French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Rabi3]

These statistics demonstrate how weak Lens was against Strasbourg in previous seasons.

If you look at the H2H statistics for the last 5 matches between Lens vs Strasbourg, on paper Strasbourg is very superior with 3 wins, while Lens only won 1 time and the rest were draws. This proves that the history of the meeting between the two has always belonged to Strasbourg, it's no wonder that PSG, which is so strong, is having a hard time winning over Strasbourg.

This season, I have no doubt that Lens will beat Strasburg in this match because Lens is in second place in the league one table, four points behind league leaders PSG, and they have shown how serious they are this season by asserting that they want to play in either the Champions League or the Europa League next season, whereas Strasburg is in the relegation zone after winning only one match this season.

i think Strasbourg know a thing or two about Lens and can be dangerous against them, i would doubt Lens beating Strasbourg easily, what i'm considering in this match is both teams to score, i find it really fair since Strasbourg always crack the code of Lens defense.

Strasbourg this season is very weak, at the opposite of Lens, where it plays good football. I doubt Strasbourg could win them, their best hope is to get a draw imo.
In the French Cup matches, I saw Ligue 1 teams losing vs weaker team in Ligue 2 or maybe worse

[rendravolt]

I think this head to head doesn't really matter now.
The reason is quite clear because Strasbourg this season and last season are very different and Lens is the same. They are like 2 clubs with a real difference in conditions at the moment. Last season in the 2 meetings that took place Strasbourg might indeed be very favored but for now with the condition of their performance and the current weakness of their defense I think this head to head has no impact whatsoever for Lens who is currently in high confidence.

Indeed, in this match Lens is very favored, I also have the same belief that Lens will win against Strasbourg. But on the other hand, let's forget about the second H2H for a moment, Strasbourg also doesn't want to lose because they are currently in the relegation zone and don't want to go down to ligue 2.

This season, I have no doubt that Lens will beat Strasburg in this match because Lens is in second place in the league one table, four points behind league leaders PSG, and they have shown how serious they are this season by asserting that they want to play in either the Champions League or the Europa League next season, whereas Strasburg is in the relegation zone after winning only one match this season.

It's true, this match must be won by Lens, at least I also want to see competition between clubs this season, so it's not just monotonous being dominated by just one club. The 4 point distance seems to be a solid competition for PSG and Lens this season. It seems that the UCL zone will be secured for Lens for the next season and of course I am really looking forward to this competition like other regular leagues such as Arsenal and Man City or Barcelona and Real Madrid which currently have the same points or are only a few points away.

Even though Strasbourg knows where Lens's weaknesses are, Lens knows better where Strasbourg's weaknesses are this season. Yes, they can easily find out with the negative results that Strasbourg always gets. Being in 19th place with 8 defeats and conceding 31 goals is a weakness that can already be seen clearly. I mean they don't have a well organized team so they lose easily like that.
Meanwhile, on the other hand Lens just beat Paris Saint Germain in their match last week, that will make the morale of the Lens players increase sharply because they can beat the club which is the strongest club in Ligue 1.

Strasbourg poor performance in their last match doesn't justify that they will lose against Lenz in th next match. I don't think is okay to make an analysis base on the team's present form only. Strasbourg displayed a very nice performance against Lenz in their last 6 meetings, which I know well that their performance was not too good in the league, and neither was their position in the France table. I can't bet on Lenz to win against Strasbourg because it is always tough for Lenz against Strasbourg.

Maybe Strasbourg could have surprised by taking a point in this game considering this is football anything can happen here. But considering the different performances of the two teams, I doubt Strasbourg will be able to get at least 1 point in this game. Lens is in good shape, whereas Strasbourg is the complete opposite of Lens as said. So even though it won't be easy, Lens will get full points at the end of the game.

[rahmad2nd]

Lenz is now very close to PSG, and I'm already considering a win on their side in the next 5 matches. Lenz isn't fighting in any other tough league apart from the France ligue 1, for that they are very focus and determined unlike PSG who still have champion league to worry more for. PSG just need to be consistent in winning to increase their point difference with Lenz because the way I see it, 4 Points difference only, is not enough to keep the league.

Whether Ligue 1 is more competitive simply because Lens' points gap is closer to PGS points. I don't think so, especially now that Messi has been confirmed to have re-joined the team. and current rumors, PSG want the services of the Barcelona midfielder, De Jong. through Messi and Mbappe, De Jong was invited to join PSG. if in the end De Jong is willing to leave in this January transfer window, I think PSG's strength will be even stronger. that way, PSG will have a very talented attacking midfielder. this will be a gap for their opponents in Ligue 1. PSG's dominance will be even more difficult to break in Ligue 1.

Next, PSG has a game against Angers, which in fact they are in the relegation zone. not a difficult opponent for them to overthrow, especially since this match is PSG's home game. on the Lens side, their performance must be appreciated especially after humiliating PSG with a score of 3-1. but the question is whether Lens is able to continue to consistently advance with its positive trend. I'm not too sure, but if to finish in the top four Lens has a great chance.

The results that have been obtained by these two teams can actually be used as a reference where Lens will be very embarrassed if they have to lose to a bottom team like Strasbourg. Even though the match will take place at home to Strasbourg. But Lens will still use this opportunity as an arena to get full points because Lens still really wants to stick to PSG in the standings even though they are still unable to overtake it at this time.

Actually I don't really think Strasbourg is a threat for Lens, the reason becomes clear because Lens has a better performance than Strasbourg. After all, everyone seems to believe that Lens will have no trouble getting 3 points in this match considering that Strasbourg has only been able to win 1 time in 17 matches.

So Lens should really take advantage of this easy match to get points and they should avoid any mistakes. PSG also got an easy match, so there is no possibility of changes in the standings.

Isn't this situation when we see random results in national cups true for all championships? Maybe only in England the situation is a little different, although even there the teams put the League Cup lower in priority than the Championship and Euro cups, so there are also many unexpected results. Or at least the favorites are less regulary confirming their status.

Nothing to be expected from strasbourg this season. It has placed at the bottom and there's no reason for strasbourg to leave from the relegation zone. that's almost impossible to happen with strasbourg. The same thing happened with angers too. Lens is starting to be very consistent right now and it can't be compared with strasbourg. Strasbourg was also losing from angers recently even rangers placed below strasbourg. The worst team in french league. I think that both must be relegated to the league 2.

Lens performed well in today's match. All the players of the team played the game responsibly due to which they were able to achieve good results.

I like this version of marseille after the break a lot more they performed well in their first game winning with a huge score and performing well next they will face troyes one of the bottom teams but they sometimes show excelent performance like when they have beaten monaco so marseille team should be carefull especially against teams in danger of relegation, the odds for marseille win are good and i think that's what will happen.

Do you think the team in position 13 in the standings is the bottom team? Also, do you think because Troyes is in 13th position then Troyes is in danger of being relegated?
Because I think, even though Troyes only has a five-point gap with the team in the relegation zone, I believe Troyes will be able to secure their position to stay in Ligue 1.

Because even if for example in the match against Marseille and then Troyes loses, I'm sure that for the next matches Troyes will be able to produce good points.
Also, so far Troyes when playing at home seems that Troyes has more often drawn draws but yes, at this moment it looks like Marseille is in his best form so this match is still possible for Marseille to win.

They drew and lost during the extra time of the game
I see them drawing in the next game during league 1 fixtures
As for Angers they look set to hold psg to a hard first half

[judas]

Monaco are still having difficulties in this season as well. They are far away from their old times as they can't even get into any title competition in the league. They look worse than the previous season as well for now. But it is in their hands to change this. Their recent form is not bad actually. They need to maintain it as much as possible. They need to improve their performance in big matches as well. For example they lost to Marseille in a home match recently. They need to decrease the loss of points to minimum.

Maybe they wouldn't be able to fight for the championship while PSG are this much dominant. But they can at least have a chance to qualify for the Champions League groups directly if they finish in second position.

Monaco have a one-goal lead so far. They are trying hard to win the match. Also the opposition is trying hard to attack to pay for the goal. However, looking at the state of the game, it is clear that Monaco is more likely to win.

Lens currently needs points in every match to maintain the stability of competition with Paris Saint-Germain in first place in the standings. However Strasbourg has a home record where they managed to draw against Marseille and Lorient, the next match against Lens Strasbourg will play as host.
A draw still seems very likely

Marseille managed to perform well. All the team is doing great performance. The best part is that the understanding of each team player is very good, due to which they are able to perform well.

Yes, they can easily find out with the negative results that Strasbourg always gets. Being in 19th place with 8 defeats and conceding 31 goals is a weakness that can already be seen clearly.

Meanwhile, on the other hand Lens just beat Paris Saint Germain in their match last week, that will make the morale of the Lens players increase sharply because they can beat the club which is the strongest club in Ligue 1.

But I feel like even Strasbourg and Lens understand each other's weakness and plus points but with the current form and quality I have feeling most chances Lens will be able to have win in this match because they are giving consistently good performance and their quality is also at their best specially after beating PSG at home they can feel proud which is plus point on other side Strasbourg is having one of the worst defense and their performance is also not good with in last ten matches they have only 1 win which mean it's hard job for them.

Mostly Strasbourg having good performance in Ligue 1 but in this season from early rounds they are giving the worst performance and never been able to handle things on positive way which give them better result and having any hope for the coming out of the relegation zone which is surely strange thing happen in this season with them.
