French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Even though I expected a lot from Marseille in the match after this international break, the reality must say otherwise because they only managed to secure one point in this match.
Montpellier played really well and I was quite amazed by the way they played in this game. Their defensive scheme was very good, even Marseille had quite a hard time penetrating their defensive area. On the other hand, they were quite patient in defending and forced opportunities with quick counterattacks which proved effective. Even if they have weak possession of the ball but in terms of opportunities I think they are pretty even.

The game that was quite good was shown by Montpellier, this match should have benefited Marseille as the host of this match but indeed what is expected so that it is not far from the top of the PSG standings will now be even further away, but if you look at Montpelelier's performance it is indeed in a different state very good, seen from the few matches they previously won. a draw in this match is a natural thing for Marseille.

the next game is the game between Auxerre and Troyes, the game of the team that is in the relegation zone, I think I will bet on Auxerre, not because the ranking is one level higher than Troyes but for this I really use instinct in betting. lol

Marseille reduced their points difference with PSG by 1 point with a draw against Montpellier, the in-form team of the last few weeks. We can say that such a loss of points in the week that PSG will play against lyon has brought them to a level that will now take them out of the championship race. Marseille was the superior side throughout the match, but it must be said that they could not capitalize on the positions they found. Despite having 68 percent of the ball possession, they had 13 shots. The only goal they scored came from a penalty.

This is a very bad result for them, because they have droped another point, which now gives Paris Saint Germain the hope and confident that the league title is there's, because they are the favourite to win the league title this season, but with the way Marseille have be playing so far the season, they have be the only team that have be challenging Paris Saint Germain in the title race, but with there result lately, means they are now out of the title race and what they should be thinking about now is how to remember in the position they are for them to be able to qualify for champions League football come next season.

Marseille actually lost their opportunity. They were doing very well, but with this loss of points their chances have diminished and we can say that it's over for them. Yes, they were doing well throughout the year and they were in a head-to-head race with PSG. But they lost a lot of unnecessary points and gradually dropped out of the race. Obviously they could have won this year but it didn't happen. They should have won this game for sure. From now on, we can say that the championship belongs to PSG.

Really disappointing result for Marseille, massive opportunity to close the gap on PSG missed. If they have any hope of winning the title they really can’t be dropping points against teams like Montpellier, especially when they’re playing at home.

[Velvet78]

It wasn't an impressive level of performance by Marseille unfortunately. They were really bad at finding the target first of all. They had so many goal attempts but only two of them were on target. Montpellier managed to resist them well until the final whistle. I assume PSG would beat Lyon and consolidate their position more.

PSG aren't a very consistent team this season actually but Marseille are just making things easier for PSG to make it to the league title.

Actually, in this case I'm more looking at their chances in 2nd place like the previous season because for the champion it's clearly a little complicated but regardless, this match is not very good for them.
Now, aside from the competition and sticking to PSG regardless, their position is no longer comfortable because Lens is now ready to compete for position 2.

Montpellier's performance in the last few games has been very good and they also deserved this result but it's a bit sad with the chances that Marseille actually had.
For Troyes and Auxerre, I don't dare to speculate much about this match because, judging by their current conditions, they can actually be said to be the same and the possibility of a draw is also quite high, but I don't really understand the odds that are too flashy for home at the moment.

That was the case for several years actually except the one that Lille got the title from them, then everything get back to "normal" which is PSG missing a point and their rivals missing three! Then we wonder why PSG are always dominating Ligue 1.

It can even be said that the same season as LOSC 2 last year will very rarely happen again because in truth nothing can really stop PSG regardless of how bad they are in other competitions but for Ligue 1 it seems that they have completely mastered it and there is no no club can withstand that.
Now Marseille is slowly moving away and a possible 9 point gap is now happening for PSG and Marseille.

I am very interested in the Auxerre vs Troyese match. Because this match is very important for both teams. Both teams are currently in the relegation zone. And the difference in points between the two is only 2. If they get 3 points in today's match, they will be able to get out of the relegation zone. As the three points in today's match are very important for both. So the players of both the teams will try their best to win today's match. Although both the teams are relatively weak, I think today's match will be competitive.

Sounds weird, but their home form is exactly the reason why they are so far behind PSG and practicly lost all chances to win the title. Last time they beat anyone home (counting league games only) was Rennes more than 2 months ago and after that they had 2 draws and 3 losses.

Lucky for them Lens plays against Rennes so they might stay at the 2nd spot for one more week.

[Renampun]

Montpellier's performance in the last few games has been very good and they also deserved this result but it's a bit sad with the chances that Marseille actually had.

I was quite surprised by the final result of the match between Marseille vs Montpellier, even though the opportunity for Marseille to get closer to PSG was wide open but they failed to take advantage of it, but I also admit that Montpellier's defense was very solid, even Marseille had difficulty penetrating that defense.

For Troyes and Auxerre, I don't dare to speculate much about this match because, judging by their current conditions, they can actually be said to be the same and the possibility of a draw is also quite high, but I don't really understand the odds that are too flashy for home at the moment.

auxerre and troyes are both in the relegation zone and victory is an important thing for both teams, but i am more confident with auxerre's performance, they will definitely win.

[Jody.Drummer]

The match has been going on for half an hour but Marseille still has not shown that they deserve to be the winner in this match. They certainly controlled the match, but how many chances did they seize this time? almost no. If they continued like this they would really lose to Montpellier. There is still plenty of time for them to change positions. So they have to take advantage of the time they have now.

Marseille has lost there last two games out of five recently, so I was expecting them to respond in a positive way, I was very surprised when I saw the score that they where lossing 0-1 to Montpellier who are in 12 position in the League table. Marseille where lucky to get a penalty before the half time to equalise the goal, but I think Marseille really need a win in this game to bounce back to winning ways, it is not going to be easy for hem with the way they are playing at the moment, but I really hope they can turn things around in the second half.

It's quite hard to believe, but considering the condition of Montpellier they also deserved this result. It's just that this is not very good for Marseille that they should get 3 points in this match.
This match actually went as they expected in terms of ball possession and the opportunities it had, it's just that the players from Montpellier were also very good at defending which made this make Marseille throw away their chances to catch PSG.

Possession of the ball is not most important indicator, since Marseille only shot the target twice in the entire match, even Manpelier made three shots. For PSG this is a good outcome, now they have a great chance to increase the gap to nine points. PSG will play Lyon tomorrow and even though Lyon are not in better shape now, they are able to take points from PSG.

I don't agree with you, you said Lyon was able to steal points from PSG.
I think PSG will be able to win this match because statistically PSG is still very superior compared to Lyon.
Lyon is now in 10th position, while PSG are still dreaming of the English league standings.
PSG itself is superior because they are playing at home.

[rendravolt]

I still can't think why Marseille failed to win at home this time against Montpellier. The guest Montpellier even took the lead quickly through a goal in the 12th minute and it suddenly surprised me how fragile the Marseille defense was. It should have been an easy match for Marseille to secure an additional 3 points at home and they fell short of that target.

Even though statistically the match Marseille controlled the game with 68% ball possession, but they could only score a goal through the penalty spot in the minutes towards the end of the first half. A draw meant that the two teams had to be willing to share points and for Marseille they failed to close the gap on points from PSG.

What happened to Marseille in this match was far from what I expected. The reason is I expect them to win, and actually they also have the ability to win matches if we look at their overall strength. But then again, this is football and we don't know for sure what will happen. It's true that if you dominate the match it doesn't mean you can win the match.

I don't think the Lyon team is weak. However, the Lyon team is not as strong as the victory against PSG. PSG is the favorite team in this match and they have more chances to win. PSG's performance is a bit erratic but I don't think they will drop points against Lyon. Their performance against Rennes in the last match was poor. Hopefully, PSG will learn from the last defeat. And in this match, they will try to perform better.
However, it cannot be said that there is absolutely no possibility of Lyon getting points against PSG. Lyon has drawn all their last three matches. Against PSG, Lyon will aim to draw the match and share the points. So PSG will have to play very carefully. PSG will lose points if there is any mistake in the match.

Actually, in French League, the match between Auxerre and Troyes is more important than the PSG games, because on top of the table, we know because of the better players PSG got and the gap they have to other teams they are going to win the title this season however another reason PSG winning the title is the low performance of other teams, but for teams like Troyes and Auxerre they are in danger zone and they need to win to survive.

Marseille has continue their poor records at home that after draw result against Montpellier yesterday they had passed 5 matches without the winning results at home and probably Marseille cannot last in the second positions because Lens could be overtake their positions if they can able to overcomes Rennes today

For the match between Auxerre vs Troyes and actually based from their head to head statistics i can see these teams already met since in Ligue 2 and both teams can be defeated each other which mean there was no team who dominant and i found interesting records for Troyes away matches records that they got the better records while playing away
And both teams are really required points because they have same mission to survive in Ligue 1 and indeed it's really difficult to decide which teams will be the winner of this match but indeed draw could be fair result for them because their recent performance is not so different and here is the odds for those teams

Auxerre @1.94
Draw @3.55
Troyes @4.10

In fact, it was very difficult for them to break through the defenses built by Montpellier. On the contrary, Montpelier could have carried out a more effective attack even though they were under a lot of pressure from Marseille. Of course, this result is very detrimental for Mamrseille, in fact they should be able to take advantage of the match to achieve a real victory. Unfortunately they failed to do so, lucky they still won 1 point.
