French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Kylian Mbappe is regarded as one of the current person players of modern day football as well as the player that football fans globally are expecting to take center stage immediately Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi calls it a day from football. So it's absolutely understandable as Paris Saint Germaine do not want the France national team captain to leave Parc des Princes anytime soon.
That being said Mbappe looks like a player who's not ready to continue his career with the French champions beyond this season as it's already been reported that he's reached agreement to join Real Madrid next summer.

It will be difficult for a rivalry like Ronaldo and Messi to repeat itself if Mbappe still plays for PSG. Another talented player plays in the EPL, currently he is playing for Manchester City. The competition between Mbappe and Haaland will grow if Mbappe moves to the EPL or La Liga, Mbappe is very suitable for Real Madrid, especially since the club really wants his arrival.

Haaland immediately won the UCL trophy after playing for Manchester City, while Mbappe has never lifted the trophy. His age will increase as the years go by, if he doesn't immediately make the best decision for his future, he will forever regret not being able to win the UCL trophy. Even though PSG really wants the UCL trophy, there is very little chance of them being able to win it because when they face other strong teams in the UCL, PSG always loses mentally.

Even though PSG really wants the UCL trophy, there is very little chance of them being able to win it because when they face other strong teams in the UCL, PSG always loses mentally.

Mbappe really has to think about his career from now on. staying at PSG might not be right for him. and that is the reason why he has not yet made an extension contract with PSG.
Even when PSG was strengthened by Neymar and Messi, they also failed to achieve their hopes of winning the Champions League Trophy. and now Mbappe will of course find it difficult to bring PSG to the top. we can see their game declining in Ligue 1.
The biggest possibility is that Mbappe will go to Madrid, or that another club in the Premier League will get him.

After leaving for the international break with a humiliating loss to Newcastle and a 1-3 win over Rennes, they're back again to continue either their sluggish form or a more improved style of play, talking about PSG the domestic champions as I like calling them.
Going head to head against Strasbourg I believe is not going to be that stressful, because they're going to try every possible best to meet up in terms of performance and even use the visitors as a game to get ready for the Champions League which they know they need to win to stay alive in that campaign.
I can't say much but I see PSG getting ready for the UCL game with a big win against Strasbourg that's not match for them, but I assure you that the home team can't keep a clean sheet in that encounter tomorrow.

regarding the upcoming match, PSG hosting Strasbourg will provide a very good opportunity to steal 3 points from Strasbourg and this match should not make it difficult for PSG to win because the advantage of being the host is that they always have higher self confidence and are very free to compete with each other very strong playing style. in this match Enrique opportunity to try some of the best new strategies to help PSG get additional points because if they are not too far behind in points it will really reduce Enrique bad reputation and if this season he fails to bring PSG to the title in UCl and also in league 1 , the threat of being fired from PSG will definitely happen.

I am also very sure that if Mbappe goes to La Liga, he will stay at Real Madrid, not Barcelona. I once read the news about his dream club that he wants to play for is Real Madrid, not Barcelona at all. Mbappe is an extraordinary player, and he has been so often rumored to be going to Real Madrid according to expectations. However, it is PSG who still object to this. So, this seems like a very small possibility if Mbappe suddenly turns to Barcelona.

On the other hand, maybe the match that will be exciting is Nice vs Marseille. Nice has proven that its performance progress so far is beyond expectations, and is runner-up in the French League. His consistency is quite good in every match. On the other hand, sometimes Marseille also puts quite strong pressure on the opposing players. So, it gets a little more interesting later on. Yes, even though the French League is not like other leagues where the competition is very tough, at least for now, PSG's dominance is not as strong and strong as before.

Real Madrid is the best fit for Kylian Mbappe. Besides, Barcelona has players in that same position as Kylian Mbappe they won't want his services. Jaoa Felix is a good winger and fits up for that position quite well.
He should have joined last season but plans didn't go as plan, always, you'll have to plan for that plan that's not part of the plans.
Turning to Barcelona might be possible but still not in this case.

Gennaro Gattuso would be managing his first game in League One, after all round failures. I want to see him finally successfull with his job with Marseille. I'm hoping he gets better with his tactics.

We've talked a lot here about how necessary Mbappe is for Real. Mbappé is currently a player with the quality to take Real Madrid to the next level. It would be great if he joined the team, but in my opinion, problems arose because Real Madrid did not agree to pay so much transfer fee to PSG. They must have thought it more logical to wait a year and get it for free.

[Silence Scream]

Tomorrow the French League starts. National matches are good too. But league matches are more exciting for me. That's why I'm looking forward to the start of these matches. Tomorrow we have Le Havre vs Lens. Le Havre lost to Marseille and Lille in their last two league games. Actually Marseille and Lille were strong teams for them. I think these results should be considered a bit normal. On the other hand, Lens, who had a bad start in the French Ligue 1, started to get good results in the last weeks. They had only 1 point in the first 5 weeks of the league. In the last 3 weeks they collected 7 points. They also beat Arsenal in the Champions League. Lens have given good signals in recent weeks. I think they will win this match and now they will move towards the top of the league.

Lens played so well last year that everyone was wondering what they could do this year, but their results in the first 5 weeks were completely disappointing. They are in a slightly better situation in the last matches, especially the win over Arsenal in the UCL helped them regain their self-confidence. When I think about it this way, I think Le Havre will suffer a painful defeat.

Le Havre vs Lens

This season indeed Lens has starting the league with poor performance this because in the first 5 matches Lens was collect 4 loses which make their position at relegation zone at that time but recently Lens has been able to bounce back and since they got draw result against Sevilla on champion league Lens was unbeatable until today and one of good result is when they can beat Arsenal with scores 2-1 and this result is very impressive because Arsenal is the strong team on champion league

The condition to Lens opponent Le Havre doesn't really good because from 2 latest matches Le Havre has been lose with conceded 5 goals so this could be utilized to Lens to resumes their winning streak and about team conditions i can see there was no important players who got injured or suspension so both teams can play with all of their key players and recent performance has been showing Lens has good chances to win the match and the bookmakers provide good odds for Lens @1.80

Lens never losses from the last three games. The club is always trying to improve its performance even better. Lens does have capability to beat le havre even though its opponent placed above them. Lens's odd is quite good at this moment. I think that lens will bounce back again starting from this moment. Lens vs havre is quite hard to predict but i would prefer to havre. It was offering really nice odds. I don't even need to risk my money by taking asian handicap.
Probably 1x2 lens fc or btts. one of these things are my choice for the match between havre vs lens very soon. Im very optimistic to see lens will able to show better performance compared with the previous match.

I was also quite surprised by Lens performance this season, last season Lens managed to finish in second place in the standings just below PSG and only had 4 defeats from 38 matches, while currently he is ranked 14th and has experienced 4 defeats from 8 matches, of course this is a very bad result for Lens which experienced a very drastic decline.
Maybe you are right, after successfully beating Arsenal, Lens regained their confidence. Lens can still improve their position this season because Lens still has a lot of matches to play.
This season, Lens really has to fight hard to recover its condition and fight fully to face matches in League 1.
and I am sure that after the international break Lens will have honed their skills for the match and will again achieve success like last season.

If Mbappe signs with Real Madrid, Real Madrid will become a stronger team, but without Mbappe, Real Madrid is strong enough, but if Mbappe expresses interest in coming to Real Madrid next season, then maybe Real Madrid will sign him. 
Mbappya was needed at Real Madrid this season as Real Madrid lacked a great finisher like Karim Benzema, which Real Madrid has clearly missed on several occasions. The biggest reason why Mbappe did not sign for Real Madrid is Mbappe himself as he could never properly decide whether to sign with Real Madrid or stay at PSG. This season Mbappe was rumored to have secretly signed a verbal agreement with Real Madrid. Although Mbappe's contract with Real Madrid is not completed this season, many people are looking at the possibility that Mbappe's contract with Real Madrid will be completed in the next season.

I think Lens' good performance against Le Havre will continue because Le Havre could not fully reflect the game they wanted on the field. They are above Lens in the rankings, but if I consider Lens' performances in their last matches, I think Lens has a higher chance of winning. Of course, those who want to reduce the risk can play the double score.

They don't have any excuse to say this is why we lost or played out a draw just like last time. No matter how Luis Enrique has planned to do it this season, I don't see them as one of UCL competitors, they lack so many things to get them to that greater hight.
The players can't force their way to the finals, because the more they delay in improving their performance in the UCL the more other teams get stronger. So I only see PSG winning their league game against Strasbourg but the champions league game, is going to be hard for the French domestic champions.

Lens' development so far has started to find a bright spot and I really appreciate that this team's performance can return to its best performance so far. Lens will play an away match at Le Havre headquarters and actually the difference between the two teams is not that big with only 1 point difference in the standings. Whoever wins will have a bigger chance to climb up to overtake the other teams and I think Lens has that opportunity.

Betting on Lens is currently getting odds @1.84 and for Le Havre it is getting huge odds @4.50, so it's natural that Lens will be able to win with more decent odds. If you bet on the BTTS option, it actually makes sense because Le Havre will not remain silent against Lens at home and the odds for BTTS are in the range @1.95, so the two options you have given are quite reasonable and can make money quite easily.

[Blitzboy]

So far Kylian Mbappe has always been linked with a move to Real Madrid. It's true that Mbappe deserves to be there, but I believe the team that has the potential to win the Champions League title is not only Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappe could move to the Premier League for a team like Liverpool, Manchester City or Arsenal, but La Liga would be better if Mbappe joined Barcelona.

If Mbappe plays in Laliga why does it have to be Barcelona when Madrid is much better than them and has a chance to win the UCL title this season compared to Barcelona, besides if we want to talk about opportunities of course we know that all clubs have a chance to win the UCL this season, but usually the strongest club In the UCL currently, from my perspective, there are only three clubs, Manchester City, Munich and Madrid.

I don't mean to badmouth Barcelona because I think Mbappe won't be a surprise if he plays there, the possibility of playing in Madrid would be very appropriate, especially in Manchester City if he really wants to play at an EPL club compared to other EPL clubs, but we'll return to his decision later where he will play, because PSG is no longer the right club for him to stay and get the UCL title.

Real Madrid, in my opinion, would be a good fit for Mbappe. Its a tempting prospect for any player, especially given their impressive past performance and present form. Although Barcelona is still a legendary team, Mbappe's goals may not be compatible with their recent trend. Despite their absolute dominance in the EPL, Manchester City hasn't demonstrated any real interest. Not to mention that its not only about the money; its also about the championships and the legacy! It is obvious that Mbappe seeks rewards other than money wherever he goes.

[Velvet78]

PSG are going to play a home game against Strasbourg tomorrow. There are many players absent at PSG before this game. Asensio, Dembele, Hakimi, Kolo Muani are all absent for example. This means a big weakening in the attacking line before the Strasbourg game. Mbappe will have a bigger responsibility on his shoulders seemingly.

Goncalo Ramos has been quite inconsistent since he joined the team. He still doesn't seem to have adapted to the environment. I hope we can see some good performance from him in this one as well. Strasbourg can't score many goals even though the gap with PSG is only 5 points. I don't think they can resist PSG in this game.

[asriloni]

Kylian Mbappe is an important player for PSG but they have no option than let him exits Parc des Princes stadium as a free agent. Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez have always admire the Frenchman from day one when he was still  in Monaco, but was yet to developed to the full-grown complete player this present day. Kylian Mbappe moving to La Liga would likely end up in Real Madrid because they're keen on signing him and scouting him on their rader for such long period of time. Barcelona have no interest in him, even though they did it would be a total struggle for them because they're having imbalance finances structure.

I don't think that will happen, because some time ago we also know that Mbappe received a contract extension for one season (until 2025) but with another agreement where he must be sold next season. It's probably a logical move on PSG's part because ultimately they won't be able to keep Mbappe forever at the moment.

I have been reading some news that said that if there were some clubs who anticipated mbappe's movement. These clubs are liverpool, chelsea and real madrid. PSG may also suffer another problem caused by the club's performance is too dependent on him this time. I cna't imagine PSG without mbappe. FYI, PSG has been loosing a lot of its fans when messi and neymar were leaving from there. I think that mbappe's movement to the another club will also give bad impact to the PSG.

What Mbappe wants now is not just money but more than league trophies and individual achievements. Although now he has got that but I don't think it's enough if he only succeeds with Ligue 1 because in the end there are bigger leagues like the Champions League and other much bigger domestic competitions like La Liga or the EPL that he might still be able to navigate as proof that he is one of the players to be reckoned with in the future.

Mbappe is still young and he aims to get as many trophies as possible by joining in another big club like real madrid. People shall also anticipate his movement anytime.
Mbappe is going to leave from there as free agent. That's why many clubs are interesting to take him even some EPL clubs. It's caused by the club didn't even really need to pay some money to the PSG to get him.

This is what most of club wanted to get a talented player for free. I think that many clubs will be offering mbappe huge salary.

[Oneandpure]

Opening match tomorrow for Ligue 1 matchday 9 between Le Havre vs Lens, as promotion teams not really poor with Le Havre performance in Ligue 1 with their statistic 2 win, 3 draw and 3 loss. Le Havre have better standings position than Lens with one point remaining but experienced team Lens has chance for continue the impressive after winning from Arsenal in Champion League last match.

Current standings, Ligue 1 seems interested for this season because several teams have fewest points left and opportunity for Le Havre or Lens if can winning this match they will move up until top six standings position. Lens have bad started in this season depend their achievement last season success finish on 2nd position, but in Ligue 1 season 2023/24 with 8 games they have loss four matches.

Strasbourg can't score many goals even though the gap with PSG is only 5 points. I don't think they can resist PSG in this game.

After the international break, there will definitely be differences in a team and with so many of PSG's main players being absent, it is possible that their performance will decline, but in my opinion this is not always the case because so far PSG's main players have not always been in good performance, in fact sometimes if opportunities are given to substitute players they will prove it by making a much better performance.

This is a very difficult season for Luis Enrique because since his arrival the PSG team's performance has actually decreased and the PSG squad also continues to lose its main players.
To be honest, I wouldn't expect much from Mbappe because so far Mbappe doesn't seem to be playing wholeheartedly for PSG anymore, it's clear from his increasingly minimal contribution.
So the match against Strasbourg this weekend is likely to be fierce in my opinion.

Opening match tomorrow for Ligue 1 matchday 9 between Le Havre vs Lens, as promotion teams not really poor with Le Havre performance in Ligue 1 with their statistic 2 win, 3 draw and 3 loss. Le Havre have better standings position than Lens with one point remaining but experienced team Lens has chance for continue the impressive after winning from Arsenal in Champion League last match.

Lens is standing in the 14th position just behind Le Havre in 13th rank, they had worst statistics this season and they are playing an away match, yet bookies are supporting Lens maybe because of the Champions League victory against Arsenal but also the draw with Lille in Ligue 1 just after.

Current standings, Ligue 1 seems interested for this season because several teams have fewest points left and opportunity for Le Havre or Lens if can winning this match they will move up until top six standings position. Lens have bad started in this season depend their achievement last season success finish on 2nd position, but in Ligue 1 season 2023/24 with 8 games they have loss four matches.

Points difference aren't that much between teams and every round the standing will change. The problem is a big team like Lyon is getting some distance from the others in the relegation zone. They only have three points, 4 points away from Lorient, which isn't a bad team either. I don't know if they could get their first victory this time vs Clermont Foot, the only team behind them

Strasbourg can't score many goals even though the gap with PSG is only 5 points. I don't think they can resist PSG in this game.

This of course could be an easier match for PSG if all these players can play in the match later, but the fact that many of PSG's core players cannot play does not reduce the betting market giving PSG very small odds, and if you look at the comparison it is clear that this is still the case. It will be an easy match for PSG because PSG gets odds @ 1.24 and Strasbourg @ 12.00.
PSG dominated every match they had with Strasbourg so this will still be a win for PSG and Kylian Mbappe has always been a player his team can rely on at important times so there is no doubt he will still score goals in this match.

[rojan]

French Soccer League Tomorrow Le Havre vs Lens team match will start. Fans of both teams are waiting to watch this match. It seems that we can enjoy a lot of hard-fought battles between the two teams. Both teams are almost at the same level in the points table. So which team is better in this match?  It is not clear in advance. However, the players of both teams will try hard to do well in the match. If we look at the last 5 matches of the two teams, Le Havre won 2 matches out of 5 matches, drew 1 match and lost the remaining 2 matches. On the other hand, Lens lost 5 matches.  Won 3 matches and drew the remaining 2 matches.

Le Havre vs Lens

This season indeed Lens has starting the league with poor performance this because in the first 5 matches Lens was collect 4 loses which make their position at relegation zone at that time but recently Lens has been able to bounce back and since they got draw result against Sevilla on champion league Lens was unbeatable until today and one of good result is when they can beat Arsenal with scores 2-1 and this result is very impressive because Arsenal is the strong team on champion league

The condition to Lens opponent Le Havre doesn't really good because from 2 latest matches Le Havre has been lose with conceded 5 goals so this could be utilized to Lens to resumes their winning streak and about team conditions i can see there was no important players who got injured or suspension so both teams can play with all of their key players and recent performance has been showing Lens has good chances to win the match and the bookmakers provide good odds for Lens @1.80

Lens never losses from the last three games. The club is always trying to improve its performance even better. Lens does have capability to beat le havre even though its opponent placed above them. Lens's odd is quite good at this moment. I think that lens will bounce back again starting from this moment. Lens vs havre is quite hard to predict but i would prefer to havre. It was offering really nice odds. I don't even need to risk my money by taking asian handicap.
Probably 1x2 lens fc or btts. one of these things are my choice for the match between havre vs lens very soon. Im very optimistic to see lens will able to show better performance compared with the previous match.

Recently, Lens' performance has changed, although it is not stable. however, in their last five matches in various competitions, Lens have not lost once. although, two of the matches ended in a draw. at least, now Lens is a little safer from the relegation zone which is ranked 14th on the standings. In this match, Lens will visit Le Havre's headquarters in the opening week of Ligue 1 after the international break. In this match, Franck Haise's squad needs a win to continue their unbeaten record in the 5 matches they have played in this league competition. Plus, by winning this match, Lens will move up the rankings to a safer zone. Apart from that, a win will be needed to motivate when Lens host PSV on the third matchday of the Champions League group phase. Like it or not, Lens has to do his job well, especially in the Champions League group stage matches.

Unfortunately, this match will not be easy for Lens even though Le Havre is a promoted team this season. the reason is, if we refer to the statistics of these two teams, there are not many significant differences. The difference is, Lens is starting to get back on track. Meanwhile, Le Havre experienced defeat in their last two matches. It looks like Lens will go all out in this match to get full points with an offensive game pattern. Meanwhile, the home team will play with a defensive system. So, this match will be quite tough. My guess is, the match will end in a draw. However, to be safe in betting, the Under 2.5 goals option with odds of 1.73 is the ideal choice for me.
