French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Bobrox]

And finally Lyon managed to get out of the relegation zone! After experiencing very poor results at the start of the season, many predicted that Lyon would be relegated this season. But in the second half of the season they improved their quality little by little. I bet Lyon would get out of the relegation zone and my prediction was right. Lyon have quality and it's hard to think they will play in Ligue 2. Lyon won't be in the top 10 this season but I'm sure they will finish mid-table. A result that is good enough to improve their quality in the next season.

Two wins from the last three matches in Ligue 1 have slowly made Lyon successful in getting out of the relegation zone and currently have three point difference from the playoff relegation team. Its good started for Lyon success out of the relegation zone after has bad start in the early of Ligue 1 match, the victory against Montpellier make Lyon collected 22 points and make close to 10th standings position behind three points left only.

In the next match, Lyon must take advantage of the match as hosts when facing Nice and maintain their hopes of surviving in Ligue 1 next season, in domestic matches left Lyon still have to face top teams and as possibility secure three points against mediocre teams how to secure their standings position from relegation zone.

In the French Soccer League Nice vs Monaco in the match between the two teams, the Nice team did not play well. The Monaco team won the match today with 3 goals. D.  Zakaria played brilliantly from the beginning to the end of the game. He scored the first goal in the first 16 minutes of the game. The 2nd goal was scored in the 50th minute. A.  Golovin scored the 3rd goal in 77 minutes. G. Laborde of Nice team scored 1 goal in 37 minutes and E. Guessand scored 2nd goal in 74 minutes. However, in this match Dante of Nice team got red cards in 54 minutes.

Nice have been the second best team in the French Ligue 1 behind just Paris Saint Germaine since the start of the season and I was expecting them to conquer Monaco in their home league game yesterday but surprisingly, Monaco took all three points from the game leaving Nice to stay 11 points behind league leaders Paris Saint Germaine as well as limiting their chances of catching up with Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the current season.

Paris Saint Germaine who are focused on winning both the French league and the UEFA Champions League competition will be very happy with the result of that game tomorrow as it'll ease their pressure to win the league which now provides them the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League without the fear of fatigue since it'll be difficult for Nice to catch up with them again.

In the first few matches after the start of the season, psg did not show their best performance against the opponents due to which PSG ended the first few matches at the bottom of the points table. In the beginning, many people were not satisfied with such a bad performance of PSG, but after that, PSG managed to win the hearts of their fans in all the matches that PSG played. The next matches were PSG only because after the first few matches PSG won most of the matches PSG have played so far. So far PSG hold the top position in the points table, in addition to maintaining the top position in the points table, PSG has created a considerable point gap with the second placed team in the points table. The point gap between PSG and the second team in the points table will not be able to fill this gap so easily.

PSG won at home against Lille with 3 goals.PSG, which continues to defeat its rivals one by one, has again managed to take the league in its hands.PSG, which has 11 points difference from its closest rival, continues to be the champion without any problems.They have only 1 loss in 21 matches played in the league.Although Lille found an early goal, they could not maintain the superiority of this score.Yusuf Yazıcı, the player of our national team, managed to put Lille ahead, but if you are playing away against PSG, you will not have much chance of winning.
In another important match of the week, we watched Nice-Monaco. A possible 3 points for both teams on their way to the championship would have brought them one step closer to their rivals.Nice could not close the points gap with PSG by leaving this match without points.One of the biggest reasons for Nice's defeat in this match may be that they continued the match with 10 men with a red card at the beginning of the second half. Despite this, although they found the balance, they scored again 3 minutes later and we can say that the match was actually over from this minute.With this important away win, Monaco ended their 3-week winless streak and managed to reduce the point difference with their rival to 1.

Lyon is making constant advancement, and their next match is against NICE. Lyon manager Pierre Sarge is in supervision, and he is eager to provide the best results for his club. There is no going back since the greatest teams are powerful enough to handle any demand on their track. Olympique Lyon has emerged from the relegation zone and hopes to be among the top ten clubs in the Ligue One league this season. Remember, they began off on the wrong foot, and this has placed a significant burden on the board, manager, players, and, lastly, the team's supporters.

Even though Olympique Lyon has quite a heavy burden for the entire team as you mentioned, Lyon will still be determined to get to the top ten this season in order to be able to pay for the wrong steps at the start of this season. Because currently Lyon must always fight to win in any match no matter who they play against and Nice could also lose to Lyon if they are not consistent with their game this weekend. Because Lyon has also started to recover and become stronger when competing at home.

[Iranus]

Lyon must fight hard to avoid the relegation zone, because they are only 3 points different from Lorient, when they faced Montpellier yesterday, I doubt Lyon will win, fortunately Lacazette and Caqueret succeeded in scoring 1 goal each in the last minute of the match, this made Lyon further away from the relegation zone

I think Lyon's chance of winning the match against NICE next week is only 50%, however NICE is still a much better team than Lyon this season

The previous five matches showed a positive trend for Lyon and they managed to improve their ability to get full points. Successfully getting four wins is quite a positive result and if you can continue to perform consistently you can get out of the relegation zone. Lyon's task in the future is not easy because they have to get points from the matches that will be played so as not to return to the relegation zone. This is important because if you don't try harder, then being eliminated from Ligue 1 will not provide good results for a club of its class.

Facing Nice is not an easy thing because currently Nice is much more consistent and Lyon will definitely be under a lot of pressure because Nice is a top team at the moment. Lyon's advantage is that the match will take place at home so it can increase their motivation to play better and they must make good use of this match even though the match ends in a draw.

Lyon has been able to get three points from two matches back to back. And that has definitely taken them a little further away from the relegation zone. Right now if they can avoid losses, it is going to be good for them. I think they will not have to worry about the relegation zone if they can somehow get one point from the harder opponent and win the opponents that are relatively weaker. I hope they will be able to do that because if they find themselves in the relegation zone again, it will be hard for them to climb back up again. But the best case scenario is going to be them winning some more matches.

Beating Marseille in the previous Ligue 1 match and then, beating Lille in the Coupe de France and after that, winning away against Montpellier is definitely a very good result. Moreover, at the end of the first half of the season also at that time Lyon defeated Monaco and of course, that is a very good result for Lyon at this time . Because ya, with this success, Lyon managed to make a good gap with the relegation zone and great again, at this moment Lyon only has a 3-point gap with Strasbourg who is in 10th position . But even so, Lyon position is still not entirely save because after all, the points gap with the teams in the relegation zone is also still fairly close . So yes, Lyon still needs points in each match because if they fail, then Lyon still has the opportunity to down again.

[makishart]

I think that is the most realistic target that Lyon can achieve, after experiencing quite great ups and downs in performance this season. Lyon must try to be stable in the final third where competition will increase, and at a minimum Lyon must be able to secure 3 points when facing inconsistent clubs. That is the best way for Lyon to stay away from the red zone, the difference of 3 points from the degradation play off is not completely safe. Next week Lyon will face Nice, which I think will be a tough match for them. I think the best result they can achieve is a draw, but Lyon could beat PSG closest competitor because they will act as hosts. On paper Nice certainly has a higher chance of securing full points, because they are much more consistent than Lyon.

As long as it would not miss the consistency gained before the match against montpellier and i think that lyon can leave from the relegation zone and left its competitor behind. The won against montpellier was also strengthening the mentality from lyon. The next game is quite hard compared to the previous match.
The next game is quite hard and i think lyon has a chance to win against nice soon. Nice is still performing inconsistently. This makes everything looked like even harder for nice after it was lost in the previous game. As long as lyon can win against nice and it will be boosting the mentality from players.

We can say that Lyon found itself in the last matches. It was difficult to beat Montpellier, but all problems were solved in the last 15 minutes and Lyon continues with 3 points after winning away with 2 goals. Now their rankings are a little better and I believe that Lyon has the power to beat every opponent. Maybe they can even beat PSG. Right now Lyon believes and we see it in the match. They are struggling with their souls.

[jaberwock]

Even though football is full of surprises for me, it will be difficult for Lyon to beat Nice because yesterday they were able to beat Montpellier with only a narrow score and almost managed to draw, whereas currently Lyon has to face Nice, which is currently more consistent.
I think Lyon in the match against Nice doesn't need to be too ambitious to win or just try to consistently add points or end up in a draw is very good for me.

The thing about Lyon is that they may look bad right now, but recently they have been doing very well, so it could be a shock but I would not be really expecting them to just roll over neither. Lyon will try their best to keep it going, they got better and if they could get a win here then that would be awesome for them. They just recently managed to beat Marseille, it would be unfair to say that a team that managed to beat Marseille, would have no chance against Nice, those two are not too far apart if you ask me.

This doesn't mean that I "expect" Lyon to win, of course not, but I would not write them out neither and would wait for them to show the world if they are good enough or not, that would be a lot more important situation.

Lyon's games will remain very random with the inconsistency of this team in French Ligue 1 this season. Right now and thanks to the two successive victories they got, they managed to escape from the relegation zone with at least 3 points, yet it isn't very reassuring. They should try to get a wider gap to stay secure.
Next time against Nice should be a defeat normally but I see Odds of both teams close to each others or even an advantage of Lyon

Lyon have regained their lost enthusiasm along with their way of playing which was bad for some time this season so they were left behind and were in a bad zone. However, for now, Lyon still has a chance to get into the top ten if they can continue to win with quite a fantastic score in the upcoming matches for them in Ligue1. Apart from that, I also agree with what you said that Lyon could be able to beat PSG, who are currently quite strong at the top of the Ligue1 standings.

[QueenVera]

Yes, the chance are 50/50 and once again what is quite surprising is that Nice's condition, which is better than Lyon, does not make the betting market favor Nice to win easily over Lyon. If I'm not mistaken, this is the same condition when Lyon faced Marseille where the odds for both teams were the same. even though Marseille was better, and usually bookmakers have factors to measure this and it was proven that in the end Lyon managed to win even though with a narrow score.
Against Nice they will probably be able to repeat this success because teams that are not highly regarded will usually have a strong motivation to surprise, and in H2H it can be said to be balanced.
Lyon will face Nice's very tight defense, and that is the key to victory if Lyon can break through their opponent's defense and score a goal then Nice will have difficulty scoring goals because they are a team that can be said to be strong but not productive enough, but it is very possible that this will end in a draw and Lyon will continue to try to get points so they can get further away from the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Nice also still has to fight to stay in the top three because the competition is very tight with Monaco, Brest, Lillie and Lens to be able to play in the Champions League next season.

Marseille had a fair encounter over the weekend against Metz, both sides also managed to net in goals for themselves. Well the outcome of the game didn't necessarily influence their table standings but it was worthwhile. It's a confidence booster for both teams. Especially for Marseille. However they need to put in more effort and do better.

 They've got the Europa League encounter ahead of them and most definitely, they've got to try to act better than they've always done. They shouldn't trade chances and their opponent has for seasons past been reselient in their European quests. Let's just see how the next European cup games would turn out for all the advanced teams too. Even though it's much expected that Marseille will be the victor in the end, it's certain that it won't also be an easy stride for them too.

I just read the news that PSG are ready to leave Parc des Princes. This is because the French government did not hand over the state assets that PSG wanted to buy. Parc des Princes is considered a legacy. With the city's decision they will leave (it's unclear if they will rent or build a new stadium. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi sees this decision as actually slightly discriminating because PSG is currently majority controlled by Qatar.

PSG aimed to increase the number of spectator capacities by intending to renovate the stadium, and planned to buy the stadium from the city government, but the agreement did not materialize. It is very likely that PSG will build their own stadium, which can accommodate a larger number of spectators. Who knows, with the new stadium they could be even more successful in Europe, what is clear is that they won't be moving any time soon. As we know, the Parc des Princes has been PSG's headquarters for more than 50 years, they have achieved many successes there.

It is true that there is no certainty whatsoever regarding PSG new stadium, but PSG still has an agreement to stay at the Parc des Princes until 2043. I think the PSG president with the finances he has will choose to build a new stadium, their investment so far in the Parc des Princes in renovating it will walking in place. On the other hand, I don't think this will have a big impact on the performance of the PSG squad in the final third of the season.

Ligue One is tough afterall, these players should held unto the big tasks. Lyon has high hopes of winning games right away; now is not the time to unwind because they have a lot of work to complete. Lyon are finally attempting to escape the relegation zone this season, since rising from the bottom is a difficult build-up that requires consistent performance in all games. Lyon has fought with incredible commitment, which has proven very essential for the players. Every player that plays an important role for the team strives to achieve significant positions on the table.

[RaltcoinsB]

Because Lyon has also started to recover and become stronger when competing at home.

Nice is a strong team, but Lyon is also a strong team now. I see a high probability that this match will end in a draw. Olympique Lyon will now do whatever it takes to get to the top. They have to play their best because they were last after the first matches. We are now watching the Lyon matches that we are used to seeing.

Regarding Lyon and their next match, it doesn't really matter if they lose the game against Nice to make them stop because Nice is not a team to have a close race with PSG, and even if Lyon gets some points, which is weird to see, Nice won't get anything from this game.
However, based on the last games we saw from Lyon, I don't think if they can cause any problems for a team like Nice.

Nice is a strong team, but I think Lyon can put on a performance that will challenge them. They won against Monaco. Considering this, I wonder why they shouldn't do their best against Nice. Nice is a strong team, but Monaco was also strong. Nice is also edible. Even though it is very unlikely, Lyon's performance in the last matches gave me hope.

Nice is a stronger team than Lyon, but Lyon is trying its best to escape the relegation zone completely this srason that is why they are trying everything to win any match that come way. Since after they recover from their poor start, they have won so many matches including Lile and Marseille.

Statistically, they are supposed to lose this match due to form and their statistical records, but I am expecting Lyon to get a point in the match so as not to lose hope on leaving the relegation zone.

The French government does not want to sell the Parc des Princes because it considers it the country's heritage and we also know that currently PSG actually no longer belongs to France because most of its ownership is owned by Qatar. I think currently they are planning to build a new stadium. But it is not yet clear when the plan will be implemented. On the other hand, will this cause problems among fans because for those who have been PSG fans for a long time, of course the Parc des Princes has a lot of memories and history. But if PSG really had their own stadium, of course they would be able to rebuild a new history in a new stadium.
