French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

Two days to go for the Lens - PSG game. Both teams have many missing players before this game but it is many more for Lens now. Lens have been doing a pretty good job in head-to-head home games against PSG so far. But with this number of missing players I don't know how strong they would be this time.    PSG are a little weaker in away games according to home ones this season.

However they are still doing great in away games statistically - 17 goals scored, 6 goals conceded. They stumbled on the Lille obstacle a month ago. But while Lens are deprived of so many players PSG can take advantage of it to get an easier win.

It's not right to compare Lens and PSG by the head-to-head games they had before because the situation for both teams has not changed and especially for Lens because they are not in the same situation they had before.
Lens in the team they were even racing with PSG until the last weeks of the last season but they are not even near to the top of the table now and maybe that's a good reason to say Lens won't have too much chance against PSG.

It is quite easy for Lyon to return to the top 10 because the points difference with the clubs above is very close, but still Lyon's position is very unsafe because Lorient and Toulouse also have a very close gap to Lyon.
On this occasion, I am sure that Lyon will soon improve and we will see that at the weekend Lyon will face Le Havre and if Lyon is successful they can beat Le Havre. I am sure that Lyon will start to improve.

For me, it is not only about Lyon's success in getting 3 consecutive wins because ya, in fact Lyon also managed to beat Moncao who is in the top 3 in the current Ligue 1 standings. What's more, the victory that Lyon got against Monaco happened when Lyon played away and thus, I personally will remain confident that Lyon still has a chance to continue to rise in the Ligue 1 standings in the second half of this season. Also, the point is that Lyon has managed to get out of the relegation zone and it can be completed in the first half of the season as well. Therefore, for the next match even though Lyon will play away against Le Havre but ya, I will still believe that Lyon will have a good chance to win.

In fact, Lyon managed to win 4 times in a row in all competitions, most recently they managed to achieve a landslide victory in the French Cup against Pontarlier. With Lyon's current journey, I think they have managed to recover from the downturn experienced at the start of the season, their confidence has now recovered, of course Lyon's current target is to improve the standings and stay away from the relegation zone.

Against Le Havre, I don't think Lyon will make a mistake that will result in them losing points again, even though Lyon will travel to Le Havre. I am sure that with Lyon's confidence that they have now, they will win this match. especially if you look at the history of their meetings, Lyon was very dominant over Le Havre, even in the first match of the half of the season when Lyon was slumping, Le Havre was unable to beat Lyon. So in the Le Havre vs Lyon match, I am willing to bet that Lyon will win this match.

Ligue 1 is still always dominated by PSG and I think if there is another team that is in good condition and is able to beat PSG then that could be very interesting.
Aren't we all waiting for something new to happen for Ligue 1?

Last season Lens should have been able to break PSG's dominance, but unfortunately they failed due to a difference of one point and allowed PSG to win Ligue 1 again, but this season it seems that Lens is not doing better than last season, while this season other club competitors such as Nice also experienced defeats. twice in their five matches, bringing the gap to PSG to five points for now, it seems true that we don't see any other club playing better this season.

The change in schedule and change in focus for them made this a little more difficult than Lens had envisioned.
They went straight into the Champions League with little experience while trying to stabilize the form they had in several competitions at once making it difficult for them to get out of their zone this season unlike what they did last season because their focus was only Ligue 1 but this season is a little different for them.
But we can see when Lens tried to focus on Ligue 1 because they realized that the Champions League was hopeless for them I think their performance slowly regained momentum.

And the proof that they managed to stay away from the uncomfortable zone in relegation and now shot to a more decent position and have even penetrated the top board I think it has been a good improvement for Lens even though it is not like last season but their current performance has shown quite rapid progress.

Lens had a very impressive performance in the French league last season and even finished the season with just one point behind eventual winner Paris Saint Germaine as they also qualified to pay in the UEFA champions league competition this season and that has made a lot of people to think that they're capable of beating the French champions Paris Saint Germaine when the two clubs meet this weekend in their league game.
But as someone who's been following the proceedings in the French league since the start of the season, I can authoritatively say that Lens aren't as strong and consistent as the were last season. Paris Saint Germaine are currently in good form and playing against Lens, I expect nothing but a convincing win for the reigning French champions.

I think you are saying quite a reasonable thing because currently Lens are far from PSG in the Ligue1 standings table and even the points that Lens has are almost half of the points that PSG has so the two are really not worth comparing. And PSG is also more likely to win this match than the home team like Lens, whose abilities this season are very far below PSG. Apart from that, I also think that this match is the easiest match for PSG even though PSG is only a visiting team at Lens' home ground.

I think it's quite interesting and there's no harm in placing it. Maybe the circumstances are not the same, but in matches at the start of the year like this we are usually presented with unexpected surprises. I mean PSG are clearly favored to win but that's not guaranteed when Lens is the host. Sometimes things we think don't go according to plan and PSG will definitely realize that when they play Lens later. So PSG should start to be alert and Lens will likely secure points at home.

Just as you have said, I see the match as a match that should be an easy win for PSG but I don't just know why odds from bookmarkers from the two teams are somehow close. Nevertheless I think PSG should surely secure is 3 points here.

So in the Le Havre vs Lyon match, I am willing to bet that Lyon will win this match.

It's relieving to see Lyon is back to what they should be. winning four times in a row, especially over Monaco, suggests a significant turnaround for the team. The regained confidence is indeed crucial for Lyon's aspirations to climb the standings and avoid the relegation zone. The upcoming match against Le Havre should be another win for them considering their current form and historical dominance in previous meetings.

Confidence can play a pivotal role in football, and Lyon's positive momentum could certainly be a determining factor in the outcome. Lyon's ability should maintain superiority over Le Havre even during their earlier struggles. It suggests that Lyon has historically been a challenging opponent for Le Havre, reinforcing the likelihood of a positive result for Lyon in the upcoming match. Fans often appreciate such informed perspectives that take into account both recent performances and historical matchups. Let's see how Lyon continues to perform and whether they can secure another victory against Le Havre.

Marseille had a performance which was quite below the expectation level from them tonight. This resulted in their two-point loss as well. The equalizer came in the stoppage time by the way. If Marseille were able to do more after scoring an early the final score could have been much different. But we watched an even worse Marseille in the second half.  

After the Montpellier draw this is another one against a middle-positioned team in the league. Marseille actually started to improve their form after a bad start to the season first. But now things are again getting out of control. They had better collect themselves quickly to prevent the gap with Champions League area from getting much bigger.

Marseille were very unlucky in this game despite how good they were when they scored the early goal and how bad they were when they didn't add another goal and by receiving the draw at the extra time of the second half of the match.
Strasbourg might controlled more the ball and attacked more Marseille but they weren't very successful before scoring their goal. Marseille in the other hand had fewer opportunities but they were more serious.
Regarding the other games, Marseille might lose at least one place in the ranking..

With Lyon's current journey, I think they have managed to recover from the downturn experienced at the start of the season, their confidence has now recovered, of course Lyon's current target is to improve the standings and stay away from the relegation zone.

Indeed, currently Lyon is actually really struggling to win the match so at least they can be completely safe from the relegation zone. Regardless of how their performance was at the start of the season, at least in the last 3 matches they were really able to be that optimal. And their performance is getting better. If it had been before, maybe we would have immediately thought that Le Havre would be the one who won. But right now, I think Lyon also has a chance to win. As long as they can be as optimal as yesterday, especially when they beat some of the top clubs who are better than them. This is Lyon's opportunity to move back up to the middle team. because if you look at the standing positions, when compared with other lower teams, currently, Lyon has the most impressive level of performance progress among them.

If Marseille were able to do more after scoring an early the final score could have been much different. But we watched an even worse Marseille in the second half.  

As I previously predicted, both teams will only get one point each because the match ended in a draw.
It's quite unfortunate that Marseille could only score one goal, and after that, it was quite difficult to create opportunities and because the reply goal to equalize was created in stoppage time, it was difficult for Marseille to score another goal in order to get 3 points.
Marseille are unbeaten in the last seven matches but unfortunately, three of them have only been draws which means they lost 6 points and two of the three draws came against Strasbourg this season, so they still need further improvement if they want to improve their position in the standings, because of their position it is very likely will be replaced again by Lillie, Lens or Reims, who have not played their match in Week 18.

Lyon can still catch the difference in points to at least reach the top 10 of the standings if they can show a better game. there is no need for a big win now, what they are focused on must be winning and 3 points. that's the most important thing for Lyon to stay away from the relegation zone.
I think Lyon is still very likely to stay in Ligue 1. But with Clermont and Lorient, it looks like they have no chance of getting out of the relegation zone.

The difference in points between the teams at the bottom of the standings is not that far. but we can see that the performance of the two teams you mentioned is not good. they will have difficulty catching up on the points difference. Lyon will have to fight to get past Metz and Nantes.
Lyon should have been in the middle of the standings, but they experienced several problems in the squad and their performance dropped drastically. Lyon has improved quite a bit, and their job is to keep their momentum steady. Maybe an injury to one or two players in the squad will affect the team's play. and Lyon hasn't been able to overcome that.

Lens have been doing a pretty good job in head-to-head home games against PSG so far. But with this number of missing players I don't know how strong they would be this time.    PSG are a little weaker in away games according to home ones this season.

However they are still doing great in away games statistically - 17 goals scored, 6 goals conceded. They stumbled on the Lille obstacle a month ago. But while Lens are deprived of so many players PSG can take advantage of it to get an easier win.

big match but actually it's not a big match anymore. because the lens this season is less competitive in appearance. until now the lens is only ranked 7th. but because the lens competes and plays at home I think the match will be interesting. after all, since many of its star players including neymar and messi left PSG's appearance has not been satisfactory even though in the French league it still leads at the top of the standings with a point difference with its second place 5 points away. but at the European level it almost did not qualify from the group phase of the champion league.

[klidex]

Ligue 1 is still always dominated by PSG and I think if there is another team that is in good condition and is able to beat PSG then that could be very interesting.
Aren't we all waiting for something new to happen for Ligue 1?

Last season Lens should have been able to break PSG's dominance, but unfortunately they failed due to a difference of one point and allowed PSG to win Ligue 1 again, but this season it seems that Lens is not doing better than last season, while this season other club competitors such as Nice also experienced defeats. twice in their five matches, bringing the gap to PSG to five points for now, it seems true that we don't see any other club playing better this season.

No one is really PSG's toughest challenger this season, it seems that PSG will go smoothly to win the title again this season, so they are not worried about the domestic league so they currently seem to be more focused on other championships such as the UCL, at least they can show their best game to advance to the UCL final even though it looks quite complicated, I believe PSG will win the Ligue 1 title again this season.  

Yes, last season Lens almost did it and only because of the difference of 1 point Lens failed to break PSG's dominance until finally PSG won the League 1 title again and it is true that this season Lens is not as good as last season which was able to challenge PSG at the top while this season Lens is struggling to climb up. to rank in the top 5, it seems difficult for Lens to put pressure on PSG again because the difference in points between the two is very large, namely 14 points. Meanwhile, Nice, which was initially thought to be able to compete with PSG for the title, has now started to show setbacks so that PSG is not under too much pressure this season to continue to be at the top.

Of course PSG will sit comfortably in first place because no club has been able to break them in the competition for the league 1 title, we all want change in league 1 but if there is no club that plays surprisingly and maintains its consistency until the end of the season then PSG will continue to dominate league 1 title. If PSG feels there is no tough competition in league 1 then the performance of PSG playing in the Champions League will not be optimal and I think it will be the same as before and difficulty reaching the final.

Marseille started the second half of the league with a draw. Marseille took the lead with Gigot in the third minute of the match, but could not find the second goal in the remaining time. The best part of the match was Strasbourg. Despite playing away, Marseille bombarded its goal with shots. One of the shots hit the post. Strasbourg scored the equalizing goal in extra time.
90+2. He brought the match to 1-1 with Sebas in the minute.
Jean Onana, transferred from Beşiktaş, played in Marseille for the first time.

Both teams entered the game with commendable past results. Strasbourg has not lost a Ligue One game in five games, while Marseille have not lost a match in seven league games. Gennaro Gattuso's side didn't perform well because Strasbourg was the better side and the couch will be disappointed. The host got the win but failed to step up the attack to get another goal that would have sealed the game. The visitors were not discouraged by the early goal but they kept attacking until the effort paid off in the extra time.

Gennaro Gattuso has not been doing badly since he took over the French side. They are currently in the fifth position which means they can go to the Europa League if they can sustain their performance. The club will play in the Europa playoff against Shakhtar Donetsk after ending the group stage in second position behind the English side Brighton. But the Ligue One still has a long way, so they can go to the Champions League if their step up the game.

Even though strassbourg was not owning the game but it has performed better against marseille. Marseille was only making two opportunities to score while strassbourg has made more than marseille. We can take a conclusion if the match is still performing so well for both of clubs.
Marseille was failed in maximizing its opportunity to get three points from strassborug. Strass has been trying so hard in defending against marseille but the first goal was making the club so panic.

Well done for strassbourg. This team has been doing pretty well and this is the key. The club needs to perform even better than before. 1 point still means a lot for strassbourhg consider it's still under perform after it has very good start at the early season.
marseille was not lucky enough in missing the chance to gather three points at the late game. This is also making the situation to be even worst than before. Marseille may be going down again after the draw against one of bad club

[bering]

Nantes will attempts to beat Clermont at their home ground tomorrow this because they want to improved their position on league standings and so far Nantes have already to gets 5 wins and 3 of them which comes from home matches so these records proven sometimes Nantes can performing well in the front of their fans and for this match Nantes was quite confident that they will gets the winning result from this match moreover Clermont is very weak and their position at the bottom of league standings with only collect 11 points

Based on meeting statistics i can see Nantes has good records from Clermont because in the last 5 meetings Nantes can collect 3 wins and 2 draw and about squad conditions Douglas Augusto will not be available today because he got suspension and for forward lines Nantes is facing unfavourable situations because they have to lost Mostafa Mohamed and Moses Simon but they still have Marcus Coco to played on that position however if Nantes playing with full team probably they will going to win this match but because they lost some players who defend their national team i think it will affect to their performance later so my prediction for this match is both team will playing draw and the odds for that option is @3.20
