French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Furious 7]

Lyon is going to take a lot of time to improve. Then improvement is not going to be instant. And at the same time, changes need to be made. This was definitely very unexpected. This team was supposed to be one of the top teams in this league. But the performance from them literally nosedived. At this point, I am pretty sure that the players are also also pretty disheartened by the fact that they are at the absolute bottom of the table. It will be really hard to motivate them.

The problem is that they have to do that quickly because if not then they will continue to stay at the bottom and not be able to restore the situation where Lyon must get out of the relegation zone at this time.

They have won just once in 14 encounters in what is clearly the worst season for Lyon in the few seasons they have been in Ligue 1.
They are one that can be considered big but with the current situation they are very much at the bottom of the table which makes this a bit scary.
Losing to Marseille quite conspicuously makes them even more demotivated it seems and currently Lyon is one of the worst clubs in defense where they are always a goal barn for the opponents they face.

Patrick Vieira is one of the former Arsenal players who I really admire, unfortunately his coaching career was not as great as when he was still a player. Currently, he is the head coach of Strasbourg. In his 13 matches with his squad, he was only able to bring 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 matches with defeat. Now, Strasbourg's position is in an unsafe situation. If Strasbourg lose the match against Brest, it means their position will remain in 15th place.

Meanwhile Brest, is in 7th place in the Ligue 1 standings. Full points, will be their target in this match in order to shift the position of Lens and Reims, who are only narrowly separated by points. So, it would be very natural if Brest were favored in this match. Plus, they play matches in front of their own supporters. However, if I refer to the H2H meetings between these two teams, Brest always finds it difficult to win the match when they meet Strasbourg. However, in the final meeting last season, Eric Roy's squad was able to win narrowly when they visited Strasbourg. Likewise, if we refer to the last 5 matches between these two teams, Brest won the last 2 matches. and while Strasbourg did not win once in its 5 matches.

Referring to the odds provided by the bookie, Brest with @1.73 and the opposing team with @4.90. there are quite obvious differences, based on the available odds. In my estimation, this match will be quite tough. I won't bet, but based on considerations, this match can be won by Patrick Vieira's squad. Likewise with the odds on offer, it's a little tempting. however, it would be ideal to bet on Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.71.

Not so many excellent players have made it so well as coaches and Patrick Vieira is one of them. These players turn coaches ae excellent when it comes to building young talents but there’s always a coma when they need to get excellent results from the team they coach, Strasbourg has some youngsters that has gotten the attention of some top clubs in Europe but yet the team performa woefully and have a very bad form in the league.

 Now Brest who faces strasbourg over the weekend will be going all out for 3 points and it’s very quite possible because they’ve better chance, but for this match I think it’ll end in a draw with both teams sharing points and yes an Under 2.5 is a nice option to bet on.

No but I doubt that they have PSG or Nice on their minds when they have a stable rank in the middle of the table. I believe that they focus from game to game and then see what is possible for them when the end of the season is approaching. They will most likely not make any rushed predictions or contemplate season goals and communicate them when they know that it is not realistic as of now to reach out for one of the biggest goals. But if they want to make it into the qualification for some European competition, I think that they have all chances to do that. Nice could have a weak time and some other teams as well and then they need to be ready.

Every clubs tends to becomes ready to face their challenges this season. The European competition are for serious clubs that have the potentials to win matches without having to fight to win a spot. Seasons goals of these clubs have grown to become one of the ultimate targets, winning it without stressing out their plans or tactics. Paris Saint-Germain dominates the league table and they have a threat, a club that's ready to levelled points with them, Nice have become a close contender for the the Ligue One title this season.

No, I would bet a house on Nice having no chance against PSG over the course of 38 matches. Nice was efficient when it comes to results, but that is not sustainable when you score only one goal on average per game. It is all nice when it is enough to win most of the games in the early season, but for how long will it work that an average of one goal brings you the number of wins and draws, the number of total points to beat PSG after 38 games and win the title?

Nice can definitely have no chance against a team like PSG to win the French League, however currently PSG and Nice are racing closely for the title and Nice is the only competitor they can have because currently Nicve has 29 points and PSG has 33 points which means they are not close enough to make troubles for PSG and in the other hand PSG with Enrique is getting in the good form. But still, there is the chance for the French League to change everything and PSG faces some problems to lose their current condition.

And yes, the match in the end was a draw according to what you said. and as I predicted, the safe option in betting is the Under 2.5 goals option with odds @1.71. referring to match statistics, Brest dominated with 61% ball possession, 13 total shots, 3 shots on target, 1 big chance, and one goal which was converted into a goal. From a tactical and technical perspective, Brest is much better than Patrick Vieira's squad. superior in the first half, they were unable to maintain it until the match was over. In fact, Brest didn't score any more goals until the final whistle ended.

Meanwhile, Strasbourg, this team plays a little more waiting and defending. I mean, they usually only counterattack. But in terms of opportunities, Strasbourg is better than the home team. Of the 9 total shots, 5 were on target, 2 were big opportunities, and one was converted into a goal. in the end, the match ended 1-1. and as I had previously expected, I really know the style of play and system used by Patrick Vieira. What Patrick Vieira implemented was not much different from when he coached the English team, namely Crystal Palace. So, in the end both teams have to share 1 point equally. At least, Strasbourg moved up the rankings to a safer zone even though it was temporary. and our predictions, according to the final results.

For me, Marseille has honestly been very inconsistent. And they cannot expect to go up through the table with having such inconsistency. They have been able to win two matches in a row. But I highly doubt that they are going to be able to continue performing like this. I am pretty sure that they are going to lose another match in the upcoming three matches. Of course, if they are able to perform consistently, they are going to go up through the table. And I don't think at this moment there is any comparison between them and Nice. Because Nice is performing really well. even though they have lost their last match, they are far more consistent.

The France league is not easy at all, every club on guide because they wouldn't want to messed their chances of winning. Nice can be considered underrated this season because they're not enlisted among the big boys but one shouldn't be surprise to watch the exact same club will become the first club to surpassed Paris Saint Germain on the table If Luis Enrique men fluctuate in performance in matches. They have to give Nice a good relevant points gap because I'm aware the same hyped PSG are not in form and any moment from now, they will record poor performance and results.

[Belarge]

Former champion Lyon is now in relegation and it doesn't look like their situation will ever recover. This team has been champion in this league for years in a row. Serious transfers are required between the seasons for the team to get back on its feet.

It was Aubameyang's night in Marseille. Most of the share in the victory belonged to him, he was able to score 2 assists and 1 goal in 90 minutes. A very experienced striker showed no mercy to Lyon that night. If they continue like this, I think Lyon could break new ground.

Streak losses have become the orders of the day for Lyon. There is no need to fight anymore because all hope appears to be lost at the time; they can fight while having no evidence. Lyon triggered this because I see no reason why they will desist in performance and try to hook up their very best again, most likely when there is no margin. Whose teams would want to move downward currently, when everyone continues to compete for major slots, and while those that don't stand in equilibrium would fight for their main spot to stay in the Ligue One campaign?

[fuguebtc]

They need decent players in the January transfer market, otherwise they will be very difficult to rise, this is dangerous if Lyon continues to be in the relegation zone, it could make them out of the league this season, but whether they are rich enough to buy good players later in January, that is the big question.

And the second problem is the improvisation of coaches and players I think there are many misses, thus causing the team to not be able to adapt to the development of the league that is getting better the competitors it affects also in my opinion, if in rethinking whether they need a new coach who is more competent to compete in the league!

Giving sentiments to the board, Lyon coach, Jean-François Vulliez should be sacked with immediate effects. A competitive league has little opportunity for plodding clubs, and Lyon is one of those clubs making excuses for their incompetent performance this season. Lyonnias numerical values, 1W 4D 9L this season, a terrible start determines the club's future, and they're now finding harder and harder to catch up with the major teams this season. What else should we be concerned about when it's evident that Olympique Lyon will not escape the relegation zone, despite being the lowest-ranked club in Ligue One?

I do agree with that, he is not doing a great job and we all know that the team could do better without him without a doubt. I get that people may feel like the team is not good enough and that is why he could be considered innocent for losing this many games with a team not that great, but I believe that we are going to end up with a result that would be much better if they can find a better manager. I understand that may not be all that crazy, but it is in the end something that will benefit them one way or another if they know what they are doing.

This is why it is quite important to remember that we are going to end up with a result that should be beneficial to them. This is not that easy to handle of course, but that could not be something that would be all that important. Just fire him, get someone else, and they are going to e be doing fine in the end without a doubt, that is definitely the situation they are going to be in if they make a switch.

Lyon has the least number of wins and maximum number of losses so far out of any team in this season.  A team that was performing pretty well, even in the last season is somehow performing really bad in this season. And it looks like nothing will actually be able to get them back in winning ways. it will be really hard for them to actually get out of the relegation zone anytime soon. If they are able to get out of the relegation zone in the end, it is definitely going to be a good performance from them. but I highly doubt that they will actually be able to do it. At least the way they are performing right now, I don't see them being able to get out of the relegation zone. And yes, some strong action is needed to be taken.

[rendravolt]

There is one match that will take place today and it will pit Brest against Strasbourg. Statistically, these two teams are quite different and Brest has won the last 5 matches. Meanwhile, Strasbourg have not won in the last 5 matches and I think Brest will be favored to win this match. Apart from being the host, H2H statistics also note that Strasbourg is still a fairly strong opponent for Brest and it is possible that this result will
continue in this match.

From what I see, the difference in performance between these two teams is not very big, see:



in the last 5 games Brest only won 2 games, it is true that they are coming to this game with 2 consecutive victories and that is a good thing, especially when their opponent comes to this game without winning 5 games, but it is necessary to have Be very careful when placing Brest as a team that would have a lot of advantage in winning this game, because Strasbourg in the last 5 games had 3 draws, so a draw in this game would not be a surprise, at the moment I write this post, Brest is winning the game, they scored 1 goal in the 1 half, if they can defend themselves well, then they can win the game, mainly because I see Strasbourg's attack as very weak, just see that in the last 5 games Strasbourg hardly managed to score 2 goals in some game

So are you interested in betting on this match? and who do you think will win?

I won't place a bet on this game, but my guess is that Brestois will win this game, they have a team with better performance compared to their opponent who has been in crisis in the last few games, and has had great difficulty scoring goals in the last 5 games they were unable to win in any game and had 3 draws thanks to their defense, so when I see this opponent with a very weak performance and I see Brestoin coming from two victories, then I see Brestoin coming out with victory in this game, in the worst scenario I'm serious that Brestois will leave with a draw, but I highly doubt that Brestois will leave this game with a defeat

Unfortunately the result was a 1-1 draw and fortunately we both did not place bets on this match. In fact, Brest really dominated the game with 61% ball possession, but in terms of opportunities, Strasbourg did have better statistics because they shot on target at least 5 times. Even though in general, we thought Brest would win and they actually took the lead, but towards the final minute of the match Strasbourg managed to score the equalizer.

Of course, none of us thought that the match would end in a draw because it was possible that Strasbourg would win according to H2H statistics. This draw meant that Brest failed to shift Lens' position and Strasbourg only had a slight advantage before the other teams this week were able to shift their position again.

[len01]

For me, Marseille has honestly been very inconsistent. And they cannot expect to go up through the table with having such inconsistency. They have been able to win two matches in a row. But I highly doubt that they are going to be able to continue performing like this. I am pretty sure that they are going to lose another match in the upcoming three matches. Of course, if they are able to perform consistently, they are going to go up through the table. And I don't think at this moment there is any comparison between them and Nice. Because Nice is performing really well. even though they have lost their last match, they are far more consistent.

dont worry Marseille is not a small team but this is one of the popular teams in league one and there are still a lot of changes after getting players from transfer market later and in my opinion if you compare Marseille with Nice it very different because Marseille is a more popular team and Nice is just in a state lucky to reach the top of the standings and it is too early for Nice to enter the top 3 of the standings unless you compare Marseille with Monaco maybe it would be fairer because Monaco had experience at the top of the standings several seasons ago while Nice did not come from the top of the standings.

Indeed, nothing is impossible but for me Nice current position will only be temporary and at the end the season you will see Nice decline again.

[bering]

Montpellier vs Lens

Lens has starting this season with poor performance but fortunately they can able to bounce back and in Ligue 1 Lens has through an 9 matches without lose and from those matches they can collect 5 wins which is this make their position now at 8th place and today Lens will attempts to managed their unbeatable records from Montpellier and based on head to head statistics between them i can see Lens records has slightly good because from 5 meetings Lens can able to gets 3 wins
Lens will lost some players before this match because Deiver Machado still doubful to play and Florian Sotoca will not into the squad because of suspension but the good news is Elye Wahi will be return to play and my prediction for this match is Lens will be able to overcomes Montpellier and Lens win has good odds for this match @2.26

[bangjoe]

It is very sad to see Lyon losing every game while this club was actually a top club in the previous season but this season experienced a very deep decline in performance and almost did not have the strength to recover from its bad performance and Lyon's last chance this time was only in the transfer market when it reopens and at that time if Lyon fails again in its efforts to escape relegation there will be no more hope for Lyon and fans will be sad to see Lyon current condition.

They need decent players in the January transfer market, otherwise they will be very difficult to rise, this is dangerous if Lyon continues to be in the relegation zone, it could make them out of the league this season, but whether they are rich enough to buy good players later in January, that is the big question.

And the second problem is the improvisation of coaches and players I think there are many misses, thus causing the team to not be able to adapt to the development of the league that is getting better the competitors it affects also in my opinion, if in rethinking whether they need a new coach who is more competent to compete in the league!

This team was supposed to be one of the top teams in this league. But the performance from them literally nosedived. At this point, I am pretty sure that the players are also also pretty disheartened by the fact that they are at the absolute bottom of the table. It will be really hard to motivate them.

Yes, I also agree that they are probably not going to escape the relegations zone. The main target of the team right now should be to somehow avoid relegation at the end of the season. They should look to get at least one point from matches from now on.

Yes, although it can be said that change cannot be instantaneous but it does need to be done in various ways so that they are not eliminated this season, if it requires motivation, it can be used as a motivation for them to burn their enthusiasm again to continue to survive in league 1, and I think Lyon still has enough time to build its strength again, considering the new league trip until the midway session.

So if they really want to change and save themselves, there is still enough time in my opinion, including getting new players next month and maybe new management to be more reliable, it's too surprising if they change to this bad.

Nice can definitely have no chance against a team like PSG to win the French League, however currently PSG and Nice are racing closely for the title and Nice is the only competitor they can have because currently Nicve has 29 points and PSG has 33 points which means they are not close enough to make troubles for PSG and in the other hand PSG with Enrique is getting in the good form.

They have to give Nice a good relevant points gap because I'm aware the same hyped PSG are not in form and any moment from now, they will record poor performance and results.

There are several teams in Ligue 1 who can compete well with the big teams. At the start of the season we saw some teams ranked higher than PSG and PSG was at number 5. The reason for PSG's number 5 position at the beginning of the season is because PSG's performance was not good at the beginning of the season but later Luis Enrique worked on the weaknesses and finally succeeded. Ligue 1 PSG is now a team topping the points table like every other season. Where at the start of the season there was doubt about them being in the top 5 of the points table, they have come to this point of the season and are consistently at the number one position in the points table and are expected to win the Ligue 1 title PSG this season as well.

Montpellier vs Lens

Lens has starting this season with poor performance but fortunately they can able to bounce back and in Ligue 1 Lens has through an 9 matches without lose and from those matches they can collect 5 wins which is this make their position now at 8th place and today Lens will attempts to managed their unbeatable records from Montpellier and based on head to head statistics between them i can see Lens records has slightly good because from 5 meetings Lens can able to gets 3 wins
Lens will lost some players before this match because Deiver Machado still doubful to play and Florian Sotoca will not into the squad because of suspension but the good news is Elye Wahi will be return to play and my prediction for this match is Lens will be able to overcomes Montpellier and Lens win has good odds for this match @2.26

Although Montpellier's home match, Lens team can be considered as favorites in this match. The Lens team is in good form now. They have not lost any match for a long time. And the team still has a chance to move into the top 3 of the points table. And this is why Lens will try their best in this match to get 3 points against Montpellier. Montpellier will definitely want a point in the home match. But I have seen the performance of Montpellier players in the last few matches. Their performance is now quite weak. Montpellier's chances of winning against Lens are very low. But the match is likely to be a draw.

Just remember how Monaco once led the standings but they slowly found it difficult to maintain their performance so they lost quite a lot of points and their decline gave an advantage to PSG who were slowly able to find their best game, especially when Kylian Mbappe was able to resolve his problem with the club owner which allowed him to return played and PSG started to get wins and their only defeat was against Nice and after that they always managed to produce points, and when Nice was also at the top of the standings they were also unable to maintain that, so it looks like PSG will remain comfortably at the top until the end of the season to defend their championship title again.

In my opinion, you need to see the current League 1 standings. Lens is in 6th place with 6 wins and has collected 22 points, even though Lens is not as good as last season, this is normal because Lens has a match in the Champions League where they are fighting hard to qualify. to the round of 16 if in the end they don't qualify Lens still has the opportunity to play in the European League.
Indeed, initially Lens was not able to stabilize the composition of the players' performance but now it seems like Lens is already in high self-confidence even though playing in the biggest competition in Europe doesn't break Lens spirit to continue to perform well in the domestic league, recently Lens has been on a winning trend. I think Lens will win the match again against Montpellier.

[slapper]

Every clubs tends to becomes ready to face their challenges this season. The European competition are for serious clubs that have the potentials to win matches without having to fight to win a spot. Seasons goals of these clubs have grown to become one of the ultimate targets, winning it without stressing out their plans or tactics. Paris Saint-Germain dominates the league table and they have a threat, a club that's ready to levelled points with them, Nice have become a close contender for the the Ligue One title this season.

No, I would bet a house on Nice having no chance against PSG over the course of 38 matches. Nice was efficient when it comes to results, but that is not sustainable when you score only one goal on average per game. It is all nice when it is enough to win most of the games in the early season, but for how long will it work that an average of one goal brings you the number of wins and draws, the number of total points to beat PSG after 38 games and win the title?

Nice can definitely have no chance against a team like PSG to win the French League, however currently PSG and Nice are racing closely for the title and Nice is the only competitor they can have because currently Nicve has 29 points and PSG has 33 points which means they are not close enough to make troubles for PSG and in the other hand PSG with Enrique is getting in the good form. But still, there is the chance for the French League to change everything and PSG faces some problems to lose their current condition.   

Nice's chances against PSG are somewhat doubtful. Though they trail by 29 points, PSG's lead and form under Enrique make them a difficult opponent. It's true that the French League is unpredictable and PSG may struggle, but it's PSG. Their depth and quality are league-leading. Nice has played well this season. Do they no longer represent the underdogs? Their consistency, despite losses, is astounding. Nice might gain if PSG slips. A big if, though. PSG seems too powerful with Enrique in charge. The match will be fascinating, but I don't expect a major shock

I think Lens will win the match again against Montpellier.

Montpellier just won 13 points and ranked 13th very modestly. Montpellier's strikers are alarming. Since the beginning of the season, Montpellier has played 7 matches at home and only won 1, lost 2, and drew 4. Lens is showing excellent form in Ligue 1 this season. They have been unbeaten in 9 consecutive matches. Montpellier is not Lens' opponent, as they have only won one head-to-head game from 2021 until now. Combined with Lens' high performance in the domestic tournament, the host's chances of winning points are meager. The pressure on the home team is enormous. Lens must also maintain a ranking in the group with tickets to the European Cup with victories.

Both teams showed their determination before the clash and promised a dramatic match. But I will bet on the underdog anyway.

[armanda90]

Yes, although it can be said that change cannot be instantaneous but it does need to be done in various ways so that they are not eliminated this season, if it requires motivation, it can be used as a motivation for them to burn their enthusiasm again to continue to survive in league 1, and I think Lyon still has enough time to build its strength again, considering the new league trip until the midway session.

Lyon need more motivation regarding their achievement in Ligue 1 this season, won 1 of 14 matches in domestic league are the poor result than other Ligue 1 team winning one match only. I don't sure if not sign some player when winter transfer window opening Lyon can defend their position keep existing in Ligue 1 next season. Currently Lyon need 7 points above if want out from relegation zone looking for several matches later not easy with Lyon potential get three points on every match.

Before winter transfer window opening, Lyon have reach deal with some player exactly with defense position as Ligue 1 team have conceded many goals until 27 goals of 14 matches. Ligue 1 will loss the most historical team if Lyon can out and return to the top standings position teams however have many matches left can't guarantee for Lyon will secure from relegated to Ligue 2.

Tonight will be another lucky for Lens to continue their good trend, because although Lens in that game play as away but Lens are better rather than Montpellier. In my opinion, Lens has a high possibility of winning, especially Lens has not been defeated in the last five matches in league one. Meanwhile, Montpellier has not a good record in their last five matches in this league, I mean the Montpellier squad never won. Although Deiver Machado and Florian Sotoca are unavailable for tonight match, I personally believe Lens can win, and at odds @2.26 it seems like is worth to bet.
