French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Slow death]

Who would have thought that Lens would lose against a lowly team like Metz and they would have to go home without taking a point in this match. Of course the result is surprising and detrimental for Lens because their chances of winning are very big. However, Metz, who lost in a row in their previous three matches, wanted to give a different result, especially in front of their fans, so they couldn't afford to lose again and it all paid off by beating Lens.

I think there are times when a weak team like Metz can win and this result revives their chances of quickly getting out of the relegation zone which is only 2 points away. Of course they have to win again next week and try to increase their chances of winning again. For Lens, they were stuck in 6th position and failed to displace Nice this week.
There are certainly quite a few who have lost money on this bet and I also felt that after betting on Lens.

I don't see any surprise in this result. Maybe the mistake comes from the people who, when analyzing this game, looked at the position in which each of these two teams were in the table and ignored the other very important detail, I'm talking about this very important detail:



In the last 4 games, Lens only won 1 game and came from a sequence of 3 games without winning. and to make matters worse, before Lens played against Metz, they played against Le Havre in a game that ended in a draw. Looking at the position Le Havre is currently in, we see the following:



We see that Le Havre are close to Metz, there is not much difference with Metz. Both teams in the last 5 games did not perform well. this was already a strong indicator that Metz's game against Lens would be a very balanced game in which both teams had a great chance of winning the game and Metz did better and it shouldn't be a reason for much surprise, because in addition to Everything I said here shows a clear balance between these two teams, Metiz in the last 2 games before the game against Lens, managed to score at least 2 goals in each of the last two games they played and they were games against strong teams.

Metz 2 - 5 Monaco (match on March 30th)

stade brestois 4 - 3 Metz (game on April 7th)

Stade Brestois is currently the team that occupies second place in the table and even so Metz managed to score 3 goals, and see that this was Metz's last game before playing against Lens. So it was already clear that Metz had a good chance of winning the game against Lens

[Oneandpure]

That was unexpected from Lens to lose against the worst team in Ligue 1 after Clermont Foot..
Lens started the season horribly and now this defeat? The worst part is that they were leading by one goal for most part of the first half, in addition to not being able to score from some attacks.
They might not lose their position in the table this round but this will allow the other teams to get closer from them..

Unexpected result for Lens how possibility defeated by relegation zone teams Metz, get more difficult for Lens raise top fourth standings and repeat their achievement last season by qualifying to champion league. Leading one goals on the early minutes but Lens failed for defending the winning result and put their self will raise one spot for Europe League or champion league?
Metz has good capital for facing 5 matches left and try to defend in Ligue 1 competition next season, has too close points with Lorient, Nantes and Le Havre still has chance for Mets get out from relegation zone and get chance with relegation playoff round if fail moving up from relegation standings.

Honestly PSG doesn't feel any pressure at all at Ligue one, the point difference is 10, so it is not like they would care. They could lose this game too and not care about it since it is not going to matter to them. I understand that it may feel like maybe a little different to some people, but that's just the way it is right now. I feel like the best way to go would be making sure that we are going to handle getting better one way or another, and we could probably see the situation change a lot more later on.

I hope that we could probably get a better result, but seems like it is not that easy. I get that it may not look amazing so far, but I believe that we are going to probably end up with a much better result eventually.

The title of Ligue 1 champion definitely belongs to PSG with a difference of 10 points, they, of the remaining 7 matches in Ligue 1 that they have only Nice which is most likely to be their obstacle, it could be that before the Nice - PSG match, PSG has already secured the Ligue 1 title for them.

Maybe we'll see a more competitive Ligue 1 next season because the news about Kylian Mbappe's move is getting hotter, what do you think, will PSG still compete in the top 4 next season if Kylian Mbappe leaves PSG?

[Blitzboy]

PSG is always in doubt when appearing in the UCL so they are not favorites to win the UCL title because PSG has difficulty competing with the top teams there, PSG always dominates League 1 and always competes in the UCL but still they can't do much in the UCL they always get knocked out before reaching the final, even though PSG have good players but not enough to prove their strength in the UCL.

It's quite unfortunate to watch PSG lose first leg of the UCL quarter-finals to Barcelona on Parc des Princes stadium ground and have been huge blow on their faces. Luis Enrique should make more enquiries on beating their opponents and his former team. Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti understands how football operates and they've also made progress interms of their squad and substitution made available. The UEFA Champions League is among just two main clubs. They're Real Madrid and the defending champions, Manchester City. We know how fierce and strong these teams have dominated the UCL and have been consistent and promising in their matches.

This home loss hurts PSG more than usual. Huge hopes for this team, and Barcelona loss? They're struggling. The away leg will be harsh; Barca's fans support them. We know Champions League home advantage important. PSG shouldnt be dismissed yet. They must fix their defense and attack more aggressively.

Enrique must plan better next time. He must study Barcelona's style. Guardiola and Ancelotti modify things up for each opponent, finding weaknesses. Enrique must provide such information. PSG has talent, no doubt. They just need the perfect strategy to expose Barca. I support them, the team, and the fans. They deserve better.

However, Metz, who lost in a row in their previous three matches, wanted to give a different result, especially in front of their fans, so they couldn't afford to lose again and it all paid off by beating Lens.

Yes, even though Lens took the lead in the 13th minute, but who would have thought that Metz played so well that it made it difficult for Lens in that match and was able to equalize in the 33rd minute and at the end of the first half and the score was 2:1 ahead in the first half, making Metz winning until the end and bringing them the full 3 points, indeed this defeat was very detrimental for Lens because they were struggling in the European zone but Metz was very happy with this result, at least little by little they were able to shift their position from the red zone.

Everyone must have been surprised by the result of the match between Metz and Lens, it was indeed quite embarrassing even though in the early minutes Lens outperformed the match by entering the match in the 13th minute through Floriant Sotoca but Metz was able to restore the situation in the 34th minute and at the end of the first half it was 2-1, This is beyond the expectations of many analysts because Lens should be able to beat Metz if based on their current abilities and experience but it seems to have a different journey this week, it is quite unfortunate because Lens can lose to a team that is at the bottom of the standings with a score of 2-1, seen from Lens statistics in the second half to be very dominating and trying to equalize, But the results speak differently, the Metz squad shifted focus in the second half to use more defensive strategies to maintain their winning position until the end of the league, it can be seen that Lens' second half ball control was more because Metz players did not have much room to play nicely in the second half, but Metz's strategy worked until the second half was over, they maintained their victory and did not care what was thought because they also needed to win to get out of the relegation zone, if you look at them they still have a chance to fight out of the relegation zone and I think they did it for that.

PSG should be able to defeat a team at Clermont's level with the available player material. even though in reality, the coach, Luis Enrique, did not reduce his main players to become the starting eleven. however, it is understandable that Luis Enrique gave more opportunities to 17 year old young players who played on the wing and other young players who played as wing defenders. and as a result, PSG was unable to get full points even though in the second half the main players such as Mbappe and others were introduced. the match ended with a score of 1-1, despite the fact that Paris Saint-Germain fell behind first.

Fortunately, towards the end of the match, Mbappe provided an assist which Goncalo Ramos converted into an equalizer. and yeah, the match ended 1-1. and as we know, the result of this match has no influence at all on PSG's ranking in the Ligue 1 table. And as we all agree, Luis Enrique prioritizes the Champions League quarter-final match against Barcelona later. That's why several of PSG's core players were not the main starters in the match against Clermont. For Lique 1, PSG will not have any significant obstacles. but in the Champions League, PSG needs to concentrate to focus on overthrowing Barcelona. That's why some players save their energy.

PSG in the league are doing very greatly and in that match against Clermont, you would not expect PSG to be struggling as psg are far doing great as they’re clear even on point. In that match over the weekend, PSG rested most of her key players for the UCL game and you can see the difference im the second half

 In the second half, we saw PSG having introduced her major players and you can see the difference in how they played just that they were only able to get a draw in that fixture and it’s not really bad especially as they’re very clear on being the league winners. Mbappe who’s about to leave keep increasing his numbers for the club as he was able to provide an assist that helped PSG get their draw.

 ⁠In the league, I don’t think PSG will be having any difficulty of any sort as they’re in a better position in the league table and as such you can understand why the coach rested most of the club’s key players in this fixture. PSG main target is the ucl and as such they’re are doing everything possible to be able to get to the UCL semi final and probably the final. The club will have to prepare very well because Barcelona won’t be an easy opponent for PSG to face in this round of the competition. I’m very confident that PSG could get something but they’ve got to do more than the ordinary to be able to defeat Barca.

PSG basically has another same copy season as they always do. They will win Ligue one, and they will probably lose at UCL, and that's how they will end the season. This is why PSG fans are not that much mad about Mbappe leaving anymore, they used to believe that with him, they could maybe win UCL but looking at the team, it is obvious that they are not going to win the UCL with him neither, so why keep him?

He is not a change maker, he is not the difference maker, he is the guy who gets paid nearly hundred million a year and the team would get exactly the same result without him as with him, so why keep paying him? I feel like this Barcelona game was the last straw, of course it all depends on the second leg, if PSG wins and goes further, maybe things could change.

If the result had been a draw, PSG might not have been there, but it's natural to be under pressure when the result went in their favour. According to UCL rules, PSG must win the next match in order to advance to the next round, as well as reducing the goal difference to advance on goal difference. If PSG is already 1 goal behind then PSG must score one more goal against Barcelona in the next match and if Barcelona does not score then PSG must score two goals. Where they conceded three goals to go against Barcelona, conceding two goals without conceding any goals in the second leg is a very difficult task. In UCL tournaments, first leg matches are usually very important where PSG have been defeated.

Maybe we'll see a more competitive Ligue 1 next season because the news about Kylian Mbappe's move is getting hotter, what do you think, will PSG still compete in the top 4 next season if Kylian Mbappe leaves PSG?

Mbappe's departure should not be a big problem, because they actually have a better quality team than other clubs, but their dependence on Mbappe is actually a problem for them. If Mbappe leaves then it is very likely that they will also bring in other quality players, especially since they have very good finances which means they can pay whatever players they want.

They should have prepared for this, I mean when they still have star players in their squad at the same time building a solid team. But unfortunately they didn't do that and only focused on a few players. For Mbappe alone, how much of their time did they spend trying to get Mbbape to stay with them, and in the end, Mbappe's decision to leave turned out to be something they couldn't stop anymore. If they used their time for something that could be their future, that would be very good. But once again they don't do that for their future.

Even without the presence of Kylian Mbappe, the current squad of Paris Saint Germaine will still remain the most star studded and expensive team in the whole of France and that's because the club owners have been very active in signing high profile players to the club for more than the last one decade. However, you we can't shy away from the the fact that Kylian Mbappe have easily been the club's overall player since he arrived the club. Kylian Mbappe is a big player that's capable of winning games on his own for the team so when he finally leaves the club, they'll definitely feel his absence no matter how much they try to replace him. Paris Saint Germaine will still continue to dominate the French league after Kylian Mbappe's exit but I think they'll need time to deliver great performances that they do deliver with the presence of the France international

Kylian Mbappe will be a player that Paris Saint German will miss greatly after he leaves the club. He has been the outstanding player in the team since he joined them and it has been like that year after year. His departure from the club will be felt by the whole team but with time, they’re going to fill the void he’s going to leave behind. No much changes will be witnessed in the club even after he leaves because they will still be the top team in the France league and will continue to dominate the league than any other clubs that are in the league. If you can see even in the matches he hasn’t played in, Paris Saint German still remains the best team and continue to win all of their matches they play in. The France league is just like the Bundesliga where only one team dominates it every year not until now that history wants to change in the Bundesliga and give the trophy to another team.

Honestly PSG doesn't feel any pressure at all at Ligue one, the point difference is 10, so it is not like they would care. They could lose this game too and not care about it since it is not going to matter to them. I understand that it may feel like maybe a little different to some people, but that's just the way it is right now. I feel like the best way to go would be making sure that we are going to handle getting better one way or another, and we could probably see the situation change a lot more later on.

I hope that we could probably get a better result, but seems like it is not that easy. I get that it may not look amazing so far, but I believe that we are going to probably end up with a much better result eventually.

The title of Ligue 1 champion definitely belongs to PSG with a difference of 10 points, they, of the remaining 7 matches in Ligue 1 that they have only Nice which is most likely to be their obstacle, it could be that before the Nice - PSG match, PSG has already secured the Ligue 1 title for them.

Maybe we'll see a more competitive Ligue 1 next season because the news about Kylian Mbappe's move is getting hotter, what do you think, will PSG still compete in the top 4 next season if Kylian Mbappe leaves PSG?

PSG can already be confirmed as the winner of the French league 1, just like the previous seasons about PSG, the comparisons and differences that are too far from all the teams in league 1 we cannot deny it.

Rumors about Mbappe's departure are indeed heating up, and to be honest, those interested in Mbappe are very many from big clubs, in terms of potential Mbappe deserves the attention of many big clubs, but the problem is that the price offered is too expensive, which is what causes some of the biggest recruiting Mbappe to think twice because it might eat half of their cash just to buy Mbappe, maybe waiting for a free transfer is much better if the price doesn't drop, but maybe PSG won't be that stupid.

I quite believe without Mbappe in my opinion PSG can still compete in the top 3 of the French league 1.

[QueenVera]

It's true that it was quite surprising. I thought PSG could beat Barcelona even with a narrow score, but instead they were beaten by Barcelona with a narrow score. This is because their performance is quite balanced so they will try to perform as well as possible in home and away matches, playing away isn't it so the obstacle for Barcelona to beat the strongest club in League 1 is basically PSG is not very strong in the Champions League, especially when facing clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich. I think PSG will experience difficulties and the existing PSG will be eliminated by them because In fact, PSG is not a club that is equal to them. We can compare the performance of their respective leagues, where League 1 failed to compete with 5 other popular leagues in Europe.

PSG's performance which is exaggerated in the Champions League because they always have star players and experienced coaches but unfortunately PSG is still unable to show the best performance in the Champions League and is still being beaten by clubs that are stronger than them, who knows when PSG will be able to get this prestigious title Moreover, if Mbappe leaves PSG, it will make things even more difficult for PSG in big competitions, but for League 1 PSG still doesn't have any difficulties even without Mbappe.

PSG woes in the UCL continues as they were not able to even get the least draw in their ground against Barcelona. This has been the major worry of the fans and team board generally on the team’s success in the UCL. They’re just overhyped and the are not always getting to key points in the competition.

 The team is either disqualified im thr Round of 16 or the Quater Finals stage amd that’s been the teams way for a while now and yes Enrique can change the narrative but he needs a properly balanced team and a very good substitution team rather than this average tea he’s having at this point. I think the board shouldn’t put him under pressure because he’s really a good coach with some tactics and I believe he should be given time.

 The result was surprising especially after most of the main players of this psg team were rested during the week and as such we expected them to be up and performing in this match against Barca. The performance of this psg team is really below average probably because they rely majorly on their star player and this ought not to be so.

 ⁠Well I’m happy Mbappe will be leaving by the end of the season, the coach should be anle to make the right change to help this team. The team has the financial capability and getting replacement for Mbappe won’t be an issue rather they should also try to make plans to build a formidable team.

To be honest, we cannot be sure whichteam will be an obstacle forPSG because after all, in the previousmatch when PSG played at home against the team at the bottom of the table, but the result was also a 1-1 draw against Clermont. Therefore, every team certainly has a chance to be an obstacle for PSG but unfortunately, PSG has a good ability to quickly recover and get good results in the next matches. Therefore, in the end PSG will remain atthe top of thestandings and have been able to ensure to get the Ligue 1 trophy this season .But unfortunately, although PSG has been in a safe position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings but yes,thefact is that PSG still failed to get goodresults in the Champion League.

We should feel more better when we have the chances of earning profits from the system, I know it's going to be tough but with acquainted Solis strategies, we can actually become profitable in the system. Paris Saint-Germain are reluctant towards Ligue One games because there's no presence of tough competitive run for the title, PSG continue to smash other opponents without any harden obstacles. Luis Enrique and the rest of the squad knows they're the current champion for the Ligue One this season, however their top target was the UCL title but it looks impossible for them.

[rahmad2nd]

What is interesting for me is the Lyon vs Brestois match, because these two have a gap based on the Ligue 1 standings. Brest is in 2nd place, while Lyon is in 10th place. Uniquely, the odds displayed by the bookies favor the home team Lyon. Lyon with @2.24, while Brest with @3.35. There is a little something strange if you look at the odds presented, even though in fact in the last 5 matches these two teams have been quite equal. In 5 matches, Lyon lost once and so did Brest, both teams also experienced one draw.

However, it seems that Lyon has the potential to overthrow their opposing team considering their performance is starting to improve and they are playing at Lyon's home ground. Lyon is targeting victory to move up to 7th place, eliminating Reims. So, three points at home is the result they must get. On the other hand, if Brest loses, their points will not increase and could potentially be overtaken by the team below them. Unfortunately, the As Monaco vs Lille match had to be postponed. If not, there may be changes in the standings in the 2nd place and below. But let's just wait for the match between Lyon vs Brest which will be held tomorrow, my estimate is that Lyon will overthrow the opposing team.

[Weawant]

If the result had been a draw, PSG might not have been there, but it's natural to be under pressure when the result went in their favour. According to UCL rules, PSG must win the next match in order to advance to the next round, as well as reducing the goal difference to advance on goal difference. If PSG is already 1 goal behind then PSG must score one more goal against Barcelona in the next match and if Barcelona does not score then PSG must score two goals. Where they conceded three goals to go against Barcelona, conceding two goals without conceding any goals in the second leg is a very difficult task. In UCL tournaments, first leg matches are usually very important where PSG have been defeated.

It's actually going to be a really difficult one for PSG a d it may actually cost them their chances of still been in the champions league this season because they are not going to be able to really cope with having to defeat Barcelona well enough as the requirements to get Barcelona out of the way according to the champions league rule, is most definitely not an easy one that PSG can just pull through after first loosing at home.

Although there's some good level of accuracy in your analysis but then i still think there's something missing in that PSG actually has a very slim chance of qualifying and Barcelona will definitely not allow their selves to still crash out after been this much at the verge of winning the trophy this season, they are most definitely not going to mess up this opportunity as PSG will have to win Barcelona with two goals margin to be able to cancel the goals Barcelona already have and tht will mean that Barcelona must not score any goal in their home which is almost not possible.

Barcelona is most definitely not going to allow PSG alone do all the scoring in their home not after knowing what it entails and how much it could cost them, it's most likely that game may end in a draw and if it eventually does, then Barcelona is most definitely moving to the semi finals while this may just be the end of the champions league journey for PSG this season but they are very sure to still be in the Champions league next season same as Barcelona.

Unexpected result for Lens how possibility defeated by relegation zone teams Metz, get more difficult for Lens raise top fourth standings and repeat their achievement last season by qualifying to champion league. Leading one goals on the early minutes but Lens failed for defending the winning result and put their self will raise one spot for Europe League or champion league?

Exactly, it's unexpected match result.
In fact, the only goal Lens got in the match was a penalty goal in the early minutes. But unfortunately, they weren't even able to add another goal during the course of the match. Even though Lens dominated the match, they really dominated. Even if we look at it, it seems impossible that Metz could score a goal because the ball seems to be always at the feet of a Lens player. So, Metz has very few chances. They only rely on counterattacks when they really have a chance. And they succeeded/ The proof is that even with such a small percentage of the ball, their attacks turned out to be quite numerous and were able to destroy Lens' defense. I'm sure this is not just luck for Metz, but indeed in this match, Metz has done their best.

[Silence Scream]

That was unexpected from Lens to lose against the worst team in Ligue 1 after Clermont Foot..
Lens started the season horribly and now this defeat? The worst part is that they were leading by one goal for most part of the first half, in addition to not being able to score from some attacks.
They might not lose their position in the table this round but this will allow the other teams to get closer from them..

Leading one goals on the early minutes but Lens failed for defending the winning result and put their self will raise one spot for Europe League or champion league?
Metz has good capital for facing 5 matches left and try to defend in Ligue 1 competition next season, has too close points with Lorient, Nantes and Le Havre still has chance for Mets get out from relegation zone and get chance with relegation playoff round if fail moving up from relegation standings.

This loss is a big problem for Lens. Nobody expected them to suffer this defeat. Meanwhile, Metz became hopeful with this win. There is only a 2 point difference between them and the 14th ranked team in the league. The relegation zone can change at any time, there is a very different race to avoid relegation.

Clubs that are in the relegation zone are sometimes able to provide unexpected surprises. They try to perform as well as possible against whoever their opponent is, regardless of whether the club is strong or not, but what is clear is that Metz will take advantage of the time that there are few matches left. This has often happened when we look at clubs that are at the bottom of the table are able to give a surprise by winning against top clubs like what Metz did against Lens. This was a very important victory for Metz even though initially Metz conceded a goal before Lens, but that didn't dampen the mentality of the Metz players, they didn't just gave up and put up fierce resistance to Lens.

Indeed, Lens really regrets this because they failed to beat a club that was in the relegation zone even though this was an opportunity for him to continue collecting as many points as possible to be able to take him to the Champions League like last season, but it seems like Lens is only able to fight to get a Europa League ticket. Apart from that, he also has to get past Nice and Lille, while the difference between Lens from 4th place is 6 points.

This was a very disappointing result for Lens because they had to lose to one of the teams in the relegation zone, I don't think they could lose like that. Metz succeeded in implementing a very solid defense in this match, yes, they managed to repel every attack launched by Metz, so that Metz was able to secure the lead they got in the first half.
Even though Lens could have scored first, Metz could have responded better. Even in terms of the opportunities they got, Metz actually carried out attacks more effectively than Lens. I don't know whether this happened because Lens underestimated their opponents or not, but what is clear is that it is nothing new in Ligue 1 that there are teams that make a lot of inconsistencies.

[mammusu]

Rennes could not secure their victory at home after narrowly losing to visiting Toulouse. I predicted at the start that Rennes would be able to win this match, or at least draw, but it turns out I was wrong with my prediction, because they were the ones who had to suffer defeat in front of the public themselves.

In terms of their game, they were actually quite balanced, in fact I saw Rennes playing a little better, but Toulouse could be lucky because they could score 2 goals in this match, while Rennes could only score 1 goal and in the end had to be satisfied with defeat. Even though Rennes was able to score a goal first, Toulouse only needed 2 minutes to reply to their goal, and 10 minutes later they were able to turn things around.

This result means they can't get closer to 5th place in the standings, even though their opportunity is open after the team above them also couldn't win in week 29.
