French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Even if this trio at PSG is no more there by the end of the summer I don't think this will cause Mbappe also to think of leaving sooner. He still looks very willing to play for PSG now. The power of money is also clearly seen of course but it isn't like there is no other team that can pay the same amount of money for him. For example Real Madrid can afford him if they would like now. Mbappe also had it in his mind to join Real Madrid in the future as he was dreaming of playing for them since his childhood.

But I still expect to see Mbappe here for one more year at worst. PSG have a lot of money to spend on transfers so they can build a new trio around Mbappe in that case surely.

While Mbappe was at PSG I haven't really seen him take PSG to the CL final, I think PSG need players who can be relied on to bring PSG to the CL final, there are many better young stars out there, I know a lot of expensive players at PSG but almost on average they are not really able to bring PSG to become a scary club, even PSG is always eliminated before the CL final.

I believe that if PSG are able to have new and quality players, they will not only be able to win the league but CL can be achieved easily. To be honest, I don't see any better achievement than winning the league. PSG needs to overhaul its players to be better. in the next season

Lens has 6 points below to PSG and it's difficult for them to compete for race title with PSG but for second place their opportunity is very wide open to finish in that position and now Lens will attempts to resumes their winning streak and collect 3 points from Reims and i think this is very possible to do so because just like i said before Lens is very strong at home and from all of home matches for this season they have more than 80% winning rates which is this is fantastic records for them because in the beginning of season most people didn't thought Lens can able reach to second position and for Lens squad i didn't see any important players got injured and all of their players will be available to play and Lens has odds @1.50 this is not the best odds but this could be safe picked

Just compare Lens and PSG and their players, and you easily understand PSG invested more and they got many players and coaches which makes it hard for a team like Lens to race with them for the title this season. I think if PSG fails to take the title in this season they will lose their reputation and players at the end of the season.

It will be a miracle in Ligue 1 if RC Lens can surpass PSG and get the title in the remaining 4 matches. If you look at the teams that will be against PSG in the remaining matches, it is very impossible for Lens to hope. Because PSG will only face Ajaccio, Auxerre, Strasbourg and Clermont Foot.

About the RC Lens Vs Reims match, I don't think that this match will be an easy match for RC Lens because the performance from Reims is very unpredictable, sometimes they play so badly but sometimes they play so well that they can hold PSG to a draw at the Parc des Princes. As for betting, I think it would be wiser to go for the handicap bet and choose +1 for Reims.

It's very hard to say that if messi will able to comeback again to the barcelona. Messi was also moving to the PSG caused by barcelona is not having good financial to pay him anymore. The bad condition of club has been forcing him to leave from barcelona.
The story will be different if barcelona would have good financial in the past. Messi may still able to stay in barcelona till this time caused by it has become iconic player for barcelona.

for some reason I'm a little surprised by Messi, who seems to be confused about finding a squad that has bigger assets to give a bigger salary, even though on the other hand, Messi is the best player, but for me there are still many who are better than Messi and seem arrogant and confused. to get into which squad Messi is.
what I see at PSG Messi is also not very consistent in contributing in every game instead it is Mbappe who dominates the team more in every match.

It seems that bad luck is coming one by one to the players who are labeled as stars, we know before that Cristiano Ronaldo had problems which in the end he had to terminate his contract with Manchester United, and now Lionel Messi is also having problems at Paris Saint Germain. Actually talking about the team that wants to bring in Messi, there are already several teams, including from the Saudi Arabian team who are ready to spend fantastic money. However, at this time there is no clear news regarding this matter, even Messi's father commented not to associate Messi with the team of Arab origin.

Lens has 6 points below to PSG and it's difficult for them to compete for race title with PSG but for second place their opportunity is very wide open to finish in that position and now Lens will attempts to resumes their winning streak and collect 3 points from Reims and i think this is very possible to do so because just like i said before Lens is very strong at home and from all of home matches for this season they have more than 80% winning rates which is this is fantastic records for them because in the beginning of season most people didn't thought Lens can able reach to second position and for Lens squad i didn't see any important players got injured and all of their players will be available to play and Lens has odds @1.50 this is not the best odds but this could be safe picked

Reims could be the next victim of Lens who got 3 consecutive wins in their last 3 matches. They will definitely be motivated to win this game, even if they won't be champions, if they can maintain their position in second place. Marseille is shadowing them in 3rd place by just 2 points, and they will surely be ready to unseat Lens if Lens fail to get a win in their game. This season is a very good opportunity for them to represent Ligue 1 in the Champions League.

[LUCKMCFLY]

very few chances existed in the first half from both teams. Lyon went 2-1 up which they did pretty well. made 3 shots on target and 2 became goals. Strasbourg seemed a little surprised by Lyon's first goal. and that left them a bit unfocused and ended up conceding another goal 3 minutes later.
in the second half, if you do not want to lose, Strasbourg must improve their game. both played discipline, but Strasbourg had to play more aggressively if they were to win.

Lyon getting a win in this game was a good result for them but they are still in 7th position no hope for Euro football yet, but if they can continue like this they will make it to Euro football next season, it was not an easy game for Lyon but they where the favorite to win this game, I picked them to win the game and they did, there only hope it to qualify for Euro football next season, because the league title is for Paris Saint German already who are topping the league with a 8 points difference from second place Marseille.

You are right, a 7th position makes them see that even if they are far away, the goal is not that far if they continue playing like this, the mathematical results are there and they can do everything possible to achieve it, but the only way they have is to win and win Lyon today I liked how they played,if they play like this and keep raising that level they can make a big difference.

Of course, we are waiting for the results of the other teams, we cannot help but think that PSG is the leader and it is very difficult for them to be displaced, but we have to wait.

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.

As I have seen the whole season, I think that the most suitable is Marseille, that they remain with the commitment to finish first in the next day, because they have everything to support it and I also hope that they have had to fix the problem they have regarding Due to their nervousness or that problem that they have when they need to win, it is as if they gave away the game, it is as if they were allergic to being in first place,with Everything that has happened at PSG it is so that they have made the most of all the Opportunities that was given to him, but it was not like that and fútbol does not Forgive.

Despite Lens' failure in the race for the Ligue 1 title, Lens' performance this season is very good and one step away from being able for Champions League ticket next season. Current standing, Lens 6 points behind left from PSG and I don't sure they can compete for Ligue 1 tittle because both team not face each other on four matches left. But consistency performance from Lens helped them with Champion League spot standing next season but should winning tonight games against Reims.

Seems possibility for Lens to get three points because Reims has underperformance 3 loss of last 4 games, difference with Lens performance success winning many games include with crucial match against Marseille last week.

As much as I would have liked to see Lens keep up the pressure for PSG for a little bit longer and perhaps even reach PSG for equal points, as much am I aware that Lens was a second league team two years ago. If they were now able to compete with PSG for the Ligue 1 title, I think that would be a bit too much at this point! As I said, not that I wouldn't like it, but we can't expect it. For PSG this season is trash. Even if they reach 90 points, how can that even be compared to Manchester City reaching 90 points in the Premier League? I think that is a good demonstration of the differences in strength between City and PSG.

[Ratash]

Reims game might prove difficult for Lens since the opponent is no push over Reims team is a decent team which in the last round beat Lille to stop the bad streak they were having they can cause problems to all teams but since today game will be in Lens stadium i think they will be the winners but with only a thin score in my opinion.

Lens has huge motivation to win this match regardless of whether they can catch PSG or not but of course the Lens team thinks realistically that becoming a champion will be very difficult but their target is to get a ticket to the UCL season by finishing in 2nd place in the final standings.
now Lens is only 2 points adrift of Marseille, so of course forcing Lens to continue to earn maximum points in the remaining matches this season to secure their position.

in quality and consistency Lens is much better than Reims, while Reims is very safe in the mid-table and there is no more motivation for them.
Moreover, this match will be played in front of Lens supporters, I have no hesitation in betting on Lens' victory in this match.

[rendravolt]

This week PSG will host Ajaccio and they are required to get 3 full points to be able to continue securing the Ligue 1 title this season. The news also says that Lionel Messi will be ready to fill the starting line-up in this match after the suspension was lifted last Monday. Messi's return will certainly make PSG's attack line sharp as usual and I hope he is able to give the best for PSG in this match later. Meanwhile, Ajaccio is still slumped in the relegation zone and it looks like they have no hope of leaving because the distance from Auxerre is 11 points.

If we refer to the available odds, the probability of winning for Lens is very high with odds @ 1.52. besides that, Lens has a very good record when playing at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, their own headquarters. proven, in 17 home matches, Lens was able to win 15 of them, 1 defeat and 1 match ended in a draw. this is a very impressive record, considering that PSG also doesn't have as good a record as Lens this season. so, it would be very natural if Lens is more favored.

Meanwhile, Reims is not a difficult opponent for Lens considering that their performance has not been very good in their last few matches. of the last 5 matches they played, 4 of them were winless and only in the last game against Lille, they were able to win, and even then with a narrow score. in this match, Reims is not favored at all that's why the odds they have @ 5.80. well, quite tempting. unfortunately, their opponent is on a strong overconfidence trend.

By the way, don't be surprised if the result of this match ends in a draw. IMO, now Lens is under pressure to maintain its position on the leaderboard. considering, only only 2 points away from Marseille. The question is whether this match will produce many goals. my estimate, under 3 goals. it could be, this match will be won by Reims with a narrow score.

Lens vs Reims = Under 3 gol

Yes Reims has so far proven to be quite a tough opponent for Lens, because head to head when this two team met ended with a thin score, even Reims maybe can to scored in this match. But considering that this is a very important match for Lens, it is very likely that they can win this match to get three points, because the gap in points with Marseille is close enough that so Lens will be motivated to stay away.

The quality of the game Lille and Lens is not on the same level, Reims will obviously face a team with a different level from the last time Reims win
The increase confidence of the Reims players after winning against Lille will not be enough capital to maintain their winning because Lens will clearly have more ambitions to win because their current situation requires Lens to consistently win the remain match in the French 1st League

Head to head in Ligue1 shows that Reims has never won at all against Lens, but that doesn't mean that in today's match Lens can win easily at home. Because Reims will also try hard not to give full points to Lens and it will even be very crucial if the result of their match becomes a draw so that it will make Lens' position in the standings temporarily become insecure from the pursuit of their rivals. One of them is with Marseille, which is currently only two points behind Lens.

Lens is second in League One. The Lens team is performing exceptionally well. The team has been able to secure victories in most of the matches and is currently only six points behind PSG. I hope the team will do well if they do this kind of performance.

Lens, clever underdogs! Everyone loves David vs. Goliath. Don't rush. Trying to overtake PSG in Ligue 1? A rabbit versus a grizzly! Laughable, right? Don't overreact.

Lens's second-place performance, coupled with their imminent return to the second level, is genuinely remarkable. However, staying on top isn't easy. If Lens falters, Marseille will pounce.

Thus, let us be hopeful without being excessively optimistic. Lens is winning, and Reims may be next. Lens has overcome difficulty by taking this path. Support the team and hope they make the Champions League. Another football miracle may happen.

[hahay]

This week PSG will host Ajaccio and they are required to get 3 full points to be able to continue securing the Ligue 1 title this season. The news also says that Lionel Messi will be ready to fill the starting line-up in this match after the suspension was lifted last Monday.

Meanwhile, Ajaccio is still slumped in the relegation zone and it looks like they have no hope of leaving because the distance from Auxerre is 11 points.

Interestingly, in Ligue 1 there are four teams that will be relegated, this is different from other leagues where usually only three will be relegated. But regarding AC Ajaccio, of course AC Ajaccio is certain to be relegated, because just to go up to 17th place too, it is very impossible for AC Ajaccio to do and therefore, it is impossible for AC Ajaccio to get out of the relegation zone.

Thus, in this home match PSG should be able to win, even playing without Messi even though I'm sure PSG will still win with a good score. There is no doubt for PSG in this match, even though PSG didn't play all the key players, but as a big team in Ligue 1 and yes, PSG must still be able to beat AC Ajaccio in this match.

[RealMalatesta]

It will be a miracle in Ligue 1 if RC Lens can surpass PSG and get the title in the remaining 4 matches. If you look at the teams that will be against PSG in the remaining matches, it is very impossible for Lens to hope. Because PSG will only face Ajaccio, Auxerre, Strasbourg and Clermont Foot.

About the RC Lens Vs Reims match, I don't think that this match will be an easy match for RC Lens because the performance from Reims is very unpredictable, sometimes they play so badly but sometimes they play so well that they can hold PSG to a draw at the Parc des Princes. As for betting, I think it would be wiser to go for the handicap bet and choose +1 for Reims.

That won't happen, that's not even in the discussions and I am sure that it is not going to happen. The only thing that could potentially happen is Lens becoming second, that's it, not get passed by Marseille is their aim right now and they may do it or they may fail it I am not sure which one will be second, but that's the only aim.

Even if Lens wins all 4 games, I am 100% sure, not even 99.99% sure, I am 100% sure that we are going to end up seeing that change a lot, we are going to see PSG win most of those games and not lose too many points to lose the top spot, that is guaranteed at this point. However, we could see Lens and Marseille fight for the last spot until the very last day, that is something we may end up seeing for sure.

Yes Reims has so far proven to be quite a tough opponent for Lens, because head to head when this two team met ended with a thin score, even Reims maybe can to scored in this match. But considering that this is a very important match for Lens, it is very likely that they can win this match to get three points, because the gap in points with Marseille is close enough that so Lens will be motivated to stay away.

the first half has ended and soon the second half will occur, while the current score is 1-1, each team managed to score a goal through the penalty box, but the advantage in this match is reims because lens can only play with 10 players due to danso got a red card. it seems that in this second half, reims will not give up to create great pressure on the lens.
