French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bekti3]

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.

When looking at his current age I think at first when he was at PSG he would reduce his habit of playing like a fighter but it seems I was wrong and indeed this is like his trademark lol.
But indeed with this result, of course in the second half PSG had a little difficulty even though they still controlled the game but in terms of opportunities they clearly lost to Reims.

Monaco have made a really huge improvement recently. They won all of their last five games and managed to climb to right behind Lens in the standings. Monaco couldn't do it this much early after starting badly in the previous season. But they seem to have learned their lesson from that. They were impressive against Montpellier as well.

It is a really big example of determination comparing them to Marseille now. Not much time ago the point gap between them was very big. But now Monaco have made it only three points. Monaco actually have a decent squad now. The thing they were lacking was consistency and now they have that also.

[execijutiere]

There were goals in all games today. We can say that Monaco has started to recover after a bad first 5 weeks. They've won for 5 weeks. I think they are slowly finding themselves.
Yesterday I mentioned that lens and psg were undefeated. Yesterday psg barely escaped. Today lens lost away to lille. It's really interesting.
This year, like the German league, everyone can beat each other in the French league. I don't think such a performance was expected from either Lens or Lorient. Lorient is doing really well. They are one of the teams that manage to score in every match.

[Ratash]

Lorient is one of the teams that are on fire this season they, they added another win today against brest to make it six in a row, which allowed them to take the second position on the table, they are a team to admire because they managed to do it with little resources and average players and a big part of their success is thanks to their striker moffi who scored almost half of his team goals.

Monaco is obviously playing really well at the moment. It has been five matches since they have lost a match, and they have not lost one in that time period. I think that this is impressive when we consider that they didn't have a very good start to the season in terms of results.

Currently, I think that there is a good chance that they will be able to get to the top three positions within a short period of time. I am sure that after finishing third in the last season, Monaco had to face some problems when they did not start this season well. Additionally, they had to deal with a lot of criticism as well. In spite of that, they are in great shape right now. As a result, it would be really nice to see them continue to do a great job in the future. There is not much of a difference between them and Marseille in terms of points. So, I believe that they have a good chance of getting ahead in the top three very soon.

Safe to say that monaco back on their winning track after a slow start ... monaco successfully collecting 20 points out of 30 points that potentially could have earned. Sitting 5th with 6 points separated from the league leader psg and 3 points behind the third marseille.

The title race there at ligue 1 never be this close.

[Prince Malik]

I didn't understand why Brest were favorites against Lorient even though both teams situation says otherwise, Lorient are 2nd right now and Brest are in last position, that is a very big difference between the two, also the goal difference is another factor to make Lorient at least slightly favorites in that match, but Brest were the favorites with odds of 2.25, and they lost, a draw is the best they could've gotten I my opinion.

Monaco did start this season poorly, but slowly Monaco found its best form and now Monaco are on a 5-game winning streak. I'm sure Monaco can
compete with some of the teams above it, because Monaco does have a pretty good squad and it is proven by Monaco that the previous season
they could be in 3rd position. I hope at least Monaco this season can be in 2nd position, so next season can play in the Champions League.
But it's not easy, because this season a lot of surprises happened, like Lorient who played really well and could be in 2nd position. This means that
this season, Ligue 1 has become a little more competitive than the previous season. because the top 5 teams have close points difference,
so it's a little hard to predict what will happen in the future.

[hahay]

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.

Yes, it doesn't matter because after all it is a result that will indeed be obtained, but if it is associated with the best team then PSG should be closer to perfect results to get more wins. At least we can compare with the best teams in different leagues too, like about Bayern Munich and also Manchester City for the previous few seasons when they continued to get full points but they failed to maintain that record towards the end of the season. But for PSG, I still don't get a record like that or a record to come close to perfect for a win when they are already the strongest in Ligue 1.

It's a bit funny to have to favorite Brest who has only won once so far after ten matches in Ligue 1. I can't even imagine anything better for Brest and after seeing the match with Lorient, you should also be able to conclude that Lorient are still good enough strong despite playing at home to Brest which so far has not had a good performance so they continue to lose matches.

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

Actually, there are some other players who got red cards so far, more than Ramos.
But, we know that Ramos is one of the most popular and professional players who got those many red cards, now, the amount is 28 red cards.
he is definitely included in the top player with red cards in the world  
However after reading this article
https://www.givemesport.com/88069036-ramos-davids-zlatan-totti-the-xi-with-the-most-red-cards-in-football-history

But, is it really just a draw against Reims in the absence of Ramos and with 10 men at PSG? Where Reims is not a big club, the game is not very good either. Or is PSG really underperforming, especially with only 10 players? But, why can't they score goals even before Ramos gets a red card huh?

The strongest team in Ligue 1 is PSG. And so as common spectators we expect PSG to win every match. But this is not the case. PSG won 8 out of 10 matches and drew 2 matches. I would say their performance is pretty good. PSG won't face much problem if they draw 1/2 matches.

PSG's main goal is to perform well in the Champions League. And they are top of the table in Group H. Apart from the draw with Benfica, they have earned full points against Juventus and Maccabi Haifa. And I believe PSG can win against Benfica in the next match.

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.

I don't think so because Marseille's main goal is to have a successful season in the Ligue 1 already. Maybe you will ask "Why did they lose a very easy game then?". I think that the answer is "The players had some fatigue after their Champions League game.". They played here only after three days in the end. Despite demolishing Sporting by 4-1 there they must have still been tired before starting this game.

But of course getting this loss right before their PSG fixture in the league is very bad for Marseille. As that game is in Parc des Princes as well, PSG have a big opportunity to make the gap with them bigger.

Finally Lorient has successfully get 3 points from Brest that playing at Brest home ground Lorient were conceded goal first but only took 7 minutes to Lorient can equalized the score and Terem Moffi has scoring 2 goals and help Lorient to win the match with slim score 2-1 and currently Lorient has taking over second position from Marseille and during participant in France league since been promoted this is the best achievement from them because before this season Lorient only the team who fight to avoid relegated zone and now they has been changed became an dark horses team who possibly to break the domination of Marseille or Monaco for top 4

quite impressive performance was shown by the Lorient team and they did beyond the expectations of many people, currently Lorient have won 8 matches 1 draw and 1 lost from the 10 matches they have played, if they can maintain their good game I am very sure Lorient will be able to finish in the top 4 this season.

while Marseille had a bad result this week, they suffered a loss at home against a bottom team, that's a shame and I lost a lot of bets in that game. and that's football a lot of surprising things happen and that's why football is always interesting because there are unexpected things.

Marseille are still in a good position even with that loss, and i agree with you, it could because the players got a little tired and exhausted and mostly because they don't have a lot of good replacement for their best players, so most of the times they are forced to play with almost the same squad in every match, and fatigue can get some of their players.

I really didn't expect that Lorient, which has a player valuation far below PSG, is able to have 25 points in Ligue 1 and managed to rank 2 on the standings. I wonder how long Lorient can maintain their good performance, and whether they will surprise by shifting PG's position at the top of the standings!!  in the next week, Lorient will face reims, I'm sure the victory will be owned by Lorient.

I have followed Ramos closely since he moved to PSG, he is no longer that violent player that bullies other players. He is no longer the nightmare of Mohammed Salah  and the Liverpool players. He has calmed down but still good at silly plays with his team mates. But his nature is still in him, no matter how calm he is, he can never be as calm as Messi.

I have checked it up and he has about 27 red cards, it will be 28 inclusive of the recent one. However he is far behind one Bedoya who has 46 red cards to his name

No one doubts that PSG are the strongest team in Ligue 1. as for, with a draw against Reims in the last match.
I think it can't be separated from the change in strategy and starting eleven that Galtier implemented in that match, for sure Galtier saved the energy of his players for the champions league match.

as Galtier had predicted, the results would not be very satisfactory. after all, a draw doesn't really affect PSG's ranking in Ligue 1. as we know, PSG's goal is to do well in the champions league.
In the second leg later, SPG wants full points when playing at home to host Benfica later.

Another formation change also had to be made by Galtier in the middle of this match after Ramos was sent off by the referee 4 minutes before the end of the first half.

Losing a defender still makes their scheme have to be rearranged in this match even though they did control the game but they lost in terms of chances.
Their possession was more than 60 per cent in this match but from the number of chances it was clear that Reims dominated this match as they struggled to pay attention to defense and attack at the same time when they had fewer players.
