French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[QueenVera]

I must admit that Monaco have been incredible in home matches until this moment. They are currently the second best team about that in the league. They are very productive and really good at conceding as few goals as possible. They are like a nightmare team to Lyon with these statistics while Lyon are in big need of a winning streak in the league to recover faster.  

Maybe Lyon beat Toulouse to take a deep breath. But it looks like it won't take them a long time to be demoralized again. I expect a solid effort by Monaco to win by at least a 2-goal difference here. Marseille beat Lyon by 3-0 recently you know. I won't be surprised if we see the same from Monaco.

In the French league, there's been a bit of competitiveness but all time, Monaco have been able to keep up with the tempo in previous seasons up till now. They're still at a level of dominance and it's encouraging that week after week they've got higher probability of making positive difference in every game they're in.
The result of every game matters as it's a determinant of their progress in the domestic league.

 I feel when they'll face Lyon, a win is expected because the latter doesn't really have much grounds yet and are just flunctuating in performances. The goal margin too should be tangible enough. Though it'll be a rough league ride for Lyon as they've been experiencing ups and downs too, they were a good team and maybe are currently around average performance level but still they can make differences. They've still got weeks before the season elapses.

It's not like previous games, I don't see any light from Monaco in first half. They couldn't really control the game, Lyon defend well and look for counter attack. Balogun is not effective. Monaco have to find a goal asap or things will be harder for them. Lyon would be okay with 1 point so Monaco is the side that have to win here.
Lacazette made a hat-trick last time but he couldn't get any position in this game. Monaco is not like Toulouse. He could get maybe one or two positions whole game so he has to score if he finds that opportunity.

I don't know what happened in the first half because I didn't watch the match, but it looks like Monaco will have a very difficult time beating Lyon in this match because defense is Lyon's main focus so as not to lose ridiculously. The two teams played out a draw in the first half, neither scored a goal although Monaco performed well with several chances.

The second half had started, so I thought I had a little time to watch it before moving on to the Nottingham vs Tottenham match again. Monaco can most likely win at home, but if Lyon can defend well then a 0-0 finish is also possible.

I also didn't watch the match but when I've enough time, I'll ensure to play out good time to watch the highlights. We should never underestimate average clubs in Ligue One and tonight is one of the improving game for Lyon. They're holding down one of the top clubs in France and this might just be a winning match for the club sitting bottom of the league. AS Monaco having draw points with Olympique Lyonnias in the 68th minutes of the match. I don't understand what's going on because I see no solid reason why Monaco can withstand the high pressure.

The match time is also almost over and Monaco as the host in this match is still unable to equalize with Lyon. This actually surprised me a little because Lyon was able to make a fairly strong team in Ligue1 experience difficulties and a very real defeat in their match today. If Lyon is able to make every opponent experience difficulties like this in every game remaining this season, I think Lyon will not experience relegation and everyone can still see Lyon competing as usual in Ligue1 next season.

I think the unbelievable is actually happening now because if the goal of Jefferson Ruan Jeffinho helps Lyon to seal this victory from away against an informed AS Monaco then we shouldn't underestimate any average team not just in Ligue1 but in all the league. I think this result tonight will encourage and motivate Lyon to perform better because it's going to serve as a moral booster for the team since the win is coming from away and a win against a top club this season is a good achievement foe them i hope they get this victory since it's going to see them having hope of getting out of the relegation zone, let's wait till the final results so we can celebrate the Lyon team 😂.

I wasn't really expecting such result in the Monaco - Lyon game so I must admit that I'm very surprised. Especially in the first half Monaco were very effective. Their xG was around 1.00 but still couldn't score a goal. If they got ahead there maybe Lyon were going to lose their concentration which would lead to a bigger loss as well.

However we saw a much worse Monaco in the second half. They were further from scoring a goal despite having the double amount of their goal attempts in the first half. They had only 1 out of 13 shots on target in the second half I mean. Lyon somehow managed to score the winning goal in the last minutes and kept it to the end. This is another very valuable win for Lyon to make a move for getting out of the relegation zone.

I wouldn't deny that I was pretty sure that Monaco will win in this game and I am surprised to see them being defeated by Lyon. Jeffinho scored the only goal at the end of the game while Lyon was not dominating the match nor making a lot of attempts. At the end, Lyon was able to escape from the last place and be placed in the 17th position for the moment. I expect them to remain in this position since the two teams under them will have quite hard games this round. Monaco also will not lose their place since Lille which is just behind them will face PSG.
Two successive positive results from Lyon, do they finally woke up?

I find Monaco's loss shocking because they are among the top teams in French League One this year, while Lyon has been fighting to avoid relegation because of their poor start and performance thus far. However, Lyon found their playing form after their most recent game. If Lyon continues to play this well through the end of the season, I believe Olympic Lyonnaise are going to arise from the League in a different way thanks to their strong performance.

Tonight's football match had a really big surprise. Imagine Lyon, who is usually not doing well, managed to beat Monaco, a team that's usually much stronger and it  is in the third position in the league table. It's like the last-placed Lyon suddenly became super strong and defeated the team that everyone thought would win easily.

I was also surprised because, before the game started, I thought Monaco would win easily because they have been playing so well, and Lyon hasn't been doing great lately. But guess what? Football is full of surprises, and tonight was one of those times. Lyon, the underdog, proved everyone wrong and showed that in football, anything can happen, making the game way more exciting than anyone expected.

Whether there was an element of luck or not, Lyon's victory over Monaco was truly surprising. In fact, if we look at the position alone, far away, Monaco is in the top clubs while Lyon is in the relegation zone. Moreover, statistics show how dominant and strong Monaco is during the game. They are quite skilled at toying with their opponents and also dominating the ball so they are often at their aid. But unfortunately, Monaco only focused on that and was not strong enough when pressing on the opponent's defense. This should be homework that Monaco should pay attention to. because after all, they lost to a lower club and this is quite embarrassing. Especially with statistics where they excel in all lines. It's really sad to see the final result.

Lyon was able to collect 3 points today by beating Monaco ans so far this is their third winning this season and playing at Monaco home ground Lyon was playing under pressure but Lyon defensive lines were very discipline and they can managed their defense until the match ended and after several week always in the bottom of league standings finally Lyon can lifted up their position on 16th place and indeed as a caretaker Pierre Sage has been done well and now Lyon seems very optimistic they can able to avoiding relegation zone

Monaco has just gets their 4th loses this season and they were failed to overtake second place from Nice and i have to say probably Monaco will be out from the race with Nice and PSG this because Monaco performance was decline and from 7 latest matches Monaco only can able to gets 3 wins and although Monaco has change their manager but Adi Hütter was unable to bringing Monaco to playing consistent and they seems still make the same mistakes just like last season that Monaco was unable to managed their consistency

I saw some sequences of this game and wow, this was so important for Olympique Lyon as they could now have their first small winning streak this season. But Monaco should have won the game without a doubt. This was one of those notorious lucky punches. Lyon managed to get into the game better and better over time, but Monaco was the team with the chances although Lyon did do one thing very well, which was keeping Monaco at a distance from the Lyon goal. Monaco had a lot of attempts, but not really a lot of shots on target. Those three points are like gold for Lyon.

Monaco tried but their best was not good enough. Allowing and watching Olympique Lyon narrowly escaping a draw tie with Monaco. Lyon sits and comfortably goes home with three points and this can be the longterm motivation for the club, the hand of clock can charge and we can watch how these average clubs becoming top teams in Ligue One. Lyon grabbed a winning and it is against an elite club that was on the other hand struggling to win a common club that have been losing non-stop but facing Monaco, everything changed.

The match went on and in my opinion Lyon was not that bad, and the result of their match was 1-0, Monaco apparently lost but Lyon could only produce one goal against Monaco. So in my opinion it hasn't fully awakened yet. But in my opinion, the results of the match show that Lyon put up resistance so that the match could be said to be fierce, Monaco also had quite difficulty producing goals, we can see from there that Lyon has improved quite a bit because they won this match.

Next, Lyon faces Nantes, if they really recover and want to regain their position, I think it will be successful if their performance improves quickly. Lyon refused to be mocked and left league one. They must be consistent in winning matches so that their position can be safe.

Lyon is one of the traditional clubs in France and over the years has been one of the top clubs in the league but since the start of the season, they've been absolutely poor with their performance while Monaco where 20 points better than Lyon before their game on Friday night have been on of the best teams on the league this season. But surprisingly, Lyon who were the away side in the game, defeated Monaco tonight. What even made the result of the game more shocking is the fact that Monaco failed to score in the game as well despite playing in front of their home fans. I don't think there's any game in the French Ligue 1 this weekend that's gonna produce a more surprising result than we saw tonight.

Lyon who's been struggling since the start of the league and were at the bottom of the league table before the game tonight have moved up to the 16th position of the league after that surprise win and I think the result is gonna go a long way in improving the general performance of the team as they continue to fight for safety in the French Ligue 1 standings.

I can't understand what changes in Lyon to make this team stay motivated for the game they have in the French league but so far and in the last two games we saw from Lyon, they won one important match against Monaco while Monaco is in a good situation and everyone could easily predict to see Lyon using the game against Monaco, and they won another match against, Toulouse.
Now Lyon is in a better situation and they are in the 16 places of the table with 13 points, Lyon is trying to get themselves out of the danger zone.

Lyon got a very important win to get themselves out of the danger zone, and they got this win against Monaco, the third-placed team in the league. It is really painful to see the champion team of years in the last place. For Lyon fans, this victory could be the ticket out. Jeffinho entered the game later and scored the goal that would save Lyon in the 85th minute. He was literally the savior of the day.

[rendravolt]

As I expected, Lyon still has great prestige when playing against equal teams and despite their current position at the bottom of the standings, they are not resigned to accepting the situation and have succeeded in reversing public expectations. A dramatic win in the final minutes of the match meant that Lyon secured 3 points again and Monaco failed to maintain their good form at home.

This result makes Monaco even further behind PSG and it seems they are aware that the competition this season will result in the same thing. Meanwhile for Lyon, they have been one step away from the relegation zone since the start of the season and they must win the next match and take advantage of the current momentum.

It was seen that Monaco was careless at the end of the match, creating a gap that Lyon could exploit to get 3 points.
This is Lyon's third win this season and two of them came in the last two matches they played, this is momentum for Lyon to continue to move further away from the relegation zone, and next they will face Nantes and every match played by Lyon will be a tough match considering their position at the moment, but this victory has lifted the mentality of the Lyon players to continue to gain points in every match.
Nice will face Le Havre, this will still be a 50/50 match for Nice even though the betting market is the favorite for them to win but Le Havre still has a chance in this home match.
My prediction is that whoever wins this match will only be achieved with a very narrow score because both teams are not productive teams.
The average goal score for both teams is quite low, If both teams score then this will be a match that ends in a draw, but Nice will not let it happen the match ended in a draw so that their point difference with PSG remains small because with the match there were still many, opportunities for Nice to overtake PSG still there, it was just that they needed PSG to fall in several matches.

I'm just checking the Ligue One table and I'm amazed to see Olympique Lyon raising from the relegation zone this season. This thing called football comes with different scores and I don't underrate any club. The momentum and odd for Lyon to win Monaco was very slim, but looking at the final results, there's absolutely nothing impossible in football. Olympique Lyon finally secured three points in the final minutes of gameplay against Monaco who couldn't believed because they've dominated the match fulltime and failed to convert their chances to golden goal opportunities.
