French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Google+]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[bitLeap]

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.

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.

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.

In my opinion there is nothing easy for these two teams facing the battle to reach the final phase. Both PSG and Dortmund will be careful and use all their abilities. In the Domestic League PSG has a schedule and it is not a difficult thing to live up to, leading by a difference of 13 points so PSG can prepare more, while Dortmund situation is different in Bundesliga the responsibility to not lose points is equally important. Dortmund must chase the top 4 positions for UCL tickets next season and the opponents they will face will not be easy, especially Leverkusen and Leipzig. Therefore Dortmund is required to work harder than PSG in domestic leagues. As we know PSG in League 1 just needs to sit back and relax, without even getting 3 points, Brest still can't catch up.

[Strongkored]

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.

Not really sure what the difference is between finishing in second and third place because at least this position will both get a position in the champions league for next season, maybe as a matter of prestige yes because of course it will be a good record for the club, but if Monaco loses or draws this match they still have a postponed match against Lille which, if they can be won, will again close the point gap with Brest.
It can be said that both teams have the same opportunity to get three points in this match, but my prediction is that this will be a match that ends in a draw with both teams scoring goals, because Monaco is a quite productive team but their defense is the part that makes Monaco lose quite a lot of points so can no longer continue to compete with PSG for the title this season, so Brest can scoring.
The odds for the double chance Brest/draw are quite low at around @1.49, but the chances are quite good to win this bet.

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.

PSG only has to think about the match in the UCL semifinals without having to worry anymore about their position in League 1 because here PSG is still more dominant in winning the match. And they also have quite a lot of points so there is no need to be afraid of being overtaken by their rivals again, so what PSG needs to think about from now on is how to beat the Dortmund team in the semifinals so that PSG can qualify for the Champions League final for this season even though I'm also not really sure that PSG will win the Champions League this season.

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.

well, your opinion is very reasonable, if Enrique really wants to give good results for PSG, he should prioritize UCL matches over League 1 because whatever happens in League 1 will belong to PSG.
Enrique must really take advantage of this opportunity very well even though it is difficult to predict Dortmund performance but as long as Enrique is able to rotate players very well it will definitely produce good results and don't let PSG lose in this semi final because if Dortmund qualify for the final it will be the same such as making it easier for Madrid to get the UCL title.

opportunities like this don't come all the time and PSG needs very solid teamwork to be able to get this prestigious title and all the players will definitely be proud to be able to win the UCL title together even though it is a little difficult to overcome this obstacle.

[MusaMohamed]

well, your opinion is very reasonable, if Enrique really wants to give good results for PSG, he should prioritize UCL matches over League 1 because whatever happens in League 1 will belong to PSG.

This is a third time PSG have chances to play in Champions League semi finals and they will be seriously with these matches. One of most important matches in their club history and they will fight for a second Champions League final match. A first final match ends with a failure but PSG don't stop trying and now they are very closely to a second final match.

With this important task for Champions League and with big advantage they have in Ligue 1, they will not take risk with star players in Ligue 1 matches. Champions League is more important for PSG after they already won many Ligue 1 titles and don't need to get too many points to win another domestic title this season.

Enrique must really take advantage of this opportunity very well even though it is difficult to predict Dortmund performance but as long as Enrique is able to rotate players very well it will definitely produce good results and don't let PSG lose in this semi final because if Dortmund qualify for the final it will be the same such as making it easier for Madrid to get the UCL title.

Dortmund are not weak because they just won over Atletico Madrid in quarter finals but Dortmund are still more easier opponent for PSG than Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. PSG have very good chance to go to the final match with Dortmund as their opponent in semi finals.

These clubs have two matches in early of season with one draw and one win for Dortmund. PSG must watch these direct matches with Dortmund again as well as other matches of Dortmund to prepare for upcoming semi final matches. They must analyze weakness of Dortmund and of themselves, to have best preparation.

You're right, this is a great chance for PSG. They have a great record in the league and Enrique is a great coach. That kind of confidence is very important in the Champions League. Mbappe is without a doubt one of the best players in the world right now. It might be the key for them. However Dortmund is not a joke. They just beat Atletico, which was a tough team. Thats what PSG needs to do. What do I say? Do not risk anything. For this size of game, its all about the little things. There's no room for careless errors. Each team has the skills and drive to win the whole thing, so this is a real fight.

[bering]

Marseille will playing away against Toulouse today and actually i was underestimate Marseille because previously they gets several poor results in all competitions but it was very fantastics because they can able to fliped my prediction and Marseille can win from Benfica at Europa League although Marseille have to hard struggling to beat Benfica i think their performance is very impressive and today i want to see whether Marseille can able to extended their positive results or not but Marseille is really required more points to improved their position on League Table

I think Marseille should beware of Toulouse because the performance of this team is much better compared to them even in the last 3 matches of Ligue 1 Toulouse can gets 2 wins and 1 draw and actually if Marseille can able to performing well i think it's not hard to beat Toulouse because previously they have done it several times and the odds for Marseille is quite high to bets @2.90 but i am not sure this option could be the best pick for this match or not considering Marseille performance is really unstable this season but for safe bet i think both teams to scores is good

In essence, PSG's great moment was only in the 2019/2020 season, because PSG managed to qualify for the final match against Bayern Munich but unfortunately, at that time PSG lost by Bayern Munich even though only with a thin score of 1-0. But yes, in the following season or in the 2020/2021 season PSG failed in the semifinals because PSG lost by Manchester City and yes, those were two good seasons for PSG because PSG managed to qualify for the semifinals and finals. But unfortunately in the next two seasons PSG always failed and in this season, PSG again managed to qualify for the semifinals and yes, it is possible that PSG has a chance to qualify for the final again this season. Although indeed, Dortmund is also not an easy opponent but yes, at least PSG is in a better situation in Ligue 1 and therefore, then of course PSG can maximize it in the Champion League.

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.

PSG vs Dortmund in the UCL semifinals again after they’ve both faced off each other in the group stage phase of this year’s ucl with psg being the better team. I think this year’s Ucl will be no different because psg seems to be in a bery comfortable position than this Dortmund side whilst they head into this fixture.
 
 PSG will be solely focusing on this competition and as such you can only imagine how top their preparation will be whilst they head into this competition as compared to Dortmund. Dortmund are in a fierce competition for top 4 spot in the league and as such which simply means they’ll be battling out on both this one and the UCL also which means a shift in their preparation ahead of this UCL encounter.

 ⁠With this double preparations Dortmund will have to encounter, this doesn’t give psg the room to underestimate Dortmund because they could be able to hurt them just like they did to Athletico Madrid. PSG haven’t yet been able to reach the level of teams like Real Madrid that you’ll be so sure that they’ll be able to overcomr this challenge.

 Theyre sure of the league and them reaching the finals is one dream of the fans as that will show how much improvement the team has faced in this season as that could probably be a big boost as they approach the new season. I hope psg takes this match serious as I would love to see them in the ucl finals against Real Madrid.

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.

Lyon's revival in the second half of this season was indeed very impressive, starting from performing poorly in every match, but now Lyon is able to appear impressive with consecutive wins until they are currently in the top 10, Lyon's revival can be said to be fast, they also don't give up even though they are quite far behind and Lyon proves that he is not a weak club in league 1. Maybe at the start of this season he experienced a slight setback, but after changing coaches that doesn't mean there are no changes.

PSG is quite a tough opponent for Lyon and maybe this time Lyon is having a little difficulty against the strongest club in League 1, but looking at Lyon's performance, it looks like he could get a draw. PSG might rotate their players by using second division players because their key players will be secured. to prepare for the semifinal match in the UCL and if this is true it will be an opportunity for Lyon to win this match.

[Palakka]

You're right, this is a great chance for PSG. They have a great record in the league and Enrique is a great coach. That kind of confidence is very important in the Champions League. Mbappe is without a doubt one of the best players in the world right now. It might be the key for them. However Dortmund is not a joke. They just beat Atletico, which was a tough team. Thats what PSG needs to do. What do I say? Do not risk anything. For this size of game, its all about the little things. There's no room for careless errors. Each team has the skills and drive to win the whole thing, so this is a real fight.

Let's see if PSG can repeat their farthest journey in the Champions League like in 2020 or not at all, their chances of advancing to a certain final are wide open now after they made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League, PSG's journey to reach the final round is only two steps away but even so Dortmund will be a big obstacle for them to reach the final round,  We all cannot deny if PSG's success in advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League cannot be separated from their luck after Barcelona suffered a red card in the second leg of the quarterfinals, for now of course Dortmund is not an easy opponent that PSG might be able to beat even though Dortmund is in bad condition in the Bundesliga.

PSG And Dortmund currently benefit by no longer having to think about their position in the domestic league, PSG will certainly no longer be distracted by 8 points from Monaco ranked second in Ligue 1 at this time, while Dortmund will instead focus on the Champions League because their chances in the Bundesliga for the title of course have been impossible, so that we can be sure if PSG and Dortmund will fully focus on destroying each other in the first leg later and according to I both teams at the moment have a balanced performance so it's difficult to predict who will win.

Paris Saint Germaine have been the dominant club in the French league for over the last one decade and have won the league title in the last seven consecutive seasons but despite their dominance in France, they've struggled to replicate same feat in Europe. Their best record in the UEFA Champions League competition was when they managed to reach the final of the competition in 2019/20 season before they were beaten in the final by eventual winners Bayern Munich. This season, they've reached the semi final of the competition after eliminating their quarter finals opponent Barcelona and will now face Borussia Dortmund in the semi finals of the competition.
I think they have all it takes to reach the final of the competition but my fear about the Paris Saint Germaine team is if they'll be able to beat either of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final of the competition. Historically, those two clubs have achieved great success in the competition and beating them in the final will be a very difficult task for Paris Saint Germaine if you ask me

[Ryu_Ar1]

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 .

This assumption should be corrected immediately because after all for this season in the Champions League the fact that Dortmund made it to the semi-finals to beat Atletico is a very good achievement and underestimating them and not considering them there just because the opponent is PSG is a wrong thing.

Both clubs are still the same in terms of schemes where they still give space to young players to explore on the field because in terms of squad PSG and Dortmund are still quite balanced except the difference only lies in Mbappe for now, the rest is nothing different from their squad.
In terms of performance in the Champions League, both are still quite good so it would be a shame to underestimate Dortmund for this competition.

I am one of those people who say that PSG will easily destroy Dortmund to be fair, which means that PSG will have literally just a single game left after that. Don't get me wrong, this is football and anything could happen and Dortmund could still beat PSG in a two game series, knock off stages are always a bit different and even a worse team could beat PSG in a shocking result, things are not always that obvious.

However, let's be honest and see the elephant in the room, Dortmund is the worst team between all the teams that are left and I believe that PSG is high high favourites of this series as well which means they SHOULD be getting the win. If that's the case, Mbappe and PSG could have a last dance and get UCL together before he leaves.

[Jossque]

Rennes ended their 3-week winless streak in the league yesterday. Rennes managed to get 3 points with 3 goals away from Nantes and increased their points to 42. Although Lens' win does not change the point difference between them, it seems that we will follow the struggle between them until the last week.
Lens, on the other hand, hosted Clermont, a potential relegation team, at home. Lens, who won the match with a single goal at home, maintained their position in the league. If Clermont had won this game, they would have scored an important 3 points for them. It looks like the last 4 weeks of the league will be exciting.

I think football is beyond a mere discussion and imagination but the real deal is what happens on the pitch until the final whistle because over the years football predictions are becoming more difficult day by day, Dortmund performance this season is below average in the league since they are not among the top4 club in the German league but they defeated ATM in the champions league who could have imagined that since they are in poor form. Coming against another team that is not in a very decent shape even though they are real dominant of French ligue1 but they're underperforming this season despite being the league winners which is very possible but playing against Dortmund I think it's going to be a 50:50 game and the team with better opportunities to score goals will win.

PSG should get through to the finals if they show a better performance with the number of players they have got especially them key player Mbappe who's always carrying the game on him and getting goals when it is needed most but they shouldn't underestimate Dortmund because they see the champions league as their only hope of playing the champions league next season.
