French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[MoonOfLife]

I don't think Christophe Galtier focus on Champion League and loss opportunity on Ligue 1, although UEFA Champion League is priority after missing several years but Ligue 1 should be easy for PSG comparison with other team in Ligue 1 player composition.

PSG despite having plenty of star players in their squad, they fail to perform well consistently. The main reason for this is that the understanding between PSG players is not good. Had the chemistry between the players been better, we could have seen better performances from them. PSG is capable of winning against any strong team, while dropping points against weak teams. So predicting this team about the match is now quite risky.

PSG is one of the best teams in League One. Currently, PSG team's attack is fantastic. Three of the best players in the world are in PSG's attack. They can be expected to be champions this season as well.

Although PSG have three of the best strikers in the world in attack, I wouldn't say that their attack is too strong. Because although the bonding between Messi and Neymar is good, the understanding between Messi and Neymar with Mbappe is not good. Mbappe plays selfishly. PSG's attack will be stronger if Mbappe and the team players have a good understanding.

Lens are really doing great and their next opponent is not a challenging one for them actually. Troyes are close to the relegation zone now and I think they have a very difficult job against this much powerful Lens.

I'm aware of what happened in the Strasbourg game. Lens lost points very unexpectedly. But I don't expect to see this again in a short time. Troyes are not a very capable team and they lose some big games recently. This should be another game they are losing. After even beating PSG, Lens should be able to keep up a solid form against teams like Troyes.

Currently, Lens is second-best team in form and having second spot in league table as well clearly giving all details about their form in this season which is surely amazing and now in this phase of the season they need to be on target for having best results because from this match second phase will start which is surely going to be tough for the few teams at the top Lens losing points in away games which is not good because with these results they can suffer in their rank and this could be not good they have to change their strategy which will allow them to have better results and full three points in away games as well which will allow them to challenge PSG for the top rank as well.

Troyes is surely weaker side and they already on two matches losing streak in Ligue 1 with now going to face Lens is also challenged for them, they will try to have better result for themselves and staying into middle of the league table will be positive for them.

The results will be very good if Lens can capitalize on their advantage. They are closer to the leaders of the Paris Saint Germain standings now, even that is only 3 points away. Troyes is not a team that can be said to be strong, so there should be no reason for Lens not to win in this match. They don't need to score a lot, what they do is get 3 points from every game, regardless of the score. Because what is more important now is to maintain the point margin they have created so far this week.

I totally agree that Lens has been playing really well this year and that they have a rightful claim to the second slot in the league standings. Their squad is excellent, thus it would be interesting to watch them battle PSG for first place. But if they want to win more games and earn more points on the road, they must concentrate on those games and refine their tactics.

They have my unwavering support and I hope they succeed in this year's championship. I have a thing for underdogs. It would be incredible to see them defeat PSG given their capacity to accomplish so. In addition, we must remember that the second half of the season is a very unpredictable one due to the intense competition. The squad, though, has my confidence and I know they can succeed.

PSG's performance has deteriorated since the World Cup break. They are not playing well. They have lost two of their last three matches. In particular, I would say the performance of their defenders has deteriorated. PSG conceded 3 goals against Lens. PSG's opponents in the next match, Reims, are not very strong. However, Reims will aim to share the points in this match. They have not lost even one of the last 5 matches. And so it won't be easy for PSG to win this match.

Everyone must be aware that PSG's performance has decreased since the world cup break, but that certainly won't last long because PSG has been able to grow steadily

later PSG will face de Cassel in the french cup, hopefully the PSG squad can prove their quality and win easily

This week's game should be the game that will bring victory back to them. Reims is not an opponent that can be said to be strong, so they have to take advantage of every advantage they have at the moment. It would be a real shame if Reims could beat them in this match, they must be more embarrassed than the previous game, because their defeat in the previous week came against a tough opponent like Lens.

Apart from PSG in the French league,  most big clubs in the other league after the world cup they have been facing serious challenge in their performance which is not getting better.  It will be terrible if PSG still remain with this bad performance.

To be honest, I'm quite happy to see Lens' journey so far. ostensibly, Ligue 1 is more competitive. but the truth is that the competition will be even tougher for Lens, in the next matches until the end of this season. they have quite tough matches, until the end of this season. the question is, can Lens continue to appear consistently with the remaining 19 matches until the end of this season, we are looking forward to it.

Talking about the Troyes vs Lens match, when referring to the history of the H2H meeting of these two teams. Lens, always dominates the victory in three meetings. interestingly, Lens was only able to score one goal when hosting Troyes at their own cage. later match, Troyes will play as the home team and they will fight as much as possible to secure their ranking so as not to drop into the relegation zone. if Lens slips in this match, and Marseille wins the match. automatically, Lens' ranking will be shifted by Marseille. well, let's wait.

Because although the bonding between Messi and Neymar is good, the understanding between Messi and Neymar with Mbappe is not good. Mbappe plays selfishly. PSG's attack will be stronger if Mbappe and the team players have a good understanding.

I agree that Mbappe seems selfish sometimes, most people would agree with that. But he is a football player who gradually gained my sympathy even though I found him a bit antipathetic and selfish at first. I'm not going into his game intelligence or something like that, you have to be Messi to have such a complete package. I don't evaluate his statistics from that aspect, as he has maintained his statistics in the French league so far. This kid is unbeatable right now. that is, if we compare it with its peers. He is being compared to Haaland a lot, but this does not find a place in the media like a ronaldo-messi. There is an incredible difference between them. The moment he transfers out of psg, he has a potential to break every record there is. If he goes to Real Madrid, he even might share Messi's ballon d'or record.

[Z-tight]

I have read many posts here about how bad psg have been lately, but i don't see many members here talking about how good Lens have been in the Ligue 1 this season, they have even lost fewer times than psg, Lens have lost once, while psg have lost twice, they are playing very well without any media attention or pressure on them, and i think it has helped them very much. Lens are in second position, but they are only 3 points behind psg, maybe they can climb up to 1st position sometime this season. It will be very hard to do, but who thinks Lens have a chance to win the French Ligue 1 this season?

[Pulsar77]

Lille are also one of the big teams making some progress in the season now together with Monaco. However the things are not the same for Lyon as it seems.

Lyon are actually a team that have conceded even less goals than those two teams now. But the problem is with their scoring ability in my opinion. Because the number of goals they have scored so far is not much high and this is causing them to lose many points recently. We can see it easily from their latest results. They scored 4 goals against Brest but there are 4 matches that they scored one goal the most among their last 5 matches. After having Lacazette back I was more expectant from them. He is actually playing quite decently with 11 goals in the league. But it is still not enough for them to get better results. The team effort must be improved.

I would say Lens is the underdog team. Not many people are interested in discussing Lens. PSG are always on top of the headlines. And everyone is comfortable discussing the PSG team. Because this squad has a lot of star players. But Lens has been playing well this season. And I wouldn't be surprised if they beat PSG to win the title. Lens is now only 3 points behind PSG. If PSG drop points in any of their next matches, they will lose top spot very quickly. And so if they want to be at the top of the table and want to be champions, PSG team will have to play well and win all the upcoming matches.

As it stands now, Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar are the main figure of the PSG team. But since the start of the season, the record shows that Neymar has 11 goals and 10 assists for the team, Messi has netted 13 goals and 14 assists, but of all 13 goals scored by mbappe, he only assists just twice, and this describes the kind of player Mbappe is. For this, I will say You are quite correct. The whole problem in PSG will be solved if Kylian Mbappe is ready to have a good perception of the team

[indah rezqi]

I agree that Mbappe seems selfish sometimes, most people would agree with that.

In some situations, I agree that Mbappe is very selfish - but it's the only possible way to prove himself great to the world.
I don't know what he thinks about his colleagues on the pitch especially about other PSG stars like Neymar & Messi. These two players have proven their worth with previous teams, and they have had quite a bit of feat both as a team and individually. I don't think it's good for Mbappe to push himself beyond his two senior players so that people think he's selfish.

Mbappe can prove his quality in different ways, but he must be very wise in his actions especially when he has more senior star players in his team. I know Mbappe is a favorite son, but he has to realize that he is not the greatest in the world compared to Messi.

The moment he transfers out of psg, he has a potential to break every record there is. If he goes to Real Madrid, he even might share Messi's ballon d'or record.

Very likely, it's because Mbappe is a quality player. But not for now or next season.
Mbappe might not only fit in in La Liga, but he also seems fit to play in the Premier League with a team like Manchester City, Liverpool or maybe Arsenal.

PSG has more goals than Lens, so if for example Lens wins and PSG loses the next match then they have the same points but PSG are still on top. Unless PSG loses big and Lens can win big, then it's possible that Lens will take over at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
But even so, it will not be easy to maintain a position at the top of the standings because of course there will be greater pressure. But besides that, at this moment the top three teams are very close in points gap, so the slightest mistake will result in their position being taken over.

[Z-tight]

Yeah the top three teams are very close, from the top the points are like this: 47, 44 and 42, it is very close and i like it in that way, it is better than for psg to be 15 points ahead at this stage, with the way everything is so close psg would have to focus on the Ligue 1 and be very careful, when a league is more competitive it makes people's interest in it to grow.

Franck Haise is doing very well with Lens, and i want them to win the league, but even if they don't and psg do, i would like for Lens to finish second and qualify for the champions league, it will be a successful time for them.

It is a bit about winning, not just conceding, if you have a great defense but not so great offense than you will concede very little, but you will not be able to score a lot and that will make sure you stay lower. Lille and Monaco may have conceded more but they have managed to score a lot more as well and that is why they are higher.

Right now, it's all about how PSG will move forward, they have a team that is x10 better than their closest rivals in the league, but they are not playing that great for a while now, they have managed to win enough to be the leaders, but the momentum is not on their side since return, I can't say what's going to happen but I am sure it's not going to be easy.

PSG have lost 8 of the 57 points up for grabs in the 19 match so far. What's worse is that they lost 6 points from their last 3 matches against Lens and Rennes. Meanwhile, PSG is still 3 points ahead of its competitors in 2nd place and 4 points from Marseille in 3rd place. It is clear that PSG needs high enthusiasm to return to its best form, otherwise Lens will soon kick them out of first place.

Next week, PSG will play vs Reims. I think PSG will win it easily because Reims doesn't seem to be strong team this season. Even so, I don't think anyone can underestimate Reims who are currently 11th in the Ligue 1 standings.

First of all, I do not think that PSG is going to lose the next match. It will actually be something interesting to see PSG lose consistently. But I highly doubt that is going to happen. And another thing is at the same time it is going to be hard for Lens to be consistent enough and give PSG a hard fight throughout the season. Because they simply do not have the squad that PSG has right now. I am not saying that Lens are a bad team. But if we compare the strength of both teams we have to say that PSG is going to be the stronger team.

[KTChampions]

I would say Lens is the underdog team. Not many people are interested in discussing Lens. PSG are always on top of the headlines. And everyone is comfortable discussing the PSG team. Because this squad has a lot of star players. But Lens has been playing well this season. And I wouldn't be surprised if they beat PSG to win the title. Lens is now only 3 points behind PSG. If PSG drop points in any of their next matches, they will lose top spot very quickly. And so if they want to be at the top of the table and want to be champions, PSG team will have to play well and win all the upcoming matches.

I think you should take a look at the quotes that bookmakers give for teams contenders for victory in League 1. Let's take the first five:

Paris Saint Germain 1.03

Lance 21.00

Olympique Marseille 26.00

Rennes 81.00

Monaco 101.00

Obviously there is PSG and everyone else. If you have even the slightest idea that PSG may not become French champions, then you should definitely bet on Lens - x21 is a serious win even if you bet beer money.

[herurist]

The results will be very good if Lens can capitalize on their advantage. They are closer to the leaders of the Paris Saint Germain standings now, even that is only 3 points away. Troyes is not a team that can be said to be strong, so there should be no reason for Lens not to win in this match. They don't need to score a lot, what they do is get 3 points from every game, regardless of the score. Because what is more important now is to maintain the point margin they have created so far this week.

Indirectly, at this time they are also in quite a difficult condition because the one mistake they made is clear that their position in the standings is at stake, especially since Marseille is currently in very good condition.
Even though there is indeed competition between them and PSG now, there are still many doubts for them at this time.
The match against Troyes actually has quite a big chance, but will they be able to? Seeing from the previous game against Auxerre, they are still in a lot of trouble even though they have played against 10 players.
