French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[tusandii]

This match is going to be one of the hardest games to predict because this time Brest got a better place in the table and they have got more than based on the previous results they had recently in the league but I think this time Lens can make them stop. Brest didn't lose any game in the last five matches they had and they won or had a draw while Lens couldn't get these results.
Maye this time there is a good opportunity for us to bet on Brest for this match because of the rates I can see
  

Betting on Lens or Brest winning seems like a big risk because both clubs have the same advantage, it's just that the bookie favors Lens just because they are the host.
Lens has an advantage from the past which looks very strong on several occasions beating Brest in several meetings even though Brest also got the same results but the bookies will give more importance to the past performance of these two clubs.
Meanwhile, Brest has the advantage that currently the club's performance is really very stable without wanting to lose and even trying to maintain its current position as runner up.
Betting on either Brest or Lens carries the risk of a draw but it would be better to bet on both clubs to score at odds @1.92
This option is less risky because Lens and Brest will definitely score because Brest wants to continue to get additional points.

[naira]

Meanwhile, Brest is in 2nd place, their performance is much more stable than the opponents they will face now, in fact they had 3 consecutive wins before this match. Brest has advantages apart from the visiting team's status, but even so, as I said before, they have the opportunity to make Lens have to suffer defeat in front of their own fans. However, it is possible that in this match both clubs will play equally well and the match will end in a draw. I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  

League 1 is only interesting when PSG is playing while the rest many of us ignore. I am sure that both Lens and Brest will be easy to bet on if you look at Lens performance which is currently quite declining. If you want to bet safely then we know we will drop to Brest at odds of 3.65 and Lens 2.14. It's quite good if you refer to the position table and based on the last 3 performances of the two, Lens is clearly not at an advantage.

[hyudien]

Before PSG dominating become the most winner in Ligue 1 there are has Lyon with their impressive performance and ever won six consecutives Ligue 1 trophy with their players Juninho. After PSG acquisition make Ligue 1 easily dominance by one club only and the most historical teams such as Lyon or Marseille get difficulty not only to pressure PSG for winning domestic league but also not easy for finishing on Champion League spot position.

Before PSG was acquired, competition in Ligue 1 was quite competitive even though Lyon had won several times in Ligue 1. But that still provided opportunities for other teams to become champions. Teams like Marseille, Lille and Monaco have become very competitive. Lyon doesn't really dominate the league with a very large comparison of strength and player quality. This is different from PSG where they have a squad that has a very different market price compared to other teams in Ligue 1.

Financial strength was one of the factors why in the end Paris Saint Germain became superior in Ligue 1, they had more freedom to do what they wanted and that cannot be denied as the reason why many teams in Ligue 1 were unable to follow what Paris Saint Germain did. One way to make Ligue 1 even more competitive is for someone who has a lot of money to acquire another team, or Paris Saint Germain goes bankrupt.
It feels quite monotonous when you see the competition taking place in Ligue 1, yes, that's because there is nothing to expect from other teams. Even if there is, they can only do it at the beginning and then everything returns to normal. This keeps repeating itself almost every season. Last season, for example, Lens were good at the start of the season, but then they also declined. This season, Nice was also good only at the start of the season, but after that they no longer showed any interesting competition. Now Paris Saint Germain is far ahead so there is very little chance of being caught.

Looking at the competition at the bottom of the table, there are three teams that have a difference of 3 points to be able to move above each other in the standings and these three teams have a good chance of avoiding the relegation zone if they don't give up this season. Montpellier, Metz and Clermont are the three teams and Montpellier is one of the teams most likely to escape the relegation zone starting this week. Montpellier's difference from Le Havre, Nantes and Lorient is only 1 to 2 points and an additional 3 points for Montpellier this week is enough to shift their position.

The competition at the bottom is far stricter compared to the upper. The lesser gap between any club makes the loser easily go down to the relegation zone. Montpellier can also leave the relegation zone as long as it is able to beat nice. Nantes can still have a chance to qualify for the french league next season.
Things are going even better for all of clubs nantes if it will able to win the next game. Montpellier and nantes will have strong clubs as their opponents. These bottom clubs will have strong opponents and it's very hard to predict whether they will able to pass it and get three points.

However, that also means that Montpellier's three competitors suffered defeats this week and speaking of Montpellier's opponents, the opening match this week will be against Nice. Actually Nice is not in a good condition and they look very bad with no wins in the last 5 matches. Montpellier must make good use of this situation to steal 3 points in the away match and at least they will continue to make Nice even more frustrated if they lose again.

Nice is strong, and I doubt Montpellier will be able to win against Nice. Even though Nice still had a bad performance, we should also be concerned about the quality of the game. Nice may able to get three points from the upcoming match.
It was performing so badly in the last 5 matches but quality of squad can make differ for the result against montpellier. Montpellier was not team. Im still picking nice for this match even though it has horrible performance in the last 5 games.

[Velvet78]

Nice just couldn't get a single win in the league for five weeks.    Three of them are losses. They immediately need to improve their form somehow. The Montpellier game can be seen as an opportunity to put an end to this bad streak but I still have doubts though. Because Nice couldn't even win a home game against Clermont recently. This should also explain their current condition.

Nice have literally scored less number of goals than the number of games they have played so far (23 goals in 24 games). If the statistics doesn't change positively for them I think they might not even qualify for any tournament.    I hope Nice manage to win today.

Yes, at this time besides PSG, of course, Brest is the closest team to get another ticket to the Champions League this season with Monaco, currently both are competing to be the best and certainly to keep their chances from the pursuit of Lille and Nice who are below, at the end of the season all possibilities can happen depending on the performance of each team at this time that they must be able to maintain,  The current 1st and 2nd positions are actually still very unsafe for Brest and Monaco, because Lille and Nice can still get the last two Champions League tickets because they have a small points difference at the moment with Monaco and Brest, so that is why everything will likely depend on how well teams like Brest and Monaco maintain their performance until the end of the season.

But despite all that, let's try to suppose if Brest and Monaco get tickets to the Champions League later: for Monaco maybe I will not doubt their capacity to play in the Champions League because so far although they often fail in the Champions League but at least they have better experience playing in the Europa League, while Brest,  honestly maybe they look strong in the league this season, but it seems that for the Champions League it is clear they will be a barn of goals for other teams, besides, I am not sure if brest can bring in new players later to support their performance in the Champions League.

I mean Brest, Monaco and PSG will go to UCL next season, I am pretty sure of that three. However, I really do not think that Brest will be able to do all that great, it is not going to be all that simple. We are going to end up with something much worse, we are going to end up with something that will not take that much time. I feel like it is going to be hard for them to do anything at UCL because they are not a big club, and not really have a team culture that is too used to it.

There are much smaller teams, from nations that are smaller, but constantly goes there, which can do much better. We should consider Brest to be just a team who had one good year, but not sure if they could have that next season to be fair.

I understand what you are saying because it seems that you are trying to compare Brest maybe with Ludogorets, Astana, Bate or Maribor at the moment, if we look between Brest the four teams I mentioned are the leading teams in their respective leagues and even they have qualified for the Champions League several times even though they only reached the round of 16,  While Brest, who the previous season was a team that was often near the relegation zone in Ligue 1, it seems only lucky for them this season to be ranked second because of the inconsistent performances of their rivals in Ligue 1.

Just like you, I also feel that it will be difficult for Brest to be able to surprise if they later qualify for the Champions League because they are not a team that has strong finances in the league, besides that maybe we will no longer see Brest break into the top 10 next season, but even so we should appreciate Brest current achievements that are unexpected and this week match should be an exciting match between Brest and the same Lens Sama are securing their position and chances to play in Europa League competition next season.

[rendravolt]

Lens will host a club that is ranked 2nd in the standings this week, namely Brest. Lens are still having quite a hard time maintaining their stability this season, repeatedly they have had results that are not at all satisfactory. Now they are in 6th place in the standings with 39 points, from 11 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from the 24 matches they have played this season. With this situation, I think Brest still has a big chance to win even though their status is the visiting team.

Meanwhile, Brest is in 2nd place, their performance is much more stable than the opponents they will face now, in fact they had 3 consecutive wins before this match. Brest has advantages apart from the visiting team's status, but even so, as I said before, they have the opportunity to make Lens have to suffer defeat in front of their own fans. However, it is possible that in this match both clubs will play equally well and the match will end in a draw. I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  

Indirectly, Brest will face a team that finished in second place last season and for both teams this is a match that must be won. Indeed, from all the match result statistics that you mentioned, Lens is not very consistent, but this time it is clear that they want to secure victory at home. Being the host is mandatory for any team in order to maintain a winning record at home.

It could be said that Brest has everything to be able to continue the winning trend and at the same time be able to reduce their gap from PSG, but this time it looks like the result will be different and the victory they want could be stopped when they visit Lens headquarters. I know different positions put teams at different levels but this time I'm sure Lens can secure the 3 points. Actually, this match is not that big if you bet on the BTTS (Yes) option or the result of over 2.5 goals because what is clear is that both teams will attack each other and will score goals against each other. But if you bet on one team it is very risky.

Of course, until now there is no team in Ligue that can break PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. They are really a very strong team and also have very large finances. I think they will be able to dominate the league for the next few seasons unless another team is also acquired by a super rich company from the Middle East.

You are not completely right, Lille once broke PSG's dominance in the 2020-2021 season where at that time Lille managed to win the title with a 1 point gap over PSG. Monaco also did this in the 2016-2017 season, but as a team that has good squad depth, PSG tends to be more able to gain dominance again in a different season.

PSG have defended their title in the last two seasons and this season they are also very likely to be able to defend their title again considering that none of the teams in Ligue 1 are able to compete closely with them. The league is still ongoing and of course it will still be different, but considering that PSG has a high points gap compared to other competitors, it is likely that PSG will defend its title for 3 consecutive seasons.

And it was also noted that after Lille and Monaco succeeded in breaking PSG's dominance, although in my opinion their subsequent performance was not good, Lille in the following season only finished 10th in the standings and PSG became champions with a difference of 15 points from the team below them, Monaco could be better than Lille when They managed to win because they were still trying to break PSG's dominance but failed and had to settle for second place with a difference of 13 points from PSG who managed to take back the Ligue 1 trophy.

Last season Lens managed to stick closely to PSG but they had to be satisfied with only being in second place with a difference of one point, but this season PSG will be champions with a large point difference, maybe not more than 10 points but it is also impossible to only be 1 or 2 points different from the team ranked second, so again we will see PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 because their competitors are not strong enough to provide tough resistance to make competition in this league more interesting, whether for next season because without Kylian Mbappe PSG may need adaptations that will affect their performance them later at the start of season.

will not be surprised by the bad things that have happened over the last 5 weeks because it is too early for Nice to be able to win the league 1 title or runner up position because in the history of this decade the best position is only in third place and this is the reason why Nice will often lose in the end points in several upcoming matches.
from some history it looks like Nice will end up in 5th or 6th place if they can still be a little consistent, but getting back to 3rd place look like it will be very difficult on the one hand Lille, Brest and Monaco are much stronger in performance than Nice.

and in today match Nice should have more advantages because competing at home means their confidence in getting a win is much greater, whereas Montpellier has a very bad performance without having any strength so Nice should try to secure 3 points.
TBH, I have doubts about Nice performance today and would prefer to avoid betting on unstable teams because my worries are about a draw.

[QueenVera]

The match between Lens versus Brest is a competition to secure tickets to the Champions League next season. On paper, Brest deserves to be superior because their statistics are slightly better at the moment. It is true that there is a possibility that this match will end in a draw, because Lens is lucky in terms of acting as host. Lens has the ambition to penetrate the Champions League zone, which is currently three points away, and it is not an easy job to secure full points when facing Brest. Betting on this match really requires consideration, because the strengths of the two teams are not much different.

On the other hand, the competition for the Champions League zone in Ligue 1 is likely to continue to be tight until the end of the season, while PSG will not be under significant pressure to lead the standings in the future. Brest, Monaco, Lille, Nice and Lens will pressure each other to secure Champions League tickets, and Marseille also seems to have a chance to enliven the competition. The Lens versus Brest match is one of the most interesting matches in week 25, considering the background of ambition and the impact that would arise if points were lost.

The season is coming to an end and now every team is under pressure especially in the major leagues to secure spot an the UCL which is Europe’s elite competition. Now we see the top 6 teams all struggling and pressured to go to the UCL. This is so as to secure major signings to the clubs especially as most players now make UCL football a priority before making a move to a particular club. This kind of pressure can either make the team succeed or make them fall off easily and lose points.

 This pressure and competition is also seen in the Ligue 1 which we consider a farmer’s league because at the moment we all know the winner for the leg and it’s obviously PSG who aren’t under any pressure as compared to the EPL whom the league winner spot is under serious and fierce competition. In the Ligue 1 the main focus is for the 2nd and 3rd spot who are getting the ICL Ticket. This weekend we’ll be having Lens who are currently in 6th place taking on an informed Breat side who’re sitting pretty comfortably in 2nd spot. This match will have all the excitements as Lens who have been on and off on form will be hosting a Brest side who are on a good run.

 The going away could be Brest challenge in this match as I think Brest are so good but could be challenged by Lens at home form. For this reason if I’m to place a bet on this match, I’ll be double chancing on Brest because they’re a better team than Lens at the moment. I think this match won’t be the end of the race for UCL spot as we’ve still got Monaco and Nice who are great teams and they’re just few points away from Brest at the moment. The pressure could also result in Brest dropping points so the race is still on and very fierce.

League 1 is only interesting when PSG is playing while the rest many of us ignore. I am sure that both Lens and Brest will be easy to bet on if you look at Lens performance which is currently quite declining. If you want to bet safely then we know we will drop to Brest at odds of 3.65 and Lens 2.14. It's quite good if you refer to the position table and based on the last 3 performances of the two, Lens is clearly not at an advantage.

This is actually a fact especially if you are used to watching elite leagues where you gat so much drive from the whole frenzy the game brings, then you are definitely going to find it really boring watching two average Ligue 1 teams playing, I hardly watch others play in the Ligue 1 except it be for PSG and another team playing then I would get the reason to watch with the hope that PSG will make it worth the while.

Nice sometimes try to bring home the similar experience PSG brings when watching the Ligue 1 games but then it's not as often as it's usually is with PSG. Most times if others are playing I doubt if the Ligue 1 gets enough viewers who aren't watching in the stadium but from the comfort of their home or streaming live,as much as it is when PSG is playing. The performance of lens in recent times has made them not to look like an average team but initially at the beginning of the season,they actually had such performance that you will consider than an average team.

Breast do have a very good fighting spirit,they ah e not been able to win most of their games but their fighting spirit to make sure they don't get embarrassing losses is such that they deserve some commendation for, they can actually be a tough team for kens even if we know lens has in recent times been a good team in their performance but it still doesn't put out the abilities of others who could challenge them.

Nice vs Montpellier

I have been discuss about this match before because previously Nice was lost plenty of points which makes their position on league standings was overtaked by Brest and Monaco and if Nice want to return to the top 3 again then they have to playing more consistent for each matches and actually on the paper Montpellier is easy opponent for Nice so let see today whether Nice can able to return to the winning ways or Nice will be failed to win again and resumes their poor results

Both teams has similar results because in the last 5 matches whether it Nice and Montpellier only get 1 win so this is interesting that which team who can able to beat their opponent and collect 3 points from this match but indeed Nice as favourite team and Montpellier as underdog status but i am not surprised because although Nice performance was decline but Nice still can able to performing well at their home ground and today Nice will lost Youssouf Ndayishimiye because he was got suspension but other players just like Terem Moffi will be available and Morgan Sanson who previously got injured was return to train again and possibly he will be available today and from squad condition and recent performance obviously Nice much better than Montpellier so let see Nice can able to beat Montpellier or not and for betting purposes Nice win has odds @1.75

I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  

With Champions League spots at stake, its sure to be a thriller. My pick is Brest due to their three-game winning streak. Lens playing at home might throw a wrench in the works; home advantage is crucial in crucial matches. Monaco, Lille, Nice, Lens, and Brest are all competing for Champions League positions in Ligue 1, which is exciting. Dont you think it makes every match more exciting?

We agree on betting - this match is too close to call. Brest has momentum, but Lens' determination to reach the Champions League zone, just three points behind, makes me hesitate to pick a side. Matches with so much at stake often surprise. Given the competition in Ligue 1, where even Marseille might cause trouble, its best to enjoy the game than worry about betting.

and in today's match Nice should have more advantages because competing at home means their confidence in getting a win is much greater, whereas Montpellier has a very bad performance without having any strength so Nice should try to secure 3 points.
TBH, I have doubts about Nice performance today and would prefer to avoid betting on unstable teams because my worries are about a draw.

Sometimes teams have bad streaks and sometimes they have good ones, there is really nothing that they can do about it, it's just the way it is. Look at the Lyon comeback, could anyone even imagine that? They got 12 points in 4 games all in a row, 4 wins is not something you expect from a team that was at the bottom of the table.

I believe that it is going to end up changing a lot, we need to just see where it will go, and that has to be something that's special without a doubt. I get that it is going to be quite easy for some people to see Nice as suddenly a "bad" team, but they are not, they are a decent team with a bad streak that's it. I am sure they will recover and do a lot better eventually, I do not doubt them at all.

Both of these clubs have won same games lost same games and drew same games, as much as you want to see Nice win tonight, you have to also observe the both sides are currently having same form, which makes it difficult for anyone of them to come out victorious and with all three points.
My best pick for this game tonight would bebfir both of the clubs to draw this game.
For Lens and Brest, I'd go for either of them sides winning. Lens was my best club from last season if I must say as they qualified for the Champions League Competition for th very first time, though they couldn't do so well in that Competition and got knocked into the UEFA European Europa League Competition. It's anyways bets on Brest to win tommorow or draw, they are in a hot form.

Kylian Mbappe and Per Emerick Aubameyang to score in this round of the League 1 Competition is something I'm predicting.

[hahay]

Nice vs Montpellier

I have been discuss about this match before because previously Nice was lost plenty of points which makes their position on league standings was overtaked by Brest and Monaco and if Nice want to return to the top 3 again then they have to playing more consistent for each matches and actually on the paper Montpellier is easy opponent for Nice so let see today whether Nice can able to return to the winning ways or Nice will be failed to win again and resumes their poor results

Both teams has similar results because in the last 5 matches whether it Nice and Montpellier only get 1 win so this is interesting that which team who can able to beat their opponent and collect 3 points from this match but indeed Nice as favourite team and Montpellier as underdog status but i am not surprised because although Nice performance was decline but Nice still can able to performing well at their home ground and today Nice will lost Youssouf Ndayishimiye because he was got suspension but other players just like Terem Moffi will be available and Morgan Sanson who previously got injured was return to train again and possibly he will be available today and from squad condition and recent performance obviously Nice much better than Montpellier so let see Nice can able to beat Montpellier or not and for betting purposes Nice win has odds @1.75

Even though Nice and Montpellier have not had good results recently but still, based on home factors and also based on head to head records and also based on their position in the standings, I think it is clear that Nice is still a better team compared to Montpellier. However, based on the available odds, it seems clear that Nice is the favorite team to win and therefore, I personally do not doubt the quality that Nice has if only compared to Montpellier, of course Nice is better than Montpellier . So yes, with my confidence in Nice in this match, I will not miss this match to bet on Nice to win in this home match. At least, Nice must also have a target of beating Montpellier because, in fact, in their first meeting this season in Ligue 1, Montpellier managed to hold Nice to a draw. So, although it may not be completely easy for Nice to win, because Nice is playing at home it is a target that must happen to beat Montpellier in their second meeting this season.

The game has lasted a few minutes but the score of the two teams has 1-1, Montpellier was lucky enough to get a todibo own goal in the 11th minute, due to a crisis in front of the Nice goal after a corner kick was made, it didn't even take long for Nice to respond to the loss with a goal from Boga in the 12th minute, it only took a minute for Nice to equalize the score to 1-1,  Isn't that fantastic enough?
Nice who are currently trying to end the season in European competition next season do not seem to waste the game day to get 3 points and make them climb to a better position later, until the 40th minute I have not seen any sign of Montpellier resurgence in today's match which does look very depressed due to the attack carried out by Nice and even the Montpellier players more often have to defend rather than try to attack Nice, so far I haven't seen any effective attacks by Montpellier players and until the game was almost over Montpellier only got 0 chances compared to Nice who had 2 shots on target and that's why I think today first half will end in a draw with a score of 1-1 and 3-1 for Nice victory looks like it will be the final result of today game.

[Leviathan.007]

This match is going to be one of the hardest games to predict because this time Brest got a better place in the table and they have got more than based on the previous results they had recently in the league but I think this time Lens can make them stop. Brest didn't lose any game in the last five matches they had and they won or had a draw while Lens couldn't get these results.
Maye this time there is a good opportunity for us to bet on Brest for this match because of the rates I can see
  

Betting on Lens or Brest winning seems like a big risk because both clubs have the same advantage, it's just that the bookie favors Lens just because they are the host.
Lens has an advantage from the past which looks very strong on several occasions beating Brest in several meetings even though Brest also got the same results but the bookies will give more importance to the past performance of these two clubs.
Meanwhile, Brest has the advantage that currently the club's performance is really very stable without wanting to lose and even trying to maintain its current position as runner up.
Betting on either Brest or Lens carries the risk of a draw but it would be better to bet on both clubs to score at odds @1.92
This option is less risky because Lens and Brest will definitely score because Brest wants to continue to get additional points.

I agree about betting in this game being risky because I think this time betting on Brest can be a wise choice but we can't forget that Lens is not a weak team and they had good performance in many games we saw from this team. In fact, Lens got enough power to even beat Brest with all the good results Brest got so fart during this season.
However, Brest is a team they are racing at the top of the table and they don't want to lose their place by losing points in this match.
Talking about the risk, betting is always risky but if you don't take a risk you can't get a reward and considering the reward I can see, I guess it is worth taking the risk.

Now the match is not very favorable for Nice because with the crucial time running out they still can't equalize the score which makes it possible for them to lose today's match.
Montpellier had the benefit of an own goal and a goal scored from a penalty but it was all down to some early mistakes by Nice.

This was exacerbated by Nice's poor finishing and looking at the conditions on the pitch today I don't think Nice will be able to equalize the score although there is still time left but with their poor attacking patterns I think it will be very difficult for Nice and they lose points in today's match.
