French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[KTChampions]

Agree. When people talk about Mbappe leaving, they seem to forget that besides him, PSG is full of star players, and if we talk about strikers, there are at least 2 more great ones besides him.
PSG will have no problem continuing to dominate Ligue 1, their only problem is reaching their long-term goal of the Champions League, but even City were able to achieve this goal after years of dominating the Premier League (which is definitely stronger than Ligue 1).

For a while PSG will certainly have a little difficulty achieving easy wins without Mbappe by their side, but as time goes by PSG will get used to his absence. Luis Enrique has a very good squad depth and is evenly distributed in every sector, Mbappe departure will not make them lose their status as a team that dominates Ligue 1. Financial support from club officials will continue to flow, and Lusi Enrique can return to building his dream squad according to what he said. will. So that in the future, PSG will not only look dominant in Ligue 1, but they can become one of the clubs challenging for the Champions League title too.

There are lots of potential young players that PSG can recruit, and they can also easily recruit players who are mature with experience, such as Osimhen or Rashford as replacements for the role left by Mbappe. There's no mistaking it, as time goes by we can see PSG developing like Manchester City, which ultimately managed to win the Champions League trophy. As we know, countless star players have come and gone from Manchester City, finally realizing their ambition to become kings of Europe. Mbappe departure is indeed a big loss, but PSG must look to the future to be able to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City.

I think after this season the road to PSG is closed for Rashford, he needs to prove again that he is a striker (I’m talking about a striker and not a top striker). Quite a sad career development for a player whom Ronaldo himself praised.
Yes, I already wrote that PSG seems to have followed the path of City: now they are not buying stars/brands, but simply good players. With good rotation (removing those who didn’t fit and buying new ones - this is exactly what City did endlessly) sooner or later the puzzle will come together.

[wakier]

I can't imagine how PSG will be in the next season when Mbappe leaves PSG without a replacement player, of course in the Champions League competition Enrique won't be able to do anything.

Everyone can only speculate what PSG will be like when Mbappe is no longer at the club, especially when they have to compete in the Champions League, because even though with Mbappe PSG still has difficulty becoming a strong team in the Champions League, that doesn't mean that without Mbappe, PSG's situation will be worse because of Luiz Enrique has good enough experience as a coach so he will have a strategy to rebuild this club for the better without the presence of his star player.

Indeed, apart from Mbappè at PSG there are still other key players that Luis Enrique can use to continue to dominate League One but in my opinion PSG's performance will definitely be more different when Mbappè is no longer in the team because PSG's star player who has contributed the most is Mbappè without him. PSG seems to have lost a goal-scoring machine for him.
But I think PSG will do various things to continue to stabilize its performance by recruiting other players, especially in the attack line. PSG really likes Mbappè's speed technique, therefore PSG will definitely recruit players who have almost the same performance as Mbappè.

Metz vs Monaco

Today i have seen for squad conditions for Monaco and apparently they will lost some players just like Denis Zakaria who got suspension and probably he will be absense in the next 3 matches because he was received a red card when Monaco playing draw against Lorient besides him Monaco defender Guillermo Maripan will be doubtful to play but some of key players such as Wissam Ben Yedder and Takumi Minamino will be available today and i have predict this match previously and i said Monaco will going to win this match and actually after Lille win from Lens then win result is mandatory for Monaco to taking over 3rd place and obviously  Monaco can able to do that today

Lyon vs Reims

For today match i didn't see any key players from Lyon who got injured and seem all of Lyon players will be available today and in the good fitness especially their captain Alexandre Lacazette that last week he was return from his injured and scores goals and other players such as Nemanja Matic and Lyon youngster Rayan Cherki in the good fitness too and ready to play and Lyon in the full of motivation want to extended their winning streak at Ligue and obviously if we see from Lyon recent condition they can able to do that and Lyon win has good odds @1.94

[rendravolt]

In the most important match of the week, it was Lille who won.Lille took the 3 points by defeating Lens 2-1 at home and moved into 3rd place with more than a game in hand.2 There was a 1 point difference between the 2 rivals before the match and we knew that the winner of this match would take a step forward.Lille played better with the advantage of being the host and won the match.Lille, who won the match with 2 goals scored by Zhegrova, is now waiting for their rivals to lose points.Lens will want to finish at least in the top 6 of the league, but I don't know if they can succeed because there is a tight race between the teams and the points are very close to each other.

Even though Lens lost, I'm pretty sure they can still get a place in European competition. It's free without having to stress where they have to go, but at least if they want to get it, they have to finish in 6th position or better because the competition will not be easy and continues to get crazy every week.

The defeat against Lille is enough to make it difficult for Lens to manage their steps for the rest of the season and they cannot afford to lose again ahead of next week and of course this defeat can provide an important lesson for them so as not to lose any more points. As hosts, Lille naturally won and they are now more comfortable because they are in 3rd place in the standings but the number of points is still the same as Monaco.

[Blitzboy]

Lille is currently winning comfortably against Lens, the game is now 2-0. Lille can score one more goal.
With this win Lille will keep their position in the League, this win is really good for them because there is not much points difference between 2nd and 9th place in the League, the standings can change all the time.

Now, people, I need to seriously praise Lille. They put on the best show I've seen them in a while. They're smart about how they play because they know Ligue 1 is tough. They are saving their best for Europe while also killing it at home. They are guaranteed to make the Champions League if they keep scoring like this. They should be careful, especially since Nice and Monaco are right behind them.

Lens is good, but this loss hurts. They need to get back together quickly if they want to visit Europe next year. This game is very tough; one mistake and you're out of the news. Lille, on the other hand, is making progress toward long-term success by finding the right mix. It might be a big year for them.

Even though several Monaco players had to be absent due to injury and one of them was suspended, Monaco was still much more favored than the home team. Based on the betting market, Manaco is far superior to Metz in the meeting between these two teams. Apart from that, it seems that Monaco can use the two system options that will be implemented by Aldolf Hutter. Manaco could have played a little safer with a 4-4-3 pattern, or continued to play offensively with a 4-2-3-1 pattern. The problem is, Metz also has injured players who are also in the relegation zone. What is certain is that both teams want full points in this match.  Monaco to overtake Lille, while Metz to overtake Nates who is ranked 16th. but in any case, Monaco's probability is higher than Metz even though they are the home team. So, Manaco should be able to win this match.

Another match, between Lyon and Reims.
These two teams are ranked close together, Lyon is in 10th position and while Reims is ranked above Lyon. The difference is, there is a 4 point difference between Lyon and Reims. It's just that, based on the league matches that these two teams have played, Lyon is slightly better than Reims. However, that doesn't mean this match will be easy for Lyon even though they are playing at home. because Reims will not be easily beaten. Moreover, in the first meeting Reims was able to overthrow Lyon. the difference is, Lyon is slightly superior to the opposing team. It could be, because Lyon is playing at home plus they are in a condition that leads to improved performance. referring to the available odds, both have attractive odds. which means, this match could knock each other out or end in a draw. my estimation, Under 2.75 is a good option even though it is risky. however, it is worth the odds given @1.91. Let's just wait and see the results of the match between these two teams.

Now Lille is in the top four and can also be a serious threat to Monaco and Brest because the points gap between these three teams is quite close now. But I am also still wary of other teams like Nice who can still fight to get their best position this season because in Ligue 1 there are only three positions that can directly qualify for the UCL without having to take part in qualifications, such as the team that finished the season in fourth place. And I think the battle for that position will still be fierce until the end of the season in Ligue 1.

I don't think there is anything that makes Lille extraordinary just because they managed to beat Lens because after all, in this match also that Lille played at home and that Lille also has a good head to head record against Lens. So yes, winning at home only with a score of 2-1 I think is not a surprising result and not entirely impressive. Unless, if Lille managed to beat PSG with a bigscore, then ofcourse the result would be an impressive and surprising result. But anyway, if it's just about Lille beating Lens I think the result is just a normalresult and anyway, they are also still competing strongly to be able to finish in the topthree and that's normal to happen.

The competition for tickets to the Champions League has now become more interesting because it involves several clubs at once, Monaco, Brest, Lille and Nice will fight to finish in the Champions League zone. Meanwhile, PSG position at the top of the standings is no longer unshakable, Enrique squad is just waiting to lock up the Ligue 1 trophy in the next few matches. Monaco is a team in a slightly more comfortable position in the standings, and they have a big chance of finishing in runnerup position this season. Meanwhile, Brest and Lille will continue to fight for the final position in the Champions League zone, of course Nice will continue to press and have the ambition to get it too.

There are not many remaining Ligue 1 matches, and we are now entering week 27, which means there are only 7 weeks left. It is true, the competition to finish in the European zone will continue to be fierce until the end of the season, Lens and Marseille will also continue to try to improve their position in the standings, so they can finish on the Europa League path. However, overall, if we look at the current Ligue 1 standings, no team has consistently won in their last five matches, which means that anything can still happen, and there will definitely be changes in position every week.

AS Monaco seems success securing three points in this week after victory against Metz although the match until 67th minutes lead awhile over 3-0 and current standings move up to 2nd position place behind three points remaining from Lille. Seems AS Monaco's 2nd standings position awhile can't existing for longer time with Brest remaining two points awhile will face not strong team Lorient and has chance take three points return back to 2nd place. Currently Lille position in top fourth standing still not comfort yet behind Nice with three points remaining has chance get three points in this week and keep pressure Lille will finish or qualify to Champion League next season?
The Ligue 1 tittle race likely winning by PSG, but interested four position standings and three Champion League ticket next season still not secure yet with Monaco, Brest, Lille, Nice and Lens or Marseille has chance up to fourth standings teams.

[MAAManda]

The strongest candidate in the Ligue 1 title race is PSG with 59 points and 1 match deficit they have, in second, third and fourth we have AS Monaco, Brest & Lille. The three teams are close on points and with several matches remaining it's still possible for the three teams to be in second place in the Ligue 1 standings.

Which team do you think will manage to get second place at the end of the league? any guesses?

The final score was 5-2 for Monaco's victory, many goals occurred in the final minutes of the match because both teams had started to play openly and indeed Monaco's victory was very natural because the opponents they faced were bottom teams so Monaco had no significant difficulty in securing 3 points this week.

Despite Monaco's current 2nd position not lasting long, the 3 points they got this week are quite important because several teams are currently competing fiercely to finish in the top 3 in order to get a ticket to the UCL next season and Monaco is still the favorite even though the points gap between several teams is very thin.

The first place will definitely be occupied by Paris Saint Germain, but the second place is still a question mark, because the point gap between them is not too far and as usual they are not consistent, so there are still many possibilities that will happen at the end of the season. who could actually occupy second place.

Now Monaco can occupy that place, but they also only have a distance of 3 points from Brest which is right below them, followed by LOSC which only has a distance of 4 points from Monaco. For now, Monaco definitely has a big chance to maintain its position, but that also means they have to be able to ensure they don't lose too many points. The reason is that I still really believe they will still lose points. In short, whoever loses fewer points than the 3 clubs will be able to occupy second place at the end of the standings. And we can't confirm this yet because all the possibilities still exist and the opportunities for them are still quite large.

The open play from both teams contributed to this exciting finish. Scoring 5 goals shows their dominance on the field. Their opponents may have been lower-ranked teams, but the win was undoubtedly earned through their capability to capitalize chances created. Securing three points this week is crucial for Monaco, especially amidst the fierce competition among teams vying for a spot in the top three for the next UEFA Champions League season.

The race is tight, with thin margins differentiating the contenders for top spots. The win implies their determination to maintain their standing in the rankings, Monaco's position as a favorite remains strong. Their recent triumph can be a testament to their determination and ambition to maintain their position among the top contenders in the rankings. With such determination driving them forward, Monaco should be poised to continue their impressive performance and remain a force to be reckoned with.

For the team that will probably finish in second place I believe it is Monaco, not only because Monaco is currently in second place but yes, purely because I am more confident that Monaco will be able to finish in second place. Not only that, because when Brest was still in second place and had the opportunity to compete with PSG at the top of the standings, but at that time I also believed that Brest was still not strong enough to be able to compete with PSG in the top standings. In fact, to finish in second place too, I really doubted Brest at that time but anyway, the reality was true because Brest failed to maintain its position in second place because it was overtaken by Monaco. Also, the reason I said Monaco will finish in second place is because I am also confident, that Monaco is capable and or has good quality compared to Lille and Brest and therefore, I personally believe the final position in top four is PSG, Monaco, Lille and Brest.

[QueenVera]

One thing we must not fail to understand is that the sports media majorly discusses about players that are globally recognized because talking about them draws the attention of many to whatever news that has to do with them and when you talk about the top three best footballers in the world at the moment Kylian Mbappe will easily be among them. The constant news about the France international isn't just because he's one of the best players in the world but also because he's expected to leave French champions Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season and for a player of his calibre, the media will always come up with something to say about him.
That being said, Kylian Mbappe before he leaves Paris Saint Germaine at the end of this season, wants to make sure he wins as many trophies as possible for Paris Saint Germaine which the UEFA Champions League trophy is at the top of his priority

Losing a player like Mbappe who has achieved some great feats at his young age and is still vibrant will be a big blow to psg as you can see how poorly they perform in the league when Mbappe is on the bench. Mbappe’s one very big player and any club losing a player of his caliber will surely fall at some points. Yes they might have key players that will be to step up but the issue will be that those players might not be able to attain the heights Kylian attained while at the club.

 Yea the club has some major players that can fill up the void but for the issue of them chasing their European dream, missing a player like Kylian will have a massive blow as that could reduce any hopes they’re having of them succeeding. They’ll probably be able to succeed if the team  coach is able to change the tactics in such a way that it’ll favour the club and they’re able to acquire the right player to fill the void Kylian is about to leave behind.

 Well winning the UCL is very possible but the coach must be ready to use the right tactics as that’s one major win they can get success in the Ucl and they must not give up too easily. They xan take cue from Man City’s success as this should be one very big motivation for them. ⁠Mbappe before be leaves can sure get some major trophies for the club like he’s already bringing the league home and he can as well add the French Cup to the trophy list for himself. This will be him leaving on a very high note and I’m sure the fans won’t forget all he’s done for the club sooner as he’s one quality player.

[bering]

Monaco today has been displayed fantastic performance because they can able to overcomes Metz with huge scores 5-2 and as i predicted this is easy match for Monaco because within 4 minutes Minamino can made his first goal in this match even in the first half Monaco can able to leading the match 3-0 and this makes Monaco in the comfortable situations and Balogun can be deserved to called as super sub this because playing starting from the bench but he can able to scores 2 goals however first time for Monaco this season they can able to scores 5 goals in a single match

On the other hand Lyon failed to extended their winning streak this because they only can able to playing draw from Reims and playing with all of their key players Lyon has taking initiative to playing attacking since early match and Lyon even can gets several opportunities to scores but first half was ended with no goals for them and in the second half Okumu can bringing Reims to leading the game but it wasn't last long because Nuamah can equalized the scores which makes both teams have to satisfied to share points each other and after this result Reims is stayed at 9th place and Lyon still occupy 10th place on league table

[Salahmu]

Lille can still qualify for the Champions League even directly to the group stage. It won't be easy to hold onto top three for that though. If they can be more productive in the amount of goals from now on this can be much more possible. 

Yeah that's true but although Lille are not completely safe to qualify for the champions League next season because there points is still low to be easily challenged by other teams because right now there points difference with Nice is just 3 points so there is every chances that if Nice are to be consistent they would possibly bring Lille down from the fourth position they are currently at because the point is too close.

Though I'm not saying that Lille is not is not good but the fact I'm trying to state is that for Lille to completely be safe on that position they will Serously need to be very consistent in wining there remaining matches because that's the only way they can accumulate more point over Nice, although they are very lucky on there remaining matches because they will not meet too much club to would give them a difficult time to win.

[Weawant]

I'm really impressed with the kind of results AS Monaco got from the match against Metz tonight, it really showed a great level of superiority in their league a.d even others would aswell watch.inaco closely when they have got a fixture with them, they would  make sure to be very careful as to not be carefree with their tactics and get to loose the game by the end of the match because they now look like one of the top teams.

Metz was actually dominated by Monaco very much in this game that they only stared to get their goals in the second half of the game as all through they first half it was only Monaco who was able to get goals and were able to lead which they later win with the lead. Winning with such margin shows so much strength from Monaco and also they did not just win but had a very brilliant performance where they were able dominate the whole game from the first hald till the end of the game. Meta is actually not a really tough team but in their capacity they tried well enough to get two goals .

Monaco is now ten point away from PSG as they have got 49 points and PSG has got 59 points on the table, it's quite a far distance but they still have got some form of possibilities to still close the gap but that will be if PSG losses their games and are not really winning but then even at that they still have got enough points ahead that Monaco cannot just displace them even if they are given the opportunity.

[Leviathan.007]

Regarding AS Monaco, their next game will be against Rennes which cannot be a hard game for them because we know Monaco is a good team with a good performance and they can easily beat Rennes in this match. However considering the last games from Monaco, I guess this team can even have an unstable performance in the game and there is the chance for them to lose some points, it isn't worth betting on a draw or Rennes winning this match but I think a still betting on Monaco is risky because of their past results.
