French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[CLS63]

One of the bets in my parlay is Marseille win.

However they are making me really worried as they still haven't scored against Lens yet. At least they haven't conceded and it is still a winnable match. But I don't see the same ambition in the second half now. Lens are keeping the match even more balanced in this half and I'm losing my faith as minutes go on. I just hope that Alexis Sanchez can save his team with a goal maybe. He has made a good effort in the attacking line by scoring 4 goals in the league so far. This is the time I need him the most. 

Otherwise the nightmare will go on for Marseille as their streak without a win will go up to three matches. After that solid start there is a significant level of drop in their performance these days.

Marseille vs Lens

2 weeks without wins it proven Marseille in the poor performance period so the match against Lens will be so difficult for them because so far Lens performance has quite impressive but don't mean Marseille chances to win the match is completely closed because there were some of teams who can able to beat Lens before such as Lille and i noticed Lens is good at ball possessions so they might be will attempts to dominated the match and Marseille should be playing patiently and take the chances to scoring goals if Lens lost of focus because Lens defense also seem quite poor to anticipated counter attack strategy and the chances is slim but Marseille probably can win the match

Marseille lost, this is their 3 consecutive defeat, at this rate they will start to fall in position, having 3 consecutive defeats is not good, while the lens that won in that game is now in second position, and something that makes me surprised, I was expecting that monaco could surprise and be in second place but in the last games monaco has been losing points, so PSG and Lens are the only ones that will fight each other to see who will be champions

you were very unlucky because they lost in the game and the saddest part is that they conceded a goal in the 78th minute, honestly the guys held on for 77 minutes and just when the game had a few minutes to go and when they conceded a goal and lost the game. I'm glad I didn't bet on this game, if I had bet on this game I'd be annoyed

Messi Mbappe's combination was something to watch. But Mbappe missed some good chances which is very bad for a team. In addition, the way Mbappe played in harmony with everyone in this game is appreciated. If everyone in the team plays together like this, it will be possible to achieve something big for the team.

well the opponent was very weak so this result was expected, the question here is: can PSG face a strong team and have the same performance and result? That's what I want to see, because in Ligue 1 the teams are very weak for PSG, that's why even when I see this result that PSG had I'm not surprised, but could PSG easily beat premier league teams or champions league? and that's what I want to see and about Mbappe, eventually he would have to collaborate with everyone on the team

[jakdanyel]

Marseille were weird today. I mean that they were doing really good in the first half but their performance started to drop in the second half very quickly. Lens saw a big opportunity there and benefited from it nicely. Normally Marseille could have won this match if they were able to maintain their performance in both halves.

After this 1-0 loss, Marseille's losing streak has increased to three matches. They are already nine points behind PSG now and the gap has opened much earlier than I expected. Because I thought that Marseille would keep up a good form for a long time this season. They really seemed to care about the Ligue 1 better than the Champions League. But this performance is horrible now.

Yesterday Neymar was not in the squad. Did Mbappe stays at Paris St. German... that has to do with Neymar. There is currently no friendship between Mbappe and Neymar, if you believe the media. Neymar should leave Paris and then Mbappe would stay until 2025, if that does not happen probably both will not have a great future in Paris. Neymar has another problem, he has to testify in court because of fraud. It is about the transfer in 2013 from Santos to Barcelona and how much money was really paid. Paris is looking for a new club for Neymar although he has scored 9 goals in 11 league games. Mbappe has scored only 1 more goal, so 2 yesterday against AC Ajaccio.

I don't think have serious problem between Neymar and Mbappe after watching last games both player success give 3 points for PSG when defeating Marseille, seems media have contribution and more over when publish between friendship between Neymar and Mbappe. Last match against with Marseille Mbappe have contribution giving assists to Neymar and seems between them not any problem yet despite on games between Ajaccio Neymar not in player list. I think not any problem yet again whatever Neymar absent just have confirmed by PSG manager, lets waiting when PSG have play at champion league, will Neymar back to starting eleven again and playing together with Mbappe?

This exaggerated report is certain because the media are of course still looking for news about this. Even though in some cases there have been incidents between Neymar and Mbappe recorded, of course there are exaggerated reports and the media is one of the biggest players in this.
Yesterday's match Neymar was not there because he was still undergoing trial for allegations of corruption and fraud so that Mbappe and Messi were the ones who had more roles.

I never heard such that Neymar is on examination of trial, even right am even prefer Neymar to be in match down measi because means has fade up in football, because it age, mbappe and Neymar are the squads i believe that can do wonderful when the needs arise because football only be measured by your fitness which we all know that messi is more less fitness right now, so i dont want to say much let it looks as an abuse

[Smack That Ace]

Ajax vs PSG. We certainly know who is the favourite, but anyway I don't know for sure what the result will be. PSG are without Neymar in this match, but Mbappe and Messi are in the line-up which is complemented by Carlos Seler. Ramos is also not in the line-up and on the substitutes list, so that has earned Mukiele a place at centre-back.

PSG have been in excellent form in their last 11 matches without defeat, 29 goals scored and only conceded 5 goals so far. If PSG win today, then it will be their 10th win of the season.

Sorry, maybe you meant Ajaccio, of course it wasn't Ajax.
PSG won, Messi scored 1 goal and 2 assists for Mbappe. To be honest it was an easy match for PSG, but that's not the case and I just want to say that the collaboration between Messi and Mbappe in this match was great. Without Neymar in fact no problem, PSG appeared without much burden to win 3 points from Ajaccio.

Ajaccio is almost without a chance at home because PSG really managed to dominate the match well. There weren't many mistakes, and of course 0-3 was a satisfying result. Next match, PSG will play Maccabi Haifa for Champions League matchday 5. It is likely that PSG will also win that match easily.

This match was too easy for PSG to win, this was obviously a no-brainer for me. The majority of bettors picked PSG to win without any doubt.

First of all, the quality of the squad is better at PSG. There is no question about that. Some Ajaccio fan told me PSG will not play Neymar in this match, even though PSG do not have Neymar on the team, I didn't think it is going to hurt them too much. You know they are going to do fine without Neymar. Because that's how the squad is for PSG. It is absolutely stacked with great players.

Ajaccio recently has not performed up to the mark in my opinion. Obviously, I don't think the performance is so high that they can be able to beat PSG. PSG won by 3-0 yesterday, fantastic easy bet.

In the important match of the week, Marseille hosted Lens. Marseille dominated the first half and didn't give Lens a chance. He had a very good first half, but in the second half, lens slowly started to show his influence. Lens scored 15 minutes before the end of the match and won 1-0. Marseille lost 3 weeks in a row. If he had won all 3 games, he would have been the leader, but now maybe he will fall to 6th place.

I don't see any bad defense for Lens and in fact, Marseille and Lens have both had the same number of concededs as 8 so far. But indeed, Lens is better when playing at home, because so far Lens are the only team to get all their home match wins and even though this is an away match for Lens I personally don't believe Lens will lose. With a record like that, I personally still don't see Marseille getting a better chance of winning because after all, Lens are not an easy team to beat either and a draw in this match could be the end result with only a few goals.

The draw almost happened with the score 0-0, because Lens was also just able to score a goal in the 78th minute and at this moment my prediction did not go wrong. Basically, no one dominates this match because of the statistics in the first half which was won by Marseille, and in the second half the statistics were won by Lens and also won for the final result with a score of 0-1. With this result, Lens can really show their consistency to finish in the top three and because they are also the only team that is very good at home, I don't doubt the quality of Lens this season.

This becomes very interesting, because it turns out that this is the third season for Lens to play in Ligue 1, because previously Lens only played in Ligue 2. Factors like this remind me of Union Berlin in the Bundesliga because this season is the fourth season for Union Berlin by becoming a leader standings in the Bundesliga. Indeed, different from Lens, but at least they have had a very good gameplay this season and they can continue to grow well and it can be said that they can grow quickly.

In addition, the way Mbappe played in harmony with everyone in this game is appreciated. If everyone in the team plays together like this, it will be possible to achieve something big for the team.

The combination of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe looked very cohesive when they led PSG to victory over Ajaccio, Both managed to freeze three goals with details of 2 goals + one assist from Mbappe and one goal + two assists from Messi. Messi's role began to change while playing for PSG, before he was very diligent in scoring goals and was very often the top scorer. Now Messi provides more assists for other players, the addition of two assists against Ajaccio makes Lionel Messi the king of assists or the most assists contributor until week 12 in Ligue 1.

Marseille vs Lens match went in a balanced way. both have the same game. does not create many opportunities in the opponent's defense. Lens was lucky to have a chance and a goal from David Costa. it gives it 3 points. and it was extending Marseille's consecutive losing streak.
Marseille last season was runner-up, I think there is still a chance for Marseille to catch up at this time. Marseille must immediately improve its game to be able to catch up. otherwise, it will be quite a gap between the leader of the standings.

This was how Mbappe, Messi and Neymar were playing, scoring and assisting one another before Mbappe was given the contract that made him an unpronounced Lord over others. It seems that Mbappe is beginning to realise that both Neymar and Messi for football gods who have been playing before he could start his professional football.

I think Marseille has no chance to win the championship. They can still take part in the race for second place. In fact, I do not find the probability of a team to become champion in League 1 other than Paris SG realistic. Paris SG has a squad quality far above League 1. Even in the Premier League, they have a squad that can play to the top. Therefore, we can say that the race for the second place for League 1 can be exciting. Marseille is lagging behind in this race.

The match looks equal even i thought it will be ended with draw but and after David Costa has made fantastic score from outside penalty box it makes Lens leading and unfortunately this is the only goal that happened in this match and now Marseille position downed to 4th and 3 losing streak is showed there is a problem with Marseille and Igor Tudor have to solved this immediately

For upcoming match there was an interesting records between the match Troyes vs Lorient today that from 5 recent meetings Lorient was failed to wins from Troyes and for today match i think it will be different because Lorient has been changed far to better compared to their performance last season and last week Lorient indeed was slipped because only share point with Reims but it shouldn't have bad impact because from this match they probably will bounce back and improved their meetings records from Troyes

yes, that's true, now some teams are only competing to be at the top of the standings in order to enter the European zone, to become champions of course PSG is very possible.

and Marseille are now in trouble, after starting the season very well but in the last 3 games they seem to have lost their game and it continues to this day, it is a mental and internal problem for Marseille, a team that is unbeaten in the first 9 matches and In fact, now they have lost in 3 consecutive matches.
Marseille can't be consistent to keep up a good game, I don't think they deserve to be at the top of the table.

The last three weeks have been very bad for Marseille.  They weren't used to being beaten so sequentially.  They have started the league so well that they are in 4th place despite losing their last 3 games.  If they had won all 3 games, they would have the same points as Psg today.  Of course, they were defeated against Psg, this is different.  I also think that they were a bit unlucky as they were beaten by 1 goal difference in all 3 matches they lost.

the older, the better. those are the words I can say for Messi. he really played at his best, in that game.
I don't want to exaggerate Messi, but in every game, he is able to play very impressively and always gives his service to Mbappe and Neymar.

As for the match against Ajaccio, without Neymar in the match, Mbappe played more freely and it was proven that he could score two goals in that match. that way, he has scored 8 goals in all his Ligue 1 games, and is only one goal away from Neymar's.  currently, PSG advance with 32 points and are only 5 points away from second place.

I think Galtier will focus more on the champions league. which incidentally, PSG is currently not in a fairly safe position.

[ILuckyGuyI]

We shouldn't even consider the chance of Marseille to win the league title.

Because there is no such performance that deserves the league title now. Their beginning to the season was really impressive though. They were able to fight PSG at the same level for some weeks. I don't what happened later and they started to perform really poorly. Losing three games in a row has made things horrible for them all of a sudden. Their performance against Lens was really nice in the first half and I was also happy as I bet on their win for this game. Because I thought that they would finally get a win and gather themselves up.

However it wasn't the case. There was a completely different Marseille in the other half. They were like they gave up on the game for no reason. Their priority must be this league rather than the Champions League in the end. So I'm wondering what's bothering them this much currently.

[KTChampions]

In the absence of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe chalked up all the scoring in the game - rather greedily I must say  Mbappe has 2 goals and an assist, while Messi has the opposite. Excellent teamwork. However, this is an ordinary result and it would be strange if it were different in a game with a team that is one step away from the relegation zone.

No one doubts Mbappe's ability on the pitch. But most people regret the behavior he has shown lately. If he can reduce or even eliminate his selfishness I'm sure he will develop much better. We can see if he plays with good teamwork he can bring out his full potential. I was wondering if he was in a bad mood when he was involved in tension with his teammates? Yes, I think his mood has an effect on the attitude he has shown so far.
Paris Saint Germain's victory is nothing strange, because the victory was predicted beforehand.

I don't know how you came to this conclusion. PSG are so much stronger than Ajaccio that they should win with the same  score (maybe even more) with reserve squad. Mbappe, by the way, in the previous game (where the only goal was scored) made an assist to Neymar - in fact, he is not as selfish as some try to exaggerate. And even if so, he must understand that his personal success directly depends on the success of PSG, so he must work for the team.

Lorient team has lost the second place after lens beat marseille yesterday but they have being performing really well lately so they can easily win their game today against troyes but it will be a tough one, because their opponent want to put an end to their bad streak and they want to get as far away from the relegation zone as possible, this game will be tough to predict but despite the odds i still favour lorient.

lorient will face troyes later, and many doubt whether lorient will win this match. people's trust in lorient is still minimal, and not a few also say Lorient is very lucky to be in the top 3 of the temporary standings. I'm really looking forward to the final result of this match.

It is true that the older the better.
There is something that I have discovered among these three great players. When Mbappe is not in the field, Messi and Neymar plays really well and coordinated.
When Neymar is not in the pitch Messi and mbappe plays very well and coordinated.
When we see some kind of trouble or misunderstanding is when three of them are in pitch or only mbappe and Neymar. It can be said that Messi is the factor that is uniting the two big players in PSG and the club will soon realise it.

The last three weeks have been very bad for Marseille.  They weren't used to being beaten so sequentially.  They have started the league so well that they are in 4th place despite losing their last 3 games.  If they had won all 3 games, they would have the same points as Psg today.  Of course, they were defeated against Psg, this is different.  I also think that they were a bit unlucky as they were beaten by 1 goal difference in all 3 matches they lost.

Marseille faced bad performance in domestic league after losing at last three matches in a row after beating by Lens last night, three defeats in a row lost to Ajaccio, PSG and the last to Lens made Marseille have to get out of the Champions League zone tickets and is currently in 5th place with achieved 23 points. Actually Marseille have good started in this season and have dominance several weeks at second standing with PSG and gap few points only, but now three loss from three matches have make points gap with PSG 9 points.

Seems Marseille have focus at Champion League match and have to loss from Lens last night, still have chance for PSG to qualify next round with 6 points collected until matchday 4, I think several player save preparing for next match at Champion League make Marseille have got loss on domestic league.
