French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

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.

The high hopes for Marseille in this second match had to be postponed because Reims managed to hold Marseille to a draw with their 2 goals in the second half. Although in terms of ball possession and play, Marseille was truly superior in all lines. However, just like Bayern Munich, they were not effective and accurate enough. They even had many shots and shots on target, but only 2 goals.

Here I really salute the various saves made by Reims to avoid defeat.

Anyway, Mason Greenwood, who was bought from Man United, this time became Marseille's savior with his goal after falling behind Reims, so they could end in a draw.

And in the previous match, Greenwood also scored 2 goals. This was a successful purchase for Marseille.

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.

The very obvious difference Lyon clearly had difficulties in their attack line just like the beginning of last season where they were in the relegation zone with the fewest points, but fortunately they were able to rise in the middle of the season and appeared surprising when playing against Monaco who were in 3rd place at that time they won both away and home games. It was quite surprising to see Lyon lose in this match especially since they played as the host club and couldn't make any shots at all I think Lyon will experience the same period as last season for the beginning of this season.
And we'll see if Lyon can rise again in the middle of the season or do they need to change some more coaches when going through this season just like last season.?

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.

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.

Greenwood first season with Marseille was really quite amazing because in the first two matches he managed to score 3 goal and showed how good his contribution was playing in Ligue 1.
I sure that in the future Greenwood will greatly help Marseille in achieving success or more victories, maybe there will be doubts about being able to win the League and surpass PSG but at least Marseille can perform much better than before.
If we talk about the previous match, I think it is natural if there is draw and Marseille must share points considering that Reims is also team that was right below Marseille last season, in preparation for this season Reims also looks quite serious so that they are able to match Marseille.
Only thing I saw in this match was the poor defense of Marseille, they were quite messy and much better in the previous match against Brest.

[hyudien]

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.

I think it's a fair result for Nice and also Toulouse, in terms of their game they look balanced even their statistics in creating chances are not very different, so it's a fair result for both. Unlike last season, this season Nice started with a faltering start, they struggled to play and win. At the beginning of last season they were good in defense but they were not very productive in creating goals. This season it seems they have problems in both, in defense they look more fragile and in the front line just like last season where they had a lot of trouble creating goals. If this continues without a quick solution, I think they will reach a worse position than last season. But let's just wait because this is only the first 2 matches.

[asriloni]

It seemed to me that PSG became more of a scorer after Mbappe left.
They conceded six goals to Montpellier's net in four games last week.
I think the team is a more goalscoring team and they have become a complete team.
Yesterday, left wing Barcola showed what a quality left wing he is with the first goal he scored. He hit the ball with the toe of his foot and scored the goal.
I'm already wondering how they will perform in front of Lille on September 1.
I would like to reiterate that my candidate for the championship this year is Marseille.

Impressive game from PSG. I didn't expect we would play with more intensity and variety in our game against Montpellier. The result against Montpellier proved that if we're fine without Mbappe. I think that getting rid of Mbappe was the solution to all our problems. Also, it means our attack is not centered on him. Barcola was outstanding in this game. He is the closest to the young Mbappe. I think he will be more clinical in the upcoming games. He may become the next big star after Mbappe.

Neves is also amazing in this game. He had two assists and 17 touches. That's great for a young player. Neves' price looked like such a bargain with his contribution to the squad.

First PSG learned to play without Messi and Neymar, now they have repeated it without Mbappe and by the way they did not have to buy new expensive forwards, when there were many rumors about Osikhem, Kvaratskhelia or even Vinicius. Enrique achieved very good results at the beginning of the season, after such victories there is no doubt that they will continue to dominate Ligue 1, and of course they will continue to try to win the Champions League. I think it would be good to give Enrique enough time to be part of this team for a long time.

It seems that Nice can no longer be like last season and must be careful before deciding to bet on every Nice match. In other words, Nice first match was a defeat and the second match was a draw and that means the team is inconsistent and will always give bad results in every bet we make. Initially I also thought about betting on Nice victory but again seeing that Nice is unstable and avoiding the match is the safest.
The next match Nice will play against a promoted team and if Nice still fails to get 3 points or even just loses again, I think Nice should be excluded from our betting slip.

[Velvet78]

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.

I don't understand that kind of Asian odds much honestly. I assume those ones won?    However Auxerre got a red card and couldn't score. In the same way, Marseille also couldn't beat Reims home.

It was unexpected to see a comeback by Reims after watching Marseille on the first week. If Marseille were able to score the second goal earlier then maybe they could have still won. Anyways, sorry about your loss. It seems like Marseille are still not credible enough. I assume I will continue with bets on PSG's games.    But rather than on their win, it is better to bet on goals. Because you know, it isn't worth the risk as the odds for their win are very low.

Actually I think this is a healthier team than before, not to say it's the cause of chaos, but if they rely too much on star players it's not good either, and I think that's what Paris Saint Germain experienced when they still had Mbappe, and in the previous season they had Neymar and Messi. Look at them now, they are still fine without any star players, that proves that they are very capable of doing it. But the problem is they can only show this in the domestic league, they haven't been able to show the same thing when they are in the Champions League. the question is are they able to perform like this in the Champions League? because the competition there is much tighter.

PSG is living a new era without Mbappe in the squad and of course this is a challenge for Enrique to show their fans that PSG is still fine even without Mbappe in the squad, PSG started the season quite well after they achieved two wins so far and even in two that the match they were actually able to score 10 goals with 1 conceded which indicates that PSG goal productivity is still quite good so far, but in this case of course we still haven't seen any opponents that might be a bit worthy for PSG to face, but even so, I don't will never doubt PSG capacity to compete in Ligue 1 although they won't be as strong as last season, but it is very likely that this season Ligue 1 trophy will still be in their hands, but what worries me a little is their performance in the Champions League, which most likely won't be as good like previous seasons.

[Jody.Drummer]

My special credit goes to Paris Saint Germain in these first 2 matches, because they were able to score 10 goals in 2 matches, they seemed to want to prove that they are also very capable even without Mbappe. Indeed, they should be more motivated and answer all what many people have said about them lately. Yes, they are doubted a lot and they are the subject of conversation because with what they have, they seem to be begging for players with star status.

Apart from Paris Saint Germain, another club that is also good in terms of goal productivity in these first 2 matches is Marseille. They were able to score 7 goals in those 2 matches, although in the second match they had to be satisfied with only being able to draw. However, that could be a positive signal for them as long as they can maintain their consistency well.

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

In today's match of Marseille vs Reims team, two teams have performed equally, for which no team could win in today's match. From the first to the end of the game, the players of both teams have performed very well in today's match. With the support of Marseille team, I bet in this match that Marseille team will draw in this match.  I did not win today's bet for. Goalkeeper Y. Diouf of Reims team did very well in today's match for which Y. Diouf team managed to draw the match.

Greenwood has turned out to be one of the best signings Marseille did in the last summer, sometimes it feels like certain things does happens for good because after greenwood had issues t Manchester United it felt like his career meeting it's end but here is a been of hope again and he's just set record in his new team something he wouldn't have achieved at Manchester United. For Marielle, this is a season for them to position their selves rightly such that they're going to be i n the title race even if their start isn't having a very perfect take off there's still chance to do better.

To be honest, I expected Marseille to win this match. But Marseille's performances have been as erratic as last season. I don't see much improvement in this team. In the first match, Marseille won against Brest with a big margin of 5-1. Despite the match being Marseille's away match, Marseille players showed great dominance. That's why my expectations from Marseille in the match against Reims were very high. Marseille failed to win the match despite the match being Marseille's home match.

Marseille performed well in the home match against Reims. But Marseille failed to win the match due to some weakness of the defenders. Marseille's players made a total of 21 shots in this match. 11 of these were on target. Reims' goalkeeper performed brilliantly. Otherwise Reims would have conceded more goals in the match.

Marseille's attack is strong enough as we have already seen it. Marseille now need to strengthen their defence. If they can do that then maybe this team will be able to compete for the title.

It could happen to Barcola this season because he can also draw more attention to him when he starts to be able to make a better contribution at PSG now. I also saw PSG playing quite well against Montpellier and if things like that can continue to be improved and maintained by PSG this season, I think PSG can put up a slightly fiercer fight in the UCL this season because what PSG needs now is teamwork and also the accuracy of the players in giving their passes to the front line. The rest is to build a better team defense in the back line so that it is not easily destroyed when facing a team that is bigger than Montpellier.

Lyon did a drama like last season when at the start of the season to the second half of the season, Lyon appeared very badly. But after approaching the end of the season, Lyon appeared very strongly able to finish in the top 6 positions. I wonder what Lyon is planned at this time but always happens at the beginning of the season always performs poorly but I am not too far into the problems that occur with Lyon but I'm still sure this team will do the same thing.
BTW, Monaco is also still the same as last season with big ambitions but still with his best appearance to secure 2 wins and is currently competing with Lille who currently also appears more consistent without conceding.

Lyon lost a significant advantage by losing on their home field. The matches you play on your home field for three points are very valuable. If you cannot get three points, you need to investigate where you made a mistake. Paris Saint-Germain will win the championship for League One. Everyone, both partial and impartial, has now accepted this. Olympique Lyon, Monaco, Lille are the other teams competing to be second. Olympique Lyon, on the other hand, did not get a point because they were defeated in the first two matches, and their chances of being second are getting weaker day by day.

Two games and two losses are what Lyon got so far in this season and it was not good for this team to get these results yet. Lyon lost the game to Monaco with a 2-0 result however Manaco is a strong team but these two games can't put Lyon in a bad situation and this can even the coach under pressure for the next game. Lyon was even close to getting relegated in the last season and they got their coach fired because of these bad results. It seems now just like the last season they still had a bad start during this season.

Greenwood performed quite well in Ligue 1, although he was not positioned as a center forward. However, he has shown his ability by scoring three goals in two matches with Marseille, he did not waste the opportunity given to him by De Zerbi. However, we cannot be sure whether Greenwood is able to perform consistently, we hope he is able to give his best for his team at this time. Actually, this player is quite interesting, he performed well with Getafe last season. However, for some reason Ten Hag was reluctant to try him with United, even though his talent has the potential to develop further. Well, in Ligue 1 Greenwood can hone his talent further under De Zerbi's guidance. At least, if he can perform well, his position in Marseille will not be replaced by other players. By the way, in last night's match Elye Wahi was very underperformed and unfortunately Marseille does not have a more established center forward.

Ligue 1 repeat itself with the same teams dominating the top places with PSG in front as usual with a lot of goals scored. Marseille is still following but rapidly fall with their mistakes. Lyon in the other hand didn't learn anything from the bad start they had in the previous season and they were knocked by 5 goals in two games against Rennes and Monaco. Rennes isn't even a stable team!

[hahay]

Impressive game from PSG. I didn't expect we would play with more intensity and variety in our game against Montpellier. The result against Montpellier proved that if we're fine without Mbappe. I think that getting rid of Mbappe was the solution to all our problems. Also, it means our attack is not centered on him. Barcola was outstanding in this game. He is the closest to the young Mbappe.

The rest is to build a better team defense in the back line so that it is not easily destroyed when facing a team that is bigger than Montpellier.

The two matches that PSG have played in Ligue 1 are basically easy matches, because their opponents are mediocre teams. Although indeed, winning with a big score like that is certainly impressive but this is just the beginning and there is no guarantee for PSG to be able to get good results in the Champions League too. Because after all, playing in the Champions League will have different results from the results obtained in the domestic league. So yes, I hope PSG does not get carried away with the good start.

Because after all, basically PSG is still the strongest team in Ligue 1 so yes, it is not surprising that PSG is still fine in Ligue 1 because even without Mbappe, in fact PSG is still the strongest candidate team to win the trophy in Ligue 1. Well, I think a case like this also happened to Tottenham when they have good start the season after Kane left to Bayern Munich at that time, but in the end they still failed. With examples like that, I think we also can't be too satisfied, because PSG also haven't gotten or haven't met to play against a more difficult team.

[Palakka]

Two games and two losses are what Lyon got so far in this season and it was not good for this team to get these results yet. Lyon lost the game to Monaco with a 2-0 result however Manaco is a strong team but these two games can't put Lyon in a bad situation and this can even the coach under pressure for the next game.

Lyon in the other hand didn't learn anything from the bad start they had in the previous season and they were knocked by 5 goals in two games against Rennes and Monaco. Rennes isn't even a stable team!

I think this season we will see different conditions occur in Ligue 1 after Mbappe left the PSG squad, but in fact PSG are still able to show their performance and also their dominance so far over other teams in Ligue 1, when now PSG is in at the top of the standings, I think it will be difficult for other teams to be able to shift their position from the top of the standings because so far the other teams in Ligue 1 are not competent to be able to destroy PSG dominance, apart from that, the unstable performance from of PSG rival teams is actually allowing PSG to continue to be at the top of the standings very safely, as we can see now currently Marseille, Lyon and also Lens are not able to optimize their the match  should be able to win, next week  match we will see PSG face Lille who is second position in standing , So when PSG wins over Lille later, won't PSG easily leave the other teams like last season?
