French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Blitzboy]

If PSG is without Mbappe, it will open up opportunities for other teams to compete with PSG in the race for the title. During Mbapee time with PSG, we have seen the fact that it is very difficult for other teams to decide PSG's position in the title race in each season. Well, I think if PSG can win the UCL trophy this season, there is a big possibility that Mbappe will stay with PSG, but if he fails, Mbappe will leave for another team next season.

It is impossible for them not to look for another striker with the same level of quality in the transfer market. I heard rumors that Osimhen will play for PSG next season in Mbappe's place. Osimhen is one of the best strikers at the moment. Without Mbappe, I think it will still be difficult for other teams to compete with PSG.

Mbappe wants to play for Real Madrid. It has been his favorite club for a long time. He wants to create many records with Madrid, just like his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Even if PSG win the UCL this season I don't think it will change the fact that Mbappe wants to play with Real Madrid next season.

PSG needs to find someone to replace Mbappe RIGHT NOW. As for Osimhen, I see what you mean. His strength and speed could help close some of the gap. I've seen him play. But Mbappe is a whole other level. You cant just buy that Champions League magic. When you're wearing the PSG shirt, you have to be ready to take on the world. Trust me, it takes a certain type of player.

[hahay]

when everyone is too busy discussing PSG and Mbappe, they forget that yesterday there was a profitable match that was missed like Lens vs Lorient.
I don't know if anyone is betting on this match but this is in accordance with my previous predictions which I have replied to in this thread and the results are very tense but very profitable to get big odds after Lens was able to beat Lorient with a score of 2-0 and this is really true A very good opportunity for Lens to get 3 additional points because Lens knows that Lorient is in a very bad condition and has been on a losing streak.
It seems that this time Lorient is really down, if you look at recent performances, this has given a sign that Lorient may have to leave League 1.

anyone who watched yesterday's match will certainly not be interested because Lens dominated the match and on the one hand Lorient was unable to provide any resistance to Lens so Lorient was unable to score in yesterday's match.

I personally still place bets on teams or other matches in Ligue 1 but unfortunately, sometimes I forget to place bets due to busy work in the real life. Like the match between Monaco v Clermont yesterday and I had realized beforehand and was going to place a bet the next day but unfortunately, I was so busy that I forgot. But yes, congrats to you for winning the bet but indeed, Lens basically has a good performance and head to head record as well compared to Lorient. Therefore, it is certainly a victory target that must be obtained by Lens in the home match against Lorient, because Lorient at this moment is also in the relegation zone and Lorient also seems to have been confirmed to be relegated.

But I sure that in the second leg match PSG will definitely get an absolute victory and they will be able to surpass Dortmund 1 point deficit in the aggregate.
My prediction is that PSG will win the semifinals and they will be in the final against Real Madrid, but it is impossible for PSG to beat Real Madrid if they actually meet in the final.

PSG was able to do that when they faced Barcelona previously with an aggregate that PSG could surpass, in the second leg match PSG actually gave Barcelona a surprise, I think Dortmund also knows that and they will play carefully when facing PSG in the second leg match later because PSG It could be difficult for Dortmund because they are playing in front of all their supporters in France, Mbappe and his friends will definitely learn from their failure in the previous first leg match where they found it very difficult to score a goal against Dortmund.

PSG should be able to overcome this and get rid of Dortmund in the second leg. If they fail, of course their efforts will be in vain. They have already reached the semi-finals and Dortmund must fail. I think PSG really has to play more seriously and Enrique will definitely change all his tactics. and strategy to get a win against Dortmund in the second leg, I also hope that PSG can meet Madrid in the UCL final because in my opinion it's better than seeing Munich and Dortmund in the UCL final as two teams from Germany who have managed to survive until now. this and fight to reach the final.

[dezoel]

Sometime ago in this same thread, I said that Paris Saint Germaine will definitely remain the the strongest team in the French league with or without Kylian Mbappe because they have many other top class footballers in the team but will still miss the services of the France international because in his absence, Paris Saint Germaine will not be not possess the kind of threat they currently have because of Kylian Mbappe especially when they're playing in Europe. Kylian Mbappe is one player that can single-handedly decide the outcome of games and that's because of his footballing abilities and strength to dribble past defenders while on speed motion.
Paris Saint Germaine must get a player who'll replace Kylian Mbappe and just like you said, Victor Osimhen will definitely be a good replacement fir Kylian Mbappe. The Nigerian striker have proven over the years that he's got all it takes to succeed in any big club and league he finds himself in.

His reputation as one man army is undeniable with his performance is also at the top for his club and national team he is fully committed player who can bring changes in any game with this all now we have to accept time is changing, and he wants to do something big for his career so he is now leaving with who is coming to replace him it's not confirmed with can they play like this after him, it's also another question which is looking for the replies.

In current season, we are having their best performance under Luis Enrique which is impressive even still long way to go for the double but if they are able then surely this could be historic moment, and we can expect change of mind from Kylian Mbappé It's not sure.

Now many are talking about his possible replacement with we are having few good players but who is coming here in Paris it's not sure but mostly are expecting we are going to have Victor Osimhen or Dušan Vlahović with both are young and have quality to compete but still it could be not easy to have performance like Kylian Mbappé.

PSG did not perform according to expectations because they were defeated by Dortmund and this match actually provided an opportunity for PSG to score goal but this opportunity failed because the ball hit the goal post.
Dortmund performance was unexpected because they previously performed less than satisfactorily and in this semifinal PSG was favored over Dortmund in the two matches that took place, with only 1 goal and playing defensively, Dortmund got the advantage.
I was very surprised when I saw that until the end of the second half PSG didn't get single goal that could equalize, I sure many people were disappointed and gamblers lost money because they made PSG the favorite.

But I sure that in the second leg match PSG will definitely get an absolute victory and they will be able to surpass Dortmund 1 point deficit in the aggregate.
My prediction is that PSG will win the semifinals and they will be in the final against Real Madrid, but it is impossible for PSG to beat Real Madrid if they actually meet in the final.

PSG play good game and all players were right now target, but sadly they were not lucky enough to have any goal which is the best thing happen for the Borussia Dortmund in this game because from the start of the game PSG were doing good job, and they were controlling all but sadly their luck was not with them in this game, and they have to face defeat but still things are not bad for them even we can't give the best prediction because we all know soccer is funny game, and we can have any upset in any game like we have against Barcelona with PSG lost at home and then won in Barcelona so here anything can happen even mostly are predicting PSG can win and go through for the title race into final but still its not easy job.

Borussia Dortmund which is now going to face fourth time PSG in this season with now having 1 win 1 lost and 1 draw but sadly in last three meetings which they play here in Paris they never won with even never score any goal which is going against them and having good advantage for the PSG to win and go for the final.

But Mbappe is a whole other level. You cant just buy that Champions League magic. When you're wearing the PSG shirt, you have to be ready to take on the world. Trust me, it takes a certain type of player.

PSG always has enough money to bring in any star player, but the obstacle is whether or not a star player wants to be on a team like PSG. Because the French League is not as competitive as other leagues, the team does not develop better because what PSG often faces are very weak opponents. However, for Osimhen, he could also be quite suitable as a replacement for Mbappe even though the levels of these two players are very different. And apart from the replacement players that PSG must look for, the PSG coach himself must also have more extraordinary tactics so that PSG can continue to progress perfectly in the Champions League next season as they did this season.

Monaco 4 - 1 Clermont

Monaco are getting close to securing a ticket for the Champions League group stage. This win was really important for that. I don't expect them to lose their spot on the remaining two game weeks. The last one to join directly is still doubtful though. Brest and Lille are in a really close competition. Lille has a good chance to take the third position now after the draw Brest got yesterday.

Brest are actually one of the surprising teams of the season. They have come a really long way so far. Even if they drop down to the 4th position I hope they make it to the Champions League anyway. All this effort shouldn't be in vain.     Their remaining games are against Toulouse and Reims. I think both of them are winnable.

Second place in the French league 1 standings and a ticket to the champions league next season certainly belongs to Monaco with a very good current performance, it is certain that they get the final result against Clermont yesterday helped him get closer and they certainly only need to continue.

Clermont last season was in 8th place in the standings but today is in a position that makes it definitely relegated, a very bad decline while Brest is the opposite and surprised many people this season, they have improved significantly, while Lille is quite stable and they should be able to get a champions league ticket next season because it can be considered an improvement for those who last year only got a Europa conference league ticket.

Monaco who lost to Lyon last week can bounce back in this week match with a fairly convincing victory from the relegation team, the victory over Clermont Foot certainly makes Monaco chances to play in the Champions League next season wide open after Brest drew with Nantes today, Monaco struggle this season is of course quite tough after previously they were far from the Champions League zone but slowly they were able to rise and even Successfully eliminated Brest from second place after a long time they defended, for now of course Monaco only need to win one more of the remaining two games they have to be able to secure a Champions League ticket next season.

I think Brest this season has been a surprising club and also sad in my opinion, honestly I was very surprised to see Brest throughout the season being PSG competitor at the top level, and even Brest was able to maintain their position in second place for quite a long time, but it is quite sad to see Brest current position which is even starting to threaten to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season,  In fact, I see maybe Brest will get out of the top 4 if later Lille and Nice can win all their remaining match.

[redsun114]

Le Havre is leading by 2-1 in the match, they are almost the winners in this case because the game is almost coming to an end and even though Strasbourg is mounting much pressure on them, I think they can be able to maintain the score line in this last seconds of the game.

If Le Havre successfully win this match, they will be completely free from relegation threat because they will have the same points with Nantes and will be three points away from relegation zone teams.

Le Havre ensured themselves with a 3-1 victory over Strasbourg, this made Le Havre sigh a little because they were able to take full points over their guests Strasbourg, with this victory Le Havre moved slightly away from the relegation zone with a difference of 3 points from the relegation zone and equal points with Nantes is below Le Havre.
A good result for Le Havre means they have the mentality to face the next match, able to stay away from the relegation zone and able to fight again for next season in league one.

As we have now two rounds left in this season, we have two teams are almost relegated and one spot is having challenging situation but it is favouring Le Havre which is currently at the 15th spot and this 3-1 win give them boost for the staying into league for the next season as well even still things are not easy but next round match while Le Havre will visit Nice and Metz will visit Strasbourg these matches will be give clear shape about these two teams.

Le Harve done good job in first half of the season having troubling time in second half just because of this now they are having troubling time even most chances they could be able to survive but still things are looking for the better performance in last two games of the season which will give them one more season here in this Ligue 1.

I think with the remaining games Monaco will go to the Champions League next season. They have 61 points and are 6 points away from Lille who are in 4th position. However, Monaco only has 2 matches left while Lille has 3 matches remaining. MOnaco on paper only needs 4 more points to lock their position to get a ticket to the Champions League.

Well, there is Brest who is in 3rd position, actually the interesting competition will be shown by Brest and Lille, because they are only 2 points apart now, but Lille still has 1 more match than Brest. Who can clean up the victory, then they will be able to secure a place in the Champions League. Both Brest and Lille still have opportunities open to go to the Champions League. It's just that they have to be consistent in winning. Let's see who will represent Ligue 1 in the Champions League next season. Maybe there will be 4 clubs there, if one of them can compete in the play-off round.

Trust me, it takes a certain type of player.

I think the only problem PSG will be having currently has to be with their ability to be able to scout a perfect replace for mabappe because financial they appear very capable and having the ability to be able to afford whosoever they dim fit as a perfect replacement for mbappe by next season when he will be leaving PSG to Madrid. When a good player like mbappe is leaving a team like this, it's usually difficult getting suitable replacement for them almost immediately.

Osimhen would have been a good replacement but then he has said it that he's plans are to play in an English team so his target is mostly around the English side and I doubt if an offer from PSG will be accepted by him but then I usually don't like making comparison for this two players as it's makes me fe like the Messi and Ronaldo comparison of which if when should do a critical check into their performance a.d achievement considering every situations around them,w e will find out that they were just good in their aspects as much as they could and not the fact thst we had to make comparison standards for them.

These two were playing in an entirely different leagues and they were both able to achieve the much they could with their teams in their separate leagues so I think it's fair to say they are both good in their ways except for some aspects where one gets to be above the other and it's very normal because they can never be equal by every standard of comparison as they are both totally two different personalities.

facing Clermont, Monaco must win. It's not just a matter of points earned. but also because their opponents are teams at the bottom of the standings.
Monaco will get tickets for UCL. but let's see how they play in the remaining games this season for them. the opponent was not as weak as Clermont. I hope they can still close this season well.

I think Brest this season has been a surprising club and also sad in my opinion, honestly I was very surprised to see Brest throughout the season being PSG competitor at the top level, and even Brest was able to maintain their position in second place for quite a long time, but it is quite sad to see Brest current position which is even starting to threaten to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season,  In fact, I see maybe Brest will get out of the top 4 if later Lille and Nice can win all their remaining match.

get tickets for the UCL or not, I think Brest is showing the growth in the quality of their game very well. Just look at Brest while competing in Ligue 1, just this season they are playing very well and can even be a competitor for strong teams.
I think whatever the final results, they should be appreciated. I hope their team survives and plays better next season.

You make a good point about how Mbappe's exit leaves big shoes to fill. PSG is making a good choice by going after Osimhen. These guy's numbers are crazy, and he looks like he could fit their method. Moving on from Mbappe, on the other hand, is a whole different story. Not only does Mbappe have great stats, but he also has those times that make the difference in a game. Osimhen definitely has the ability to do that. He's not just fast, he's a beast up front. It's normal for there to be a time of getting used to each other, but PSG clearly sees something in the guy

They can't get anyone RIGHT NOW, because it is not the transfer window, and while some teams has started working on getting players, PSG is a rich club and they shouldn't rush into getting anyone, if they do that then the result wouldn't be that great. I believe that we are going to do something that would be quite strong if you give them enough time, they are going to get a lot of great players, they just need time.

As I always suspect, with that much money, it wouldn't be a problem for them to get the league title, they will be the champions easily without Mbappe as well, they just need to make sure that they are doing better at UCL, which is tough because they are at semi-finals right now, doing better than that without Mbappe would be quite tough, so they will need to focus just on the league.

Yes, Victor Osimhen is a very good choice as a replacement for Mbappe, but the problem is that the current position of the club that has Osimhen is in bad shape and needs a great player like Osimhen.
I am sure that if Osimhen is given freedom from Napoli, PSG will definitely not make a small offer but will offer a large salary to be able to get Osimhen and as a player who is not too old, Osimhen will definitely accept the offer to still get a big salary and look for challenges. new to league 1 scoring in large numbers.
Another problem is that Osimhen is a talented young player and the reason he is at Napoli is that he wants to have a perfect career and get a prestigious title but apparently failed this season and as a young player who has very good quality talent he will definitely not choose PSG.

The reason is that Osimhen will definitely choose a club that can provide prestigious titles such as the Champions League to increase his experience and career, which is what every player who has great talent really wants.
It is difficult to get Osimhen, even though he could offer a large salary, this does not guarantee PSG's future in big competitions.

Monaco are getting close to securing a ticket for the Champions League group stage. This win was really important for that. I don't expect them to lose their spot on the remaining two game weeks. The last one to join directly is still doubtful though. Brest and Lille are in a really close competition. Lille has a good chance to take the third position now after the draw Brest got yesterday.

Brest are actually one of the surprising teams of the season. They have come a really long way so far. Even if they drop down to the 4th position I hope they make it to the Champions League anyway. All this effort shouldn't be in vain.     Their remaining games are against Toulouse and Reims. I think both of them are winnable.

As I always say in many posts, if in the end Monaco will be able to place its position in 2nd place in Ligue 1. reviewing the two matches that Manaco will play until this season ends, it is possible that Adolf Hutter's team squad should be able to secure  to finish in 2nd place in the Lique 1 table. In this way, they will be safe when heading to the Champions League next season. Speaking of Brest, recently they have not been able to maintain the balance of their team's squad and so Monaco has shifted the ranking they previously occupied.

As for Lille, Paulo Fonseca's squad has the opportunity to shift the ranking that Brest currently occupies. but with the condition, Lille must beat Lyon in tomorrow's match. If that happens, then the position occupied by Brest will be overtaken by Paulo Fonseca's squad. Moreover, Lille will act as the home team when they host Lyon's match tomorrow. Their chance of overthrowing the opposing team is quite big. Well, talking about the Brest team squad, it could be said that Brest has made quite a difference this season. Naturally, they only focus on the two Domestic League competitions. yeah, like Nice at first. However, these two teams are actually mediocre teams. In the end, the ranking they occupy at the end of this season has the potential to be overtaken by the teams below them. it could be that Brest will end up in 4th place in the Ligue 1 table. My prediction for this team is that in the end Brest will only finish in 4th place in the Ligue 1 standings. The potential for being overtaken by Lille is very big, and the difficulty in taking over returned to the standings they had previously occupied.

PSG is the only one of Ligue 1 team participant with better financial condition and never break out the financial fair play indeed most spending sign top players than selling them. Not difficult for PSG keep dominance Ligue 1 every season behind still not get the right team Ligue 1 competitor has the same stable financial condition.
For next season without Kylian Mbappe I think PSG keep become Ligue 1 dominance team because they has financial support and will sign most talented player for replacing Mbappe position. Ligue 1 have not balance yet with team financial condition and make difficult to see how competitive until the last game week for domestic league race tittle. PSG have won Ligue 1 tittle on game week 31 although has bad start at the early season.

PSG financial strength makes Ligue 1 uncompetitive, because they do not have equal competitors in the race for trophies every season. But the ease of dominating Ligue 1 makes them weak when competing in the Champions League. There is no solution to this imbalanced situation to date, but now PSG has the opportunity to prove this wrong. Mbappe departure on a free transfer will certainly cause PSG a loss, but it will not cause them financial difficulties. This season PSG won the Ligue 1 trophy again, even though Mbappe will leave next season, PSG will still be the ruling club at the domestic level. Of course management will look for a replacement for Mabppe, previously Osimhen and Rashford were reported to be the solution if Mbappe really left. Apart from that, we can judge that no Ligue 1 contestant has the same finances as PSG, which is what makes the difference so striking.

[rendravolt]

Brest only drew against Nantes and yes, with this result, Brest will be even further left behind by Monaco. I think it's also not a problem because it is certain that Brest will play in Ligue One next season and of course they still have work to do by closing this season with a win.

Meanwhile for Nantes, their position is not yet safe enough as there is still the possibility of being displaced by other teams such as Le Havre and Metz considering that the difference can still be caught. With this estimate, it could be Nantes' turn to fall into the red zone and be relegated this season. Because that's the only way Nantes has to win.

With this estimate, it could be Nantes' turn to fall into the red zone and be relegated this season. Because that's the only way Nantes has to win.

This result is a setback in their effort to finish in Champions League zone. Their position at third can potentially be overtaken by Lille which have a game to play tomorrow. If Lille win against Lyon tomorrow, they will stand at third position with one point different. Brest and Lille will need to fight for the third position to secure a straight ticket to Champions League group stage, if they finish fourth, they will have to go through qualification for their ticket to play in Champions League group stage.

This result is not so bad for Nantes, despite their position is not safe from relegation, earning a point from a good team that fight for Champions League zone is a net positive. They are still the front runner in the battle to stay in Ligue 1 next season. Two more wins could be enough for them to avoid relegation with expectation of their competitors not going to have a winning streak.
