French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rahmad2nd]

I still haven't seen what the revival moment for Marseille will be in this regard.
They still haven't been able to make this good enough and despite a win with Lyon in the previous week but it was still a narrow win and they were still cornered at the time just holding on.
I personally am still not quite sure about them, especially since the opponent they will face is Monaco and the advantage is clearly in Monaco considering they played at home when they hosted Marseille in their last match before the holiday.

Of course, Marseille has just come off a bad trend. In their last 5 matches in all competitions, Marseille suffered 4 defeats and one draw. victory over Lyon, can be a motivation to lift their morale against Monaco later. these two teams have the same points, with 27 points from 14 matches in Ligue 1.

If we look at the statistics from the standings, these two teams have something in common. in 14 matches, they won 8 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. of course in this match, Monaco is more superior than Marseille. besides they played at their own base, Stade Louis II. Monaco is in a better form than Marseille. in their last 4 matches in all competitions, Monaco only got one draw and even then in the Europa League match.

however, if we refer to the odds held by Manaco and Marseille, Monaco's advantage is that they play at home at odds @2.26 while Marseille's odds are @3.00. my estimation in this match, Marseille will win this match.

Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are three strikers who would be terrible if they were at their best. While Bayern Munich is more likely to rely on the physicality and speed of its players in terms of counter-attacks. I believe PSG will beat Bayern Munich this season, but this is a prediction that might be wrong when we know how the two teams will be.

The MMN trio is a deadly trio that is indeed very threatening in the league, their impressive game often easily destroys the defense of every PSG opponent in the league, currently if we talk about the league maybe we can't deny that PSG is the king of Ligue 1, but if we talk about the champions league Of course it's hard to say if PSG is a strong competitor even though they have Messi, Mbappe and Neymar because I think in the Champions League of course experience and mentality are the main capital to become a champions league competitor, the round of 16 match is of course a pretty tough main test For PSG because they have to face a very experienced team like Bayern Munich, I personally believe that the match between PSG and Bayern Munich will be very tight but I have more confidence that Munich will qualify for the next round.

Right now both teams are on level in quality, but performance is clearly favouring Monaco which is doing good for the last few weeks and now having good spot after poor start of this season and Marseille is suffering badly in last few matches with they have first won against Lyon which was also not impressive because they win this match by 1 - 0.

But, their away form is good and this is positive going into their favour but with Monaco is playing currently they are doing their best for having higher rank before this break showing their commitment and things are also interesting for both teams here most chances Monaco could be in better position instead of Marseille and if they are going to lose any point then surely it's going to hurt them badly even it's last match before break, and they can do positive strategy during this break but as their form going they have to end on good note.

Now tell me those players who would play in the PSG in the farm league and would have the worst statistics? I want to know all three (or five?) of these names 
As for Barcelona, I do not agree with you - the main ones were Iniesta and Xavi. Without Messi, they took the gold of the European Championships and the World Cup, while Messi looked pale without them.

@KTChampions it’s kinda unfair to compare Messi in his prime while playing for Barcelona, and the current Messi who’s reaching the end of his career but for what’s it worth I too feel that he’s having an excellent season and he’ll only get better if he remains fit.

Furthermore even after they two left Messi stayed back and helped Barcelona win matches, and currently at PSG he’s acting as a provider which shows that he wants to play for the team and not chase individual glory which proves what a great player he is.

Here I agreed with you it's never been ideal to compare players like these on different era's even right now Messi is old but still have strong companions and can do many things which are possible for them in current season for their team but right now main focus is World cup instead of things like these because now we are just few days away from world cup and for the Champions League matches we hare nearly three months and things could be changed, and we can expect any things during this time period which also can create problems for many teams.

Here now PSG currently in super form and they are going to face Bayern Munich which is also back in business after having bad period with their form but still they have done good job in early round of Champions League with thrash Barcelona and Inter, so any result is possible and for me Messi could be vital player but right now his focus is world cup for his country.

There is no team in the world of football that psg cannot face squarely, there is no team. Psg is a complete team with the three of the most dangerous attackers in the world.  This might be the last time these three will fight together and I believe they will fight with their last strength this time around. If there is any team to underrate it shouldn't be psg.

Yes it is true, no team can underestimate Paris Saint Germain with their luxurious squad like that. But unfortunately I see the advantages they have can not be maximized properly. I mean Paris Saint Germain always fight against strong teams, even if they can't achieve maximum results. I would say that in the squad they don't have the same fancy chemistry as the players in the team.

[Bobrox]

I also think that it is still early to make sure about Marseille to have regained their strength back. It was an important victory over Lyon indeed. They needed this win to improve their morale. They suddenly started a horrible streak and stopping it with a win in a big match was important for them.

The Monaco match will be even a bigger one for Marseille. Monaco are already favoured @2.26. They have the same points with Marseille now. And Marseille won their last head-to-head match here by a 2-0 score as well. Marseille win option @3.00 is trying to get into my head now.    Marseille would make use of a win in another big match very much to be honest. But maybe it is safer to add both teams to score @1.59 to a parlay as both of these teams are quite productive.

Important victory when beating Lyon 1-0 for Marseille after several bad result actually eliminated from Champion League, faced with bad result at last several games in Ligue 1, Marseille try to wake up back and won from Lyon 1-0 could be capital faced for next games against Monaco for last match before World Cup.

Based on standing position both team have the same points but Monaco favored with playing home, actually I don't think excited to bet for Monaco with @2.26 odd than Marseille have @3.00. Seems this match have chance to draw or Marseille can continue the winning record and fix position standing on the table after drop to fourth position.

I'm not comparing the young with the old, but with theoretical competitors - in my opinion, playing at PSG is easy to have such statistics. And in general, I am annoyed by the empty PR noise when, for example, Messi makes three assists in a game against Claremont (lol) - all the media write about it as an "achievement". And when Gnabry makes three assists in a game against Barcelona, it's referred to as "nothing special".

This match is difficult to predict which team will win, because these two teams are not very stable so any result for them is still possible.
But one thing that is certain for me is that Monaco will not be able to end the match with clean sheets, because Monaco's defense in my opinion is not very good. At least it is also evident from the number of goals that Monaco has conceded, which is higher than Marseille.

That's why I say Monaco won't be able to keep clean sheets in this match but on the contrary with Marseille, Marseille can still end the match with clean sheets whether it's with a score of 1-0, 2-0 or 0-0. But if Marseille concedes first then surely, Marseille will be able to score a goal back which means both teams to score.

So yes, betting for both teams to score and or betting on the total goal over option can be a good bet too. But if you do have a strong prediction and feeling to choose the winning team, then of course it will also be a great bet because the odds are good.

I agree with your point of view. In fact the Ligue 1 is a pretty easy league for PSG. Hence we shouldn't be very surprised with the big wins PSG get. In the end they are already far stronger than literally every single one of the teams remaining. So Messi's scoring multiple goals or making several assists in a match against a weak team shouldn't be praised too much. He is Messi and this isn't a difficult job to do for him in this kind of comfortable matches. Of course I'm not saying these to underestimate Messi but you get my point.

I would respect such news if he does the same against one of the biggest teams in the Champions League for example. As a result the media should act the same against both incidents. No matter Messi or Gnabry does the same against a weaker team, the media should write similar things without exaggerating one of them.

Another week coming up, after these games there won't be football for a while, well there will be but it will be in Qatar and not here. I am sure that the last bets are going to be a bit more boring.

I am hearing that there are a lot of people who are saving up, and not wagering now, and instead basically putting that money that they spend weekly aside, and then collectively will spend it on world cup games instead. I hear that there are people who say they will wager on ALL games. I won't do that, this week specially looks great, PSG will of course get a win, Marseille looks like they can too, Lyon too it’s really a good week to wager.

In terms of position, they are also not much different because there is only one ladder with the same points.
Monaco have slightly better goal productivity but their defense is also very poor in this regard.
I would not even dare to bet even with quite tempting odds in this match considering their conditions are the same, actually this still has more risk.

Apart from that, it is undeniable that Paris Saint Germain is currently one of the best teams
Although at first I was a little doubtful that the presence of a few star players on a team could create a selfish conflict, but they seem to handle it well. It is proven by their success to consistently lead the Ligue 1 standings and get a ticket to qualify for the round16 of UCL

Right now, in top five teams Monaco is surely conceded more goals than any other team which needs to be settled but with the way of play they are doing good because recently I watch few matches and I believe mostly they are playing open games with aggressive mode which is good for them but in last five games they have three clean sheets which mean works already going on for improving defence which is good and with this all most chances we will be able to have them into good spot until end of this season.

For the Marseille game both are good and improving performance which is good, but Marseille is surely missing after the worst games, and recently they have won first game after five matches which mean things are turning into positive but still facing team like Monaco is not easy for them.

It is interesting to see Neymar performing better than Mbappe in the league now. I mean that Neymar has 11 goals, 9 assists while Mbappe has 11 goals, 2 assists. Maybe Mbappe is a more selfish player than Neymar and that's why there is a difference like this. Actually Neymar was quite such player in the past but he is a much better team player at PSG now. This is good for him of course as he is more beneficial for his team in this way.

Maybe Messi's presence is helping Neymar play like this also. Because while they were playing together at Barcelona they already got accustomed to this style. Now they are like back to their old days here. This sometimes annoys Mbappe when they play together more rather than doing the same with Mbappe. But I hope there isn't any big problem among them now.

Well Neymar is a great player and a huge superstar i always expected from him to have some huge stats. In the years before either he was injured or he didnt want to play thats why his stats were so terrible. Messi i think dosent care much about personal stats he just goes for the team to win

Neymar has not been able to maintain his fitness in previous seasons. He was injured most of the time in the last few seasons. And so he couldn't score much. At the same time, Neymar did not have good chemistry with the squad players due to injury most of the time. However, Neymar's fitness has been quite good this season. And because of Neymar's good chemistry with Messi, Neymar is consistently performing well.

[bering]

Lyon only can able to gets 2 wins from 9 recent matches i think they should be improved again their performance because that's not good for them especially to compete with other teams for European zone and today against Nice they will attempts to gets 3 points although that's wouldn't be easy because Nice performance was quite better lately even they can surprising me with beat Lorient few weeks ago and Nice also has successfully to gets 6 consecutive no lose in all competitions and in my opinion although Lyon probably will used this match to bounce back but it's very difficult to them so there are possibilities the match will ended to draw or Nice  can get the winning result

Neymar has never been a bad player for one day. He gives his best at anytime and he has passion for playing football. I don't like the idea that he is always been compared to Mbappe. If fans continue to do this comparison there will be more misunderstanding between the two stars.
They are both great players and should be left alone, if you want to compare, try Haaland and Mbappe.

Player like Messi is having positive development on PSG overall with this right now they are doing good job in this season which is good for them even few rumours working around about Mbappé attitude but overall we can say they are improved side specially with their Neymar game now they are having good chance in Champions League which is their best target in this season and now in knock out round they are going to face Bayern Munich which could be the toughest match of this season for them and in case of win this match they can go through as winner as well.

Mbappé which is having selfish or childish behaviour surely creating some problems, but management can handle this easily so hopefully now things could be ended in good for them, and they can go to the top which is important for them if they want to have control in European competitions as well.

[Balmain]

It is not easy to trust Lyon this season. Let me state that the reason for this situation is purely defensive weaknesses. The home team have a hard time returning to the game after conceding a goal but they have no trouble scoring. Nice, on the other hand, is far from last year in terms of the game but it has achieved a six-game not losing streak and this increases the motivation of the team. I think they can at least score points with extra concentration in this away game.
