French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

I didn't think PSG would be so under pressure against Lille, if Messi didn't succeed in scoring a beautiful goal through the free kick that was given to him then PSG would be very ashamed of the fans.
next, PSG will face Marseille and I don't see that it is a match that PSG will go through easily. marseille is a team that often gives unexpected surprises and it looks like they will show that in the match against PSG later.

As far as I am concerned, Lille could not pose any problems for PSG at all, at least when PSG is on a good day, a team such as Lille cannot pose any problem to them, and they got 3 points from the game to stabilize their position at the top of the league, as Marseille is in the same position as PSG but five points behind. If they win this game, they will be able to increase their points to eight points, which can be a very important game for Galtier and his players. Marseille is currently in second place in the league but is five points behind PSG, so winning this game will make it much more competitive.

Monaco's performance has been extraordinary this half of the season, they have consistently won at home or away in their last 5 matches in Ligue 1. Furthermore, this week they will face Leverkusen in the Europa League competition and Monaco will host the leg second and after that they will face Nice in Ligue 1 and will host again. These two matches will be very favorable for Monaco as they are playing at home and the stadium will surely be very full of fans.

It cannot be denied, Monaco's performance in the second half of this season was very impressive. in 11 matches in all competitions, Monaco only suffered one defeat in the Coupe de Frence, two draws and the rest with wins in ligue 1. plus, one winning match against Leverkusen.

Well, what became my concern was against Leverkusen. this match will really interest me, because both teams were able to score goals in the first Leh at Leverkusen headquarters. of course, this match will also be no less exciting than the other matches that are fighting in the Europa League playoffs. however, I doubt quite a bit if Monaco is able to consistently play with high performance. I think Leverkusen also has the same chance to win this fight. this is interesting, so let's wait for this fight to be held.

Aggregate is currently 3-2 and Monaco will play at the Louis II-Monaco-Castelans Stadium which is their home, of course this will make them more confident in this match.
Even though currently Leverkusen's performance has increased, still with the current conditions Leverkusen have the upper hand and this is something that is already a certainty that they are the favorites in this match.

Usually you are right that OSC Lille shouldn't be a threat to a team like PSG, but in reality we have seen often times now that PSG isn't as dominant as we expect them to be. They were lucky several times now when they scored a goal in the very last minute. They won this game in the very last minute with a free kick. They lost 3:1 against Monaco. They lost 2:1 against Marseille in the Coup de France. They tied the game against Stade Reims.

The list of close games for PSG is long and with the quality they have the games shouldn't even be close. At times they have a goal festival and everybody thinks PSG is the superpower in Ligue 1, but for a weird reason they are not and their opponents know it by now.

It again starts with their list of injured players as well. Should they let Neymar play against Marseille? Probably not or otherwise they risk his health and he can't play against Bayern. I wish that Marseille beats them because it makes me mad when a team like PSG is struggling to win the national championship. It is also proof that money is not everything. It is a lot, but not everything.

This weekend we have interesting match between Marseille vs PSG and based on the odds i can see PSG has slightly the favourite than Marseille but no wonder about that because PSG has won 3 times in the last 5 matches against Marseille but several weeks ago Marseille has successfully to beat PSG at their home ground on France Cup and maybe this result makes Marseille had more motivation to beat PSG again two times in a row

Regarding team conditions i can see PSG has tight schedule because they still play on champion league against Bayern Munich i am sure PSG will give high priority for that match because champion league trophy is their main target for each season and i will assume PSG will do some rotations for the match against Marseille and if it's true i think there is a chance for Marseille to win this game

[swogerino]

For Monaco the real test will be the Europa League because I highly doubt Nice would cause them a big trouble seeing their super recent form going from win to win.

Marseille is another team who are keeping up very well for the title fight against Paris and they are just 5 points ahead.Paris has a really strong test if not the most difficult of all season when they will be going next week to play in Munchen against Bayern,this trip most likely will end up badly for them but since they have super star players I say hope dies last here.The title of the Ligue 1 though will be disputed between Paris,Marseille and Monaco as I don't see any other team at the moment to be able to fight for the title.

Regarding Monaco, they couldn't perform well enough in the first half of this season and that's why they are in the third place, otherwise and if they were able to play like this months ago, they could but on the top of the table, especially because this season they need only 7 points to reach PSG this season however if they continue winning the games like this they can even take PSG or Marseille place easily in the future.

After nearly settling for a draw with LOSC, I am beginning to doubt the abilities of PSG. LOSC is a good team but it is not on the same level as the Champions League opponents of PSG. PSG will have a slight advantage over Marseille but not be shocking in the event of a draw or another Marseille repeat. The last chance PSG has in the Champions League is the focus right now. Even having injured players of its own, Bayern Munich prevailed at Parc des Princes. In their second leg at Allianz Arena, Sadio Mane might make a comeback this time.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.  

Well this is something that we are all looking forward to, I don't know if PSG will wake up, Monaco is a team that can give PSG the war, of course PSG has Messi and Neymar will probably play, now if these two come in and if Mbappé enters or recovers by chance, things can change a lot, some PSG fans say that PSG lost against Marseille because Mbappé was not there, well I don't know, I wouldn't be so sure, I do know that Mbappé gives the team a different atmosphere when he plays, but as long as Mbappé continues to play on his side and Ney+Messi on the other is very difficult, this has been the Achilles heel for PSG for me.

Something that I don't see as viable and that would be a hard blow for PSG.

Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona very difficult but not impossible – Romero

Lionel Messi has continued to be a hot topic in Barcelona even 18 months after his departure from Camp Nou. He has been subjected to a return to Catalonia in the coming summer, and the speculations have been exacerbated following the attacker’s supposed visit to Barcelona recently.

It was widely believed that the Argentine wanted to continue at Paris Saint-Germain, especially after an excellent start to the season. But it appears he is having a change of heart recently, and with PSG recently losing to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, he might seriously consider a move elsewhere.

Although PSG are not out of the competition just yet, it is certain that Messi may rethink his future if the French giants get eliminated by Bayern in the Round of 16 stage.

To that end, Gerard Romero has offered an update on Messi’s situation, suggesting that the Argentine’s return to Barcelona is considered a very difficult proposition, but it is not an impossible task, as far as the Catalans are concerned.

Monaco team is the most impressive team in the second half of the season, their performance has improved greatly and with it their results not only in the ligue 1 but in the europa league as well, currently they are on the second position and marseille team is only two points away, next they will face nice it will be a tough game.

Monaco's performance has been extraordinary this half of the season, they have consistently won at home or away in their last 5 matches in Ligue 1. Furthermore, this week they will face Leverkusen in the Europa League competition and Monaco will host the leg second and after that they will face Nice in Ligue 1 and will host again. These two matches will be very favorable for Monaco as they are playing at home and the stadium will surely be very full of fans.

Monaco is surprisingly pulling up big expectations from people in league one.
Normally I do not praise all these clubs when they do well in league one the only time I will praise them if they can beat PSG to be at the top of the table at the end of the season that is when I will wholeheartedly praise a particular club but that being said there is just seven points between the title leaders and Monaco and if they are serious about it they could cover up some of these gaps since PSG is already in trouble with Bayern Munich in Champions League, their attention is rightly divided

Indeed, the seven-point distance from PSG can be overtaken for Monaco, considering that they greatly benefit because PSG are busy beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League. In fact, not only that, Monaco will also benefit from another PSG match this week where PSG will face Marseille and of course PSG will once again be exhausted to think about finding a way to win this match. If PSG lose to Marseille, of course Monaco's chances will be even wider and of course Monaco wants this to happen.

@bering PSG seems to have lost their way in recent matches, and if they don’t sort their issues out quickly then they’ll end up losing this fixture too and it’s high time that they start winning again. Lastly I expect them to rebound in this fixture, but if they yet fail then PSG board will probably sound out Tuchel to come back and become their new head coach.

I'm not sure, because Nice is currently in good form, they are unbeaten in their last seven matches in Ligue 1. Unlike Monaco, before the match against Nice. Monaco will play against Leverkusen at Stade Luis II, their own headquarters.This match will be quite tough, because Leverkusen will play all out to win the match over Monaco. which in the end, the Monaco players could have experienced fatigue when they played against Nice.

On the other hand, Marseille has a great chance to overthrow PSG at their own turf. especially if PSG are not strengthened by one of their star players, Neymar who has been hit by an injury. Marseille must take advantage of this momentum, to reduce the difference in points from PSG.

As for PSG, as you said. currently the Galtier troop squad is in an unpleasant situation. they have a tough match, apart from against Marseille, Galtier must prepare his team for the match against Baryern Munich in the second leg later. even so, if only for the Ligue 1 trophy, I still believe PSG's dominance will be difficult to break.

Anyway, this match will be an important match for both teams, because if one of them loses then it will be a big loss. Because if Marseille can beat PSG then their point gap will be even closer, this will certainly make PSG's situation even more depressed.

But if PSG win, then of course it will make the road to the title safer for PSG. But because at this moment PSG's key players are not fully fit, I doubt PSG can beat Marseille. So the end result is a draw or Marseille wins, I think the final result might happen because PSG's situation and conditions are not entirely good.

I'm not too worried about PSG's chances in Ligue 1, they can even lead the standings even if they lose away to the Stade Vélodrome.
PSG are the absolute favorites for the title every season, so why should we doubt them more as long as they lead the table? It's clear to me it's not important, and against Marseille is another chance to secure the title for PSG.

One of Marseille, Monaco and Lens will probably end the season in second place this season. They will do their best to try to qualify for the Champions League next season, and they will be in fierce competition for that. If Marseille loses to PSG, then of course Monaco's chances will be higher if they win their match against Brest.

Paris Saint Germain is the main team that is at the forefront of winning the Ligue 1 championship every season, that's because the strength they have is above the other teams that are here. One of the things that supports them in making them that way is that their financial ability is very good, so that it makes it easier for them to do things, including buying a lot of star players, without having to think twice about spending money to do that.

Up coming next match in Ligue 1 have interested match between Marseille vs PSG, current standing Marseille behind 5 points remaining from PSG and seems great chance make points close for this week if success defeat PSG. Actually PSG is not on consistency performance after losing in Champion League from Bayern Munich.

PSG have one time winning from last four match all competition between Ligue 1 and UEFA Champion League seems can't consistency performance not only in champion league but also PSG still have trouble in domestic league. I think Marseille have take this chance make points close and Ligue 1 keep compete with fewest points difference on position standing.

Marseille is very important to win this game because they currently have 52 points while PSG has 57 points, so Marseille would be able to reduce the gap to first place on the table if Marseille beat PSG this weak. Then Marseille will only need to win two games in order to reach PSG. Also, if they lose the game and Monaco takes all three points, they will lose their position in the table. However, based on the recent games we have seen from Monaco, they are easily able to climb to the second spot.

His condition might be a little different from their last meeting because at this time the PSG players were in good condition different from before.
But indeed I don't feel this will be the focus of PSG as well because they will remain focused on the Champions League so that it is possible to minimize the players even though it is still quite a long time still the same condition as the first leg will be influential so that I think as long as it hasn't happened then they will be careful.

[CLS63]

PSG are of course the favourite side however the odd gap is not too high either. Marseille are the home team which is a big factor for that. Besides Marseille have been doing a great job for many weeks as well. They have been able to maintain the five-point difference thanks to a good form. It is lovely to see this title race alive as well because we aren't used to see this often. PSG have mostly dominated the league for so many years.

You know that Marseille defeated PSG in the Coupe de France a few weeks before. It isn't impossible for them to do this again as well of course. Besides PSG have had problems against this kind of teams in away matches so far. It is better to be careful before betting on PSG I think.

[fullhdpixel]

Marseille has a great chance to overthrow PSG at their own turf. especially if PSG are not strengthened by one of their star players, Neymar who has been hit by an injury. Marseille must take advantage of this momentum, to reduce the difference in points from PSG.

As for PSG, as you said. currently the Galtier troop squad is in an unpleasant situation. they have a tough match, apart from against Marseille, Galtier must prepare his team for the match against Baryern Munich in the second leg later. even so, if only for the Ligue 1 trophy, I still believe PSG's dominance will be difficult to break.

Yes, worst part is not even over, they are going to play against Marseille next up, and that is a good team, they are not like Lille, if they hard time beating Lille and lost to Bayern, then playing Marseille will be even harder. If they play all their good players then they will tire them before the next Bayern game, and if they do not then they are going to have even hard time beating a good team.

I do not know what they will do, maybe risk it and play everyone and let them relax against Nantes? That could be a better idea to be fair, but basically this is going to be a week where we will see PSG not be 100% just yet, and could go either teams way.

Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona very difficult but not impossible – Romero

Messi isn't Neymar or Bale who seeks money rather than anything else so they will not move when they found a better opportunity with lower salary.
Messi was forced to quit Barcelona but I think he will return whenever he finds that PSG is a hopeless team, especially when it gets sacked from Champions League. Losing Ligue 1 will be a no way to stay message in his head.
