French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hahay]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was a close match between PSG and Nantes,not many chances so in the match but PSG took the win somehow in the second half . Nantes was playing okay and could have gotten a draw but just couldnt handle a presure from PSG. This ended up a big win for PSG now they are ahead 6 points.

I love me a game when Paris Saint Germans wins and the goal scored are not just from Kylian Mbappe alone. Tonight,  two goals to put parisians back on top of the table amongst and it didn't come from Kylian Mbappe. He's scored good numbers for them already bit it's good to see they be preparing for his exit which we know is fast approaching.

Glad they could win. They have to prepare themselves against Borrussia Dortmund and I believe it was a good way for Parisians to prepare for Borrussia Dortmund who flopped today against Leipzig. Though, Liepzig are in a better form than em. Kylian Mbappe moving to Real Madrid is not certain. We'll get proper feedbacks within the next three weeks!

Regarding the performance we saw from these two teams, you are right and both teams were close and even Nantes had the chance to beat PSG in this match but the fact about these two teams is PSG has much better and more expensive players in the team which can help the team in the situation like this. That's why you can see PSG got many more opportunities in this match.

  PSG is at advantage than their opponent

PSG Was not only at an advantage in the tie against Nantes; they also have an advantage in the french league as well. A  2 -1 victory away at Nantes meant that PSG goes 6 points clear on the french league table with half way fixtures looming.

Do you think Luis Enrique will lead the boys to glory ?

The match is according to what I predicted, if Paris Saint-Germain will score at least 2 goals in this match. and yeah, Bradley Barcola scored his first goal in this match, and that was quite good as an early goal. while PSG's second goal was scored from the chaos that occurred in the opposing team's goalkeeper's defense area. Fortunately, Kolo Muani was able to take advantage of this opportunity.
As a result, PSG continues its positive trend in this competition with the last 8 matches winning. Thus, PSG was able to maintain a distance of 6 points from Manaco who also won their match against Stade Rennais. Unfortunately, the PSG goalkeeper should have been able to block Mostafa Mohamed's header if he had been more alert. because, its position coincides with the direction the ball is coming from. Maybe, because Mostafa Mohamed's header had quite high speed, Arnau Tenas couldn't block it. PSG should have won this match with a clean sheet. Even so, PSG still got full points in this match.

Now, we are just waiting for the PSG match against Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park.
Regarding Mbappe going to Real Madrid, so far there are no rumors or definite news. So, what is certain is that Mbappe will still be in the PSG uniform at least until this season. Regarding next summer, that still has quite a long gap. So, let's just follow every match that Ligue 1 presents, even though it doesn't really offer exciting matches.

Of course PSG will easily become champions again this season because by the 15th match of this season PSG has been able to widen the points gap to 6 points with the teams below it. so it is very likely that they will close the first half of the season with a large points gap with the second place team.
Apart from that, Monaco and Nice are not too strong to be able to break PSG dominance in Ligue 1 because PSG strength is getting stronger by winning in every match.

Mbappe seems to be starting to provide good space for other players to continue scoring goals and he is not too ambitious anymore judging from the way he plays. However, he is one of the keys to PSG revival this season and of course Luis Enrique is not too worried about the final result if Mbappe plays from the start. On the other hand, Kolo Muani performed well in this match because he played as a substitute but was able to make a big contribution in this match by scoring a goal and sealing PSG victory in today's match.

Though we saw a lot of surprising results from big clubs across the top five European leagues this weekend but Paris Saint Germaine made sure they didn't fall in to the category of big teams that were beaten by smaller teams. Kolo Muani's 83rd minute goal ensured the French champions comfortably defeated their visitors Nantes and further extend their lead at the top of the table to five points.

Luis Enrique's Paris Saint Germaine have been very consistent in the league and considering the quality of players in their possession as well as how good they've been Al season, it's very obvious that they're gonna retain the league title at the end of the season

[legendbtc]

After an unstable initial period, PSG began to win an impressive series of victories. It's no surprise that PSG owns the No. 1 attack in Ligue 1. Luis Enrique's army has continued to be unbeaten in this arena. PSG had a hard-fought victory over Nantes in round 15 of Ligue 1 to firmly secure the top spot in the table.
The goal was only materialized near the end of the first half when young talent Bradley Barcola scored his first goal for the team. That was also the most notable opportunity to end the first half. But Nantes suddenly equalized. But it was in the 83rd minute, originating from a free kick situation. Lucas Hernandez jumped high and headed the ball high, making it impossible for the opposing goalkeeper to catch the ball and opening up the opportunity for star substitute Randal Kolo Muani to score. Thereby helping PSG extend their winning streak in the domestic tournament.

Kylian Mbappe is a good striker that any team will want to sign in their squad, his achievement for PSG can attest to that and should he leave PSG, the club will really find it difficult for a replacement that will equal his quality of play and moreover, PSG's over dependency on Kylian Mbappe is too much because it just seems as if the club may not really do well in his absence but whichever club he chooses to play for he's gonna give in his best because he's a player that's always focused in the pitch of play so definitely he's gonna do a great job to any club he finds himself.

Now, we are in 15th round with after win against Nantes at home now PSG having 6 points lead from the second spotted Monaco but if today Nice won against Reims then lead could be 4 from the possible second spotted Nice, and we have 23 rounds more left in this season mean any prediction is not possible even PSG is superior in domestic league from their opponents, but things can take any change, and we can watch changes in positions as well which can hurt any team.

Win against Nantes is surely having good positive impact on PSG as now they are heading to Germany for the another big clash against Dortmund for the spot in round of 16 in Champions League, hopefully they will do better and secure their spot which will bring good booster for them in coming matches from both leagues.
