French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[QueenVera]

Btts @1.66 over 2 @1.38 over 2.5@1.8

There may be no a lot of goals to happen for this match. Over 2 odds is very small compared btts. I would to say if the chance for btts to happen is having same chance to happen with over 2.5 but i would prefer to take btts instead of over 2.5
Marseille will be facing a strong club this season in the league 1. It doesn't even make sense for me to take 1x2 nice caused by marseille was also very strong at this moment.

Even though marseille was placing below nice but it can't be underrated team at this moment. Im feeling if nice will win the game but luck is also playing an important role in this game.

Well the odds look tempting and though Nice are the preferred winners of the game cause they're in a better position and are playing with a home advantage but I've seen where teams with bigger odds turnout to be better than the lesser odd opponent and even beat them at home with a high odd, I'm not going to write-off Marseille and I think I'll bet on then to win the game even though they're playing away from home and are below Nice in the league table.

 It think Marseille would be more lucky to win the game cause Nice are one of the clubs with the best performance in the Ligue 1 and are currently in the 2nd place on the table, which makes them more favourable to win the game,however I still believe Marseille could win.

[rendravolt]

Nice vs Marseille will be a match that is quite eagerly awaited after the international break.
Both teams are in the same condition even though Nice is in a better ranking in the standings, but Marseille wins more often when facing Nice, the home factor might give Nice an advantage but Marselle certainly doesn't want to lose momentum because they won in the eighth match after the previous four matches, they were only able to get two points because they experienced two consecutive defeats which were quite painful.
Nice has the odds of being the favorite to win with a very small margin and it looks like it's only because of the host factor, but Marseille also has the same chance of getting 3 points.

In a match like this, I think it will be very difficult to predict who will win because the normal odds for both of them are not much different. The BTTS option cannot guarantee that the two teams will score each other's goals, but it is possible that only one of the teams will be able to score. Sometimes we might expect so many goals but what happens is a narrow 1-0 win or even no goals at all. If you look at the opportunities of these two teams, I will favor Nice because they have a realistic target of overthrowing Monaco in the standings. But I wouldn't bet on Nice winning and to make a safe bet, I would take the handicap option (0.25) with odds @1.54 for Nice's lead.

I have rarely seen a team that is so efficient with their goals and also with the ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. They have the best defense of the top teams and the worst offense of the top teams and yet they are second in Ligue 1. This is all about the defense for them and it shows that if they score, they are able to maintain the lead over the full 90 minutes and not throw away any of those games. It is an impressive achievement because after all they don't need to care whether they have the weakest offense. All that matters is the number of points they are able to collect and this is looking good for them so far.

Yes, usually we saw PSG which are consistent but this season we see Nice which are really great at maintaining their performance. The Nice players are very solid, they already proven that because they haven't lost so far. Although Nice doesn't have a top striker, but this team have something that other teams don't have, I mean good cooperation between players. Nice can beat Monaco which is on fire, and Nice can beat PSG the strongest team in Ligue 1. Nice achievements this season are truly impressive, although it is too early to say this but I think Nice team will be difficult to beat this season.

Nice remains my favourite for this game and I think they are going to win considering they are at advantage from home, Nice happens to be at the top of the table with an unbeaten record in the Ligue 1 this season, which by all indication they wouldn't want to start their loosing streak at home to Marseille who happens to be at sixth position on the table with some kind of weak stats

Not to undermine Marseille but then I think they are not going to win but may probably secure a draw, although it's possible that regardless of the odds anything possible can happen as there have been cases of such in recent past but at this point, Nice stand to be at a competitive position such that loosing this single match would cost them a lot as the other two teams behind them is just with a difference of one point so they may fall to fifth position if they loose this match and PSG wins along side Brest, so Marseille would have to play hard and if they are lucky they could get a draw, but they are most unlike to get a win but then this is football where anything is possible.

I personally do not like how the authority is managing PSG. I also do not like the authority of the country France, as well, but that's another story.

Anyway, the PSG authority thought that they could do anything with money. But obviously, that is not true. I don't know what they deserve to be honest. But one thing I will say that they are definitely did not deserve to do well with the squad where Mbappé had authority over other players. They have made a lot of mistakes. But bringing in the new coach was a step in the right direction. Now let's see if the coach Luis Enrique can actually make things better. But it will definitely take a lot of time. Patience is something that PSG does not have which they should.

Money doesn't guarantee success for any team indeed. Sometimes money really works for some teams to achieve great successes. For example we have a Manchester City example in hand. They have been doing amazing in the Premier League and they won the Champions League title finally as well.

However this is all up to the quality of the management of not only the players but also the team completely. As you said the authority doesn't know how to deal with PSG's problems right now. This makes things even worse for the team as a result. On paper this team should be able to be more competitive.

so true but you need money to build the quality players. Money doesn't give guarantee but in fact, many clubs who have been spending a lot of money in the football keep dominating it. I can even mention some clubs like real madrid, bayern, city and many more. These clubs have spent so much money in rebuilding their clubs. They have got what they wanted by dominating the domestic league combined with international competition like UCL. In fact, money is something needed by the club to dominate the football competitions.
Money gives more probability for the club to winning the competition caused by having money will make it even much more easier. The club can buy any great players to be combined in the same team.
That's it. PSG was dominating league 1 once this club spent so much money.

Money doesn't guarantee success but money helps to facilitate success and that's why Paris Saint Germaine is still considered as the favourites to win the French Ligue 1 title this season despite starting the league campaign with consistent poor results.
Paris Saint Germaine poor results this season I think is as a result of the managers approach to games and his failure to find the best playing pattern that'll bring out the best from his already world class players and when he eventually does, PSG will be sweeping aside every French team they meat.

yes, Nice this season has a better performance. they have a more solid and quite consistent game than other teams, even PSG, which tends to experience instability in the team.
I think another team that has performed impressively this season is Brest. In previous seasons they were not too dominant. but this season Brest started very well. even better than Marseille and Rennes.
the team that experienced a surprising decline I think was Lens. I don't know what's wrong with their team, but this season they started very badly. unlike last season which performed very well.

But the question is will they be able to maintain everything they have shown so far? Because I'm not just one or two times seeing clubs in Ligue 1 lose stability after they play well. That's what I still doubt about them, and actually it's not just them that I doubt, but almost all the clubs here I doubt in maintaining their consistency. I want a league that presents a more interesting competition, and interesting it is not from their inconsistency, because I see more interesting competition now because they show poor consistency.

The up and down of the performance of dark horse clubs in Ligue 1 I think are quite interesting because sometimes a club in Ligue 1 is able to be consistent in a full season   and can be troblesome but for different seasons sometimes they immediately turn into a club that is even fairly bad in terms of performance.
Last season we saw Lens whose performance improved very rapidly but this season they really messed up especially for the beginning of this season and now there is Nice which we know last season they finished in 9th place but at the moment they are showing good things and I think the possibility of them staying for stability is high but we also have to realize that this could be different for the next seasons.

The most difficult thing is to maintain consistency for a full season, you need a strong team in all lines and adequate backing or having backing players who have the same quality as the main players to be able to do this.
In my opinion, it is very difficult for us to predict whether a team will be consistent or not, because there will be many factors that influence it.

And for Lens, whose start to the season was very bad, but slowly now they are starting to recover and even in the UCL they managed to win against Arsenal, that's an extraordinary thing and I'm sure Lens will be able to compete again at the top of the standings this season like what has been done they did last season.

I get that money doesn't guarantee anything, you know every club does waste money to be honest. But the argument is in recent times, I have not seen any club wasting money like PSG. However we couldn't call it wasting money if they are getting results, right? 

If i am not wrong Arsenal and Manchester City are probably two clubs that have spent most amount of money in recent times as well. But we cannot call that wasting money because they are bringing in the results. But on the other hand PSG is definitely wasting money because they are not bringing in the results.

I will actually say that money can guarantee a lot of things if spent wisely, but PSG doesn't know anything about spending money wisely.

But indeed for very large money of course there must be more things that can be created by PSG not just Ligue 1 especially with their current performance honestly it does not reflect that they are a rich club studded with soccer stars even though there are lots of expensive players.
No matter how many big players there are when the management is bad and the coach cannot handle some big players the results will be very useless because their performance will not show any results apart from winning domestic competitions.
Before starting on the players, they should look for some really competent people in the executive and coaching so that they can be better than just focusing on the players but their executive and coaching are bad.

Yes we can see what Lens are feeling this season, they were very good last season, but this season they have to be thrown into a position that should not see them there. What's worrying is that they are the club representing Ligue 1 in the Champions League alongside Paris Saint Germain. What becomes more interesting is when we see their performance in the Champions League which could be better, even they can beat Arsenal in their last match in the Champions League or in the second match there. It's like the inverse between them being in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League.

[Blitzboy]

Their attack line isn't all that bad right? But I think they will run into the same issues with a player like Dembele as Barcelona did. Barcelona let him go because Dembele has never been consistent for an entire season. He has always had some aches and pains and then they couldn't cure it and it frequently returned and again he was sitting on the bench. Then he didn't do well in the training sessions and so on and so forth. I really don't understand that PSG signed Dembele when they themselves had a similar experience with Neymar who also was injured all the time. I think Kolo Muani was a good transfer although I have no idea whether he really was worth the money, but he might need some time until he can play his best.

Dembele is not a very bad player but I don't think he'll last at PSG because of the injury crisis he's faced over years when he was at Barcelona, he's become an injury prone player and that's what I expected Luis Enrique to be worried about before bringing him into the team, tge €50m they spent in getting him would had helped in attracting players like Kudus that's currently at Westham or other youngsters out there doing great.

 PSG would had learnt from their experience with Neymar but they sold him to get another player that injury prone as well, however they got other interesting talents that would  help them in future the team finally recocer their form, however if Enrique wants to perform well this season he'll need Mbappe's help and play him on his rightful position.

Here, my mind wander: Dembele, who has spent more time in recuperation rooms than on the pitch, now wears PSG colors for €50m. Im excited and worried about this transfer. Is this move not a Neymar repeat? I believe that signing a young player, like a Westham Kudus, would have given the squad a healthier, less injury-prone future. Enrique seems to be in for a crazy ride, and if he doesnt maximize Mbappe's brilliance, his adventure may end prematurely, much to our dismay! With Dembele at PSG, will we see success or another ‘what could have been’? Its going to be an exciting ride, so buckle up.

If we talk about consistency, I admit that Nice is one of the most stable clubs in League 1, even a big club like PSG cannot be as consistent as Nice, which currently really looks very strong in its performance to try to get the title in League 1.
However, I will not think that PSG looks weak, it just needs a little time to improve its performance and shift several of the clubs above it to hold the title again like the previous season and we must be able to understand that Luis Enrique has not been at PSG for too long as a coach, maybe he needs time to understand all the characters of the players so we have to be more patient in waiting for PSG to recover and appear more consistent.

It's quite strange to see some clubs were making significant improvements in a short time. I thought that if there was something wrong with nice caused by it was able to climbing up so fast. Nice really needs to defend its position caused by it wll able to compete with some strong clubs for the UCL spots.
This club really needs to make sure everything was fine. The match against marseille will become a proof for the consistentcy of nice. I hope that nice will able to perform even better.
It will be so amazing to see nice will able to finish at the top 4.

The competition becomes even more interesting if there will be more teams evolved to be even stronger than before. I think that if we will see so many interesting matches in league 1 till th end of season.
Any clubs are trying so hard in improving their performance. Im very happy league 1 becomes even more competitive.

[Distraction]

PSG don't reassure me either like most people this season. I agree with the argument that PSG's spending a lot of money hasn't made any good affect yet as well. You can be rich and bring nearly every player you want. However the most important point is to make these players have a good team play and reflect it onto their matches as good results.

I don't trust them in the Champions League much in terms of qualifying for next round truthfully. Their group is already challenging and their performance is also poor on one hand. They are just making things difficult for themselves.

When it comes to the Ligue 1 title they could still find a way to win the title similar to the previous season maybe.

I think another team that has performed impressively this season is Brest. In previous seasons they were not too dominant. but this season Brest started very well. even better than Marseille and Rennes.
the team that experienced a surprising decline I think was Lens. I don't know what's wrong with their team, but this season they started very badly. unlike last season which performed very well.

The team that has experienced a surprising decline this season I think is not Lens, because Lens has slowly managed to improve its position in the Ligue 1 standings. Because yes, the team that is experiencing a surprising decline at the moment I think is Lyon. Indeed, from the previous few seasons Lyon also failed to compete in the title race but yes, at least Lyon still has a big name here in Ligue 1. Therefore, basically Lyon is still rated as a team with a good history in Ligue 1 but at this moment, the fact is that Lyon still has no winning results at all from the eight matches it has played. Therefore, it seems that this season is a difficult season for Lyon, because Lyon has a chance to be relegated.

I want a league that presents a more interesting competition, and interesting it is not from their inconsistency, because I see more interesting competition now because they show poor consistency.

It is always difficult to maintain consistency in each match, but so far Ligue 1 seems very competitive. Until week 8, the Ligue 1 standings have really shown something good where the top 4 teams have a tight competition on points. PSG is in 3rd place with 15 points, while Nice and Monaco are second and first with 16 and 17 points.

PSG's dominance this season feels lacking in Ligue 1 because Monaco and Nice might provide good competition. Of course, this is expected because Ligue 1 is often referred to as the farmers' league due to PSG's dominance. Currently PSG have only managed to win 4 of 8 matches, but they have only suffered 1 defeat and 3 draws. I think it will be difficult for Nice to stay in the top 4, but they are unbeaten so far.

Overall PSG has all the attributes to win the European Champions League trophy, in my opinion they only lack one thing, namely luck. On the other hand, it is true that factors such as coaches and club management also play an important role in success, and in fact now they have Enrique who has a wealth of experience in elite competitions, both at club and national team level. Looking at the composition of players that PSG has, Enrique is also supported by players who have the highest market value in the world at the moment, there is no doubt about quality.

I still think that sooner or later PSG can win the UCL trophy so they won't only dominate in Ligue 1. As these star players mature in age, they will have the mentality to withstand pressure so they can get through big matches well. In the end, winning the UCL trophy for the first time is very difficult, we can see Chelsea's struggle (2012 period) and Man City's struggle last season.

[rahmad2nd]

Yes we can see what Lens are feeling this season, they were very good last season, but this season they have to be thrown into a position that should not see them there. What's worrying is that they are the club representing Ligue 1 in the Champions League alongside Paris Saint Germain. What becomes more interesting is when we see their performance in the Champions League which could be better, even they can beat Arsenal in their last match in the Champions League or in the second match there. It's like the inverse between them being in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League.

I don't always follow every development of this club, maybe it could be because some of their important players left in the last transfer window. and the new arrivals, did not meet Franck Haise's expectations. Or also, there was an internal problem in their dressing room which in the end made their performance not like last season. but now they are slowly rising in rank from initially being in the red zone, plus what makes them perhaps motivated is being able to overthrow Arsenal even though in the second leg meeting Arsenal will not let them play like they did at their own base.

In the last five matches in two competitions, they are unbeaten despite having two draws, one in Ligue 1 and the other match in the Chanpions League against Sevilla. At least, their position is now in the safe zone even though they are ranked 14th in the Ligue 1 standings. In the Champions League on matchday 3, Lens will host PSV. and if we refer to betting odds, it seems that the bookies do not favor one of these teams. which means, both teams have the same chance of overthrowing each other. Well, we'll see when this meeting is held. Are Lens capable, or are they just lucky when they beat Arsenal.
