French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

I can't understand why still people think Lyon's chance for winning this match is high and they can think about Lyon winning this match just because of the three games Lyon won recently while this team is still in the danger zone and they are even about to get relegated at the end of this season while Rennais had much better performance than Lyon and they are in the much better situation than Lyon but that's weird t see even the odds for Rennais is close to Lyon.

The fact that Lyon won three game recently is a confidence boost for them and looking at it form that light, you may definitely want to agree to the fact that they have better chances at winning this game because they will still be having that confidence in the fact that they will be able to win this fixture aswell just like they did with recent games.

The need to exit the relegation is enough drive for Lyon to strive to win this game because if they do they will definitely be  few points away from the relegation zone on the table which will means safety for them by the end of the season, the last time both team met rennais has won most of the time and in today's fixure it's sad how Lyon is loosing already as rennais is already three goals ahead which means they are winning todays game without much doubts.

18 matches have been played, but Lyon can only collect 16 points, what a disaster. Ligue 1 has 18 more matches left, if it doesn't improve immediately then Lyon will almost certainly be dropped from the Ligue 1.

Now in match 19 against Rennes, Lyon is in a losing position with a score of 0-3.
At least I hope Lyon can stay in Ligue 1 this season. In the remaining matches this season, Lyon must be able to get a minimum of 25 points to be positioned outside the relegation zone.
I am not a Lyon fan, but it is very unfortunate if a team as big as Lyon, which has a long history, has to play at a lower level.
Pierre Sage must be able to encourage Lyon players to perform at their best.

If Lyon's performance still does not change in today's match, I think it will be very impossible to get a draw even though the match takes place at Lyon's home ground. Because as you said, Rennes is currently in very good condition so it is very possible to win at home to Lyon in today's match. But on the one hand, I also really hope that Lyon will be able to surprise and make it difficult for Rennes to win easily in today's match so that Lyon can have the potential to save itself from the relegation zone.

Losing everyday is part of the game, atleast these clubs are able to bounce back and reclaimed the necessary points accumulated, perhapes not everyone have the strength to maintain good standards food. Every club have the opportunity to either win or lose, this is a choice and we should make sure we're on the good path. Rennes whipping Lyon 3-0 and there's still enough game time. I only see an average Lyon performance against their mates club, they have failed to meet up the standards and hope of their supporters.

Lyon is unrecognisable by their fans and rivals. They have a very bad record and they continue to play poorly. Taking 3 goals in the first half of the game against Rennes is beyond expectations.. Rennes aren't playing as good as they used to do in the previous seasons, yet they already scored three goals. They will be lucky if they avoid relegation this season.

Tomorrow, Nice should win against Metz but the most interesting match will be between Monaco (away) and Marseille (home). Odds are close with little advantage for the home team, yet I find Monaco better personally.

This season, Lyon's performance has been quite surprising and not in a good way. From the start, I never expected them to play so poorly. I thought they would fix their mistakes early on, but it's shocking that they haven't improved yet. It's been disappointing to see a team with such a big name struggle so much. Lyon needs to be very cautious because if they don't improve, there's a risk of them getting relegated. It's really sad to witness a club with a great reputation performing so poorly. Hopefully, Lyon can turn things around soon and start playing much better to avoid any further difficulties in the season. The fans must be feeling quite upset about the team's current state, and it's essential for Lyon to address their issues and get back to their usual strong form.

Lyon - Rennes tonight and I'm afraid Lyon has no other option than victory because if they make a draw , or even worse losing the game , their chances to actually avoid relegation goes down a lot. Also , Rennes is not an easy team to win against and that's why I expect a close game between them and with a bit of luck , both teams will score as I'm thinking to place a bet.  

Winning is a dead option for Olympique Lyon if they want to get out of the relegation zone, if they win this match, they will immediately jump to 12th place.

But is that possible? not that easy, Rennes have a good record recently and of course they come to add to their string of positive results. Rather than betting on the over, I think this match will end with (U) 2.5 goals. Apart from (U) 2.5 goals, I also prefer handicap betting and choose Lyon.

I was expecting strong win after having lost against Le Havre by big margin but after the end of the first half things are looking terrible, and they concede again three goals which mean now they have to score 4 goals if they want to come out of this dig out which is not easy because Rennes is doing impressive job in this match and now with this win they can extend their winning streak which will be three and chances are high for them to stay into better spot before end of this season.
Now as second half is in progress we are having 3–1 in favor of Rennes and need more improvement from the Lyon if they want to have better things in coming weeks.

But it seems that the previous week's defeat against Le Harve has stifled their momentum in today's match.
Rennes looks much better prepared than Lyon in this match although Lyon's possession and chances are quite good but their defence is weak and easily infiltrated by a quick counterattack by Rennes.
The score is currently 1-3 because Lyon managed to reduce the gap in the second half but by looking at the time remaining at this time it seems that it will be very difficult for Lyon to turn things around because even though they are in control, the Rennes defence is very good in this match and Lyon's rhythm is quite bad even though they are superior in possession.

Lyon is already 1-3 behind and the game has entered the 73th minute, I'm not sure they can turn things around and avoid defeat. In terms of the game, they were indeed able to dominate possession of the ball, but Rennes was already 2 goals ahead, of course they wanted to maintain their hopes of being able to steal points at Lyon home ground. Lyon in their last 3 matches they were able to win but in this match they were not able to play well in the first half.

Even so, there is still time for Lyon to reduce the gap and equalize. We see Sage starting to rotate players in the second half in order to support the performance of the front line to score goals. If we talk about relegation, I think Lyon can get out of the relegation zone this season because there are still many games left in this season.

He'll have to earn it, Yeah he's currently worth it but they want a good atmosphere for everyone right now playing for Real Madrid I love the strategy used by Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappe takes it or leave it, it's now his choice to make they have done more than enough to sign him up besides he shouldn't have said no and kept mute when they made approach to get him signed up.

He should go in and prove he's worth that amount, score 50+ goals and season for Real Madrid amd make sure they win the treble as well, is it too much of a difficult thing for him to do to earn his place.?!
Real Madrid are making good moves to assemble great players around European countries . ( Both Alphonso Davies and Alexander Arnold are both lined up to play for Real Madrid next season )

Real Madrid will be strong enough if they succeed in getting Mbappe's signature next season. Yes, in this season's transfer window an approach was made by Real Madrid to find a decision with Mbappe regarding their interest in signing Mbappe after his contract ends with PSG. I think the salary demands demanded by Mbappe are quite reasonable and Real Madrid really have to comply if they want to bring Mbappe to their squad. Mbappe is certainly needed by Real Madrid to fill the gap left by Benzema.

On the other hand, there are rumors that Real Madrid will let Vini go to recruit Mbappe. But I doubt that Real Madrid will let Vini go because so far Vini has appeared quite impressive with them. Apart from that, there is always drama in every time Real Madrid is associated with Mbappe. Mbappe will be a free transfer player at the end of this season so if Real Madrid don't immediately find an agreement with Mbappe, other teams will definitely be able to step over Real Madrid to get Mbappe.

Lyon vs Rennes

 The loses from Le Havre makes Lyon have to ended their winning streak and after break today they will attempt to beat Rennes and return to the winning ways but Rennes also in the good shape because they were unbeatable in the last 5 matches in all competitions and the latest is Rennes can able to eliminate Marseille at France Cup and in Ligue 1 Rennes has successfully to beat strong team Nice so Rennes recent performance is much better compared to them.

For squad update Enzo Le Fee will be doubtful to play but Benjamin Bourigeaud will be available today and this player was showing impressive performance in the last 2 matches with Rennes because he can scored 1 goal and make 1 assist and for Lyon Duje Caleta-Car will not be available in the squad because he got suspension and as usual Lyon still rely on Alexandre Lacazette for their front lines and according to the head to head statistics i can see both teams can beat each other but Lyon was successfully to improve their records from Rennes because they can win from Rennes 2 times streak and today too i think Lyon still able to resumes their good records from Rennes moreover as a host Lyon have more motivation to win and the odds for Lyon is @2.48

Lyon is gradually becoming a relegation team and I know for sure that they won't want that for themselves. Their recent games have been so poor on their side and it seems like there's a huge work to be done. They have over 20 games to go and they have to secure at least 40 points to be out of the relegation zone.
Hopefully, they'd be able to play well a bit, win some games and draw some and also avoid much losses too because every loss will affect their chance.

 Extra efforts and determination needs to be put to the team and they've got face the reality of the battle they've got at hand no laziness or backwardness should be entertained too. Their league is not so competitive and they normally themselves have the strength before now to compete. There's still high chance for them. Asides the 3 points being secured, the goal margin should be considered too as it plays it's own role in keeping a club at the top.

With the performance I see tonight it's most likely Lyon may just get relegated by the end of this season because more losses only means set back and more points away from been able to get out of the relegation but if they were able to win todays game or even get a draw they would have still hope to definitely get out of relegation even if it's just a point above.

Lyon doesn't seem like a team that has got the potential to loose and probably bounce back anytime soon to their form as they should since they are having in mind to exit the temporary relegation on the table. Rennes is now currently at the ninth position on the table with twenty five points having won three games consecutively in their last five game where they lost and drew one each, we expected Lyon tho have shown better performance after have three consecutive wins before this games so they should have had better confidence and a good mentality to winning.

Lyons returned with results that were not satisfactory at all, falling 2-3 to Rennes meaning that his ranking did not move into the safe zone. But I won't speculate too much if they will be degraded this season. After all, they still have at least 18 more matches to play until the end of this season. In this match, Lyon suffered defeat and even Rennes was able to score three goals in the first half. However, Lyon was slowly able to reduce their losses and this match ended with a score of 2-3. Even though they lost, it wasn't too bad because they were at least able to reduce the goal difference. It's true, this had no effect at all on the outcome of this match.

However, Rennes actually has a better performance compared to Lyon, in the last 5 matches in all competitions, Rennes has not lost. So it's natural that Rennes is able to maintain its consistency. Referring to the statistics of the match, basically the two teams were evenly matched from a technical perspective. It's just that because Lyon conceded in the middle of the first half, the intensity of their game was increased and they played quite aggressively. By controlling 63% ball possession, in the end Lyon was able to minimize their defeat.
Now the problem is, how Lyon must find ways and formulas to improve their performance and improve their defense or goalkeeper. The problem is, Lyon is the second team that has conceded the most goals besides Lorient. which means that if Lyon wants to avoid the relegation zone, they still have a chance to do so. After all, Lique 1 still has enough matches left to change. So, can Lyon do a good job in the next matches? if yes, they should be able to return to at least the safe zone.

It seems like Lyon's recent struggles might pose a serious threat to their standing in the league. ⁤⁤Every loss makes it increasingly difficult to climb out of the relegation zone, and the gap created by setbacks can be hard to overcome. ⁤⁤Confidence and mentality are indeed crucial factors, and the contrast between Lyon's recent three consecutive wins and their current form is surprising. ⁤⁤Rennes seems to be on an upward trajectory with a commendable position in the table and a string of positive results. ⁤

Lyon need to regroup stronger, analyze their recent performances, and identify areas for improvement. ⁤⁤They need a morale booster to stay maintaining good form, not just two or three wins to have setback again. ⁤⁤They might still have a chance to turn the season around with the right adjustments and a renewed focus. ⁤⁤Time is of the essence, and each upcoming game will be pivotal in determining their chance to stay in Ligue 1. ⁤

Lyon position in the standings has not improved enough even though they won the previous 3 matches, but in today match they lost again and their position is still in the relegation zone. They have to be consistent in every match to get points because that is the way for them to get out of the relegation zone. In today match, Lyon was defeated by Rennes at home, which of course was quite a heavy defeat for them because their winning streak was stopped again by Rennes.

Clermont can overtake Lyon if Clermont manages to get 3 points against Strasbourg in tomorrow match. Both teams are equally strong but Strasbourg has managed to perform better than Clermont this season. Clermont will have a match tomorrow at home and this is a good opportunity for them to improve their ranking. Competition is getting fiercer at the bottom of the standings because every team wants to fight with their best to get out of the relegation zone.

Lyon is attempting to overcome its struggles and stay away from the relegation zone. It is a fact that the opposition at the bottom is fiercer than any of the clubs ousting PSG. Lyon is seen as a club Benzema will play if all talks from major clubs end up without any deals agreed. Therefore, it is critical for Lyon to remain afloat and overcome their difficulties, which have placed them in the relegation zone. But I am certain for Lyon to remain in Ligue 1. Lorient, Nantes and Metz are in more terrible condition than Lyon.

In the match against Rennes, Lyon struggled to equalize but unfortunately conceding 3 goals in the first half made it difficult for them to get at least one point, but they tried at least that was what was seen when they managed to score two goals in the second half to equalize, and three Rennes' first-half goal further proved how weak Lyon's defense is and no improvement will only keep them in the bottom three.
Lyon will probably try to stay in their current position because there is a chance they can continue playing in Ligue 1 next season if they can win the relegation playoff, but unfortunately, Clermont and Lorient have points that are not much different from them so there might be changes in the bottom three because all the teams struggling to get out of the zone.
Marseille vs Monaco, not really sure whether the home factor will be very beneficial for Marseille by getting three points because even though they haven't lost in the last five matches and Monaco doesn't look too good in the last five matches, both teams can be said to have the same strength. so this will be a very balanced match but looking at Marseille's statistics at home where they have not been beaten in 9 matches then Monaco's biggest chance is to get 1 point in this tough away match.

Lyon must be able to rise from its downturn, being in the relegation zone for too long is a painful thing and their fans definitely really want this club to return to winning ways like before, because currently the condition of the fans must be very anxious to see Lyon's performance during this season because Lyon continues to experience defeats, Lyon will definitely make various efforts to achieve victory and secure their position to get out of the relegation zone, certainly no club wants to feel the relegation zone. Especially Lyon, which is an elite club in League 1, but currently its decline means it has to stay in relegation zone.

Playing at home should give Lyon more strength to win the match, they have to train and practice to improve their attacks and keep their defense balanced so Lyon can definitely get back to winning ways and be able to compete with other League 1 clubs.

If Mbappe and Real Madrid's argument is complete, Mbappe himself will be successful in this deal as well as Real Madrid. I don't understand why this deal has been hanging around for the last few seasons where both parties would benefit from this deal. If Mbappe was as serious as Real Madrid about this deal, the deal would have been completed long ago. Every time in the transfer window, Real Madrid offered Mbappe a contract and every season Mbappe returned his contract to Real Madrid, and Real Madrid again waited for Mbappe for the next season. Something like that happened in the last transfer window and Real Madrid are once again looking forward to the next transfer window. If the transfer market opens again, Real Madrid will likely send Mbappe a contract offer again, but this season, the French star is expected to agree to the deal and complete his contract with Real Madrid.

After having the worst start of this season their recent three wins give some good hopes but now suddenly again the lost two matches and in both matches they conceded 3 goals each which are surely going to be troubling time for them because now we are in 19th round and their performance level is still not compatible for having anything positive if they fail to bring better results then surely we can expect them into relegation zone until end of this season which could be disastrous for them and their fans as well now in coming round they are going to host Marseille which is also having very good form, and they can bring them down as well.

Against Rennes, they concede three goals in first half and then try to fight back into second half, but sadly they were not able to fight back as Rennes were better team and having good defense as well after scoring three goals in first half so they have done good job and having good end of this match with three points.

Lorient, Nantes and Metz are in more terrible condition than Lyon.

However, the defeat that Lyon experienced again at home in the match against Rennes has made Lyon put Lyon in a quite sacred position again. Because Clermont is only two points behind Lyon at the bottom of the rankings and Metz can distance themselves from Lyon if they can win today's match at home to Nice. Although it is unlikely that this could happen because Nice is the second best team after PSG in Ligue 1, so it is clear that the competition at the bottom is starting to be much fiercer than at the top, which is completely controlled by PSG.
