French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ancafe]

In first half of this season, we have just 4 wins for the Lyon which is surely worst from them and now in second half from three games they have one win which is also not good and next few games are going to be not easy as well because they are going to face top teams in league with their last win against Marseille is surely on right time and must win game which will not create good booster for them which is needed and also needed more effort for the survived because now if they will be fail then surely they could be gone down and things could be also from bad to worse for them.

Marseille is also having troubling season, and currently they are at 8th with their last win was in December if they are not going to bring improvement then surely we will have no chance for them to jump into top four because now things are going to be tough with top three teams are giving better performance and creating good difference of points from other sides.

Lyon experienced problems at the start of the season and they had difficulty playing consistently to get full points, so that in the course of the competition they lost more and more points and put them at the bottom of the standings. Now they have only collected 19 points and are one level above the relegation zone so they need to make changes if they want to move away from that zone again. The next three matches will be much more difficult and they must try not to lose full points because at least being able to achieve a draw is more than enough, so that they can slowly get out of the relegation zone from the competitors below them.

Marseille are slightly better because they are in the middle of the standings, but the problem is that if they want to compete for tickets to the Champions League or European league, they have to evaluate their team. But if they hope to qualify for the Champions League, I'm sure it will be very difficult and they will even have difficulty getting tickets to the Europa League.

This is just another fluctuating performance from Lyon, they could have beaten their opponent but in the next match they lost, as previously proven Lyon had just experienced two consecutive defeats and being able to beat Marseille was quite an encouraging result but that is not proof that Lyon will continue to perform well.

Lyon will face Lillie in the 16th round of the French Cup, and although Lillie is better in Ligue 1 than Lyon, they don't have convincing odds as the favorite team to win so Lyon is predicted to be able to provide tough resistance in this match and maybe they can surprise and beat Lillie

Let's start with the fact that for Loin the priority will now be Ligue 1, since they need to do everything possible to stay here, and cup matches will most likely become a secondary task for them, especially since this is only the 1/8 finals and objectively Lille is now significantly stronger than Lyon. It is also quite possible that Lyon will not be able to return to the top, and for some time will be in the middle in Ligue 1, in any case, they need to stay in Ligue 1 at any cost.

The Coupe de France is certainly not a competition that Lyon will prioritize despite their current poor performance and again they must prioritize Ligue 1 so that next season they can still be in the highest French league competition. It looks like today's match against Lille in the Coupe de France Lyon will be more backward without having to provide balanced resistance and they will definitely use some of their second tier players.

We know that they just won the derby against Marseille last week and it is unlikely that they will use the same squad in the Coupe de France competition and they will save the strength of their main players for the next match against Montpellier. This competition is not very important for Lyon and if they still want to move further away from the relegation zone then they should focus on the Ligue 1 matches.

After gets draw result from Nice then Brest still able to managed their unbeated records because since November last year Brest has through an 11 matches total in all competitions without loses so these records is proven Brest has been change became an strong team in Ligue 1 and today they will fight against PSG at Coupe De France or France cup for round of 16 and both teams has been met recently and they have to playing draw 2-2 so lets see Brest can surprised us and beat PSG today or Brest will tasted their first loses since November

After this match next week in Ligue 1 Brest will gets easy opponent Clermont and at the beginning of league both teams has been met at that time Brest can able to beat Clermont with big scores 3-0 and i think the result of this match will not so different because since that loses Clermont still unable to bounce back which make Clermont position currently at the bottom of league standings however about this match i think it's not necessary to analysis more because obviously Brest is much better than Clermont so i am sure Brest will be able to resumes their winning streak from Clermont and recently i have checked the odds for Brest and they have good odds @2.08

[Weawant]

Lyon are slowly starting to find something they have been missing in recent times, and they can beat Marseille this time. They also played well, so this result is a well-deserved result. Getting 3 wins in the last 4 matches for me is something that is quite good for Lyon, because previously they were very difficult to get a victory.
If they can maintain and improve their performance like this, I am very sure they will be in a beter position than now. But with a note they must continue to improve.

Beating Marseille is a good achievement for Lyon at this point especially as it was a major lift for them out of relegation. in their last five games, Lyon won three games and lost only two which could be seen as an impressive attempt and could say they are beginning to pick some form as compared to their form earlier this season.

I was really thinking Marseille would win that games but then Marseille seem not to have had good record in recent times, so it could be that they are not in a very good form too because they in their last five matches have won only one match and had lost one while they drew the others which invariable mean they are just an average team or probably they have been on an average performance recently so it was almost normal to have lost to such a team that should be considered some how weak in their league this season.

The Lyon team will continue to make improvements so that they can continue to win and can still enjoy Ligue1 next season in a more different atmosphere. Because last season Lyon started the season very well which of course they can still revive this season even though it seems too late to reach the top of the standings. But just being able to stay in Ligue 1 for next season is good enough for Lyon even though Lyon still has to try to win in the remaining matches this season.

I do not think so. With their current performance, Lyon will only be able to be in the middle of the standings. Lyon has performed very poorly in the league this season. They have no chance of returning to the top. And as you said in Lyon's current position I think they will prioritize Ligue 1 over the French Cup. I think the match against Montpellier is more important for them because currently they are only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone.

Lyon's main task at this moment is only to maintain its position in Ligue 1 and in this way, at least there is no big target for Lyon to move up to the middle of the standings because ya, if that happet at least will only make the pressure even more difficult. Therefore,considering Lyon quality at this moment, ofcourse Lyon still has a very big chance of avoiding the relegation zone . But indeed, if for example Lyon succeeds in continuing to improve and get better quality performance, then of course Lyon will have better results for the next matches in the remainder of this season. But ya, the point is that Lyon will not be relegated because Lyon has succeeded in making improvements to be better.

There is a piece of good news for PSG and it seems their player is finally getting back in the good form. Ousmane Dembélé was mostly injured and not in the good form since he joined PSG and even during the time then he was playing for Barcelona. If Ousmane Dembélé continues the good performance we saw from him during his recovery gets good progress, there's even the chance for Ousmane Dembélé to play for PSG against Brest.

My knowledge about Ousmane Dembele started when he was still at Borussia Dortmund and I can categorically say that he's one of the most talented footballers I've ever seen but his biggest problem as a footballer is that he's always suffering injuries and that has limited him from achieving everything he was supposed to achieve as a footballer.
I was happy to see him move to Paris Saint Germaine last summer and was optimistic he was gonna make great impacts at the club but unfortunately for him, he's been limited by injuries. Now that he's back to fitness, I hope he doesn't pick injury anytime soon

[Blitzboy]

Lyon totally dominated the game and it was the major problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Lyon's mentality has been boosting a lot caused by the club was winning the game. It looks so crazy to see how lyon was securing three points from marseille which is placing above it.

I don't know what's going on with Marseille which is supposed to be the second best team in Ligue 1 and they are struggling in the 8th position, far from European competitions spots.
Lyon played well but this wouldn't explain the defeat of Marseille. They have 3 draws before that defeat and they failed to stop this negative pattern.
Lyon will have tomorrow a game against Lille in French Cup, we will see if they woke up for real or just profited from the bad form of Marseille.

A squad we know can compete at the top is in 8th place, which is stunning. Their draw streak and latest loss are worrying. It'\s like watching Atletico Madrid in La Liga - a strong squad with weaknesses this season. It reminds us that any squad, regardless of history or talent, may stumble.

Lyon's match against Lille is essential, as you indicated. Lyon must prove they can maintain consistency and that their win over Marseille wasnt a fluke. Traditionally strong clubs are struggling this season, making it unexpected. It should teach Marseille not to underestimate opponents, a lesson they may be learning the hard way.

[X-ray]

This is just another fluctuating performance from Lyon, they could have beaten their opponent but in the next match they lost, as previously proven Lyon had just experienced two consecutive defeats and being able to beat Marseille was quite an encouraging result but that is not proof that Lyon will continue to perform well.

Lyon at very last has proven that if the club was able beating its opponent. This is also making the situation far better for lyon caused by it's slowly but surely moving up to stay away from the relegation zone. Im thinking about that lyon can still continue the positive trend like this.
That being said that if lyon will still able to perform even better than this. Marseille is still declining and it doesn't show a signal to climbing up again.

Lyon will face Lillie in the 16th round of the French Cup, and although Lillie is better in Ligue 1 than Lyon, they don't have convincing odds as the favorite team to win so Lyon is predicted to be able to provide tough resistance in this match and maybe they can surprise and beat Lillie

Lille may be a strong opponent for lyon. it seems like that if bookies are staring to convinced with the performance showed by lyon. As long as lyon will perform the same like the match against marseille and i think that lyon has quite big chance to win against lille.
Lille has significantly grown in strength in comparison to Lyon, and I believe that if Lille continues on this trajectory, they will be able to achieve great things.

Lens was a big exception last year and this year it is Nice, but what is it even that they are doing. They don't lose a lot of games, but they get more and more draws and PSG has an easy time to lead the table and wait for the other teams to make mistakes and allow PSG to extend their lead. It is not as if PSG would feel any pressure from the other teams because they are on a winning streak and PSG has to win their games in order to stay at the top. It doesn't matter if they lose some points from time to time, they will win the title eventually. But maybe next year a couple of things will change once Mbappe is gone. Although they still have the money to replace Mbappe with another good player.

Compared to last year, when Lens competed well in the French league, they are playing average this year. While PSG takes the lead alone with 47 points in 20 matches, Lens does not seem like a team that will challenge them this year. Even though they won against Nantes in the last match, they are still struggling to get into the top 3 places in the league.

It's not all about Lens we have issues with few other teams as well which were at the top but in this season we have decline into their performance with their quality is also not good enough to keep things at the top level as PSG is having enough resources for this with Monaco is also trying his best but their nature in inconsistent which is giving them problem, and they are having problems for keeping themselves at the top three spots.

In coming round, we are going to have two big games which will make things interesting at the top with most chances we will have PSG and Nice as winners but still remaining 14 rounds are going to be interesting because as we are currently watching league table we have PSG, Nice and Brest for the top spots but Monaco, Lille, Lens and Marseille can bring themselves near the top until end of this season because these teams having good potential for this even they are not good in this season.

Being able to avoid the relegation zone is also a good result for Lyon at the moment, especially if Lyon can recover and finish in the middle of the standings, it will clearly be a very good result for Lyon . But,regarding the two consecutive defeats experienced by Lyon previously,I still consider it a still good result . Because ya,at least Lyon was still able to provide good resistance in that match, because Lyon was also able to keep scoring goals even though the situation and condition of the team was not completely good.

Therefore, I believe that basically Lyon has experienced an improvement in performance at this moment and in fact, in the current match against Lille in the Coupe de France and up to the 60th minute now, in fact Lyon is still leading with a score of 2-1 and Lyon managed to take the lead first with a score of 2-0. Even though the match is not over yet but ya, at least Lyon has shown that Lyon is currently experiencing improvements for the better, of course.

Lyon experienced problems at the start of the season and they had difficulty playing consistently to get full points, so that in the course of the competition they lost more and more points and put them at the bottom of the standings. Now they have only collected 19 points and are one level above the relegation zone so they need to make changes if they want to move away from that zone again. The next three matches will be much more difficult and they must try not to lose full points because at least being able to achieve a draw is more than enough, so that they can slowly get out of the relegation zone from the competitors below them.

Marseille are slightly better because they are in the middle of the standings, but the problem is that if they want to compete for tickets to the Champions League or European league, they have to evaluate their team. But if they hope to qualify for the Champions League, I'm sure it will be very difficult and they will even have difficulty getting tickets to the Europa League.

I do believe that they will do better from now on, not only to fans but they also provided proof to themselves that they can beat anyone, meaning that they should be able to win these games and do fine, and I think that will definitely be important for them. Morale and confidence means a lot for a team and now that they have seen what they can do, I think they will do better for sure.

This should probably be something that will decide on what they are going to do, and for that to keep it going, I think it should very well be the most important part, I believe that they will stay in the league. Not like they can do much, not like they can go too high, but what they should only care about is staying in the league and it looks like they will do that.

Lyon is one of the legendary clubs in France but as they achieve few unwanted records in this season surely this is shameful but now after 20 rounds they are having 19 points and their performance is at the better level specially now after Marseille win things are going to be positive for them and most chances we will have them safe in next few rounds with now their task is just keeping themselves at the better level and then bring good results in next season because now it's time for them to stay at positive level instead of jumping for the higher level.

Mostly clubs are suffering due to lack of funds and bad management which is surely now big problem in many leagues, and we need to have checked and balance about this all because wrong decisions bring the worst things for the big clubs as well.

We were saying that Lyon's priority was to stay in the league, but they managed to advance in the cup by winning 2-1 against Lille. This victory will also increase their self-confidence. I think we can say that we are starting to leave the bad days behind for Lyon. Lille's victory showed that even if they are not in the top 6, they will try to push for the upper ranks in this period.

I do not think so. With their current performance, Lyon will only be able to be in the middle of the standings. Lyon has performed very poorly in the league this season. They have no chance of returning to the top. And as you said in Lyon's current position I think they will prioritize Ligue 1 over the French Cup. I think the match against Montpellier is more important for them because currently they are only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone.

I think they will attach importance to both tournaments. Of course, staying in the league is important, but they will also want to advance in the French Cup. They don't have a bad squad for League 1, but I still don't understand how they played such bad matches at the beginning of the league. Fortunately, they have risen significantly with consecutive wins. I think this will continue. I don't think they will have any problems staying in the league.

It is not as if PSG would feel any pressure from the other teams because they are on a winning streak and PSG has to win their games in order to stay at the top. It doesn't matter if they lose some points from time to time, they will win the title eventually. But maybe next year a couple of things will change once Mbappe is gone. Although they still have the money to replace Mbappe with another good player.

Lens had a perfect performance in the last season and they were racing with PSG until the last week but they couldn't have a good performance anymore in the games we saw from them and they were usually in the middle of the table while a team like Nive is currently in the good form which makes me remember everything about Lens, however, I think in the end even Nice can't reach or get close to PSG.

Saying that a performance was perfect is quite relative because if you take a team that nobody expects to reach the top 3 or the top 4 in a league and then the team reaches the 2nd position, is it a perfect performance? But this is not the standard by which teams should be measured in Ligue 1. The true standard is PSG. If they can compete with PSG and really threaten them to lose the title, then it is a perfect season. But the reality is that PSG could gear up their performance any time and it would be enough to win Ligue 1. It is not like that in the Champions League, but they can win Ligue 1 anytime they want.

There are big differences between squads in League 1. Paris SG has important players and has been the strongest team in League 1 for many years. We cannot see them losing the championship easily. Lille managed to do this once in the past, but I don't think they will have such a threat this year. They will win the league comfortably. I think what will really make them think will be the UCL matches.

Lyon's downfall this season has indeed given rise to endless debate because Lyon is a successful club in League 1 which was able to provide strong competition in the previous season but this season they have to fight in the relegation zone. This club looks quite weak for those who do not follow the struggle Lyon has always been considered a weak club in League 1, even though Lyon is not a weak club at first, they must immediately get up so they can recover and compete as usual and return to providing strong competition in League 1.

Yes, this season Lyon has quite a tough task, they have to get out of the relegation zone if they still want to be in league 1 because Lyon's current position is very unsafe. Lyon is ranked 15th out of 18 clubs. I hope Lyon victory against Marseille will be a good start for Lyon. in the next few matches and Lyon can still save themselves from the relegation zone, at least Lyon won't just give up just because they experiences a very drastic decline this season.

Lyon was gradually becoming a relegation team and we knew for sure that they didn't want that for themselves. Their recent games have been impressive on their side and it seems like there's a huge possibility to be out fully from the bottom zone. They have a couple of games to go and they have to secure at least a good number points to be out of the relegation zone completely even though they're trying better than a few weeks back already.

 Hopefully, they'd be able to play more well and 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 3points being secured, the goal margin should be considered too as it plays it's own role in keeping a club at the top.
