French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[tusandii]

In today's match I should have excluded the Strasbourg - Rennes match because for me these two clubs are difficult to predict.
Looking at the last meeting of these two clubs, Strasbourg has won 2x at home while Rennes has beaten Strasbourg when playing away or at home.
The prediction for this match seems like Rennes has a greater chance of winning and adding 3 points to look more consistent.
Bad results are possible with a draw.

It seems I was wrong after previously saying that Lyon was able to beat Monaco at home and on the contrary Lyon was humiliated with a score of 0-2. Lyon has no fighting spirit at all and they are like imprisoned in their own home with no way to escape from the door.

The difference in ball possession is very clear where Monaco is superior with 60% and Lyon only 40%. In addition, Lyon was also unable to shoot a single shot on target throughout the match and on the contrary Monaco was far superior with 6 shots on target. Ben Seghir opened the first goal in the 65th minute and was followed by the second goal scored by Camara in the 80th minute. It was a truly satisfying result for Monaco and if I may be honest I am starting to worry that Lyon will experience the same fate as last season.

Seeing them struggle early on, I know some of you are becoming anxious. Deja vu, right? The same story from last season. Slow start, but they managed to claw their way back into the top 6. Perhaps now this is part of their great scheme, or perhaps they just need to get their act together sooner. Lyon often settles later in the season either way.

Monaco's is looking good in meantime. Like last year, they are off to a great start and right up with Lille. That struggle for second place will be fantastic. Lyon drops points right at home? Not exactly perfect. If you hope to be a contender, you have to win your home games. To be honest, PSG has the top slot under lockdown. But its early days, after all. Football is here; anything can happen.

In today's match of French Soccer League LOSC vs Angers team has started a very nice match. So far LOSC team is leading by 1 goal. Angers team has not scored any goal so far but the performance of Angers team players is not very good which is why  Angers team may not be able to score any goal. LOSC team goalkeeper L. Chevalier is doing a great performance. Let's see how many goals LOSC team can win the match until the end of today's match.

After watching the match between Lille vs Angers at the Decathlon Arena, it is very unfortunate that the Angers team could not score a single goal in the match and made Lille win even though they only scored two goals in the match. In addition, the Lille team has often performed impressively in Ligue 1 every season even though Lille has not been able to become champions in Ligue 1 due to being blocked by PSG as the ruler of Ligue 1 every season. However, winning at home against Angers is certainly a source of pride for Lille because they have been able to win twice in two matches at the beginning of this season.

2 shots on goal produced by Angers indicate they played badly, there was no creativity in developing the attacks that were built, seeing this it is natural that every season they struggle with the relegation zone, LOSC took the initiative with ball possession and played very well but the 2 goals produced in my opinion were less should have been more than 2 goals produced by LOSC in the match.
talking about the league 1 trophy I doubt LOSC is in the order of champion candidates, there are still other teams like Marseille and Lens, but I also doubt they can shift PSG's dominance for this season

I'm sure the headline in some of the major sports tabloids in France tomorrow will read "10-man Monaco snatched a 2:0 win at Lyon" despite the fact that the fact that Monaco's Lamine Camera who scored the second goal of the game saw the red card in the 97th minute of stoppage time. Monaco were simply the better and dominated the game even when they were the away team and if you ask me, I think it's a strong suggestion that Monaco might be challenging for the league title this season. Lyon manager really needs to work on his team if they don't want to fight from being relegated.

Angers were not able to develop their game in this match because Lille was able to dominate throughout the match, the comparison of the quality and strength of the two teams was very visible in this match, but unfortunely Lille were not able to win with a big score even though they dominated, even Angers were only able to defend and try to rely on counter attacks but they were still able to give Lille defense a surprise even though they failed to score a goal in that match.
In my opinion, Lille game in that match was not very optimal and if they don't immediately maximize it, it will be difficult for Lille to beat their opponents in the next match, because when their  dominated almost 65%, but , wee can see if they do not have good creativity in creating opportunities to score goals, even after the first goal occurs, lille must to wait quite a long time to create the second goal in the match.

Marseille vs Reims is one of the good matches of the day. Marseille usually has a big advantage in home games with the support of their fans. Also, in the last weeks they have been very effective in offense. Last week they beat Brest 5-1. On the other hand, Reims lost 2-0 to Lille last week. They got a red card at the start of that game and they were down to 10 men. They were actually a bit unlucky. I think Marseille will win this game. They had a great win in the first week of the league. If they play with the same tactics and game plan, I think they will win this match comfortably.

[LUCKMCFLY]

PSG will play against Montpellier in their next match. Firstly it is PSG's home match, secondly the Montpellier team is also quite weak. An interesting point is that PSG have won their last 5 matches against Montpellier. And in these 5 matches PSG players scored 21 goals. PSG won every match by a big margin. And right now PSG players are in very good form. The players are now more confident after the win in the first match. So I guess PSG will win the next match against Montpellier by a big margin.

I don't think there will be anyone who will deny that PSG is will not be the favorite to win the match against Montpellier. I have not watched Montpellier's matches this season, but based on PSG's form, I know that it will be very difficult for Montpellier to even draw with PSG. One of the main reasons Montpellier will find it more challenging to win against PSG in this upcoming match is that the game will be played at PSG's home. Even though average teams want to beat strong teams, it is not always possible to do so in strong teams' homes. It does happen sometimes, but it is not common. Teams always take their home games seriously, and when it comes to a team like PSG, it is always hard to beat them at home. In fact, I am expecting more goals from PSG.

From a bettor's perspective, everyone will definitely say that PSG will have no trouble taking 3 points from Montpellier. The problem is that this kind of match is what bettors expect, sometimes giving slightly bad results, giving a surprise draw after speculating that PSG will share the score.
Logically, it is still impossible for the match to end in a draw and no one will bet on PSG victory because the odds are too small and I myself choose to bet on over or under to avoid surprises if that happens.
My temporary prediction is that PSG will score 3 goals and Montpellier will give a 1 score resistance.

Many say PSG will win and well, it's not bad, I also See them as winners , especially with that team, however I consider that the true level Will be seen throughout LIGUE 1, For me, in LIGUE 1 they will be more in shape if they give them a hard time like PSG, but I can't say if PSG will be good or bad, I think that halfway through LIGUE 1 you can Already make good Predictions that are a little closer to being or giving a Team the win , but for now it's difficult, it's like making a random choice.

Lyon manager really needs to work on his team if they don't want to fight from being relegated.

It seems that Lyon is still stuck like last season, where they started the new season campaign badly, and only improved when entering the second half of the season. This is clearly seen from the two matches that Lyon has played, they were defeated by Rennes and most recently had to admit the greatness of Monaco. I thought that Lyon would most likely improve this season, but it turned out that it was still difficult to realize. Maybe Lyon needs more time to adapt, because they are quite active in recruiting players in this transfer window. However, Pierre Sage must ensure that the adaptation process runs quickly, because he will get sharp criticism because Lyon is in the relegation zone.

Monaco, who finished in second place last season, still shows stable consistency this season, they managed to start the campaign perfectly thanks to two wins. I think Monaco could be one of the teams that has the potential to threaten PSG dominance in Ligue 1 along with several other contestants. Overall Monaco looked too strong for Lyon, not a single shot on target was recorded by Lyon players. If Monaco performance is maintained, then this season we will see the competition for the Ligue 1 trophy will be more competitive than last season.

They had a great win in the first week of the league. If they play with the same tactics and game plan, I think they will win this match comfortably.

Really unfortunate, I passed this match to bet because it is true,  that their record in the previous match certainly provides evidence that Marseille has a very good chance of winning. Moreover, based on the record of head to head results, at least Marseille has a good dominance of victory when playing against Reims. Also, the factor of Marseille playing at home thistime is certainly a very good moment for Marseille to get their second win at the start of this season.

Thus, it is not surprising that Marseille also managed to take the lead since the 25th minute through a goal made by Amine Harit and also,  Marseille has a good dominance also in this match. But even so,it seems that Reims will not just give up, although Reims does not have good statistics in this match, but in fact Reims managed to make an equalizer in the 51st minute through a goal by Sergio Akieme. Thus, the score is now 1-1 but ofcourse,  there are still many minutes left of course to make another goal and maybe Marseille could also fail to get a victory at home. who know.

Monaco dominated, even with 10 men. 60% possession, six shots on target - away from home. That's a statement. Monaco's not messing around; they're coming for the title

Lyon has the same old story. Slow start, scrambling later. Sure, they've pulled it off before, but how many times can you rely on late-season heroics? This ain't a movie, it's Ligue 1. Monaco, PSG, they're not waiting for Lyon to wake up

Lyon's got to figure it out, and fast. This isn't just about tactics, it's about mentality. You can't sleepwalk through the first half of the season and expect to waltz into the Champions League. If they don't make changes, they're looking at another disappointing season, maybe even worse. The clock's ticking, Lyon

[doomloop]

I just don't get Lyon. They really gave hope after a point in the previous season you know. They made a huge progress and finished at a Europa League spot. After such an improvement you would expect them to impress more. But they are back to where they started... 0 scored, 5 conceded after 2 games. They are just too bad at the beginning of a season.  

But I hope they pull themselves together earlier this time. Otherwise probably Pierre Sage would get sacked. I don't even know whether it is manager related. Because they have been like this for a long time. Maybe some team policies need changes.

Lyon is surely having disappointing start of their season as they concede 5 goals in 2 games while playing at home against Monaco things were completely out of the control they were having terrible defense and their ball controlling were also not as they needed to be in this game even this is early part of the season and things can take changes, but they needed to be had some competitiveness for competing with the top teams if they want to have better results and stay at the better spot for the rest of the future.

Pierre Sage done good job in last season and bring this club form nowhere to this spot, but now he needs to stay at this level and having better results for keeping things on good level next game is going to be more crucial as they are going to have faced Strasbourg which is having good start of their season.

Angers is surely having not good start of their campaign in this season as things are going not on track in two games they are having no goals and concede 3 goals but in this game against Lille they were doing decent job because current Lille performance is impressive, and they are having few good wins against good teams I was expecting 4 to 5 goals for them in this game, but they have done good job and have just 2 goals.

French League is usually having inconsistency but this time we have good start for few clubs with most chances things will never been easy for staying on same level because few clubs are already had enough changes to compete Marseille and Lens done good job in their early games Monaco is also having good start specially their performance against Lyon was impressive which is showing they are going to be challenge for the PSG in this season.

[bering]

Nice has slow start this season because after on week 1 they lost from promotion team Auxerre then today Nice still unable to gets their first winning because they only can able to playing draw from Toulouse and this result is make Nice only gets 1 point from 2 matches and their current position at 12th place and last season Nice has solid defense even they are as the team with the strongest defense in Nice with only conceded 29 goals from 34 matches but unfortunately Nice still unable to in form again and according to Nice matches statistics in the last 2 matches in Ligue 1 i can see Nice always be dominate the game but seems it useless because Nice can't able to beat their opponents

I didn't have high expectations from Angers. However, they performed well against Lille. Despite not winning the match, they fought to earn points. If Angers' attack was stronger, they might have scored. But Angers' attack is relatively weak. So the team could not score a single goal in two matches. If the performance of the attacking players does not improve, the performance of this team will deteriorate further in the future.

Ligue 1 is not that much competitive. Almost every season we see certain teams perform well. But very few teams have the ability to fight for the title. Teams like Lens, Lille and Marseille might be PSG's main rivals for the title this season. But I have considerable doubts whether these teams can maintain the consistency of good performance. PSG is very strong now with Luis Enrique. So maybe we will see only PSG dominance till the end.

[Weawant]

In today's match I should have excluded the Strasbourg - Rennes match because for me these two clubs are difficult to predict.
Looking at the last meeting of these two clubs, Strasbourg has won 2x at home while Rennes has beaten Strasbourg when playing away or at home.
The prediction for this match seems like Rennes has a greater chance of winning and adding 3 points to look more consistent.
Bad results are possible with a draw.

Maybe Marseille too would have been excluded because they were also unable to deliver as you had expected of them, they drew by too goals against  Reims, they were taking the lead in the first half until the second half where Reims got a goal and a second within the 50th and 70th minute there by taking a lead but later Marseille was able to cling and equalizer before t he end of the second half which made it a draw game for them. I was expecting they would have won the game but turning around to equalize in the second half was a highlight I didn't take too well from Marseille, not with all the players they bought this season, I was expecting much better from them than that which they just did got.

I monitored the Marseille vs Reims match, the first goal was scored initially I was sure they would end this match with a win. but it seems the match did not go well even though they played at home, Reims was able to score two goals in just four minutes in the second half. in fact De Zerbi's team dominated the match, they had a total of 21 shots, 11 of which were on target. unfortunately, they did not convert many into goals. falling behind Reims, De Zerbi's team had difficulty breaking through the opponent's goal. fortunately Greenwood became the savior, thanks to his header Marseille avoided defeat at home. well, it seems De Zerbi has a job to fix the team and its system. especially when they are too focused on attacking, so they are careless when the opposing team counterattacks.

I had Nice on my Parley earlier today but didn't check the scores because Liverpool already lost me the bet but that aside, Nice haven't been able to get back the form they had sometime last season when they gave even PSG a run for their money. I think they have lost their spark now and are finding it very hard to get back to that form. Until Nice can show some strength in their game, I will not be including them into my bet slips.

Today, they only managed a draw despite being at home.

Mason Greenwood have been on another top phase in his new club, he's delivering on every measured and level he found himself. Marseille would be very lucky to have him. Roberto De Zerbi took the managerial role at Olympique Marseille because he's competent and the best man for the job. He secured his first win against Stade Brestois and now sharing points with Stade De Reims which is totally out of the picture. Nobody expected Marseille to dropped points against such a less competitive side because the home team have everything to pursue their winning points.
