French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[QueenVera]

Lille has the opportunity to secure full points in this match. They are superior with their strength in this match because their quality this season is more impressive than their opponents. Lyon, being the bottom team in the standings, will find it difficult to win when facing Lille. The only best chance in this match is of course betting on Lille winning. Lyon has only been able to achieve one win so far and they are still stuck in the bottom zone of the standing.

Ligue 1 this season is quite the opposite to last season because several big teams from last season are having difficulty maintaining their best form this season. PSG doesn't seem to have any difficulty this season in winning the Ligue 1 trophy again because they are back at the top of the standings. For Lens, they are trying to get back into the top 4, though Lens performance has dropped a lot compared to last season.

Lille being top in form going into this encounter have all the strength to secure 3 points in this encounter, Lyon who have been struggling since start of the season and managed to secure their first win over the past weekend will come into this match confident also, when this sides meet, the anticipation will be at an all-time high, with both teams showcasing remarkable form in the France Ligue 1, a draw is a strong possibility.

 I think PSG are the only big side who have maintained form and I see them taking the Ligue 1 title before the end of the season, form and consistency will be needed but no offense, I don’t think Nice will pose a serious threat to PSG, however PSG really needs to be careful cause in the previous season Lens almost won the league and their's a possibility that Nice could do same this season.

Olympic Lyon is not in a good situation at all and they lost many points during this season so far. I was expecting to see better results for this team but unfortunately, in the 11 games, we saw in the French league Olympic Lyon won only one game in the last week against Rennes. Even if Olympic Lyon buys some players during the winter I think this team can't be in the Ligue 1 for the next season with the current situation they have.

I also see what you say is quite clearly experienced by Olympic Lyon, because even though they still have time to recover with new players next winter, I am also not very sure that Olympic Lyon will be able to save themselves from being relegated at the end of this season. However, if for example Olympic Lyon is able to do that by implementing several changes after winter, I think that is a miracle that has come to Olympic Lyon. Because just being in the top fifteen will not be easy for Olympic Lyon this season after being so far behind the other teams.

What Lyon needs now is to completely overhaul the current players to replace them with more quality players and of course this all depends on how the coach will bring in more quality players and to improve the quality of their performance to remain consistent and get every win in several matches and with With this consistency, I believe it will be easier for Lyon to quickly avoid relegation.
If all the plans I have said fail, it is very likely thats Lyon will remain in the relegation zone because if they don't immediately catch up, the difference in points will be even greater.

[rendravolt]

Talking about Rennes, this team is usually in the top 4 of the standings or sometimes in the top 10 of the standings. But what is happening now is that they have been thrown to 13th position in the standings and are getting closer to the relegation zone. Rennes, usually always consistent, has now experienced a significant decline in performance and in the last 5 matches they have not won at all and that means they have lost 14 points since then because they had 1 draw in some of those matches.

Now Rennes' challenge will be even more difficult because they will play Reims in the next match and if they lose of course they will be in the relegation zone temporarily considering that the difference is very small from the teams below them.

What do you think, is there anything wrong so far with Rennes' results? and what should they do to fix it all?

[Weawant]

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.

They're not not strong, but they don't have very good goal productivity so that's going to hold them back in the games they play, and one of them in this game forced them into a draw. Their defense is strong, but it's not matched by a strong attack.
If they continue like this and don't make any changes then don't be surprised when they will be further displaced in the standings. In the transfer market they must bring in players who can answer all their deadlocks in attack until this week. That is one opportunity for them to take advantage of.

Nice may not have appeared really strong but they have been getting results that have continually kept them in good position by getting good number of goals from every match which makes they have played so far in the Ligue one this season, they only need to strength their attacking force because when they will be meeting big teams they will need it.


The January window is an opportunity for them to be able to put that in places, they could get good replacement for their front lines, Monach has over the season been good enough but I think even if they look like they can contend with PSG, they will not be able to win against PSG if they are in they good for but PSG's current for will definitely find it really difficult tackling Monaco especially if Monaco is playing from home.

[Doell]

-snip-

I think the best option for Olympic Lyon is to buy more players in January transfer window as their current form now is nothing to write home about considering the fact that they have won the France league title for a record of 7 good times. They need to improve in their performance as being in the relegation zone of the league is not good for the club.

Buying the new player will not be working. Lyon totally needs a new coach and players. Buying the new player while still keep the old coach will not give significant impact to the club. Lyon was wrongly fabio grosso as a new appointment while the club needs a good coach. Gross was bad and look at the current position of lyon. Im not sure if grosso will able to change the situation in the club by buying the new players. I think that just give him some times. I do believe lyon will come back stronger.
Lyon was able winning int he last match. That proves that if lyon needs more time. It's a disastrous season for lyon caused by the club is now placing at the bottom frag. it's really unimagined to see how lyon was going to the relegation zone.

It seems I agree with you, Lyon needs a new more experienced coach to improve their performance, in the winter transfer window later if Lyon still not show a good performance. Although Fabio Grosso is actually not too bad, because he can bring Frosinone Calcio to compete in Serie A this season. It's just that, indeed it might take a long time to have chemistry with the Lyon squad. But if the players can immediately adapt to this tactician, there's a big chance they can avoid the relegation zone.

Nice has been very impressive since the start of the season and are one of the teams in the French Ligue 1 that I think are gonna give Paris Saint German a good fight for who wins the league title this season. They failed drew and failed to score in their last game in the league against Montpellier which many believed they were gonna win because of how good they've been since the start of the season.
In the next match week, league leaders PSG are gonna play with Monaco which will be a difficult game for them as many believe that PSG might likely drop points in that game while Nice will be playing against Toulouse. A win for Nice in that game will take them back to the summit of the league standings if PSG fail to best Monaco

[tiCeR]

@harapan I remember that season as it was a big upset for me personally because I never thought that Monaco would win the league title and then when Falcao came I was very excited but it felt that he was jinxed horribly because he couldn’t score only for Manchester United. Furthermore Monaco’s form went down because they sold their title winning stars and that’s why it wasn’t surprising to see them underperform as the year’s have gone by.

But all too often people put it as if clubs like Monaco had a choice and decided to sell their players instead of keeping them, but this is not how it works when we are talking about "title winning stars". What do you think how long it would take Real Madrid or PSG to make an offer to any player that scores 20+ goals in Ligue 1 and decisively contributed to winning a title? Their hands are literally tied because the players often have contracts that are about to expire in the near future and they don't have the financial means to top up the salary to a level that could compete with Real Madrid or PSG. This is how economic cycle in football works. Smaller clubs get lucky and this title winning star, raise him and then they have to sell him to the rich boys in the house. There isn't much that these clubs that are between 2nd and 1st tier can do.

This is the system how it works right? The big clubs are always going to go for the players who are performing well. And the offers are also going to be so good that very few clubs are actually going to be able to reject them to keep the players that they have. Sometimes the players also want to leave willingly. Just because they want to play in a club that has legacy, which is actually very much understandable by the way. So when the bigger clubs are actually throwing money to get a certain player, I think it is rest assured that they are definitely going to get that player.

Hey duke, nice post! I always like when someone looks at things with a realistic view. It is understandable as you said, when players want to leave because they have this once in a lifetime opportunity (at least it feels like that for them in that point in time). But sometimes I think players should also not forget who fostered their careers. That is why I am a strong opponent of skipping training sessions, pretending to be injured and blackmailing the clubs that helped them grow into agreeing to a transfer.

Apart from that though I think in most cases it is the offer that the clubs can't decline. When they have a player that grows from 10m market value to 100m market value in two years, what can they do when the offer appears on their screen? Either the club itself has a legacy or unlimited cash or the player will undeniably leave either as a free agent or for a lot of money. That's the two choices - both painful - the smaller clubs have.

Nice team surprised everyone with their performance. The performance of the team was quite stable. And for a long time they were at the top of the points table. Nice's defense is the strongest defense in Ligue 1 this season. However, they lack talented players in their attack. Consistently performing well and staying at the top of the table is much more difficult without a strong attack. My guess is that the Nice team will gradually fall back in the points table. And perhaps in third or fourth place we will see the Nice team in the future.

I am eagerly waiting for PSG vs Monaco match. If PSG can win this match, their points gap with Monaco will be 6. And a win for Monaco would put them level on points with PSG and make the title race even more competitive. I will be happy if Monaco can win. So this season in Ligue 1 we will not only see the dominance of PSG.

I was expecting to see better results for this team but unfortunately, in the 11 games, we saw in the French league Olympic Lyon won only one game in the last week against Rennes.

Because just being in the top fifteen will not be easy for Olympic Lyon this season after being so far behind the other teams.

Although Lyon is currently at the bottom of the table but in fact, Lyon has 7 points and Strasbourg who is in 15th place has 12 points. Thus, atleast Lyon only has a gap of 5 points with Strasbourg which is outside the relegation zone this moment. Thus, if Lyon manages to recover to improve their performance for the better, then of course there is still a chance for Lyon to get out of the relegation zone. At least, Lyon still has points and also, still has a gap that is not so far with the team outside the relegation zone. Therefore, then of course there is still a chance for Lyon to compete in the bottom zone of course to be able to return to playing in Ligue 1 next season and not be relegated at the end of the season.

I think the gap is not really a problem, but questions will arise how bad the Olympique Lyon team really is. What if four teams have 1 point, 2 points, 3 points and 4 points at the bottom. You could still say that the gap between last and 15th is only 3 points, but the problems are much bigger than the gap would describe here. Only 7 points out of those 11 games was inconceivable before the season started.

Lyon can be expected to move out of the relegation zone as the league progresses. They have been a good team all along even though this season has been so down. Lyon needs to do something great and also needs to increase the confidence of its players to try their best to win points in every match. I'm sure they won't qualify for the European zone next season, but at least Lyon can still be expected to stay in Ligue 1 next season.

Fabio Grosso has tried his best to improve the quality of Lyon's game since being appointed in mid-September, but he has only been able to produce 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats in his last 6 matches. Fabio Grosso has no experience in Ligue 1 and I think he is also adapting to the new competition at the moment. So let him develop with good support.

[emrecemsan]

Lyon deserve a much better management. But by management I don't mean Fabio Grosso. I mean it could be much better if they find themselves a better chairman. Because no matter who they bring to manage the team they are continuing to dive deeper in the Ligue 1. I know that they won their last match against Rennes which was their first win as well. However even that was a very difficult one against a team playing with 10 players.

If Lyon have a chairman who really knows what to do to enhance this team in many ways then they would start recovering for real.  

[Jody.Drummer]

That is their problem this season lies in their attacking line which seems to be very confused when getting a chance to score, so they are very unproductive. 13 goals in 12 games is not a good record for a club in my opinion. Unlike the attack, they have conceded 4 goals so far, proving that their defense is working very well.
But again I have to say that the balance between attack and defense must be created very well for them to win a match they play.

Although Lyon is currently at the bottom of the table but in fact, Lyon has 7 points and Strasbourg who is in 15th place has 12 points. Thus, atleast Lyon only has a gap of 5 points with Strasbourg which is outside the relegation zone this moment.

Lyon's chances of getting out of the red zone are very high, but whether they will do well or not. Their frst win has to be motivational, the league goes on and when they lose their mentality, it's bad for their game. All they have to do now is focus on each match and try to take it point by point.

I think they should focus on Ligue 1 only, because if their focus is split then it will cost them too.

The red card was given since the starting of the game which means Lyon was technically playing vs 10 players the whole game, yet they scored one goal. I agree that this result was poor even though they collected 3 points.
Lyon is sick as a team from players to management and staff. Their fans are very angry on them. It will be hard to see them falling to Ligue 2 this humiliating way.
Personally I think that this winter transfer window will be crucial for them. It is whether they fix their team there or they could say goodbye for good for Ligue 1.

If you look at Lyon current situation, the transition process and changes to the club structure and management that new owner John Textor is trying to carry out seem to be going nowhere. As a result, Lyon performance has dropped drastically and is now slumped at the bottom of the standings and has only collected 7 points in 11 matches, maybe it would be worse if they had not recovered until the season was halfway through. Fabio Grosso hasn't been able to do much and so far his leadership has only won one win, the best thing that must be done immediately is to help Lyon get out of the degradation zone.

In the 2000s, Lyon was one of the clubs that dominated Ligue 1 under Aulas as club owner, but this season could be their worst season in the last two decades. The January transfer window must be used as a solution to recruit several new players, thereby helping to boost the club performance to avoid degradation next season.

None of us were prepared to see such a situation with a renowned team like Lyon. The last team in the points table is Lyon. At the beginning of the season, they lost consecutive matches. However, in the last four matches we have seen some improvement in Lyon's performance. They drew in two matches and managed to win the last match.

You might be wrong. Rennes defender Guela Doue received a red card. And that's why Rennes' performance was a bit slow. Rennes players can't attack much in this match. Lyon was somewhat lucky. They took advantage of Rennes' weak defense and scored a goal. It was Lyon's first win of the season. Let's hope that the performance of Lyon's players will return to stability.

Top clubs are to blame for the current trend of exorbitant costs for players who have not competed in premier tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League. It is uncommon to see a player decline an offer from an elite team these days because every player wants to scoop up recognition and accolades in games. Understand that top level teams generate a great deal of focused attention, unlike less fortunate teams. Every player has a personal decision to make, and being in the spotlight will be an abundance of humorous use and an enormous accomplishment for them.

They have made the transfer market too costly for teams who don't have the financial capacity to to compete with them.Teams like Chelsea have made buying of players very expensive,and the most amazing part of what they do is signing players who don't really worth the amount of money they pay for them.Take a look at Mudryk's deal,who is a player not worth upto 60 millions,but they paid excess money for him and uptill now,he hasn't been able to live pto the amount they spent on him.Same thing to Caicedo,who was the most expensive buy in the last transfer window,a player who have not won any European trophy, cost more that 100 million pounds.It is something unreasonable to hear,but Chelsea keep on doing that so that other rival teams will not get good players.

The game between Paris Saint Germaine and Monaco will be a very interesting match to watch because of how impressive the two teams have been this season in the French Ligue 1.
Monaco who are currently in the third position trailing league leaders with just three points knows that a win in that game will take them to the same number of points with Paris Saint Germaine.
That being said, I expect the league leaders to win that game because if how strong they are and the fact that they'll be playing at home in front of their home fans.

I'm not too sure if this fight will offer an interesting fight.

IMO, Monaco is just as inconsistent as PSG. the difference is, now PSG is starting to perform well in Ligue 1. Likewise with the system that Enrique will implement, I am still quite sure that he will continue to carry out his experiments.  Regarding patterns, it seems that 4-2-2-2 is now Enrique's option when his squad plays against teams in Ligue 1.

Likewise with Monaco, after I researched it in several matches, Adolf Hutter is also always experimenting with patterns and systems. and because of that, I just realized why Monaco hasn't achieved consistent play. even though, they brought in Folarin Balogun. However, his presence in the Monaco squad has not been able to lift this team to its best performance.

Even though this match still has a week to go, based on the temporary odds, PSG is superior. It's only natural, because the Les Parisiens squad plays at its own headquarters. PSG with @1.50, Monaco @5.80. there is a fairly obvious gap, even though PSG will have a crucial match after this bet against Newcastle in the Champions League group phase. On paper, the home team is the favorite in this match and that is normal.

[bitgolden]

AS Monaco's last three matches against PSG managed to win twice with quite convincing scores and that happened when PSG was still with several star players, but it was a home match for AS Monaco and because this is different where PSG will be the home team, of course, PSG will ensure 3 points in this match so that their position in the standings does not shift because if they lose or draw then the team that will benefit the most is Nice who will have the opportunity to return to first place in the standings because they are only one point different from PSG and will also face the Toulouse team which they are very likely to beat.
PSG is favored with odds @ 1.51 and AS Monaco gets odds @ 5.60, if PSG's attackers can appear consistent they should be able to score more than two goals and Mbappe, who successfully scored a hat trick in the previous match, will be expected to contribute again in this match.

There is enough time to calculate how that game will go, we do not have to rush into it, there are national teams and we should see how players do at their national team, and some injuries or not etc etc, we do not even know if players will be too tired and they need to get better.

I think with all of that in mind, I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that is going to be pretty difficult to handle, it is not going to be all that easy and we need to remember that we can't make it change all that much, we need to make sure that everything stays the same as much as possible, that should be the most important thing.

I understand that we are not going to end up with a situation that has to be. After those national games are over, the odds are clear that PSG will win, just because Monaco managed to win some games they shouldn't, doesn't mean they will do that again.

Luis Enrique still has work to do for Les Parisiens this season; he needs to win the Ligue One title and qualify from UEFA Group F. These are the fundamental phases that can earn Luis Enrique his flowers at Parc des Princes. Paris Saint-Germain versus Monaco up next: We know what a formidable opponent AS Monaco can be because they have won more games against PSG in previous seasons but let's watch out for this season. Monaco has routinely stunned PSG everytime they meet, and I believe this time will be different; I expect PSG will come out on top this season.
