French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[topbitcoin]

We can say that the lens has made a good leap forward and has come to its senses. They played great matches in League 1 with this squad last year. They couldn't start this year the way they wanted, but they are slowly getting to where they wanted to be. They are currently that strong team that is a threat to any team in League 1. On the other hand, Lille overpowered Monaco and took 3 points away from them. League 1 leader is now Nice.

Slowly they are picking up and this is what they should have done from the start because the changes at the beginning of the season were very lame and this is not like Lens last season.

This first big win for Lens is very good but it is still not enough for them because to return to a decent position and if they want to be considered as one of the dark horse clubs again like last season they must now start to try to be consistent and play like when they played against Nantes because this is important for them considering the position is still not too suitable for them now.

PSG didn't surprise me by winning only by a one-goal gap against Brest. I wasn't expecting them to have a comfortable game against a strong Brest. Because Brest started the season really solidly but for a couple of weeks their form has been on the decline. This was a big opportunity for PSG also to hit them hard.

However I didn't expect a big score because PSG are still an inconsistent team. It is quite difficult to predict them in the Ligue 1 as well. Mbappe played a huge role in this win of course. I don't know what they will do when he isn't able to play or if he leaves the team by the end of the season.

PSG aren't solid neither doing well in any competition. Imagine them waiting every time for Mbappe to score a goal and save them from wasting points easily.. I know Brest are doing well this season but PSG is a top team that play internationally vs the best teams in the world and not only local ones.. I wonder how they will manage to win Ligue 1 from the time of Mbappe leave them this winter or next summer..
Otherwise as expected the match between Lille and Monaco was interesting and Monaco allowed both PSG and Nice pass them in the ranking. That's why I always say the problem with this league isn't how good PSG are but how bad the others do..

[Hirose UK]

Nice is team that is in its best phase this season and they even managed to beat the team that previously always dominated Ligue 1.
Whether this will last long or not cannot be confirmed because Monaco and PSG are trying to catch up to fight for top position.

This season Nice has had many surprises in the league. 1 of the ten matches they have played they are unbeaten so far they have only managed four draws and six wins. This is good for Nice as an ordinary team but they are able to compete with PSG as we know they are very complete with the players they have.

PSG will play Brest even though PSG wins they are still one point behind Nice. The one who can overtake Nice this week is Monaco. This is even if Monaco wins over Lille. It's true that Nice won't last long in first place, but at least they've done their best so far.

We all recognize Nice greatness from the start of the season until now but PSG also seems to have improved quite drastically in the last few matches so Nice really has to collect full points in every match so that PSG doesn't move them from first place.
But are you sure Nice can consistently maintain all this for long time until the League ends?
Because there will be ups and downs in every football team and we cannot determine when they will experience them.

These three top teams will always compete for first place, but if they are trying to get the title then safer shift is when the League is almost over so that when they advance in first place it makes it difficult for other teams to catch up.
I also want to see who between Nice, PSG and Monaco can win the title this season.

Nice are very serious about winning the league this season though it's too early to decide that yet, however their performance is very impressive so far and their good performance has landed them in the 1st position, however they shouldn't be relaxed and still continue working hard to maintain that position for a while to give them a boost in the title raise, cause PSG is directly behind them waiting for them to drop points.

 Monaco would've still been the leaders of the league currently but they lost their position to Nice and could still drop if they fail to perform well against Brest in their next match, well they've got more advantage in the game cause they're the hosting team  however they need to be careful against Brest who can be very dangerous.

I don't know what they will do when he isn't able to play or if he leaves the team by the end of the season.

PSG's performance yesterday either impressed me or not because initially PSG was only able to compete in a draw and after almost approaching the final minute luck came to get a penalty and even Mbappe's kick almost failed but succeeded in getting 1 additional goal which gave PSG the win and still all this relied on Mbappe while Until now, Enrique has not been able to control other players to become a strong club without mainstay players, while Mbappe is certain to leave in the coming season.
Maybe a lot will happen but it is quite difficult for PSG without Mbappe because he is still very reliable and PSG still depends on this player and I can't imagine what PSG's future will be without Mbappe.

[X-ray]

The match was officially postponed due to an attack on the away team's bus which caused the Lyon coach and his assistant to suffer serious facial injuries, this is not good news for Ligue 1. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/marseille-lyon-postponed-fabio-grosso-attack-b1116683.html

The match will of course be held at a different time and the results will very likely not be different because the two teams are in quite different conditions, where Lyon will face difficulties in getting points and will keep them at the bottom of the standings.

What Fabio Grosso has experienced is very tragic and I think the police must immediately look for the fans who threw stones at Marseille's bus. Actions like this are totally unacceptable and of course we know that the Marseille vs Lyon match is very heated considering that both are big teams in the league. Maybe the motive for throwing stones is still unknown and this will tarnish the name of the city of Marseille as an unsafe city for a crucial match. I hope this incident does not happen again and in the future we can make matches safe and comfortable for everyone. FIFA will definitely consider this issue and will impose heavy sanctions.

It's not all but this is not my first time to see this kind of incident. Fabio grosso's head was also bleeding after being attacked by marseille fans. Marseille fans were so stupid as fuck. They never have mind to understand what meant of respect to the their opponents.
I do agree to the lyon's owned to postpone the game. Marseille's fans are having shitty attitude. They were as bad as PSG fans. Im not even having respect toward marseille's fans. They were only making the name of their favorite clubs looked so disgusting.
Lyon's owned has explained that if the club was still able to playing the game against marseille but due to the put more respects to the fabio which was being injured.

I can even understand if lyon was postponing this game. I hope that fabio will able to recover from his injury as soon as possible. Marseille needs to make sure any club that was coming to their stadions must be safe from arrogant fans like that.
These kind of fans were only destroying the reputation of clubs caused by they barbarian attitude.

Since the start of the season, we've seen that Kylian Mbappe has been the star player for the Paris Saint Germaine team but I don't think it simply means that the club solely rely on him for them to win their games because I think the club manager Luis Enrique is too experienced to build a team that'll rely on the brilliance of just one player before they can win any game.
Kylian Mbappe is a phenomenal that'll be very influential in a club he finds himself anywhere in the world but that doesn't mean that his his personal brilliance with the ball and always scoring goals means that any team he finds himself do rely on him. Without Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint Germaine has all it takes to win games but the fact that they have a big player like Mbappe in their squad, it's never a bad thing to build the team around him.

It must be like that. I can still accept the reason from lyon to postpone this match. Fabio's head was hitting by a stone. No reason to continue the match while lyon was missing him in the game. The police needs to take a step as soon as possible.
This is why i don't even like the french supporters. They were not able showing their respects toward their opponents. It will be so good if police will able to gather the information regarding someone who was throwing stone to fabio's head.
This is a shame for marseille caused by the club can't even control the emotion of its fans at this moment. I hope marseille will be taking an action to prevent the same incident to happen again in the future.

The league is becoming more interesting and competitive recently,  some clubs are beginning to drop while some that were underperforming are beginning to improve and club up to the top,Monaco failed to maintain the 1st place when they faced Lille and conceded 2 goals without any reply, and they’ve now given Nice the opportunity to be at the very top, however Nice have to try being consistent so they'll not lose that spot to another team.

 PSG almost drew against Brest yesterday if not for the late hour penalty goal by Mbappé,  they need to be consistent as well if they want to retain their title this season, well i don't think Rennes would win against Nice, cause Nice are more preferable to win the game based on a home advantage, however Monaco might drop points cause they'll be facing Brest, uhmm im not very sure about PSG vs Montpellier but i think PSG would win the game.

At least, for this week the points distance from the top 4 in the standings is not far apart, Nice with 22 points, PSG with 21 points, Monaco with 20 points and Lille with 18 points. It's quite competitive indeed, at least in the next few weeks. However, I doubt that Nice will continue with its positive trend. This means that next week Nice could fail to get full points when they host Rennes, however the temporary odds do not have a significant difference, even though the bookies still favor the home team. I suspect, this meeting will not produce any points. "This is just an assumption without basis", I mean, without any basis in research and analysis.

Likewise with Monaco. their defeat to Lille, as I previously predicted. If every match played by Manaco doesn't look solid, they will end up losing at home to Lille. Next week, Monaco will host Brest. As we know, Brest put up resistance against PSG last week. In the next match, something similar could potentially happen when Monaco hosts Brest this week. Well, these two teams have the potential to lose points this week.
For PSG, as I said, slowly Enrique will bring his team to the top of the standings. So, it's just a matter of time. and if that doesn't happen, it means that Enrique is not capable of coaching Paris Saint-Germain.

[Slow death]

I confess that when I saw the news about the attack that Lyon's coach suffered, I was shocked and at the same time I was thinking: these episodes could be the beginning of something more serious, I say that with sadness, because when Neymar and Messi were playing in France, they also faced a lot of constant criticism from PSG fans, and they weren't just criticisms with soft words, they were criticisms using insulting words and I believe that the bad behavior that PSG fans had against Neymar and Messi was something that should already serve as a sign that one day things could not end just with words and reach the level of physical violence, and in this case it was not the fault of PSG fans but of Lyon fans due to their dissatisfaction with Lyon's poor performance

but this opens up a lot of space for aggressive fans of other teams, such as PSG fans, to lose their fear and start using violence to impose themselves and create changes in the team when they become dissatisfied with the team's performance. and the problem with this type of bad and reprehensible behavior is that many of these aggressive people do not realize that football is played on the field and when it ends people should not fight and a team has managers who choose the coach and these fans can write a letter of complaint and send it to the club's top manager and they don't need to resort to violence



What would have happened if Lyon's coach died? They would become criminals and convicted of murder, and would face a sentence of more than 18 years in prison, even now they have already become criminals because they will have to be convicted of physical assault and material damage to the car they destroyed. Can you imagine how the relatives of those guys who attacked the Lyon coach will look at them? Maybe they even move away from them, and all because of not being able to control emotions in football. destroy life because of it.

[Leviathan.007]

About 50 minutes from now, the 10th Ligue 1 match between Marseille vs Lyon will be played.
Marseille in this match was the host and Lyon came as the visiting team. Lyon's position is currently very low in Ligue 1. How could it not be, already entering week 10, Lyon have only collected 3 points and they are sinking at the bottom of the standings.

Marseille and Lyon are both coached by two coaches who have played for the Italian national team, so this match, apart from Lyon's efforts to rise from the bottom of the standings, is also a match to prove the coaching strategy between Gattuso and Grosso.

The match was officially postponed due to an attack on the away team's bus which caused the Lyon coach and his assistant to suffer serious facial injuries, this is not good news for Ligue 1. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/marseille-lyon-postponed-fabio-grosso-attack-b1116683.html

The match will of course be held at a different time and the results will very likely not be different because the two teams are in quite different conditions, where Lyon will face difficulties in getting points and will keep them at the bottom of the standings.
Monaco lost to Lille and PSG managed to win against Brest making changes to second place in the standings, and maybe PSG is waiting for Nice to also slip in the next match.
PSG managed to win after Mbappe scored his second goal in the match and Brest, who was trailing 0-2, managed to equalize but once again Mbappe saved his team and managed to get 3 points.

I saw the news too about Marseille vs Lyon and this match was postponed without certain time this because Lyon bus was attacked by Marseille fans 2 hours before the match begin and it make Grosso has serious injured and i am sure Marseille will get sanctions from this incident and this is not the first time because on 2021 the match also postponed because similar incident at the stadium

For other match unfortunately Monaco was unable to managed their consistency yesterday because they lose from Lille with scores 2-0 and this result make their position was overtaked by Nice who previously win from Clermont yesterday but Nice position also quite risky because they only have 1 difference point above to PSG and if Nice failed to win in the upcoming match then PSG has a good chances to occupy first place

I'm not sure what happened in the game between Marseille and Lyon in the French league but since I'm following them on social media, It seems the fans of Marseille were attacking the Lyon teams and coach for no reason. This made Fabio Grosso injured and I think there is going to be some kind of suspension for Marseille and their fans.
Marseille could easily win this game without any drama.

[swogerino]

That was stupid,very stupid of Marseille fans,the same shit happening also in other leagues in Europe which had a lot of other games suspended like Alkmar yesterday night.Lyon is in the last place of the standings and this was a golden opportunity for Marseille to get that win who would boost some what their position in a season which has not started in the best of the ways for them.This kind of behavior will put them at risk of not only fines and playing without fans in the stadium from quite a long time but also will put them at risk of being removed points or even worse expelled to lower divisions from such behavior.Nothing looks good for Marseille this year so far.

[Litzki1990]

But I think that a different coach would be able to make them much stronger than they are right now. I agree that regarding the names, some of the exclusivity was gone when Messi and Neymar left the club, but when you look at their whole squad they still have plenty of quality. I would like to know how far a top coach could develop this team. With someone like Zidane or Guardiola I believe they would be better off. Enrique may not be a bad coach, but i never found him to be particularly good. He had some good timing when he had all these great players and won the Champions League, but apart from that I wouldn't say he is among the best coaches.

I don't know how you feel about it but a manager can change a lot of a team. A team arranges their team with many good players but how to play in which position, how to plan against which team or why to raise which player and drop which player at any time.

This is what we saw with the previous team of PSG, no doubt the previous team had world class players but lacked a manager to give the right direction. If this team could have been guided in the right direction from that time, then this team would have at least won a Champions League trophy by now. Luis Enrique is working with this team and he has managed to change some areas of this team and that is definitely a positive change. If he works with this team for a long time, the performance of this team will change more.

[hahay]

To be honest, I bet on Marseille to win this match but what happened was, Marseille fans were really stupid . Because after all, the reality is that at this moment Lyon is also in a situation and condition that is destroyed and of course, with the bad conditions that Lyon is experiencing at this moment can be a great opportunity for Marseille to win with a big score. So ya, with a bad incident like this, I hope Marseille will get a heavy punishment, not only about fines and also not only about no spectators, but I also hope Marseille gets a point deduction. Because obviously, Marseille fans must receive severe punishment from this incident, and that punishment will befall their favorite club of course.

sorry to hear about the incident experienced by the Lyon squad, this is truly the stupidest thing a group of football fans have ever done, even though if the match between Marseille vs Lyon takes place, i'm sure Marseille will win the match, things like this actually make Ligue 1 less interesting to watch.

i was quite surprised to see that Brest was able to equalize 2-2 in the second half, but apparently everything ended differently, PSG finally won 3-2 through the last goal made by Mbappe, Mbappe succeeded in scoring 2 goals, good work Mbappe succeeded in making PSG successful continues to approach NICE which is currently in 1st place.

I think each coach has a different strategy and approach, as well as analyzing the strength of the opposing team and maximizing the potential of the players in the squad. We certainly understand very well that to achieve success, coaches must be able to build a bridge between star players and other players, which in the end will be seen as a solid team. Pep and Zidane are good coaches, and I know very well what they have achieved, but there is no guarantee that either of them can deliver a Champions League trophy any time soon for PSG.

I think it's just a matter of time for PSG to realize their ambitions, ups and downs in performance are very normal. We will see how Enrique ends this season, how good his quality is so that management thinks he is worth keeping. Sometimes I remember Chelsea journey when they won the UCL for the first time with their interim coach at that time, and we have seen how many coaches Abramovich fired before Chelsea won it.

My prediction about this match was not right and I was not expecting to see Monaco lose this game. Maybe it was because of the unstable performance they had during this season otherwise they could normally beat Lille in this match easily. I think at the end of this season Monaco will feel regret because of these points they lost easily because their performance in this match against Lille was good but they could win the game.

[xzone]

PSG didn't surprise me by winning only by a one-goal gap against Brest. I wasn't expecting them to have a comfortable game against a strong Brest. Because Brest started the season really solidly but for a couple of weeks their form has been on the decline. This was a big opportunity for PSG also to hit them hard.

However I didn't expect a big score because PSG are still an inconsistent team. It is quite difficult to predict them in the Ligue 1 as well. Mbappe played a huge role in this win of course. I don't know what they will do when he isn't able to play or if he leaves the team by the end of the season.

If Mbappe had not scored a goal in the last minute, they would have lost two points from this match. PSG is not a really stable team this year and it is not possible to say that they are successful. Of course, we do not expect them to play very comfortably against a team like Brest, but the fact that they conceded two goals is a bad thing for them. They need to continue without making mistakes to become champions and right now they are not good enough, they risk losing points every week

[Velvet78]

Nice have finally captured the lead from Monaco and consolidated it after the loss Monaco got against Lille. Nice played a more comfortable game compared to them though. Because Lille are one of the decent teams of the season. But it still surprised me to see Monaco having that much struggle against them.

I would have expected to see some goals from Monaco. Instead they finished the first half by conceding two goals.    Lille started to focus on keeping the score later on and Monaco were quite dominant in the second half. But still there was no goal. I hope they learned their lesson from this game.
