French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[len01]

I think the first thing PSG needs for the next season is to hire another coach to replace Galtier because of the bad performance he had during this season and that's why I think there are many other options who can have better performance than Galtier, one good example is Zidane because of this pas experience of working with superstar player he surely knows how to deal with players like Mbappe and other players.
If they hire Zidane I think they should also start changing many players because the Zidane we know, is not a person to counties the way by other coaches, he is a person who needs to have some other players who can make the owners of PSG spend even more for the next season.   

PSG is still searching right now. To be honest if mourinho was also interesting to be a new coach for PSG but the problem if PSG didn't wanna take him as a new coach which is really. Weird. i don't even know the way of PSG thinks about that but it seems like that if PSG is not willing to sign him as a new coach. Talking about zidane and so far there's no latest news about him. it seems like that if that's gonna be a problem for PSG if the club will try to sign amateur coach for upcoming season.

Let's wait for some candidates that may appear soon from PSG. In my opinion, if it's the time for galtier to be sacked. A new coach will able to build the team even better without stars player.

hearing rumors from some of the talks it looks like the candidates already in sight are Zidane and Mourinho. these two coaches have different experiences and Mourinho has a lot more experience and is suitable to be a PSG coach but the question is whether Mourinho wants to leave Roma just to move to PSG. on the one hand Mourinho seems to still be comfortable in the team he is currently in charge of and for Zidane even though he also has the experience of winning the champions league trophy but I am not sure whether PSG also agrees if Zidane becomes a coach who can determine the future of PSG.

The Christophe Galtier strategy has potential to Parisians, but the club problem transcends beyond that. PSG are more interested in signing big names rather than looking at the real issue, which is to build their club; additionally, they have too high standards for their domestic league; to be able to perform brilliantly in top competitions, they require players who are capable of comprehending superb performance in top leagues. Hiring or even bringing in Zinedine Zidane will not address the team's problems; they need good backup players and to regulate their wage balance, which is where the problem originates. Kylian Mbappe standing out as the highest paid player in Ligue One and completely outperforming top experience players in the club and the France league creates opportunities for intimidation and inferiority among teammates.

Leo Messi is yet to reveal where he will play next, regardless of still yet to accept the massive offer from the Saudi Arabia league. Returning to Camp Nou is a possibility, although the bluagrana have severe concerns with FFP rules. PSG boss Christophe Galtier has stated that Leo Messi will play his final game for the club against Clermont at the Parc de Princes stadium. The manager emphasizes how fortunate he is to be coaching the greatest player in football history. A moment, a season to remember the Argentine international once play for the top club in Ligue one, a memorable tribute for the indisputable GOAT in football.

As the world eagerly awaits Leo Messi's next move, speculation and rumors continue to swirl. The prospect of a return to the Camp Nou has excited supporters but financial fair play concerns loom over Barcelona like a shadow. Meanwhile, the lure of a huge offer from the Saudi Arabian league is looming, luring Messi with the promise of a new adventure. But amidst this uncertainty Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier made the bold announcement that Messi would feature in the club's final game against Clermont a moment that will forever be etched into football. history. Galtier is deeply grateful for the privilege of coaching what is undoubtedly the greatest player the sport has ever seen. This season will be a remarkable tribute to the Argentina international reminding us all of Messi's indelible mark on Ligue 1 and establishing him as football's undeniable GOAT.

Marseille will still try to aim for victory through the match against Ajaccio in the Ligue 1 opener this week. After the last two matches Marseille always lost, now for sure they will target the last victory to close the season with good results. For Ajaccio who are in the relegation zone there seems to be nothing to do and even if Ajaccio wins, they will still be relegated this season along with Troyes and Angers. On the other hand, Marseille is likely to remain satisfied with finishing in 3rd position and bypassing the Champions League via the playoffs first. So I think there's nothing wrong with betting on Marseille and it's guaranteed they will win even if by a narrow score.

Before winning Champion League tittle I sure PSG tactician position still not secure although consistent won Ligue 1 every year, seems the same with Christophe Galtier position after failure in Champion League his position not guarantee as PSG's tactician for next season. Zidane looks right choose for PSG but I don't sure want to be PSG head coach and Zidane have not active as manager more than two years. Right now, Christophe Galtier position still secure and PSG not linked with new tactician for upcoming season.

PSG need balanced with their composition for next season, when main player injured like Mbappe and Neymar seems difficult for reserve player replace their position as quit well and PSG hasn't consistent performance in Champion League.

Agree with this, Whether or not a new manager is present or not I think this doesn't really affect in this case, especially since we all know that it was Messi's contract that did run out and on several occasions, the lack of disciplinary problems from Messi and the PSG fans who demanded too much made this relationship is getting strained.
Sooner or later, something like this is bound to happen regardless of anything. Now that Messi is just waiting to see what Neymar will do after this because looking at the conditions the possibility of him leaving is also very big now with their current condition.

Now PSG have to try to get back with their money, let's hope they don't go back to looking for players who have run out of time just because of the big names that have been done before.

I read that the PSG fans blame Messi because he wasn't as passionate about PSG as he was about Argentina's national team. Which in my opinion is a joke because why do the PSG fans not understand that they are fans of a team that is full of mercenaries? Neymar isn't playing for PSG because PSG is real soccer tradition. Mbappe same thing. Messi went there for fun and money, but not because PSG is the club every young boy dreams of.

I am sure that Messi has long made his decision, long ago. Probably a few months ago.

So I think there's nothing wrong with betting on Marseille and it's guaranteed they will win even if by a narrow score.

After getting two bad match results, Marseille should be able to close this season with a winning, they also have to be able not to concede a goal in this match. Like the previous season, they also secured three points on matchday 38, so I'm also sure they can do it again. And to bet on Marseille isn't too bad either, currently the odds for them are around @1.36, the possibility of winning for them are quite high against Ajaccio although playing away.

Basically, these two teams or AC Ajaccio and also Marseille will remain in the same position even though the end result in this match is win or lose. Thus, they are free to play with any strategy, but when it comes to prestige and/or bonuses that may be obtained, then of course they will still play well to be able to win in this last match. But yes, considering these two teams have qualities that are clearly very different, then of course Marseille will be able to win in this last match.

Actually, the Ajaccio vs Marseille match will not be very important because Marseille is safe in its current position and has won a ticket to the champions league.
If Marseille loses against Ajaccio I think I won't be disappointed because the match is also at Ajaccio's home ground which has a slightly greater chance of winning.

It's only fitting that they can win this game against a relegated team who won't have any more motivation. Even though it wouldn't change anything, it would be really embarrassing if they had to lose this easy match. They had lost second place after an inconsistent display that cost them a lot of points, at least they closed the competition with a win.

Lille will play their last match against Troyes. Troyes is one of the weaker teams this season. Troyes has no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. And so I don't think Lille will lose points in this match. An easy win awaits Lille. Unless they make a big mistake.
I can't call the BRest team weak against Rennes. However, the team is in the 14th position in the points table. But Brest won the last three matches. They are in a very good rhythm now. And so I won't be surprised if Rennes loses points in this match.

Indeed, Troyes is a small team and it is certain that they will be relegated this season, but if you look at Lille's previous performance against Nantes, they (Lille) benefited from 2 penalties which finally made them get an additional 3 points in that match. Lille played very badly and struggled to score from attacks and wouldn't this match be just as difficult for Lille against Troyes later?
Apart from that Lille must not underestimate even the smallest team and even though they are the underdogs, there will definitely be times when they slip up if they are not careful. For Rennes against Brest, it is likely that this will be a very fierce match, especially since Brest is the host, it will definitely not be easy to give up.

Lille's performance against Nantes was not good. They had 66% of the ball but didn't attack much. Lille were very lucky so they won. Lille scored both goals in the match from penalty chances. But I don't think Lille will make the same mistake two games in a row. If Lille plays an attacking strategy, breaking the defense of teams like Nantes and Troyes will not be a difficult task for them. Troyes defense is weak. And so if Lille don't make tactical mistakes in this match they will win.

Lacazette's performance until now has been incredibly good. He just brought back his old times immediately after leaving Arsenal and returning to Lyon. He had his best years with Lyon in the first place in the past obviously. But I still had doubts about him whether he would be able to perform that good again after this returnal. He made my doubts go away in a very short time after coming here. 

He has scored 27 goals in the Ligue 1 until now which is only 1 goal less from Mbappe. Considering Lacazette is 32 years old this is an amazing effort for him. He has given his best for the team throughout the season but Lyon still can't qualify for any European competition now. I liken Lacazette's situation with Lyon to the one Kane has with Tottenham now.

This match shouldn't be a problem for Marseille, but don't be surprised if the results don't live up to expectations. even if Marseille wins the match, it will have no effect on them. however, to win the match to conclude the competition. at least, it was worth it for Marseille to fight for it. after all, even though Ajaccio played as the home team, it was not a significant obstacle for Igor Tudor's team to win. you could say, as the last practice at the end of the season.

Conversely, this match will also mean nothing to Ajaccio. after all, they can be sure that they will be relegated, which incidentally occupies 19th place on the Ligue 1 standings. Win or lose, nothing will change for them. after all, to overthrow Marseille is not an easy thing at all for Ajaccio. however, if this match is going to be a surprise, there's nothing wrong with reviewing whether Marseille will seriously play in this match. if the scenario is that the Marseille team will not be serious, Ajaccio's odds options are quite tempting @8,20.

If Marseille loses against Ajaccio I think I won't be disappointed because the match is also at Ajaccio's home ground which has a slightly greater chance of winning.

If it must be considered unimportant, then in fact the two teams will also not experience such a significant change in the position they occupy and the zone they occupy now. Because if for example Ajaccio wins tomorrow's match, Ajaccio also cannot get out of the relegation zone and so does Marseille who cannot be caught up by other rivals so that Marseille will still be in third place in the Champions League qualifying zone. And if for example Marseille wins there won't be any change in position so conditions will remain the same for Marseille.

Even in head to head terms, Marseille also dominates with lots of wins, even though at the start of this season, Marseille had to lose with a score of 1-2 at home and the chances of winning seem quite decent even though Marseille are away from home, but it would be more optimal if we bet with a handicap (-1) with odds @1.51 because of course Marseille will not be satisfied with just a narrow win. Because I'm pretty sure that at least Marseille will be ahead by more than 2 goals in this match.

We have to admit that he played well this year. The team he is currently in is quite suitable for him, although his performance was good, I think he could not have played so well in a better league. He's older now and maybe he's having his best years.
It is certain that Lacazette will not be able to take part in the Premier League or similar difficulty again, he will now be remembered as the legendary player of Lyon

I also think so that Marseille will feel a little embarrassed if they have to lose their last match of the season with an opponent who is not strong and I think Marseille clearly does not want to be embarrassed in their last match at home to their opponent so that Marseille will still try to win even though the position is very secure in third place in the Ligue1 standings and on the other hand Ajaccio also does not have enough strength to face Marseille in the last game at home.

The lens is really unexpected, I didn't think they would be able to have 81 points (shifting Marseille and getting closer to PSG's points). marseille will face Ajaccio, losing or winning in this match will not change marseille's position in the top three while this last match will only have a big impact on Lens and PSG, if PSG lose to C Foot then Lens will become the champion.

[wiss19]

Messi has left, lets see what PSG will do, they need better midfield and now they will need someone to replace Messi, which we all know will be hard, no matter how old he was, he was still messi and did some pretty magical stuff anyway, but missed some games. I am guessing that Neymar will be a no-show next season as well so I am guessing that its going to be something a bit more important, it will probably be something to care about and I believe that it wouldn't be really an easy fill.

Neymar and Messi gone, need of a midfield, and how much money could they even spend? I am not even talking about just their budget, which is of course limited even if its a lot, but I think they have financial fair play they will need to think about as well.

Even if in this case it doesn't make any impact on their position in the standings, as you said, they still have to aim for victory in this last game because it's not wrong to close the end of the season with a win.
They had to be willing to drop points several times and of course in this match there is no reason for them to have to lose again, of course, moreover the opponent they will face is Ajaccio who incidentally is a club that has to leave Ligue 1 next season.
It would be very bad for the mentality of the Marseille players if they had to lose again for the third time in a row in the last match of the season.
