French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hahay]

The last match of the day in France Ligue 1 will be played between Lens and Nice. Lens beat Brest 1-0 last week and moved to 5th place in the league. They need to keep this position to qualify for the European Cups next season. On the other hand, Nice have been disappointing me in recent weeks. They had a great start to the season. But in the last weeks they have lost points one after the other. Francesco Farioli is one of the young coaches I like a lot. I hope he can get Nice back to their early season performance as soon as possible.

Lens and Nice currently only have a gap of two points and at the sametime, I think that at this moment Nice is really experiencing a decline in performance after the bad results it got. With these factors, then I personally do not believe Nice can get points in the away match against Lens this time. Because afterall, I think Lens also has a good defense and at the same time, Nice does not have good aggressiveness in making goals. Therefore, I think this match will be a tough match and thus, I also believe that there will not be many goals scored in this match. Although indeed, that Nice does not have a good chance of winning, but it looks like a draw can still happen butstill, it looks like Lens has a good chance to win even if it only wins with a thinscore.

It feels right to have Mbappe join Real Madrid. Theres this young, explosive talent whos already a game-changer on the field, and Real Madrid has a history of fostering such players and making them legendary. Dont forget finance. Mbappe's transfer to PSG, which doesnt pay big, is risky. So he wants honor, not just gold. Real Madrid's goal is to win titles.

Mbappé will be surrounded by the best players in the world and this will increase the number of goals he will score in the Spanish league. In PSG he would have to create chances before he scores but this might not be the case in Real Madrid. PSG lost the opportunity to make money from the transfer of the French striker because he refused to extend his contract. But he is willing to give the club part of his earnings from endorsement.

Pressure's on, right? If possible, joining Real Madrid will require him to improve. The challenge is up to Mbappe, though. Football genius, unlike others. European football will be lit up by his goal-scoring instinct and Real Madrid's competitiveness. This is my promise. He wants to leave his mark, not merely follow legends. Im available. It will be great to see him make history in a Real Madrid shirt.

Mbappé will be under pressure to perform because much is expected from him. Fans will expect him to prove that he is worth the money and waiting. I agree that the French striker is focusing more on winning individual trophies and awards. I suspect that Mbappé might change his mind if PSG wins the Champions League.

[tygeade]

Mbappe to Madrid is great and all, but he will have to be playing striker there, and as we have seen in the last 2 seasons when Messi and Neymar was here and Mbappe played striker, he doesn't "like" it, doesn't mean he can't, he can still play there, and he is playing there at times even this year, I am not saying he will be bad there, he will be quite good there.

I am just saying, it is not his preference, if you gave him the option then he would prefer left attacking winger, he will still be around the goal, but he will be at the left side of it. Striker is a central position, and doesn't have a side, whichever side attack comes from, he will be forced to be there, including right side, which he dislikes.

The last match of the day in France Ligue 1 will be played between Lens and Nice. Lens beat Brest 1-0 last week and moved to 5th place in the league. They need to keep this position to qualify for the European Cups next season. On the other hand, Nice have been disappointing me in recent weeks. They had a great start to the season. But in the last weeks they have lost points one after the other. Francesco Farioli is one of the young coaches I like a lot. I hope he can get Nice back to their early season performance as soon as possible.

Lens' hopes of extending their winning streak are wide open today by facing Nice who are indeed in poor form after 6 matches without winning, currently Lens are in high motivation after they managed to beat Brest who were above them last week, the victory over Brest makes Lens' current position closer to being able to enter the European competition zone and today the opportunity is even more real if they Able to beat Nice, the competition between Nice and Lens is quite fierce because currently the two are only 2 goals apart to be outperform each other in the standings and certainly the match on day will be a decisive match for both to become teams that deserve to enter the European competition zone this season.

In terms of quality and consistency of course the lens is still better than Nice at the moment, but Nice who failed to win in their last match certainly have high motivation to immediately end the bad trend today, seeing the ambitions of both teams who are currently struggling to be better of course it allows the match to be very exciting and certainly a rain of goals may occur in the match,  My prediction is that Lens will win the match with a score of 3-2.

I hope he can get Nice back to their early season performance as soon as possible.

This match will be held in the next few hours, Lens as the home team will maintain their progress to win the match for the third time with a win in a row if they beat Nice. thus, Lens will temporarily shift the ranking occupied by Lille. so, in this match Franck Haise's squad will target victory at their own home. On the other hand, Nice experienced a decline in performance by never winning in five matches. plus, Nice was defeated by Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France competition. Currently, Francesco Farioli's team is in sixth place behind Lens, only two points behind.


Referring to the line-up of the two teams, it seems that both coaches will implement an offensive pattern. however, I'm not sure if this match will present an exciting and interesting fight. Referring to the betting market, Lens is slightly superior to its rival team Nice. Lens with odds @2.05, while Nice with @3.90. my estimate is that Lens will be able to beat their opposing team in this meeting. so, let's wait for the final result of this match.

Striker is a central position, and doesn't have a side, whichever side attack comes from, he will be forced to be there, including right side, which he dislikes.

Assuming that Mbappe will be at Real Madrid, it seems like the coach will be able to know where he will be placed, because usually coaches will carry out experiments where a player can use all his abilities. Carlo Ancelotti is an experienced coach, so I personally have confidence that he will be placed in the best position. But of course he has to go through several series of processes and he has to get used to it.

Mbappe is a coach who has above average abilities so he must be able to maximize his abilities, and if he wants to choose the most comfortable position in his game, then he must be able to show it when he gets that position. Because sometimes a player doesn't realize his abilities, and I also see that Mbappe still shows quite a lot of selfishness, so that might be a little hampering his development. However, if he were at Real Madrid, I think that trait would slowly disappear considering that Real Madrid is a pretty firm team.

Kylian Mbappe have already confirmed that he's going to leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season and even when it's not been confirmed of where he'll be heading to, it's understood that the France national team captain is bound to be a Real Madrid player next season. A lot of clubs have shown strong interest to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germaine but he is more interested in joining a club that'll help him win the UEFA Champions League trophy and considering the squad at Real Madrid and the fact that they're managed by a manager that happens to be the most decorated manager on the competition having won it on four different occasions, Kylian Mbappe seems like he's very much interested in joining Real Madrid after the expiration of his current contract with Paris Saint Germaine in the summer.
The big problem for Paris Saint Germaine at the moment is how they can successfully get a good replacement for Kylian Mbappe at the end of the current season. Mbappe is one player that's very good with what he does with the ball at his feet and getting a player that can single handedly win big games for Paris Saint Germaine like he does will definitely be a big challenge for the club.

Kylian who has been on the mouth of media outlets as news about his transfer is a major source of revenue more especially for media outlets. No one knew where he’ll be headed especially after not giving in to Madrid since over 2 seasons. He’s had a dream of playing for the Los Blancos side but let’s just say he wasn’t ready to offer his services to the club. His services to the club was greatly needed and I think right now, he’s now ready to offer his services and I think his move to the Spanish club will be able to help him attain some individual accolades for himself.

 Kylian is one kind of player who plays an entertaining football but yet doesn’t fail to deliver anytime he’s called up on to do so. And for the spanish side who’re in need of a good striker, I think Kylian will be a perfect fit for that position and it’ll be a laudable experience seeing him in the white shirt. For Real Madrid fans, this news is one very big news that they dearly appreciates and can’t wait to see the French captain play and offer his services to the club. I also know and believe the players at Real Madrid are ready to welcome the striker and work with him to achieve greAtly for the club.

 PSG who are at the losing ends are all out already to get a replacement for him and I wish they’ll be able to go easy on the process of getting the replacement as Kylian replacement might not be at his level right now and will need the right tutorship to get to that A level. This is one big factor PSG should consider as they will be saving lots of money signing a less cheaper player with grwat potentials. I wish Mbappe luck in his new career path as he should also learn to himble himself in the Spanish club and I also wish PSG luck to in their search for a replacement.

However, if he were at Real Madrid, I think that trait would slowly disappear considering that Real Madrid is a pretty firm team.

Mbappe seems to be plotted as a center forward, if Ancelotti uses Vinicius and Rodrygo in one lineup. Such experiments are very easy for Ancelotti, he is very experienced in placing players in different positions from the original. What is clear is that Mbappe was brought in with the aim of being able to replace the role left by Benzema, it seems he is quite ideal in that position.

Speculation about Mbappe future is still ongoing, and so far there has been no official statement. Recently, it was also rumored that Hakimi would leave PSG to move to Madrid, I believe this could make PSG weaker in competing in the Champions League. Enrique must look for suitable players if both players leave in one transfer window.

Overall, PSG bargaining value in Ligue 1 remains the same although Mbappe leaves, they are still quite easy to win the domestic trophy every season. But things could be different in the Champions League, PSG will have difficulty competing with elite teams if they don't recruit players close to Mbappe quality. Enrique looks like he will reshuffle his main squad next season.

The last match of the day in France Ligue 1 will be played between Lens and Nice. Lens beat Brest 1-0 last week and moved to 5th place in the league. They need to keep this position to qualify for the European Cups next season. On the other hand, Nice have been disappointing me in recent weeks. They had a great start to the season. But in the last weeks they have lost points one after the other. Francesco Farioli is one of the young coaches I like a lot. I hope he can get Nice back to their early season performance as soon as possible.

After getting bad results in the last 5 matches they finished, Nice finally had the opportunity to win the match against Lens.  farioli used a good strategy in this match, he used a 4-3-3 strategy where he prioritized a thick defense, apart from that moffi also played well even though there were several opportunities that didn't become goals, this second half will definitely be very tough, lens really need full points in this match to continue to climb the rankings.

[GiftedMAN]

It is clear that Real Madrid will come to pick up Kylian Mbappe to play with the Los Blancos next season and of course it will further improve Real Madrid's performance next season, although this has not yet reached a definite agreement and other elite clubs are also eyeing his signature but I don't think Mbappe is that interested and he prefers Real Madrid, which Mbappe will use as a good place for his future, but he needs to remember that Real Madrid does not pay a large salary like when he was at PSG, so he must be prepared for the rules and requirements of Real Madrid when he is there.

Having Kylian Mbappe on the Real Madrid squad will surely be a great advantage for real Madrid because Kylian Mbappe is a very big Assets to any club he will venture into, however a playing with the kind of qualities he has real Madrid is actually one of the best club that would utilize and make his performance more noticeable because no matter how good a player may be but the moment he found himself on a wrong club he will always find it very difficult to perform the way he normally do, so perhaps that's the reason why Real Madrid will be very good for him because there are a lot of players who normally has his pattern of play so it will be very easy for him to adapt, so if real Madrid can achieve getting Kylian Mbappe to there club they will be very happy for themselves with how far they will likely be going every season.

Real Madrid team is one of the biggest team in the world right now and the number of young stars they have in the team is one of the most interesting things about the club and with the presence of Mbappe who will certainly play the role of a striker in the team there is going to be a perfect position for Vinicous Junior, Jude Bellingham who has been scoring from a free role position will have a good striker who will be doing the scoring if he doesn't score so i think Mbappe will definitely fit in the pattern of the club easily because he is a very talented player and with the quality of manger in the Madrid team there's no way Mbappe won't find things very easy under the management of Carlo Ancelotti.

[Weawant]

In the last five games, Nice has been unable to win a single as they have lost four and drew one of their last five games and this is actually an exhibition of weakness on their side, this night they seem to be managing to put up what looks like a good result against their opponent in the fixture they are playing tonight as they are already leading by a goal ahead which if they are able to hold till the end they will be winning this game.

The interesting part has to be in the fact that despite all this poor results so far, they have been able to still maintain their fourth position to still stay amongst the top four team which could possibly secure a champions league ticket by next season, Nice actually started this season so we'll they were at the second position at some point and was considered one of the best team in the Ligue 1 this season but then currently it seems the lost some of their form and are gradually trying to get back their form again but they are yet to get it completely.

It's pass the sixtieth minutes of the game and Nice is already leading by two goals so most likely this could be a winning game for them if they are able to really get to hold on to their goals without conceding UpTo two goals before the end of the game again. They will have to . make sure they keep their attack active while protecting their defense so they can get another goals before the end of the match while not conceding any.

In the French Soccer League today, Lens vs Nice two team match, Nice team won the match by scoring 3 goals. Lens team lost today's match due to the poor performance of Lens team players. Lens team could not score any goals before halftime. However, they scored 1 goal in 76 minutes. The game  Before the start I thought this match might be a draw but Lens team played very well for which Lens team won the match by 3 goals.

Kylian Mbappe over the years have been arguably the most important player in the Paris Saint Germaine squad and that's why I'm not surprised that the club was very reluctant to let him leave the club but the player who refused to sign a contract extension with the club obviously wants to leave the club and go to another big club that'll help him actualize his football dreams as a footballer. Of of those dreams is to win the UEFA Champions League trophy as a player and because of the fact that Real Madrid is the most successful club in the competition coupled with the fact that Real Madrid also have a quality squad that'll help him actualize him dreams, the French international is very keen ij joining Real Madrid after the end of the current season.
Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez have never hidden his admiration for Kylian Mbappe as he's always wanted to sign him before now and now that the player is ready to leave Paris Saint Germaine, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Fiorentino Perez from signing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid

Lens team could not score any goals before halftime. However, they scored 1 goal in 76 minutes. The game  Before the start I thought this match might be a draw but Lens team played very well for which Lens team won the match by 3 goals.

This is a very decisive match for both of them, cz their positions will definitely change. And this time, unfortunately Lens was not been able to optimize the opportunities they had. In fact, statistically, they didn't lose. In fact, Lens was more dominating and attacking. Various attacks were attempted to break into Nice's goal. But, it turned out he couldn't. In fact, Nice's counterattack could quickly reverse the position. In this condition, it turns out that Lens is quite difficult. And in the end, Nice were truly able to conquer Lens with great pride.

In football, more goals than the opponent, means victory. whatever the process and how good statistic shows. it's just a matter of the goal created.

Lens was doing good and have chance for staying into top four for another season, but this stunning defeat gives them big setback because now chances are alive but not as they were going and Nice bring themselves into better spot for staying into top four which is good comeback from them even they are still needed performance like this in coming matches because usually we have teams are not consistent which create issues for them.

Today we are going to have two big games which are also going to have big impact on League table because Marseille is also doing good in last few matches after having poor season and Brest is also going to host Lille which is also giving their best for the jumping into top four Monaco is already in stable position for having their spot into top four, but we are going to watch good fight between few teams until end of the season because difference of points is not big between them.

Having Kylian Mbappe on the Real Madrid squad will surely be a great advantage for real Madrid because Kylian Mbappe is a very big Assets to any club he will venture into, however a playing with the kind of qualities he has real Madrid is actually one of the best club that would utilize and make his performance more noticeable because no matter how good a player may be but the moment he found himself on a wrong club he will always find it very difficult to perform the way he normally do, so perhaps that's the reason why Real Madrid will be very good for him because there are a lot of players who normally has his pattern of play so it will be very easy for him to adapt, so if real Madrid can achieve getting Kylian Mbappe to there club they will be very happy for themselves with how far they will likely be going every season.

Of course having Kylian Mbappe is a big advantage because he is a quality player and has good potential at the club, especially at his young age his stamina is still very good if he is at the right club. Being at Real Madrid is also an advantage for Kylian Mbappe in supporting his career and also for his future if he continues to play well at Real Madrid then he will become an asset that Real Madrid is most proud of, just like Karim Benzema and also Cristiano Ronaldo who have been part of Real Madrid's success and I am confident in Mbappe's abilities in the future he will become a star player.

Any player who comes to Real Madrid will definitely be able to adapt quickly, like when Jude Bellingham came to Real Madrid, it didn't take long for him to be able to impress with Real Madrid, this is because the Real Madrid players have high solidarity and are able to work together well which makes club performs optimally in every match they play. If Mbappe is there he will definitely feel the same comfort because as far as I know there is no Real Madrid player who feels uncomfortable there and Mbappe's contribution is very important for Real Madrid to improve its attacks next season.

Real Madrid team is one of the biggest team in the world right now and the number of young stars they have in the team is one of the most interesting things about the club and with the presence of Mbappe who will certainly play the role of a striker in the team there is going to be a perfect position for Vinicous Junior, Jude Bellingham who has been scoring from a free role position will have a good striker who will be doing the scoring if he doesn't score so i think Mbappe will definitely fit in the pattern of the club easily because he is a very talented player and with the quality of manger in the Madrid team there's no way Mbappe won't find things very easy under the management of Carlo Ancelotti.

Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid in relationship for the years and during this time Real Madrid having impressive performance as well because they are having few top quality youngsters which are giving their best and having good contribution for the team success so with the entry of the Mbappé things will be stayed at the same level, or we will have problems it's not clear because most of the time we have things never been as we expected so for the real time better update and performance we have to wait for the Kylian Mbappé into team and his chemistry with the other players which are already settled and doing impressive job.

Currently, we have better depth between Vini and Jude Bellingham with few are giving them good support and things are really at the top but as Real Madrid management extended Carlos Ancelotti contract, and now they are waiting for the Mbappé this all will be give all in coming season is this going to be positive, or they are going to be faced something bad.

So far in all the games we saw from Lyon during this season, they were the most unpredictable and unstable team in the French League and it's too hard to say if they will lose to win the next game they are going to have against Reims.
In the first weeks of this season, Lyon was the worst team in the French league and they failed even the easiest games against weaker teams while were predicted to see them win. Even I remember people were predicting them getting relegated at the end of the season but they changed a lot and now Lyon is in the 10th place of the tale with 34 points they got in 26 games which is not bad compared to the situation they had before.
Now Lyon should play against Reims and both teams are near in the league, while in the last five games Lyon had, they won four games which is amazing for this team.

I agree about the Lyon, but one thing is positive as in first 16 games they have only 3 wins and as things were going mostly were prediction they are going to stay in danger zone for the long time, but suddenly we have big change and in last 10 games we have 7 wins from them with 3 loses, and they are improving after every match in last five games they have 4 wins and 1 lost which bring them to the top in performance for the last 5 rounds which is amazing.

With this performance now I am having feeling most chances they will be able to stay into top half of the league table which could be good end for them after staying into relegation zone for the all first half of the season with their defense is still one of the worst with conceding 40 goals into 26 games, and they need to fix this problem which are surely going to hurt them in future as well.

[entertheabyss]

PSG is ranked first and they're doing everything to continue staying at the top table this season. They're not jeopardizing their opportunities and nailed the exact targets lined out. I consider the France Ligue One to be inspiring for mediocre teams but not for elite ones. Paris Saint-Germain have nailed the big winnings and they're doing everything to pulled stats against top clubs in the UEFA Champions League competition. That's were they're focusing because lifting the title will become one of the top accomplishments on their ends.

Compared to other clubs, I think Lyon is one of the clubs that has shown quite good improvement. They were bad at the start of the season, but after they made a few changes, they were slowly able to find their best game, and that became a new hope for them, because at least they could still provide competition in the middle of the standings. The opportunity for them to continue to improve their position is also still quite open considering that the distance between the teams in points is not too far now and looking at the number of matches available, that is a sufficient number for them to be in an even better ranking.

But I myself wouldn't expect much, because seeing them show improvement is also a good thing. What is more important is that they must be able to maintain what they are showing now, because if they decline again in performance it will relegate them to a position that is no better in the standings. So they must be able to ensure they will be able to maintain their consistency in the game.
