French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[maju69]

PSG is one funny team when you mention the champions league, well they're out now and they'll concentrate on their league but it seems they're still not getting things right even in Ligue 1, I can't just get it.
 Today they're going head to head against a visiting team [Rennes] who wants to make it to the conference league but is going to be a very difficult task to win against the host at this point in time, they're unleash their anger on Rennes and it might be a goal fiesta. With the likes of Messi and Co it will be another day to smile with a huge win.

I agree with you about Paris Saint Germain, in fact I think that if in Ligue 1 there were teams who were really on the same footing financially and in line-up I doubt they would easily win the title. What are they lacking? Financial they have very good ability, players? They have a series of star players in their squad. But that doesn't make them a very scary team.

Lens had a very impressive game against Angers home and destroyed them. They were solid in terms of passing and shots both. Angers couldn't even resist them much. Lens need to maintain an effort similar to this level if they want to keep their claim for a spot in the Champions League. They need to finish at the second spot if they want to join the group stage directly of course.

And this isn't an easy task for them at all. Because there are very challenging opponents like Marseille and Monaco aiming the same goal. Lens will just hope for exactly Marseille to lose points this week. Because their losing points will keep Lens ahead of them in the standings. As Marseille's opponent is Reims in an away match it might really happen. Will Still has been doing an incredible work so far.

After the slow start of this season now they are doing good job and having good win against Toulouse which bring them to fifth spot which is also good achievement for them in this season with most chances they will keep this for few weeks because tomorrow we have PSG vs Rennes which is surely won for the home team with this Lille will be able to stay here in this match after having goalless draw after end of first half we have two late goals from Lille side with Alexsandro scored in 85th minute goal then Bayo scored in injury time which was big below for them, and they are able to have full three points from this match now after break they will face Lorient which after having good start of this season now having poor results and trying to stay in above spots.

Lille managed to secure a remarkable victory in the Ligue 1 match. Lille kept most of the possession to themselves and the team's attacking players used great tactics and managed to score 2 goals. Later, Lille secured victory as the opposition could not pay for these goals.

The last match was supposed to be easy for Lille. By "easy" I mean winnable. They did start slow. But now they are looking good. I will still say that they are not consistent enough. At least not in my opinion. They will have to be a little more consistent to finish in the top three or two in my opinion. The point difference between them and the team in the third position is quite good. The way they are performing right now, winning one and drawing three is not going to be enough for them to reach the second or third position.

PSG team I think, their club is built to win the league one title. Because players like Lionel Messi, Ramos, Ashraf Hakimi added to the team to do something good in the Champions League. But I don't see any difference in the team. I think the only problem behind this failure of PSG team is the coach of the team.

It has been another disappointing season for PSG which is considered one of the richest clubs in the world. However, that fact doesn't mean much after yet another early exit from the Champions League. PSG is the best over 2.5 goals team in Ligue 1 to no one's surprise, their matches average 3.5 goals so this PSG vs Rennes has good scoring reasoning. There is no big motivation for the team, just to end the season on a high note defending the title. Rennes, on the other hand, played 17 ‘over' matches this season, and the last time these teams met, the score was 1-0 against PSG , for now, the visiting team. In the past five matches between these teams, four of them ended with fewer than three goals scored. Rennes played four out of the last five league games with under 2.5 goals while PSG is in the middle of a seven game streak with ‘over' goals matches.

I don't fully agree. however, yes, because Galtier is the trainer. Of course, he contributed to PSG's elimination in the Champions League. because in fact, Galtier failed to bring PSG much better than previous coaches. even so, we can see PSG's failure from various factors. especially, after the post-world cup. the injury to the core players, made PSG's performance decrease. Likewise, when PSG played Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League.

I can't completely say Galtier's failure was purely, or should we say his fault. because IMO, Galtier is a pretty unique and intelligent trainer. unfortunately, the system he implemented on his team did not go according to what he wanted. I just want to say that PSG lacks a decent midfield player. be it an attacking midfielder, or a defensive midfielder. as a result, when PSG came up against a team on par with them. often, PSG's front line cannot play optimally. because, they don't have good support from other players. in particular, the midfield sector. by the way, currently PSG will have a match against Rennes. should be, three points is the result they must get.

In the first match of the day, Monaco defeated ajaccio 2-0 away from home.They are out of the championship race but they are competing for the top 3.These 3 points are important for them.Ajaccio is in the relegation zone and they need points but they could not play against monaco.They conceded a goal in the 27th minute against a tough opponent and lost 1-0 in the first half.When they were reduced to 10 men with a red card in the 53rd minute, their chances of winning the match decreased even more.Monaco increased the difference to 2 in the last minutes and won the match.
I must say that we saw goals in the first halves of the matches played. In 4 matches, there were goals in the first half.

He did not have enough experience in Champions League and PSG is a biggest club in his career. I am sure he would feel stressful and pressure on his shoulders in PSG. In reality he failed to help PSG players at their highest capability and failed to help them going far in Champions League. Failing in Champions League always is a big minus point for any coach in PSG.

I can't completely say Galtier's failure was purely, or should we say his fault. because IMO, Galtier is a pretty unique and intelligent trainer. unfortunately, the system he implemented on his team did not go according to what he wanted.

It is not a pure responsibility from a single person like Galtier but it is a responsibility of a whole team. PSG players could not play well in many Champions League seasons, not only in this one. In the past ten years, it is barely to see they went to quarter final or farther than that. Messi and Ramos did not help them to win Champions League but their results are worse in the last two seasons.

They must rebuild their squad for all three areas from attacking front-line to midfield and defensive areas. They must prioritize to buy strong central defenders and defensive midfielders that would be basement for their success in Champions League.

Lorient team are ahead in the score sheet against Nice and the question is will they be able to stop Nice unbeaten streak, i think its possible if they perform like they did in the first half it was totally one sided i haven't seen Nice perform this poorly this season.

[execijutiere]

Troyes-Brest match ended 2-2. Both teams took 1 point each in a match that concerns the bottom of the table, the relegation zone. Although the first goal was scored by the away team Brest, the team, which saw 2 goals in 8 minutes, closed the first half 2-1 down. It should be said that both teams actually fought for 3 points because a draw is not enough for both teams.
The match concerning the top of the table was Nice-Lorient, both teams had the same number of points before the start of the match, and when the match ended in a draw, they closed with the same point difference.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I don't think this competition is really that popular anymore. This is mainly because PSG is already champion again with many games to play. The season that OSC Lille became champion last season was much more fun to watch. It's still a wonder how they managed to do that though. I wonder what will be left of this team next season. Messi and Mbappe who want to win the CL one day. This is also a long time ago for Messi. Mbappe has never won it. The only 2 teams that are possibly better than Bayern Munich and City. It is not the coach's fault, he has made his team play better than last season.

I think League One is only so popular for PSG team. If PSG did not play in League One then this league would not be so popular. However, PSG are always champions in this League One. As well, small team fight to make themselves efficient.

They are about 10 points or something above anyone else in the league and that means they are not going to give this title to anyone, they will be the eventual champions. I get that there could be some times where they could end up losing, it's football in the end and anyone can lose but they are so far ahead that even one loss doesn't really matter all that much.

This is why I believe that we should be giving the title chances to them, 1.01 odds and all that. I hope that we could see PSG do better in UCL in the future, maybe not this neymar-messi era and when they are gone because Mbappe is young and will continue to play even after them.

This season lens performance is very interesting. There was a time they were at first position that they couldn't maintain  to remain to lead. If lens can maintain the second position to get a spot in the Champions league it will be achievement this season.
It was so easy for lens to beat anger.

Seems excited behind 10 points left on standing position but PSG left 0-2 right now until 53th minutes from Rennes, will be different later if PSG loss points and another game Marseille win from Reims will start few hours later.  I hope have any team can stop with PSG points in Ligue 1 and seems boring when looking the winner Ligue 1 tittle dominance every years by PSG.

if the score is 0-2 last until the last minute seems excited for marseille winning match against Reims, have bigger motivation make close position with PSG on standing and up coming next games PSG have loss points again until Marseille can back to the top standing position although with little chance.

The French 1 League is known for the teams that compete in it which are seen playing in big competitions such as the Champions League and the Europa league. It cannot be deny that most of the audience will be curious  about the club's origins
Even if PSG is not there, this league can still be popular as long as it is still a representative that participates in big competitions such as UCL and UEL.

[NicNacCoin]

I assumed for sure that PSG will win this match today. And I bet for PSG in this match. But I never imagined that PSG would lose to Rennes like this. My question is why do people bet for PSG? Why do people think PSG is so strong? Despite having so many stars, they did not think PSG is a strong team in today's match. Actually, I would not have said it like this, but I was forced to say it. Every time I have bet for PSG I have done PSG very poorly. I hope to never bet for PSG again.

I don't want to talk too much about PSG's loss because I think they are really having problems defensively because there are a lot of players on the injury list. It is known that a number of PSG defenders have suffered injuries, including Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe.

While I would not think the defeat to Rennes would make PSG in danger of losing the Ligue 1 title this season. PSG are still 9 points ahead of Lens or maybe 7 points ahead of Marseille if the last team wins the match against Reims.

Well it is difficult to understand such lost games from Paris with all the super star players they have in their composition.It is most likely that they do not give a damn now because they are some points forward and they have enough time to make such tricks like not caring if they lose a game or two.The second place is already 9 points behind and if Marseille will win tonight the difficult game they have against Reims they will still be 7 points behind PSG which they need 3 games to recover.Now we are in March and there is not much time but I think Paris is just making the Ligue 1 more interesting to watch,in the end they are going to win it as always so they cannot call this a failed season.

I also disappointed in PSG match. Even, PSG couldn't scored in this match, with the ability of their striker it should at least PSG could scored at home but not. After unsuccessful in the UCL now their performance didn't seen stable. Previously, even Brest can scored against PSG, but their match today was very unexpected.
Answering your question, PSG is at the top of currently table so I also personally will definitely bet on them although the odds very small but at least bet on they will be safe, and there is a possibility to get of chance to get a little profit. But the reality is that PSG have not always been strong, athough there are many star players.
