French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Distraction]

Lyon have started to the match very fast by getting 1-0 ahead in the 2nd minute already. It's like Toulouse haven't been winning against Lyon for so many years. It's since 2014 I mean. Lyon would benefit from this psychological predominance very well also. Maybe their current conditions in the league table aren't too different from each other. But Lyon still have a dominance in this matchup considering the qualities of these teams.

I know that Lyon have been terrible lately as they lost their last 4 league matches. But this can't always go on like this in the end and this seems to be the match they rise again. By the way it was pretty interesting to see Lyon starting to screw things up very quickly after a good start. I wonder if they will be able to maintain a good form after winning this.

There is really no certain way of making sure that you are doing a good job, there are some situations where you may end up with a good result by these Lyon type of teams, but they are not entirely sure if they are playing their best or not each week, and that causes a little trouble.

Sometimes they play very well and beat their opponents, and sometimes they play so bad that even the last team in the league could beat them. This is why it's so hard to wager on their games as well, doesn't really make that much sense. I try to avoid bundesliga and ligue 1 because there is domination and all the other teams are looking a little weird and inconsistent.

Barcelona have huge financial problems (if I'm not mistaken they still have a debt to Messi even now) so there is no chance that Messi will return to Barcelona. In my opinion, Messi can go to MLS and earn a lot of money there in a season or two, and in his position it will be the best solution, as it was already written above, age makes itself felt and it will soon become more and more obvious that he does not correspond to the level of a top club.

They are not "that" much in financial trouble anymore, plus what people are talking about is Messi getting a huge pay cut just to retire there, all of which could result with something much bigger. I am not saying that will happen, but if he comes in next year taking like 10-20 million euros instead of what he usually does, then I am sure that they could find that money somewhere.

Look at what they have done this year, they have spend a ton of money, more than almost any team in the world, and they could just replicate a small version of that to get Messi, which would make sense since they would financially recoup that back with just jersey sales alone.

How do you determine that they are "not so much" in financial trouble? If Barcelona don't have big financial problems then why do they owe just three players (Messi, Piqué and Busquets) more than 100 million? And these are only the largest debts to the players; there are even smaller ones.
And as you rightly say, they have spent a ton of money this season, but at the same time they risk leaving the Champions League after the group stage. If this happens, their financial situation will be greatly aggravated. In this position, signing Messi would be pure madness.

Barcelona's financial condition is not good, and until now they still have debts for the salaries of their players I think. But about Messi, why do you think it's a crazy maneuver from Barcelona if Messi can come back on a free transfer?

But Messi doesn't want to talk about and decide on his future now, he will talk about it at the end of the season about his future. But he has stated that this year's world cup will be his last as a player. I would definitely be very happy if Messi decided to return to Barcelona, ​​he would be welcomed by the fans.

Lyon  1-0  Toulous

Lyon now leads 1-0 against Toulouse. Looks like Lyon will win the match. Lyon took a 1-0 lead with Tete's goal just 2 minutes into the match. The first half ended 1-0. Toulouse is playing defensively. Their attack is weak. Toulouse players may not want to increase the goal difference in the match. Lyon's players made several good attacks but were unable to break down Toulouse's defense. But they continued to try. Lyon will win today with a margin of 1-0 or 2-0.

[herurist]

IMO, there are a lot of possibilities that will happen. it is possible, Messi will continue his contract with PSG, but until now there is no clarity about the continuation of Messi's contract at PSG. some sports news reported, Messi was reluctant to continue his contract with PSG.

on the other hand, the closeness of Messi and Xavi is very closely intertwined. there are many possibilities that Messi will end his career at Camp Nou, but what is certain is that currently Messi still has a contract with PSG, and he and the team will try to realize the Club's dream of becoming champions league champions.

Regardless of how Messi's relationship with Barcelona's players, especially Xavi at this time, actually I would not see this as an opportunity for him to return to Barcelona. Actually, in this case I didn't even think so far because I believe Messi will stay at Barcelona for at least 1 more season because it can be said that he is also one of PSG's valuable assets because apart from this performance it is also profitable in terms of sponsors and other fans.

The age is a factor to him moving to another club, especially Barcelona, I never think it would happen again in the next 1 or 2 year because his physique it's look different from Ronaldo where have perfect fitness. but I thing if he move again to spain, most likely will be coach or assistant not as player as we hope. PSG is still need him at least 1 or 2 more years later because his name still have selling value even his skill has reduced due to age factor

Regarding age, I don't think it's too decisive for Barcelona because they also brought back some of their older players like Alves to help the club but talking about Messi would obviously be very different, because he is one of the players who can be said to have a big period. and of course even if his performances drop a bit he will definitely be profitable to take home. But we also have to look at the amount of expenses that must be incurred such as in salaries and transfer fees. With the current condition of Barcelona, it is clear that this is very difficult to do.

Lyon has once again proven to be in poor form for failing to get a home win against Toulouse in the game, Tete's goal could not get them the win even after pressuring Toulouse so hard but Rafael Ratao brought the away team back to the game with his goal in the 67th minute. It's a draw for the match in the Ligue1 and the two teams still remain in their position in the league after sharing the points but the fans of Lyon will be disappointed with their team's performance because they could not make proper utilization of the chances they created to score more goals. The final score is 1:1 so your prediction was cut short.

Lyon continues its bad results with only 1 point after a 1-1 draw vs Toulouse.
Whenever a team opens the score early, the final result will be generally the opposite..
Fortunately for them, Lille and Montpellier will have hard games so apart from Clermont, Lyon might lose only 1 place this round.

[execijutiere]

Lyon drew at home to Toulouse and are slowly losing hope for this season. Despite playing a dominant game, he couldn't find a goal. As a result he conceded a goal and had to settle for 1 point. Things are not going well for Lyon. They have a good squad but their potential has always been low. I wonder if it's because of the manager but I don't know. I'm waiting for them to find the problem and get back to their old form as soon as possible.

Some people do look optimistic by saying Lyon will win the game. But the final result was even after Toulouse's players (Ratao) managed to score in the second half through a good pass from Aboukhlal so Toulouse managed to equalize until the match ended. I think you only watched this match halfway so you don't know what happens in the next round.

Lyon had to make do with a draw even though they were in control most of the time. They increased their attacks much more in the second half but still couldn't score the relieving goal for themselves. After that they conceded the equalizer due to a very simple defensive mistake. Lacazette was pretty ineffective in this match as well. He couldn't make use of any chances he found. Lyon were so close to scoring the winning goal in the last moments but failed in this task.

Lyon are still having the nightmare as they can't win for five weeks in the league (4 of them are losses). I don't know what's going on with this team now. They scored only 3 goals in their last 5 matches.

The match ended in a draw and they had to settle for sharing the points.
This is definitely another disappointment for Lyon as they should have taken full points in this match. But Lyon still can't do their best even though this draw is clearly better than the previous 4 matches.

Lyon felt a little disappointed that Lyon were not able to win the match at home, even though it was a very good opportunity for Lyon to get the full points. But they can only accept the fact that Lyon opponents also tried to get points in that match so the result was a draw which was not the result that Lyon wanted.
Today Marseille will play AC Ajaccio at the Stade Orange Velodrome, will Marseille be able to get full points in that match? because the last time the two of them met was in the 2013 - 2014 season and now they meet again to compete and try to be the best in this season.

[hahay]

The results of the concerns that I said yesterday were proven true that Lyon still cannot guarantee a victory, the final result of the match between Lyon v Toulouse is 1-1. Not only that, even Lyon's stats are leading and even when Toulouse scored in the second half Lyon were still putting pressure on Toulouse but Lyon still conceded even though they controlled the game. Well, with results like this, it is clear that the results on paper will not always guarantee a definite win.

it's a shame with Lyon's draw, they are very seeded in this match and they started the game quite convincingly because Tete managed to score in the 2nd minute using a sweet pass from Lacazette, but unfortunately they were not able to take advantage of the early minute advantage to snatch victory after Rafael Ratao equalized in the second half.
it's really a bad result for Lyon, playing at home, able to control the game but failed to score many goals and take the win.

for the Marseille match against Ajaccio of course Marseille is very favored, in terms of the quality of the players the two teams are not balanced especially now that Marseille is in its best form, I think if there are no surprises it is very possible for Marseille to win this match easily.

Lyon has lost focus to their defense on the second half so that's why Toulouse players can utilized this and equalized the score and indeed after score draw Lyon has attempts to get more goals but unfortunately until final whistle the score hasn't change and they were failed to win and for another match today Ajaccio position currently at the bottom of standings league and they get 6 losses with only once time win so compared to Marseille obviously Marseille is far to better than them because i think Ajaccio is one of team who possibly to relegated so this is good chances for Marseille to get full points from this match and continue their unbeatable records

There is only one way they can deal with Messi, and that is if Messi wants it and wants an economic contract.  Messi left because he did not agree to this while playing in Barcelona.  I don't think he will return to Barcelona with an economic contract again.  Paris Saint-Germain fully meets all his needs.  So I think he will retire there.

for the Marseille match against Ajaccio of course Marseille is very favored, in terms of the quality of the players the two teams are not balanced especially now that Marseille is in its best form, I think if there are no surprises it is very possible for Marseille to win this match easily.

I also think that Marseille will get full points in that match because of the nine matches played by Marseille this season, Marseille have not once lost.
So it is clear that it is very possible for Marseille to win another match against Ajaccio who are currently still at the bottom of the temporary standings. And that indicates that Ajaccio is a team that is still very weak this season

The match against Toulouse, should have been the turning point for Lyon to build confidence and claim victory after a lucky defeat in four games.
and in that match, actually Lyon deserved to win the match, they controlled the game unfortunately they wasted a lot of chances, Lyon had 19 total shots, 8 shots on target. but in the end Peter Bosz, inevitably had to accept to share a point with Taulouse.
as a result with this result, did not change the position of Lyon on the standings board. This is a bad record for Peter Bosz, after playing five matches in Ligue 1.

Indeed, superiority on paper cannot be a guarantee that the team will win. What guarantees they will win is how they play on the field. And one more thing when their game is good but not effective then it will also not give them victory. One thing to remember, sometimes luck is also a factor in their victory.

it's really a bad result for Lyon, playing at home, able to control the game but failed to score many goals and take the win.

Lyon loss opportunity get close position on top standing after drawing with Toulouse, have faster scoring goals on 2rd minutes can't make Lyon success lead goal scoring until end games after Toulouse scored on 66th minutes. Lyon still on 7th position standing with 14 points and still away from Champion League zone. Unfortunately draw is bad result for Lyon because loss 2 points playing as home and can't take advantage how show impressive performance.

for the Marseille match against Ajaccio of course Marseille is very favored, in terms of the quality of the players the two teams are not balanced especially now that Marseille is in its best form, I think if there are no surprises it is very possible for Marseille to win this match easily.

Seems easy for Marseille to win from Ajaccio as top bottom position standing and have been in relegation zone, actually 3 points most motivate for Marseille player because have chance lead awhile position standing and keep make position near close with PSG until 9 games in Ligue 1 left 2 points.
