French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Naficopa]

Lyon is still facing a bad performance crisis in the last few matches which has forced it to be in 10th place in the standings. In the last 5 matches Lyon have drawn 3 times, 1 win and 1 loss. Of course this result is not good considering they did not get maximum results because most of them played in draws. In fact, in the next match, Lyon will have to play an away match against PSG, of course this will be another deadlock for Lyon to get full points, considering that PSG also seems to want to win in this match to be able to continue to widen the distance from Marseille.

Unfortunately, Lyon's performance is pretty bad. In fact, the difference in points between the teams is still not too much, the team that achieves good form will quickly take the lead in the scoreboard. But Lyon doesn't seem like a team that can do that. I don't think they can score points in the next match, it will be an easy win for PSG

There is no doubt that the PSG team is very strong. However, the team lost points against Rennes in the last match. PSG's overall gameplay is not stable due to poor bonding between the players. The team cannot maintain good performance consistently. And that's why they didn't do well even on the Champions League platform. Even PSG's performance in Ligue 1 cannot be said to be very good. PSG will play a home match against Lyon. PSG are favorites in this match. However, it cannot be said that Lyon has no chance of getting points. Lyon can earn points in this match if PSG's attack can be stopped. And I would say Lyon has this ability. The match will certainly be competitive.

As far as I know there is no strong team in League One who can beat PSG to win the League One title. So far, PSG are currently at the top of the points table. I am very sure that PSG will win the League One title this time.

The Rennes v Lens match is going to be very important for both sides. Because these teams both have goals of qualifying for a tournament by their ranking in the league. Rennes can even lose their place to Lille as the gap is only one point. The place they are in is like the last one to qualify for some tournament so it is really valuable for them. Rennes would like to beat their challenging opponent Lens to maintain their position at least. But they have a really tough work to do.

Lens are still maintaining their chance for the second spot at least. It is the last spot to join the Champions League group stage directly. Their fight with Marseille for that is really hard as well. However Lens are horrible in away matches considering the results so far. I don't think they can resist a Rennes that play superbly home.

Rennes vs Lens is certainly going to be very interesting and important for both of the teams.

Basically, it does not matter which team wins the match, it is going to cause some serious chaos in the table. Both of the teams can actually create a huge difference by winning this match. People are thinking that Rennes are not going to create too much fuss if they do win this but if they win, Lens is going to drop points which means the other teams can actually get ahead of Lens.

As far as I know there is no strong team in League One who can beat PSG to win the League One title. So far, PSG are currently at the top of the points table. I am very sure that PSG will win the League One title this time.

I also agree with what you are saying because it is clear that in Ligue1 there is no stronger team than PSG so that other teams who want to prevent PSG from winning in Ligue1 will always find it difficult. Because PSG still has the best players who can still contribute better to the PSG team this season. So there is no stronger reason for another team to beat PSG in Ligue1, be it this season or next season if the other team doesn't have good enough players to be very consistent in the season to come.

As long as PSG is consistent and leads the standings, during that time they have a great chance to win the title. While PSG have also failed to win the title, for example in the 2016/2017, 2020/2021 seasons, but the rest they have dominated the title.

This season people will not worry even if PSG lost 4 times in 28 matches. PSG still leads the standings with a 7-point advantage over its closest rival, and Ligue 1 only has 10 matches left. Logically, PSG is a team that will be champions, but we don't know what will happen in the remaining 10 matches of the season.

As we know Lyon's performance will likely be similar to the previous season and they will finish in the middle of the table this season. Lyon as one of the strong teams in Ligue 1 has not been able to prove its resurrection and it is very difficult to win, this is very difficult to fix even this season. Of course in the next game Lyon will definitely lose to PSG, but if they are able to get up in this match there will definitely be moral support from their supporters to go for maximum results and PSG should not underestimate Lyon in this match later.

Lol..... 7 points is too small for a true fan to bost. As long as I know that Is less than 3 matches. If they lose 3 matches 7 point is gone. pSG will not lose the title no doubt but the result they keep producing is quite detrimental to the image of the club.
Even with the present of the giant personalities, they still keep losing matches that we're supposed to be a clear 3 points for them. I'm only saying the title will still be theirs because there's no other contenders who is at least a fraction as strong as pSG.

[terrorJR]

So, I personally think that this is not an easy match for Monaco, because maybe Strasbourg can hold Monaco to a draw. But yes, if Monaco really can play even better to improve their home results, then Monaco must win this match.

The current conditions are still favorable for Monaco actually, but on the other hand things like this also cannot become possible, it's just that they are in much better conditions than Strasbourg and playing at home can be more strength for them.
Their first meeting was quite fierce even though Monaco managed to win narrowly and from this it is clear that their chances of winning again are also getting bigger even though the conditions are still in a narrow advantage as before.

The thing about Monaco is they didn't start the season well but recently they show a good performance and now they have the chance to be on top of the table. I think they have the chance to be the third team if they beat Strasbourg next week. However, the game against Reims was a complete disappointment for them as they lost three points, otherwise, they could even have had the opportunity to make it into the top two next week if they had won.

Talking about the leader of the standings is redundant for now.
some unfavorable results in the last 4 matches are clearly disappointing but at least with the previous victory against Ajaccio this can be a pretty good capital when facing Strasbourg.
At the moment Strasbourg is still not making the same good contribution as the previous season and this is of course a good opportunity for Monaco.

PSG is only active in the French league. They are eliminated in all other leagues and tournaments, in the CL and also in the French Cup. The sights can therefore be fully focused on the French league, but if you see the lead, that is no longer interesting. How do players like Messi and Mbappe deal with that? They are used to playing at the highest level for a long time. I think Mbappe would be wise to move to another team, say in the Spanish league with Real Madrid maybe somewhere in the EPL. PSG is not running as a team and I don't think that will happen in the coming years. Probe of his time and talent Messi .

You should not be surprised to see that if PSG will never win UCL. PSG didn't have good mentality. League 1 can also be considered a farmer league as there are no strong teams in the league. I do agree with you if mbappe must have moved to the a new team.
If mbappe was accepting the offer from real madrid in the past and mbappe has won some titles right now. The problem is mbappe was not even wanna leaving from the safe zone to take huge challenge in another league.
PSG will always stuck at the same place caused by there's no strict competition that would be building the mentality of the players. Winning UCL was the most difficult task that can be done by any team in EU.
I see no reason for PSG to win UCL if it keeps perform the same thing over and over again.

 To me this PSG side are domestic champions, they can't go outside Ligue 1 league and get a better result like earning a trophy, one of the greatest if I should say is the UCL but all they do is getting close and coming back with nothing, how disappointing because they're suppose to be UCL contenders or even the favorite but everybody knows how it will end up for them. Having them taking a bow is worrisome, well what can we say?
 Since they're out of the UCL is time to concentrate more on the trophy they are known for, what a shame. Now is time to trash any team that comes there way starting with 14th place Brest, everyone knows how it will end. IMO, it will be a night for the league leaders to extend there lead on the log.

It is that the truth is that PSG have no other choice, they have to win LIGUE 1, because otherwise they will make me laugh at the entire football world, firstly because they have the best players who are Messi and Mbappé,secondly the club that has the most money or that makes it appear that they have too much money, they have iconic players, they want to afford to sell Neymar, after that Messi may leave, so they have to win or win Ligue 1, it's their A fundamental task, I don't see any other scenario than that, they have to ensure they win to have a place in the UCL directly,because the fact that they take first place would not be well seen.


And this is how the ranking goes:

A unique opportunity for Marseille to do something here, I hope they can continue to win and thus make a difference.

[Velvet78]

There is a PSG - Lyon game next time and I'm expecting to see PSG winning the game. Their previous game against each other already ended up with a win for PSG. It was a close win but this time PSG should be even more dominant. In Parc des Princes I just expect a win from them comfortably. They just can't risk their league title from now on as it is the only thing they have left.

They were caring about the Champions League the most but they are out of it already. At least they should go for the league title and secure it.

On paper PSG is always the best and the favorite team to win. Unfortunately for them and their fans, that wasn't the case in some matches and PSG ended up losing vs weaker teams. Lyon used to be a good team in the past which wasn't the case for the moment. They receive frequently a goal and they are playing away. These reasons did support a PSG victory.

[shinratensei_]

I don't think PSG can catch up this season as they did in previous seasons. But the situation with the other top 5 clubs is really interesting. Marseille, Lens, Monaco, Rennes and even Lille will be fighting hard to get into the European championships next season. If Monaco continue to play poorly, Lille can get in their place because they play just as well.

PSG is still in first place with 7 points gap to its competitor and i think that it's gonna be an easy task for PSG to defend its position until the end of the season. PSG had a bigger chance compared with other teams. The remaining matches become even less. I see that if PSG will become a winner again this season. I can't deny that it that will be so good to see marseille win the competition for this season. 10 matches are still remaining at this moment. 7 points can be quite easy to be catch by marseille as long as PSG will have the same result against rennes
The next opponent will be lyong which can be considered a strong team as well. I meant let's say the fact that if psg was not able to make a single goal against rennes is really embrassing.
The internal problem seems affecting the performance of SPG at this moment. I would be so glad to see PSG lose three times more.

I'd liked to see a new winner take the trophy and it's not PSG, PSG, and PSG again.

PSG had a bigger chance compared with other teams. The remaining matches become even less. I see that if PSG will become a winner again this season.

With the gaps (7 points) that are big enough and with player quality of PSG, it's impossible for them to lose Ligue 1 title in this season. There was such risk about one or two months ago when PSG have very slim differences with other clubs but now it is big enough already.
Especially PSG don't have to focus on Champions League after disappointed defeats by Bayern Munich at round of 16. They will have to play very damn bad to lose Ligue 1 and with players they have, PSG only need them to play at 80% of their best to win enough left matches and get a trophy.

PSG team is very strong. However, PSG has been badly beaten in several matches in Ligue 1. But they were able to recover very quickly. PSG lost 2-0 in the last match against Rennes. But I think we will see a good performance from PSG in the next match and PSG will win. PSG is going to face Lyon in the next match. PSG will win this match even though Lyon is a strong team, I predict.

Since PSG has been eliminated from the Champions League, now PSG coach Galtier will try to stabilize the team and focus only on Ligue 1 matches. Now PSG's performance in Ligue 1 will be more intense.

A PSG team won't have to work very hard to do well in Ligue 1. Because the opposition team is much weaker and behind the PSG team. But it is really sad that PSG team left the Champions League, because the main goal of PSG team was to win the Champions League title.

Lyon used to be a good team in the past which wasn't the case for the moment. They receive frequently a goal and they are playing away. These reasons did support a PSG victory.

Lyon is as good as rennes. PSG must be careful and learn from the previous match about how rennes was able to beat PSG 2-0 without even a single goal from PSG. Lyon is also a strong team now. I would not even called that the team like rennes as a weak team.
I think that you shall not also underestimate another team. Some may mediocre but some clubs have good capabilities to compete in the domestic league.
PSG is now losing its spirit. It seems psg will have faced difficulty when it will be against lyon. It seems like that galtier will be replaced by zidane in the future.



PSG's odds is pretty small. That means bookies were fully trusting PSG to win the match easily against lyon but i just learn from previous match if PSG may also lose against lyon.

Indeed, Lyon is a strong team but they have had a not-so-good season so far and as we know Lyon are currently slumped in the middle of the standings. But indeed the need to be wary of the opponents that PSG will face later will be an important point for Galtier's squad against Lyon later. Looking at these odds, I really believe in betting for PSG to win and it looks like Lyon will again achieve a bitter result in this match.

[bering]

Rennes vs Lens is could be interesting match for next weekend this because both teams in the good shape especially Lens that they had a target want to overtake Marseille position on standings league and 1 difference points between them and Marseille still possible to be achieved but Rennes too won't let Lens to earn 3 points from this match especially their position threaten by Lille so Rennes have to win to secured their position

Lens had good records from Rennes before but they should be careful to Rennes because this season Rennes were very hard to be defeated at home and so far they have already got 11 wins from their home ground matches so Lens basically faced difficult match and Rennes in the good mentally after successfully to beat PSG recently so they have strong motivation to earn 3 points from this match

[shogun47]

Saying that Galtier improved the team is a joke. The last time they played Bayern in the Champions League, there was a real fight. This time PSG looked like they were dead in the water. Nothing was happening on their part.

And even if they could still gather more points in Ligue 1 this year than last year, it still isn't a convincing performance by them. The have also been kicked out of the Coup de France last season in the round of 16 against Nice in a home game.

PSG is simply not the team they should be given how many stars they have on their team.

Bringing coach like Galtier at PSG was joke in itself because while you have big dreams you need to be work on all aspects better and having quality coach and players is clubs managements responsibility where these Qataris completely fail with second problem which is preventing them from having any big win in Champions League is not honouring all players at same level which is also worst from them and creating mess up in dressing room as professional you need to work on basic things which are important and create good environment in dressing room which is the most important thing for having better results.

Now how things will be moved after end of this season nothing is clear because most chances Messi and Galtier both are going to leave and what is future of Mbappé and Neymar, it's also not clear; hopefully we will have better things in near future and right path for this big club as well.

PSG has a massive issue in regards to their hierarchy. They want the best coaches in the world, but the best coaches in the world have their own idea of a team and how they want to play. But the PSG bosses also want that their ideas get realized. The only way out is that you sign the second best coaches that you can force to do what you want them to do. See Tuchel, he didn't want the club bosses to tell him how to play and with whom to play. At the same time Klopp and Guardiola have a say in their clubs when it comes to managing the squad. PSG will always suffer from that problem.

PSg issues will start at the end of this season when most of the superstar players like Neymar and Messi leave this team and they will have to find players to replace them or increase their salaries for huge amounts of money just like they did a few months ago about Mbappe, but this time even the fans are unhappy and holding the players after the end of this season will be a pain for them.

They won't have any issues finding players to replace Neymar and Messi for as long as the new "financial sustainability" concept isn't introduced and definitely enforced. Money can buy everything. But they will have an issue publicly I guess. Messi leaving the club is a loss in many regards besides just sports. But I agree with you that that could start a chain of bad events for PSG. Mbappe is probably not going to stay when Neymar and Messi leave. He scored again two goals for the French national team and all eyes are on him. He should understand that PSG is not going to turn him into the global superstar he could actually be. In my opinion he needs to play for another club as soon as possible.

To win the league I believe they will be able to do it, right now they are still leading the table by 7 points from second place. In Ligue 1, the distance of just 7 points is a wide distance, especially since the one with that distance is the strongest team in Ligue 1. I don't even think any other team can catch them in the rest of this Ligue 1 match. They have been eliminated in the Champions League, and there is no reason for them not to try to take the title in Ligue 1.

We will see how PSG play after the international break later. because, there are several players who are defending their respective national teams. it may have an impact on the fitness of some players after the international jada, or the potential for injury. however, I hope there are no problems with them.

Speaking of the match versus Lyon, in the match PSG will play the match at home. this fight should be a revival match for them to get back to winning ways. plus, strengthening their points at the top of the standings.
Meanwhile, what Lyon has shown in its last three matches has not produced maximum results. Lyons only produced three points in three matches. minor results make them have to work extra hard against PSG later. if not, chances are that SPG can easily get full points in the match later. meaning, Laurent Blanc must optimize his troops to take advantage of the momentum of PSG's condition which is not at its best. even so, because this match still leaves one week ahead. Let's see first every latest development of these two teams.

[Ratash]

Paris team will face Lyon in the next round its a classic game and i don't think it will be easy for psg even though lyon team is far away from good, in the last game psg had a poor performance and they lost home against Rennes, they need to win next because Marseille team will be playing home and there is a good chance they will win.
