French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Lidger]

PSG 1 -0 Rennes

Luis Enrique is more worried about the Champions League match at the moment. PSG will play against the powerful Arsenal in the next Champions League match. Arsenal team is strong, also the match is Arsenal's home match. So it is challenging to perform well in this Champions League match against PSG. Even so, Luis Enrique will do his best to beat Arsenal.

PSG will play cautiously against Rennes today. Because Luis Enrique will definitely not want any of his squad's key players to suffer injury while performing in this match. Because Luis Enrique's first priority is the Champions League match. However, PSG managed to perform well against Rennes in the first half. PSG dominated the match with 66% ball possession in the first half. A lot of attacks were also carried out by PSG players. and managed to score a goal. Barcola's goal gave PSG the lead. I think PSG will play defensively in the second half. PSG players will not try to attack too much.

Against Rennes, PSG were the pre-match favorites and PSG were ahead of the win and we saw that at the end of the match. 3-1 goal difference can be called a big win.  PSG have been ahead of all other teams since the start of the season. There is a gap of 3 points between PSG's points and Marseille, who are second in the points table. However, PSG has already played one match more than Marseille. If any team is going to compete with PSG this season, it will be Marseille. If PSG want to stay safe in the French league, they need to increase their points gap with the team in the second position of the points table.

Lyon being bad is definitely something historically sad. I watched them dominate this league when I was growing up, during my college years Lyon was the best team and they had some great European games as well not just France, and unfortunately financial ruin caused them to never recover.

Lyon's decline occurred when entering the 2021/2022 season they struggled to be in the top 4 and ended up in the middle of the table until last season fortunately last season Lyon did not experience relegation even though this club had difficulty rising until finally they were able to survive the relegation zone it can be said that they are still lucky to get the chance to survive in League One this season. However, this season I do not guarantee whether they can survive in League 1 because they have again recorded poor results lately and I don't know what went wrong even though they recruited many players this summer and I thought Lyon could return to its best version, it turned out to be the same.

Lyon have yet to find a rhythm in the league. It is not easy for their defense to inspire confidence in the matches they play. However, Lyon have been involved in goal scoring matches this season. Toulouse, on the other hand, can be tactically unraveled quickly in a match, but offensively, they have a risky tactical approach, so they don't struggle to find goals against teams that play out wide. They are having a bad season but they don't struggle to score.

Toulouse are the hosts in this match and considering Lyon's defensive balance, they have the potential to score. Both teams haven't had a good start in the league and Toulouse will want to use the home advantage to open up the points difference with their opponent. My favorite in this match is the home team.

Donnarumma the Italian goalkeeper of PSG joined this team back in 2021 after leaving AC Milan once his contract was ended in Serie A and he decided to play for PSG until now.
During all these three years, Donnarumma had a good performance and he was effective in PSG the result they got because of saving his team many times in the games we saw from this goalkeeper so far, the contract of Donnarumma is going to end in 2026 but PSG doesn't want to take any risk and they decide to extend the contract of this 25-year-old goalkeeper since they start negotiations for it.

So far Lyon have not been in good enough form in the league and this shows that something is wrong with their at the moment, Lyon has spent a lot of money in the transfer market but they have not been able to show a sufficiently impressive performance and have only been able to win 1 win and also 1 draw from the 5 matches they have played, the match against Toulouse should be the beginning of their current resurgence because indeed Toulouse also has a bad performance this season, in terms of the game of the two teams I think is not too different and it is very likely that one of the teams will be able to win with a narrow score in the match, Lyon is in a big ambition to restore their current form and the victory over Olympiakos in the Europa League should be their motivation in the match to return to the positive trend in the league.

It would be a good call for PSG. Because they have a really solid goalkeeper and he is still very young (25). I still can't believe they signed him for free.    If I'm not wrong he had problems with Milan which helped this to happen.

Normally I wouldn't let go of such a goalkeeper. But currently Milan also have a really good goalkeeper like Maignan so no problem for them.

Anyways, Donnarumma makes 12.7 million euros a year for now and it goes up to 18 million with bonuses. But he is still not one of top earners considering how many players are ahead of him.

There are some good matches in the French Ligue 1. But I am interested in Toulouse vs Lyon, especially Lyon. They managed to turn into a good team in the second half of last season. But they started this season badly. They also started the first half of last season badly. And they finished the first half of last season badly. This season they have only one win. They only managed to beat Strasbourg. They conceded goals in all their league games. On the other hand, Toulouse, just like Lyon, have had bad results in Ligue 1 this season. Both teams are of equal strength if we make a comparison according to their results. I'm going to bet on both teams to score in this match. I think it will be a game with a lot of surprises.

To be fair Lyon was terrible at the start of last season as well, and they ended up being a lot better later on and finished fine. I am not saying that they will do the exactly same thing, but they did have a better start this time around, so it's possible that they could potentially have something that will benefit them and finish better, the potential is there and I think it will be fine without a doubt. I know that this looks like it is not a big deal for the time being because they are not at the bottom because they were literally at the very bottom last year for a few games, and then they started to do better.

I believe that financial troubles could be causing a lot of internal turmoil for them, there are rumours that they are not even capable of paying for salaries on time, they are having some big issues and if this keeps up then someone may have to take over the team, someone who would not even pay for the team, just accept the deal in exchange of taking on the debt, it's going that way. I think if this keeps going then we are going to end up with something that will not be all that easy to ignore, but for now Lyon isn't looking as bad as people make them out to be at all.

In this case, Donnarumma clearly made PSG fans amazed with himself who has become a starter since coming to Paris and competing with other best goalkeepers, this Italian goalkeeper is clearly one of the best goalkeepers today with the advantage of reflexes and also his ideal body is good for a goalkeeper in my opinion in this negotiation PSG must find a place for him so that he can last long because he is quite good under the crossbar, this player who once defended Milan clearly has good and quite impressive technique and in my opinion he deserves appreciation from management with a salary increase so that he feels appreciated there.

He Donnarumma is still young and there is still a lot of time for him to prepare himself to be better and in my opinion with head coach Entique he is clearly developing rapidly for him Donnarumma he is good and perfect under Courtois because of his impressive appearance he deserves his best offer at PSG.

Lyon have been in a very deep decline and they don't even look like a team that is ready to compete at the top of Ligue 1 this season. They have experienced 3 defeats and only 1 victory, that is a different statistic from what they showed last season. In fact, they were also widely anticipated this season and were expected to perform well. Now they are playing against Toulouse and I also wonder how they were able to get that goal. Lol
From the game they showed in this match, honestly it doesn't make me believe enough that they can win the match, because they couldn't develop their game at all, that's my view of their performance in this match.

[Jossque]

Lens drew at home against Nice. Lens played well against Nice but couldn't find the goal. In 6 weeks they are still undefeated. The season is going well for Lens.
Lille won comfortably away from home. Lille hadn't won for 3 weeks after taking 3 points with 3 goals against Le havre.
Monaco, on the other hand, continues in the league. Monaco, who beat Montpellier 2-1 at home, are in a race with PSG.

I still remember Lyon on the second half of last season is very fantastic because within months Lyon under Pierre Sage can able to bounce back from relegation zone fo finish at European zone and this also caused why Lyon owner has decide to give Pierre Sage new contract because they were impress to see Lyon progress under Pierre Sage

Before this season begin i was predict Lyon can able to compete for top 4 position because i thought their performance will be same just like last season but seems i was wrong about that because Lyon has starting this season with poor performance and currently Lyon only able to occupy 10th place with only can collect 7 points from 6 matches

About the match against Toulouse today Lyon dramatically can win from Toulouse with the final scores 2-1 and this match is not easy for Lyon and almost ended to draw but luckily the goal from Fofana from stoppage time makes Lyon can win this match and this is positive result from Lyon and this is also Lyon first winning of this month in Ligue 1

There are several matches played today in ligue 1, but I think there are no matches that we can be interested in watching because there is indeed no match that is classified as a big match today, the match between Toulouse and Lyon has ended with Lyon victory 2-1  over Toulouse, after a series of bad results in the league finally Lyon can again win 3 points in the match they played,  As we predicted earlier, if the match will quite balanced considering the performance of the two teams which are indeed in very bad condition in the league so far, although Lyon is superior in terms of player quality but the performance they showed in the match was not better Toulouse, even before I thought today Lyon would again lose after Gboho was able to bring Toulouse ahead 1-0 over Lyon in the 14th minute,  But luckily for them after Nicolaisen own goal in the 28th minute made the match a draw1-1 And again lifted the morale of the Lyon players before they locked up the victory with Fofana goal towards the end of the match.

Lyon win over Toulouse moved them up to 10th, but another tough game awaits them next week against Nantes and let's see if they can keep the positive trend or not in next match.

Today we will witness an important match especially for Marseille, currently de Zerbi's squad has 13 points minus 3 points to catch up with the leader of the standings, namely PSG with 16 points and the temporary runner-up Monaco with the same points, if Marseille is able to achieve positive results, of course the competition in the standings for the time being will be more interesting in week 6.
Visiting Strasbourg's headquarters, I think the target of 3 points can be achieved by de Zerbi's troops, although it is undeniable that Strasbourg is a difficult opponent, because they have only suffered 1 defeat, 1 win, and 3 draws, this shows that a draw can happen again, in this case Marseille must work harder.
Let's just see the match that will start soon

The closing match of the 6th week seems to be fierce, where both teams are ambitious to get three additional points, especially Marseille who do not want to lose the momentum of sticking to PSG and Monaco at the top of the standings. On paper, even though Strasbourg acts as the host, Marseille is slightly more favored. The appointment of De Zerbi as the new manager has really changed many things, especially their style of play. Even in the previous match, Marseille managed to win over Lyon even though one of their players received a red card. The mentality that Marseille now has looks very ready to put pressure on PSG. Although this match cannot be said to be easy for Marseille, I personally predict that Mason Greenwood and his colleagues will be able to steal 3 points. Strasbourg has only managed to win one so far, maybe the best result they could get today is 1 point. We'll see if Marseille steps will stumble, with Strasbourg managing to create a surprise.

Strasbourg vs Marseille.

This match will be held in less than an hour, Marseille will play away against Strasbourg. The match confuses me a little, because the odds of both teams are not that significant. Although Strasbourg acts as the home team, they are not actually a strong team. In the 5 matches they played, Strasbourg was only able to win 1 match, 3 draws and 1 loss. On the other hand, Marseille only experienced 1 draw and 4 matches with full points. However, the odds of these two teams do not have a big difference, even though both teams have a gap in the standings. Strasbourg with odds @3.20, while Marseille with @2.17. The choice is clearly ideal to bet on Marseille, even though there are Marseille players who are absent and one player is punished for a red card. At least, De Zerbi's team wants full points to equal points with Paris Saint-Germain who are at the top of the standings. My guess is, because based on H2H the last 4 meetings the match always ended in a draw, that's why the bookies present odds with a small difference even though Marseille is still slightly more favored. but I'm pretty sure that De Zerbi's team will win this match.

That's true, but one thing you should also realize about Strasbourg is that Strasbourg is not completely weak if I consider the five matches played so far in Ligue 1. Although Strasbourg previously played against Rennes, Lyon and Lille but in fact Strasbourg still managed to provide very good resistance and in fact, Strasbourg is also quite fertile so far with always having a goal in every match. With Strasbourg's results in the previous five matches,  and considering the results Strasbourg has in head to head against Marseille which is more often a draw, then I think it is very reasonable if their odds difference in this match is not much different.

Although indeed, I also realize that I also still think Marseille will be able to not lose to Strasbourg, but that does not mean Marseille will get a victory too. Because I believe, Strasbourg is really capable of being able to play well in this home match, so I think a draw is still possible to happen again. Although for example Marseille managed to win, it seems that it is  not at all easy even if it only wins with a thin score, because Strasbourg is not a  completely weak team.
