French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Silence Scream]

Do not think anyone was surprised to see the result of this match. Lens performed well. At the 72nd minute, I thought the match might end in a draw because Lyon did well to actually level the score. But in the end, Lens was able to score another and make sure that they got three points from this match. Even though I would say that the score was not very surprising for anyone, however, I will also say that the match was hard for Lens to win in the end. And now I don't think Lyon is actually going to improve to a point where they will be able to get out of the relegation zone.

I'm not surprised by Lens win because that's how it should be if you know the situation that Lyon is currently experiencing, Lyon seems to be experiencing such deep difficulties that it's difficult to get up and make changes, I don't know what wrong with this team so that it has experienced such a significant decline and has changed coaches. Even though Lyon is still not improving, if they want to renovate and recruit quality players, of course they need a lot of capital, while this team definitely doesn't have a lot of capital to invest in players who can build this team. It is very likely that Lyon will be relegated this season.

Although there were many goals in this match and also, Lyon managed to make a quick goal in the first half but still, I was not surprised at all. Because anyway, I also bet for Lens to win in this match, and I still believe that Lens will still win, because I very uncertain about the bad conditions that Lyon is experiencing at this moment . But indeed, at least Lyon managed to play well because Lyon also still has a good effort to get points when the team's situation is bad. But yes, it's quite unfortunate even though Lyon has tried well but in the end, Lyon still failed to get points in this match.

What's going on with Lyon? They lost even in the match they were leading. Good news for Lens because they came from behind to win, but Lyon lost despite taking the lead. Are these the last moments of a city's legendary team? Will they be relegated to league 2 at the end of the year? This is very sad for me because I had sympathy for them since the Juninho era. I hope they get better now and start getting wins.

A few years ago Lyon was a team they were always racing for the title in the French League and they were a top team with good investment but I don't know what happened is this team so they got these results. Lyon's fall started in the last season and they even got only 7 points in the all games they had so far this season which is terrible for them.

It is very possible that because of the club's finances, it affects their performance and from season to season it starts to decline because they sell quite a lot of good players to make money but very little reinvest it in the transfer market to buy other players who are also good.
With their performance to date, they can't survive relegation so next season they will play in Ligue 2 and it will take several seasons to be able to return to the highest competition in France.
The appointment of Fabio Grosso did not deliver what the club had hoped for and his replacement with Pierre Sage probably will not bring enough change because the problem is that their squad is not good enough to compete in Ligue 1 and get out of the relegation zone.

If the players are bad, the coach can't do anything. Because the players play the game on the field. Now they have to bring in new players in the January transfer window. If they don't, we can say for sure that they will probably be relegated from the league. They have only collected 7 points so far and this is a big problem. This is not just a problem for the coach, but for the team as a whole.

The defeat against Nantes left Nice four points behind PSG at the top of the standings and this also proves that PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is quite difficult for any solid team in Ligue 1 to break. A difference of four points already guarantees PSG will get the Ligue 1 trophy because this will be the start defeat of several PSG competitors in the standings. PSG's strength is indeed much better than the strength of players possessed by other teams and is much more developed because they have a large amount of money to support it.

In the future matches we will see PSG's points with the challengers will be further away and entering the second half of the season there will be many teams experiencing setbacks due to several core players suffering injuries. This is where PSG is quite at an advantage because they have a balanced number of players and even though there are several players injured it doesn't affect their overall performance.

Luckily I didn't bet on the Nice match because previously I had said that Nice and Monaco could be in first place and after the defeat Nice lost their performance a bit down, getting a draw against Montpellier while this club was very weak but Nice failed to win so I decided to avoid it. bet on a club that is starting to show consistent decline.
It's time for PSG to take over first place in the points table and for the next match PSG will continue to secure its position even though when playing against Le Havre they almost conceded but I applaud the defense which is quite good because several times Le Havre put pressure on me which made me worried if PSG loses but the result is a win.

Lyon is experiencing bad luck this season. If they don't make changes, they will most likely be relegated. They have to recover quickly because it is already midway through the season. There are still a lot of games left. Lyon has to recruit new players so that they don't experience worse luck.
Coaches need adequate players to build overall team performance. If in a club there are no players who make good contributions, coaches will have difficulty developing strategies. Lyon must recruit new players in the January transfer market so that this season can be saved. Lyon's management must think about it. and start thinking about the players they will recruit, but the manager must not make the wrong choice because this will greatly influence the quality of performance.

There are a few scenarios for PSG how to get into the next round of the Champions League, but the most straightforward of them all is to win the match against Borussia Dortmund. If it was not a home game for Dortmund, I would say that PSG has big chances to win the game. But in this case Dortmund has enough power to score at home and I would usually say this game is more likely to end with a draw. But that makes it dangerous for PSG as Newcastle could win their game and then take PSG's place in the round of 16.

There is no doubt about their progress in Champions League is not good and after having draw against Newcastle United things are going more troubled which needs good effort from them in last game against Dortmund if they want to go through into round of 16 because without win they can't go even Newcastle United is also having problems, but they can manage against AC Milan which is much easier than PSG but mostly peoples feeling they can do this against Dortmund because host club is already progressed, and they can give chance to their few reserve players which will help them.

Kylian Mbappé is surely one of the best which can bring changes by himself, and he needs to give his best in this last match even nothing is predictable about their progress but still I am personally having faith in them for going for the next round and having good positive end of this season.

It is not like there isn't anything at stake for Borussia Dortmund and this is why we will see a top game on a very high level from both teams as Borussia Dortmund wants to avoid coming second in the group. Considering who will advance to the round of 16 from most of the other groups, coming first is worth every effort. If they get Real Madrid or Manchester City as an opponent because they finish their group second, it could immediately be game over for them. That is why I think PSG has no advantage because Borussia Dortmund already progressed to the next round. It is quite the contrary as coming first has so much value under these circumstances.

[Jody.Drummer]

I was very surprised when I found out that Gianluigi Donnarumma got a red card in the opening minutes and I still don't know the details of why he had to be sent off by the referee. But what is clear is that this is very detrimental for PSG when they have wide open opportunities to widen the gap from Nice but have to suffer the loss of losing their main goalkeeper. However, even though PSG is currently ahead with 1 goal scored by Kylian Mbappe, it is still quite worrying if there is a draw in the remaining minutes.

The match has been going on for around 75 minutes and there are 15 minutes remaining in normal time. If PSG succeeds in maintaining this advantage or can increase their number of goals, of course their victory will be guaranteed, but if their defense starts to weaken, Le Havre will make good use of it to end in a draw.

The card came in just too early and it gave me enough balls to go play the game live as I played it a full time draw thinking they'll repeat the same way they did during the midweek against Newcastle United. They gave me some level of pressure as I also placed a soft game to get a little fee from em. PSG should strive to make sure they win this League Competition. I know Luis Enrique only came in but they should put themselves today and tommorow together.

As predicted Per Emerick Aubameyang was also on the goal scorers last night as Marseille went ahead to win that game with two goals to nothing.

With a man advantage from the 10th minute, the fact is that Le Havre couldn't win this match. But they also played well just maybe luck was not on their side in this match. They made 22 attempts and 7 of them were on target, but none of them could lead to a goal. On the contrary, Paris Saint Germain can create goals even 13 minutes after they get a red card. from here we can see that indeed the difference in the quality of players will be very influential in the match and it is very felt by Le Havre in this match.

[slapper]

It seems quite appropriate now to say whether Nice have started to falter towards the middle of this season.
After a very good start to the season at the moment Nice's changes are quite pronounced in terms of performance. Their goal productivity is slowly disappearing and their attacking line is starting to show cracks.
Yesterday's match also showed how their condition has changed. They are still very good in terms of domination, it's just that their finishing is still very lacking and losing to Nantes yesterday makes me feel they will experience a change in situation now if they cannot overcome their current consistency.

Nice are still good and after this round they are guaranteed to retain second position. The problem is that in Ligue 1 there is PSG and, as always, they came out on top. It is quite remarkable that just recently they were behind, and now their advantage is 4 points, which allows them to even lose and still remain in the lead. I don’t see any point in assessing any Ligue 1 club relative to PSG - they’re on a different level. At their level, Nice shows excellent results, they have only one defeat and have the best defense in the league - only 5 goals conceded.

Nice's recent performance shows a pattern. Though powerful, these hiccups, like the Nantes loss, are concerning. They're close but not consistent enough to join PSG's top tier. Their defense is great, but is their offense? Perhaps it lacks punch. The Nantes game showed their forwards struggling. Nantes' defense prevented them from scoring, revealing their attacking troubles. To compete for the top ranks, they must improve their attacking strategies. They need a mix between defense and scoring, not just good defense.

Before the match started, I was convinced and confident that Le Havre was not a difficult opponent for PSG, even though PSG played with 10 people, they would still win this match, just look at how Le Havre couldn't take advantage of that opportunity to get the full three points or get one. points with a draw, but unfortunately Le Havre has to admit that PSG is a very strong club in Ligue 1 and is predicted to win the title again this season.

PSG really dominates Ligue 1, even Nice lost three points, maintaining a gap in points with PSG, which makes PSG of course breathe easier, now no club has been able to break their winning streak in the last five matches. PSG is still consistently on the winning track and yes, what are you saying? It's true that the quality of the game will determine who wins and PSG has a quality game above Le Havre.

Nice conceded defeat for the first time against weak Nantes. Nice was unlucky in this match. But this team is not worthy of winning the title, it has already been predicted. If you want to win the title, the performance of the attacking players must be good. The attack must be stronger. But Nice's attack is very weak. They are second in the table only because of the excellent performance of their defenders. This team scored only 14 goals in 14 matches. While PSG and Monaco scored 36 and 29 respectively. Nice will likely lose second place in the table in the next few weeks.

[Velvet78]

PSG must be really shocked when Donnarumma got that red card early in the game. It isn't an intentional challenge of course but there is nothing to do about it. However PSG still stayed strong on the pitch. They won the game by 2-0 anyway against Le Havre. Mbappe's goal was really lovely by the way as the goalkeeper couldn't do much against that shot.

Vitinha's goal was a little lucky but he was still rated the highest in terms of performance for the whole game. By the way the backup goalkeeper Tenas did a really good work as well. I have seen some impressive saves of him. Thanks to him PSG's job got easier. 

[rendravolt]

I was surprised when the referee issued a red card in the 9th minute without even thinking. It was a very early problem for PSG to stay with 10 men on the field. Kylian Mbabbe scored a beautiful goal, as always, and with this goal, PSG took the lead 1-0 with 10 players.

PSG could keep the score very well with 10 player and they continued their search for goals without retreating to defense. He scored that relief goal in Vitinya, even though it was a little late, he gave his team a sigh of relief in extra time.

But if you look at the footage of the foul, it is very dangerous because Donnarruma's foot was too high and hit the opponent's body. So I think the referee's decision was quite correct in giving the PSG goalkeeper a red card. Despite all that, PSG still performed quite well and they even added another lead through a goal scored by Vitinha in the 89th minute and sealed the victory for PSG. This result is very important considering that Nice also just lost against Nantes and again PSG will dominate the top of the Ligue 1 standings this season without any obstacles.

[G_Besar]

Nice conceded defeat for the first time against weak Nantes. Nice was unlucky in this match. But this team is not worthy of winning the title, it has already been predicted. If you want to win the title, the performance of the attacking players must be good. The attack must be stronger. But Nice's attack is very weak. They are second in the table only because of the excellent performance of their defenders. This team scored only 14 goals in 14 matches. While PSG and Monaco scored 36 and 29 respectively. Nice will likely lose second place in the table in the next few weeks.

Nice must be able to improve their performance in the remainder of this season if they want to stay in the runner-up position or want to catch PSG who are at the top of the Ligue1 standings. Because by playing like that it will be quite difficult for Nice to maintain its position and catch up with PSG who have become leaders in Ligue 1, apart from that, Monaco itself is still quite good so far and is also eyeing the position occupied by Nice now. So Nice must be able to improve better in each upcoming match.

This is where PSG is quite at an advantage because they have a balanced number of players and even though there are several players injured it doesn't affect their overall performance.

As I said in many previous posts, gradually PSG will return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings. What I said is not just without reason. because it all goes through consideration and analysis. To be honest, I am not part of the Paris Saint-Germain supporters.

As for Nice, their first defeat was against Nates. So far, in their 13 matches, they have been able to be consistent even though they haven't scored many goals. Nice's advantage this season is that they seem to have a pretty good, disciplined and solid defense. we can refer to, they only conceded 5 goals. and in the match against Nantes, Nice had to lose to the home team. For me, it's natural that Nice doesn't have sharpness up front, that's what prevents them from competing with PSG. In the next match, Nice will play against Reims. If they lose again, that means PSG will widen their points gap with the teams below them.

As for PSG, Luis Enrique's squad should only need to improve the shortcomings of his team's squad. Regarding the system, IMO, PSG has run as it should, even though it has not achieved what Enrique really hoped for. But at least, in this competition they should be able to get through it well.
On the contrary, I think Monaco will gradually overtake Nice's position. Adolf Hutter just needs to make sure his squad plays according to the pattern he applies, that way they will be much better when playing match after match.

[Weawant]

PSG had an early card yesterday but its really interesting how they were able to still win amidst a man down, but then they were playing from away so the advantage was supposed to be on the side of their opponent together with the card they had already but it turned out their opponent seemed weaker.

PSG were able to maintain a strong frame regard less and was able to put up a performance they earned them a win at the end of the day, they won by two goals and are currently at the top of the table by 33 points staying ahead of Nice by four points. Nice may likely have no further chance to get to the top of the table and I hope PSG will be able to maintain their spot long enough to probably end the season with the league title.

Vitinha's goal wasn't what saved PSG this game, it was once again Mbappe and he is always making the difference even when they are one man down. His speed and when he scored the goal his technique is so dangerous for any team. Donnaruma's red card was stupid like hell and it was funny to see how he tried for a few seconds to become a Hollywoodstar. The red card was the right decision. But PSG didn't dominate the game at all after the red card. Le HAC had chances to score, but they lack some quality.

Like I've always maintained since the start of the season that Paris Saint Germaine possess the strongest quality players of in the French Ligue 1, yesterday's results against Le Havre further backs my opinion. Paris Saint Germaine goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was shown the red card in the 10t minute of the game after he misjudged the movement of the ball and kicked Le Havre player when the scoreline of the game was still 0:0 but that didn't Luis Enrique's men from going on to score two unreplied goals to grab all three points from the game and extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.

PSG started the season on a bad note as they lost points in games they were expected to win and that I think was as result of the the manager's inexperience about the French Ligue 1 but since he initiated his current playing pattern that's bringing out the best from his players, Paris Saint Germaine has been winning their matches and are on course to retain the French Ligue 1 title once again.

If the players are bad, the coach can't do anything. Because the players play the game on the field. Now they have to bring in new players in the January transfer window. If they don't, we can say for sure that they will probably be relegated from the league. They have only collected 7 points so far and this is a big problem. This is not just a problem for the coach, but for the team as a whole.

Whoever the coach is in charge of Lyon at the moment, it is very difficult to improve Lyon's performance, it is very difficult to realize the hope that Lyon will return to the way it was several years ago, which always provided competition for the top four positions. Lyon players seem to be getting bored of playing, they are able to score goals against their opponents, but they also concede very easily.

7 points from 13 matches puts Lyon at the bottom of the standings list, there is no other way for Lyon officials other than bringing in quality players in the January transfer market to save Lyon from the threat of relegation. The coach's dismissal will not provide any solution, Laurent Blanc and Fabio Grosso are victims of Lyon's collapse in performance. Overall the team also needs to be refreshed, the arrival of quality players could be a solution to improve Lyon performance.

Unpredictable result. Nice was able staying at the top place but it seems like it's starting to go down again this time. I see no chance for monaco and nice to win the trophy this season. PSG will be locking the trophy again this time.
It's likely PSG will be winning the competition again. I have my hope to see nice to be at the top place anytime but my expectation is too big for nice. I know that PSG will be winning upcoming game.

It looks like we are able determining the winner from this season. PSG is likely trying to be the winner again. PSG is starting to gain its chemistry while its competitors are starting to decline. The gap of PSG to the its competitors become even bigger.
The chance for nice or monaco to win the trophy against PSG is very small now. I have lost my hope to see a new winner of french league. League 1 is just another bundesliga soon.

PSG will be dominating the league probably for more than a decade.

If they don't, we can say for sure that they will probably be relegated from the league. They have only collected 7 points so far and this is a big problem. This is not just a problem for the coach, but for the team as a whole.

They parted ways with coach Laurent Blanc after bad results at the start of the season. They then signed Fabio Grosso. But they continued to get bad results. Pierre Sage is currently coaching the team temporarily. They were once a great team, but today they are in imminent danger of being relegated to a lower league. I don't think Pierre Sage can change anything at Lyon either. Lyon have structural problems. A few transfers or a change of manager won't bring them back to their former glory.
