French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Franctoshi]

Basically, Nantes still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone but unfortunately, today Nantes has to play away against Lille and Lille is currently still in dire need of three points. What's more, Lille really has a very good dominance of wins when Lille plays against

There is no certainly when it comes to the world of football, you might be thinking that they will lose the game while the game might end draw or they even get a win, both teams are in need of the 3 points but I think relegation threatened Nantes needs the 3 points more to see if they will try to escape that relegation zone and will not relent in that game despite their form, anything is possible when it comes to football.

[xzone]

Even though there are still two final matches remaining in the rest of the season, this time Lens must really get a win against Ajaccio in this match because to make sure their steps towards the champions league are safer if they are in 2nd place in the standings. I think this is an easy match for Lens, especially against a weak team like Ajaccio who have no chance of escaping from the relegation zone even though they managed to win the remaining two matches.

Bookmakers also give odds @1.15 and that is very small for Lens to win, so I would prefer to bet over 2.5 goals with better odds @1.58 in my opinion it still makes sense because there will be at least 2 more goals to maximize Lens' win.

With odds as low as 1.15 it's pretty useless to bet, it's definitely not worth the risk. We have reached the end of the league and we all know that a strong team like Lens will not lose points to one of the worst teams in the league. I think if I were to bet on this, I would say Lens will score more than 3 goals. At the end of the league, they can close the year by scoring a lot of goals and showing off

[FanEagle]

Lens could still sell a few players and build a better team, there is a whole summer in front of them and they could make some changes. I am not saying that they are going to end up with a UCL title obviously, we all know that they are not going to do much, but their aim should be getting out of the group stages.

That is the highest they could do, if they can do that then I would consider their season as exceptionally well, anything more than that would be just joy, and just because they may fail going above the group stages doesn't mean that they did terrible neither, just saying that would be the best case. For that, they are going to get paid so much this year, tv rights, ucl entry money and all that, which would be at least 20-30 million more, get a few good players and maybe they will do that.

Strasbourg VS PSG

I'm enjoying the Strasbourg vs PSG match. In this match, I expected to see PSG dominate and win by a big margin. But I am very upset with PSG's match strategy.
Strasbourg is a team at the bottom of the points table. This group is relatively weak. But even against such a team PSG team is playing defensively today. The match is not important for PSG. They won the title. Even then PSG fans don't expect results that PSG won't win in such matches. Messi and Mbappe are in PSG's attack. However, PSG only made 4 shots in the first half. I don't see any desire in them to score in the match.

[macson]

i'm looking forward to the final results of the two matches below; ^{(i wonder which team will be in the relegation zone because both are only 1 point apart)}
nantes vs lille
auxerre vs toulouse

Lille continues to fight hard to be able to win against Nantes because they want to be in 4th place ^{(shifting Monaco and Rennes)} so they can get a UCL ticket next season ^{(the match will soon be over, i see that Nantes' defense is very good)}

what surprised me a little was the match between Marseille vs Brest, on paper Marseille was superior because they were playing at home but until now Marseille has not been able to score a goal against Brest, it seems that the end of this match is Brest's victory. edit my post, marseille managed to equalize the score, the score is now 1-1.

[Leviathan.007]

The remaining games in the French league are important if you to look at the relegation zone of the table where the teams are trying hard to get themselves out of danger, Nantes currently is in a situation in which they can get relegated at the end of the season however they have a good chance to win the game tonight and get the full three points from this game but they also should hope to see other teams like Auxerre make mistake and let them take their place otherwise even after the two remaining points there will be no hope for Nantes to stay in French League for another season.
Also, the situation can be even harder when you know Nantes should play against Lille tonight and Lille is not a team to lose points easily.

[alpamar99]

Marseille's defeat in today's competition further distanced themselves and indeed even if they win they will not be able to compete with Lens but still in this competition I think at least they should be more ambitious for 3 points. It's a pity that 4 of the matches they played in town before the end of this season they had to be willing to lose points again and again because they lost 3 times and that made them only be in the Europa League next season.

I don't see any desire in them to score in the match.

I watched the game for a few minutes especially before Messi scored and before the equalizer was scored by Kevin Gameiro. PSG were under a lot of pressure after Messi's goal, I mean Strasbourg played better the rest of the second half and they were able to force PSG to a draw in the end. Strasbourg have also secured their place in Ligue 1 next season as no other team will threaten their position in the standings.

Of course PSG fans were really disappointed to get 1-1 draw as the end of the match, but things like this are not always avoided by any team. PSG had several chances, even Mbappe failed to take advantage of the opportunities created by Messi to convert them into goals.

[Slow death]

well, PSG are already champions and I must confess that PSG didn't perform well this season, they were simply counting on luck to win Ligue 1, they didn't play well in every game, it was horrible to watch their games, their defense It's a broken defense, in 37 games PSG conceded 37 goals, and at home it's very rare for a team to become champion without having the best defense, but in the case of PSG that shouldn't be a big surprise, this season the best defense went to the Lens, which in my opinion is a team that deserved to be the champion of Ligue 1, Lens doesn't have the same money that PSG has, Lens doesn't have the best players in the world like PSG has, but Lens had a better campaign than Lens PSG

this is a case that clearly shows that PSG is wasting a lot of money without having good results, it is not necessary to have the best players in the world to win the ligue 1, but I believe that PSG hires the best players in the world because they intend to win the champions league, at the moment PSG don't have any chance of winning the champions league next season, they need to make some changes, if they lose messi then they will be weaker, neymar is a player who doesn't even play every season, in my opinion opinion PSG should sell him and look for a player like napoli top scorer to replace neymar

Basically, Nantes still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone but unfortunately, today Nantes has to play away against Lille and Lille is currently still in dire need of three points. What's more, Lille really has a very good dominance of wins when Lille plays against Nantes and so, of course, at this moment Nantes can be sure to lose.

But they have tried hard in this game and it's actually worthy of praise I think because they lost with a fairly small score and it's really unfortunate when the Penalty in the last 2 minutes cost them points.
Discipline in defense must be improved because indeed they have been comfortable for the first half in this match.
Now actually they can still be in Ligue 1 it's just that they have to win in the last match against angers and especially for Auxerre they will face a tough match against Lens.

The result of the match between Strasbourg vs PSG with a final result of 1-1 which made PSG lock in the Ligue 1 trophy this season because Lens was unable to catch up again with PSG who were at the top of the standings because the rest of the match left only 1 match left. This match was also very special for Lionel Messi because one of his goals in this match was able to lock the title for PSG. Moreover, this is his last season with PSG and he closed it with a pretty perfect achievement.

The competition in the ligue 1 this season is quite competitive because psg was only able to lock in the title on matchday 37 and it was quite a stunning journey that they have gone through this season. Congratulations to psg for being the champion of ligue 1 season 2022/2023.

Congratulations to Paris Saint Germaine for retaining the French Ligue 1 title once more and congratulations to Lionel Messi as his goal in the match made him overtake Cristiano Ronaldo's 495 goals in Europe top five leagues to go 496 goals for himself.
However I must say that Paris Saint Germaine aren't supposed to wait this long before winning the French Ligue 1 considering the kind quality players at their disposal. Messi is surely gonna leave in the summer but Paris Saint Germaine must make some vital changes in the summer to remain competitive not just in the domestic league but also in the UEFA Champions League and that change I think must start from the manager

Marseille 1 - 2 Brest was quite unexpected even though their chances to pick the second spot before that game were low. Since Lens won and Marseille lost then Lens to Champions League group stage and Marseille to the qualifiers of Champions League.
Meanwhile Monaco lost its spot and we have now Lille in Europa League spot and Rennes in the Conference League.

Looking at the statistics in this match, even though PSG's dominance was very pronounced from the beginning to the end of the match, it seems that Strasbourg's intention to win was a little bigger and PSG really seemed to be playing in this match.
Score 1 point for each although for PSG it doesn't have any impact but it might be different for Strasbourg they avoid the relegation zone even though the current position compared to last season still looks worrying.

[Velvet78]

I'm not surprised with Marseille's losing to Brest like that. Because they already lost the most of their chance for the second position before and Lens secured the position by destroying Ajaccio home today as well. Congratulations to Lens on their great success this season. Maybe they couldn't maintain their title race until the end but that wasn't expected from them anyway.

But they still fought hard for the Champions League and earned their place in there. No matter what they do in the group stage this will return to them as a lot of money for certain.

Crazy journey for rc lens , it takes only two seasons for them to achieve this since they get promoted back to the ligue 1 in 2020-2021 and straight become a mediocre teams in their first and second season before transformed into a club that going to play in champions league a long with psg.

That is just extraordinary work made by the whole team at rc lens.

[Iranus]

This must be the week Lens are securing the second position by winning against Ajaccio as the point gap would be five points with Marseille the worst case scenario after that. Lens have been the team I most admired during this season here. The biggest disappointment for me has been Monaco honestly. I would have liked to see them in a race to be a part of the Champions League as well.
But they might even lose the spot in the Europa League if they continue to play like this on the final two weeks. Because their recent form is just horrible now.

In League One, the Lens team has to be praised, the current position of the Lens is after the PSG team. If PSG were not playing in League One I think Lens would have qualified to secure the title. This team is pushing themselves tremendously.

an extraordinary season for Lens, now they are in 2nd place in the standings and it is no longer possible to be chased by Marseiile who is in 3rd place, 5 points ahead and 2 more matches remaining I think it is safe enough for Lens to be able to finish in 2nd place and getting a ticket to the next season's Champion League, this is a great achievement.
to be a champion is indeed very difficult, PSG has extraordinary financial strength and it is very difficult to be loved by other teams in Ligue 1.

Lens has played very well this season. If they were a little more consistent, they could have extended the title fight with PSG. Still, qualifying for the Champions League is an honor. Lens was defeated in just 4 matches this season. PSG, the strongest team in Ligue 1, has been defeated in 3 matches. If Lens management can spend some money next season then this team will be stronger.
Lens qualified for the Champions League. Hopefully, they will be stronger next season. And it will be more difficult for PSG to win the Ligue 1 title next season.

Its always hard to win the title against Psg ,Lille was somehow able to make a miracle a few seasons ago but Lens just wasnt able to hold on to PSG. But still this is one of the biggest results in their history with them reaching the group faze and playing the champions league next season.

There will be several big changes within the PSG squad next season. And so PSG's performance is more likely to be unstable. PSG is a strong team and they have a lot of money. But if the PSG management can't select the right players for their squad then I think the performance of this team will collapse next season. And if teams like Marseille and Lens are able to capitalize on these opportunities, we may see another team in Ligue 1's Champions League next season. It will be challenging for PSG to continue their dominance in Ligue 1 next season.

You are right. Although PSG had a strong squad, the understanding between the players was not good. This is why PSG cannot perform well in Champions League matches. PSG is expected to make a lot of changes within the team next season. They will release several players and include new players in the squad. This is why I say PSG's performance is likely to be unstable. New players are less likely to adapt quickly to the team. New players need time to adapt to the team. Also, I don't think PSG's coach is very experienced. I wouldn't be surprised if the PSG management decides to change their coach again next season.
