French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Obviously saying that Nice will win this game is a no brainer. There is no possible way for Angers to get this one, they rarely get any points to begin with and I doubt that it would be this one that they will start winning.

Well, that is, if we talk from data and statistics. In fact, we agree that Nice's chances of winning this match are not likely to experience significant obstacles. also, as I have previously reviewed for these two teams. that these two teams, have very different gaps. I'm pretty sure, though, that there are many of us who would bet for Nice. it's just that, in football sometimes something we think is easy before. Not infrequently, the results are beyond expectations.

However, the odds do not look like it worths anything and it is better to pair that up with some other games. Like for example if you wager that but also Marseille to win and PSG to win, and Monaco to win, when you have those 4 games as wins, the odds become a bit better. I like to do it that way, not go with like 10+ games, that sounds crazy, but having about 4 games that are sure things makes it 3-4 odds together and that's a good return.

Right, isn't this what we often do, or gamblers do. So, there are many options when it comes to betting. like you said, having 4 matches as wins, the odds are a bit better. moreover, if we bet on the parlay option. like the options you said for the seeded team match :

Marseille vs Montpellier

Monaco vs Strasbourg

PSG vs Lyon

all the top teams are more favored to win this match. especially if we review the teams that will compete this week. the probability of winning is pretty good, just like you said. but don't forget, you also have to check whether the odds offered are ideal. otherwise, you can choose another option for this bet. can be on over / under, or something else.
btw, consider the Angers vs Nice match. did not rule out that the result could end in a draw.

Zidane is still giving so many questions about what will be his new club. It seems like that if he was also interested to join with real madrid. I think that if it's quite better for PSG to get another option other than him. So many clubs rejected by him.

Psg must also focus in the match against lyon. PSG shall not lose other points again.

Zidane is currently talk of the town about his future because nothing is clear where he is going to stay for his future with most chances as things going PSG have no positive change for hiring him as coach because he is not interested with his priority is France national team but if he has not change then things can turn into any way Juventus and Real Madrid both are not going to be had enough space because both are doing good under their current coaches but PSG is again and again in limelight for him because most chances they will cut ties with current coach in coming days and who could be new It's currently nothing clear.
 
But, here if we have few clear things about PSG then we can expect him he will be here for the job but right now no one can predict about this because all are just own views and no one can give perfect news about his future.

I think Zidane can be an experience option for PSG but still, they have to try holding the players in the team after they started working with Zidane, right now due to the bad performance and bad situation in PSG many players are about to leave team, so even if they hire Zidane and they can't keep players they won't have any better situation in next season.

What I know is that Zidane has his own criteria for players who will be in his squad. So I think there is no problem when Paris Saint Germain loses a lot of players, as long as Zidane has his own chosen players (if Zidane really becomes Paris Saint Germain coach). However, the problem is that until now Zidane has not opened his voice whether he is more interested in team A or team B, even several national teams are interested in him.

@X-Ray one thing is for sure that he’s not coming to Juventus because of the recent scandals, and I believe that Real Madrid is a good option because I feel that they’ll fire Carlo for failure to win the La Liga. Lastly when it comes to PSG he may only be tempted if he gets a very lucrative contract, but even then it won’t be guaranteed that he’ll come.

[zuzie]

I think zidane is the perfect coach for a team like psg and if he join i don't think mbappe or any other player will leave the club, zidane is a great coach and everyone will surely wish to be under his supervision, psg administration must do everything to convince zidane joining the club

Why? Don't we want to see first how Christophe Galtier manages Paris Saint Germain, Galtier is not even one year coach the Paris Saint Germain team.
Paris Saint Germain have also not lost their title in the French 1 League since Galtier's arrival, so what is the right reason to get rid of Christophe Galtier?
If it's because of Paris Saint Germain's failure in the UCL, in my opinion it's less effective

[Slow death]

I do think that galtier may be sacked by PSG anytime.

I don't see Galtier being fired from PSG so soon, at least this season he won't be fired, even if I and many other people don't see him bringing good results, but PSG management still believes in the work he is doing in the PSG or else they don't fire him because maybe PSG's management doesn't want to spend a lot of money on contract termination, in my opinion PSG should go after zidane or the former coach of bayern galtier would be better options now for PSG, or they could also hire antonio conte who I believe would bring good results for PSG.

if PSG's problem is players' indiscipline then in my opinion the only coach who can put limits on PSG players would be jose mourinho, he would undoubtedly solve PSG's defense problems and PSG players would behave well mainly neymar who has not behaved well off the field, PSG needs to be restructured, is spending a lot of money on salaries but does not have good results when it comes to champions league games and even in Ligue 1 it does not have a good defense and has an improvised attack , for example now without neymar they have a great deficiency in the attack, I don't know messi will want to stay in psg until he retires at this rate, I have doubts about that

Im not sure about that. There is still a scandal related to the CR7 that has not been solved yet by the club. I expect another sanction to come for juventus but it's not also decreasing the chance for zizou to join juventus again. It was his old club when he was actively playing as football player. Im not sure if perez wanna try to accept him back again but i do agree with you what you hava stated about zizou and real madrid.

There is also another name that appears to be a possible candidate to replace galtier and he will be the special one. I don't even know whether mourinho will be interested in coaching PSG. As far as i know, mourinho is linked to several clubs including PSG.
The problem is it seems like that special one is not even interested to leave roma. He prefers to stay there even longer. It's better if PSG will be try to get naglesmann as a new coach. Naglesmann may able to complete all of his jobs in PSG perfectly once he will be signed as a new coach as a replacement for galtier.

[el kaka22]

I think Zidane has clearly stated that he wanted a rest, being able to win 3 UCL in a row is a big deal and he feels like if he retires right now, he could stay as someone who has been great when he was a manager and done, not an all time great obviously because of longevity issue, but great when he did.

However, if he comes back, and he starts to lose, which he will lose eventually, even if he manages to win one with PSG, that won't be a single season and he won't leave, which will cause a lot of drop on his amazing short period. He probably doesn't want to give that up and that is why he is not doing it, after all why would he manage PSG and lose? What would he gain by that?

[Bobrox]

I don't see Galtier being fired from PSG so soon, at least this season he won't be fired, even if I and many other people don't see him bringing good results, but PSG management still believes in the work he is doing in the PSG or else they don't fire him because maybe PSG's management doesn't want to spend a lot of money on contract termination, in my opinion PSG should go after zidane or the former coach of bayern galtier would be better options now for PSG, or they could also hire antonio conte who I believe would bring good results for PSG.

After eliminated from UEFA Champion League have many rumors about Christophe Galtier as PSG manager position will sack or not, but until today the rumor about sacked Galtier have gone and seems PSG management keep trust for him keep become PSG manager maybe next season.

Seems not have chance for signing Zidane because he has rejected many team offering from Manchester United and he still waiting become France head coach but need waiting for longer time. Actually, Antonio Conte is the best option for PSG but can't guarantee will be success in Champion League after failure with Tottenham Hotspur and eliminating on 16th round from AC Milan.

Because a big team like PSG should have a better coach, because just winning a title in Ligue 1 won't be enough for a team as big as PSG. Also, previously PSG recruited Christophe Galtier and it seemed that at that time Zidane had been offered to coach PSG but unfortunately, at that time Zidane turned down the offer.

But maybe, PSG really have to make even greater efforts to get Zidane to accept the offer to become PSG coach. Because after all, Zidane is a French citizen and Zidane should be able to make PSG have a better chance on the Champions League stage.

There is some truth in looking at them in Ligue 1, but most people see Ligue 1 alone as not being enough for a club as big as them. So they consider Paris Saint Germain to be a failure when they fail in the Champions League, which is why Zidane's name appears to be the coach of Paris Saint Germain. There is no doubt that the main goal of Paris Saint Germain is to win the Champions League which they never got.
Zidane is a great coach, the Champions League is no stranger to his name, because he achieved great success with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Angers vs Nice

I think Nice need to steal points at home to Angers so they have additional points to shift Lille's position in the standings. In head to head Nice is always ahead with wins but most of them end with a thin score. This is quite doubtful for Nice's victory after in their previous game they only drew against Lorient. Meanwhile, Angers are having a very bad season they haven't won in the last 20 matches in Ligue 1, moreover they are currently at the bottom of the relegation zone should not make it difficult for Nice to beat them.

Even though Nice is not in a good state after they have lost many draws in their last 5 matches, Angers is a club that cannot be relied upon. I don't mean to belittle them, but what they have shown by only feeling 2 wins, 4 draws and the rest have ended in defeat from the 28 matches they have played is really bad. I don't doubt Nice in this match to get 3 points. This is a big chance for them to win again.

of course Nice will be more favored, what you say is true. even Angers is unlikely to get out of the relegation zone this season. even though the winning points will not change Nice's position in the standings. but getting this winning point is also important for Nice to maintain its position. 6-10 position in the current standings is still very likely to have changes. because with a small difference in points it makes competition from several teams very interesting to be in the middle of the standings.

Both are still very much needed if PSG really wants the PSG team to be better. Because with an experienced coach and also highly talented players in a team, of course the PSG team will be better than now so there will be better potential in taking advantage of opportunities to win in different competitions in the coming seasons. So this is a task that PSG management must immediately think about for a better future for the team.

But indeed, seeing from Zidane's previous reasons that he was still focused on the French National Team, I think it is still ambiguous.
The conditions for this coach are difficult to predict and when Zidane tries to train again, of course Madrid will not remain silent, it seems that Ancelotti's future will not be long either.

[CLS63]

To be honest, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Galtier getting sacked after his first season with the team ends already. Because we have witnessed similar examples so far like Bayern Munich's sacking Nagelsmann all of a sudden. They did it even in a critical time period of the season. Galtier couldn't even lead PSG to the Champions League finale. They said goodbye to the tournament very early.

Instead of Galtier they should find a much more reliable and successful manager. Zidane is the most speculated name of course and it is natural. Zidana wasn't thinking of managing a team before but maybe he can say yes to PSG.

[terrorJR]

With the current condition of Angers, which has always been a barn for goals for several clubs, of course this is another reason that Nice is the favourite.
But indeed, looking at Nice's current condition, which has always drawn in the last few matches, this is also another consideration, especially if you look at the results of their first meeting, only a narrow victory that Nice created at that time. Hopefully Nice can take advantage of this condition to break the unfavorable results for them.

Even with the current situation of Nice and the bad performance they had recently and they are in 7th place in the table but still, this can be a safe bet to say Nice can beat Angers. Because Angers lost all the games they had recently and they earned only 10 points during this season while they had 28 matches, that's why I think betting on Angers can be a safe bet.

Seeing his condition, something like this is most likely to happen, but we don't know what Nasser Al-Khaelafi will do. By bringing in an unexpected coach like Galtier they should be aware that conditions like this with them who will only be in Ligue 1 will definitely happen, but indeed this is a bit outrageous if a club as big as PSG with quite luxurious players can only win one trophy.

[emrecemsan]

After failing about their Champions League target once again I wonder if PSG would have a problem on keeping some of their stars in the summer. I don't know maybe I'm exaggerating the situation but they have been targeting the same title for many seasons in the end. Even after completing an incredible attacking trio like Messi-Mbappe-Neymar they are still unable to get even close to the title. Their performance against Bayern Munich wasn't good enough I'm afraid.

I think this would depend on if they sign the right manager for this team. For now Messi intends to take his time before making a decision about his future. Maybe Mbappe wouldn't leave already but I'm not sure about Neymar. Because there have been rumours about Neymar as well.

[Docnaster]

Zidane is still giving so many questions about what will be his new club. It seems like that if he was also interested to join with real madrid. I think that if it's quite better for PSG to get another option other than him. So many clubs rejected by him.

Psg must also focus in the match against lyon. PSG shall not lose other points again.

Zidane is currently talk of the town about his future because nothing is clear where he is going to stay for his future with most chances as things going PSG have no positive change for hiring him as coach because he is not interested with his priority is France national team but if he has not change then things can turn into any way Juventus and Real Madrid both are not going to be had enough space because both are doing good under their current coaches but PSG is again and again in limelight for him because most chances they will cut ties with current coach in coming days and who could be new It's currently nothing clear.
 
But, here if we have few clear things about PSG then we can expect him he will be here for the job but right now no one can predict about this because all are just own views and no one can give perfect news about his future.

If Zinedine Zidane decides to take up the managerial position of Paris Saint Germain in the summer, most fans the french club will be very happy to see that happen because he has an established record of knowing how to win the UEFA Champions after winning the competition in there consecutive times with Real Madrid.

PSG needs manager with champions league experience because that's the trophy that has eluded the club despite the club owners huge investment in the club and Zidane is the best man for the job if you ask me

There are two points here it's a underestimating or wake-up call for the PSG because still we have nearly 10 rounds left in this season and difference is just 7 points which is reachable for Marseille because in soccer near end of season anything is possible and situation in PSG is also not good because too many rumors about few things are also creating mess-up here .....

Indeed, 7 points are not safe points to survive because it is still reachable. But I think that PSG must be bale to control and manage it, and will not let this go, or will not lose their chance to be still at the first standing. If they  are not able to do it, indeed as you said, this is gonna be trash and it would be so embarrassing. That is why I am not sure this happening.
But related to how they performed and must weak up from their current situation, yes, exactly, they must do it. Moreover, after being eliminated from the UCL, they seemed to have lost motivation again so they had to spur the motivation of each of their players back, to ward off all the bad rumors that always existed. Especially with the abundance of football stars at the club.
