French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[tusandii]

I can't believe the performance of Olympic Lyon this season. the former French league champion 7x in a row must be in the relegation zone. and in his last match playing at home only against Rennes also lost. and conceded 3 goals first in the first half. very bad things both the club management, coaches and players are not able to collaborate well. so that it can be in the relegation zone.

Yes, it is very sad to see Lyon in poor performance, but you have to know that you cannot compare Lyon in the past with Lyon today because at that time Lyon had a great coach like Michel Aulas who was able to manage the Lyon club so well that it was able to achieve success. consecutive titles as you said, but in the future or this season, Lyon has a bad coach who currently cannot manage it well and does not even have the right strategy to improve Lyon's performance.
The new coach should be able to look at the past and try to carry out the same strategy as when Michel Aulas served as Lyon coach.
If the new coach can get inspiration from Michel Aulas I'm sure Lyon will not decline.
I had already predicted the defeat against Rennes, even though Lyon was favored by the bookies, but I still believed that Rennes could win because Lyon was not yet stable.

Nice won Mets today by a goal and helped them reduce the gap between PSG and Nice on the table, currently it's just a five points difference between both top teams and by two win Nice can be able to displace PSG that's only if PSG losses or draw their next two matches aswell but that's not looking possible as PSG is tough than most teams in the Ligue 1.

Nice dominated against Mets all through the game, and we're able to secure their win, Metz is just a point away from relegation, it's actually a goal because they have Lyon at the same points with them but have more his than Lyon and that's why Lyon is at the top of the relegation teams which is immediately topped by Metz. Nice have always been a better side when meeting against Metz as metz hasn't won Nice in a very long time. Metz may need to improve in their next fixtures if not they are very much at risk of relegation.

An interesting match is underway, bringing together two tough teams, namely Marseille and Monaco, the temporary score is 1-0 for Monaco win, it looks like they can confirm their position to be stronger in the top four of the Ligue 1 standings. Wissam Ben Yedder managed to score a quick goal in the 7th minute, I think it really affects the mentality of the Marseille players, there is a possibility that Monaco will win this match.

However, this match is still very long, because it has only been running for about 20 minutes, there is plenty of time for Marseille to turn the situation into a draw, and force Monaco to share the points. We'll see how this match ends, but it is very likely that Marseille move to get closer to the top five in the standings will have to be delayed, Monaco managed to appear aggressive and has not shown any signs of relaxing its attack.

That's football, where the conditions of the teams are not always the same in every season, so no one needs to be surprised by the changes that occur in all the teams in Ligue1. Termsuk on the Lyon team which previously looked very good, but this season everyone has seen Lyon where they are and are even struggling to stay in Ligue1 next season. However, Lyon still has a chance to stay away from the relegation circle because Metz also lost today's match at home to Nice, so Metz's points do not increase.

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.

Rennes at the beginning of the season up until few last league games, they've been trying hard to survive the heated French league teams and they've found every means possible to stand out in their trials. This season they've really tried in maintaining a good position, even if it's not in the top 4 or 6, but atleast they're closer to the top than the relegation zone. I'm pretty sure they'll remain in the Ligue 1 next season.

 Yesterday, they gracefully won Lyon away from home with a goal margin which was still much needed as the host side tried to keep up with the tempo and netted to them 2goals too. All the same, it's an extra boost ahead of their subsequent encounters in the league games and one would expect that the tempo would be high. They'll be facing montpellier who are below them in the standings, hopefully it would boost them to get another victory.

How time flies, the outstanding Lyon football club have decline in performance, their performance is basedly classified as mediocre when compared to elite teams that are doing brilliantly good. Lyon have a long way to go if they still want to secure a spot on the table. How come Lyon found themselves in this position, where they're fighting to stay put on the table? It's really out of shape to see a top club like Lyon fighting to escape relegation this season, meanwhile they're suppose to be fighting for the top four or better competing with Paris Saint-Germain for the Ligue One title.

[Godday]

I really don't like this condition, Lyon is playing like a promoted team from Ligue 2, even though apart from having a good composition of players, they are also playing away from home. But that is still not enough to improve their performance. The final result is Olympique Lyon 2 - 3 Rennes, and this result will make Lyon's position even more dangerous in the Ligue 1 standings.

The next match in Ligue 1 is Nice - Metz, what do you think about this match? Will this be an easy match considering that Nice is a top team that wants to continue to overshadow PSG in first place?

I was really surprised by the result of that match. They lost 0-3 in the first half and were only able to score 2 goals in the second half. I think Lyon will win that match because they are a strong team and have a long history in Ligue 1. I think Lyon will correct their mistakes after being on 3 wins a few weeks ago. Lyon are in a very difficult position and I'm starting to wonder if Lyon will be in the relegation zone at the end of the season?

Their consistent efforts to secure a decent position in the league, especially by maintaining a distance from the relegation zone, implies their resilience and determination. The recent away victory against Lyon, even with the host side scoring two goals, showcases Rennes' ability to face tough challenges and come out on top. Such wins undoubtedly provide a significant confidence boost for the team, and the momentum gained from victories like these can be crucial for the upcoming encounters.

With Montpellier on the horizon, Rennes has an opportunity to build on their recent success and secure another important victory. The positive momentum from the Lyon match could potentially carry them forward and contribute to a strong finish in the league. It's something important for a team to defy expectations and showcase their strength in competitive leagues. I think Rennes will continue their impressive run and maintains their position in Ligue 1 for the upcoming season.

Rennes has indeed achieved consecutive wins in its last few matches so it is natural that it is still quite confident in maintaining its winning consistency, especially since it is playing against a club that is currently in bad condition so this is not a big challenge. Lyon are basically not in good condition, they started to experience consecutive defeats again like at the start of this season and they failed to get out of the relegation zone because they couldn't win when they had the advantage of playing at home.

I think Rennes will win again against Montpellier because they are high in confidence after winning the match against Lyon. Montpellier is also in an unstable condition, they have just suffered a defeat and in the last 5 matches they have only won 1 win, so if Rennes wants to continue to improve their position, they have to win this match.

Paris Saint-Germain are topping the Ligue One table but not with good gap because their top rival for the title, Nice is just sitting around the corner and they will ensure they make good use of any slacking chances created by PSG on the table. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique is not here to play or jeopardize his chances of winning the Ligue One title, rather he's concentrated on the title, he's doing everything within his reach to ensure he keeps winning streak records in Ligue One matchs, which we all know it's not going to be easy for him but he have to do his best.

The difference is five points from Nice who just won narrowly against Metz and that is quite a significant victory because they can maintain their position in the champions league for next season but PSG has not played their match against Brest which will be held today with PSG's opportunity to get three points quite big because Brest, who is in third place in the standings, has only been able to hold a draw in 1 of their many meetings with PSG, so PSG will maximize this so that they can increase the gap with Nice and ensure the title more quickly and if they succeed in qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League, they will can concentrate on the tighter competition.
The Marseille vs Monaco match looked quite tough with two red cards that Monaco players had to receive and this result was as I previously predicted and for Marseille, this was quite detrimental because they could not maximize their ability to score more goals even though their opponents played with fewer players. Only two were goals from nine shots on target and for Monaco, this was quite good because they could get a point even if only one from this quite tough match.

Currently PSG is 5 points ahead of Nice who is in second place, but I don't think there is a team that can challenge PSG strongly in the race for the Ligue One title because we can see that Nice does not have the quality compared to PSG and no other team either. which is equivalent in quality to PSG.
I have no doubts that PSG can defend the title this season, especially since Luis Enrique has built the PSG squad so far and continues to be on a positive path. In fact, the main target for the PSG team is to win European competitions, and that is a little difficult.

Five points doesn't sound too bad but it is actually five points plus a game that they are behind. It is one of the tougher games for PSG though as Stade Brest is ranked third, they won their last four Ligue 1 games and they haven't lost a game in quite a while. It is still a game at home for PSG though, but I have some hope that it won't be an easy game for PSG as Stade Brest has a pretty solid defense. A win for PSG would be bad to be honest as that would make it an 8 points gap between them and Nice and a 12 points gap between them and Stade Brest. In my opinion the season would be quite over by then.

Another defeat for Lyon and another miss chance for them to actually leave the relegation zone. Now , they are 16th on Ligue 1 and now I'm convinced they will relegate and start fresh from Ligue 2.

Meanwhile , Brest , a team who was fighting relegation last year , they are now 3rd and with great chances to actually catch UCL spot ...which will be great for the club but not great for french football because once again this championship is super unbalanced between teams.

Don't be too proud of Luis Enrique because he just continued everything that had been previously planned by Galtier and of course PSG will be guaranteed to get the league 1 title because they still have their flagship player Mbappe, so what if PSG loses Mbappe, will they still be worthy of leading league 1?
It's unfair if we compare PSG with Nice because these two clubs have different achievements in terms of the quality of the players are very different and their success is also very different and for me Nice is just a lucky club.
We'll see how long Nice can survive while Brest is currently in a strong state, trying to consistently add points in every match and we will be ready for a surprise Nice will be moved to 3rd place.
Today there will be a PSG match against Brest and I predict that PSG will win by a narrow score or end in a draw.

[rendravolt]

The match between Reims vs Nantes is underway and I think it will be another win for Reims at home. The reason is that in the last 3 meetings, Reims has always been able to dominate with a win against Nantes and of course Reims also wants to maintain their winning record at home over their opponents. Maybe Reims won't win by a big margin and this will be more of a narrow victory for Reims later.

On the other hand, Nantes is still stuck at the bottom of the table with a series of defeats 4 of the last 5 matches. Obviously that explains how bad Nantes' performance is and I don't think they have the slightest chance of winning at home to Reims. But if Nantes can steal a draw in this match, at least it can increase their points tally in the standings, but it is quite detrimental for Reims, who now wants to displace Lille in 5th position.

It is true that Nice are waiting behind them, but they have played 1 match too much. PSG currently has 43 points, while Nice has 38 points. If PSG completes its missing match and wins, the point difference between them will increase to 8. This is not a score difference that can be easily caught. To be honest, I cannot think of any team other than PSG as the favorite for League 1 this year. They are the only team that will become champions. I'm sure Luis Enrique will lift the cup this year.

Brest also has a very good winning streak, they are in third place, although Monaco will most likely be able to move them up when they finish the missed match. As for the match with PSG, no matter how well they play now, against PSG they will have very little chance even for a draw. Enrique has returned the old confidence to the team, and it is now obvious that there is no competition for them in Ligue 1, this will be another year when PSG become champions without proper competition.

I once said that no team will prevent PSG from winning the league title this season. They are very strong in the league. But their real target is to win European competitions and I think fans no longer see the Ligue 1 trophy as an achievement that PSG is proud of. I mean they already get it every year and it seems completely normal. They are too strong in the league and I'm sure the fans feel the same way.

If PSG wins today, their advantage over Nice will be 8 points. Do you really think that Nice is somewhere nearby and waiting for its chance? In fact, PSG could miss 3 games and still remain top (because Nice won't get 9 points out of 9).
Today PSG will play against Brest, formally the third team in Ligue 1, and I think it will be easy to see how dominant they are. I think the score will be something around 3-0. Bookmaker quotes are currently as follows:

1.36 - 4.90 - 7.45

Quite generous in my opinion.

PSG is a force unshakable right now in the Ligue 1. Even though  we're only halfway through the league, we can clearly see there's no competition to PSG. The second team in the table Nice is not only 5 points lower while playing one more game than PSG, but the goal difference they and any other team in Ligue 1 maintain is minute to what dominating gameplay PSG is displaying. The race is now for the 2nd and 3rd position to qualify for the champions league.
