French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Altryist]

PSG has a few very good players, donnaruma, hakimi, marquinhos, kimpembe, messi, mbappe, and even neymar when he plays, but the rest could be changed if I am not missing any names, I think midfield is their biggest weakness, they do not have any star level players on midfield, and when you are playing against a team that has a midfield that played together for this many years, all you do for full game is try to get the ball from defense to offense and fail to do that most of the time.

They really need to start spending money somewhere other than mbappe, sure he is one of the best right now, but they need a better midfield and need to spend some to get that.

They have a good middle line, I think that Galtier did not prepare the team properly physically, Bayern beat them in pressure. I don’t know if it’s this strategy, but I’m sure if Guardiola was the coach of PSG, he would definitely squeeze all the strength out of the players, they would played more actively and aggressively. I already read the news today that Galtier will be fired and Tuchel may return to the team.

In the Champions League, PSG failed again this season. PSG, which is inhabited by good quality players, must admit that they are unlucky in the Champions league. Bayern Munich became a nightmare for PSG in the Champions League where Bayern was able to make Messi et al have to go home early because of defeats from the first leg and second leg. Apart from that, maybe Messi is a player who is quite disappointed with this defeat because if he succeeds, maybe this is the best season for his football career. Well, Mbappe also felt that after failing in the world cup, he also failed in the Champions League.

maybe only the ligue 1 title will be the only hope left and that is sure to come true considering psg is 8 points ahead of the 2nd placed team.

I think Messi had more successful seasons in his career (after all, club football is two heads higher than football of the national teams and taking into account the 7-match tournament as something special is not entirely correct).
As for bad luck in the Champions League, I don't agree with that - who prevented PSG from taking the first place in the group and playing against Brugge? Benfica? Well, if PSG is weaker than Benfica, then they are now where they deserve to be.

We all expect that after yesterday defeat against PSG by Bayern in the UEFA champions league in what we perceived to be elimination in that campaign. the French best will be concentrating solely in the French lig 1 yes thats true but less we forget that PSG is not a consistent team and all hope should not be that high with them involved because of their unpredictable outcomes,  this team have in it good world class players that ought to be giving the club good results but to no avail, I feel the manager should workout technicality on how to utilize his players effectively in their right wings in other to get it right.

League 1 has 12 matches remaining and PSG gap in points with Marseille quite far is 8 points. Also, with the current quality of PSG players, in my opinion they can definitely get another title this season, and they can still be to consistent in the remaining matches later. But after they failed at UCL I little worried about the emotional of PSG players, let's hope they can win against Brest next match, if not I think it will make worse their situation.

[emrecemsan]

Things are in favour of Marseille for the second spot for now at least. Like I said before their being eliminated in the French Cup was pretty unexpected. Especially being eliminated by a second league team I mean.    But now they can just at least focus on keeping their current position in the Ligue 1 to finish the season decently. They could have been in the title competition with PSG now as well but it looks like they have wasted that opportunity already.

They had this opportunity until facing PSG a short time ago. But in that match there was a bad performance by Marseille which led to a comfortable PSG win. Marseille's finishing the season at their current position would still be a success for them though. In addition, they should be able to win against Strasbourg this week.

After the disappointing performance from PSG, I guess they should focus completely on the french league and don't give even one percent chance to the other teams to take the title otherwise and if they lose their place on the table the whole team will be in trouble, but I don't think if Marseille can even take their place because comparing to PSG they don't have a strong team and they don't have enough potential for it.

The problem is that PSG works as if they were split in two parts. On the one hand there is the offensive part, and on the other hand there is the defensive part. But they don't seem to be working together a lot and when the offense has the ball, they rarely have any options to become create and it all comes down to Mbappe and Messi pulling off a miraculous move and score, but if that is not happening, PSG runs into a deadlock.

That is true. They are lack of good combinations and supports between parts of their system, attacking, midfield and defensive. In previous seasons, their defense was their Achilles but in this season, it seems they have problems from all areas. Attacking system does not finish a task to score goals, midfield players made mistakes like Veratti that caused a first goal for Bayern and acceptable performance from their defense system in this match is not enough.

The same counts when they are defending against Bayern attacks, the whole offensive line is standing around in front waiting for the defense to do the work and then play the ball to them. This is different for Bayern where even Choupo-Moting is investing at least some effort into his defensive work.

Choupo-Moting is a normal player in PSG and did not contribute too much in Paris but in Bayern, he became their main striker and his contribution increased a lot. A good system in Bayern helps normal striker like Choupo-Moting can maximize his ability and contribute more for the club. As you discussed, his contribution is widely including defensive participation too.

Their offense is doing ok I would say. They can't really complain if you look at the scorer statistics in Ligue 1, this is what it looks like for the entire league:

1.   Lionel Messi   25 (13+12)
2.   Neymar        24 (13+11)
3.   Kylian Mbappé.  21 (18+3)

The three combined have 70 scorer points, which is crazy. But it often seems as if there was insufficient cohesion between the different parts of the team. The lack of a connecting element between the defense and the offense and, as I said before, the lack of defensive work by their first line. But Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are three players who have never been known for doing any defensive work whatsoever. Usually a team has one guy like that, maybe two. But if the entire offensive line does not work defensively, that makes a big difference if your opponent does that defensive work (Bayern Munich for example).

Lille are favoured for the win against Lyon maybe but I don't think the situation is that simple now. Because this is a game between teams that are close to each other in the standings now.

A gap of six points isn't that big in the end. Besides their head-to-head games have also concluded with competitive results so far. I even see the possibility of draw as higher than a side to win. But if one side is to win then my choosing would be Lille. They might manage to benefit from playing a home game. Their scoring more goals than Lyon might also be extra help for them. Both teams should be able to score. Even if one side wins I expect it to be by only one goal.

[rendravolt]

By eliminating Paris Saint Germain from the Champions League, it will make them focus more on Ligue 1, and it will make other clubs uncomfortable because it is certain that they will appear more dominating than when Paris Saint Germain was still in the Champions League. For the umpteenth time, Paris Saint Germain has failed in this prestigious competition, which they really want to win there, they have even been eyeing it for many seasons. They have done everything they can, including buying many star players, but that has not made it easy for them to be able to realize what they have wanted so far.

A truly disappointing season once again for PSG. I think it's time to change the mindset about star players and start from some very professional players, especially if there are young players from the PSG academy they should be able to be promoted to the main club. But indeed PSG has high standards regarding players and their prestige against other European clubs, they don't want to lose their competitiveness in recruiting star players. For the Ligue 1 title race, it seems that it already belongs to PSG with a considerable distance, I doubt that the rival team can catch it until the season ends.

[blue Snow]

I try my luck by bet on underdog club Lyon tonight, maybe this looks mission impossible because Lille is never lost at home except Nice a year ago. but anything change can happen, because when I look at how they have same statistic on the last 5 matches I have thingking both club is have the same potential to winning and lost at the same time. yeah, this just my gambling, I really never know how much injury player for each team where will affect the performance.

[bering]

Lille vs Lyon

Head to head statistics for these teams looks equal because both of teams can able to defeated each other even so with their recent performance that they have similar statistics that 1 lose from 5 matches but Lille performance during playing at home also looks impressive because so far they already got 8 wins and only lose twice

About team conditions Lyon still cannot played their main goalkeeper Anthony Lopes because of injured and Alexandre Lacazette conditions also still uncertain and for Lille probably they will lost at least 2 their defenders players including Tiago Djalo but Lille forward player Jonathan David is on fire that in the last 4 matches this player has scoring 4 goals and if we see from recent conditions i can see Lille is more good than Lyon so for this match probably Lille will going to win the match and Lille has odds @2.02

Tomorrow LOSC vs Lyon will start the match between these two teams in French Soccer League. I don't understand which team will win between LOSC and Lyon. But I think if LOSC can play well then LOSC will have a big chance to win this match.  But still LOSC is ahead in the points table. I don't like the game of Lyon team players that's why I will bet for LOSC team.

Lille looked good at home, winning 8 matches, draw 3 and losing 2. That's a good statistic for Lille so far that will likely still be in the works for this week as well. Meanwhile, Lyon have suffered 6 defeats from 13 away matches, they have only been able to win 5 and draw 2.

From the statistics, I think it's good for you to consider Lille or home team to win the match. You should already know the reason, but of course that's not a guarantee to win the bet. Another consideration for you is, the two teams are both in good form in their last 5 matches where both of them only lost 1 and 1 drew and 3 wins. Draw? it's very possible, but I think Lille is likely to get a high probability compared to Lyon.

I think that if LOSC is far better than lyon. The duel between LOSC against Lyon already happened last year and LOSC was winning the game with 1-0 as the final score. I guess the same thing gonna happen once LOSC will be facing lyon very soon.



Seeing from the last match between both of clubs and i think that if LOSC will be winning the game against lyon. LOSC's odd is also very good as a team that will be having more chance to win.

Lyon's performance is not as good as LOSC.

Both teams are very strong here. So it is difficult to predict which team will win. Both teams have chances to win. But I am willing to bet Lille to win this match. Because this match is Lille's home match. And the Lille team is strong in home matches. Lille team managed to get 27 points in 13 home matches. Also, Lille's attack is quite strong. However, I think Lille will dominate this match and they will win. But the match will definitely be competitive. Lille will win 2-1 or 3-2.

PSG crashed out of the Champions League after being defeated by Bayern Munich. In fact, the PSG team's defense is very bad and the rhythm of the attack is not right. What a messy PSG team has become.

[execijutiere]

PSG's opponent is easy this week. After two defeats against Bayern Munich they have been eliminated from the Champions League and I think they should focus on the league. I expect them to win this match for sure in order not to close the points difference. Brest needs points but it is difficult to get points against PSG. Apart from lille-lyon, I will also be waiting for the result of the monaco-reims match, perhaps the 2 most important matches of this week.

Actually, PSG's rhythm of play is not so bad this season, especially in Ligue1 and also UCL, it's just that when PSG faced Bayern Munich in UCL, PSG didn't seem so good with their game. Even though in general this is not the case and PSG's opponents are also a team that is not bad this season, namely Bayern Munich and it seems that Bayern Munich will also provide an even more interesting surprise in the next round in this season's UCL.

Well, PSG in Ligue 1 is now confirmed to win the title but unfortunately, PSG has been eliminated from the Coupe de France so PSG at this moment no longer has a lot of pressure. Because of these results, of course, PSG will have a lot of freedom to play in Ligue 1 and I think it will also be good if Christophe Galtier makes a lot of experiments when playing against lower-ranked teams to play second-tier players or apply a different strategy with main players.

But if this is not implemented, then PSG's main players, especially Mbappe, who of course has the target of maintaining his position at the top of Ligue 1's top scorers. But, speaking of Mbappe, is Mbappe really going to leave PSG at the end of this season? or not, because Mbappe really wants to play in a team that can go further in the Champions League and PSG is not the right team.

Now there is nothing too strange actually with this condition because in the end PSG was only able to win Ligue 1 again and again without a bigger contribution in other competitions.
Talking about the experiments of the players, regardless of doing it or not, I think the result is the same and when talking about the top score, it will definitely be like that.
This has been confirmed now because after PSG failed in the Champions Legaue then Ligue 1 has been held and that is a certainty as well as the top scorer.

Paris Saint Germain is good, but they are not as good as Bayern Munich this season. They are good when faced with a team that is weaker than them, and when they meet a team that has the same strength at least it makes it difficult for them to play a good game. Their 2 defeats at home or away show that Bayern Munich is better than them.

Once again, PSG failed to achieve its goal. PSG added Lionel Messi to the team only to win the Champions League. But the PSG team left the Champions League due to the considerable deficiency of the defense lineup.
