French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bestcoins1]

Regarding the game between Monaco and Metz, I was very shocked when Metz scored the first goal in the first minute of the game and I'm sure most of the players in Monaco were also shocked because Metz was not a team to be a strong team to stand against a team like Monaco, especially with the performance we saw from Monaco in this season so far.
Because Monaco is currently the favorite for winning the French League title even more than a team like PSG.

It was natural that the Monaco players were surprised because the goal from the Metz team came four minutes after the match started, but Monaco also equalized before the first half ended. And Monaco took the lead again in the second half to claim victory on home soil and to keep them in first place in the Ligue1 standings. I also believe that if Monaco can continue to consistently win like that this season, it will be very possible for Monaco to win the Ligue 1 title this season.

Lyon have had a pretty disappointing start to the season in Ligue 1 and so far they have suffered 6 defeats which has left them at the bottom of the standings with three points. Lyon's performance this season is also quite surprising because they were unable to play well when facing teams that were far below their quality. It is very disappointing...

Lyon have one of the worst starting of the season since so long time, at a point where we doubt they could get up and avoid the relegation this season if they continue performing like that. I can't believe they lost vs Clermont Foot, the team that is just behind them in the standings with 0 victory before the match. Now things look worse for them in the last spot with 3 points after 9 games

[rendravolt]

I had hoped that the arrival of Fabio Grosso would provide fresh air for the Lyon squad, but it seems that he was also unable to produce the best results and the defeat against Clermont further closed Lyon's chances of escaping the relegation zone this season. The reason is that we are already in week 9 and there will be at least 25 more matches before this season ends.

I think it is very difficult to collect points when Lyon has only managed to collect 3 points so far without ever winning once. Maybe Lyon just needs to hope for a miracle to survive in Ligue 1 this season and if that miracle doesn't come then they must be ready to be thrown into Ligue 2 next season.

[bering]

The change of coach from Laurent Blanc to Fabio Grosso also has not provided good results for Lyon, so they continue to experience quite embarrassing defeats. This condition will be quite dangerous if Fabio Grosso is unable to bring Lyon to play much better because if he is unable to produce positive results then it will be increasingly difficult for Lyon to get out of the relegation zone.

I have to says the decision to change manager from Laurent Blanc to Fabio Grosso was not run well because Lyon performance was never been better under Grosso and total Lyon has through an 5 matches in Ligue 1 with Grosso but Lyon only able to collect 2 points and the loses from Clermont was very unexpected because before this match i was so confident Lyon will be able to win the match because Clermont is weaker than them and this result make them will be so hard to avoiding relegation
Conceded 18 goals and scores 7 goals from 9 matches proven Lyon have a problem to their attacking lines and their defensive lines so this make Lyon seems always be difficult to gets the winning results for each matches and Lyon now is the strong candidate to be relegated this season

Losing against Clermont Foot that were at the bottom is the height of their downfall and I think it would take more than a miracle for them to survive this season, they're the only team without any win and have only managed to get 3 points this season if they couldn't beat Clermont Foot at home to atleast boost their confidence level then I think the team is finished and relegation awaits them, cause I don't see them doing better in tgeir next matches.

 Last season Lyon finish 7th place but this season they're not even playing like a team that finished closed to the 15th place, they're playing like a relegation team that just got newly promoted into the Ligue 1, there next match would be very tough for them even though they'll be playing at home, they'll be facing Marseille and I doubt if they'll be able to win that match.

Lyon must win. It's time for Lyon to get up to get away from the relegation zone.
We are concerned about the decline of Lyon who are no longer a team in the race for trophies for the last two seasons. This season has been the most difficult season for them.
This is different from Clermont Foot, which is still relatively new to Ligue 1 even though it is at the bottom of the standings.

If possible, in this match the Lyon players must forget all the problems that occur within their squad and use the match against Clermont Foot to rise to the top 10 of the standings.

Lyon failed again in that match even though they were playing at home and they also faced teams that were just as strong this season, namely both ranked at the bottom of the standings, but they still failed to make changes because Clermont was able to steal 3 points at Lyon's home ground. I think this season Lyon is really the weakest team in Ligue 1 because they haven't been able to win even 1 win this season.

I think Lyon will not be able to get out of the relegation zone if there are no changes made by management to improve their quality. I think they seem to have given up hope of getting up even though they still have a lot of time to improve their ranking in the standings table.

[Cryptmuster]

Yes, I also agree with you that the game was very balanced, and it can be said that Nice won because they were lucky enough in this match. With this victory Nice can maintain their position at the top of the standings with only 1 point difference from Paris Saint Germain who are right below them.
Nice are also the only club unbeaten so far, but even so, there are still notes that they must improve, one of which is in their attack line. Because they have problems there, as evidenced by only being able to only create 10 goals from 9 matches they play.

Actually, Nice is above PSG, but this is not so important, at this stage there is only a two-point difference between PSG and Monaco and it is these three teams that will most likely get direct access to the Champions League. This season, France gets another place in the Champions League, which is a great achievement, and while Lille is in fourth place, I doubt that Brest will be able to move them up, and Marseille is still playing weakly enough, to lay claim to their place.

I was somewhat skeptical when Lyon's leadership placed their trust in Fabio Grosso in the mission to "rescue Lyon." Lyon used to be a force in French football, but this season, they are sinking into an endless crisis. Even with such a weak Clermont, coach Grosso still doesn't know how to beat it, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to stay in France for long.
Since arriving in Lyon, Grosso has only experienced failures. But he didn't give up. And he still believes in recovery. Even though he is in last place, Grosso and his teammates still have enough matches to continue.

Monaco has really been at their best this season and I think they are aiming at the league title as well if possible but then so far with their performance, they could possibly make it but with a slight point difference or maybe goal difference but very importantly they would have to maintain this form and be consistent with good results from every game they play till the season ends, it will be really interesting to see a new champion in the Ligue 1 this season aside PSG that we have been too used to.

Camara's quick goal in the 4th minute actually made a surprise that was beyond prediction but with the performance shown by Monaco in this match it was not something that needed to be worried about. Monaco's dominance was extraordinary in this match, besides that the opportunities they had also showed confidence that indeed 3 points could be obtained easily and the result was that Golovin's brace made them get 3 points again in this match.

Currently they are still ahead at the top of the table but indeed the competition is now increasingly visible and this is quite interesting.

PSG's win against Strasbourg was much needed for PSG. I don't see anything against PSG not winning against Strasbourg. PSG is a much stronger team than Strasbourg. Strasbourg have been at the bottom of the points table every season and if PSG can't win against them, they will win against any other team. Luis Enrique used a strange strategy against Strasbourg. The former Barcelona manager arranged the players in 4-2-2-2 format. Such a field setup is seen in very few matches. One benefit of arranging the field in this way is that the defense is more secure and the midfield can provide good support to the defenders.

It's good news for PSG, who moved from fifth position to second position in the points table. PSG's point gap with Nice is now only 1, expect PSG to recover 1 point in their next match and move to the top of the points table.

I absolutely agree with you on PSG's prowess against Strasbourg. Given the vast differences in team strengths, PSG should have always been the dominant side in that match-up. The tactical choice of a 4-2-2-2 formation is quite intriguing, though. I feel Enrique might be using Strasbourg as a testing ground for new tactics, considering the relative ease of the opponent. The choice to solidify the defense and get more from the midfield is smart, especially when aiming to maintain ball possession and control the game. That leap from fifth to second is indeed commendable, and I genuinely feel PSG can further close the gap. However, facing stronger teams with the same formation might pose challenges. Enrique should be cautious in the future, and ensure he tailors his tactics based on the opponent

I think it's too early to talk about who will get a place in the Champions League for next season, because the league has just started and it's not even halfway through the season yet. It's still a long way to go to talk about who will be in first and second place.
Maybe at the moment Monaco and Nice can still be above Paris Saint Germain, but the question in my mind is whether they will be able to consistently maintain the place they are sitting now, because they still have a lot of games to play, and we also don't know what they will face later.

They showed what they should do, yes with a fairly easy opponent they should have won this match. Camara's surprise goal was answered before the end of the first half, and early in the second half they scored a quick goal to turn the game around. It was a bit of a surprise when they found it so hard to get ahead in this match, but they still managed to come out on top despite the tight goal difference.
If they can maintain their stablity, then winning the title is not impossible.

Winning the title is not an easy thing for Monaco but indeed they can still compete even though the chance is a little smaller because still in the end we also know that for now the strongest candidate for Ligue 1 is still the same as usual where PSG is the only club that is most favorite to win and no other club can match PSG in terms of favorites for now but when in the end Monaco gives the same performance as now in every match they do then it is not impossible. The only club that is the most favorite to win and there is no other club that can compensate for PSG in terms of favorites for now but when in the end Monaco gives the same performance as now in every matchs they do then it is not impossible that they can also take the championship candidate just like Lille did in the 2020-2021 season but indeed this will definitely not be easy especially with the current conditions where the position is still very tight if we look at the moment then with a long enough time the results at the end of the season are still unpredictable.

Mbappe will leave PSG and with this problem PSG will experience slight decline and on one hand, Mbappe ambition is no longer like previous season because in almost every match I see Mbappe enthusiasm is no longer there its too big again and it all probably because of previous problems.

looking at point difference, it still very close and there will be many changes in position in the next few matches, but after that we can see if Mbappe is too far behind in points I think this season will not be PSG season.

There are many people out there who are questioning Lyon's performance and I think it is very natural considering that Lyon has never started a season like this until they are slumped in the relegation zone and can only collect 3 points from 9 matches. Of course, there were many bettors who lost this match because Lyon was the favorite to win, especially as they played as hosts. But unfortunately Lyon couldn't answer most people's beliefs and they again suffered bad results. I think everyone must understand that the current Lyon is not the Lyon that was quite promising last season.

Last season was clearly still a good achievement by finishing in 7th position but to repeat this again this season seems very impossible. In my opinion, Lyon being able to survive the relegation zone is their best achievement this season and they have to work hard to get that.

[KTChampions]

Lyon have one of the worst starting of the season since so long time, at a point where we doubt they could get up and avoid the relegation this season if they continue performing like that. I can't believe they lost vs Clermont Foot, the team that is just behind them in the standings with 0 victory before the match. Now things look worse for them in the last spot with 3 points after 9 games

Yes, these are very unusual results for them. Moreover, if you look at other statistics, it looks natural - they scored goals at the level of the worst team and conceded one goal less than the worst team in this indicator. Now their chances for the title are assessed at the level of odds of Toulouse, Nantes, Strasbourg, etc. 1 in 501. It is unlikely that they will be able to rise to the European Cup zone, but at the same time I am sure that they will remain in League 1.

It's true, what wrong with Lyon performance at the moment, so they haven't won a single win and have only been able to collect three points. We know that Lyon in the last decade has been one of PSG rival clubs. Holding their status as one of Ligue 1 elite clubs by collecting a total of 7 trophies in the competition, currently they seem to have lost their way, and are even threatened with degradation at the end of the season. It was quite surprising for everyone, of course, that even a change of coach had not been able to improve the team performance.

I think this is their worst season in the last decade, and I don't imagine Lyon will change their status to a mediocre club. Fabio Grosso is currently responsible for the team overall performance, they must immediately get up and do their best in the next match before disaster really becomes a disaster of degradation.

PSG have been able to improve their position considerably. After a few matches in the beginning of the season, PSG's position was from 5th to 6th in the points table and then we thought that maybe PSG will not be in a good position this season but due to their good performances in the last few matches they have been able to improve their points table considerably.

Monaco is number one in the points table with 20 points and PSG is in third position in the points table with 2 points less than them. The performance of PSG in the last few matches, if their consistency is maintained for most of the season, then it should not be difficult for PSG to recover these 2 points and go to the number one position in the points table. PSG will have to try to improve their performance from the current position they are in. If their performance deteriorates from this position, they could drop back to the bottom of the points table.

Let's see, after all, this competition has only been running for 9 matches. even though Monaco are currently at the top of the standings, they are not very consistent in their 9 matches so far. two draws, one defeat against Nice. In the next match, Manaco will visit Lille headquarters. this match will be a crucial match for Monaco which will be tested to continue its consistency. If they get minor results, then Nice and PSG are ready to overtake their position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Referring to the H2H meeting between these two teams, Monaco had difficulty winning their match against Lille both away and at home.

As for the Nice squad, at least their opponents will be Clermont who are in the red zone. Nice's chance to continue their victory is quite wide open. As for Paris Saint-Germain, from my point of view, Enrique is trying to find the ideal pattern with the system he is implementing. After PSG host Milan, they will visit Brest. and in any case, PSG has the probability of winning the match against Brest later. Well, it could be that next week there will be changes to the Ligue 1 standings. So, let's just wait and enjoy.

Yes, it's natural that Lyon can't perform like before because several players have left the club, causing the club performance to decline and other problems I don't really pay attention because Lyon is not part of my favorite club, but if I look at yesterday's match, a lot of people bet on Clermont even though Lyon is the favorite, I had time to analyze but not bet. I saw that Clermont had a bigger chance of winning in terms of player performance, which was slightly superior to Clermont and it was all proven that Lyon must at least immediately recover from this downturn or if not they must be ready to be relegated this season.

Of a truth, Paris Saint Germaine are currently occupying the third position on the French Ligue 1 standings and are two points behind league leaders Monaco but I still consider them as the favourites to win the French Ligue 1 title at the end of the season and that's because if the kind of quality players in their squad.
The club's poor results this season I think is caused by the manager's poor decisions and playing pattern. Last weekend, we saw them cruise to convincing victory against Strasbourg because Luis Enrique cane up with a formation that worked. So if the manager can introduce good playing style that'll bring out the best from his team, overtaking the league leaders shouldn't be a huge problem for PSG.
