French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

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.

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.

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.

In fact, PSG team needs a very good quality coach. Because PSG has great players, but the coach fails to utilize their skills properly. If Messi is allowed to play for free then Messi will be able to give something better. Also, there are more star players in the team, if Mbappe leaves the team, I think PSG will become a great 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.

The second position is fickle, many teams reach there and lose it, because they are very close to each other, Marseille looked first even, and still lost that position as well, and dropped as low as 4th if I am not wrong.

Ligue 1 needs to recover from this nightmare, they are not really putting too much effort into their teams knowing very well that PSG will be champions, but they need to fix that for sure, it's not going to be easy but there is a need for a top 3-4 teams instead of just champions, and if they could have those teams that would be great. Lorient was nobody just last year, this year fighting for a higher position, this shows lack of competition in the league.

And they only got a draw in this match which saw them fail to reclaim their previous position from Lens. They did not run a good effectiveness in this match, it can be seen from their statistics which only recorded 5 shots on target from 21 attempts. Troyes managed to stumble Lorient and make it difficult for them to create opportunities ripe. now Lorient points are equal to Lens points with 27 points.

lorient was really unlucky, an own goal made by laporte made the opportunity for Lorient to take back 2nd place be far. In the last 2 matches that Lorient did, the result they got was only a draw, they could not bring victory, it made PSG stronger at the top with an unbeaten status.

One by one PSG rival teams began to drift away from the championship path and made PSG more comfortable at the moment at the top, like many predictions before the league started if this season was not at all different from the 21/22 season in which PSG would again dominate the league by leaving the rival clubs with the distance is quite far, I think at this time we can't expect much from lorient, lens and even rennes to be able to stop PSG steps in winning the championship and the draw that lorient got today is one of the proofs.

At the beginning of this season the appearance of the Lorient Team was very promising, from the 12 matches they have played they have managed to collect 27 points, won eight times, drew 2 and lost only once, hopefully this season Lorient can play consistently until the end of the season and can secure a ticket to the Champions League next season, Team Lorient's appearance is very different from the previous season, because in the previous season Lorient was only able to finish in 16th place in the standings at the end of the season, hopefully Lorient will continue to play consistently until the end of the season.

Lorient success this season is very surprising, unexpectedly managed to occupy the third position with the acquisition of 27 points, the number of points collected by Lorient is the same as the points obtained by Lens who is in second position. Lorient have improved very significantly this season, they have not spent big money to buy star players. But managed to turn things around like last season which only finished not far above the relegation zone.
Lorient need to maintain their form to continue to be in the top four if they want to appear in the UCL next season. Lorient must be wary of Marseille and Monaco, these two teams can be a threat because they are no strangers to the top four positions, they will try to enter the UCL Zone to be able to appear on the European stage.

[execijutiere]

In all the matches played up to this hour, the teams have managed to score goals against each other. Rennes won 2-1 away to move into 4th place. They will play away against Fenerbahçe in midweek. I expect Fenerbahce to win with a dominant game.
In the French league this year, some teams continue to show unexpected performances. One of them is lorient. They are doing very well with Lens.

We have already predicted that PSG will continue their dominance this season as well as the previous season. However, with the likes of Marseille and Lens having consistently performed well for a long time, many thought it would not be easy for PSG to win the title this season. Several teams will be fighting for the title this season. But we don't see anything like that. Marseille has fallen far behind. They have lost in the last three matches. They are now 9 points clear of PSG. However, Lens will probably be able to hold on to second place in the table.

[buwaytress]

Rare foray for me this season but does anyone else think Monaco's a value bet at 3/1? Match starts in little under half an hour, they've already had a relatively bad season and need 3 points to get back into European spots, and Lille's form not as good as Monaco's 4-streak now. Feel like they're about to kick into gear... hopefully Minamino features as a super sub, feel for that guy really.

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.

I'm actually with you here. I've always thought there wasn't as much in the tension as the media makes it out to be, he's definitely not my favourite character by far, but he's a professional at the end of the day, who knows he only wins when his team wins.

Also kind of wish this thread isn't all PSG =D

Obviously this is a very rapid improvement because we know last season Lorient was so difficult to penetrate the middle board and even almost relegated at the end of the season but for this season especially at the start of this season the improvement is clearly felt even they are still quite comfortable in the top 3 at the moment.
Lens is also very good but they certainly didn't achieve from the bottom because last season they were in 7th place but of course until week 12 they were still comfortable in 2nd position showing their increasing performance.

[Slow death]

the results of today's games had some surprises

Angers 1 - 2 Rennes

this game would almost end in a draw, it was very bad luck for anger to have suffered a penalty and a goal in the 90 + 3 minute, this is the kind of thing that leaves any player, coach and bettor frustrated, imagine the people who bet that the game would end in draw and then just when the game is almost over with just a few minutes to go Angers concedes a goal, and something that makes a bettor very angry

Clermont 1 - 3 Brest

I thought Clermont would be able to win this game, but they not only lost but also conceded 3 goals, that was a result that surprised me

Reims 2 - 1 Auxerre

as expected Reims won the game

Toulouse 2 - 2 Strasbourg

also for this game I already imagined that Toulouse would win the game

Troyes 2 - 2 Lorient

Lorient could have won that game just got unlucky

Nice 1 - 1 Nantes

this was a game where nantes was very unlucky the penalty at 90 + 7 minutes made the game end in a draw, but nantes also had two red cards, they were very unlucky

Lille 4 - 3 Monaco

Monaco missed big chance to take a good place at the top

[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.

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

Yeah it was a really unlucky moment for me. Marseille started the season passionately but their performance dropped very much recently. I was seeing them as the biggest opponent for PSG this season but they are far away from that point as the point gap has gone up to 9 now.


Lille - Monaco was a really amazing match as the final score was 4-3. Both teams were really weak in defense. For example two of Monaco's goals were due to the big mistakes of a defender and the goalkeeper. But it was still lovely to watch these teams having one of their most productive matches. There was no clear favourite in this matchup. Lille were just one step ahead by a slight gap according to the odds. There is still a one point gap between them in the standings but this win carried them ahead of Monaco now.

While Lille are making progress these days Monaco are starting to get unsatisfying results again.

[Furious 7]

Lille 4 - 3 Monaco

Monaco missed big chance to take a good place at the top

This is the most exciting match in Ligue 1 I have watched this week.
They are chasing each other's goals and this of course really makes my adrenaline rush in watching.
2 times Lille's goal advantage was rewarded by Monaco and even created a third goal but I 2 Lille goals in the second half ended Monaco's victory in this match.
With this result Monaco must be willing to shift its position now.

it was a great match, a lot of goals were scored in this match, both teams were attacking but lille were lucky to get the fourth goal in the 71st minute, with this result makes lille 1 point ahead of monaco, the middle board is very fierce

quite surprised also to see many matches this week that ended in a draw

nice vs nantes = draw
troyes vs lorient = draw
toulouse vs strasbourg = draw

Indeed quite a heated match between Monaco and Lille and regardless from shifting positions, the actual rank after 12 rounds is interesting with Lens and Lorient in top after PSG instead of Marseille, Lille, Monaco or even Nice, Rennes or Lyon.
PSG secured 5 points difference, Messi goal was good vs Ajaccio and both Messi and Mbappe were doing perfect, although the absence of Neymar.

[execijutiere]

Today we have seen some very entertaining matches with lots of goals. I can say that the closing match was a spectacular one. We saw 7 goals. Throughout the match, we were alone with the pressing game of the Lille team. Monaco found goals but not enough to win.  It's a good development for the league that there are mutual goals in every match. This means that everyone is capable of scoring against each other.

[Velvet78]

The Ligue 1 has become really interesting lately. The closest opponents of PSG in the standings are Lens and Lorient now. However even with them PSG have a five-point gap at the moment. They are already starting to consolidate their lead in the league earlier in the season. This is important for them also because this will help them decrease their load here and focus more on the Champions League title.

It is a pity to see Marseille's performance dropping this much on the recent weeks. They seemed like they cared about the league more than the Champions League before. But now it is like there is no difference for them. Actually we see a change now because they are better in the Champions League considering their last results. 

[nara1892]

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.

At least in this case there are some that he has changed but still the stigma will still be the same especially there are some matches that highlight how they fight which makes this a little more difficult in my opinion to stop the rumors about him being selfish.
I quite agree if the media is exaggerating it but of course this is based on his initial attitude.

As for my performance, it's still the same because when he understands each other better, the potential is even greater for Mbappe.

For PSG I wouldn't be too strange but it will be interesting to see Lorient and Lens this season.
They are very different from before especially Lorient. Last season they could even only collect 36 points from 38 matches played and this is clearly in contrast to this time where they are so strong and continue to try to stick to PSG.
This is clearly a threat to Marseille because if this continues some great clubs like Rennes or Marseille should be able to play even better.
