French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[zuzie]

I don't think that Rennes can be beaten by Lorient with a score of 2-1. In the first half Lorient had taken the lead through goals from Talbi and Le Bris and in the second half Rennes had replied through Flavien Tait's goal in the 73rd minute, but until the final minute Rennes failed to equalize and made them have to accept this defeat. This should be an opportunity for Rennes to shift Monaco from the top 4, especially now that Lorient is below Rennes in the standings making the next match even more exciting.

After the defeat Rennes yesterday, today Lens, who met Troyes, also fell behind. Lens trailed 0-1 until the 75th minute

Marseille has the chance to get rid of Lens from second place in the standings if they fail to win today's match

Competition in the French Ligue 1 is getting tighter, PSG still leads the standings without any chance for other teams to get rid of PSG from the top

Troyes vs Lens can be one of the most interesting matches I have seen lately. Because Lens are highly dominating the match now. It has been the same in both halves but still there is no goal from their side. On the other hand Troyes are still in the lead by 1-0 while we are in the last ten-minute period of the match. They have had only a few goal attempts one of which was on target only. This will be their luckiest win if they make it to the victory by keeping the score to the end.

Lens are trying their best and I can't say this is a bad performance actually. The only bad thing in this match is their finishing skills. If this match ends up like that then I think this will be the week Marseille get past them in the standings.

Lorient was able to win home 2-1 vs Rennes. This is their first victory in a home match since 3 months tho. For Rennes, they are just winning once and losing once
Marseille - Monaco and Nice - Lille will be heated games tho, even the odds there are interesting comparing to the risk!

Marseille have an incredible performance. They have won their last six matches. Alexis Sanchez, Matteo Guendouzi and Cengiz Ünder are the important weapons of the team. Actually, they started the season well, but then they paused for a period and lost points. Fortunately, they managed to maintain a stable appearance again. Monaco are also undefeated in their last four games. They are in the fourth place in the league. They have a good performance too. From this point of view, we can say that we will watch the match between two good teams, but I think Marseille have the potential to win this match because they have a much more stable performance.

[hahay]

I think even though Lens is playing away maybe they can still win easily in today's match against Troyes, but the final result of this match is a draw with a score of 1-1. In fact, Lens almost lost because a goal for Lens also just came in the 88th minute, and it was quite close to the end of the match.

Even if I consider from their head to head records at least Lens can dominate the victory, so if I associate it with Lens' good trend this season, it is very possible for Lens to be able to beat Troyes who are in the middle of the standings. But yes, the head to head record once again still cannot fully guarantee, because their situation and conditions will of course always change which makes Lens unable to maintain its good trend of winning.

Marseille have opportunity back to 2nd standing position after Lens failed get maximum points have draw against Troyes 1-1 last night, AS Monaco opponent is not easy for Marseille but have consistency performance on won last six matches I sure with Marseille will get three points on home match against AS Monaco.

AS Monaco performance not really bad, have won 3 of 4 last matches in Ligue 1 and get one draw against Lorient its seems not easy for Marseille although as home match for beating AS Monaco. Current standing, AS Monaco want to make points close with Marseille after remaining 5 points left, but Marseille have chance make close points with Lens on 2nd standing position right now.

Lens, despite a very large advantage throughout the match, only thanks to the goal scored in the last minutes managed to save the draw in the match against Troyes. The loss of points by the runners-up certainly makes Olympique Marseille and Monaco happy, as they will soon face each other on the pitch. It promises to be a very interesting and even match. However, I give the hosts more chances because of the home-field advantage.

Lens after everything drew with Troyes, Lens were lucky to have equalised in the 88 minute else it would have ended in a big loss. Lens are getting more draws lately which is not good for the club because Marsielle is gathering so much energy to replace Lens if they keep getting this record

[Falconer]

Congrats on winning your bet, mate, I had bad luck in the Lorient Vs Rennes match, instead of choosing GG, I'm more interested in choosing win for Rennes. I didn't do what I said in the score prediction, maybe this will be a lesson for me to remain consistent only in the initial choice so that I will avoid regrets. About the match, I didn't expect Lorient to win, even though Rennes dominated more, even Lorient's shots on goal were 4, meaning that they really took advantage of the opportunities they had.

Vito Mannone made 5 brilliant saves on that match, so that his team was really able to maintain the victory until the end of the match. Vito Mannone saved 5 of the 6 attempts Rennes scored, that was incredible and that was the performance to be expected.

Then in the other match, Lens failed to win another important match today and almost lost if substitute Adrien Thomasson did not score before the end of the match. Lens should have won the match if they wanted to be top of the table, but they had to fail because of maybe overconfidence. It is clear that PSG are favorite now if they win the match against Reims tomorrow. PSG are the favourites, but Lens' efforts in the title race this season have looked inconsistent.

[Ratash]

Troyes team caused a lot of trouble for lens today and they almost beat them if it wasn't for thomasson late goal, lens team was better all game long but troyes players managed to score at a crucial moment just after the second half start, this result is bad for lens since marseille can catch up to them if they manage to win today.

[Oluwa-btc]

Apparently Lens will got easy match today against Troyes that they are clearly the favourite this because Lens records from Troyes was very impressive even when these teams still playing at Ligue 2 Lens is too strong for Troyes and since beat PSG few weeks ago Lens still unbeatable until today

And their opponent Troyes had a problem with their defensive lines and conceded 11 goals from 5 matches proven Troyes cannot managed their defense and i am sure Lens realized this records and attempts to gets early goals especially their player Lois Openda was on fire with 9 goals during this season and i am sure Lens will home with 3 points from this match

Lens has bigger chance to win against troyes. Lens's odd looks good enough at this moment. 1.58 seems worthy with a result from the match that can be predicted easily. Lens was always dominating the match against troyes. Lens itself is still very consistent at this moment by continuing its undefeated record after lens was beating PSG. Draw was not a big problem for lens as long as lens will still earn points. The problem is coming for troyes as it will be facing a team that was always defeating it. this just like a big challenge for troyes to face lens.
I think that lens potentially dominating the match. Lens can win against PSG and I think troyes will become easy opponent for lens. The result from match is so easy to predict.

They should have done better to win the game, so much paranoid at lens for drawing the game, yes I backed them to with either winning or going back with a single point from this fixture.
The sad thing is that If PSG happens to miss out on the three points tommorow and lens had won too, they would have had the chance to narrow the gap from four points to a single point. They doing wonderful regardless, after so many years of absence from European games.

Lens are the best team in League One. They are advancing day by day. They are struggling with teams like PSG. Defeating other teams. The Lens will become a much better team.

It's not like that, I mean Lens could beat PSG but could lose to another team, that's how football is. But the reality is that we are not going to end up seeing anything special at all, in football you could beat the best team and end up losing to the worst team, it happens. I am not saying Lens will lose against anyone, I do not have a magic ball that says who Lens will win against and who they will draw and who they will lose to.

I have none of that information and wager just based on what I can guess. But, the end result is that we are going to see PSG be great too, and both teams will have a great competition this year, and that's good for us viewers of the league.

Lenz's draw against Troyes is something I couldn't imagine. Even after including them in my ticket, I went ahead to watch the full-time play. Troyes in their home were forced by Lenz to be completely defensive but yet struggled to end it with a draw. With complete dominance in both halves of the match, Lenz couldn't score more than a goal, but with just two on-target shorts, Troyes got a goal. I quest Lenz will have to do something about their attacking line for scoring 1 out of 16 shorts.

[Velvet78]

Lens got a really unfortunate draw against Troyes. Because they controlled the game completely but still this wasn't enough to win the game. Even their equalizer came quite late in the game and they could have even lost the game. Lens made really simple point losses like this and they are just giving away their title run so easy.

They must still be thankful for Marseille not winning against Monaco. They could have won actually despite Monaco's getting ahead first. The second half was under the domination of Marseille. But it was only enough for an equalizer in the first minutes of the half. The 2-point gap is maintained between Lens and Marseille as a result.

i think the chances of Lens winning Ligue 1 are very slim, they are currently in a fight with Marseille and probably Monaco for the CL qualification ticket, nothing changed between them in this round since the three of them drew, there is still more rounds and fittest by the end is going to take the 2nd place.

Lens and Marseille lost both 2 points this round giving the chance to PSG to get a 5 points gap once they win against Reims.
For Marseille, ok their opponent Monaco is hard but how Lens got only a draw vs Troyes...

To me, any efforts Lens is making now is geared towards ending as second in the table. Marseille is also in the race to end second position.
As long as psg is still available with those great players, any club ready to wrestle powers with them  must be able to make great signings atleast to 60% of what psg has. It is money that wins the league and nothing else.

[Docnaster]

After Lenz recorded a dominating win against PSG I was seeing the fixtures against Troyes to be a must-win match for them. Seeing just 2 points difference in the standing, and their loss against Stade Rennes was enough to say that Lenz will catch them off-guard. Even at a very good proximity to PSG who seems to be the League leaders at the moment, it is still a crying shame for Lenz to have a draw against Troyes. They just lose their opportunity of leading the French title race.

[rendravolt]

The big match in Ligue 1 between Marseille vs Monaco ended in a 1-1 draw which made the competition for the teams in the top 4 of the standings heat up. As hosts, Marseille failed to secure 3 points and had to settle for sharing 1 point with the opponent Monaco. Even so, actually Marseille could have won this match if only in the first half Jordan Veretout did not make the mistake of anticipating the direction of his header which resulted in the ball going into his own net. With this result Monaco has a 2-point difference from Marseille and in the next match it will be even more exciting for the two teams to maintain the standings.

Lens got disappointed result against monaco. I meant let's see the match between lens and troyes. Lens has very big ball possessions while troyes got small ball possessions. Lens got so many chances while troyes get only shot on goal.
I think that lens is so bad in executing the chance to be a goal. It can be seen from the performance against troyes. Lens has been wasting so many chances against troyes. Troyes was going all in defense against lens.
That's very bad result for lens to lose two points against troyes which was easy opponent.
