French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Stablexcoin]

After Marseille, they lost again to their rivals. I'm talking about Paris Saint-Germain. They lost 1-0 against Monaco. They currently sit in second place in the league, which is a huge surprise. Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning Champions League champions, was playing so well that they made everyone think they'd finish the French league unbeaten. But they've already suffered two defeats. Monaco managed to hold on despite playing the final 10 minutes.

It got nothing on Paris Saint-Germain to sit second place for this short while, i believe it won't last longer where they are, 1 point is certainly not a problem for PSG, Marseille can't keep going unbeaten, definitely they will lose and draw some games and PSG will be there to take those opportunities.

Only a few teams are capable of going unbeaten, very rare for a team to go unbeaten throughout the season, especially when a club is playing also in the Champions League, too much to handle, they will definitely drop a few points.

After winning PSG at home Monaco will be going against Brest away from home but the question remains, can Monaco continue with the kind of show they displayed against PSG by beating Brest today? Monaco was brilliant on Saturday last week when they host PSG and it went their way that they got the only goal in that encounter but it didn't stop them from defending their lead, before the game I was expecting PSG to easily get a win in that encounter even after Monaco scored I was still expecting a come back like they used to do but the champions dropped point which have reduced PSG's chances of topping the table, and today I'm expecting Monaco to get another 3pt.

That's why not all teams are good at defending. Sometimes we wonder why, after gaining a lead, some teams still play aggressively, even if they slightly lower their intensity. Well, the answer is, as you said, some teams lack good defensive tactics. Trying to play defensively will give the opponent plenty of opportunities to press and create chances. For teams without a solid defense, this can be a problem, as it increases the opponent's chances of scoring. As happened with Strasbourg. Furthermore, I think maintaining a one-goal lead for 80 minutes is no easy feat, as the opponent will play more aggressively to equalize.

Defending a one-goal lead is quite risky because any opponent will continue to press to equalize, even though there's no guarantee of victory. A good defensive strategy is when a team is already ahead by more than one goal, or even three goals at once, so that the opponent is a bit overwhelmed in trying to equalize. And if we look at the Strasbourg match, this was absolutely perfect. Strasbourg, who took the lead in the first half, was still forced to come back in the second half by a visiting team like Brest. It was really very painful for the Strasbourg supporters because before the second half started they must have thought that the team they supported would be able to win the match.

I think Monaco will struggle against Brest, where several Monaco players who are absent may affect their performance (Source). And Brest's position as the host will put pressure on Monaco. So I personally doubt Monaco's performance well in this upcoming match. The last h2h meeting between Brest vs Monaco also showed that Brest is a tough team for Monaco, where Brest managed to defeat Monaco at that time. I personally prefer to predict that this match will be dominated by Brest. And I'm sure Brest can keep up with Monaco's game or even win this match. So I personally prefer to choose the double chance bet by betting on Brest or Draw for this upcoming match.

Monaco became a trending topic of discussion because they were able to beat PSG, albeit with a 1-0 score. This has created new hope that other teams can certainly do the same as Monaco. So if all Ligue 1 clubs could be like Monaco, it would make the title race more difficult. PSG would lose its dominance and of course the league would become more competitive. Next, Monaco will face Brest. Monaco should be able to win. Brest is ranked below Monaco, so Monaco's statistics look better.

I can put a bet that Monaco is not going to put a good performance as they did against PSG tonight, Monaco performance was very poor this season, they have been defeated many times by many teams that make me surprised when they played against PSG and won the match, Monaco is playing at away and we all know that Brest is in good shape this season, the match is going to be tough for Monaco and it will be a lucky win for them if they win the match.

Monaco coach should start trusting in Paul Pogba, he has played 2 game and he looks like he needs more time to play so that he can get better, we all know Pogba is one of the best midfielders in the world and he can help Monaco since the team performance is not good enough to win them a trophy, starting Pogba in this match will help him and also help the team to win some big games and trophies.

Honestly, almost everyone expected the match against Monaco to be an easy win because Monaco are not in that serious form and PSG were in great form. But for me, from the moment the match started, I noticed that it was not going to be an easy match for PSG, as Monaco were the hosts of the game. When I checked their head-to-head record, it showed that Monaco always appear very strong, and they have been winning their home games recently.

So, when Monaco later won the game, I was not that surprised because I was expecting anything to happen in the match. But even then, when Monaco scored, I was expecting PSG to equalize and maybe end the game in a draw. PSG have dropped their first points, but I believe it will be just for the meantime. Very soon, they will get back to their first spot on the table probably win the league.

Little by little, game by game, this As Monaco team is gaining Momentum but they’re still inconsistent, I’m beginning to feel they have more to give and I also would like Paul Pogba to succeed. It’ll be a beautiful story if he’s the one that leads them to Victories and becomes a crucial important key player for this side, he’s got class I believe he can do it.

If they play as they did against PSG with Brest they’ll surely win, they have to keep  up with the pace and momentum from beating PSG. They have the players.

In some years PSG do this in the Ligue 1. This is one of those years... They are struggling more this season compared to a comfortable one the last time. This is the only opportunity for other teams to show themselves of course. 

Lens don't waste the chance with a winning streak of 4 games! Marseille are more unreliable with simple point losses against weaker teams. For example the Toulouse game. How could they get a draw in that one by 2-2? It was even home.

Monaco is gradually becoming a formidable team and their performance last week is a very commendable one that they need to sustain. They are not also bad at away this season which is why I believe they will comfortably win Brest this weekend. But the only challenge is that they may be preparing for their external match next week which might make them to reserve some players or not even play in their best mood. Despite that, I might still consider betting on them to win because there is a high possibility for them to win.

[Mayor of ogba]

Lens may not have that confidence to maintain the first position on the standings till the end of the season. They have been playing quite impressively but how long can they be able to hold up this great performance to see them though to winning the title is what is a question of contention now. PSG will want to keep up with their winning streak and seeing that Lens have taken over the first place, they?ll put more efforts to get them removed from that position soon. PSG don?t always have a tough challenger for the title always and I wish this will be the season they start to get to see teams that will compete with them very tough for the league title, at least it?ll make the least more interesting and competitive than before.

Honestly I don't know if they will really be able to get to the end of the championship in one piece and then manage to win the championship, this is something we will only be able to see in a few months, for now they are looking forward to winning the championship but it is not a given that it will actually be possible for them to do so.

Lens's performance has been impressive this season, and they have surprised everyone to top the French Ligue 1 table, but we shouldn't be deceived by that and believe Lens will beat PSG to win the title this season because they don't have the squad depth to remain consistent and maintain their current performance to win the title this season.

[Altryist]

 Marseille will play away against Lille today, and I think it will be a very difficult match for them, in which I do not expect them to be able to win. In general, Marseille looks a bit strange, they are capable of beating PSG and after that having a chance to get ahead of them, but then their game becomes very unclear, and they drop points against Toulouse. And I consider Lille an even more difficult opponent, so I think they will drop points again today, while PSG will play this round against Ren, and in a home match I think they will beat them without any problems.

[giorgione]

It might not suffer a performance decline, but there are other possibilities too, the other teams in play could increase their performance, right? Everything could change between the next 3 league games.
I don't want to say that PSG already have the victory in their hands, it seems premature to say something like that.

Yes, there are definitely some things to consider and this is a very important thing, clearly this thing is fundamental to ensure that PSG gets back into shape, obviously these teams are very high-sounding, however i think that Paris will be able to win easily

[m4r1o]

..they did against PSG with Brest they'll surely win, they have to keep  up with the pace and momentum from beating PSG. They have the players.

They certainly played a great match and this was evident, anyone watching that match, anyone who saw it, had this impression.
I think i only saw a summary and i totally agree with you, if they can maintain the nastiness they had, they will surely win

Actually they are beginning to seem like but I do not see Monaco as a formidable team already, they have a lot of work to still do , I can only commend that they have gone beyond average and that they are now in a much better position but they are still a seeming small side, let us give it some time and see what exactly they have got and will be able to come up with as a performance or result for productivity by the end of the season, then it will give them the flowers completely.

I didn't think so, but when I looked at Lille's points and performance, I was surprised that they can beat Marseille, but it won't be as easy a defeat as we think. Most of them will draw or Lille can win by 1 goal, which they will have to work hard on. Marseille and PSG's performance seems similar, but if we look at Lille now, they seem even stronger than Marseille. Yes, they should have scored a goal, if they had succeeded in that, they could have easily gotten 3 points and become stronger. Otherwise, they managed to draw. This is difficult for Marseille because if Marseille loses the match, then PSG will win and convert itself into points. So I hope Marseille should win this match so that their performance and strength can make a difference.

Monaco's performance is a bit erratic due to one and a half injuries to their players. And  it will be difficult for them to win against brest. But Monaco won 1-0 against a giant team like psg  in the last match. Monaco's players will be very  confident after winning against a big team like PSG. And Monaco will try their best to win against Brest as well.

Brest's performance  in home matches is not good this season. Brest has only managed to gain 9 points in 7 home matches. Brest has won only 2 out of 7 home matches . If Monaco's attack can play well, then they have a chance to win. Otherwise , the possibility of a draw seems high.

Pogba played confidently during his 10 minutes on the pitch against PSG, even though Monaco were down to ten men and under enormous pressure in the final minutes. Pogba did not look out of place or confused. He was an excellent player, seemingly capable of doing everything: making goal-scoring passes across the field, scoring from any distance, playing in almost any position. So even if he is only half the player he was when he shone in Manchester, he will still be a definite asset for Monaco.

Monaco is the favorite, but not 100% and the odds for a Monaco win are 2.1, which is quite high considering that Monaco is playing against the 11th team in the league.

Honestly I'm highly disappointed by Monaco's performance for even losing as it stands, wasn't expecting Brest to get a goal so quick in this encounter with a red card. Monaco have not been in control of this game and we shouldn't be surprised if this encounter end in that 1nil we're seeing in this second half or they could get an equalizer and end it in a draw. This weak form is the same reason I always find it hard to trust Monaco to win any game or any big side and they can't be seen battling for the title, it is clear that they can't make it to the top 4 this season and might miss out in any Europe competitions for next season.

[Taricoins]

at the 60 min mark when i saw the red card on Brest, i decide to tune into the Monaco's match and i can say am highly disappointed with the match i watched. The match has ended with Brest winning 1-0.

The match felt like it was U10 playing for Monaco, it was ridiculous, how do you go from winning against PSG and then losing to Brest with an over 20+ minutes handicap on Brest. Monaco couldn't even implement simple plays, there passes were erratic and uncontrolled, they were trying to play a skillful match when they are already a goal down. Well what can i say, Monaco has always been an unpredictable side and today shows how much they need to improve.

We also saw the substitution of Pogba, i hope he plays well because from one or touches, i can see that he can be a great addition to this Monaco's side.
