French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[terrorJR]

With the current condition of the club, PSG can actually play with their full core squad, I think this will not be a significant problem, especially since they also have to take out their defeat last week on Angers.
Angers' performance this season has obviously dropped a lot and their defensive line has been very problematic this season so this could be an easy win for PSG.

I also see Angers as an easy opponent for PSG and even PSG could play second tier players in the last few minutes against Angers. Because it is the team at the bottom of the Ligue1 standings which is very bad this season, while PSG is a team that still has the potential to continue leading the standings until the end of the season to win the Ligue1 title this season.

But on the other hand it could also be like before where some mistakes were made and they lost like against Lens and almost drew the match when Neymar was sent off against Strasbourg.
They have to play full game now because there's no time to play around unless if they want competition with Lens they can fold again but that's clearly impossible.

Conditions are quite different for these two teams.
Marseille before and after the break are still showing quite good performance so far and even their first 2 matches in Ligue 1 they managed to win but I think they need to overcome some problems like when you see the condition of the players who are always provoked to play hard.
Their last 2 matches in Ligue 1 and in the Fench Cup were always red cards and of course this is not very good.
But indeed, to fight Troyes in this match, of course Marsille is on paper to be the winner, especially considering Troyes' current performance, which is still experiencing inconsistencies.

I saw it against Montpellier, Marseille players are very hard, even the keeper Lopez this guy can't do that. It's fair he got a yellow card and Montpellier got a penalty kick, agree Marseille players should not be provoked, because it will make them lose later when against other strongs teams. In 5 head to head matches Troyes vs Marseille, indeed on paper team Marseille more ahead, so that possibility Marseille will not lose a points in that match.

Their emotions are always out of control which makes Marseille actually suffer losses because of this and as much as possible at this time they have to neutralize it.
Even though their 2 matches were in different qualifications, a red card was still a real loss. They need to reduce their bumps and rough play against Troyes as this unnecessary foul could turn into another loss for Marseille.

[LUCKMCFLY]

There will be a quite big competition for the second spot in the standings for certain.

I especially expect a competition among Marseille, Monaco and Rennes for that. Maybe I'm prejudiced about Lens but I don't feel like they will be able to keep up this level until the end of the season. They aren't normally a very familiar team with their current place in the league. I can't overlook their impressive effort until now of course. But considering their performance last season I feel like it will be the same for them. They will lose their momentum at a point and it will be the start of their fall. For the second spot, I'm favouring Marseille for now.

Well, for a long time there has been a hegemony of PSG, so the first place is no longer debatable, because it is always PSG, but I think that in this case the best lineup has is Marseille, I see it well and It is a team that when they say they play very well7, they do it in a spectacular way, but nevertheless I have been seeing some not very good behaviors, they are somewhat negative and the players do not believe it, and that is something negative, when they play against PSG it is as if they had too much respect for them and it is not something that is good, they should lose that respect and play one on one, without lowering their heads, that is why I have more expectations about Marseille than any other.

Even though there were some players at PSG who might have had to lose when they met Messi and also Argentina in the world cup round yesterday, it seems that it is not a problem now that they are all getting along and are back to focusing together to give the best for PSG. In the next game PSG will host against Angers which we know is now in the relegation zone and it looks like it will be an easy opponent for PSG, I'm sure this time PSG will win easily.

they were professional players, of course it would be fine as long as they weren't involved in any troublesome personal conflicts.
PSG in the previous match against Lens had to lose 3-1. this makes Lens continue to pursue the difference in points. the next match should be easy for PSG to get 3 points and also quite a lot of goals. but now that competition in Europe has also become denser, PSG must also focus on the French Cup and the Champions League.

It would be very funny when the Paris Saint Germain players who competed in the Qatar 2022 World Cup didn't get along. lol
Their interests are different if they are already in a team, moreover that team pays them. They are professional players and as professional players they must put their personal interests above the interests of the team they strengthen, that's how it should be. At club level, this is an opportunity for them to complement each other to create a dream team.

It is that this happens, at least I know that Mbappé with Messi and Ney the relationship is not very good, I think it can be strictly professional, however they must understand each other in their team to be able to have good results, but the combination Messi + Ney is enough how to get PSG forward without any problem, and taking into account that between Messi and Mbappé there is a disagreement that became evident in the final, that is something that is not forgotten, with Ney it is obvious that there will always be, but the quality Ney's is too big to be tarnished by Mbappé, these things will always spread in football and the mere fact that Ney and Messi are South Americans adds much more to Mbappé's pique.

And here it becomes clear:

5 things we noticed about Lionel Messi's return to PSG, including Kylian Mbappe's absence

Lionel Messi received a guard of honour as he made his return to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday – and we spotted a number of interesting details throughout, including the reaction of Ethan Mbappe.

After helping Argentina lift a historic World Cup last month, Messi was handed a well-deserved 10-day break by the Ligue 1 champions.

During that time, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner celebrated with his La Albiceleste teammates on an open-top bus parade before being mobbed by thousands of fans in his hometown of Rosario.

And now, the former Barcelona forward has returned to Les Parisiens' training base ahead of their Coupe de France clash against Chateauroux on Friday.

It is evident that envy exists at all levels, it is something normal, it is like that everywhere, now, I am not satisfied with this, if France had been champion and Mbappé had won the Champion's gait, I am sure Messi would have done. been there and happy anyway to honor an Mbappé.

All PSG officials welcomed Lionel Messi to their training with a grand reception. This is really a must see for all football fans. As well as the Argentine, all other players are highly regarded at their own clubs.

Yes, it was a great welcome, however I would think that if Messi manages to have a better offer he can leave, it is not good to be in a workplace with such impressive envy, besides Messi has already achieved everything in football, there is no I doubt it, I just wonder, if CR7 made that offer for so much money, then if they want to take Messi there it will be with a very similar amount of money.

When Messi and CR7 can play in a team together, if it happens, I think it will be the thing that many of us have been waiting for, and if they go to Al-Nassr in the future, I think I would go see the Arab league in all its splendor.

PSG are going to have a pretty tight fixture as of their game on January 29. They are going to have four Ligue 1 games with short intervals. They have a game against Monaco away only two days before their Bayern Munich game in the Champions League also. I wonder how strong PSG will be able to leave this time period. They will need to get past this with the minimum loss of points in the league. Otherwise they are under the threat of being left behind by Lens in the standings.

That Monaco game could also be really difficult for them. Because they won't have a time to rest after that game so they would prefer to rest their attacking trio I guess. This could really cause them to lose points there because Monaco aren't one of the bad teams now.

Well, PSG doesn't have it easy at all, but you have to remember that they have Messi, Mbappé, I don't think they'll let themselves win, they come from a very high level of football, both Messi and Mbappé, Neymar are players who make a difference, It won't be a problem for them to confront a team however they come, of course the UCL is in, they have very little preparation time, but that's what it's about giving their best, these players are prepared for this, if they go as I think who can act can do it very well, the whole team has to help these players, because they need to win and win.

Something that is brewing with the best of PSG:

First Lionel Messi, now Cristiano Ronaldo: How the football greats have both snuggled up to Saudi Arabia

key points:

    Cristiano Ronaldo has joined football star Lionel Messi in forging strong relationships with Saudi Arabia.
    Saudi Arabia's connection with the two huge sporting figures has thrust human rights concerns into the spotlight.
    But are Saudi Arabia's sporting endeavours an example of a common political strategy?

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the two biggest football stars this generation has seen.

While they differ in personality and playing style, both athletes have cemented their places as genuine greats of the game.

And they're linked by one curious common factor - a close involvement with Saudi Arabia.

After getting the 1st time lost in the last 10 matches, PSG must be revived tomorrow when meet Angers. Lens made a surprise win 2 different goal and that's pretty embarrassing for the clubs which have full of stars and richest player. so can Anger makes the surprise with that pretty odds?,

when we look at the odds below, nothing to doubt if PSG is very powerufll to win the match, but if you enough brave to spend a few money, bet to Anger is look fun.

2 wins from 17 matches showed Angers was so weak this season and no wonder if the bookie provide low odds for PSG because according to the prediction 84% is the percentages for PSG to win the match and indeed for the bettors that odds will not be profitable but to gets the best odds maybe we should be looking for another bets options and if we see team condition that apparently Messi and Neymar will return to play and it makes PSG forward lines will be more sharp and i expect PSG will win with big scores in this match if they will be played and probably with 3 goals margin or more and for me this is indeed quite risky but i am thinking to bet for over 3.5 goals instead of PSG win and this option has better odds

with the statistics that angers currently have in Ligue 1 (13 losses, 2 wins and 2 draws) then choosing angers in betting is ridiculous lol. PSG have always won out of the 23 matches they have played with angers, apart from that messi and neymar have returned, so the chances of angers winning are very small.

I see League 1 Champions beating Angers but not too quick especially getting a first half win is something I don't see happening lots of betting slips and betting sites has recorded a high stake of PSG winning the entire at fulltime. My guess is they'll ( Angers ) would be compact as they'll expect the host to attack them. My prediction for this game would be X/ 1 a draw for the first half and then Messi and Neymar Jr finally gets the job done during the second half.

They've got to bounce back up after the loss to Len's which came as surprise to me, because I never saw lens winning PSG even if they're inna good form currently.

[swogerino]

I think the best value in betting for today Ligue 1 games is in the game Strasbourg vs Lens.I was reading the Flashscore app details and saw that Strasbourg has a lot of games that they don't win so I think Lens will win this game tonight without many problems.

However I placed a draw no bet wager on Lens in order to be sure,I either win my bet or at least get my money back as I don't think Lens will lose tonight.

just a small amount of money I bet for ngers, no need to have high hopes if it wins then it's my luck, it's okay if I lose because I just lost a little money, no one knows the final result of the match, even though I bet it's a draw also quite interesting, PSG could have won the game easily but I prefer to bet with risks like this

Sure, but if Angers win not only make you rich but Anger name is also growing up from degredation zone. So when we are talking about gambling everthing will come possible if PSG player come to selfish, not compact or lost coordination, everything going unprediction. Many bettor going save by choose PSG but several of them put a few money and hope be 16x in 1 night.

~snip~

PSG released team squad face Angers on Wednesday next match but still missing with trio attacking line after Mbappe absent, I don't know and have any official announcement about why Mbappe not in the 20 players list name. But have good news about Neymar return back to the squad team after absent last match receiving red card. Can't waiting with Lionel Messi performance after returning back from national team and he was get World Cup trophy in his football career.

Anger not really strong team after dropping to 20th standing, but PSG have got first defeated in this season from Lens 3-1 last week and have potential for Anger make surprised second loss for PSG in this season.

I still haven't found it can you provide a link related to player announcements.
But he should be there of course because seeing from the condition of his body he has no problem with his body so there is no reason to be absent but on the other hand I haven't found any related news about this so maybe tomorrow there will be more updates about the game against Angers.
But even if Mbappe is absent now that Neymar and Messi are coming back I don't think it will be difficult.

I think it's just a prediction of the starting line-up, because I didn't see any official statement from Galtier regarding the line-up they will play for the game vs Angers later. from some of the media that I read, Galtier will apply a formation pattern with 4-3-1-2 which pairs Messi with Hugo Ekitike. Meanwhile, Neymar and Mbappe are still doubtful whether they can play or be absent in this match.

I emphasize, this prediction is only temporary speculation and does not refer to the actual formation later. But for PSG's defense, Hakimi cannot be used because he received a red card suspension, Nuno Mendes is still a doubt, Renato Sanches is still recovering from an injury. so if the scenario goes like this, Galtier will make Carlos Soler the playmaker. but again, these are just line-ups predictions don't mean the truth. As for the opposing team, Angers is not a strong team even though PSG is not supported by one of Tio MNM. after all, there are many injured players. on paper, PSG will slaughter Angers with a landslide score even though Mbappe and Neymar are doubtful they can play in this match.

[Cryptmuster]

PSG will win today, they allowed Lens to get too close, a further loss of points could become critical for the team and Galtier understands this very well. I see that today he gave Mbappe a rest, but Neymar and Messi will play, so we can say that the team is in its optimal composition. If Mbappe also played today, I would say that PSG will score 4-5 goals, but without him the score might not be so devastating.

[OcTradism]

PSG had better prepare well for their upcoming matches especially after the two matches right ahead of them. Because they are going to be entering a quite tight schedule in the league.

When Champions League comes to knock out phase, every season PSG prioritize Champions League than Ligue 1 but they have yet succeeded there. They have good players and are actually strong and even had some great matches, big advantages before second-leg matches. At the end they failed in aggregated results in surprise of many fans.

Will this season be different for PSG?

There are going to be only few days between two matches until their Champions League match against Bayern Munich. PSG need to focus on leaving this period with as good results as possible. Messi, Mbappe and Neymar need to stay fit for the Bayern Munich match otherwise there will be a much tougher challenge waiting for them.

These three players are PSG's everything in the end. I hope they manage to keep these players away from injuries also. For example Neymar is quite injury-prone and he is the player about whom I'm worried the most. He has also made a huge contribution to the team so far. Hence they need him also as much as Mbappe and Messi.

Messi, Mbappe and Neymar can not bring PSG to winnings in all matches especially in Champions League. They need more than only three players with good performance to win matches and in Champions League, their whole team must play well enough and avoid mistakes that give opponent chances to beat them.

If PSG players play good as they're supposed to do, they will beat Bayern after all.

Angers is in a very bad shape and of course PSG will win today even without Mbappe and even if Messi and Neymar both didn't play in tonight game.The reason is simple and that is the bad form of Angers which is a team candidate for relegation this year if they do not start improving their way of playing.It is not at all worthy to bet on money line bet here with an odd of 1.16 rather I would go for an over 3.5 goals as minimum but the over 4.5 goals should be an ideal bet here with a reasonable good odd.

This season Lens has indeed had very good performance, even in their last game, no one thought that they could beat the dictator team in the league. Unlike Lens, who are currently ranked 2nd in Ligue 1, Strasbourg is in the relegation zone with Brest, Auxerre and Angers. Of course, because of this, people will bet more on Lens winning.

TBH, I had a bad experience of a top team match and a team in the relegation zone. I mean, don't be surprised if you see the results of a match that are beyond your expectations later, good luck, mate.

Strasbourg will host this match, so this will be a match that I don't think is easy for Lens because Strasbourg doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of their fans. the chances of this match ending in a draw are quite large, even though on paper Lens is more favored to win. Other matches that I think are interesting today are PSG vs Angers and Marseille vs Troyes.

PSG will win today, they allowed Lens to get too close, a further loss of points could become critical for the team and Galtier understands this very well. I see that today he gave Mbappe a rest, but Neymar and Messi will play, so we can say that the team is in its optimal composition. If Mbappe also played today, I would say that PSG will score 4-5 goals, but without him the score might not be so devastating.

predictions for the players who will not play in the match against Angers later are Hakimi, Kimpembe, Sanches and Mendes. Even though PSG's chances of winning are up to 80%, if they don't play compact and trivial with defense, chances are that anger will make it difficult for PSG. whoever bets on today's matches, good luck.

With all that is going on between these two teams, I don't see any chance that Angers will win, unless they are very lucky in this game against this very strong team. I don't mean to belittle Angers in the slightest, but what I'm saying is the visible reality of the two teams that will compete. What's more, this is Ligue 1, which is very minimal for teams who are not superior to make a surprise, different from leagues like in England.

As a result of Kylian Mbappe's absence, we will miss the trio. Fans will be delighted to see Neymar and Messi back on the pitch as PSG takes on Angers. As Neymar and Messi prepare to rebound from Lens' loss, we can only witness their magic tonight. It could be a massive goals flow since Angers are not a very hard opponent. Over 3.5 goals is a reasonable expectation and would be worthy to bet.

[Barcode_]

Even though AC Ajaccio had managed to climb out from the relegation zone for the moment, but Reims have also been able to avoid defeat for quite a number of games in the French Ligue 1. As AC Ajaccio are missing quite a number of players in this upcoming match against Reims, I think Reims might be able to score an away victory today.

The reality that you stated is indeed very precise, although that is not to belittle a team, because everyone also doesn't think that PSG will lose to the team that is at the bottom of the current Ligue1 standings, namely Angers. Especially if the match that will take place today is at PSG's home ground so it will not be possible for Angers to win the match, because in Ligue 1 a team like PSG always dominates the top standings by continuing to win more matches.
