French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[bering]

The draw result from Nantes is very dissapointing for Brest because they were failed to wided their gap points with Lille and this makes their current position will be threaten by Lille and actually after Brest failed to win i think this could be good opportunity for Lille to taking over 3rd place from Brest but probably it would not be easy because Lille opponent is Lyon and although from the position on League Table Lille is much better than Lyon but i don't think Lyon can be considers as weak opponent anymore and since Pierre Sage handle this team Lyon progress was very fantastic

About this match according to the odds i can see Lille status as the favourite with odds @1.89 but just like i said before this is hard match for Lille because Lyon is quite strong now and actually this match is hard to predicted because although Lille status as the favourite but i personally considers both teams have equal chances to win this match even not impossible the match will ended to draw and for betting options probably over 2.5 goals also good because most likely both teams will displayed attacking style during the match

PSG may not be able to retain Mbappe this season as there are rumors that PSC star Mbappe's contract with Real Madrid is over and he will leave PSG for Real Madrid next season. If Mbappe leaves PSG for Real Madrid, PSG will definitely need to recruit a quality star. 

A star like Mbappe may not be available to PSG at the moment but since they have enough financial solvency, it would not surprise us if they complete a deal with a big star.  But PSG must give more importance to recruiting young players.

Yes, of course PSG must have talented young players next season to replace Mbappe who will move to Madrid, after all Mbappe needs a lot of experience playing in several leagues because of course to hone his skills in playing football, I think Mbappe will be worthy of Laliga with Madrid, a lot what he will learn there, besides that, PSG must get used to playing without Mbappe in order to balance the game, but for now Mbappe is still needed to face Dortmund in the second leg of the semi-final against Dortmund.

I hope PSG will meet Madrid in the final because that will find Mbappe with Madrid, at least testing his abilities in the UCL final match, Mbappe needs to play harder and more seriously in the second leg because if PSG loses to Dortmund or is held to a draw, PSG will not qualify to the final and failed in the semi-finals of the UCL this season, so far Mbappe has not succeeded in bringing the UCL trophy to PSG even though he is a great player, he may have succeeded in bringing the world cup trophy to France but Mbappe has not succeeded in bringing the UCLC trophy to PSG, this season was Mbappe's opportunity before moving to Madrid to give PSG the UCL trophy.

for the time being, PSG really needs experience or at least one UCL title because that is the desire of the current PSG owner and if they can get a prestigious title, PSG can recruit young players to develop the talent of young players without having to spend a lot of money.
so for the time being PSG doesn't seem to have a goal of recruiting young players but instead will continue to pursue players who have quality talent like Mbappe to be able to provide assistance in achieving the goals that PSG owners currently want.
but we don't know who Mbappe replacement will be, but I still remember that it seems like PSG will be targeting players from the EPL and Serie A, but you haven't confirmed anything from PSG.

and regarding the upcoming match against Dortmund I might have to say that PSG has a very big chance of qualifying for the final round if they can perform consistently like against Barcelona at that time and currently Dortmund only has a very small aggregate score and is quite easy for PSG to catch up with.
betting on PSG winning is the best choice but it would be better to wait for the latest news regarding what happens to PSG and Dortmund.

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.

Brest are doing mild in their latest games and they are risking their third and last position for UEFA Champions League next season.
For the moment, PSG are confirmed to end first and to take a Champions League spot. Monaco are also safe whether they ended second or third. Brest third position is quite fragile and Lille could literally be third if they win against Lyon tomorrow.

However, even if Lille wins against Lyon, it will not change Brest's status to be able to play in the Champions League next season and what is clear is that even if they drop to 4th place in the standings they will still be safe without any pressure from other teams. We can see that the difference from Nice alone is already 6 points, so it will be quite difficult to shift Brest's position from the top four.

Apart from that, Brest might suffer a loss if they finish in 4th position, they have to go through the Champions League play-off round first before joining the other teams in the group stage. So the only solution for Brest to move forward easily without any further obstacles is to maintain its current position and they have to resolve this later.

PSG has a lot of financial acumen and it is because of this financial acumen that PSG have been able to keep Mbappe until now as Mbappe had long planned to leave the club but every season PSG has increased the amount of money to keep the French star in the team. However, PSG may not be able to retain Mbappe this season as there are rumors that PSC star Mbappe's contract with Real Madrid is over and he will leave PSG for Real Madrid next season. If Mbappe leaves PSG for Real Madrid, PSG will definitely need to recruit a quality star. 

A star like Mbappe may not be available to PSG at the moment but since they have enough financial solvency, it would not surprise us if they complete a deal with a big star.  But PSG must give more importance to recruiting young players.

The financial capacity of PSG in the whole of the French league is almost not contestable and that has been their advantage all this years such that they have been able to retain mbappe probably when mbappe still care so much about the money because almost every season in other to keep him there was an increment in his pay and that has kept him about two seasons long than he had wanted to stay most likely.

By next season it's very clear he will be having nothing to keeping him back again in PSG as he seem not to be attached anymore to the increments in payment or wanting to bargain a good offer different from that which he had any more, the concerns now seem to have been shifted to the need for achievement in his career which he's hoping to get in his new team Real Madrid of which I think it's going to be a better place for him to be able to achieve all that's within his mind as he has wished in his career, he now appears to be more achievement driven in his career than just the pay.

For PSG isn't going to be another period of hunt for a replacement for their star player like they will always appear, finance may not be the problem but getting the best replacement may be but then they could aswell recruit someone who's close that's if they don't get the exact replacement and with time he may get to fit in as much as possible and they get their squad back again but then they may have to sacrifice a season to get all of these adjustments done.

There's only one game today in the French Ligue 1. Lille will play Lyon at home. Lille are fighting to finish in the top 3 teams in the league this season and play in the Champions League next season. They've been getting more consistent results in Brest in recent weeks. I think they are better than Brest and will finish 3rd in the league. On the other hand, Lyon had the worst start in Ligue 1 in their history this season. But after Piere Sage took charge, they turned into a good team. They played the last 7 weeks with 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. It will undoubtedly be a very good match. I will bet on both teams to score.

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

The players of Brest vs Nantes both teams scored 0-0 in this match from the beginning to the end. The players of Brest team could not do anything well. Everyone thought that the players of Brest team might score in this match but the goalkeeper of Nantes team did very well for that.  The players of Brest team could not score a goal after many attempts for which the match between the two teams was a draw. The match between the two teams was a draw for which the points had to be shared.

[Google+]

The Brest vs Nantes match was completely controlled by the home team but unfortunately only had two shots on goal without one being a goal, and seeing what Brest displayed is proof of why PSG can always easily dominate this league because the competition will start to decrease in difficulty because their rival teams are starting to have difficulty maintaining consistency and will slowly experience bad results. We can see Nice, which once performed well but is now even outside the top four.

Nantes will probably drop in ranking because the two matches against Lille and Monaco will certainly not be easy so there is a chance that another team will overtake them even though the other teams are facing almost the same conditions, namely they will still face tough matches.

The draw obtained by Brest in yesterday's match is certainly not a positive result, because after all Brest really need points to be able to secure their chances to qualify for the Champions League next season, for now Brest's position is quite safe in the Champions League zone but that does not mean they have to continue to drop points in the remaining matches this season,  At this time, of course, Brest position in the standings began to be threatened by Lille, if Lille managed to win the match against Lyon today, it is certain that Brest will drop to rank 4 with a difference of 1 point from Lille in the third rank, honestly it is quite surprising to see Brest's current performance, so far Brest has been able to perform quite consistently at the beginning of the season and even they were able to become PSG competitors in the race for the championship but unfortunately when towards the end of the season Instead, Brest experienced inconsistency in their game and made Brest now probably have to end the season ranked 4.

The match between Brest and Nantes, is a match that should be won by Brest, because indeed Nantes' current performance is quite bad and also as the host, of course Brest has greater motivation in the game, but indeed Nantes defense in the game is quite solid and able to break every opportunity created by Brest attackers,  Throughout the match Brest were able to dominate the match but I think indeed Nantes was more fortunate in the match.

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.

Regarding Monaco, you are correct; after that win, the Champions League is pretty much a done deal. You have to be really determined to win big, and they've shown that. Lets talk over Brest now. The situation has changed so much! Really, I have a lot of respect for how they've made things better. After beating Toulouse and Reims, it should be easy sailing. There's a good chance that Lille will finish in third place. They are a solid top-tier team. That match between Lyon and Barcelona will decide the winner. Just being honest, I'd love for both Brest and Lille to win. They've earned it.

The match between the two teams was a draw for which the points had to be shared.

In my opinion, the result of the match was surprising, because in terms of strength, Brest was better than Nantes, but the fact is that they couldn't score a single goal in this match. They really controlled the game, but we can see how they couldn't penetrate the defense built by Nantes, so throughout the match they were only able to create 2 matches that were on target. They could not be effective on the front line to be able to destroy the defense built by Nantes.

On the other hand, it seems like Nantes had been preparing for this from the start, yes they were able to prepare a defensive strategy and it worked very well, so they were successful in holding Brest to a draw. Even though it was only a draw, for Nantes this was a victory in my opinion because it is not easy to win when playing at the opponent's headquarters, especially as the opponent they faced also had a better performance than them.

In fact, the Lille versus Lyon match is difficult to predict, even though on paper Lille deserves to be the favorite, Lyon could act beyond expectations by making their own luck. This match could affect Lille position as a participant in the Champions League next season, Lyon of course has the ambition to damage it while wanting to get an additional 3 points. Even though Lyon this season had slumped very badly, now they have managed to recover and improve their performance, Lille should be fully alert even though they are acting as hosts. Brest certainly hopes that Lyon can beat Lille, so that their position is safe in 3rd place in the standings. This is the most sacred period before the end of the season, where in my opinion a small mistake could have a fatal impact on their position in the standings.

[Jody.Drummer]

There is only one match left this week between LOSC vs Lyon, looking at the existing opportunities LOSC is more favored in the match to win. Apart from them playing as hosts, in terms of overall performance LOSC is also better than Lyon, so it is a very natural thing that they are more favored in this match.

Lyon are very fragile in their defense, that is the space that the LOSC players can exploit to win this match. Meanwhile, LOSC has a more solid defense, which will make it difficult for Lyon in this match. However, this is not a guarantee that LOSC will be able to win easily in this match, they should not underestimate Lyon at all, because Lyon is a club that can give them trouble. The record of the last 5 matches played by Lyon is also quite good with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. So LOSC must not be careless about the strength that Lyon has.

Who do you think will win this match, host LOSC or visiting team Lyon?

Despite Lyon having a bad season, They are currently having a good form. Lyon succeeded to win the game against Monaco, and this shows that they have ability to beat a team. Lille is under pressure to win this game, while Lyon have nothing to lose. This situation makes things complicated, because the pressure could make Lille hard to perform at their best.

Lille have to capitalize this chance to climb up third position to secure an automatic ticket to play in Champions League group stage. Finishing fourth means they have to go through qualification that makes their chance to play in Champions League group stage harder because there is chance they will face a tough team from a better league. Playing at home should be a advantage for them, but they need to ba cautious to play against a team that has nothing to lose.

There's a good chance that Lille will finish in third place. They are a solid top-tier team. That match between Lyon and Barcelona will decide the winner. Just being honest, I'd love for both Brest and Lille to win. They've earned it.

Currently only PSG had managed to secure the Ligue 1 trophy and Champions League slot next season, while for Monaco and also Brest of course still have fierce competition to be able to get one Champions League slot next season, currently Monaco is ranked second with a difference of 4 points from Brest who are ranked third at this time,  I think the two can still swap positions at the end of the table if indeed Monaco is not able to continue their positive trend in the remaining two games of the season, for now Monaco has a greater chance of being able to win the Champions League ticket because indeed they only need one more win to be sure,  But I think Monacomentality will be tested by Montpellier next week because Montpellier has been a difficult opponent for Monaco to beat.

If we talk about brest, aren't they a pretty surprising team this season?
After experiencing a difficult journey to stay in Ligue 1 last season, Brest surprised us all with their ability to compete in the top 4 this season, even before they were able to put pressure on PSG in the second rank but it was tragic when they were comfortable enough to be ranked second in Ligue 1, but thier  were unable to maintain their performance towards the end of the season.

[Velvet78]

There's a good chance that Lille will finish in third place. They are a solid top-tier team. That match between Lyon and Barcelona will decide the winner. Just being honest, I'd love for both Brest and Lille to win. They've earned it.

Barcelona? I assume you wanted to mention the Lille - Lyon game tonight.    Lyon are really on the rise after starting the season horrible. Even though they are the away side here they might be able to make difficulties for Lille. However I believe Lille would be the winner one way or another. They shouldn't waste their big advantage over Nice in the last two weeks.

I agree about Brest and Lille. They both deserve it. In the first times of the season Nice were also doing really good but their consistency was broken at one point. They lost a lot of points in a row that they won't make it to the Champions League most probably.

[topbitcoin]

Despite Lyon having a bad season, They are currently having a good form. Lyon succeeded to win the game against Monaco, and this shows that they have ability to beat a team. Lille is under pressure to win this game, while Lyon have nothing to lose. This situation makes things complicated, because the pressure could make Lille hard to perform at their best.

But with Lille's current condition which is still quite good and with their situation which is still able to get the top 3 positions and the Champions League zone, indeed at this time Lille's big chance is clearly very much there to be able to win in this match, especially when they play home, it is not wrong for them to be the favorite now.

Lyon towards the end of the current season began to develop in a slightly better direction because at least they did not have bad results in the last few matches and could take them out of an uncomfortable zone like the beginning of last season so surely the resistance remains only I am still quite optimistic about Lille for this match especially this could be a pretty good event for Lille in their revenge considering that previously at the first meeting in Ligue 1 Lille lost with a score of 2-1 in Lyon so indeed this could be a good event for them to avenge their revenge.

PSG may not be able to retain Mbappe this season as there are rumors that PSC star Mbappe's contract with Real Madrid is over and he will leave PSG for Real Madrid next season. If Mbappe leaves PSG for Real Madrid, PSG will definitely need to recruit a quality star. 

A star like Mbappe may not be available to PSG at the moment but since they have enough financial solvency, it would not surprise us if they complete a deal with a big star.  But PSG must give more importance to recruiting young players.

Yes, of course PSG must have talented young players next season to replace Mbappe who will move to Madrid, after all Mbappe needs a lot of experience playing in several leagues because of course to hone his skills in playing football, I think Mbappe will be worthy of Laliga with Madrid, a lot what he will learn there, besides that, PSG must get used to playing without Mbappe in order to balance the game, but for now Mbappe is still needed to face Dortmund in the second leg of the semi-final against Dortmund.

I hope PSG will meet Madrid in the final because that will find Mbappe with Madrid, at least testing his abilities in the UCL final match, Mbappe needs to play harder and more seriously in the second leg because if PSG loses to Dortmund or is held to a draw, PSG will not qualify to the final and failed in the semi-finals of the UCL this season, so far Mbappe has not succeeded in bringing the UCL trophy to PSG even though he is a great player, he may have succeeded in bringing the world cup trophy to France but Mbappe has not succeeded in bringing the UCLC trophy to PSG, this season was Mbappe's opportunity before moving to Madrid to give PSG the UCL trophy.

for the time being, PSG really needs experience or at least one UCL title because that is the desire of the current PSG owner and if they can get a prestigious title, PSG can recruit young players to develop the talent of young players without having to spend a lot of money.
so for the time being PSG doesn't seem to have a goal of recruiting young players but instead will continue to pursue players who have quality talent like Mbappe to be able to provide assistance in achieving the goals that PSG owners currently want.
but we don't know who Mbappe replacement will be, but I still remember that it seems like PSG will be targeting players from the EPL and Serie A, but you haven't confirmed anything from PSG.

betting on PSG winning is the best choice but it would be better to wait for the latest news regarding what happens to PSG and Dortmund.

Paris Saint Germaine have dominated the French league for a very long time but despite their dominance of French football over the last one decade, they've really struggled to replicate that dominance in Europe. Their best outing in the UEFA Champions League competition was in 2019/20 season that they managed to reach the final of the competition before they were beaten by eventual winners Bayern Munich in the final that was played in an almost empty Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Most of the big players that were expected to help Bayern Munich win the league are almost all out of the club but they still have the services of Kylian Mbappe for the rest of the current season before he'll leave the club in the summer.
If there's anytime they can win the Champions League title, then it must be this particular season but for them to do that, they'll have to overturn a 1:0 deficit in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final game at Borussia Dortmund when they host the German club tomorrow. I think they have all it takes to win that particular tie

With the draw experienced by Brest when they hosted Nantes, this will open up opportunities for Lille to get into the top three if Lille can win at home in today's match. Because the opponent that Lille will face is Lyon, which in general is not very good this season, but I also think that Lyon can definitely make it difficult for Lille to win and Lyon could even beat Lille today. So Lille has to play very carefully in order to win the match because they remember that they have the opportunity to take the top three positions today.

It's true, Lyon has the potential to make it difficult for Lille to move up to 3rd place in the standings, where Lyon is now performing well after slumping quite badly at the start of last season. But statistically Lyon chances are quite low of beating Lille, because Lille will act as hosts. However, it is possible that the match will end in a draw, and the two teams will share the points.

Lyon has the ambition to get additional points, because if successful they will move up to two places, overtaking Marseille and Rennes. This is an interesting match and will also be the closing match of Week 32 of Ligue 1. Brest hopes that Lyon can help them, by stopping Lille steps today. The match will get underway soon, if Lyon manages to win they will be moving in a better direction, their moves in the January transfer window have borne fruit.

This match could affect Lille position as a participant in the Champions League next season, Lyon of course has the ambition to damage it while wanting to get an additional 3 points.

This is the most sacred period before the end of the season, where in my opinion a small mistake could have a fatal impact on their position in the standings.

It is indeed a difficult fight to predict. Lyon won the last match between them. If Lyon wins again, they will surpass both teams in the rankings. While they were in a very bad situation, they are in a good situation now, it is promising. In fact, Lyon is in the 7th place to win this match, and from there it is a very important match to catch up with the 6th team in the ranking.

They are aware of this. After the PSG defeat, they won the Monaco match. They are going one on top of the other with all the good teams. I think the Monaco match gave Lyon a different mental strength.
