French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

~snip~

After that fixture with Nantes, the next match of PSG in the Champions League. Don't you think otherwise that they will like to reserve their good players such as messi and mbappe for the Champions League. They really have to reserve this players because Neymar Junior is already injured, and if Messi or Mbappe get injured again. It will be a difficult match for PSG to contend.
So you might not witness many goals in that match as usual.

I agree with you that it is possible for Paris Saint Germain to rest their main players so they can be fitter for their Champions League second leg clash. Don't mean to belittle Nantes, but it looks like they can beat them without some of their star players. I believe they are more focused on the Champions League matches than in Ligue 1, because their main target this season is to win the Champions League title they have wanted for a long time.

If we refer to the predicted line-up that Galtier will play in this match, Galtier will pair his two stars up front. also, applying the same 3-5-2 formation as when PSG against Marseille. if this prediction is correct, it is not a difficult problem for PSG to overthrow the opposing team in this match. because after all, PSG needs a win to widen the points distance from its competitors. but at least, one of the two PSG stars will not play full. and if PSG win easily, I'm sure Messi will be replaced by another player in the second half.

I suspect Galtier will continue to play his two stars, to maintain his fitness for the match in the Champions League later. Meanwhile, in this match PSG will not be strengthened by several of its players apart from Neymar who is still suffering from an injury. Renato Sanhes, Kimpembe and Marco Verratti are suspended for accumulation of cards. Meanwhile, this match is a tough one for Nantes. and it is not an easy matter for Antoine Kombouare's squad to counterbalance the game from the home team. so, three points in this match is a result that PSG must get.

Messi should leave PSG team. Because I personally think PSG team players are not able to support Messi well. Messi will be able to achieve much more in the rest of his career if he goes to another team.

Messi should leave PSG team. Because I personally think PSG team players are not able to support Messi well. Messi will be able to achieve much more in the rest of his career if he goes to another team.

Messi is still shining in PSG and performing well in this team with or without another player he is a superstar and these days he is performing better than before after the world cup and the result he got with Argentina while in PSG he is not the only one important player there and there are Neymar and Mbappe so if he joins another team PSG can buy another player to replace him while he maybe cannot have the same performance in another team like PSG.

PSG is a big team and they play Nantes who have not been very good this season. PSG will play Bayern Munich in a must win game on Wednesday as you said, my point is, this is the kind of match a big team like PSG should rest its big players. They should be able to rest their players and still win Nantes comfortably. Seeing that this is a problem for them (resting big players and winning Nantes comfortably) goes on to show how unprepared they are. They've got all the money in the world but don't know how to use it. How can you spend so much money on three players alone knowing fully well it will hinder you from strengthening other part of the squad. They have a very good attack but the attack is not the only position on the field. Their midfield is bang average. For a team as rich as PSG, Marco Verratti is the only world class midfielder they have and he's injury prone. PSG need to sit up and fix their squad if they really want to win the champions league they want so much.

Nantes is not a strong team to be able to steal points from Psg. In the match that will take place today, I believe that PSG will come out victorious even though several core players are absent in this match. This victory is very meaningful to raise the fighting spirit of the PSG players in the upcoming match when they meet Bayern Munich in the second leg.

For Galtier, maybe he should play a more aggressive strategy from the early minutes because if they win quickly, it is likely that a large rotation to maintain energy will be carried out in this match because the next match will be more important for PSG.

I can see PSG performance were gradually better now that from 2 recent matches PSG can able to wins all of those matches and scores 7 goals so for today match i think they shouldn't have any problem to earn 3 points from Nantes especially Nantes is not in the good conditions even in Ligue 1 Nantes only can able to wins 4 times from 14 matches
And for betting purposes the odds for PSG was @1.29 and this is indeed very low but i can used other options to gets the better odds and today i am sure PSG will be able to win with 2 goals margin or more because we all know Nantes defense were very weak and besides PSG win i think over 2.5 goals could be good picked with the odds @1.51

Even though PSG will not be strengthened by Neymar at the moment, it seems that they can continue to win consistently and I think in this match against Nantes, they (PSG) will win again. The betting options you provide are quite reasonable considering the odds for PSG's win are too low and as you said, if we bet over 2.5 goals the odds will be very promising. But I think it's better to take a bet with a handicap (-1.25) because it's certain that PSG will at least win by scoring at least 2 goals.

Lens VS Lille

I am enjoying the Lens vs Lille match now. It is difficult to say which team is favorite. The match is more likely to be a draw. The match is important for Lens as they look to finish second in the table and qualify for the Champions League. The lens could occupy second place in the table if they win this match. On the other hand, Lille is only 6 points behind Lens. If they can maintain consistency, Lille also has the ability to move up to second in the table. They will definitely keep trying.

Neither team could score in 40 minutes. Both teams made several attacks. Lens made a total of 4 shots and one of them was on target. Lille, on the other hand, managed to make only one shot so far. It seems both teams will be happy to share the points in this match.

Paris saint Germain will play against nantes tomorrow in their stadium and this is the last match before the second keg against Bayern munchen, wining this match and scoring many goals will certainly give the team so much confidence for Wednesday match, i believe psg isn't yet elimination and Wednesday match will bring some surprises to psg fans

PSG will win in their home game against Nantes this time, but I'm not sure they will win by a lot of goals. Of course Galtier has to think about the players he has to prepare for the away match at the Allianz Arena. Therefore, I predict that they will use their reserve players in the match against Nantes. choosing a handicap bet for Nantes seems like it would be a wise choice in betting on this match.

PSG is sure to win this match. Because the match will be held at PSG's own ground, I think the team will have a great advantage. However, Lionel Messi will probably not play full time in this match.

I don't doubt they can win against Nantes this weekend, but I doubt they will be able to do the same in their second leg in the Champions League against Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is ahead, and they have the same target as Paris Saint Germain, which is to win the Champions League, so I don't think Bayern Munich will waste their chance, especially since they are already ahead.

[darewaller]

If you look at Nantes' performance, they are not in good momentum after losing 1-0 to Rennes in their last game. Nantes did manage to bounce back with a win over Lens in the French Cup, but the tension in league matches is definitely different and For PSG, a win will greatly boost their mentality. PSG need good capital for their confidence, starting with the win over Nantes this weekend because PSG also needs full points to stay strong at the top of the standings.

PSG has a match tomorrow, I can't say for sure that PSG will win this match. This is because from my experience in previous games, PSG team has lost and drawn matches against some weaker teams.

Now, we have third match of round 26 which is going to play between PSG vs Nantes after few hours and things are looking tricky because PSG is having injuries issue with now they are going to play against Bayern Munich for the second leg of Champions League round 16 match which is more important for them with this all I have feeling this match can end in a draw which could be also bonus for the visitors Nantes because they are doing good in last few rounds and have chance for the few points from here as well.

Nantes which is currently in safe zone having good time with first two matches of this 26th round ended in draw and score was same, hopefully they could be also on same way for the good end of this match against leaders because they want to save their players for the big game and PSG is also having 8 points difference from second spotted Marseille as well.

Messi should leave PSG team. Because I personally think PSG team players are not able to support Messi well. Messi will be able to achieve much more in the rest of his career if he goes to another team.

we all know that messi has already won everything, he no longer needs to chase after some individual prize, but PSG has a great objective of winning the champions league, that's why PSG signed messi, and that's why i I think messi once he accepted that goal then he should stay at PSG until that goal is achieved, it doesn't make sense for him to leave a good team like PSG to retire to another team when he has already won everything individually, what would he want on another team? he no longer needs to pursue individual success, at PSG he earns a good salary, he is already rich so why would he be greedy to the point of turning his back on PSG? that would not be a smart thing to do

PSG is sure to win this match. Because the match will be held at PSG's own ground, I think the team will have a great advantage. However, Lionel Messi will probably not play full time in this match.

PSG has a very comfortable difference of points in relation to the team that is in second place, in my opinion it would be more sensible for the coach to spare Messi and Mbappe and Ramos and other important players, taking into account that PSG will have a game very important on the 8th of march against bayern, and knowing that PSG's main objective is centered on winning the champions league, i think they should spare the important players, the bayern that is playing at the moment is also sparing important players from them for champions league game


Nice 1 - 1 Auxerre

this is a result that did not surprise me, although nice have been in good shape in the last few games and have dominated possession of the ball in this game, auxerre in the last 5 games have not lost in any game, they are also in good shape, both teams came into this game with many draws, so this result is not a surprise

Lens 1 - 1 LOSC

I confess that I expected LOSC to win this game, this result is not good for LOSC because it takes away from having a place in European competitions

You are right but PSG team needs to improve their midfielders and defense. Because PSG has lost some matches very badly to small teams. PSG can achieve great things with Lionel Messi but the coach of the team is not very strategic in that regard in my opinion.

Nantes is currently a good way away from the relegation zone. At least in terms of points. They are on a losing streak. But as long as they can somehow get a win here and there, I think they will be all right.

PSG is again winning the league title for sure. They are not going to lose the title to anyone because they already have a good amount of points lead.

PSG vs Nantes is going to start an hour from now. Of course, this match is going to be won by PSG. Any other result, even a draw is going to be quite surprising.

PSG was once in a bad trend after losing three matches in a row. However, PSG was able to rise in the last two matches, PSG managed to win. PSG successfully won and scored seven goals from these two matches. This is clearly a valuable capital for PSG to face Nantes. Meanwhile, Nantes has lost in the last two matches. I think PSG will win easily in the match later, let alone playing in front of their own supporters, the victory later is also the capital before PSG faces Bayern Munchen in the UCL.

The game was interesting although I didn't watch the match to the ending but later when I came back I saw the match ended with 1-1 which was a good play for the two teams. But Lille tried more than lens today. Lens had more shorts, just that the shorts were not on target, all were off target. Lens squad lack the technic to score goal. They should not play the way they displayed today in their next matches.

Lille were clearly better team, but sadly they fail to have full three points from this match as Lens is struggling badly at the top and have chance to be eliminated from their current spot and most chances now if Monaco able to win their match against Troyes which is possible due to Troyes current form then Monaco will replace them at third spot in league table.

In today game which was mostly dominated by Lille Fonte's own goal was enough for giving one point to Lens and now Lille with their current form surely have chance to be joined at top five because now near the end of this season things are heated up, and we can expect good changes in middle of the league table for having few teams could be out of top five even they have done good work in early rounds of this season.

[Docnaster]

Every league is becoming more competitive. In the past few years a clash between Lenz and Lille used to be an easy game for Lille. now its a very difficult taxe for the both team. Lenz is currently ahead of Lille in the French standing even after a draw in their last match. am not surprised about the result today..  I knew it will be a tough game cuz both side are strong. It would have been better for Lens if they were able to end it with Jose Fonte Goal,  it was quite an interesting match.

Situation at PSG is unclear and right now no one can give perfect updates how things are going and what is future of these few stars and this club because there were rumors current owners are going to sell this club in future with if they have exit again from Champions League then most chances they will do this in near future because now they are not happy with this all current situation.

PSG management is not happy with Neymar as well, but sadly they have no luxury offer for this injury porn star which is also headache for them Messi is surely GOAT, and he can stay here for some more seasons which is also not clear, but we can expect anything like this, but this all depends on clubs status it's all showing how mess-up is around this club and this all needs to fix if they want better results in the future.

Decreasing the gap between teams can definitely a more competitive league and that's what we see on top of the table right now where Monaco and Lens and Marseille got the same situation and they can have the chance to replace their position on the table at any time which can make the league more interesting to watch Monaco was not performing well at the beginning of this season while right now if they keep showing this performance they can get a better rank in the table at any time.

This is good change happening in few leagues like Ligue 1 in France and Bundesliga in Germany because few years back these were completely bored with just one team is having huge advantage, and they are alone leading throughout season, but now all teams are having good quality and performance is also improved which is benefiting fans for having interesting game to watch and have good changes in league tables throughout season.

PSG is having perfect start of their match against Nantes as they took lead by 2 - 0 in just 20 minutes but Nantes which is also having good improvement now giving good reply as just before end of the first half score is 2 - 2 which is surely big achievement for the Nantes against team like PSG for time being.

Messi has never been a one-man man like Ronaldo and has always played a team game. That's why I don't think he's susceptible to any of the struggles for team supremacy that young players are used to. But that doesn't rule out PSG playing worse and worse with each round. Today should have been the decisive first half, but by some miracle Nantes managed to score two goals and level the score. I'm not saying PSG will lose, but it's been a recurring phenomenon for them.
