French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Alanaz]

Rennes failed to record another win this week by only being able to draw with Auxerre. There seems to be a problem in their attacking scheme, because they dominated the game, but they found it very difficult to penetrate Auxerre's defense and found a dead end every time they tried to attack. I thought they would be able to bring home 3 points in this match, it turns out they could only take 1 point.

Lacazette was there to save Lyon in short. He was injured before and he newly recovered before the match against Lille. The manager didn't prefer him in the starting eleven not to risk it. But after Lille seemed like they were going to win the match Lacazette entered the match. It was a great move by the manager because he was the savior of his team by scoring two goals there.

It was an extraordinary performance from Lacazette, played from the 72nd minute he managed to score 2 goals to save Lyon and get 1 point for it. Perhaps Laurent Blanc should consider starting him in Lyon's next game against Nantes. But for the league's top scorer, I think it will be difficult for Lacazette to compete with Jonathan David and Kylian Mbappe, they performed very well in their respective teams, as you know also in the Lille Vs Lyon match Jonathan David scored a hat trick there.

Brest vs PSG

This will be an interesting match considering that PSG have been eliminated from the champions league and now they will focus on the remaining Ligue 1 matches to secure the title this season. Brest as the host doesn't seem to have a chance to win this match, even in head to head PSG are always superior either at home or away. Mbappe and Messi as usual will be the key to victory for PSG and this will be an additional 3 points for PSG in the standings.

I think we even know who will win in this match.
Brest has a condition where they won last week but it doesn't matter when the opponent is PSG now and of course PSG have to win easily and have to get points again and again at least with this they show their dominance because it's the only way they can save face Moreover, this is the only competition they are currently participating in.

They did not have winning habit in Champions League and they don't have strong mentality there. They have it in Ligue 1 but in Champions League, they have the opposite. From strongly confident in Ligue 1 to extremely fearful and vulnerable in Champions League, PSG have two opposite sides. Even their star players in attacking system don't play well in Champions League. Sometimes they shined brightly but mostly they didn't.

Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have made PSG better in quality, but in the end these three players are not saviors in many important matches because the depth of PSG's squad is very unequal.

I heard that there are many demands in the process of renewing Lionel Messi's contract at PSG, one of which is to bring in several new players so that the team's goals in the Champions League can be achieved. If PSG really want to do it, then they will have to improve in defense and midfield. These two positions had in fact been in trouble so far, so they should completely overhaul them.

Auxerre vs Rennes should be a game that cannot end with a draw right ? both teams are looking for 3 points today , as Auxerre to avoid relegation and lately they are doing a great job by accumulating points and then we have , Rennes who wants to keep that last place that leads to Conference league for next year so overall , I'm expecting goals today.

Agree with what you said because even when looking at the quality of the players they are almost equal but when talking about the overall performance Rennes is above Auxerre for now.
A draw without a single goal there makes this really detrimental for Rennes, I think because with this, their points that should be close to Lens are hampered.

Paris Saint Germain are suppose to win the game tonight but they are out of the champions League and I don't think they have another compitetion to play for, so the only league are have to play for now is the French league, the game has started and they are till playing goalless but I know Paris Saint Germain can till win the game, is just for them to play and enjoy themselves at the moment nothing to play for again because they are the favourite to win the league title.

[execijutiere]

Auxerre drew against Rennes. In fact, even a point is important for them. If they want to stay in the league they will need points, especially from home games. Rennes, on the other hand, maintained their 5th place with this draw.This actually helped Lille a little bit.Lille lost 2 points in the match that ended in a 3-3 draw yesterday.Now that Rennes also drew, things are exactly the same again.
In the match that is going on now, PSG are 1-0 ahead.PSG are playing well in Brest away and will probably pass here without a loss.

[Pulsar77]

It is just unacceptable for me to see PSG this much unsuccessful. I don't see the Ligue 1 titles as big successes. Because they have already been dominating the league for many years so there isn't anything impressive in this for the supporters anymore. They just want their team to become the Champions League champions. With a squad like this they should have been able to do it at least for once already. But they are just making bad decisions about their choice of manager.

I agree with the people who think they need a much more reliable manager than Galtier. Zidane is not the only one of course there are many other options as well. Maybe Zidane might not accept a job offer from any team yet as he had a wish to manage a national team as far as I know.

What in your mind not acceptable with PSG failure in Champion League? have been tradition with PSG can't get Champion League tittle several years although bring many stars player. Seems not mistake from PSG manager Graham Galtier because previous manager never success give Champion League tittle except with Thomas Tuchel lead until final stage only.

No bad if Zidane become PSG manager next season but I don't sure his potential will give Champion League tittle because difference player composition between become Real Madrid manager and PSG. Left Ligue 1 with several matches later and no doubt with PSG will be the winner with 8 points left behind Marseille on current position.

Like I said as long as this squad don't manage to win the Champions League still then it isn't a very successful season for them. Yeah they couldn't do this with some other managers in the past as well. But I just see Galtier even worse than all of them. Because PSG just finished the matchup against Bayern Munich without scoring a goal. This is just terrible performance. I remember how strong they were against Bayern Munich some years ago.

Back then they didn't have even Messi in the team but still they were really impressive against Bayern Munich. After a tough matchup they managed to eliminate Bayern Munich then. Now they have a stronger lineup but they are just worse in performance. Let's see what action PSG will take about this situation. But if I were in their place I would have tried to bring a manager like Zidane.

the first round of Brest vs PSG has ended with a 1-1 draw. PSG was able to take an early lead through Soler but Brest were able to equalize quickly in the 43rd minute through Honorat.  From the PSG formation, I saw Galtier installing 4-2-2-2. This is quite a strange formation, and I was surprised to see what Galtier was doing. I think he has a target that is strong enough to win this match after PSG were previously knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Let's wait for the second half to start. I think this match is likely to be won by PSG because they were able to play pretty well in the first half. lionel messi and mbappe had quite good chances to score in the first half but they failed to finish well, I think they will make the most of the second half as best they can.

Auxerre recent form is amazing as they were able to hold Rennes for the goalless draw which give them one crucial point and place out of danger zone for one day because if tomorrow we have AC Ajaccio won against Montpellier then surely we will have changes in league table but right now things looking good for the Auxerre after this result in last five games they are having nine points which is surely good stuff for them and their hopes for having another season in Ligue1 situation in league is surely good as few teams are having good change in performance which is surely helping them for having better spots in league table and also for staying into this league for another season even right now all are just predictions with we can expect changes which are surely going to have big impact in coming weeks as well.

psg is a shitty team, I'm watching this game and honestly they're playing it looks like they're on a school field, childish plays, you have no idea what they're doing, honestly it just shows that PSG has no coach and doesn't have players on the field, this PSG is shit, I can't understand why they haven't fired the coach yet and they still aren't changing many players who are not contributing anything to the team, it's clear that PSG is worse than the old coach's time. this bad formation, this bad strategy prevents messi from playing well, they should have fired that coach a long time ago

The problem is not in the coach, but in the fact that just in order for PSG to stop being crappy, a lot of people need to be kicked out of there, including Messi. Messi is already just old and he is enough for a maximum of half  (this is taking into account the fact that yмyт in his youth he moved less than average around the field).
I see no reason to make claims against the coach when there are so many stars "in a special position" in the team who have more weight and power than he does. PSG need to hire Ten Hag for a couple of weeks in order to disperse the ballast  and give the team a chance to move forward.

[Ratash]

Another tough win for psg team, they had to wait until the last minutes of the game to score the winning goal against brest, another disapointing performance from psg, this confirms why they were eliminated from the champions league, brest team was so close from getting a valuable point in today game that could've help them avoid relegation but mbappe last minute goal was unfortunate for them.

Aside the fact that they were able to draw today match, I quest Auxerre has lost for too much. They couldn't afford to lose against Rennes. It will be such a big mess for a team who is still  struggling to leave the relegation zone. But Rennes in their own way has shown weakness.  Though the season is getting tougher as its end approaches, they are some matches a team like Rennes isn't expected to lose and the fixture against Auxerre is one of them.

PSG are still lucky Mbappe can score a goal in last minutes, if not then it will exacerbate of their situation PSG squad and especially the coach.

Guys ! Tomorrow Marseille will against Strasbourg, and Marseille needs full points to at least stay away from Monaco and Lens which at any time could threaten the comfort of Marseille position in second place. They should be able to get a win comfortably at home, because also starsbourg not in a good performance to steal points. What do you think guys, can Marseille win that match?

You are right that PSG have turned into a really bad team. I enjoyed this game too I saw them perform very badly. They are not performing well at all. A club like PSG has the most stars. The best star in the world is in PSG, so PSG is not playing well at all. But right now a big change has to be made in PSG which can bring good results for the change. I have failed many times betting on PSG games. I don't want to bet on this psg. A team so good where the best players in the world perform the worst. Indeed it is becoming shameful.

PSG were lucky to win that game and get the 3 points. The second goal was scored at the end of the game by their saviour Mbappe as usual. I don't know how could PSG perform in the future without Mbappe and eventually Messi...
Lille 3 - 3 Lyon seemed to be an interesting game with a lot of goals. Lens, Monaco and Marseille games don't seem to be very challenging and the gap between them might return as the previous round.

PSG don't need more titles in Ligue 1 and they consider it as automated title for them in each season. What they actually want is Champions League, a first title there but both Neymar, Messi and Mbappe failed to bring them to success. At least they have failed in many seasons including this one. After having Messi, in the past two seasons PSG were knocked out at round of 1/8, that is bad. Previously, they had one semi final and one final and last two seasons, they did have decreasing performance in Champions League.

I think they can let Messi and Neymar leave and build up their club around Mbappe with more attacking players who are readily to run and contribute for midfield and defense systems. They must have a more balancing team to win Champions League and these three super star attacking players don't provide it.

[Velvet78]

A Messi - Mbappe cooperation happened so late in the game that PSG were nearly losing points against Brest today. After being eliminated in the Champions League the players must be really unhappy. Because they said goodbye to the most important tournament for them so early. Now they just have to focus on the Ligue 1 championship. They don't have anything else left in their hands.

In the summer I will be curious about what actions PSG will take. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Galtier being sacked.

they were out of the cup and the Champions League, Ligue 1 is all they have left now, and they have a pretty good lead over other teams, in my opinion, the season is over for PSG, they just have to play the rest of the matches and get it over with, Mbappe probably won't take it easy because he still fighting to be the goalscorer of the league.
