French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Tumanggor]

troyes failed to win against auxerre, i think they were able to maintain a 1-0 advantage but in the second half auxerre were lucky to score a goal through perrin, troyes failed to shift nice and clermont

~

I also think PSG will win this match quite easily. They have been scoring a lot of goals lately and all the strikers seem to be in good shape. PSG have been working hard this season to appoint a new coach, football looks much better and fresher. I think PSG is now at its peak in terms of level, but they sometimes concede a few goals here and there and are also regularly behind, which is a small minus. Furthermore, you can hardly bet on them because there is very little value in the bets. Maybe 1.10 for a home win for example.

Despite appearing quite convincing since the start of the season, but Lorient will definitely have a hard time facing PSG, PSG's chances of going home with a win are very large, I think this is an easy bet

[rahmad2nd]

I think that it is worth taking a risk by betting on Marseille against Lyon this week. They have a pretty attracting odd like 2.22 honestly.

Marseille need this win so bad at the moment. It has been four weeks since they got their last win in the league. They were so close to doing it against Strasbourg last week but they conceded a devastating equalizer in the last moments. Their job is even more difficult against Lyon of course. They couldn't beat Lyon in their last four head-to-head games in the Ligue 1. Who knows maybe this might also be a factor for them to have a big difficulty in this game. But despite all these things I want to give Marseille a chance to finish their winless streak with a win in a big game.

Marseille had a good start to the season.  however, after playing in the Champions League. it seems that their performance is declining, to the point of getting defeat after defeat that they can't avoid after undergoing a series of busy match schedules, injured players. they too, have to settle for their current ranking in Ligue 1 and failing in the champions league. after getting 5 defeats in all competitions, Marseille must rise by overthrowing Lyon at their own headquarters.

as for Lyon, they started the season well. but apparently, after losing to Lorient. Lyon suffered 6 defeats in a row, they only managed to bounce back against Montpellier and a narrow victory over Lille at their own home. this match, Lyon are targeting their winning streak.

if we refer to the odds held by Marseille, it seems that the right choice for betting in this match is in favor of the home team.  because the odds on Lyon do not look much different. however, if you look at these two teams with performances that are not so much different. Most likely this match ends in a draw.

I consider PSG to be the best team in Ligue 1 so far. Because PSG has the kind of quality players that no other team in League 1 has. I am sure that PSG will be considered as the champions of League 1 this time as well.

[Slow death]

PSG vs Lorient will be a good game as well, I do not doubt that PSG will destroy them nevertheless but Lorient was the closest team to SG just a few weeks ago, a few draws and a loss caused them to drop significantly. I am guessing that PSG will not lose to Lorient at all.

I will not be gambling of any other game in Ligue 1 this week, I will have bet that is purely PSG win, and another that I combine with other leagues and PSG will be in there (from teams like City will win and Real will win all inside one bet) that should be more than enough. I do not think that any other game has any worth in it, people are free to try, but they are just too boring with how close each team is, even the top ones are way too close to nearly bottom levels.

 

looks like you read my mind, i also bet on psg, milan, some bundesliga teams like dortumond and bayern and some teams from serie A and portuguese league, all in a multiple bet, I don't know if I'll be lucky to win bet , but we'll see what it will be. about this PSG game, there is not much to comment, PSG are a strong team and they are once again fighting for the title and I think they will win this game


AC Ajaccio - Strasbourg

Strasbourg will win that game and I think both teams will score

Angers - Lens

Lens will win this game

[Smack That Ace]

Apparently until week 13 only Lens who can able to pursuing PSG on standings league and compared to other teams in the top 4 Lens performance was quite stable and besides that Lens can managed their defensive line with very well this season and so far they are the team with strong defense along with PSG with only conceded 8 goals and Lens also has several times ended the match with clean sheet and satisfied wins with slim scores and for today match they will fight against weak team Angers and considering Lens previous performance i think gets 3 points from this match isn't big problem for Lens but if we see from Lens previous matches results i think possibly Lens will win with slim score again

I know that sometimes it feels like the other teams are actually chasing PSG and might be able to give them a serious fight for the title. But that is not the case in the end eventually. At the end of the season, it is PSG with a healthy amount of points leading from the second team, and those who actually have some competition between themselves are the teams that finish in the second, third, fourth position, and so on. I think it will be the same this season.

Lens face Angers in their next match, a team that is totally at the bottom of the table and I don't even think this will be a competitive match. This should be a blowout. What matters is how many goals Lens is expected to win.

I think in this case regardless of statistics or whatever it will obviously not have much effect for PSG because it is certain that they will display an attractive performance as usual and will not be too surprised if almost all of Lorient's players will later be in their own defensive zone like Troyes did. previously.
At least that way they can still defend and take advantage of the counter-attack because sometimes PSG are always bad in defense when it comes to attacking.

PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is still very big and for the match with Lorient it is clear that PSG are still superior in every way this season even though the match will take place at home to Lorient, but PSG can provide a fiercer resistance to continue to get wins and full points in Ligue 1 this season. But if the result can be a draw, then it will be very extraordinary for Lorient because it can hold PSG to keep winning, but I'm not sure if Lorient can play in a draw with PSG.

Current odds are Lorient 8.30 Draw 6.00 and PSG 1.33.
from this alone it was seen how PSG were very favored in this match, but talking about the actual draw this might still be possible although of course it is very difficult because looking at Lorient's current record is actually still quite good but I personally prefer to be at PSG than to draw because the result is also possible like that although there is some hope for them to be a draw.

Even though Lorient is currently in fourth place in the standings, PSG chance to win three points is quite open. In the last three matches Lorient have not won, they were only able to draw against Reims and Troyes, then lost to Nice 1-2. Meanwhile PSG have won five of their last five matches in all competitions, including the Champions League.

There is not the slightest hesitation in placing a bet for PSG victory as Lorient are not in the best form. On the other hand, the reason PSG can win this match easily is because the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in good form. Their presence in PSG front line can signal to Lorient that they will drop points again in this match.

I don't know why you mentioned Strasbourg before AC Ajaccio, when we have seen Ajaccio challenge big teams in France. Assuming you first mentioned Ajaccio, I would have said your prediction is superb. There is still time, but I don't believe that Strasbourg can come from 4:2 loss to 4:5 win.
Strasbourg got so unlucky in the first half to conceive 4 goals.  Thanks to Belaili who was directly involved in 3 goals, scoring to Pk and giving 1 assist.

It was a totally deserved win for ajaccio frankly i did not expect them to win like this but it seems that strasburg team allowed them to do so they were ahead 2 0 early in the game and they weren't strong enough to hold the score but still giving the opposition two penalties on a single half, its a day to forget for the defense, the manager should've been very angry, losing to an imediate relegation competitor is something strasburg team should avoided and now they are on a tough spot on the 18th position.

Destroy the opponent? I don't know man. With the World Cup is very close to start, star players of PSG are not ready to play at full capacity in these days. I agree that PSG will not lose to Lorient but win or win big, I am not sure about this.

I will not be gambling of any other game in Ligue 1 this week, I will have bet that is purely PSG win, and another that I combine with other leagues and PSG will be in there (from teams like City will win and Real will win all inside one bet) that should be more than enough.

PSG have many international players and in this sensitive time, it is not wisely to bet on PSG. We don't know how serious their players will play in the match. Because even they have a draw or loss in the match, they will be able to fix it in later of season. PSG are simply very stronger than other opponents in Ligue 1 and they can easily to win the league. Losing points in one or a few matches is not big matter for them and is not enough to prevent them to win the league.

This will be a really good match probobly one of the best of the round. I think that Lorient can even surprise in this match and make the league a lot more intresting. Like you said the world cup is around the corner and no body wants to get injured before the world cup starts so they might not go 100%

Strasbourg used to be better in the previous seasons and in the last one they ended 6th so it is normal to see some support for them. This season is a very bad one for Strasbourg and as said Ajaccio is a team that might be challenging, they won vs Marseille for example!
I am not surprised to see them winning but 4 goals vs Strasbourg.. that's too much and Strasbourg should seriously find another way to win or else they will relegate. They choose the worst and hardest season to play bad. 4 teams gonna relegate this season.

The difference that is quite striking is actually seeing the condition of Strasbourg this season because indeed they played very well last season and even troubled the club in the top 4 but this season they seem to have lost their game and this defeat clearly makes it increasingly difficult for them to get out of the relegation zone now because during the season this goes on they have only won once.

Not only this time, but it's been a long time since PSG have been the best team in Ligue 1 and if I'm not mistaken, PSG has won nine titles in Ligue 1. it is known that this has happened a long time ago and not just this time, because PSG were strong in Ligue 1 long before Messi was in the team. This time PSG have the opportunity to get another trophy in Ligue 1 and obviously nothing will be able to stop it.

Getting the league 1 trophy is nothing for psg and definitely no one will be able to stop theme, i believe the players focus this year will be the champions league and They will do the impossible to get the missed European trophy

[D-law]

How consistent can Lens be so far this season
They have been the next up after Marseille to back PSG behind the table
Three points yesterday to keep Angers drifting down the table. It should be a win win for PSG

PSG will keep dominating even in future seasons because they have the most fortified squad in the ligue 1. But the Gap between PSG and Lens is very narrow just 2 point difference and Lens might be having that confidence to make some surprises this season maybe thinking of having the trophy this time. And it will only exist in their dreams because PSG will be having it for the 11th time it would have been in a row if not for Lille who took it in 2020/2021 season

I also think with you guys that PSG will win the match of today but I know that PSG will also conceed from Lorient.
Those guys know how to win football and score a lot of goals and the funny thing is that they also know how to allow their opponent to score them they hardly win one game without conceeding, that is one of the things that will affect them in the Champions League.

[bering]

Lorient actually need more points to secured their position on standings league because they were failed to wins 3 times streak but unfortunately today they will faced strong opponent PSG and this is really hard match for them especially last week Lorient surprisingly lose at their home ground from Nice so my predictions Lorient will tasted another lose from this match

PSG had good records from Lorient even they were able to wins with 2 goals margin or more from Lorient so this proven PSG is too strong for home team but Galtier as the manager of PSG should be more concern to PSG defensive line because conceded 5 goals total from weak teams such as Troyes and Maccabi Haifa is not good achievement and Lorient also quite productive this season so if he don't want PSG slipped today i think he have to evaluated this issue and for those who want to bets for PSG win this option has odds @1.34

[rahmad2nd]

Reportedly, Messi is doubtful to play against Lorient tonight. Messi is almost certainly not in the Paris Saint-Germain squad against Lorient. PSG announced in a statement that he was suffering from inflammation of the Achilles Tendon.
Leo Messi will remain under treatment as a precaution, he will return to collective training next week.

If Messi is confirmed to miss this match, I think it's an advantage for the Lorient team. the article, Messi is often the creator of the field for the PSG team. however, the absence of Messi does not necessarily weaken the sharpness of PSG's striker. after all, there's still Mbappe and Neymar that PSG have.

fortunately for Galtier, Lorient are in a declining form in their last 3 matches without a win. however, that does not mean PSG will easily win this match. worst case scenario, without the presence of Messi, Mbappe will find it difficult to create goal opportunities.

PSG vs Lorient match has started and currently, PSG is 1-0 up through Neymar's goal in the 9th minute. I saw a good decision taken by galtier not to force Messi to play and put ekitike as the wing striker. it looks like a very easy match for PSG.
