French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[POPOLUV]

Paris Saint-germain are at the top but Lens are still first, but this top position is not currently reflected in the French Liga1.
It's these two who are fighting for the title in the end, i don't know if Lens will continue to resist until the end.
Do you think it has a good chance?

Lens top position is not one I consider a problem even to PSG, even as PSG is jot exactly at the top they will possibly get to the top and win the trophy, I would wish Lens will win and have a different record for the league again after a long stretch of PSG serially winning  the title, so we get to see the variety in the league.

I think Paris Saint-Germain shouldn't be worried about this. Lens has played very well so far and is leading the league. Paris Saint-Germain is currently second, but they also have tough Champions League matches to consider. That's why they played with a reserve squad in some matches. I'm sure they will play a little better in the French league now. Therefore, I'm confident they will soon take the lead from Lens, to whom they entrusted it.

Of course Paris Saint-Germain has not nothing to worry about because there are many matches that Paris Saint-Germain has to play to take League and secondly the points Lens is using in topping the League is one point different from Paris Saint-Germain Will not the point to be that big difference so that when they see that there is no hope in carrying champions League they will still bounce back to the league to maintain their position by carrying the trophy, but today match  Lens vs Toulouse is going to be a tough one because Toulouse is a tough side club that Lens need to work very hard to win the match today, if not they will draw or lose to Toulouse team.

I'm not particularly worried about Lens' current top spot because there are still many games left, and the points gap with PSG isn't that big, so a defeat or draw for Lens in the next match could see PSG return to the top of the standings. Unless PSG drops points in the next few games Lens' chances of winning the title will increase, but given the current situation that seems unlikely. People might want to see a new title contender in Ligue 1, but if the strength of the clubs there isn't much better, it will be difficult to break PSG's dominance.

Could be due to Paris saint German involvement in the UEFA champions League the cause of their bad performance in the Ligue 1? because I don't seems to get it.
PSG used to be in a better form and use to be ahead in the table. One point difference isn't big as PSG could still bounce back to take the spot from Lens. That goes to winning the UEFA champions League, it's possible PSG could win both trophies based on consistency thought it wouldn't be easy due to how competitive the UEFA champions League is and based on the numbers of strong teams on it.

How could UEFA Champions League be there league 1 cause of second position, are there no when they won the league 1 and the same moment win the champions League? or haven't Paris saint German ever be on a state of performing well at the same time on the two leagues?, even if they win or loss the league 1, the competition on the champions League is not the problem. Paris saint German for now has not been disappointed on the season yet because few points could bounce them back  but the benefit of this league is nothing to what they would have in champions League but they don't neglect this league 1.

Yes, the pressure is on Lens. Although they surprisingly managed to dislodge PSG from first place, I think the media is overstating it, making it seem as if Lens came out and destroyed PSG's dominance. It's only a one-point lead. This means every match is full of pressure for Lens. They must maintain their top form to win. And I don't think they can do that. I don't want to underestimate Lens, but there are still many games left in Ligue 1, and my question is, can Lens maintain consistency with their current squad? Because if they do, they will repeat the football miracle of 2016 when Leicester shocked the world by winning the EPL.

I also fully agree with you, the fact of having PSG on a diet is already a problem for them, it's clear that these guys can do very well and they know they can do it in the shortest possible time, if they hadn't had a team like PSG against them they would surely have been able to think about winning the championship

Lens occupying the first position in the French League I personally think is some sort of placeholder agreement between the two club  Just kidding though but on a serious note, I don't expect Lens to fight till the end of the season and I don't even expect any other team in the French League to win the league title ahead of reigning champions Paris Saint Germaine.
After the Christmas/New Year break, Paris Saint Germaine are coming out smoking fire and I expect them to regain the top spot position from Lens.

Now they just have to be very careful about what will happen in Europe. In my opinion, what is happening in the championship is of little relevance, but they certainly must not seem like they don't care. Clearly, they have to be careful about everything, but the most difficult part is definitely the Champions League.

Lens players must be enjoying their placement in the standings for now. Their look has made me remember their achievement in the 22/23 season. You know they finished at the 2nd position by only 1 point away from PSG. 

They are once again likely to finish at the same position I'm afraid. Because PSG would pull themselves up at some point and show their real power. It is just too difficult to become champions against them in this league as long as you aren't as rich as them.

Today Toulouse will host Lens, an important match as it's the league leader's match. Toulouse plays well at home and rarely loses, so it's entirely possible that Lens could end their winning streak today. PSG will host Paris FC at the Parc des Princes, and there's no doubt they'll win because they can't allow Lens to extend their lead. Right now, almost no one doubts that Lens won't be able to compete with PSG for the rest of the season, but there's no point in rushing things just yet. We're waiting for today's match to see if Lens can beat Toulouse.
