French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

PSG still managed to open the gap with Marseille a little more despite losing two points against Reims. Ramos' unnecessary red card made things harder for the team. They still found many goal chances after the incident as well. But it still ended 0-0. Neymar entered the game not much time after the second half started. But this wasn't enough for a win anyway.

Marseille had a big chance to equalize the points but surprisingly they lost to Ajaccio home. It was like their opponent was one of the worst teams in the league. I really don't get how they managed to lose a game like this after a 9-game unbeaten series.

Wayward move from Marseille honestly, I was not happy seeing them loosing that game at home. They did very well during the Champions League at home though, could it be as a result of fatigue ? They should have done better than that.
That was a good chance for them to go top of the standing of they had won the match.

Paris Saint Germans! They have dominated the league for so long time, I knew they was gonna end a draw, with Sergio Ramos adding more red cards to his career profile lol. 28 career red cards they said ? Man's got no chill at all. Lol

[hahay]

Marseille and psg are likely to win their games today marseille team will play at home against the last team on the standings with only one win and one draw so far and the leaders psg against reims a better team than ajaccio but still psg will be much for them to handle i expect both marseille and psg to win easily.

a very bad day for people who bet in favor of Marseille and PSG as both failed to win even though they are the best in ligue 1 so far, Marseille even lost in their home stadium which was more surprising, but it was not enough for the day, PSG also failed to win, the match between Marseillle and PSG will show who's the real leader of ligue 1

Including me who bet on them because indeed, their chances of winning are undoubted so of course betting on them against the lower-ranked team will be confident. But unfortunately, even though they are favorites to win even as reflected in the available odds, they still get disappointing results. Cases like this to ordinary people will look like underestimating the opponent so that they get undue results, although that is a reason that may not be fully accepted but for me it is a quite reasonable reason.

I am beginning to doubt the proficiency of PSG and their ability to be able to win the Champions League. If PSG could draw with Benfica in the midweek and proceeded to draw with Reims this weekend it is showing that PSG is not that superb club we feel they are this season.

I stand to be corrected, but I think the team doesn't have that cohesion needed to be very outstanding and to compete with other top teams like Manchester city of England when the jungle matures in Champions league.

Marseille missed the chance. PSG drew and lost two points. But Mareille lost 3 points against Ajaccio, the weakest team in Ligue 1. A win against Ajaccio would have put them level on the points table with PSG. However, Marseille may be performing well this season. Their performance is truly commendable. But Marseille don't seem to be able to challenge PSG for the title. He will soon be behind further.

[bering]

After PSG draw and Marseille lose i think it's time to Lorient to utilized this situation because if Lorient can get 3 points today then they will be at 2nd position below to PSG and actually Lorient current opponent Brest is weak team because they current position at relegated zone with cannot be wins 5 times in a row so compared to Lorient performance which they can able to gets 7 winning streak on France league clearly Lorient is better and seems this is could be easy match for Lorient and if Lorient can win the match they will have 25 points and only 1 point difference below PSG

[rahmad2nd]

This is an opportunity for Lorient to reduce the difference in points from PSG, today's match Lorient will travel to Stade Francis-Le Ble, home to Brest. as we know, Brest is not a difficult opponent to beat with their very poor performance in the last 9 matches.
if Lorient win, Marseille must accept their rank taken by Lorient. however, maybe in this match Brest can surprise us.

on the other hand, Lille-Lens will also play today's match. Lens also have a chance to replace Marseille's position, if they win over Lille.
These two matches are interesting, because one of them can shift Marseille's ranking and reduce the difference in points with PSG.

[arimamib]

Don't think so easily for PSG to win Ligue 1 tittle in this season after getting draw against Reims tonight without scoring goals, except with PSG have to play with ten player on 41th minutes after Sergio Ramos get red card, I saw PSG doesn't have the same quality between regular and substitutes player. Lionel Messi have absent in this match seems got injury and Neymar have began on the bench, difficult for Mbappe get service assist for scoring goals without helped from Neymar or Lionel Messi.

PSG is under performing lately. They had a drawn result in the UCL against Benfica and now they also had a drawn results versus Reims. Well, it really means that many more superstars of football will not guarantee a club to always great performance.
Fortunately, the point of PSG is still at the top, but this seems like is very close to the runner up. SO, PSG must be more careful in the next matches. This is done to be able to maintain the position until the end of this season to get the title. For, in UCL,the chance of PSG to win is probably small enough because of too many giant clubs there.

Reims who have only won once from nine matches in Ligue 1 managed to hold off a draw with PSG who sit at the top of the standings. I don't know what was in Christoph Galtier mind not to install Neymar as a starter in this match, he entrusted the front line to Kylian Mbappe, Pablo Sarabia and Carlos Soler. PSG who played without the injured Messi and Neymar who was sitting on the bench struggled to break down the Reims defense, even Reims had several times been able to trouble PSG defense on the counter-attack. Even though PSG controlled the match, they had to settle for sharing points with Reims. Despite getting one point in the 10th game, PSG is still firmly at the top of the standings with 26 points, now PSG is only 3 points ahead of Marseille who is in second place.

Honestly, I was surprised by Reims' game in this match, maybe it can't be separated from the red card received by Sergio Ramso in the first half. Yes, playing with 10 people makes Paris Saint Germain difficult in this match. Even though they managed to control the game, the lack of 1 player made it easier for Reims to cover every movement made by Paris Saint Germain players. As a result, they had to be willing to lose 3 points in that match, not only that, in terms of opportunities, Reims could be much better than what Paris Saint Germain got.

in the last 4 PSG games they have not been able to score more than 2 goals and in some games they have even conceded goals, that's why I was not surprised with this result they had in the game against Reims, the problem will be if they don't change and if to become a strong team in attack, people criticized pochentino, but pochentino managed to make PSG score a lot of goals and in Ligue 1 they were strong, but they had a bad defense in the champions league games. with Christophe Galtier they are even managing to score a lot of goals in certain games, but in these last games they are really great in attack, I hope they improve. I preferred not to bet on them

about Marseille, I confess that it was a result that left me very shocked, considering before this game they beat Sporting de Portugal in the Champions League game and scored 4 goals, strangely in this game against Ajaccio which is not a strong team they scored only one goal thanks to a penalty and lost the game. Good thing I didn't bet on them


Montpellier 0 - 2 Monaco

the first game of today monaco won and with this result they are in 5th position, they are doing a good campaign this season

I think Lorient is not at all worried about lagging behind PSG, since everyone understands that in Ligue 1 the competition is for 2-3 places and tickets to the Champions League. Today they have a good chance to take a clear second place as the opponent is very weak and judging by the statistics, Lorient will have no problems scoring a couple of goals.

[ibuddy122505]

At Reims, PSG drew 0-0. There was no goal scored by PSG in their game, which is sad. There are few stars that weren't there and they have messed everything up! Not even able to create chances, helpless. Assists matter and opening the defense matters when it comes to creating chances. There was lot of yellow, red card issue that put the referee in a bad mood. It is just wonderful to see Ramos go for more red cards in such a spirit.

[Distraction]

Marseille should have been able to win this match but even lost it by 2-1.

Balerdi's own goal was really unlucky Marseille found two important goal chances while we were getting close to the end but they wasted them both. Bamba Dieng wasted an unbelievable chance. If he was able to become a little more patient then they could have at least scored the equalizer in the last moments of stoppage time. They should consider themselves lucky because PSG also lost points this week. The red card was effective in that point loss. However Marseille have lost their place to Lorient already. But I don't think only this loss would affect them very badly about their form.

For some reason, I am starting to think that this might be the start of the decline of Marseille. I think we knew that this day was coming. I feel like I am actually overthinking this but Marseille just lost against a team that is at the bottom of the table. Obviously, PSG is at the top of the table. They are going to win the league title as well in my opinion.

The match between Lorient and Brest also ended just now. Right now Lorient is in the second position ahead of Marseille. Lorient is ahead by 2 points, and right now it feels like even though PSG is supposed to be the winner of this League, they are going to have some good competition this season at least. But I believe that PSG is not going to be bothered too much about the competition that are currently chasing them.

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.

After completing the contract at PSG, Messi has a choice: go to MLS and earn there for the season, let's say 100 million (this is a purely hypothetical figure, but I think it is close to the truth) or return to Barcelona and earn less than 20 million there (salary ceiling). Which option do you think he will choose? And in general, which option is more realistic, given that Barcelona still owes him wages?

I am honestly not happy with the performance of Marseille in last night's match. An opportunity like that is not what a club that want to battle PSG will miss. PSG drew their match and it was a clear opportunity for Marseille to overtake PSG but they failed, they didn't even fail for draw but they fail and lost the match totally. If this kind of opportunities cannot be grabbed by these competitive clubs there is no guarantee that they can in any form beat PSG, for them to compete for the title is to be smart when PSG didn't win their match.

Next match opportunity for PSG manage open gap points with Marseille behind have 3 points left until 10 games, but on position standing awhile PSG have another competitor is Lorient with 1 points left and have chance to become top standing at Ligue 1 if PSG failed win from Marseille. Can't predicting with Lorient in this season become competitor for Ligue 1 tittle because great achievement 8 won of 10 games make Lorient lock 2nd position standing and make Marseille have down to 3rd place.

Lorient have schedule match against with PSG on November 6th and seems have chance if win all games in this months keep close position and gap point with PSG.

Marseille and psg are likely to win their games today marseille team will play at home against the last team on the standings with only one win and one draw so far and the leaders psg against reims a better team than ajaccio but still psg will be much for them to handle i expect both marseille and psg to win easily.

a very bad day for people who bet in favor of Marseille and PSG as both failed to win even though they are the best in ligue 1 so far, Marseille even lost in their home stadium which was more surprising, but it was not enough for the day, PSG also failed to win, the match between Marseillle and PSG will show who's the real leader of ligue 1

to be honest, I think in that match it was a big luck for Reims (against PSG) and ajaccio (against Marseille). many predict that this PSG 'draw' happened because they played with 10 players. besides that, in the match, Messi didn't play that's why PSG's attack line was not so sharp even though there were mbappe and neymar there. So far, PSG has drawn 2 and lost 0.

[snipie]

Ramos received his next red card, this time for talking to the referee (apparently he insulted him). What a man!
If I remember correctly, he is the Champions League red card record holder and close to the top in Real Madrid (I'm not sure top-1 because my favorite Pepe played there  ), but the farm league?
I wonder if Reims will be able to win or at least draw when playing in the majority? Still, this is a generally weak team.

Ramos is holding the World? or European? record for the most red carded player or defender! I forgot exactly his record but I remember something close to 27 red card while the nearest one was 21? He will never change apparently
PSG was lucky that Marseille lost so they could stay in the first place. Losing points vs Reims isn't good to secure some distance from the others.
Lens, the remaining team with 0 defeat, is 1 goal behind vs Lille.

[el kaka22]

It was definitely a worrisome game for PSG but I think they deserve to have a few games like this. You can't wait dominance every single game from teams, even City loses at premier league and still considered the best team.

I feel like there are ties here and there that makes players fired up again for a few more weeks and it is a good thing, because there is no possibility of winning all the games, so instead of a loss, it's better to get a tie so that the players would wake up and they would still have some points anyway. They are going to be champions for sure, missed some players during the game, but that's fine, they will recover soon enough.
