French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Ryu_Ar1]

personally, I actually want PSG to qualify for the final round and the reason for this is because I just want to see how PSG will play against the strongest team in the UCL at the moment and whether PSG can match Real Madrid performance.

PSG's chances are still very big now even though their opponent is Dortmund, which is a new club just like PSG, which has just stepped into the semi-finals after all this time competing in the Champions League.

The chance is still quite large now for PSG, only their mentality must be tested whether in the end they are able or not to do that because in the end for the current semi-finals apart from the strength of the players and performance, of course, there is an important mentality that must be maintained.
As long as Enrique can improve the mentality of the PSG players well then the final is not a big problem but if their mentality falters because of playing in the semi-finals then surely it will be difficult even Dortmund could win in the semi-finals later.

When it comes to the UEFA Champions League competition, Borussia Dortmund isn't the kind of club that can be easily beaten as most of their players aren't new to the competition. They know how to pull up big surprises in the competition and will also be putting their best when they face Paris Saint Germaine in their two-legged semi final encounter. However, I think the French champions are more formidable and star-studded than their German champions and that's why I'll be backing Paris Saint Germaine to win the tie and progress to the final of the competition.
This will be Kylian Mbappe's last season as a Paris Saint Germaine player and the France national team captain is trying to make sure he leaves the club in a grand style which winning the UEFA Champions title will be the best way to achieve that.

And at least, this time, they're closer to doing it. Or at least, it seems like their chances of getting into the finals are very high. Not to underestimate Dortmund.

They need to secure Ligue 1 trophy as soon as possible to have full focus on their biggest ambition of winning the Champions League. Dortmund may seem struggle in their league, but they are so different in Champions League. Dortmund survived for a tough group stage, showed their resilience and determination in the knock out stage. I think both teams have equal chance to reach the final.

But for now, PSG's position is actually quite good, with a gap in points from its competitors in the French League. At least, they need a 10 point difference between PSG and the runners up, Brest. And with the number of matches still less than 4 matches left, I think PSG can actually be said to have become champions. However, PSG must establish their consistency so that they can always win in every match they play.

PSG made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season and at least one step away for PSG to reach the final round of the Champions League, many say that previously Atletico Madrid were lucky enough to meet Dortmund who were the weakest team in the quarterfinals, but in fact we can see how Dortmund can eliminate Atletico Madrid to go to the semi-finals this season,  Although able to reach the semi-finals of course today we also still see how Dortmund were underestimated when they met PSG now, I think it should not be for PSG to underestimate Dortmund because after all Dortmund is a team that is unpredictable in every game, to be honest compared to PSG, I am more inclined to see Dortmund who will go to the final because so far Dortmund a compact team and they have an even quality of players in every line.

Yes, of course, at UCL, no one should underestimate other competitors. Because sometimes, their performance in the UCL and also in their respective domestic leagues is quite different and surprising. For this reason, they must always be alert in every match, whoever their opponent is. including Dortmund for PSG this time. PSG actually has a good chance, at least Mbappe might actually help make it happen. However, we'll see who will advance to the actual final round.

Lyon has reached as high as seventh place, and they are looking like at least a conference league team level at this point, they may reach those levels, sixth goes to conference league I believe. I mean it is just not normal for a team to be as bad as they used to be and then suddenly be this good for the rest of the season.

I have to say no other team played as well as Lyon did for the second half of the season, not just in France but I think in no other league neither, Lyon managed to get a win streak that is unexpected and nobody saw them as this good. The fact that if you wagered on them to win their games, you would be in big profit right now, should be what we need to care about, and betting on them to win again would be insane.

To be honest, although Lyon managed to get better in the second half of the season, but when I chose or bet for Lyon to win, the results sometimes Lyon still lost and also only got a draw. Therefore, although Lyon managed to improve its position in the Ligue 1 standings but still, when it comes to betting, it will certainly still experience bad luck because Lyon also sometimes fails to get a victory in each match. But indeed, about Lyon's success out of the relegation zone is clearly very impressive result because after all, Lyon not only got out of the relegation zone, but Lyon also has a very good chance of finishing in the top six.

Checking the performance of Lyon and comparing Lyon in the first and second half of the season, Lyon had good performance in the games we saw from them in the second half and after the new year while at the start of the season, they were completely disappointing. While I don't know what was the reason for Lyon's improvement and what was the reason for it. Because as far as I know, Lyon didn't change anything. The only possibility is their coach Pierre Sage, maybe he just needed to have more time to get better results.

Sometimes we experience such bets, I feel we bet on a team why most of what I get is getting bad luck and the team we bet on is losing while when we are indifferent the team is winning continuously, maybe that's what you feel about Lyon sir, but if you bet on Lyon's last five matches, of course, you will get 4 wins and 1 loss if you bet on Lyon's victory because there is a draw in the last five matches.

Yes we quite appreciate Lyon who has risen from the previous relegation zone now in 8th place in the French league 1 standings this week, but I'm not so sure Lyon can catch Lens this season, time is not enough if calculated properly.

PSG's chances are still very big now even though their opponent is Dortmund, which is a new club just like PSG, which has just stepped into the semi-finals after all this time competing in the Champions League.

I personally don't see Dortmund as a threat enough for PSG especially if they too can aswell have same mentality as this is the opportunity for them they have always wanted to get to the champions league finals because Dortmund isn't even looking like they will be able to successfully contend PSG and get a victory from them by the end of the game because they have been really wanting an opportunity as this.

Dortmund has been a team that in the bundesliga they used to be a top team of which they still are,r hey used to be the second top team after Bayern Munich but then the birth of this new erea where the bigger teams are been displaced seem to be taking a toll on them because they are not even looking like the big teams they uses to be in the bundesliga before this season. The champions league is actually looking different in their performance just like their counterpart Bayern Munich but then the french giant is willing to send them parking from the champions league.

Dortmund may actually not be able to get pass this stage of the Champions league except they will be able to stay ahead of PSG  and then it's been the biggest dream of PSG to be able to win the champions league a d now this seems like a perfect opportunity for them of which they are not even looking like they are going to give it up for anything a d I'm very optimistic about their performance and they are actually my favourite .

In the future, if PSG can build their squad as well as possible and really utilize their capabilities financially, there is big possibility that competitions like the UCL will have chance to win.
By the way, this season they managed to reach the semifinals of the UCL and this is big achievement for team like PSG, but I doubt they will be able to get the title because there is Real Madrid which is giant in holding the most UCL titles.

PSG has financial capabilities and is one of the richest clubs in the world. I don't think it's difficult for them to bring in any of the best players in the world. But honestly, I am very grateful for the rules of financial fair play. This rule means that super rich clubs cannot monopolize star players with their unlimited money. Of course they can still use their money to negotiate with any player. I hope they can make a better squad composition next season so they can still appear competitive in the UCL. Actually, the current squad is extraordinary because it was able to reach the semifinals. They even have the opportunity to play in the final. But they will lose Mbappe next season so as you said they must be able to utilize their financial capabilities to get some good players, be they strikers or other positions.

PSG is definitely a very rich club financially and PSG is definitely ready to spend a lot of money on their club. In other seasons we have seen PSG spend a lot of money but despite spending enough money they didn't get the desired results only because they didn't have a good quality manager in the club and because they didn't have a good quality manager they were just spending money in the wrong place. They lacked an experienced manager for a long time, but they have filled that gap so far. From the day they put Luis Enrique in charge of their team, we had a feeling that this team would do well. To be aware, there are very few good quality stars in PSG but still Luis Enrique qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League with this team, it is a very big thing.

We should be ready to accept defeats if our favorite club is still in thr UEFA Champions League till this moment. Paris Saint-Germain have always been the leading team and they've tried with their best to ensure they're winning every mediocre team in league matches, does that extend to the UEFA Champions League? Ofcourse if does. Luis Enrique have to be extremely careful with his opponents in the UCL semi final. PSG eliminated Barcelona and now they're coming for Borrusia Dortmund, a game that will be filled with suspense.

PSG has qualified for the semifinals and will do their best in this round, they may still have a chance to win the title with their golden boy Kylian Mbappe for the last time, therefore PSG got lucky in the quarter-finals when they beat Barcelona. and now PSG has to fight harder against even tougher opponents in the semifinals, maybe not with luck but PSG has to fight as hard as they can to beat Dortmund, as we know Bundesliga clubs Dortmund and Bayern Munich both have the ambition to win the Champions League title because There are no more opportunities in the Bundesliga, especially as Dortmund might consider PSG to be quite an easy opponent, whereas PSG also consider Dortmund to be quite an easy opponent.

PSG will indeed continue to be the number 1 club in League 1 thanks to this performance. They also have to show good performance in international competitions so that they don't continue to be underestimated. For an elite club like PSG, the richest club in League 1, they also have no shortage of potential players, so if they are really Being able to become champions this season in the Champions League and League 1 would be the most amazing achievement in PSG's history, like last season where Manchester City was able to win the Champions League title for the first time and at the same time won the treble.

[rahmad2nd]

everyone will say that PSG will be able to beat Dortmund and indeed in terms of players PSG is much more qualified but we have to look at the luck of PSG who was able to beat Barcelona only by luck and a surprise like this could happen to Dortmund who will beat PSG.
even though PSG are the favorites in the UCL at the moment, at least don't let Enrique underestimate Dortmund because it could result in defeat if you underestimate him too much because after all, Dortmund also has good experience in the UCL.

personally, I actually want PSG to qualify for the final round and the reason for this is because I just want to see how PSG will play against the strongest team in the UCL at the moment and whether PSG can match Real Madrid performance.

Previously these two teams had met in the group phase, now these two teams met again in the semifinals. previously, PSG beat Dortmund at the Parc des Princes, drawing at Signal Iduna Park. well, talking about Dortmund, their performance has been up and down, both in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga. Currently Dortmund has to focus on two competitions at once, the Bundesliga and the Champions League. thus, Paris Saint-Germain has an advantage over Dortmund, which also has to finish in the top four in its domestic league. at the same time, Paris Saint-Germain is much safer because they are 10 points ahead of the team below them. which means, Luis Enrique can focus his team on the Champions League semifinal match. apart from that, currently Paris Saint-Germain is starting to play quite well and neatly, they have a good chance of overthrowing Dortmund even though they are playing away from home.

But what you say is true, I'm sure Enrique will not underestimate Dortmund even though they are superior. after all, this is momentum for PSG with the existing squad. because for me personally, Paris Saint-Germain has not yet reached its true level. I mean, Enrique still needs several newcomers as a team requirement to become a team that is much stronger than this season. so, Paris Saint-Germain will go all out no matter what team they are facing. and Enrique and his squad should not have wasted this semi-final match in order to qualify for the final phase of the Champoins League. in Ligue 1, PSG will retain its title.

[rendravolt]

The only exciting match this week is between hosts Brest who will face Monaco in Week 30 of Ligue One and of course this will be a battle for position between the two teams with only a 1 point difference. Statistically, the last 5 matches are actually not much different, it's just that Monaco is slightly better, but when it comes to superiority, Brest will be superior considering that they have full support from fans.

On the other hand, if we look at the H2H here, Monaco is very superior and even if they play away from home, it looks like they won't have any problems. I'm curious about who will win and maybe if the two teams counter each other's attacks the result will be a draw with goals scored. I wouldn't bet on either team, I think it's quite risky and I would bet on the result of over 2.5 goals.

First half of this season, they mostly spend their time at the bottom which was their worst ever start in last 50 years and things were going terribly wrong but now in last 13 matches we have good recovery even now in form they are at the top with having the good number of points which bring them into top half of the league table even now they are doing their best for having UEFA event connection even this is looking not coming but still their performance and consistency is having new level of quality which is impressive.

But, one thing is sure as we have positive change and coach is doing good job with this all things are looking positive for their performance in next season which could be much better and challenging for the few other teams which are lurking at the top spots even their performance is not as good as they needed hopefully we will have good improvement in performance which will create good competition.

Winning this game is really crucial for Brest to consolidate their position in the standings. Because Monaco are one point behind maybe but they have a missing game to play on one hand. They can turn things into their advantage if they even get a draw in this game this evening. The odds are like below.



There are some important players not expected to play for Monaco side. This also makes Brest's odds for the win more tempting to me.    The chances are considered very close but I think Brest can win this game by a slight margin like 1-0 or 2-1. They would have their revenge on the previous 2-0 defeat as well by that.

This is a very serious stage for PSG and looking back at how devoted this players were while playing Barcelona means Luis Enrique is doing a good job at PSG and since PSG is in a comfortable position at the top of the league now, they will give more priority to their match against Borussia Dortmund because for Borussia Dortmund to eliminate Atletico Madrid means they are up to something which PSG needs more carefulness if not something strange might happen to them.

Kylian Mbappe is the most valuable player for PSG and they are keen to watch him deliver good tasks for the club. PSG ranked first on the table and it will be very difficult for them if they failed and underestimate Borrusia Dortmund in the UCL semi final. An important phase for Les Parisiens to grab the winnings level by level. Luis Enrique is doing a great job for Paris Saint-Germain this season but he's yet to accomplish the goals that's been mapped out for the team.

It cannot be denied that Mbappe plays an important role in Paris Saint Germain's game so far, he is the player who shines the most with Paris Saint Germain, so it is very natural that Paris Siant Germain insists on wanting Mbppe to stay with them. Now they are in the semifinals of the Champions League, this is one of their chances to advance to the final round by beating Borussia Dortmund in this round.

I have one question about Mbappe, all this time he has been very adamant about leaving Paris Saint Germain. I wonder if Paris Saint Germain managed to win the Champions League this season, would Mbappe change his mind about leaving?
I myself speculate that most likely he will stick with his initial decision, especially since the team he will visit is Real Madrid, which we know is his dream team since childhood. I don't think it will matter even if Paris Saint Germain succeeds in becoming Champions League champions for the first time.

It makes sense, especially if Brest wins this match it will make the difference to 4 points from Monaco. Certainly finishing in 2nd place will be Brest's priority this season and this can continue if they remain consistent in the next season. I don't think Monaco will give up that easily even though several of their players are absent and on the other hand, if they can hold on to a draw it will make the competition in the standings even more exciting.

The actual betting odds are not much different and in my opinion it would be quite risky to hope for victory on one of the teams. But from me, I would probably take a double chance for Brest considering that a draw is still quite open even if they fail to win.

In today's match in French Soccer League, Nice vs Lorient two teams entered the field to play. In this match, Nice team scored 3 goals and Lorient team did not score any goals. Nice player M. Sanson scored 1st goal in 22 minutes and I. Touré scored 2nd goal in 53 minutes.  .After half time E. Guessand scored the 3rd goal in 89 minutes to win the match. I won the bet by placing a bet in favor of Nice team in this match.

It was a nice home game, so I was really expecting much from them, and again Lorient is a very weak team, so I did not expect them to give Nice a tough time. So, I was not really surprised about Nice winning them with 3 goals. In fact, I even expected them to score more than these 3 goals. Even Lorient really played well yesterday because it was not the way I was expecting Nice to control the match. Lorient gave them room to operate; they tried their best, but it was very hard for them to stop Nice from winning those 3 points yesterday. In fact, that is the moment Lorient has to put in extra effort if they want to escape this season's relegation.

In the first half of this season, we have extraordinary performance from the Nice which was clearly indicating they could be stayed into top three spots but sadly in last ten games we have the worst performance from them which bring them from second to 5th which is really shameful with now we have no chance for them to bring themselves to the top three spots as their attack is one of the worst into Ligue 1 which is giving them problems, and they are not able to have wins with consistency.

Lorient is one of the worst team in this season with their defense is also worst as they concede 55 goals which are most in this season for any team just because of this we are having 3 goals from the team like Nice against them hopefully now in next game against Marseille we will have good performance from the Nice which will give them good booster for staying into top six teams.

I wouldn't bet on either team, I think it's quite risky and I would bet on the result of over 2.5 goals.

Brest's performance and achievements this season in Ligue 1 are indeed very extraordinary, Brest who are always at the bottom of every season but this season they surprised us all by being in second place in the Ligue 1 standings, Brest is indeed unable to compete with PSG in the race for the championship but I think just reaching the second rank is an extraordinary achievement for Brest at this time,  Moreover, they have the opportunity to be able to play in the Champions League next season and against Monaco will certainly be quite a decisive match for Brest.

I think the head to head of the two teams we cannot make a reference because after all the head was more dominant in the previous season when Brest was at the bottom of the table, while for this season of course we can see Brest's performance even above Monaco, for now of course Brest has high confidence to be able to beat Monaco at home,  The defeat from Lyon must of course not be repeated by Brest if they really want to keep their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season, because for now Brest and Monaco are only 1 point and 4 points apart from Lille who are currently ranked 4, victory must be achieved by Brest otherwise their position and chances are threatened by Lille.

personally, I actually want PSG to qualify for the final round and the reason for this is because I just want to see how PSG will play against the strongest team in the UCL at the moment and whether PSG can match Real Madrid performance.

Every time we can't be relayed on luck because most of the time we need better performance and quality which is more important with current performance and consistency we can give some advantage to PSG but still things could be not easy because Borussia Dortmund is good club, and they are also having few players those can change the match situation with their own even we are having good faith in win of the PSG but still things could be challenging for the both sides.

Luis Enrique is doing good job and as he is improving things for the Champions League we can expect PSG could be soon in list of the Champions League winners but now here we need better things from the management as well because their faith to coach could be increase his confidence and performance of the team and players could be also improved as well.
