French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[BALIK]

As the Monaco team is also playing for the title and the team was in a good rhythm, I thought the Monaco vs PSG match would be very competitive. But nothing happened. PSG secured an impressive 5-2 win. Although the first half was somewhat contested, the second half we saw dominated only by PSG players. And the Monaco side couldn't put a stop to PSG's winning streak. If no accident happens, PSG will easily be champions of Ligue 1 this season.

PSG has fallen far behind in the Champions League due to defeat in two matches. If you want to play in the round of 16 of the Champions League, you have to beat the Newcastle team at home in the next match. If PSG fail to win this match, the chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very slim.

PSG has dominated the league one even during "bad seasons", It looks like a walk in the park for them, since their current owners arrived they have had one goal which is to win the champions league but this seems to be proving difficult for them as they can't seem to hack the competition, after losing the final in 2020 to Bayern Munich, it looks as tho they might lose Mbappe their best player and one if the best players in the world soon if they fail to succeed in this competition soon.
 The match against Monaco was more like a warning signal to teams in the UCL and Ligue that they might mot probably be good but they take their chances when needed and that warranted in them netting 5 goals, with the recent summer overhaul and with their new coach PSG are really hoping they can win the champions league as the league one proves quite easy for them.

Ligue 1 We are used to seeing PSG dominate every season. This team has been doing very well in the past seasons. However, the main goal of PSG management was to win the Champions League. But the team could not dominate the Champions League in any season. A lot of money has been spent by PSG management, but every season they have failed. For this reason, this season they have given the task of experienced coach Luis Enrique to build a strong team. If Luis Enrique can gradually strengthen and stabilize the PSG squad, then the team can perform well in the Champions League in the future.

PSG played very well against Monaco and this win cemented PSG's position at the top of the table. Now I am looking forward to see how PSG perform in their next home match against Newcastle. PSG will not be able to qualify for the knockout round if they do not win this match.

Luis Enrique tried to provide a good approach to his players and he tried to adapt at the start of his arrival at PSG with his team. The start of the season wasn't too bad even though they had a few draws, but after the team played more solidly we can see how PSG became stronger compared to when Lionel Messi, Neymar and Sergio Ramos were there. Luis Enrique also managed to prove his abilities and even though they were not reinforced by world star players, they remained solid and produced more positive results.

Beating Monaco with a score of 5-2 is quite a satisfying result ahead of the big match in the Champions League. Mbappe, Dembele and Muani also performed extraordinary in that match and managed to beat Monaco with a big score. Luis Enrique can focus on preparing for the match in the Champions League and they need to win this match to ensure a place in the standings so victory is the result they must achieve.

Enrique's approach to building PSG in the absence of Messi and Neymar was notable as they started off finely with beautiful results this season and week after week, they keep proving their supremacy over teams, no one saw the 5goals netted against Monaco coming but it was a beautiful scoreline, they played with much more confidence than imagined and they ensured that they didn't take any chance with the opposing side, the weekend's win is a good charge to the UCL face off and very much likely, they're expected to win their remaining two group matches.

 They've been able to build a solid form that'll give them an upper hand against teams and their victory is anticipated, Mbappe is in his best form for the team, so is Dembele and every other member of the squad, they can still be threats to other teams and they will be, I believe they would qualify to the next round in the UCL as well as maintaining the top position in their league before the winter window.

At the start of the season the PSG team had a little difficulty finding their best game due to the many changes that occurred in the team, and I think that's normal when there are so many new players and even new coaches in the team that it takes time to adapt and now PSG is slowly getting better and starting to make them back on a positive track.
As for the competition in Ligeu 1, I don't think it will be fierce, at the start of the season it looked fierce because the PSG team was in a slump, but now that they have risen, I think teams like Monaco and Nice will not be able to compete with PSG's strength.

Yeah.. The change at PSG is too big to overlook. it was not a scecret that they were entering the season with some turbulence in the squad. but then They slowly get their rhythm back with their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. The big win against Monaco has proven PSG's capacity as a dominating giant who will be difficult for any other Ligue 1 team to stop them.

Christophe Galtier has been doing a good job so far, but he needs to maintain this form and nuance for the team to have a stronger character as a unit. He knows that his team require a strong sense of discipline, because each of the players has his own character that is still need to be integrated to team. Christophe Galtier still need to prove himself in Champions League games to make the control on his squad is still in hand.

[CryptoBuds]

Enrique's team shall have learned from the previous mistake as this is the last chance owned by PSG. Unable to gather three points from newcastle will be a disaster for the club. Newcastle is also aiming to win against PSG caused by it really needs point to qualify for the knock out stage.
PSG is playing a bit better than before. Mbappe will become the center of PSG at this moment. Im sure PSG will able to beat newcastle at home. Enrique shall have learned from the previous match about how to identify the main weakness of newcastle.
PSG needs to learn from what dortmund did against newcastle. dortmund was able beating newcastle two times in a row.

You have already moved the discussion of the Champions League to Ligue 1, here the intrigue is a little different, it lies in whether Nice can beat Toulouse today, if this does not happen and Nice loses points, then the intrigue in Ligue 1 will decrease significantly, since PSG will already be ahead , and it’s not even half the season yet. For Nice it will be a home match and Toulouse are not in the best shape at the moment, so Nice have a good chance to continue chasing PSG.

I think Toulouse can get points in this match. This team is performing very badly in Ligue 1. But this group is not weak. The team has won only two matches in 12 matches in Ligue 1. However, in the Europa League match, they defeated the giant team Liverpool by 3-2. And in the next match, the team shared the points with Lille. We have seen an improvement in Toulouse's performance in the last few matches. On the other hand, Nice's defense is the best defense in Ligue 1, but the team has scored only 13 goals in 12 matches. That's why I think the match is more likely to be a goalless draw or a 1-1 draw.

The match is a draw for now, but the match has just started. They are a very difficult team, and playing away makes it a much more difficult match for Toulouse. Even though many seem to be favourites, it seems to me like a match with a high probability of a draw. Toulouse created a big sensation by beating Liverpool in France, their form is on the rise, let's see what they will do in this match.

My guess was wrong. In the end, Toulouse could not get any points from the match. Nice again got a narrow 1-0 win. But we got the expected performance from the Toulouse players. They performed quite well. But Nice's defense is very strong. And against a strong defense it is difficult to score without an experienced attack. That's why Toulouse players can't score a single goal despite a lot of attacks. However, Toulouse's performance has improved. We may see this team in the top 10 of the next points table.

[klidex]

Nice has continued their record of staying unbeaten after eight consecutive matches including the on they just won against Toulouse today by a goal, they have aswell maintained their position at the second spot on the standing just a step behind PSG who is currently at the top.

Nice wasn't really impressive yesterday, I felt they would have done way better than they did, it did looked like they were considering their opponent even with the home advantage they had , I expected they would have won with a very good difference but until the early minutes of the second half, they were unable to secure a goal which later turned out their only goal with which they were able to secure three points.

Nice performed not really well last match after winning against Toulouse but one goal enough to secure three points and keep pressure PSG on the first position with different one point. Last winning match make Nice the only one Ligue 1 team not beaten yet after playing 13 matches but they have loss many points with 5 draw of 13 matches. I loss expected with Nice match result against Toulouse as bottom team standing but not ability scoring above one goals, I have predicted with easily for Nice on 2nd place beat team who on 15th place more than three goals. Unbelievable with statistic Toulouse more dominance created 19 shots than Nice have 8 shots and both teams have balance 3 shots on target.

I previously predicted that Nice would win with a narrow score of 1:0 or 2:1 and it turned out that it was true that Nice won again with a score of 1:0. Indeed, Nice's goal productivity seemed normal and not very impressive. Nice was only concerned with winning without increasing goal productivity like which was done by rivals PSG and Monaco.
However, the most important thing for Nice right now is to continue to collect as many points as possible to win the title in League 1. Nice is the most consistent club and has not suffered a defeat so far. Indeed, Nice has lost a lot of points due to draws, but at least Nice has not suffered a big defeat. requires him to lose points overall and currently Nice only has a narrow points difference with PSG Nice can still catch up and will continue to be consistent in avoid many defeats

[asriloni]

You are maybe right and Nice could perform better than this but the fact about the game between Toulouse and Nce is they got the full three points from the game and that's what they needed to get. I think Toulouse was not a strong team and Nice could win the game against this team even with a better result but Nice after this game remains in the second place of the table while there is only one point gap between them and PSG.

You are right that Toulouse is not a strong team so Nice winning is something they should get and if we say Nice is a good team it is actually not completely true because looking at Nice's goal statistics it is not special, they can only score an average of 1 goal per match but they got good results because their defense was the best defense because out of 13 they only conceded 4 goals, implementing a more defensive game is the key to Nice being in second place in the standings so far.
It is very possible that when Nice faces a team that is strong in attack they will suffer their first defeat of the season, and when Nice suffers a defeat PSG will be more comfortable at the top of the standings.

Nice was struggling against toulouse. This club might not be strong but it was able beating liverpool on europa league. That's a good point to call it as a strong enough club. Nice has been trying so hard to win the game and terrem moffi has been giving a good solution to help nice get three points from its opponent. Im very happy to see my choice was right even though nice was winning with narrow score but this is not a problem at all. As long as nice win and that's enough.
There's no need to think it will be able to perform better caused in infact nice's performance is not the same like PSG which was showing how dominant the club against its opponent. Nice is always trying so hard to win.

It was always struggling against its opponent but its' also always winning even though it found so hard to beat its opponent. The thing i do really like from nice is the spirit of player.
This is also helping nice to perform better than before. Nice may be going to the UCL next season.

[Blitzboy]

The performance of PSG seems to be stable right now. I will also say that stability is going to be important for PSG when it comes to creating wide gaps between the other teams in the league. But I think PSG will be able to do that. And I think it is not going to be a bad idea right now to actually trust the new coach. Seems like he is doing a good job right now and he has been able to understand what to do with this team to actually achieve the success that people want. So things are looking good right now. I hope they will be able to continue this.

PSG immediately improved their performance after last winning a draw at Clermont Foot headquarters, achieving six consecutive wins in Ligue 1 with very good goal productivity. The Luis Enrique effect is starting to spread in the PSG squad, the stability of the squad is starting to appear by creating lots of opportunities in every match.
Enrique is trying to get PSG used to the philosophy he often uses when coaching other clubs, slowly but surely Enrique presence is starting to have a positive impact on the PSG squad. PSG latest victory put them three points ahead of their closest competitor, Nice still provides competition for PSG by sticking closely to second place.

It seems, indeed, that it is Enrique duty to succeed in improving PSG's performance and quality because after all, Enrique is basically a great coach who certainly has a good ability to make success with the team. But yes, if Enrique only succeeds only in Ligue 1, then I think Enrique has not fully succeeded. Because yes, of course PSG's hope of recruiting Enrique is to make PSG get better results in the Champions League. But indeed, maybe this is only the beginning because this is also still Enrique first season at PSG so it seems natural that Enrique succeeded in Ligue 1 with PSG. Because for the Champions League, of course there will still be a long process to get better results there.

Enrique led PSG to Ligue 1 glory. A fan following their path, I cant help but think winning the domestic league is just the beginning. PSG must excel in the Champions League. Considering Manchester City and Real Madrid's opposition, Enrique's debut season may be too soon for such a big win. Their squads have depth and balance that PSG is still seeking. Enrique must stabilise the midfield, where stability is crucial. He's up against it, but Im intrigued how he handles it in the following seasons.

Lille finished Lyon's hopes in the first half already. They are still in the lead by 2-0 while we are entering the last 10 minutes of regular time. Lille have scored 2 goals with 0.97 xG so far. They are having a really productive day. I thought that maybe Lyon would get a draw at least. Because that win over Rennes could have fired up the players.

But nothing has changed after the national break. Lyon are still in big trouble and they might really end up with the Ligue 2 in this way. There is a big action to be taken by the team but the question is about whether they will do this before it is too late.

As I was predicting to see, Lille won the game and we could easily guess the result before start of the this match because Lyon almost lost all the games they had so far in this season. I still don't know what the solutions are for Lyon to get in the better form because so far they have been really disappointing and this team should even get relegated at the end of this season.

I still don't know what the solutions are for Lyon to get in the better form because so far they have been really disappointing and this team should even get relegated at the end of this season.

since early stages of season, Lyon has gone through 12 matches, only able to get 1 win and from this result it can be predicted that against Lille, it certain that Lyon will not be able to withstand every attack from Lille attackers, while Lyon performance and defense are very bad, we can see from match yesterday Lyon seemed very confused about resisting any pressure from Lille.

we will all never know what problem is in Lyon line up this season which makes seem difficult to improve performance and I am not sure this season Lyon will escape the relegation zone even though they will get new players from the relegation zone but still Lyon will be far behind and could not improve his performance and had to accept the fact of being relegated.

Things like this are natural because however facing Lyon now who is in pain then surely 3 points can be achieved even though it is a little complicated because Lyon's resistance in this match is also quite good but I think Lille's victory in this match is something that is quite certain so there is no need to have doubts in it.

With the current situation Lille is back to enliven the top standings but not Lyon, which even though their momentum is quite good but with the defeat in this match then indirectly they have to start over from scratch because their rhythm is still out of order.
They play well on the field but the problem is that their defense is bad which has a lot of improvement in it.

In today's match of Lyon vs LOSC team in French Soccer League, LOSC scored two goals to win the match. J. David scored the first goal in the first 27 minutes of the game. T.  Santos scored the 2nd goal in 32 minutes. Lyon team's players didn't play well so they didn't score any goal in this match. Goalkeeper of Lyon team had a very bad performance in today's match. I thought LOSC team will win the match by scoring 4 goals. But with 2 goals  The match was won. After halftime Lyon team tried hard to score but could not score any goal.

[tusandii]

I thought Nice would lose points in this match. Toulouse was able to beat big teams like Liverpool. Their performance was very good. Even against Nice, Toulouse players played well. But they could not break Nice's strong defence. Nice's main strength is their defence. Besides, the performance of Nice cannot be called good. This is an average team. Nice conceded only 4 goals in 13 matches. And scored 14 goals. Such a strong defense is why Nice is second in the points table. Despite being second in the table, I don't think this team has the squad to win the title.

Nice's only advantage is playing at home and Touluse's weakness is playing away when facing an away match against Liverpool Touluse lost but when playing at home Touluse won over Liverpool Touluse's away match was not good because of that Touluse lost.

Even though they are in second place, Nice's mentality needs to be doubted in order to win the title because I think PSG will win again in League 1, although Nice is still consistent and has never lost so far, but that is not enough because Nice still has to fight a lot in the remaining matches. in league 1. it is not easy to maintain consistency because in my opinion Nice was last season's Lens who were trying to get the title but unfortunately PSG won the championship again even though it was only one point apart and that means a lot for the team and Lens is right under PSG in second place.

I thought LOSC team will win the match by scoring 4 goals. But with 2 goals  The match was won. After halftime Lyon team tried hard to score but could not score any goal.

After all, this is not a difficult prediction because ya, based on their position in the current Ligue 1 standings I also think it is clear, that Lyon is still in a bad situation at this moment. While Lille current position, at least Lille is in the top five and the win obtained in this match also makes Lille back into the top four of the Ligue 1 standings. Not only that, based on head to head records also that Lyon did not have good results when Lyon played against Lille. So ya, I think a win for Lille is a win on paper that will certainly come true but even so, I still get very good odds for Lille in this match.

[rendravolt]

The Lyon vs Lille match was a tense one for me because it was the deciding factor in my multibet bet and with such large odds there will always be worries about the outcome of the match.

However, luckily Lille can always provide consistent performances in this match and I apologize to Lyon because they are still the worst until now. Even though last night Lyon also performed quite well and they had several opportunities to score goals, but unfortunately their players' finishing was so bad that they couldn't score even one goal. A 0-2 win was very important for Lille to be able to shift Reims from the top 4 and they did it this week after silencing Lyon away from home. Well, this is another multibet win for me and I'm so happy that Lille always gives me the advantage.

Maybe the degradation zone is comfortable for them, so they are reluctant to leave there. Even though I understand that Lyon is one of the elite clubs in Ligue 1, what they are showing now is really damaging the reputation of the club that has been built previously. The change of coach has not been successful, and most recently they lost badly at home 2-0, which is really embarrassing.

I just think they can only target this season to get out of the degradation zone, no longer talking about the UCL zone, Europa League or something like that, because that looks impossible for them. I read the history of Lyon under the leadership of Jean Michel Aulas, it impressed me, it seems like the change in ownership has not yet shown signs that they will become title contenders. the january transfer market should be a solution to rebuild the club, as well as boost their performance to be a little better.

I agree with your first sentence. It always makes one worried to bet on this much high odds especially the remaining bets have much lower odds. For example I predicted Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona in the last El Clasico but I couldn't be that brave to bet on it.    Congrats on your huge win by the way because the total odds are really mouth-watering.  

I had doubts about this Lyon - Lille match also. Because I thought maybe that win over Rennes would fire up Lyon players a little bit to get at least one point.

But Lille finished the match in the first half already unlike my expectation.

From the start I had sympathy for Lyon's performance which was not like the big Ligue 1 teams that I know. Let's assume there are still about 22 games left this season. With its current position at the bottom of the standings with 7 points, it can still change and get out of there if the club takes quick steps to resolve various obstacles.
It's not good if a club as big as Lyon is relegated. Fabio Grosso may not be a good choice to save Lyon's position.

It is still possible that Lyon will get another disappointing result in the next match if Fabio Grosso is still serving as coach.
If Lyon had to accept the fact that they would be relegated, I would call it a desirable condition and they made absolutely no effort to make their fans' wishes come true.

But Lille finished the match in the first half already unlike my expectation.  

Lille is expected to win although they were playing away. Lyon is very weak this season and even though they woke up a bit and collected 4 points in the previous two rounds, they ended up losing and they will continue to lose probably vs Lens next and Marseille later. They have to win vs Toulouse before losing vs Monaco in the games following the previous ones. It is a hard situation they are dealing with and relegation probability will remain high if they will not improve the team..

[Slow death]

I'm amazed how Nice continues in second place and very close to PSG at the top of the table, they are a team that can't score many goals and it's unbelievable that in 13 games they only managed to score 14 goals but they are still in second place but they are a team with the best defense in the league, in 13 games they only conceded 4 goals. In their last game against Toulouse, I found it unbelievable how Nice were lucky to come out of that game with victory, Toulouse had good chances to score goals, but Nice has a very good defense, Nice's goalkeeper made excellent saves. and Nice's defensive players managed to prevent Toulouse from scoring a goal

It was also incredible how Nice's coach shouted in celebration of the victory, it seems to me that he has some objective he wants to achieve and that with this victory his objective is still alive. I think the Nice coach is doing a great job and has been very lucky, it's not normal for a team that can only score a few goals to be at the top, that's thanks to the great defensive power that the Nice team has on the field. If Nice had the funds to sign good attacking players then they would have a much better chance of becoming champions, but currently they would have to wait for PSG to perform badly for them to become champions, something I doubt will happen.

Enrique led PSG to Ligue 1 glory. A fan following their path, I cant help but think winning the domestic league is just the beginning. PSG must excel in the Champions League. Considering Manchester City and Real Madrid's opposition, Enrique's debut season may be too soon for such a big win. Their squads have depth and balance that PSG is still seeking. Enrique must stabilise the midfield, where stability is crucial. He's up against it, but Im intrigued how he handles it in the following seasons.

this season I see that it will be a very difficult mission for PSG to get far in the European champions league, in my opinion their chances of getting through to another stage will be very difficult, they are in a group in which there are strong teams and if they had managed Winning all the games in this group then they would be seen as a strong candidate to win the European Champions League, but seeing the poor performance they had in some games in this group stage, I think that PSG have no chance of reaching the final and it will be difficult for them to move on to another phase

I doubt that any zone when it comes to relegation is in any way comfortable, as if any team would say it is cool to be trailing around in a zone that might send you to the next lower level of the next domestic years competition.

PSG is still this one team, but it should be noticed that winning Ligue 1 does not mean it is the same as winning Premier League.
