French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Strongkored]

Olympique Lyon is an important team and this table is their big problem. Lyon beat Rennes 1-0 and got the first victory. By beating Lyon and Rennes, the last team in the league, they showed that even though they are last, they have a quality squad. Lyon will be saved from the lower ranks, but being in this rank will make them self-criticize after a long time.

A red card was issue to Rennes in the early minutes of the game and that made the performance of Les Rouges et Noirs decline and affected them throughout the game. How do Rennes feels to lose against bottom team this season? Lyon really did a good job to shock Rennes in the game, and that's definitely not what the home team picture to happen. Fabio Grosso feels good to grab his first winning this season, it's been really rough for Olympique Lyonnias this season and this winning is entirely what the team needs to boosts their performance and hope of fighting for position to remain in the Ligue One this season.

Of course, this result was very encouraging for Lyon and Grosso, who had previously been injured by being hit by a stone when he was about to bring his squad to play against Marseille.
He felt very bad because he had not managed to bring his team to a single win and the incident was painful, but this victory was greatly helped by the red card Rennes got, had the red card not occurred in the early minutes of the first half, Lyon's most likely result would have been a draw because we can see how they also had difficulty scoring goals and they only created them in the second half and they were scored by their defenders, not strikers.
In the next three matches, Lyon will probably face defeat again because facing Lillie, Lens and Marseille are teams that will be difficult for them to beat and it is very possible that this team will score a lot of goals against them, especially since two of the three matches are away matches for Lyon.

[rendravolt]

Winning by any score is definitely very important for Lyon because they have never won since the start of the season and they only felt it in Week 12. Another advantage in this match was that Rennes only played with 10 people after one of their players received a red card at the start of the match.

This made Lyon even more favored to win and O'brien scored Lyon's only winning goal in the second half. With this victory, Lyon has collected 7 points and they still need 6 more points to get out of the relegation zone and that is another challenge they have to overcome.

Ligue One matches have become very interesting lately and the best teams will eventually emerge as the champion of Ligue One tournament this season while the underperforming teams that are unable to meet up the standard points will be relegated. Rennes vs Olympique Lyonnias, what I expected and the visitors grab the winning points. If not for the Red card for the home team in the early five minutes of the first half, there's completely nothing Lyon would have done to grab a winning,  rather they will settle for draw points. Lyon boss, Fabio Grosso have to prepare for more challenging games if he truly wants to escape relegation this season.

Of course Lyon will not always get this luck and they must be able to maximize each match with better results. Maybe no one thought that Lyon would not be able to achieve a single victory, but suddenly something detrimental to Rennes happened and it resulted in an absolute victory for Lyon from the first minute. Maybe not many people have lost money because they bet on Rennes and conversely, those who bet on Lyon will definitely be very happy with the results of their bets. The relegation zone still haunts Lyon and they must not be careless again so that they can avoid defeat and of course winning will be their priority to be able to escape the grip of the relegation zone.

Lyon's journey to get out of the relegation zone will take a very long time, that's because based on their own performance which is still erratic and even tends to be bad, as evidenced by the 1 victory they managed to get that had to wait until week 12.
Now that hope arises after they managed to book their first victory, but they must still do hard work to make them better. One more thing, this first victory they achieved was inseparable from their numerical advantage after Rennes only played with 10 people even from the 5th minute.

Believe it or not, I still have faith that Lyon will soon strengthen their performance to avoid the relegation zone despite going through a long period of time, but remember, Lyon is one of the clubs that is quite good in League 1 and we will see a pretty good performance after getting a few wins or getting players. just from the transfer market later.

I guess nobody nobody thought the table would be looking like this for Olympique Lyon after 11 games, but this trend looks so bad for them that I also doubt that they will recover from that. Because this is not just about bad results, but about having the second weakest offense of the league. 7 points after eleven games doesn't look like an outlier that will soon be corrected. This could a fierce fight until the last day against the relegation zone.

Lyon's recent form makes it clear that they are in a difficult situation. Their problem is more complex (possibly even internal) than a few poor performances. Only one victory in eleven games is a clear sign that something is wrong. Conversely, there are clubs like PSG that feature stars like Kylian Mbappé, who is still a powerful force in sports even though he hasnt won the Ballon d'Or. The circumstances of Lyon are very different from these elite teams. They must immediately reevaluate and deal with these internal problems. Not only is it important to make up ground today, but restructuring is also necessary for a more secure future in the league.

regarding Lyon who have very poor achievements in league 1 and are even among the weakest teams this season here but I still want to see how Fabio Grosso efforts as a coach are to improve Lyon situation but on the one hand this coach seems to be having problems after the incident at that time and I have not Following the development of the coach's condition and I will wait until january, if Lyon cannot improve the situation to avoid the relegation zone, the chances are very small that they will be able to escape the relegation zone.

[Velvet78]

I don't think Lyon can beat Lille in such condition. I mean they had huge difficulties in doing that even while they were having a better season previously. Lille were the better playing side in that game but Lyon still won by 1-0 home. But now the situation is really worrisome for Lyon. That win over Rennes wasn't even easy one.

Because despite Rennes' getting a very early red card Lyon still had big difficulties. They even let the game become more balanced in the second half. I can't trust this Lyon for betting as a result. But I wouldn't bet on Lille either as a similar scenario might happen and it would find me.

Olympique Lyon is an important team and this table is their big problem. Lyon beat Rennes 1-0 and got the first victory. By beating Lyon and Rennes, the last team in the league, they showed that even though they are last, they have a quality squad. Lyon will be saved from the lower ranks, but being in this rank will make them self-criticize after a long time.

Lyon has experienced a drastic decline this season, it looks like a very significant change when compared to last season, even this first win has not changed their position and is still at the bottom of the standings. They have performed badly since the start of the seasonif not for Rennes losing 1 player in the opening minutes of the match and being forced to play with 10 players, it wasn't certain that Lyon would be successful in winning the match, and in my opinion, when Rennes was forced to play with 10 players, Rennes seemed to have difficulty maintaining balance, so Lyon managed to take the opportunity to score a goal against Rennes.

However yes, it's still early in the season and Lyon still has time to improve their position from the relegation zone, even though it's a little difficult with their declining condition, but Lyon must fight hard so that next season they can still compete in League 1.

[tusandii]

After the international break there will be another interesting competition for us to watch when PSG succeeds in shifting Nice's position and in the upcoming match PSG will have to compete against Monaco while Monaco is currently having a very good performance because they know PSG's weaknesses and if PSG cannot get 3 points From Monaco, Nice will definitely take over first place in the League 1 points table.
Meanwhile, Nice will only compete against weak clubs like Toulouse, who have only got 2 wins since the start of the season, so it is very easy for Nice to get 3 points which can shift PSG's position.
However, it all depends on how the players at these two clubs are after the international break.

[temple]

But people are quick with saying that the start for Lens is unsatisfying. I agree that the start was far from perfect, but I wonder what the club goals are. Did they really expect to average like more than 2 points per game or something? I don't believe so. I think this start into the season was quite realistic and while I don't like the talk about how it is a burden to top clubs when they play many competitions, this is rather true for a small club like Lens. Handling the pressure from playing Ligue 1, Champions League and Coup de France is much harder for Lens to cope with than for PSG.

Last season, Lens only participated in two competitions, namely Ligue 1 and Coupe de France. plus they also have some pretty good players, so Franck Haise was able to maximize the team's squad to finish in 2nd place in Ligue 1. In last season's transfer window, they sold several quite prominent players and brought in several newcomers according to the club's budget. Unfortunately, their performance did not match the expectations of Lens supporters. they got off to a difficult start to the season, without a win in their first five matches.

However, gradually, their performance began to increase even though it was not stable. This is natural, considering that Lens is taking part in a competition at a level above Ligue 1. Automatically, the pressure comes from both outside and inside. as we can see, Lens performance is unstable. However, in Ligue 1 their performance started to get better. Now Lens is in 6th place in the Ligue 1 standings, even though they are 4 points adrift of the team above Reims.
Ideally, if Lens perform optimally, it would be better for them to only focus on the Ligue 1 competition. In this way, the probability of their performance changing for the better seems to be able to be increased. For the Champions League, even though Lens are in 2nd place, their chances of qualifying seem difficult. Moreover, with the existing player material. Well, let's see how the Lens coach brings his squad. At least focus on Ligue 1, because other competitions will only interfere with their performance.

But do you really think the players have a button that they can push so they instantly focus less on the Champions League, just let it go and lose there in order to more focus on the domestic league? Isn't that nonsense in your opinion? Players give everything they have for a whole year, celebrate that they managed to qualify for the Champions League and then you think they sit together with the coach and say: let's dump the Champions League and play at 70% so we can give more of our energy for Ligue 1?

Come on, the analogy doesn't have to be what you said and it seems you misunderstood. that doesn't mean Lens has to leave the Champions League, Dude. In fact, they still have several matches in this group phase, namely against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadiums and hosting Sevilla. but you also need to remember, this team is mediocre, not a super strong team. Then, did I say they should press the button to just focus on Ligue 1, right Dude. in fact, they have to go through all the scheduled matches they have.

But also remember that Lens has coaches and management, they can choose to prioritize which competitions. and what is certain is that every match they will play, they will play it to the best of their ability. It's just that there's no need to force it so that they go all out in every competition they play. That doesn't mean they just give up. and usually, every club takes into consideration that their squad is optimal. which means, there is one competition that is their focus target. And, that's as simple as I mean.

After the international break there will be another interesting competition for us to watch when PSG succeeds in shifting Nice's position and in the upcoming match PSG will have to compete against Monaco while Monaco is currently having a very good performance because they know PSG's weaknesses and if PSG cannot get 3 points From Monaco, Nice will definitely take over first place in the League 1 points table.
Meanwhile, Nice will only compete against weak clubs like Toulouse, who have only got 2 wins since the start of the season, so it is very easy for Nice to get 3 points which can shift PSG's position.
However, it all depends on how the players at these two clubs are after the international break.

It was very interesting, the opening match of Ligue 1 in week 13 which brought PSG against Monaco. Everyone knows that currently the competition for the top four in the standings is quite fierce, Nice had to go down in the rankings just because they drew and PSG took over their position. It is not impossible that Nice will return to first place, if PSG fails to get full points when facing Monaco, this will be a repeating scenario. On paper, Enrique squad really deserves to be at the top, even though the opponent's statistics are quite good so far, but PSG will act as hosts which will give them an advantage.

Toulouse also cannot be underestimated, I was quite impressed with their performance in beating Liverpool in the Europa League yesterday. Week 13 will be very interesting to wait for because it determines the top of the standings involving PSG, Nice and Monaco, while Lille, who is in fourth place in the standings, has a difference of 7 points with PSG in first place.

This match is very important but i think that i would still prefer to pick PSG instead of monaco. PSG has bigger chance of winning the game against monaco as long as mbappe will be playing. Mbappe was the only one who can carry the club when his teammates are very useless during the game. No mbappe and hard win for PSG. Nice can take this as an opportunity to go up even though it will be difficult to happen since PSG is going back to the right track again by getting winstreak in the league 1.
As long as monaco will able to beat PSG and nice can take the first place again. Monaco just need to puts main attention into the mbappe. It seems like that he was the most contributed player to the club.
I hope nice can go back again at the top. It's good seein unfamiliar club to sit at the first place of league 1. It will be better if nice will able to win the trophy this season even though it has smaller chance compared with PSG.

Lille were the better playing side in that game but Lyon still won by 1-0 home. But now the situation is really worrisome for Lyon. That win over Rennes wasn't even easy one.

With the current situation, it will be a little complicated but that does not mean there is no chance because in the end, when looking at the location of the strength of each player, Lyon and Lille are not too different, it's just that in terms of current performance Lyon is much worse.
But now giving up with Lille is also not the best answer for Lyon because they have to try to get out of the relegation zone and last week's narrow victory they must make this a motivation because they must try to continue to take 3 points now to get out of relegation hell.
But if in the end the worst possibility they cannot get 3 points in this match then at least 1 point should be used as a benchmark and goal in this match.

So far, Monaco is playing pretty well, and they are ready to compete again to pursue the top position, but PSG is much better if it is calculated as a whole, in the last five matches PSG has experienced a successive victory, while Monaco himself in the last match playing with Le Havre produces a match The draw, so it is still fairly Monaco unstable performance in victory.

It is very interesting if there is rain goals between the Monaco vs PSG match, I think Alexander Golovin and Wissam need to gather more goals to donate to the team to get a victory.

Yes, Nice's draw in their last match allowed Paris Saint Germain to dislodge them from the top of the table. It's disapointing when Nice can only draw against a club that can't really be said to be strong either.
Monaco is a tough opponent for Paris Siant Germain, Monaco has the potential to win points from Paris Saint Germain headquarters in the upcoming match. They should be wary of the visitors even though they are on a very good run in Ligue 1, apart from their Champions League defeat to AC Milan.

No, they should not press the button and focus on Ligue and they never will. These games won't happen very often in their careers if they play for Lens and the fans would always want to see their players fight and not just give up no matter how hopeless the situation is. Look at Copenhagen and what they are doing due to the fights they put up and the help of their fans. It is amazing that a small team like that may qualify for the next round.

PSV has a difficult game away against Sevilla and then another difficult game against Arsenal at home. If Lens can beat Sevilla at home, there is still a chance that they make the miracle happen and everyone in that club wants it badly.

I know they are mediocre and these games are never decided in the underdog's favor with quality football, but with spirit and dedication. That is why teams like Copenhagen and Lens have a chance and yet they love to play in their domestic leagues.

Yes indeed, because of the 6 matches away for Lille so far, the fact is that Lille more often get a draw, because from 6 matches away from Lille, the fact is that Lille only gets 1 win 4 draws and 1 loss. I also think, it is not a good record for a team that is currently in the top four in the Ligue 1 standings. Therefore, despite playing against Lyon later that Lille is still favored to win reflected in the available odds but ya, it still seems not easy for Lille to beat Lyon at home. But even so, maybe I will still come forward to bet for Lille to win this match, because I guess Lille will maximize Lyon bad conditions this moment to beat Lyon at home.

[Distraction]

It has been a long time for Monaco to rise in the standings and be a part of the title race in the Ligue 1. I still can't forget their times with Radamel Falcao.    They had a really great squad filled with talented players in the past and they even won the league title in the 2016/17 season. But since that squad started to break into pieces they haven't been able to become very ambitious for the title. 

But in this season they can really stay in the title race for a long time. They are a really productive team at the moment. They are the 2nd most scorer team now.

But indeed their weakness is their defending. They have conceded 14 goals in 12 matches. Next time I wonder how this will affect them against PSG.   

Falcao was on form until he moved to Man United and Chelsea they ended his career but all is well now with Rayo Vallencano even if he is not as agile like he was during Monaco days.
Not just Ramadel Falcao, they had Bernado Silva, Fabinho, Mbappe are players who won the league with Monaco. They played so well that no club was up to challenge Monaco that year. James Rodriguez who scored that best goal in the world cup too.
If they gave difficult situations defending they should try to score more goals in matches. Transfer window will be opened soon clubs are beginning to identify players needed for the development of the club.

Yeah indeed. Even Mbappe was playing for Monaco those days. He was newly shining at his team and was signed by PSG for a record-breaking price after that. Those days Monaco had their best squad ever after so many years. Their squad was full of young players maybe but those were very talented players.

I don't know if we would see Monaco having another golden generation like that. But at least they are doing good in this season. A golden generation can help them become consistent in the Ligue 1 in most seasons also.

Yes, Nice's draw in their last match allowed Paris Saint Germain to dislodge them from the top of the table. It's disapointing when Nice can only draw against a club that can't really be said to be strong either.
Monaco is a tough opponent for Paris Siant Germain, Monaco has the potential to win points from Paris Saint Germain headquarters in the upcoming match. They should be wary of the visitors even though they are on a very good run in Ligue 1, apart from their Champions League defeat to AC Milan.

Nice drew goalless with Montpellier. This is why the team has to lose the top spot. I know the Montpellier team is not strong. However, I am not at all surprised to see such a result in this match. Because I don't think the Nice team is very strong. I was actually a bit annoyed to see this team at the top of the table.

Nice team scored only 13 goals in 12 matches. The team held the top spot in the table only because of their strong defence. Their offensive performance is quite poor. Monaco, who are third in the points table, have scored 25 goals in 12 matches. I think only Monaco can stay in the title fight with PSG this season.

[shogun47]

Olympique Lyon is an important team and this table is their big problem. Lyon beat Rennes 1-0 and got the first victory. By beating Lyon and Rennes, the last team in the league, they showed that even though they are last, they have a quality squad. Lyon will be saved from the lower ranks, but being in this rank will make them self-criticize after a long time.

Put differently, you are saying that any team beating Rennis is automatically a high quality team. I am not sure you really meant to say that as it means literally nothing to beat Rennes when it comes to assessing the quality of a squad. If they beat PSG or Nice, I would agree that this would allow for some conclusions to be made, but beating a team that is positioned in the lower half of the table is really nothing that is helpful to see whether it is a quality team or not.

No, they should not press the button and focus on Ligue and they never will. These games won't happen very often in their careers if they play for Lens and the fans would always want to see their players fight and not just give up no matter how hopeless the situation is. Look at Copenhagen and what they are doing due to the fights they put up and the help of their fans. It is amazing that a small team like that may qualify for the next round.

PSV has a difficult game away against Sevilla and then another difficult game against Arsenal at home. If Lens can beat Sevilla at home, there is still a chance that they make the miracle happen and everyone in that club wants it badly.

I know they are mediocre and these games are never decided in the underdog's favor with quality football, but with spirit and dedication. That is why teams like Copenhagen and Lens have a chance and yet they love to play in their domestic leagues.

edit: I have edited the missing words in the previous post.

And yeah, as I said, that doesn't mean they don't have to do their best in the Champions League competition. After all, as I said, like it or not, Lens has to play all his matches in various competitions. Let's flashback to when Lens started playing in two competitions, namely the Coupe de France. Their performance declined, although Haise was able to bring his team back to performing well.

Now we are talking about Copenhagen, let's refer to their ranking in their domestic competition, they are in first place with 33 points from their 15 matches. Their performance was inversely proportional in the Champions League, fortunately they faced United, a very unlucky team in that match. btw, Copenhagen is not in the same group as Lens in the Champions League group.

PSV is not much different from Copenhagen, they are in first place in their domestic league. In fact, PSV was unbeaten in 12 of their matches and swept all the matches with a win. unfortunately, their performance was not that good in the Champions League. Based on temporary odds, the Sevilla vs PSV match, the two teams seem to be evenly matched based on the bookie's odds. If PSV wins that means... Lens' chances of getting to the next round are quite tough. In fact, Lens will play an away match at Emritas, home of the Gunners.

Well, from what I have said, there is a gap between all the teams that I have mentioned here. both in the Domestic league and in the Champions League. the problem is, it's all up to the club, the coach and the players. If they insist on going all out, it means they will put in a big effort in these matches. every result can have an impact on their matches in domestic league competitions and Arsenal is no exception. So that's it, let's see what happens when the fifth matchday of the Champions League group phase is held.
