French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[harapan]

PSG just lost their match. I lost a bet. It was the last game. I did not watch the match. I'm so angry right now. I never expected this from them. They struggled to win in their last game and they lost the one. The worst they could have gotten today was a draw or so I  taught.
But we move. They'll still win their league anyway.

Lens wins 3-1 and costs the first defeat of the season at Psg in Ligue one, what do you think? Maybe PSG players are more tired after this World Cup? Or just a somewhat unfortunate recovery of the championship?

Well, PSG lacks Messi and Neymar mainly but that should not be an excuse to fail like that vs the team that is following them closely
It is like a reward for Lens after they missed 2 points in the previous round, they gave them 3 points for free so reducing the gap to just 4 points!
I believe PSG didn't take the match seriously and they are tired a bit too.
Lyon also had a disappointing result vs Clermont although their opponent lost their two previous matches..

It's just unfortunate for the psg side to miss two other great key players in a very important match against the title contender rc lens , the red card from psg previous match make neymar have to miss this match while messi reported still partying the world cup win lol , he deserve that though.

3-1 and it's not something that everyone expected , mbappe can't do much despite the domination.

Lens had such an efficient performance that it helped them destroy PSG by 3-1 in a home game. They had 4 shots on target in total and 3 of them ended up with goals. PSG really had difficulties in the absence of Neymar and Messi today. Mbappe couldn't make the contribution needed for at least one point. Even if he played better they might have still lost this game though.

Lens seemed very determined and deserved all the appreciation. However the point difference is still 4 between them in the standings. I don't know whether Lens can get closer than this but we'll see.

[Rabi3]

Lens showed that it was not a surprise to be in the second place.

even though a lot of Players were missing from PSG's squad, we gotta give Lens credits for their win today and their run in Ligue 1 so far, it's impressive that they are only 4 points behind a team like PSG with all the money spent on the team and all the players they have, the real question now is will Lens keep doing as good for the rest of the season or not, their next match in Ligue 1 will be against Strasbourg, despite the gap in points between them it won't be easy for Lens to win, i won't be surprised to see a draw there.

[Slow death]

Lens 3 - 1 Paris Saint-Germain

well, I think that PSG made a lot of effort to win the game but with a lack of players PSG's attack became very ineffective and with that the midfield also became fragile so that the opponent who is already strengthened could have greater control of the ball and had very effective attacks something that in a way made them win that game without having to suffer pressure from PSG, this was also a big test for PSG who should improve their defense, PSG's biggest problem since years has been on defenses

They sent the old coach away because the defense was a disaster and they hired Sergio Ramos so that they could improve the defense, but in today's game it was clear that if the PGS plays against a team like Bayern, they will be crushed and humiliated, that's because the greatest specialty of bayern and precisely being very aggressive in attack

PSG has a bad defense, which without a doubt could concede more than 3 goals in the game against bayern, if the PGS wants to win the champions league they will have to improve in defense and for that it will be better to do tests when playing against teams with a lot of goals to have an idea of how weak this defense is and how to fix it before the game against bayerm, until now i wonder what the hell neymar had to do and take a red card unnecessarily

[Docnaster]

It isn't a big surprise, already the betting odds were close enough to think that such a thing can happen. It wasn't easy, but the lens had to move away with three points. It's a result of hard work and good preparation from Frank Haise's side. It was easier for them because they knew the weak point and they were able to utilize every chance. It was quite difficult for PSG mostly because of the defense line. I think but hopefully, Galshier will do something in other to stabilize the team before the clash against Bayern Munich.

PSG loses to Lens 3-1. It's clear Mbappe missed Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.'s services. Although Messi might not score, he will provide the chances, Neymar will create the space, provide assists, and Lionel will always find a way to draw attention to himself, thus creating crucial scoring opportunities. Let's hope they have a better match next time.

With the statistics in that match, PSG is actually far superior, I don't understand how PSG's game pattern is and what makes them confused. Neymar and Messi cannot be underestimated, both of them have an important role on the field in making the game creative, but unfortunately these two players are still absent for an unknown time. With a distance of 4 points, Lens will certainly be even more enthusiastic in their next match.

They definitely feel the absence of Messi. He not only scores goals, but also gives motivation to the team. I think PSG's performance will be in serious decline during his absence. However, we also have to emphasize the performance of the Lens. They played very well in this match. They misled everyone like me who didn't see them as favourites. They are the first team to beat PSG in Ligue 1 this year. This sensational win is very important, but I still believe PSG will be champions at the end of the season because they have a very strong football player squad and Ligue 1 is an easy league for them. So PSG will easily forget this bad match by closing the next few weeks with a win.

[bering]

Marseille has starting the league with big win from Toulouse several days ago and apparently this result was successfully to boosted their mentally and today Marseille will attempts to gets 4 winning streak from Montpellier and head to head statistics showed Marseille was unbeatable in the last 5 matches from Toulouse i think this is indicated they probably can able to win the match and for away matches Marseille records was more good than their home matches that from 7 matches total Marseille only lose once and it from PSG and today this match will played at Montpellier home ground and i think Marseille can bringing 3 points from it and the odds for Marseille is @1.74

PSG will lose games regardless of having Messi or Neymar on the field. They have lost games with Messi, Neymar, and mbappa on the field together, whosoever gives the impression that mbappa is worthless without Messi and Neymar. This is an incorrect assumption.
Lens yesterday outperformed PSG. Lens was more skilled with the ball and made use of most of their opportunities.
PSG also wastes a number of chances to score.
Simply put, PSG had a poor day.

PSG had a poor day - that's right. They have won all the last 10 games and lost the last time on 20.03.22 against AS Monaco 0:3, so it's been a long time. Messi and Neymar are very important for the offense, but you have to be able to win without them. Hugo Ekitike (20) and Warren Zaire-Emery (16) are very young and they don't have the experience yet. Pablo Sarabia is not an equal replacement in the forward line, that's it.

[hahay]

With Lens' win over PSG with a score of 3-1, Lens is the only team that has conceded the fewest goals so far in Ligue 1. Didn't expect it, because who can predict PSG's competitors who are looking good so far are Lens and not about Lyon, Lille and Marseille.
The number of PSG's key players who could not be played, this had a very bad impact because it made PSG's performance really drop dramatically.

This result at least proves that when PSG are without their main players, PSG is only like a mediocre team. Because if I compare the defeats of Lens and PSG so far this season, they have only received one defeat, but PSG got a worse score when they received defeat compared to Lens.
But yes, at least PSG's position is still safe at the top of the standings, and when their key players return, PSG will return to their best form.

Without Messi and Neymar, PSG are less creative in attack, and that is PSG's weakness in the match against Lens. It was clear that in that match Lens managed to take advantage of the absence of the two PSG superstars by playing more aggressively and also with high intensity.

Even PSG's defense was not very able to withstand Lens' attacks where they conceded 3 goals in 47 minutes. PSG's defense was too weak in that match so that the superiority strategy of Lens players in PSG's defense could not be anticipated properly by PSG's defense. Lens' second goal was very quick, it was a counter-attack and the third goal was the fault of the players themselves.

PSG are still safe at the top of the standings even though they dropped points last night against Lens and of course that doesn't make the PSG team discouraged because they didn't play with a full squad team, so yesterday's defeat made PSG have to improve so they don't lose points in the next game, Lens can just overtook PSG at the top of the standings because they are only 4 points apart

The prediction was clear before the match that Psg are not set for the game
The odds alone will tell one that gambles it's going to be a hard game
They really missed Messi and Neymar in that game, Lens narrowed the points to four points difference now

This defeat again proves a fact that Mbappe relies on his team-mates to play well. He is mostly nothing if can not get support from Messi and Neymar and of course other players. His style is simple, totally relies on his speed and opponent defenders can easily to catch him if he is alone.

Such defeat and such under performance are helpful for Mbappe and I hope that he can learn from it. Especially I hope that he can realize of his weakness and reduce his high ego. He need others to succeed so he should stop his egoistic show.

PSG are still safe at the top of the standings even though they dropped points last night against Lens and of course that doesn't make the PSG team discouraged because they didn't play with a full squad team, so yesterday's defeat made PSG have to improve so they don't lose points in the next game, Lens can just overtook PSG at the top of the standings because they are only 4 points apart

They are safe because they have advantage from their super form in early of season. However, this defeat is not too good for PSG and other clubs in Ligue 1 know that they can beat PSG. This win of Lens gives other clubs more confidence to face with PSG in future.

Important for PSG to learn from this defeat and try to enhance their team by correcting their loopholes. If they can enhance themselves, they can be more dangerous in Champions League to aim at a first trophy there.

I did not expect Lens to beat PSG, even despite the fact that some players missed the match due to injuries or reste. The game was equal but the advantage of Lens on the scoreboard is significant. This means that for some time the intrigue in League 1 will still be present, but despite Lens victory, the gap is still 4 points, this is a comfortable gap for PSG. And by the way, Lance still retains excellent dynamics, they may be able to compete with PSG.

The opportunity for Lens to overtake PSG at the top of the standings does exist because the point gap for the two teams is very close, but Lens needs to hope for two more defeats at PSG because if PSG only loses once more and Lens is able to win again in the next game, PSG will still be on top standings and Lens still has to be in second place in the standings. And this seems to be a little difficult for Lens as well considering that PSG can still be consistent in the next match.
