French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[W Jr.]

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.

21 is a really high value. If there is a surprise, a good income can be obtained from the French league. A $100 probability bet can be made. Let's say Lens wins a championship, $2100 would be pretty good money. I might consider betting on this.  Lens with an attractive rate.

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.

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.

The two top scorers in this league are PSG and Monaco. But if we look at the table, we will say that there is quite a big gap between these two teams. That's because PSG has the capability of defending very well. But on the other hand, Monaco is not as good as PSG when it comes to defending. So we cannot judge the performance of a team based on how many goals they have scored or how many goals they have conceded if we look at the statistics differently. In the end, you do not need a lot of goals to win a match. After all, you have to score only one goal more than your opponent to win.

Lyon is not performing well right now. They are in the 9th position on the table. And they only have one win in the last 5 matches. That is certainly not good enough for them. They will have to improve on the defensive side of things.

[Masplanc]

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.

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.

Lens is doing great this season by having more points ant to be in the second position but I don't see how lens will be on top of the league  when their is PSG.  PSG has always been known for leading the French league , I don't see lens having it.

[Docnaster]

I'm really happy to see the French league 1 in such a competitive state. The point closeness between the top 4 and other positions in the standing is quite impressive compared to other seasons where every other club below PSG has very little hope for the title. I'm more surprised about RC Lenz, 15 games unbeaten run has given them 44 points so far, and that's good enough to catch PSG off-guard in a slide chance. Let's see if PSG will survive the pressure on the league surface this season.

[skarais]

PSG have a match against Pay De Cassel today for the Coupe de France. It was an easy match for PSG, who had played Neymar and Mbappe from the start.
Mbappe has scored 4 goals so far, and the other 2 goals were scored by Neymar and Soller. Winning 0-6 over the opposing team will make PSG reach the round of 16.

Perhaps it would be good to wish these players some motivation and a good mood ahead of the match against Reims next week. PSG are required to get into their best form again after suffering 2 defeats in their last 3 matches. Now they are only 3 points ahead of Lens, and that is really not a good thing.

When I see odds like this I know how hard it is for Lens or Marseille to win Ligue 1 and beat PSG in their race, I think any bet on teams other than PSG to win Ligue 1 this year is a waste of money.

Lens is doing great this season by having more points ant to be in the second position but I don't see how lens will be on top of the league  when their is PSG.  PSG has always been known for leading the French league , I don't see lens having it.

This season Lens is still a temporary complement to second place and if Lens can continue to be able to stay in that position until the end of the season, then that will also be much better for him because next season he can immediately be in another competition such as the Champions League. As for PSG, it cannot be denied anymore because it has dominated the French Ligue 1 for a long time.

Well mbappe has conquered france domestic tournament.

With 5 goals he scored in a 0-7 final score , marking his 191 goal record at psg ... 9 goals away to become the all time top goalscorer .. with his age at 24 y.o it's indeed extraordinary achievement. 240 games 191 goals for psg , his stats shows he is the future goat.

The goal difference is 62-31 in favour of Stade Rennes. Rennes enters this match having won 3 matches of their last five games, Rennes is most likely the winner of this match.

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.

TBH, those great players were useless if PSG will not able to win the game. You're overreacteing those players. The season is still a long way to go and some competitors like Marseille and Lens have small gaps the PSG. I hope that PSG will be facing another loss and then Lens can have same points as PSG. I think that the result between lens and brest has proven that PSG was getting the pressure right now. Its competitors become even closer from any week. I wanna see french league will be winning by lens or Marseille.
A bit bored to see that if french league always dominated by PSG.

PSG's next match will face Reims, the quality is slightly different from Rennes. I don't know what's wrong with PSG, their performance looks unstable. now the points difference is getting closer. and this is an opportunity for Lens to continue to stick to PSG.
maybe next week is not the right time for Lens to chase PSG. PSG has a high probability of winning against Reims. but if Lens can stay consistent with winning points, it could just make Lens reach the top faster.

Nothing wrong with PSG. Reims would not be a hard game for PSG. I pick PSG for the upcoming match in the french league. PSG won against pays de cassel with 7 goals, pays de cassel was the sixth-tier team in France. Reims didn't perform so well too,
I will go all in PSG in the upcoming match. It seems like that mbappe was coming back again after seeing the result against pays de cassel.

It seems like that pays de cassel has zero chance to win against PSG but its luck can help the team to win against PSG.

If the chance could be expressed with minus lol. Pays de Cassel lost by 7 goals vs PSG. Dunno why Galtier put some main players in the starting eleven like Mbappe and Neymar then added Hakimi. The risk of seeing these players injured in such training mode match is quite high.
Pays de Cassel entertained a bit PSG, no more since they barely annoyed them

I agree with this, i think this match will not be a problem for psg especially with the return of mbape, I believe the team will improve more and recover their real level, they will face Bayern Munchen next month and the next few matches will be a good opportunity to improve their preformence

Galtier was trying to put some respects to the pays de cassel. galtier heard what cassel wants before. Cassel would be so glad to lose against the world class players like mbappe, neymar, and messi. that has become a great achievement for pays de cassel.
We do know that pays de cassel was a low tier club in the french. it's an honor for cassel to lose against a team with so many world class players. Galtier respects its opponent by played world-class trio in that match.

But if we compare the strength of both teams we have to say that PSG is going to be the stronger team.

PSG has a good team and a history of league titles, but sports upsets may happen. Lens may play well, so don't underestimate them. In forthcoming games, it will be intriguing to compare the teams. It's also important to note that a team's success depends on both the players and the coach's tactics. PSG may struggle with Lens's unusual style. Player health, availability, and form may decide the game. It's fascinating to watch a professional squad execute under pressure. Because the outcome is uncertain, supporters can just relax and enjoy the game

[OcTradism]

It is true that PSG has a good team and a history of league victory, but it is crucial to remember that anything can happen in sports. Lens should not be underestimated since they have shown the capacity to play effectively and cause surprising upsets. In the future games, it will be intriguing to observe how the teams measure up against one another.

They have built up their domination history in Ligue 1 and they are doing it better than Lyon in the past. I said they're doing it better because with their abundant finance resource, they will not sell their star players to improve their treasury and won't easily lose their competitiveness like Lyon.

I don't exclude future when PSG will no longer get owner from Quatar and their finance will no longer be good like now. If bad things won't happen financially, PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 many more years. They can lose the title in one season but if we look at Ligue 1 in 5 years, 10 years or 20 years, they're actually winner and dominator.

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.

Goal difference is important because PSG have so powerful attacking and if they won't end this season with less total points than Lens or any club, it is very difficult for other clubs to compare with them about goal difference to be a winner of Ligue 1.

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.

PSG are familiar with a first position but other clubs are not. So if they take over a first position from PSG, it's very likely that they will lose it shortly after a few match days to PSG. Because they can not maintain their good performance with pressure from top position and from PSG.

Yes, it was an easy match for PSG and beautiful 5 goals from Mbappe, but I don’t quite understand why Galtier puts the main team against such a weak team? I can understand this if only his players are in need of a boost in confidence, but they seem to be fine as it is. Well, maybe it's all for the sake of playing practice, although with such an opponent it looks like a regular training session for PSG.

Actually, PSG doesn't need to use some of their core players in this match, as you said, the possibility of injury-prone is very large in a match like this and it doesn't rule out the possibility of players getting injured. But fortunately the PSG players after the game finished nothing happened. They must remember that the competition in Ligue 1 this season is very fierce, several teams are starting to wake up and have a small point gap, so Galtier must reconsider it in the next match if they want to use their core players.

Those goals were scored by Mbappe against a relegated team from division 5 to division 6. Is it really worth getting excited about? The only surprises were that the main team played against such a weak opponent and that the score was 7-0. It is rare for teams to play their best players against low-level competition. It is usually their C team that fills up. In the game, the team faced a team from the sixth tier. It would really help PSG if they could improve or grow the chemistry between their players, which would help them perform better in the future.

I don't know what happen with PSG manager after announcing starting eleven with many main players, there are have Mbappe, Neymar and Sergio Ramos although several of them change later. Several main player are in the name list when PSG have friendly match with Riyadh XI last several days. I don't think with team under level PSG have use their several main players.

Actually PSG have bad performance on Ligue 1 after defeating by  Rennes and few days later they have prepare for up coming next match against Reims. Got lucky with all main player PSG not get injured and all them already for next match and PSG keep behind few points left from Lens on current Ligue 1 standing position.

I still feel confident PSG will remain champions this season. Although several times they lost because some of their best players were injured or have not joined. They are still quite strong in Ligue1 the rest of the game is also still quite a lot. So there is no need to worry, at this time the difference in points is still enough to make PSG feel comfortable.
Then regarding the match in Arabia, it was a profit and money decision only. I think it just solidifies PSG's schedule. They have no profit other than money. Because the match was run in the middle of the ongoing competition.
