French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

With all of these hullabaloo, I will say I do not blame Mbappe. Instead I blame PSG for making a huge mistake with him from the onset. Can you imagine, man got's such a big ego and so much power bestowed upon him by the club -  he's the Sporting Director, coach and franchise player. If Madrid still wants him that's their problem but I know that they are going to mess up the current squad they have. Anyways in my estimation, no one can exactly say what's going on with Mbappe and PSG management.

right, the fault is on PSG's side, they wake up mbappe's ego and don't know that it's a ticking time bomb. I also don't want problems between PSG and long mbappe because it will affect the team's performance, especially PSG will face strong opponents in the future, the psychology of other players must also be taken care of.

Lorient 0:0 Reims FT

Lorient has failed to grab a whole 3 points in this match even when the opportunity was there. The Reims team guys were red carded twice at 46th minutes and  90th minutes but the Lorient players didn't take advantage. It was a really good fight by Reims and it is better 1 point than zero point.

This is really regrettable, even though the second half was purely Reims playing with only 10 players, Lorient failed to take advantage of the opportunity to shift PSG temporarily.

The league is a little more exciting this year. Paris SG are the only team without a defeat. I thought they were going to dominate the league on their own and they are doing very well for now. They will play a very critical match against Marseille today. If Marseille wins, they will meet defeat in the league and have the same score. If Paris SG wins, the point gap will widen even more. There is an Mbappe crisis in these times and things may be different than usual at Paris SG.

Paris Saint German will continue their winning streak this season if they will Marseille in the Parc Des Princes stadium. We all know it's not going to be easy game for the parisians as they drawed their last game both in the champions league and their league game. Christophe Galtier will want to win this game inother to maintain a wide gap difference on the table. We might be expecting a draw from the game because Marseille are very good when it comes to defending tactics.

The only possible way for PSG to become bad would be the drama they have. If this Mbappe-Neymar-Messi drama continues, then they may become bad eventually, but if they are not causing enough trouble to lose, then they will of course easily beat any team in the league.

Right now the drama as its peak, and Mbappe is asking for the keys to the kingdom, and if they do that, they won't be as good, they need to convince him to be part of the machine, but he doesn't want to be. This means either Mbappe will win, or the team will win, and based on that each game is a risk right now. Let's see how this game will be, but not going to be simple by the looks of it.

International coincidence

I was very surprised to know this fixtures will all happen today across all leagues:

Liverpool vs Manchester City  -EPL
Barcelona vs Real Madrid  - Laliga
Bayern Munich vs Freiburg  - Bundesliga
Dortmund vs Union - Bundesliga
Psg vs Marseille - ligue 1

Tips for bet and live bet please.

Lorient failed to overtake Paris Saint Germain at the top of the standings after they failed to get a win after being held to a draw by Reims. It was surprising when they had to achieve this draw with an opponent that is arguably not very strong, in fact they failed to get a win with Reims only playing with 10 men at the start of the second half. Statistically also Reims can match the game from Lorient. I didn't expect this result.

[Sirait]

Lens narrowly won 1-0 from Montpellier through a goal that was made by Said in the 67th minute, he was the man of the match. Lens has performed well since the start of the season, only losing 1 time. the big match that will happen later is marseille vs PSG, PSG target is to win, this is a very good match for mbappe or neymar to shift the position of david (losc striker) who is currently the top scorer in ligue 1.

[KTChampions]

Everyone loses sooner or later - even the big clubs, and it's always "unexpected" so I wouldn't be so sure if the Lorient streak would continue.
By the way, France has only three direct tickets to the Champions League and the gap from 4th place is only 4 points, so I would not be so sure about getting Lorient into the Champions League either.

It s correct that every club losses at a certain time that is football for you but it is very rare for a team to lose at a time they are in top form. The Lorient team are in good form so I don't expect them to lose so easily this time around. The second half of the match just started and the scoreline is it still goalless. A winner could be determined this second half, otherwise both teams we share the points.

As a result, 0-0, but I would say that this is closer to defeat, since 2 points are lost 
I don't remember the bookmakers' quotes for this game, but I can assume that they were quite fair and did not make Lorient a clear favorite. Bookmakers have seen similar situations a million times when, thanks to a combination of various factors, the middle peasant gets into the top. In fact, this does not make him stronger in any way and does not change the real odds, as a result, everything returns to normal later.

[Bobrox]

Left one excited games in Ligue 1 between  PSG vs Marseille begin two hours later, have collected 26 points from 10 games still can't make PSG on safety placed as first standing position because Lorient as runner up have the same points with PSG collected. Facing Marseille is most important games for PSG if want to make points different with Lorient and have chance keep lead first standing position at Ligue 1.

At the other side, Marseille have the same important too because left 3 points behind Lorient and PSG can be the same if success win from PSG tonight, I think most competitive later if Marseille can win from PSG and position until third standing place will have the 26 points.

The gap between PSG and Marseille is just three points. If Marseille can win today's match, the Marseille team will have a chance to go to the top of the table. Some important players like Ramos, Nuno Mendes, and Kimpembe will be missing in today's match. If Marseille plays attacking and manages to score the first goal of the match, they have a chance to earn points.

Liverpool vs Manchester City  -EPL
Barcelona vs Real Madrid  - Laliga
Bayern Munich vs Freiburg  - Bundesliga
Dortmund vs Union - Bundesliga
Psg vs Marseille - ligue 1

Coincidence indeed but not that good in EPL and Bundesliga as for now.
City lost vs Liverpool with 1 goal, Dortmund lost 2-0 vs Union!
In the other games, Real Madrid won and Bayern is leading 5-0 vs Freiburg, the destruction mode as usual with the Bavarian machine
In Ligue 1, the result is still 0-0 between PSG and Marseille in the first 30 minutes. The other results here weren't good for Nice and Monaco. Lyon lost 2-3 against Rennes..

[execijutiere]

Fenerbahce's European rivals Rennes continue unabated. Today they managed to defeat Lyon. I can see that it won't be an easy game for them but they will start with a 1-0 advantage as they are the hosts.
Monaco, on the other hand, seems to have fallen apart after the defeat against Trabzonspor. In the home game against Clermont they didn't even show their presence.

Goal - 1:0! Neymar (Paris SG) receives a precise pass inside the box from Kylian Mbappe and he beats the goalkeeper with a neat finish into the bottom right corner.

Mbappe have assisted Neymar to get a goal.
At last he has broken that record that people has been using against him as selfish. This is because he has scored good number of goals without assisting any of his fellow players to get a goal. Today he provided a nice assist to Neymar and I am happy because this could bring back the team spirit among the triple stars in PSG

[ILuckyGuyI]

I don't think that there is an improved "team spirit" at the moment. Neymar and Mbappe were like this in some of the previous games as well. But we have heard about how serious the Mbappe situation have become later. They don't reflect their feelings about this topic too much on the field and this makes us think like things are better. You must have seen the Mbappe - Messi incident also. Mbappe bumped Messi in the shoulder in a match and Messi seemed angry with that attitude right after.

As a result, I don't think that the trio will stay the same by next summer. Mbappe would leave most probably and Messi might also do so in case he gets an offer from Barcelona especially.

[Tumanggor]

With the composition of players like PSG today, I wonder why they were only able to win 1-0 against Marseille, it seems that marseille has memorized the strategy launched by PSG

from what I see actually PSG does not match the 4-3-1-2 formation. Neymar's goal is an assist from mbappe, it looks like this is mbappe's first assist cmiiw  

[perfect999]

Some important players like Ramos, Nuno Mendes, and Kimpembe will be missing in today's match. If Marseille plays attacking and manages to score the first goal of the match, they have a chance to earn points.

PSG earned full three points from a hard fought match against Marseille and now with this defeat they are dropped to fourth spot behind Lorient and Lens with gape is widened from three points to six points and now in next match they are going to fight against another big performer of this season Lens which is having poor away form but still this is not going to be easy match for them, they are also already on two losing streaks.

There were good chances for both teams to score goals but sadly both fail to do this, and we have just one goal which is also special as today Mbappé assist to Neymar for doing goal which can end feuds reports which are currently circulating around social media.

Currently, form is good but without any doubt Mbappé attitude is surely creasing feud in this team with most chances if he is going to leave in next transfer window then surely we can expect good change in this team and their performance could be also improved because without him, they still have few quality players which are capable of having better skills, and they can change tables into their favor specially if Mbappé leaves then no other player will leave this club and their results could on positive because his childish behavior is not acceptable for any other top player in any club.

In the early stage of this season Real Madrid were interested into sign him but now as we are watching things are going most chances they could be not taken this chance because their few youngsters already performing amazing, and they can do better without him if he is going to join this club then surely negativity could be happened, and they can lose their momentum.

Don't know if PSG's game has been read or indeed they haven't returned to the way they were before because we know in the previous match they had a bad result against Reims.
But indeed this narrow victory was able to bring them 3 points and of course this is quite good I think.

[Slow death]

actually it's not that. in the last 5 games PSG failed to score more than 1 goal, the exception was in the game against nice in which they managed to score 2 goals, PSG's attack is very bad in the last games, they are not managing to score many goals, the Their luck is that their defense is very good, they don't concede many goals, and that's why they are well positioned. if they had a bad defense and were conceding a lot of goals then they would be very bad in the table

It is true that having achieved the 3 points is something very good, but the question here is:

with that way they play where they can't score many goals, will they go far? in the champions league they can be removed if they don't improve.


Nantes 4 - 1 Brest

Nantes was very inspired, they managed to score 4 goals and won very easily

[Velvet78]

PSG won the game by only 1-0 even there was still quite a lot of time after Marseille got that red card. Messi was able to play after an injury but he didn't score or make an assist. There was a Neymar - Mbappe cooperation which was interesting. Because they have had some problems between each other so far. But it is nice to see this not affecting their individual performances badly in games.

Things have been going bad for Marseille for two weeks. Two losses in two weeks isn't good at all. I can understand the one against PSG but can't as for the Ajaccio game before. They will face Lens home next time which are another tough opponent after PSG. They should prepare very well for this one to end this bad streak.

Actually Reims is not too weak and if we look at past results against Reims against Lorient, then you can judge that Reims also has abilities that are not much different from Lorient, although the number of wins in the past is indeed more than Lorient, but on average the average is narrow wins and draws. PSG did an excellent job and was able to win narrowly at home against Marseille. The victory is very important for PSG to continue to add points and make the distance with its competitors in the temporary standings.

The cooperation between Neymar and Mbappe is cool. It is a first assist of Mbappe for other players in this season. It is a good start for him to find real happiness and improve his connections with other players.

Mbappe missed some chances in the match and he has far journey to move closely to the level of Ronaldo Nazario (Brazil). He has good speed and good finishing skills but he relies too much on his speed and his style is easy to be constrained by opponents. Like Riems' defenders, they did not give Mbappe too much space to run and to shot. After all they successfully prevented Mbappe to score a goal.

Actually Reims is not too weak and if we look at past results against Reims against Lorient, then you can judge that Reims also has abilities that are not much different from Lorient, although the number of wins in the past is indeed more than Lorient, but on average the average is narrow wins and draws. PSG did an excellent job and was able to win narrowly at home against Marseille. The victory is very important for PSG to continue to add points and make the distance with its competitors in the temporary standings.

PSG are trying to get more points and in the same time, they also try to avoid injuries for their players. They want to avoid injuries before and after the World Cup too. Because after the World Cup, they will have important time in Champions Leauge that is their biggest wanted trophy in this season.

The victory against Reims is another brick for PSG to complete Ligue 1 as earliest as possible in order to reserve most of their resources for Champions League.
