French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rendravolt]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Even though this is a classic match and it won't be easy for them, with the composition of the players they currently have they should be able to get full points in this match. Paris Saint Germain is now at the very top of the list in the standings. But that doesn't mean they can just relax, they have to be able to create an even bigger gap for the team under them. If possible they should be able to claim the title early.

I think most of the matches in Ligue 1 will ensure victory and I expect PSG to win this league title. Because PSG cannot do well in other leagues, League One is the main target of PSG team. But the fans expected something better from PSG in the Champions League.

PSG will also play at home against Lyon, and I think this will make it difficult for Lyon next week when they face PSG. Because PSG will now focus more on Ligue1 to get a trophy after failing to perform well in the Champions League this season. So next week's match will be difficult for Lyon in my opinion, not difficult for PSG.

Even though this is a classic match and it won't be easy for them, with the composition of the players they currently have they should be able to get full points in this match. Paris Saint Germain is now at the very top of the list in the standings. But that doesn't mean they can just relax, they have to be able to create an even bigger gap for the team under them. If possible they should be able to claim the title early.

It could be very possible for PSG to claim the title early in Ligue1 this season, because PSG is very aware that its closest rival in the Ligue1 standings is currently also chasing it for the title, especially next week Marseille will get an opponent who is not so strong when competing at home so that PSG must also think about its victory at home to Lyon which will also take place next week.

In fact, Lens is superior to Rennes in the results of home and away matches and also, in their first meeting this season, Lens was still able to maintain its dominance when playing against Rennes. Also, the odds currently available at least don't have a significant difference so even though Lens is playing away, I'm sure Lens will still not be easy to beat.

Of course Lens cannot lose in this match, because Lens' position is threatened by Monaco who are in fourth place with only three points gap. So yes, even though in the match Lens will not be easy to win, then a draw is enough for Lens to maintain its position in third place in the Ligue 1 standings.

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.

But they have enough money and enough investment in their teams, but the question is is this possible for the owner of PSG to spend more money while they didn't get good results? I mean since they spend money at the beginning of the season and they failed in the champions league and there is not enough gap for them in French League, there is the possibility for the owners to stop spending huge amounts of money on them, Also finding a player to replace with Messi is a pain for any team even if they have enough money.

I think considering how Mbappe played in the national team as well, he will come with a force. Last time that happened again, playing for France makes him fall in love with the game again somehow, or maybe that is just me, but I feel like Mbappe will be a different force again. He played so well against Netherlands and considering all the other teams will be much worse in Ligue 1, we can easily say that there aren't really any team that can stop him.

Neymar has been missing many games just as usual, he never really stayed healthy any season ever, so that is why he was missing once again and I believe that Messi can help to a point but he is not going to be the key, Mbappe will get them that title for sure.

PSG currently has a lot of injured players, so it's hard for Mbappe to win in every match, even though Mbappe was able to show his good skills when playing as the national team but at PSG he very difficult. Messi too, last match they lost against Rennes. Regarding Neymar, it seems that he has no more hope of playing at PSG next season because he is often injured, at the moment he is also still injured and will be back in June so yes he will be absent against Lyon.

So yes, even though in the match Lens will not be easy to win, then a draw is enough for Lens to maintain its position in third place in the Ligue 1 standings.

Lens certainly cannot lose this match. But another thing is they are also in a better form compared to Rennes. I know we are talking about Lens not closing this match, but at the same time, Rennes cannot also lose the match as well. Because if they lose they can go down in terms of positions on the table. So this is going to be a very competitive match between the teams which are at the top of the table right now. This can very well be a draw.

[CLS63]

Mbappe had a really great night with France last night as he scored 2 goals and made an assist. He is such an amazing player at this very young age. He is already the captain of France national team as well. These are all big responsibilities for him but it doesn't matter for him anyway. His performance is still mesmerizing and I think we will see more of it coming in his future years in his career.

He is literally the most important player for PSG so I wonder how long they will be able to keep him. Because being eliminated in the Champions League this early must have made Mbappe really frustrated. Real Madrid would be in line to sign him for sure.

[Zackgeno96]

But even without Mbappe, PSG will apparently easily become champions. They are too good for that. Yet things went wrong 2 years ago when Lille won the championship. In that season, PSG took things seriously too late, but Lille continued to win games and that cost PSG dearly. The competition has long ceased to be a challenge, not even fun for other teams who can basically only play for 2nd place at the top. In itself, becoming 2nd is also fine since you are also assured of participation in the CL. Mbappe will still be in a good mood himself, since he performs every week and it is not his fault that PSG goes out every time at the CL. This year he was unlucky to have an injury in the first game. But he also needs more challenge in the competition.

[bekti3]

Lens certainly cannot lose this match. But another thing is they are also in a better form compared to Rennes. I know we are talking about Lens not closing this match, but at the same time, Rennes cannot also lose the match as well. Because if they lose they can go down in terms of positions on the table. So this is going to be a very competitive match between the teams which are at the top of the table right now. This can very well be a draw.

Lens are now starting to return to their good form after mid-season their performance declined slightly but Rennes also clearly cannot be underestimated, especially with their slick performance last week by beating PSG, which clearly will be high confidence for them.
This is a big match that is worth waiting for, especially with the current points condition, it is clear that this will also determine their next match.

[Slow death]

He played so well against Netherlands and considering all the other teams will be much worse in Ligue 1, we can easily say that there aren't really any team that can stop him.

this season PSG are not doing well, things are not going well for PSG and there is a big risk that PSG will not be able to become champion, look at PSG's performance in the last few games:

PSG 4 - 2 Nantes

in this game PSG managed to win, but look at how many goals PSG conceded, they conceded 2 goals and Nantes is not even a team that is fighting to win Ligue 1, you might think: it's something normal and it only happened in this game

but look at the following game:

stay brestois 1 - 2 PSG

PSG conceded 1 goal here, but I watched this game and PSG were very close to a draw, it was a difficult victory, but then who is the Brestois stadium? It is a team that is struggling not to be in the relegation zone, but again you might think that it only happened in this game, but see the result of the game below

PSG 0 - 2 Rennes

in this game they lost and failed to score at least 1 goal, they lost at home. As you can see, PSG is not the same strong team in the past that people were convinced will win Ligue 1 without any problems, this season things are different, there is no guarantee that they can win Ligue 1 as long as they have this coach.

Neymar has been missing many games just as usual, he never really stayed healthy any season ever, so that is why he was missing once again and I believe that Messi can help to a point but he is not going to be the key, Mbappe will get them that title for sure.

to this day I still don't understand why PSG doesn't sell him since he doesn't play most games of the season, PSG is spending a lot of money on him

Neymar actually has a slightly worse forehead. Because he was injured for most of the season, missing important matches and affecting his career drastically. Due to such injuries, the PSG team has had a great negative effect in some matches of this season.

[Velvet78]

Marseille - Montpellier is going to be the opening game this time. Normally Marseille should be able to win this game nicely. They are really successful in their head-to-head games as well. Besides they won in their away game against Montpellier as well therefore it would be surprising if Marseille lose points this time. This is important for Marseille too of course.

Because Marseille are trying to secure their current position at least. Because it is very important to qualify for the Champions League group stage. I expect Marseille to get a decent win.
