French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[CryptoBuds]

The Lens team is far ahead of PSG in terms of performance.

How is Lens far ahead of psg, i am sure you are just making spam posts without even caring, posts like this is what makes other members call this board a spam mega thread, even when there are good members who understand football that post here. Lens are third, and they are on 69 points, 6 points less than psg that are surely going to win the league.

Lens vs Marseille is second vs third, i feel this game is going to be a draw, the two teams are so close to qualifying for the champions league, and i am sure they will get it. Monaco is in fourth and they have to be careful because Lille is just behind them and if they get any opportunity, they will go above Monaco.

The point difference between Marseille and Lens is only 1. The team that wins this match will be able to occupy the second place in the table. They can also close the points gap with PSG. Marseille are now 5 points behind PSG. And as weak as PSG is now, it looks like PSG will drop points in the upcoming matches.

I have checked Marseille vs Lens head-to-head past match results. Lens has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head matches. And Marseille managed to win just one match. Moreover, this match is Lens' home match. I consider this Lens team as a favorite today.

[posi]

no team is the favorites in this game if you ask me. Both teams are close enough to each other for the whole season that right now only 1 point separates them and this is why we will have to wait and see who could win.

Just like you, I also think that there is no favorite in this match as in my previous response that we will most likely see a draw. But if we look at the betting market, RC Lens is the favorite here.
That's because in their meeting they managed to beat Marseille and this time they will play at home, maybe people think Lens will win even by 2 goals. Whatever it is, I choose to avoid betting on this match because there are so many considerations.

This match, Lens versus Marseille, is going to be almost like a decider of which team is going to be in the second position of the table. I also agree with everyone here that there is not going to be a favourite in this match. I am also not going to be surprised if this is a draw. But I would expect both of them to go for the win. There is also no chance to actually differentiate these teams based on goal difference because that is also very close for both of these teams. Honestly, I just want this match to be competitive which I am quite sure that this match is actually going to be.

Reims got back to winning ways after beating Lille 1-0 at home. We know very well that Reims is very strong at home and it is a good result to add to their winning record at home. Reims has slumped in the last 5 matches and only got 1 win, obviously it's not a good result and I think this win can be a great way to get the next win. As for Lille, they failed to shift Monaco on the standings because of this defeat and of course Monaco is quite calm about Lille's defeat.

9 minutes passed and Lens was shocked by Sanches' goal. Luckily, VAR annulled this goal.
Now the match will be even more exciting because of course there will be some good opportunities considering this match is important for both clubs given their position which is still very close in the race for second place.
Marseille are still dominating but of course Lens don't want this to be a loss for them either.

Lens and Marseille are playing. The two teams have been attacking each other brilliantly so far. Looking at the style of the game, it is understood that both teams will play well enough. But so far it is not possible to say which team will secure the victory as both the teams are performing well.

Manchester City not linked yet with Lionel Messi indeed easy for signing him because have been free agent player, right now have Barcelona rumor will signing Lionel Messi but they can't pay higher salary and faced financial problem when registering Messi in main squad. Al Hilal have give fantastic offering for Lionel Messi but still not answer yet will accept or reject after not reach agreement extended contract with  PSG. I want to see PSG make another negotiation how to make Lionel Messi want extended one or two years later contract with PSG and stay there for several years later. He has good and stable performance on every season with PSG and seems most disappointed if PSG have loss Messi next season.

I don't think we will watch Messi at PSG next season. Whatever the deal, I think Messi will not accept it, it will not be easy to get through when they are currently having a problem with the team.
The offer that Al Hilal will make is truly unbelievable. I don't think Messi would want to leave such a large amount of money. He may have learned from the mistakes Ronaldo has made in recent times, but the money mentioned is too much to resist

Right now, situation is unclear about Lionel Messi in Europe because most chances he will leave PSG, and then we have no chance for him in Barcelona as well and no other club can afford him which mean his visit to Saudi Arab is just like Cristiano Ronaldo footsteps with huge amount is coming in his bank account, and he wants to cash out before retirement which could be good for him as well.
In last few years he achieved all which any player can dream about, so now it's time to do for money as well which can bring him as one of the most paid player in soccer history and with this amount even he can buy any club in UEFA as well in near future as we have few other top players done so currently nothing is clear but most chances his career is having end with his last visit and now suspension from his current club PSG for few matches.

Lionel Messi is surely not staying in PSG. He is certainly not going to take any more disrespect from PSG in my opinion. Now I believe he should take up the offer from Al Hilal. The money is certainly a lot. But at the same time, he can also think that he has some more time left as a good top-level footballer. He might want to play in a top-level club as well. But he will not be getting the amount of money that he is being offered by Al Hilal for sure. If he has learned anything from the mistakes that Ronaldo has made I believe he should learn that he certainly should not go back to Barcelona.

Lens team is leading 1 0 after an hour against marseille this will be agreat result if they manage to get the three points because they will get marseille second spot but it wont be easy marseille team is dominating the second half and they seem really dangerous i doubt the game will end with this score.

[Jossque]

Today there were 3 very important matches that will affect the fate of the league. The first one was Nice-Rennes. The first half ended in a goalless draw and the goals came in the second half. The home team took the lead with a goal at the beginning of the second half and took control of the match from there. If Rennes had won this match, they could have moved up to 5th place.
The other match was played between Reims and Lille. Reims have had a good season this year and have given their opponents a hard time and they continue to do so. Lille returned from this away match without any points.
The last and most important match of the day was the battle for 2nd place. Lens is 2-0 ahead in the Lens-Marsille fight and now it looks like Lens will take the 2nd place with these results.

Reims has almost done the same as last season. they don't change much. lost a lot of points in several matches and was not very productive in scoring goals.
maybe they will not change much like last season with a mid-table finish. it is still too difficult to compete with other teams that are currently superior.

In another match, Marseille struggled against hosts Lens. currently, Marseille is 2-0 down and that will make a change in position in the standings. at least the top 3 Ligue 1 teams will still be fighting hard in the battle for the trophy this season. they don't have much of a points gap and are nearing the end of the season which will only get more and more tense.

Lens is 2- Nil up right now and I believe they will take all three points tonight. A win here places them second with two points ahead of their tonight opponent. This is what I have always wanted for Lens this season. They have been very good this season and they deserve to be in the second position. Actually both Marseille and Lens deserve the second position, but I love an underdog story and I'm sentimental towards Lens.

Lionel Messi is surely not staying in PSG. He is certainly not going to take any more disrespect from PSG in my opinion. Now I believe he should take up the offer from Al Hilal.

Ronaldo and Messi are two very different players. Messi is still one of the best players on the planet and you want him to go to Qatar? Messi still has a lot to offer, all he has to do is reduce his salary and top clubs in Europe will come after him.
I'll take a reduced salary over playing in Qatar at the moment. He can still give two years at top level in Europe. It shouldn't always be about the money.

Who would have expected that this is going to happen again and again that one team can get so close to PSG? Now if you don't succeed this season when PSG offers so many chances to fully close the gap, when are you going to do it then?

With all the drama that is now going on, Messi being suspended and there is even more trouble going on behind the scenes, it would be awesome to see them lose one more game and to see Lens win another one. The problem would still be the goal difference, but at least it would cause some good excitement in the league.

Anyone thinks that we are going to see Messi play one more time for PSG? He can also be a person who is quite stoic. I wonder if the leading guys in the soccer world of Saudi Arabia and Qatar get along with each other or whether there is contempt involved? Does Messi's journey to Saudi Arabia have a deeper, more problematic meaning?

Lens was lucky today because Marseille scored the first goal in this game and the goal was not accepted by the VAR accepting this goal could change everything for Marseille and they could play the rest of the game in a better situation, however, after losing this game Marseille lost their place on the table to Lens and now Lens in the second teams of the league.

Angers vs Monaco match is going to start after some time today in French Soccer league. But in this match I will enjoy playing with the support of Monaco team. Because in this match I can see that Monaco is now in 4th position in the points table. So hopefully  Monaco team has a big chance to win in this match. Angers team is a very weak team now, we all don't know that. Goal keeper of Angers team has the worst performance because of which Angers can't win any match.

Monaco have a Ligue 1 match today. In this match, Monaco is very likely because Monaco is much ahead of the opposition in terms of performance. And Monaco have secured victory in most of the previous matches against Monaco's opposition.

I will take a gamble and predict the Auxerre vs Clermont match that there are interesting things in this match and can be taken advantage of to bet on this match. first of all for Clermont is a team that is in 10th place in this standings and has a winning streak of 5x matches unbeaten. but on the other hand it's strange that bookies are more favorite in Auxerre, maybe because this match took place at home to Auxerre which gives Auxerre a slightly bigger chance of winning.
but nevertheless for me Clermont is superior in this match because the performance of Clermont players and their tactical strategy is very good and this also gives a chance to win in this match.

on the other hand Auxerre is currently also having very good performance even though they can only win 3x in this match. I think coach Auxerre has to put in the best defensive strategy not to give Clermont any chance to score. because after all this will be a very interesting match and the bookies provide quite large odds to be able to take advantage of this match.
I predict Clermont will win or draw.

I don't think Reims can win against Lille, munetsi's only goal in the 21st minute, made Reims win at their home ground. it's a shame that Lille made a good opportunity to stop in position 4, if monaco loses to Angers today then the chance for Reims to stop in position 4 is quite big. marseille failed to win from lens, which made marseille have to be willing to be in 3rd place but the chance for marseille to return to 2nd place is still quite large.

Lille had some outstanding performances in some matches. The team has some players who are full of extraordinary skills. But a true match against Lille Reims did not guarantee victory. Reims managed to score a goal but Lille were unable to convert the goal to lose the match.

I think that Messi should think of Manchester City as a second option after being free agent in the summer. He would surely prioritize returning to home, Barcelona. However there can still be some hindrances for Messi to go back there. FFP rules in the La Liga can block the way for Barcelona to make this transfer happen. Otherwise Barcelona also wants to sign him again and Xavi also agrees with the board.

If the deal between these two sides doesn't happen then I think Messi should think of Manchester City before PSG - I guess that he wouldn't like to leave Europe soon. Maybe he will need to adapt to a new team again but there is a big difference at this point. The difference is that he can adapt much faster to Manchester City's game plan compared to his first times at PSG.

Because he is already very familiar with Guardiola's system and he can feel like he is playing for Barcelona nearly.

Even when Messi was still in his prime, Guardiola came up with all sorts of excuses when asked if he wanted Messi to move to City. Now Messi and City are two different dimensions - he will never be taken there even if he pays them money and not vice versa. When you write that Messi should consider moving to City, it sounds absolutely crazy. It seems that you are poorly aware of the current state of affairs in football.

I'm poorly aware of it? When I said that of course I meant that Messi should consider in case Guardiola states that he would like to see him in his team.    If he doesn't then there is no problem. Messi can just return to Barcelona depending on FFP topic or he can just continue with PSG for at least one more year. I just don't expect him to leave Europe as of this summer.

But after one season I assume he would join a Saudi Arabia team just as Ronaldo did to secure the future of his family as well. Because those offers are really hard to reject normally although this kind of players already make a huge sum of money in Europe.

If Lionel Messi joins the club in Saudi Arabia, then there will be more fight with Cristiano Ronaldo. As we saw Barcelona and Real Madrid fight back when Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were in La Liga. We can see the same rivalry if Lionel Messi joins Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia or another club.

If PSG don't manage Messi well, this season might be the end of him in the club. Anything that makes Messi leaves PSG he will be going to Saudi Arabia league, he is needed over there badly and he may have interest to play in Saudi Arabia league because the high wage that will be given to him.
