French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[JeffBrad12]

Yes what PSG is missing is a fast and smart striker on the side, it is not complete without him. But the next match in the League I think maybe PSG are still capable of at least a draw, but the UCL is more important for them. If Mbappe still can't play I will be very worried that PSG missed a lot of good opportunity against Bayern, although Bayern is also not very good at the moment in the bundesliga but their defense is very strong.

PSG will face a strong rival in french league. For people who were always watching bundesliga might have known about how strong monaco compared with PSG. PSG may be so difficult to make even a single goal against monaco.

PSG is playing without mbappe like knight that loses its sword. Neymar and messi were not answer for the attacking line of PSG. It can be known from result against marseille.

PSG needs a player like mbappe but since mbappe got injury and yeah it will be a disaster for PSG even though PSG still has messi and neymar. The PSG defenders are also having so many loopholes and sometimes they make blunders for the club.

Le parisiens always had very difficulty when only played with messi and neymar.

The importance of Monaco vs PSG is huge this week. With a match like this, the other teams in the championship race will not want to lose points. Especially marseille and lens will play this week and it's in their best interest to avoid losing points. Marseille will play away against Clermont. It is not an easy game for them but they have to win. Lens also have a difficult job. The team that will face Lyon away has to get out of this away without losing points.

That's a really important match. As monaco can be considered as a weak team. This club is almost equal to PSG. Monaco is as strong as PSG. Monaco is also having the same head to head against PSG too.

Monaco won 7 matches as well as PSG, Draw happened 9 times for Monaco vs PSG. This is a very difficult match for PSG for sure. Im not sure PSG will be winning the game to play without mbappe.

Marseille shall not lose more points against clermont. Clermont is actually a weak team but the problem is marseille was losing in the last match against Nice.

I am sometimes surprised when I watch PSG play. Because despite having so many good players in their team, I don't see any unity in the team. What a messy PSG team. So far I have not noticed any spectacular performances from Messi-Neymar Mbappe.

PSG's midfielder needs some changes. Because I think the most important position in every match is the midfielder. PSG's midfielders are failing to support the attacking players well. Also, the PSG team has great defensive problems.

[emrecemsan]

I don't think PSG's loss against Marseille in the Coupe de France was unexpected. I indicated it before the match started as well. Marseille really had an opportunity ahead to eliminate the toughest rival in the tournament and they took it. I really appreciated Marseille's solid effort in that match and I believe it was a well-deserved win. Neymar - Messi duo couldn't play exactly in the way they wanted. If this duo were more productive then maybe the result would have been different.

Now we see there is a Monaco v PSG match in the league this time. The winning odds are nearly the same - 2.68 to 2.64. I even see Monaco being favourite by a slight margin on some websites. The odds made me a little surprised though so I'll go on with both teams to score instead.

The balance of the PSG team is a bit off. I think PSG has created problems with too many stars on the team. PSG is failing to produce good results in important matches. It is not possible to achieve anything good for the team in this way.

  No doubt, there are many stars in PSG but expectations would have been met completely if those stars were in all arms of the team. But PSG doesn't have enough creativity in midfield and defense as it is in the forward line hence, there will be a deficiency. Nothing is strange in football, days like this do come in every season so PSG's case is not different.  Even at that they still top their closest contenders with 8 points which is more than two match losses. I don't see the match between PSG and Monaco to be as tough as it seems cuz I know this time it's a win for PSG and the title is theirs.

This trio owned by PSG is indeed very complete when playing together, so that it gave birth to a lot of creativity from Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, on the 22nd Metcday they lost to Marseille and Mbappe did not play in that match, fortunately they had Gianluigi Donnarumma who played quite well, thus making six saves. Otherwise, PSG will definitely accept a more than 2-1 defeat to Marseille. The next match will be away at Monaco headquarters and it will be a difficult game without Mbappe for PSG.

It seems that for the Champions League Mbappe can play, because the medical team predicts that they will only suffer minor injuries, so they are not too worried about this match. It's precisely what worries me against Monaco, because if PSG lose on points they will be even closer to Marseille, although the standings are still not threatened for that game.

Next match of PSG will be against Monaco which is not that important for them and they may not play with usual and important players or at least not the whole match, Even that PSG has better results playing on exterior than home i wouldn’t be surprised losing next match as well.
They will focus on UCL with all the bad news they got lately but nothing is certain till now Messi also got an injury beside Mbappé who is less likely to participate. That why the odds are in Bayern favor

[hahay]

Nice will play at home against a promoted team currently in the relegation zone AC Ajaccio, although Nice is not too easy to win when Nice is playing at home. But for now, I personally fully trust Nice to be able to beat AC Ajaccio.

Also, even if Nice gets a win in this match it won't make Nice into the top five but at least, Nice can strengthen its position in the top ten. Also, with the current odds for Nice at around @1.57, then I think those are also good odds for the predicted team to win.

Their difference is very significant, just look at the statistics for their last 5 matches, Nice won 4 times, while Ajaccio lost 4 times, that's really a very visible difference. Even though Nice's likely win won't get them into the top 5, it will nevertheless be crucial to keeping their hopes on track for that spot. I have no doubts Nice can win this week.

[minime0105]

Match between Monaco and psg, despite the good record that PSG have over monaco we won't also dispute the fact that recently Monaco has been in their peak, in this game between this two rivals more goals is much expect with both team to score, we all know that several meetings between the two has produced goals and psg being victorious but this time the outcome is not really known hence Monaco is playing host anything is possible here considering the home team recent form.

That wasn’t my expectations at all since PSG has Messi and Neymar i thought they will do just as great with or without the presence of Mbappé but i was wrong after the match against Olympique Marseille i have seen what PSG is missing! A fast and smart attacker to find solutions from the left side. Neymar wasn’t enough for that mission and Messi was covered well by OM defense which was so enough to take them off from Coupe de France.
The coming matches for PSG they should look for a solution and i don’t know if Mbappé will come back for Champions League against Bayern Munich or it going to be so hard for them

If Mbappe still can't play I will be very worried that PSG missed a lot of good opportunity against Bayern, although Bayern is also not very good at the moment in the bundesliga but their defense is very strong.

For Ligue 1, in this case I don't think it will make it serious because the quality of the other players is actually still able to maintain points there.
But of course the UCL is something different because indeed with their current condition it is clear that the hopes are getting smaller regardless of anything they are not the favorites when there are Messi and Mbappe and now they are not there and will not play it is clear that Bayern are the favorites.

Paris Saint-Germain still looks consistent in keeping a safe distance from its rivals in the French 1st League, there is an 8 point difference from Marseille in second place
PSG's important remaining match at the moment is the Champions League, and it hasn't start
So which important match failed to come to good result for Paris Saint-Germain?

[LGD2Business]

Monaco - PSG match to be played tomorrow will be one of the important matches in the league. PSG lost morale by losing in their last cup match. On weekdays, they will play a Champions League match with Bayern München. The fact that the league match to be played between these two matches is one of the strongest teams in the league like Monaco creates a difficult fixture for them. If Monaco wins this game, other teams will be hopeful. PSG is in a comfortable position 8 points ahead of its closest rival, but if the point gap drops to 5, a little more excitement will come to the league. I think the players of both teams know the importance of this match. I expect it to be a very competitive match. I'm not making a side bet on this game.

[Queentoshi]

Nice will play at home against a promoted team currently in the relegation zone AC Ajaccio, although Nice is not too easy to win when Nice is playing at home. But for now, I personally fully trust Nice to be able to beat AC Ajaccio.

Nice should be winning this game with a goal average of two, they are the better side, winning the game is what they should be looking out for even if is not going to take them into the top four or five, but I think is a step at a time, if they really want to be in that top four or five and they should take every opportunity they see and this game tonight is an opportunity for them to collect three points and to move further, looking at the their past meeting Nice has won more, Ajaccio have only won two them  twice. Is a straight win for Nice.

Yes, it's quite strange to see such odds of PSG against the 4th team of France. Even with injuries to Mbappe and Messi, PSG should be the clear favorite. It may be assumed that PSG will put up a reserve squad for this game in general, as it will save energy before the game with Bayern. It is quite logical since nothing threatens the position of PSG in the championship.

I think if Lionel Messi had gone to another club instead of PSG, his football career would have gone much further by now. Because I think Lionel Messi could never show his best in PSG. Lionel Messi leaving PSG and joining other clubs is really the demand of time.

[Pulsar77]

Marseille might have their second chance to close the point gap with PSG again this week. Because while they are playing against Clermont, PSG are going to be playing a tough away match against Monaco. Monaco have been one of the problem teams for PSG for a long time. Especially the matches in Monaco have been even more difficult. It isn't all about the strength difference between these teams in the end. We saw how PSG lost to Lens and Rennes both in away matches recently.

Monaco also have the capacity to defeat PSG now. Their being in good shape would also help them become a big trouble for PSG. In Mbappe's absence PSG will be a little weaker. Maybe I might bet on Monaco and see how things go.

Another win today for nice team it was expected since their opponent ajaccio is struggling at the bottom of the table they are in the relegation zone,  there is no surprise they occupy the 18th position cinsidering how weak their offense is, they had a decent performance today and yet were unable to score a single goal which is why they will likely be relegated if they continue with this poor offensive performance.

[fadhilz123]

Their difference is very significant, just look at the statistics for their last 5 matches, Nice won 4 times, while Ajaccio lost 4 times, that's really a very visible difference. Even though Nice's likely win won't get them into the top 5, it will nevertheless be crucial to keeping their hopes on track for that spot. I have no doubts Nice can win this week.

Look at the results of today's matches that have been completed. It looked very easy for the Nice team to face Ajaccio at home where Ajaccio, who was unable to score a goal, had to accept defeat by Nice with a score of 3 - 0 and this made Nice develop mentally and will continue to be motivated to win in the following matches. Besides that, Ajaccio is also not a very strong team this season so the team is still in the relegation zone to this day.

Ajaccio is losing 2 out of 3 games played so I wouldn't expect much from them either.
Nice won for the 4th time in a row which was good for them but they are still missing many points to catch an European competition spot.
Monaco - PSG is the most interesting match this round and interestingly both teams have the same odds if not slightly higher for Monaco. I wonder know if Monaco is able to beat PSG?
