French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[beerlover]

Although Marseille dominated the course of the match, the team coached by De Zerbi's squad was no longer able to defeat their opponent. Well, Marseille has played 2 matches without getting positive results. It is very unfortunate, if the two teams above Marseille win their matches, then Marseille will find it quite difficult to catch up on the points difference. IMO, De Zerbi must correct his team again. In addition to their declining performance, it seems that Marseille's players lack discipline. In 7 matches, especially in the last 4 matches, Marseille has received 3 red cards. Clearly, this is not good for De Zerbi in the future. therefore, he must evaluate the players in his team.

Marseille seems to be getting worse and worse, these are not acceptable results, not against these teams at least. I doubt they will go back to last years position, they will finish better than last year, but they are not going to finish that high, not at top three if they keep this up. That's the most important part, fourth place goes to UCL qualifiers and that is worst they can do, anything lower than that and they spent money for nothing, it wouldn't be worth it at all to be just in Europa league, they could do that with less money, it wouldn't be profitable. And if they get these results a few more times then top four would be a pipe dream for them. They need to recover and fix whatever is wrong and win some games.

Somehow, I'm beginning to see it resulting from the fact that its been a series of tight game schedule for these teams and they are trying to see how well they can mange the situation even with all of the busy schedules and al they could do is to just play and hope they get lucky somehow but the players may actually be fatigued and now they are mostly playing based off priority because that may turn out the best way to get the kind of results they may want to get as much as they want it because you see them playing some game with more determination and strength than the other and that could be only due to priority.

In all this you can say that things are focused a lot on the teams that are bigger, but in general I have seen that Ligue 1 is one of the most criticized, but things are also different, for example the fact that in the UCL Lille beat Real Madrid, that was something that made all the bets fall, and this is a fact that now things are going to be more focused on the fact that anything can happen and the fact is that each game is a different story, any team can win, you can't say with certainty as before which team will win, anything can influence now.

Marseille are like a team that has run out of steam, they started smoothly, but now they have started to lose points in two consecutive matches. As a result, Marseille are now five points behind AS Monaco at the top of the standings, it seems they have failed to meet expectations to compete closely with PSG this season. It is indeed too early to talk about it, where the season is still very long, but losing points from a team in the relegation zone has raised concerns. The match which was marked by red cards for both teams, made the course of the match limping, so that Marseille failed to secure full points this week.

The budget that has been spent by Marseille is quite large, they should be able to create better consistency, and finish in a better place this season. By only focusing on domestic competitions, De Zerbi task is relatively easier. The international break gives De Zerbi the opportunity to evaluate his team shortcomings, so that in the future they can rise and continue to pressure PSG and AS Monaco.

I don't believe this final result, it seems like there is a problem being faced by de zerbi's troops after previously starting the season very well but in the last two matches there was a decline in performance, and in the match against Angers today it should be easy to get 3 points considering that Angers is a weak team that is at the bottom of the standings and marseille is playing at home, even marseille was only able to score a goal in the second half but unfortunately the narrow advantage was equalized by Angers, Is this a sign that marseille will not be strong enough to compete with PSG? because initially I hoped they would put pressure on and be able to destroy PSG's dominance.

I expected so much from Marseille this season but how till this time they are not appearing like they have gotten a pattern and form already is something that is getting me disappointed at some point because ordinarily with the kind of squad they were able to build over the summer they should be able to achieve so much already but then it may turn out that this form of there's wouldn't let them be able to match up with PSG as expected of them such that for once again PSG gat a matching contender and will have to work hard if they will be bale to win the league title.

Relax, friends, maybe it's still early in the season, they are still testing some strategies that they can try to improve their abilities in the middle of the season, although some of these matches have disappointments in the results, and are currently still very far from PSG's ability to be above the clouds, because they have quality and have better performance consistency. Losing to Lyon and drawing against Angers left them with a considerable points gap with the owners of the top of the table.

If they continue like that and have no significant development I think Marseille will not be able to compete with PSG further.

Marseille had a good start and at the start of the season when I saw this good performance from this team I was expecting to see Marseille racing with PSG for the title of the French League because of the players they hired during the summer especially Greenwood and De Rebi working in this team. But far they had a bad performance in the two last games while they could win both with good results.
De Zarbi should find the weaknesses as soon as possible in Marseille and avoid losing more points in this team.
However other than Marseille, in the French League so far Monaco was a better competitor for PSG and they are in the first place of the table.

After an impressive start to the new season, it seems Marseille is back to their poor performances of last season. Playing at home against Angers, I predicted that Marseille will easily win the game and even had to stake a huge bet on it only to be disappointed at the end. Another thing to worry about Marseille at the moment is the discipline of the players as they've picked up red in three of their last four games in all competitions. Paris Saint Germaine travel to Nice tomorrow and considering their convincing performances in recent games, getting all three points shouldn't be a big issue for Luis Enrique's men.

[Hirose UK]

The match is ended to draw and Angers is the team from relegation zone and Angers too is the only team who still unable to gets the winning result in Ligue 1 so i thought Marseille will be easily to beat this team but clearly i was wrong about that because Angers is successfully to stole point from Marseille and previously i expect Marseille can being an strong contender for PSG for race title but apparently Marseille still unable to playing consistent and in the last 2 matches in Ligue 1 actually Marseille only facing weak teams but unfortunately Marseille cannot beat their opponents

About the match against Angers actually Marseille is really dominate the game with 77% ball possession but apparently these statistics were useless because Marseille cannot beat Angers and this match apparently has high tension because the players from both of teams has been received the red card and these situation too makes Marseille lost their rhythm and cannot broke the defense of Angers

~snip~

Marseille got me surprised actually as i literally expected more of them and so that performance for me was way below expectations. They had an opponent i wouldn't see as an equal to them considering their form and strength this season and the depth of their squad this season as well as their performance this season, even if it was a victory with a slim edge probably by a goal wouldn't have been seen any less but a draw even if it doesn't happen o be goalless isn't one we should see as really encouraging and to think that they did played so well in that game and their opponent wasn't dominant as they were in that game, I'm believing they will be doing better they have still got some more time before the season goes far.

Not only you but everyone must be very surprised by this because Marseille previously performed quite well and in this match they only played against Angers, the team that is at the bottom of the rankings and is the only one that has not won single match at the start of this season.
Angers is promotion team this season and the draw is very detrimental to Marseille because they can only save 1 point and it is likely that Marseille will be left behind by fairly wide margin later because PSG will only play against Nice and that could be an easy match for PSG to win.
However, what is regrettable is that Marseille has to lose Neal Maupay due to getting red card and he is one of the main players for the front line who will be absent in the next few match in Ligue 1.

Monaco are going pretty even with PSG this season. Even number of matches played so far by these two teams where two teams have equal number of points and two teams have won equal number of matches and these two teams have drawn one match each. PSG have won the title in other seasons as auto choice in France League but Monaco's performance this season looks like they will give PSG tough competition this season. It was a bit different that every season PSG won the local league title without a tough competition but if Monaco could win the title instead of PSG this season then it would be a big event by France. Monaco will have to perform in such a plan to win the title, but they can be successful in this competition.

Yesterday AS Monaco played their seventh match this season in Ligue1 and also won at Rennes. Today PSG will also face Nice at Allianz Riviera and if PSG can win in that away match, of course their position will not change because PSG can return to their top position. But apart from all that, I also quite agree with what you said, where I also hope that Monaco can continue to be consistent in winning their matches this season so that Monaco can become a tough competitor for PSG this season so that it can make Ligue1 more interesting to watch.

It might be a tough challenge for Monaco as PSG is still one of the strongest teams in the French Soccer league and dominates the league (league 1) the most. Monaco's performance in Ligue One this season has been excellent as they are already at the top of the points table after winning a few matches. Which makes them think that they are one of the best contenders to win the League One title this year. Maybe PSG Club will not be left behind in this journey because their position and strength this season is already second in the points table with one match less than Monaco. PSG's next match is against Nice team, maybe PSG will win this match. If PSG wins this match, they will move above Monaco in the points table.

Sure, PSG will take the lead back to the top if they win because they have a better goal differential than Monaco. In yesterday's match against Monaco, Rennes rally made an impression. In addition to having more goal attempts, the home team had superior ball possession. However, those impressive stats did not result in victory. After the defeat, they are now in tenth place, which is not promising.

Following their defeats in the continental competition, Paris Saint-Germain and Nice will look for every way to win again. PSG was soundly defeated by Arsenal, and Nice was defeated by Lazio, an Italian team.  Les Aiglons, who finished in the top five last season, have not been as impressive in the domestic league as they were last season. They have only triumphed twice, both times against lowly teams Saint-Etienne and Angers. To even earn a point from this game, coach Franck Haise's team will have to pull off an incredible feat. Strikers such as Evann Guessand, Youssoufa Moukoko, and Jeremie Boga will be a threat for PSG to contend with.

[len01]

Yesterday's prediction result. I can't think anymore if Saint-Etienne can put up a fight and even their performance is almost equal to Auxerre. Initially I thought both teams could defend each other's goal. But it turned out not according to my prediction.





And this is the prediction for today's match. Hopefully there will be no surprises.

Lyon vs Nantes (BTTS)
Brest vs Le Havre (Brest win)
Reims vs Montpellier (Reims win)
Strasbourg vs Lens (Strasbourg win)
Nice vs PSG (PSG win -1)

Your bet is quite interesting and I think you are on the right choice and almost the same as the bet I placed, but talking about PSG whether they will be able to win above one after the defeat against Arsenal I am quite doubtful they will bounce back in an instant, but here I am a little biased but the possibility of PSG will bounce back is also quite large, but in their last match in Nice they were only able to win narrowly, and with Dembele's injury I think this is a heavy blow for PSG I choose this bet below and I think a narrow victory for PSG in this match.

[bering]

Lyon have done well at Europa league because they can gets 2 winning streak and in Ligue 1 too Lyon last week can able to overcomes Toulouse so obviously they are in the good shape and today Lyon want to improved their position on Ligue 1 by attempt to beat Nantes and if we see based on the position on League standing i can see Nantes has good position than Lyon this because they are at 7th place currently

Actually Lyon has good chances to collect 3 points from this match because Nantes has poor records from them and since 2019 Nantes was never able to win from Lyon while0 playing away and although the recent performance from Nantes is quite well but i think Lyon can beat them and here is the starting lineup for Lyon today

PSG lost 2-0 against Arsenal in the Champions League match. Arsenal is a very strong and experienced team. And in this match we considered Arsenal as favourites. Even then PSG had a chance to win. But PSG's attacking players could not score any goals despite several powerful attacks. Because Arsenal's defense is very strong. But a similar result against Nice is highly unlikely.

In the last match of Ligue 1, PSG team won against Rennes with a margin of 3-1. PSG won the match. PSG players performed very well. Nice is not very strong against PSG in today's match. Nice has managed to win only two out of six matches. So PSG is unlikely to drop points against Nice. Even without Dembele in the squad, PSG's squad is strong enough. Moreover, Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. He will definitely try his best to win the match. I am willing to bet PSG to win.

Marseille vs Angers

Marseille (predicted lineup): Geronimo Rulli, Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius, Lilian Brassier, Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Mason Greenwood, Amine Harit, Luis Henrique, Neal Maupay.

Angers (predicted lineup): Yahia Fofana, Carlens Arcus, Emmanuel Biumla, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Jean Aholou, Haris Belkebla, Jim Allevinah, Himad Abdelli, Zinedine Ferhat, Esteban Lepaul.

Marseille and Angers are set to begin 7th game of the league and Angers are really battling to pick up, at this stage it not early again for me to be expecting any positive outcome from Angers performance, tonight they are playing against the third in the table which I didn't have any hope for them.

We watched high voltage match because both teams did not lose heart . But if we will see the stat then we will consider Olympique de Marseille team as a winner because their shots were impressive and their players played like a player and every player of that team take part in the game by doing his effort.  Their mostly shots on target and we were expecting next goal from that team but In the last minutes Angers team became active and they did defend the goals very well and they did not lose match.  The possession percentage of Olympique de Marseille team was excellent and that was 77 percent which was one sided and passes of that team were also triple plus to the opponent team .

[Velvet78]

Lyon won again this time against Nantes home by 2-0 today. Is it the footsteps of a recovery you think? 



They are on a winning streak of four games now!    This helped them take a deep breath and reach the 7th position temporarily. I hope this is really the indicator of their getting better. But much earlier this time.

Because this happened really late in the previous season if you remember. They still somehow carried themselves to a position to gain a Europa League spot. But it might not happen again if they repeat it. Lyon deserve much better. They have a great history in the Ligue 1.

I don't believe this final result, it seems like there is a problem being faced by de zerbi's troops after previously starting the season very well but in the last two matches there was a decline in performance, and in the match against Angers today it should be easy to get 3 points considering that Angers is a weak team that is at the bottom of the standings and marseille is playing at home, even marseille was only able to score a goal in the second half but unfortunately the narrow advantage was equalized by Angers, Is this a sign that marseille will not be strong enough to compete with PSG? because initially I hoped they would put pressure on and be able to destroy PSG's dominance.

I expected so much from Marseille this season but how till this time they are not appearing like they have gotten a pattern and form already is something that is getting me disappointed at some point because ordinarily with the kind of squad they were able to build over the summer they should be able to achieve so much already but then it may turn out that this form of there's wouldn't let them be able to match up with PSG as expected of them such that for once again PSG gat a matching contender and will have to work hard if they will be bale to win the league title.

Yes, it seems like our hopes will be difficult to come true, my friend, but because League 1 has only been running for 7 weeks, anything can still happen in the future, Marseille's chances of putting pressure and showing their tight competition are still big, in the 8th week they will visit Montpellier's headquarters which we know is currently at the bottom of the standings, this could be an easy win for de Zerbi's squad if he fixes the problems he is facing because if not it will be the same as this match, they will not be able to pocket 3 points. Hopefully De Zerbi can restore Marseille's performance to the beginning of the season.

[Jossque]

Lille came back from a deficit in the first half to win the match 2-1.There were not many scoring positions in the match.
Monaco continues undefeated in the league.Monaco managed to get 3 points away from Rennes and took the lead with more than a game in hand.I can say that Rennes played better in the match, but it is not the one who plays well in the match, but the one who scores enough goals to win wins.
Saint Etienne, on the other hand, managed to defeat their rival Auxerre at home. They managed to get 3 points with 3 goals in the match where Davitashvili scored a hattrick.
