French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

BTTS was really a good option for the Lille - Nice game and it won easily.    For today I'm thinking of taking only PSG win for my parlay. It has 1.74 odds which is very tempting.    Lens aren't a bad team. They have a really solid defense as well considering they have conceded nearly the same amount of goals as PSG as well. This must be why the odds for PSG win are a little higher than the expectations.

Actually Lens don't have a bad history in home games against PSG in the recent years. But I still want to pick PSG win instead of making a goal bet or any other bet. I'm curious about another thing whether we would see Kvara in the second half. He is a great signing honestly.

It is undeniable that Monaco's performance has really declined lately. At least in the last 4 matches, there has not been a single win. So currently, Monaco's position must be taken over by LOSC in 3rd place. Their 2 strikers Balogun and Ilenikhena are injured which will last quite a long time.

So this is quite influential on their performance. It's just that, in this match, Monaco lost to Montpellier, it was a bit disappointing. Because after all, their opponent was the club at the bottom of the relegation zone, while Monaco had a lot of opportunities that were wasted.

Going by this result I will be probably forced to agree that indeed Monaco's performance has really dropped and they aren't doing any well at this point,  they should be doing better than this, montpellier has done any beyond  average this season and so they shouldn't have been of a challenge to Monaco who has been above them by their performances,  except that this season they have been inconsistent with it, probably next season they do better but gradually I'm beginning to think they may not end up with a really decent finish by the end of this season but they will be able to be amongst top ten and possibly five if they get consistent with hard work.

After a series of negative results in the previous few matches, I thought Monaco had risen and can returned to winning ways especially by only facing a team that was in the relegation zone at this time, but the defeat to Montpellier was actually very surprising to us especially if we look at the quality of the two teams that are very significant at this time, although they were able to excel in the first half but precisely their poor concentration and defence allowed Montpellier to comeback to win in end the match, I see this is the main problem from other  big teams in ligue 1 to break PSG dominance so far, although the rival teams has improved the quality of their squad, but their mentality is very bad and even difficult to win from teams weaker than them so far, the defeat further distanced them from PSG and  I think Monaco has officially dropped out of the title competition this season by dropping to 4th place standing.

[Slow death]

Montpellier had been woeful in their last 5 games in the league, i wonder how they managed to beat Monaco? i won't have believed it if i was told earlier on that Montpellier would win Monaco today especially now that Monaco needed to use this match to try and get back to form. Monaco themselves are not in form lately and thus needed this win to get back on track, but their opponent had something else installed for them.

The funny thing about this result is that Monaco had more possession of the ball, they had 11 shots on target compared to just 4 from Montpellier, but they only scored 1 goal against an opponent who in the last 6 games, in 5 of them, conceded 2 goals in each game. 


Today's games:

Lens - Paris Saint-Germain (I see PSG coming out on top in this game, they'll at least score 2 goals and both teams will score)

Rennes - Brest (I see this game ending in a draw with both teams scoring)

Lyon - Toulouse (I see Lyon coming out on top in this game, they'll at least score 2 goals)

Lens - Paris Saint-Germain



For the PSG odds themselves, I think they are quite large even though PSG has performed consistently this season and the odds should be quite @1.45 / @1.50 but @1.73 in my opinion is very large and I suspect there might be a surprise in this match whether Lens beats PSG or will get a draw.

Odds @1.73 is a good amount to bet on PSG because there is a possibility that PSG can win over Lens in this match. According to my prediction, PSG will win with a narrow score like in their previous meetings. There is also a chance of a draw. If you have to bet but are hesitant between choosing PSG to win or draw, another option in my opinion is that both teams can score goals.

Lille vs Nice

It was a fierce competition between the two teams when in the first half they gave each other resistance and ended with a very good contribution from Lille defender, Bafodé Diakité to lock the winning score in the second half.
Actually Nice almost managed to hold the match to a draw but unfortunately Lille defense was stronger and was always able to thwart the opportunity.

In this match I saw something different from the Lille players, they never stopped looking for opportunities to catch up after Nice managed to close the first half with a score of 1-0. The second half was completely theirs, scoring 2 goals and the most epic comeback ever by Lille.
This victory took them to 3rd position and shifted Monaco's position, which was surprisingly defeated by Montpellier, who were in last place.

Today's games:

Lens - Paris Saint-Germain (I see PSG coming out on top in this game, they'll at least score 2 goals and both teams will score)

Two teams that attract attention with their high tempo football are facing each other. Lens has problems defensively and suffers losses because of that, but offensively, on the contrary, he has no problem finding goals. Lens is effective in wing organizations and can give his opponents difficulties with these organizations. PSG, on the other hand, continue to sweep their opponents and are in a comfortable position in the league. PSG will play a tough away game, so they may prefer a controlled game plan, but PSG have a clear advantage in the last 5 games between them. The favorite is PSG as always and I expect PSG to win by a single goal in this match.

I must say I'm in shock to see that PSG was given 1.73 odds against Lens, I thought it would have been about 1.3 odds or even less. This is indeed a good match to bet on because the possibility of PSG beating Len is so high. This odd may be as a result of the recent matches of Len where it lost 1, drew 1 and won 3, coupled with the fact that it will be played in their home.

Either way, PSG should win and I will surely bet this match, wish me luck!

#Edit: The odd has even risen to 1.91 on Stake.

Lens has a solid defense, we can see the number of goals they have conceded this season is quite low, that might be a consideration for bookies to give quite high odds for PSG to win directly. Lens only weakness is their goal productivity, their attack is not as good as their defense, so I think if PSG play well without making mistakes, 3 points can be pocketed, but Lens must still be watched out for considering the odds @ 3.90 given to them means that any result can happen.

The first half has ended and Lens are leading 1 - 0. PSG didn't create much chances to equalise in the first half and Lens are doing their best to defend their lead. I am seeing a possible equalisation from the few chances PSG tried to create in the first half. This game might not end in 1-0.

So far PSG hasn't seen a corner whereas Lens has played 4 corners and have 1 shot on target. I will wait for second half to see if there will be any improvement in PSG attack or their attempt to equalise the game but to me PSG might lose this game to Lens if they fail to create chances in the second half.

In addition to the Montpellier vs Monaco match, I think the Lille vs Nice match is also one of the tight matches happening this week, throughout the match I saw if the two teams continued to be able to pressure each other, the match went with high intensity until match end and showed the equality of strength and quality of the two in Ligue 1 at the moment.

The victory 2-1 over Nice, managed to bring Lille to the 3rd place to shift the position of Monaco who lost in the previous match, while Nice who lost the match actually had to be willing to drop to the 5th place in the current ligue 1 standings.

The match was indeed a match for equal teams. The statistics of both matches were also almost the same, although the advantage was finally won by Lille. A good result for Lille who shifted Monaco.

In another match, PSG who are currently at the top of the standings had to be left behind by 1 goal from Lens. There were not many opportunities from both teams, PSG might have made possession of the ball, but they looked quite careful in building attacks. PSG might have to be more aggressive when they see a gap to be able to equalize the score quickly.

The favorite is PSG as always and I expect PSG to win by a single goal in this match.

IMO, Lens does not have a bad defense and Lens does not have a good attack because even though Lens is in the top ten but the number of Lens' goal productivity so far in Ligue 1 is not good enough. But even so, atleast Lens still has a decent defense and thus, Lens still has the balance to be able to maintain its position well. But indeed,for the final result is 1-2 and you are all right, if you bet on the correct score, then of course you get a good win in this match too. I personally only choose PSG to win, and that's enough  for me, because in reality, PSG lost at half time with a score of 1-0, but  in the second half PSG managed to turn things around to 1-2.

It was strange, the game in turn was an easy walk for PSG as it seemed to me. They definitely didn't tense up, only occasional pinpoint attacks, otherwise they felt relaxed and not tense. You can generally see that in the stats themselves. Despite the fact that Lance had a lot of shots on goal and even managed to score a goal it didn't stop PSG from turning the game around and winning it

[LUCKMCFLY]

Player injuries are always the cause of a setback for a team when competing, but it needs to be prepared carefully so that it does not have much effect on the competition. Squad depth is something that is quite important so that when this happens the coach has the option to rotate the players needed. The beginning of the season was better because Monaco appeared very promising, but as the competition progressed they began to have problems achieving victory.

If they could lose against Montpellier then everyone would definitely doubt Monaco and the defeat was beyond our predictions because Montpellier is not a tough opponent. Lecomte was impressive in goal as he made a number of saves as Monaco lost the match.

One of the things I have expected from Ligue 1 is that a team, at least one like Monaco, among so many that there are, can make life impossible for a PSG, PSG is the team that plays the most in Ligue 1, classified as the team that has Ligue 1 dominated in its entirety, until a team is the one that faces it and becomes a rival to such an extent that it becomes a classic, Ligue 1 will always be dominated by PSG, how many times have I not seen teams that start very well and then I see them in a place that doesn't fit, it's because they need that which PSG has so much.

Actually Nice almost managed to hold the match to a draw but unfortunately Lille defense was stronger and was always able to thwart the opportunity.

Before the game, Nice were one point better than Lille in the French league standings which was why I predicted that it was going to be a very difficult game for both sides but would expect the home team to get the better of the away team and just like I predicted and staked on the game, it came out the way I exactly predicted.
Boy teams are fighting for a place in the top three so they can be guaranteed a spot in the UEFA Champions League competition next season so you don't expect the home team to lose such an important game. Nice really to protect their lead till the final whistle

Rennes - Brest (I see this game ending in a draw with both teams scoring)

Lyon - Toulouse (I see Lyon coming out on top in this game, they'll at least score 2 goals)

If you played this as an accumulation or parley, you lost woefully because only PSG delivered while the other two played away win and goalless draw respectively. I don't think that there is any gambler that would have gotten the outcome of those matches correctly because Brest was supposed to be a draw match judging from their form and recent performances. Brest would have been better but they are playing away which gives Rennes some advantages to hold them. Also Lyon supposed to win that match but seeing that they did not even score a single goal is so disappointing.

One of the things I have expected from Ligue 1 is that a team, at least one like Monaco, among so many that there are, can make life impossible for a PSG, PSG is the team that plays the most in Ligue 1, classified as the team that has Ligue 1 dominated in its entirety, until a team is the one that faces it and becomes a rival to such an extent that it becomes a classic, Ligue 1 will always be dominated by PSG, how many times have I not seen teams that start very well and then I see them in a place that doesn't fit, it's because they need that which PSG has so much.

That is the hope of most people so that Ligue 1 can be much more competitive because with the competition it will increase people's interest in following the league. PSG is very difficult to beat in Ligue 1 and even teams like Monaco or Marseille also have difficulty beating them, let alone talking about other weaker teams who rely on a number of players to compete.

Ligue 1 will be much more interesting if there are four to five strong teams that can compete with PSG so that the competition for the title will be much more interesting. If that doesn't happen then it will be difficult for PSG themselves without doing better in the Champions League because they are not used to facing the pressure in their own League.

And from this victory LOSC managed to shift to occupy 3rd place because today Monaco suffered defeat against the bottom team Montpellier, it was humiliating defeat for Monaco but very profitable for LOSC and today I quite salute Nice who were able to fight hard to avoid defeat even though in the end LOSC remained superior thanks to their solid defense.
Congratulations on winning the bet, today Lens will play against PSG, I predict for PSG victory even they will definitely be able to score more than 2 goal, what do you think.

Before this match started, we had difficulty in predicting who would win this match. At that time we also talked about the hosts having more advantages, and that's what happened in this match.
It can be said that this match was quite balanced, only the hosts were able to make better use of the opportunities they got to become a goal and that allowed them to secure 3 points.
Nice was indeed able to take the lead first, but Lille did not give up easily and managed to turn things around to lock in the win.

Just little less satisfying that LOSC only won narrowly and they even had the chance to be held to draw by Nice, although in the end LOSC was the win, many people made them the favorite because they saw LOSC impressive strength during the first half of this season, they also became one of the dark horses in Ligue 1.
There is chance for LOSC to finish this season as runner-up, they only need to surpass Marseille and we know is quite strong but Marseille weakness is that they cannot perform consistently, this provides good opportunity for LOSC to seize second place in the future.

This victory took them to 3rd position and shifted Monaco's position, which was surprisingly defeated by Montpellier, who were in last place.

If you look back at yesterday's rematch, you will definitely see a change in strategy from Lille and one of the strategies was to put continuous pressure on Nice which made Nice's defense lose confidence and Lille managed to score. So in that match Lille was superior in the second half because that was the change that had to be made to be able to lock in the winning score.

And today we will watch the match between the teams that are in the runner-up position,

Marseille vs Strasbourg (BTTS)

Although Strasbourg is below Marseille, in the history of the two teams' meetings Strasbourg has always been superior and if Marseille wants to win, they must strengthen their defense.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Saint Etienne and Nantes, both in the relegation zone in the French Ligue 1, will meet today. Saint Etienne recently brought Eirik Horneland in charge of the team. In the first half of the league they had one of the worst defenses in the league. They conceded 37 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, Nantes, like Saint Etienne, are in the relegation zone. They have only 3 wins in the first half of the league. I think both teams are equal in strength. I'm going to bet on both teams to score again. This option can work in matches like this one.
