this game.

You're right, Rennes has made a lot of noise for some time, but they need to consolidate, I really see it as very difficult for them to defeat Marseille, these players are very well focused and have many good things to offer, I've seen how some players are doing everything possible to be among the best, Deschamps already has his training for the World Cup in Qatar and it is very surprising that he does not bring one of his main stars, this means that the French league has such good players that they are betting a lot for the youngsters and for those who are beginning to tour a fairly strong French league.

Looking at the table, it is very possible that Marseille could go up, so my bet that a team other than PSG shines gets more and more alive

You're right, Rennes is not a club that Marseille can take lightly. They have had a pretty good performance the last few seasons in Ligue 1, even in the last season, they managed to finish in fourth place. Some time ago also discussed about this match with some forum members, and it seems they also have the same thoughts as us. How about your own bet? did you bet on this match?

When will Jonathan David transfer to the Premier League? He scored a great goal with his individual skills tonight. Lille took a 1-0 lead in the match with his great goal and the first half was completed with this score. The match between Lille and Toulouse is the scene of a fierce battle.

Returning to the French League 1, Toulouse formed a good team to achieve an assertive position in the league. Left-back Sylla is making effective attacks. Dallinga can contribute to the score at any time. But in this match, their opponents are not an easy target. Lille have a performance far from the year they were champions. But there are traces of the team's champion squad. I think they are the side that is close to winning in this match.
