French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

There has already been some improvement in Aubameyang's performance recently. That hat-trick against Ajax must have improved his morale a lot before anything else. By this great performance in the Lyon game as well he has increased his streak of scoring at least one goal to three games. 1 goal and 2 assists were enough to make him the man of the match.

PSG's next game is against Nantes home. I see another comfortable win for them already. Nice have a home game against Reims on the other hand. I think Nice's job is quite difficult and they might lose two points. Their streak of not losing a game in the league lasted 13 games by the way. 

Asides the goal scored last night, he made the right decisions made the right run and was a better and beautiful teammate to him squad.
This is another Improved performance since he both left Arsenal, and Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel sack affected Per Emerick Aubameyang, otherwise he would have been with Chelsea maybe ( That's a doubt ). Chelsea management never gave enough chance to Thomas Tuchel. This is the coach that won them the Champions League no?

Per Emerick Aubameyang now has five goals in Europa League and the same for themselves. He has also contributed three goals and assist.

Aubameyang wasn't comfortable with Arsenal after a point because of starting to have personal issues with the team. He couldn't even find proper chances to play at Chelsea. He really did the right thing by leaving Chelsea at the earliest opportunity. Because he didn't have any future left there as he was just losing match fitness.

When it comes to Tuchel topic it is definitely the owner's fault. Why would you part ways with the best manager you have had recently? Just because of having other issues he wanted to sack him.

Lyon are going to look for a chance to take a deep breath against Toulouse this week. It is a home match but it doesn't matter much for Lyon though.

Winning this match would be really useful for Lyon considering that Toulouse are right above the relegation zone. But even against the teams having a similar level season to them I can't still be confident about Lyon to win at all. Sometimes they are really trying but there is a huge scoring problem. If they manage to increase the number of goals they score at least they can collect more points.

It's been a while since I've monitored the atmosphere in Ligue 1 and I was really surprised to see Lyon's current condition, I thought they were still in the middle of the standing with their poor condition, but it turns out they're at the bottom of the standing and even below trash club " Clermont Foot ".

Judging from all aspects, this time is a good opportunity for Lyon to improve the condition and mentality of their players, Toulouse isn't a strong team and they're playing away, bookies also favor Lyon to win. But for some reason I still have doubts about Lyon .

No matter how sad we are about this situation, this is perhaps the only match Lyon can win in a few weeks. They will play against a weak opponent, so they have to do their best and try to win 3 points. This is the only way to move forward in the standings and get out of the bottom.
They will be on the field to get their second win in the league, I hope they can be successful

The bookmakers was provided almost equal odds to Rennes and Monaco although on the paper Monaco is the favourite but they still unable to showing consistent performance and Rennes conditions too is not so different because until week 14 they were just collect 3 wins and it makes their position currently at 12th place and Rennes position also still not fully secured because they only have 3 difference points above to Lorient which is the team from relegation zone

For Monaco squad update Balogun, Minamino and Wissam Ben Yedder will be available today so they are in the good fitness and for Rennes so far there was no key players from them who got injured except Nemanja Matic who got suspension and actually this match result is hard to predicted because both teams sometimes displayed unpredictable performance but considering Monaco performance was more stable than Rennes i think Monaco will be able to being an the winner of this match and Monaco win has high odds @2.55

[rendravolt]

Almost some people would have thought that Lens would win the away match against Montpellier but it seems that this did not materialize after the two teams only played a goalless draw in this match. In fact, Lens really controlled the match with 66% ball possession while Montpellier only had 34%, but overall Montpellier was able to keep up with Lens' game.

I also bet on this match and held Lens' win but once again I lost which made me very unlucky this week. Apart from all that, Lens managed to climb to 5th position but it looks like this is only temporary considering that Reims will still have their match this week against Nice and if Reims can win then Lens' position will be taken over again by Reims.

Aubameyang wasn't comfortable with Arsenal after a point because of starting to have personal issues with the team. He couldn't even find proper chances to play at Chelsea. He really did the right thing by leaving Chelsea at the earliest opportunity. Because he didn't have any future left there as he was just losing match fitness.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang best time was in Arsenal Borussia Dortmund where he scored 92 and 141 goals respectively. He suffered setbacks in Barcelona and Chelsea because he couldn't replicate his forms in these clubs. But it seems he is regaining his forms in Olympique de Marseille where Gennaro Gattuso is building a team that is pushing to get to the top. He scored a goal and gave two assists in their recent win against Olympique de Lyonnais. We can't expect much from a 34-year-old striker that is going close to his retirement age, we will have to appreciate every little he makes.

When it comes to Tuchel topic it is definitely the owner's fault. Why would you part ways with the best manager you have had recently? Just because of having other issues he wanted to sack him.

Todd Boehly said Thomas Tuchel's views are inconsistent with the ideology of the new management. The new owner felt that the club needed to be overhauled to bring in the needed positive change. But I know he would regret his actions because his decision has caused more harm to the club. The club that was built by Roman Abramovich for many years was gradually been destroyed by poor management.

This is not his era again. Aubameyang's era finished. He will not able to perform like what he used to be. Aubameyang must accept if his performance has been declining so hard. He is now playing like a mediocre player right now.

Aubameyang shall accept if his era is coming to its end. So many clubs have been rejecting him. It's hard for him to accept it but as you can see that if this is the end of him.

Aubameyang is not needed by any club again. He can only play in mediocre club.

[slapper]

Nobody was talking about any disappointment regarding the performance of PSG, in fact it is quite the opposite mixed with a sense of sarcasm because what do we expect from PSG in Ligue 1?

This is the only reason why I would like a Super League. Otherwise I am against it, but to see which team comes out on top after maybe 20 games or so against all the top teams from Europe, it would be interesting. But seeing that PSG dominates Ligue 1, it's not really interesting.

I thought Nice would be able to break the jinx of PSG dominating Ligue One but they soon lost some points and ended up in the second position four points below PSG. I agree that the Super League would have been interesting because big football clubs will compete with each other. Most of these big teams have the money to buy quality players so we would have seen an exciting football league. PSG will continue to dominate the French League until other clubs can have access to the kind of money they have. Maybe if Saudi or Qatari investors take over another club in the Ligue One, they might build a club that will give PSG the needed competition.

Among the clubs in Ligue 1, one of the most financially sound clubs is PSG. Several Qatari investors have invested in PSG, which is why we never hear of PSG being in a bad financial position. We didn't see PSG make significant player purchases last season, even if there weren't financial problems. Last season, instead of buying significant players, PSG released a significant number of players and appointed Luis Enrique as the new manager. Luis Enrique is able to do very well with a fairly level team. They had a bad start to the season but now they are a very consistent team this season. PSG might dominate this season and they might plan well for the Champions League next season.

PSG's financial stability is impressive. They thrive in a market when many clubs are failing thanks to Qatari support. They didn't sign many players last season, as you said. Instead, streamline the squad and bring in Luis Enrique, who's done marvels with his resources. A good decision, it balances the books and keeps you competitive. I'm doubtful about PSG's Champions League hopes. Despite a star-studded roster, their record is poor. Like they have all the elements but haven't found the European success recipe. Mbappe's departure would be devastating. He's a player, icon, and change-maker. I wonder how they'll fill that gap. Will they spend more or be more strategic?

I think that double chance is always a preferable choice in the difficult bet like this. We do know that if montpellier was a weak club but we must be aware that if lens was not, that comes back to the what it used to be.
Lens has been performing so badly, and this is the main problem. There are so many people who have been also going to the difficult choice when it came to a very difficult to match like this one.

I would rather than avoid the risky choice, like picking one of them. Double chance always becomes preferable choice in any difficult match caused by we have more chance to win the game.
You were not lucky enough but im sure that there are many of people were also feeling the same thing as you. I have not picked my choice in this match.
I refrain myself from betting on the difficult match like this.

In fact, Lens really controlled the match with 66% ball possession while Montpellier only had 34%, but overall Montpellier was able to keep up with Lens' game.

Lens controlled almost the entire match. They were strong on all fronts in that match. But they had 5 shots on target and Montpellier had 4 shots on target. This shows that Lens performed poorly in that match. I bet on Lens in that match because I saw their last 5 games. To be honest, Lens played quite well, but the poor finishing made me lose the bet.

Basically, the record they have in the head to head and also about their matches so far is still not a complete guarantee that it will happen too. But indeed, with the analysis obtained, at least we will know and or will realize that the team is better in the match. So ya, even though Lens is the favored team but still, because Lens also plays away then I think it's still not easy for Lens to beat Montpellier. Unless, if Lens has good consistency in away matches, then maybe Lens will still have a great chance to win. So, with a draw result like that, I think it's still a reasonable result, because I also only bet with the double chance option for Lens and it's safer I guess.

Montpellier vs Lens in today's match between two teams, neither team could score. Since the start of the game, both teams could not score even after trying hard. For which neither team could win in this match, the match was drawn. Lens team performed very well in this match.  Couldn't. I thought Lens might win this match but Lens couldn't score any goal because Montpellier team performed well. Lens is far ahead of Montpellier team in points table.

[Blitzboy]

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.   

I am not against any scenario where we can see one team from Ligue 1 compete with PSG when there are like 6-7 games left of the season, but how likely is it really. It usually won't happen and if it does, it means that PSG must have failed so hard that the whole league wasn't fun at all. Either PSG is as good as they can and they win the league easily and make some trouble in the Champions League as well, or everything sucks. It's two bad options.

In a one-horse race at the end, their dominance might make the league look uneventful. Not much suspense in a movie with a known finale. Their Champions League performance contrasts intriguingly. PSG usually dominates Ligue 1 but struggles in Europe.

PSG's weaknesses grow in the Champions League, where competition and stakes are stronger. Despite having Messi and Neymar, they havent broken the code. Would it be team strength or something more intangible like experience or team dynamics? Success in Ligue 1 doesnt guarantee European glory, maybe for a variety of reasons. Fans and observers continue to puzzle over PSG's league performance.

Montpellier results weren't good lately, they either get a draw or lose. In this match they played and made some attempts, they annoyed Lens in Montpellier. Lens successive victories was stopped yesterday and Brest could take their place in the scoreboard and since Reims will face Nice then I assume they will not advance in the ranking until both Reims and Lens face each others in the next round.

PSG might dominate this season and they might plan well for the Champions League next season.

The problem is that investment is one thing, you need to build the team based on the income as well, and PSG has turned that money into income as well. Some teams don't have that, look at Newcastle, they have been bought by a rich club and did alright last season but this season they are not doing all that great, which means that they do not have that much income right now, even sportswashing didn't save them and it is going to be clear that when you do not have income it is not going to be all that easy.

PSG did something fine, they are in ligue 1 France, and they have been dominating that league all the time, tens of millions of euros are coming in via not just the league but UCL as well because they are almost always out of the group stages as well.

I actually previously suspected and said the opposite if Montpellier had a chance to overthrow Lens, in the match last night. In the previous post, I reviewed why Lens would not go all out in the match against Montpellier. Unfortunately, this match ended with a score of 0-0. and referring to the statistics of the match, Lens really had more control over ball possession. However, based on the chances of the two teams, they do not have a significant difference in chance comparison. The difference is, Montpellier relies more on counter attacks. Unfortunately, the 3 counterattack opportunities they had could not be utilized properly and converted into goals.

Referring to these two teams, I previously said in another post. if the home team at least doesn't want to drop points, neither does Lens. However, Lens has a game remaining in the group phase and that match will be a crucial battle. So I assume that Lens will focus more on the match ahead of Sevilla. But that doesn't mean Lens is ignoring this match. However, they will not appear allout because they have to save energy. that's why, I have two options in betting, handicap option and Under. however, Under 2.5 goals is safer. and yes, the results match the scenario. Well, we'll see when Lens host the match against Sevilla later.

For today's match, PSG will host Nantes. It seems that Enrique will make a rotation for his squad. because, after this match, Paris Saint-Germain will play a match against Dortmund in the Champions League group phase. This match is also decisive for PSG. However, referring to the predicted line-up, Asensio will start this match as a center forward. PSG should be able to overthrow Nantes without any problems. Mininally, Luid Enrique's squad will score 2 goals in this match.

Yes, Mbappe is quite great striker and with PSG this season he managed to provide 15 goals and 2 assists in 13 Ligue 1 matches, but PSG themselves have not been successful in convincing Mbappe to extend his contract.
No one really knows what the future will be like because Mbappe himself still chooses to remain silent and has not given any statement about his status after his contract expires with PSG, nor has he given any information about whether to leave or stay there.
But I am sure that with Mbappe dream, who really wants the UCL title, he will be sure to leave PSG and play with the team he has always been associated with, namely Real Madrid.
The latest rumors also state that Mbappe and Real Madrid met and made secret agreement that would be given to Mbappe if he actually played there.
I don't know what will happen to PSG if they lose Mbappe because this striker is always the savior for PSG wins.

Yes, Real Madrid President Fiorentino Perez really admires Mbappe and even though they failed to bring him in the last transfer window, they are trying again to get him.
This is rare moment where Mbappe can be chased, even for the second time.

Mbappe no doubt is one striker with great goal scoring quality and yes, he wants to take on challenges outside the Ligue 1 that could fetch him the UCL title; he’s going to be missed by PSG but the team haven’t done anything concrete to keep him glued. Yes, Mbappe seems silent but he’s sure going to get the contracts in from Top Clubs and when he’s made his choice, I think he’ll let his choice known.

 Though there have been talks about Real Madrid wanting the striker though and his chances moving there are quite high. PSG losing Mbappe is going to be one very worrisome thing for the team generally and it could affect team’s performance, Real Madrid really admires Mbappe, and they’ll want him on their team and his addition will be a great one for the team. But it’ll be a loss to PSG and the team generally needs to get a replacement.

[Weawant]

It has been a day filled with much of surprise across Europe so I'm not really expecting much from PSG tonight so I don't end up in another surprise, but then the obvious seems like PSG is at advantage than their opponent, Monaco earlier were able to get three points after their opponent got a red card of which turned out in their advantage.

The game between PSG just started and they are in their early minutes of the first half, PSG is already looking like they will be domineering in this game, moreover they are at home which I see to be a very good advantage for them, I'm I much anticipation to see how well Mbappe will perform after the recent news of Madrid loosing interest in him and probably not further make moves for him, so most likely he may end up a free agent, I just hope it doesn't affect his psychology and performance.

think it's not about playing out of the French league but it's about earning the achievement he can get in PSG. Mbappe knows for a team like PSG it's much harder to search the Chmapnios league and waiting for this team to win that title in just something useless that's why he is interested in joining Real Madrid however, we should wait to see the results Enrique can get in this season with PSG.

[Richbased]

The match between PSG and Nantes just ended and PSG managed to win Nantes by 2-1 as they almost draw the match but Randal Kolo Muani 83rd minutes strike saw PSG defeating Nantes. PSG won but their wasn't really much pressure in this match as PSG needs to do better in their performance because little teams that they can easily win are the ones they are struggling to win instead which is very bad considering the experienced squad that PSG have and to be finding it difficult to win teams that are less competitive.
