French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[len01]

On paper, AS Monaco and PSG are likely to be able to secure full points. Brest has experienced a significant decline in performance this season, AS Monaco acting as the host is clearly very advantaged. While the PSG versus Toulouse match is actually quite easy to predict, even though Luis Enrique rotates a number of his key players, they will still be favored to secure full points. Brest and Toulouse need a lot of luck to cause an upset.

Logically and quickly predicting, we will say Monaco and PSG win. I agree with this prediction and it will come true for PSG.
However, in the Monaco match against Brest, I am not sure if this will end with a perfect result.
Now let's look back that Brest has played against PSG and Brest as an away team can put up a fight. On the one hand, Monaco was once defeated by Angers whose condition is much worse than Brest.
So I will remain careful and analyze more deeply the Monaco match which I think can give a painful surprise.

There is indeed potential for Brest to make a surprise when visiting Monaco's headquarters, but I think it is very small, in the last 5 meetings Brest has always lost to Monaco so that can also be used as a reference for the match later.
Monaco is currently in its best form, they are in 2nd place in the standings so I think there is no reason not to bet on Monaco's victory in the match against Brest later.
Odds @ 1.53 will be quite worth it with the possibility of Monaco winning the match is very big, I will bet big on this match.

I can totally understand why you would say something like that to Monaco, because consistency is still a big problem for several teams in Ligue 1, almost all of them have the same problem, except Paris Saint Germain. Monaco is currently 6 points behind Paris Saint Germain, so there is no other choice for them than winning to keep their distance from the strongest team in Ligue 1. Their position will also be threatened if they get a draw, especially if they get a defeat. because they are only 3 points away from the team below them at the moment, Marseille. and Marseille themselves will definitely maximize their chances if Monaco gets a negative result.

There is no doubt that PSG does have enough money to recruit the players they want and that is what makes it easy for them to continue to dominate League 1. But even though they can recruit good players they can only perform well in their own league while the Champions League PSG always struggles so I think there is nothing special about PSG other than winning League 1. This season alone PSG looks very struggling in the UCL and has only won 1 of the 4 matches they have played but this is not surprising to me.

A league is much more than just who will win the league, a game between 15th place and 16th place still matters if you want to gamble on it and that is the most important part of making money as well. We are betting on these games thinking that we could make some money and we follow these leagues to make sure that we know everyone and every team and every player etc because that way we could make better decision, like if you see an injured player, knowing how important that player to the team is, could make or break your decision.

We need to keep following even the worst teams, so that we could make better predictions based on the teams playing against each other. This is not really looking like the possible reason at the moment and we can't really just look at PSG and just watch their games and assume that it will do better, that's not really going to end up with a good return if you only watch PSG, and we need to talk about all other teams too.

Not long ago Monaco were ahead of PSG, just a few rounds ago, but now they are already 6 points behind them. I understand your logic that Monaco needs a win to prevent the gap from growing even bigger, but in reality, things could work out differently, if PSG were able to break away by 6 points, then for Monaco it could mean losing faith that they can continue to fight PSG for the title. I don't believe that PSG will start dropping points again and let them get too close.

Everything changed when Monaco lost 8 points from the last 5 matches they played. Yes, they received 2 defeats and 1 draw so that after they were in front of Paris Saint Germain, now they have to be behind Paris Saint Germain with a fairly large gap. In Ligue 1, 6 points is a gap that will be very difficult to catch up with, especially if the one being chased is Paris Saint Germain. Now I agree that at least Monaco can maintain the existing gap by winning the match. besides that, of course they will hope that Paris Saint Germain will have bad luck this week by losing points, either a draw or a defeat.

Previously we saw Monaco and Marseille could put strong pressure on PSG at the beginning of the season, but in just a few games they started to lose concentration and also consistency which ultimately made PSG run alone at the moment, I think this season will not be different from the previous season which will still show PSG's dominance and strength in ligue 1, although Monaco and Marseille has tried to improve their squads, but in fact PSG still have a significant advantage with their strong squads and incredible team depth, so it doesn't look like it will give another team a chance to be at the top of the table until the end of the season.

It's quite difficult to happen, PSG has above average strength so I think Monaco just needs to focus on their team and consistently show their best performance, and to be able to become champions I think it's quite difficult because if you look at the overall strength of PSG it's still far above Monaco, the PSG team has strong enough finances so it's difficult to compete with them.
And I think Monaco stays under PSG and just puts pressure on the title race until the end of the season is good enough.

[ITExpert]

PSG have started to get used to the absence of Mbappe in the team who moved to Real Madrid even though overall his loss has made the front line a little affected. In Ligue 1 PSG is still the strongest team that is very difficult to beat by any team and we can see how PSG's dominance is still quite strong until now. Monaco tries to do their best to compete but to what extent they are able to survive and remain consistent until the end of the season.

If they want to compete with PSG, then Monaco or other clubs must have the same quality of players as PSG because otherwise it will be difficult for any team to compete for the title because PSG will definitely be the favorite.

I think PSG's condition and performance doesn't seem to warrant it being number one. If you look at their record, their upcoming matches will be difficult which will make their record worse.I would put Monaco and PSG on equal footing as they both have similar records. Because of which I will not give the right to call PSG a strong team.But in the upcoming matches of both the teams, one of the two teams can go up, in which I think PSG will perform better and improve the position.

PSG is not a team capable enough to beat every team.  If you look at their record, Alt Madrid  has beaten PSG by 1 goal. Also, there are enough matches where PSG are not good so I wouldn't call them the best team.If they play the best they will be favourites, not so good record compared to Monaco who are not so special.

Losing 8 points in the last 4 games has left Monaco further behind PSG who have not been defeated in Ligue 1 since the start of the season, after last drawing at Nice's headquarters, PSG managed to improve their quality by achieving four consecutive wins. It will be difficult for Monaco to close the gap with PSG if they are not consistent in maintaining their performance, I am very skeptical about Monaco's ability to break PSG's dominance because there is still a possibility that they will lose points in the next match.

[Velvet78]

Total odds of 4.68 with 2 games in a parlay... It seems very tempting first of all.    It would be nice for a fun bet as well in my opinion.

I just doubt Monaco more than PSG here. Because you know, PSG have scored the double amount of theirs in the Ligue 1 so far. Monaco aren't very good at numbers. In offense I mean otherwise their defense is pretty solid considering they are the least conceding team. But 18 goals in 11 games just worry me for my bet.    But let's see... Brest aren't having a good season. So it is still quite possible for Monaco to get such comfortable win.

[junder]

Monaco vs Brest will be the opening match in the 12th week of League 1, on paper it is clear that Monaco has the opportunity to win the match, especially playing at home, besides that 3 points are a must if you want to continue to approach the points from the top of the standings because the 6-point gap is quite difficult to catch up.
However, on the other hand, Brest cannot be underestimated even though they are currently in 12th position in the standings and can be said to be quite inconsistent in League 1, but in the UCL they play well, this indicates that Brest also has the opportunity to win this match or at least manage to hold the home team to a draw.
In my opinion, if you look at the overall statistics, both teams can score goals, BTTS might be considered in betting, what do you think?

[Juse14]

We will start the week with 2 matches.In the first match we will watch Monaco Brest.Monaco is of course the heavy favorite against Brest at home and in case of a possible point loss, the points difference between them and PSG will widen.I think they can defeat Brest decisively.
...................

On paper, the abilities of the two teams are very far apart, especially in this match AS Monaco is in a fairly advantageous position because it is playing at home. So it is only natural that in this match AS Monaco is highly favored to win the match. However, on the other hand, it is very unfortunate that three AS Monaco players cannot attend, namely F. Bagon and E. Diop who are injured, while L. Camara due to card accumulation cannot participate in this match. And it is very unfortunate that L. Camara cannot participate in the match considering that he is a fairly dominant player, as a midfielder he not only helps strengthen the defense, but he also often helps the team in carrying out attacks, and it is recorded that in 10 matches with AS Monaco he managed to score 2 goals.

I don't think it's very important that Brest is playing in the Champions League, their performance last year was quite good, yes, but they can't play the same way this year. They've lost a lot of points, especially in recent weeks, we can say they're not in shape at all.

When you look at their performance in recent weeks, Monaco isn't very good either, they've made a lot of mistakes too, but I still think they have a much higher chance of winning this match

It is indeed quite difficult to break PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 as long as other teams like Monaco do not have star players or players who are better than those currently owned by PSG. The defeat of eight points is quite a lot so Monaco must be able to work extra hard in the upcoming matches while hoping that PSG can experience defeat in the next matches in Ligue 1 this season. Because without any defeats experienced by PSG, of course it will be quite difficult for any team in Ligue 1 to catch up with PSG's points until the end of the season.

Last 3 rounds having serious impact on league table while we have bad results for many top teams which were doing good job but now struggling and having serious chance of going down in ranks PSG is surely going to take good advantage as currently they are having 6 points difference which is enough for keeping them strong contender for title race in this season.

Now we have still 23 rounds in this season which can bring many changes at the top, but we need consistency and quality which is not easy while few clubs are facing serious crisis due to finances and injuries are also their problems so they are not able to have enough suitable replacements which give them better results Monaco and Marseille surely strong for staying at these spots, but we can face challenges for them from few clubs which were good in last season.

Every season we can see a other team that has been able to surprise us in ligue 1, but their consistency was only at the beginning of the season when PSG still did not find their best form, but slowly they began to be eliminated from the championship with PSG again taking over the top of the standings, what we has seen this season shows how a big challenge must be faced by a ligue 1 other team to end PSG dominance in the league, monaco was able to surprise us with their outstanding performance at the beginning of the season, but when the season started they started to be inconsistent and left them far behind PSG at the moment, PSG have a very strong and consistent squad, whileMonaco I think need to improve their performance significantly and maintain consistency in every game to be able to continue to provide competition for PSG later.

Monaco vs Brest

Monaco possible starting lineup:
Majecki; Singo, Kehrer, Salisu, Caio Henrique; Magassa, Camara; Akliouche, Ilenikhena, Ben Seghir; Embolo

Brest possible starting lineup:
Bizot; Zogbe, Chardonnet, Ndiaye, Amavi; Magnetti, Lees-Melou, Martin; Faivre, Ajorque, Mama Balde

Monaco is to begin the league against Brest at Stade Louis II; both teams are starting the league after the international break. Monaco has shown an excellent performance since the start of the season. Currently, they occupy second place with 23 points. Monaco has had 6 games at Stade Louis II, in which they recorded 3 wins, two draws and one loss, while Brests are so very poor when playing away games; they have poor performance; out of five away matches played, they only managed to win a game. With my assessment, I will have strong feelings that Monaco has a chance of winning due to poor Brest performance.

I can totally understand why you would say something like that to Monaco, because consistency is still a big problem for several teams in Ligue 1, almost all of them have the same problem, except Paris Saint Germain. Monaco is currently 6 points behind Paris Saint Germain, so there is no other choice for them than winning to keep their distance from the strongest team in Ligue 1. Their position will also be threatened if they get a draw, especially if they get a defeat. because they are only 3 points away from the team below them at the moment, Marseille. and Marseille themselves will definitely maximize their chances if Monaco gets a negative result.

I don't believe that PSG will start dropping points again and let them get too close.

I also think Paris Saint-Germain will not lose points. Monaco has a very difficult task on the way to the championship. Because the team they need to beat is Paris Saint-Germain. They are one of the best teams in Europe, dominating the French league and beating every team easily. But of course anything is possible. The league is a tough marathon. They need to maintain this until the end. If they lose one after another somewhere, Monaco can catch them, just like Manchester City. Otherwise, it does not seem realistic for Monaco to catch them.

Monaco, who are doing very well in the Champions League, unfortunately cannot show the same performance in the French league. When this is the case, it is very normal for them to fall behind Paris Saint-Germain. I thought they had a very good squad this year. They were also going well on the way to the championship with this squad, but they have started to stumble recently. They will not be able to replace the points they have lost in a row. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, continues without mistakes and if they continue like this until the end of the league, they will be champions this year as they do every year.
