French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Republikcoin.com]

Lens has shown everyone that they are absolutely a magnificent team but unfortunately the gap against PSG is still huge and i think this makes everything difficult, PSG is a stellar team that can do whatever it wants, and decide the fate of any other team, they know this and i hope that one day they can do well.

Other teams in Ligue 1 will need to have more money to match PSG's strengths. It's clear to everyone that even in difficult conditions, PSG can still win and stay at the top of Ligue 1 without having to beat a team like Lens. Furthermore, teams like Lens haven't been able to consistently win games until the end of the season, so this could be an advantage for PSG, who have dominated the league and have been able to beat any team until the end of the season, despite the occasional draw and loss.

It is actually interesting how far PSG has gone in the champions league and now we can begin to see them as that top side that we supposed them to be, at this point, even if eventually they do not get to the finals or they do not win the Champions League title, we can say they have not done bad for them selves really, and now as it concerns the championship, let is see if there will be some really good differences in their productivity than it was before.

Yes, i think this team has been limited up until now, but from now on i are convinced that this team will definitely change and will be more and more consistent. It's clear that these players have always been very strong and i don't think it was a problem for them. They were limiting themselves to do well in the last part of the championship.

I really applaud Lens and Marseille that stand to challenge PSG but unfortunately it wasn't a good way for Marseille, because pSG has shown them their own way, with the result of their match against each other, I was totally surprised to see that results because I even consider Marseille than Lens when it comes to threat for PSG but at this level I was wrong.

Lens are now behind with two points different but despite that I don't have confidence for them because PSG are very strong andeka Crush anything that comes their way, despite they are not in a good condition based on last season's performance.

PSG hasn't face this level of challenge in a long time,I think it is interesting and Psg would really need to adjust because a single mishap could sink them behind lens in the table. I wouldn't have trusted lens to be a strong rival to psg this season. I didn't see that coming,my expectation was marseille but all the same,lens strong quest to end Psg dominance has made the ligue 1 truly competitive. Lens should continue to feasts on points to maintain the gap with them and Psg .

[verdinio]

I don't think they only have top players or at least i don't think that's enough, clearly to win League One its clearly a big advantage to have very strong players and PSG knows this well, having such strong players in the squad is certainly an advantage and that's what they do.

The advantage of having incredible and very strong players is great and this can be something that changes everything, the matches are strange even if there are excellent players then they can make mistakes that are not quite up to the expectations that everyone has, so it is not always true that only that matters.

It's clear to everyone that even in difficult conditions, PSG can still win and stay at the top of Ligue 1 without having to beat a team like Lens. Furthermore, teams like Lens haven't been able to consistently win games until the end of the season, so this could be an advantage for PSG, who have dominated the league and have been able to beat any team until the end of the season, despite the occasional draw and loss.

Despite only having a two-point lead, it seems very difficult for a team like Lens to overtake PSG in the standings. So far, PSG have only lost two times, while Lens have lost four. This shows that there are fewer teams capable of defeating PSG. And it's not difficult to choose PSG as the favorite to win this match. Honestly, even though Lens has been solid and has surprisingly won 16 times, I think every match they play looks like a tough one. Lens must play seriously and maintain consistency to maintain their chances of overtaking PSG. However, PSG could even use their bench players for some matches. And PSG can lower the intensity and tempo of the match to maintain player fitness. I think Lens' only advantage is that PSG has a UCL schedule, and this could affect their performance if they don't have much time to rest between matches.

Actually, in France, with Paris Saint-Germain in the running, I think believing Marseille will win the championship is an overly optimistic prediction. Because with Paris Saint-Germain around, the team that will win the league in France is Paris Saint-Germain. The other teams will only try to prevent them from winning. Lens has been the surprise team this year and they are still in the championship race. Marseille had knocked them off the top spot, and this week they conceded 5 goals to Paris Saint-Germain. As a result, Lens lost the lead. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, regained the lead and hasn't relinquished it yet.

Yeah, I know PSG are the main dominant team in the league, and seeing another team win the championship while they are still in the league would be a big miracle. But anything can happen. However, I don’t think I should even expect a team like Marseille to overcome PSG. We all saw how they conceded five goals. The painful part is that they were not able to even score one goal on the pitch. So, that made me believe PSG are not that easy to defeat in Ligue 1.

To be fair, when third best team in the league loses to best team 5-0 then you know that the gap is huge.

PSG doesn't beat everyone 5-0 but if they really played with their 100% in all games they would literally have 100+ goals a season every season. They just don't see the need because why tire yourself out to score that many goals when you are going to win the league anyway. This season it is a bit different because of Lens, but normally they do not even care about the league that much.

PSG has not been able to hold the top  spot of the table for a long  time. Even then I am sure that psg  will be the champions of ligue 1. Lens' performance is quite good. But if they want to win the title, they have to play well consistently. They have to continue their winning streak . It is very difficult for lens. And after losing against marseille , they lost the top spot of the table. PSG is now  2 points ahead. It will be  difficult for Lens to regain the top spot of the table. PSG is back on track and is consistently able to perform well in every match.

True, Lens easily loss three points when playing the crucial games how last defeating by Marseille and loss three points have drop to 2nd position behind 2 points remaining with PSG. If Lens can perform quite well at the crucial games such as facing Marseille or PSG I think has chance to stop Ligue 1 dominance by PSG almost four season in a row.

Last games, PSG success defeating the top team Marseille but Lens still has chance for facing PSG at second half season match if want to back first standings and has chance back to the Ligue 1 tittle race, tomorrow PSG will face Rennes and hope that team can stop PSG get three points has focus for playing the playoff round match of Champion League by facing AS Monaco three days later.

PSG is back on track and is consistently able to perform well in every match.

There is one thing about PSG and that is whenever a team is ahead of them at the top of the table, that team must continue at the top and shouldn't allow PSG to take over the top because when they do, it is always difficult for any other team to top the table till the end of the season. PSG doesn't struggle much to win matches, unlike the rest of the teams so when PSG is topping the league they have good motivation because any team they meet will already begin to feel defeated which often is an advantage for PSG, but when another team is at the top of the table it is always difficult for them to stay for long because they will meet several opponents who will want to neutralize them and i have seen such thing happen to Lens over and over before Marseille finally brought them down and PSG immediately reclaimed the top. It will be difficult for Lens to top the table again because any more lose from them will give PSG 5 points gap and from there Lens will become demoralized which will even lead them to more losses and that will be the end.

PSG is a very high-performing team, even in difficulty they can handle the weight, even in some cases with all the difficulties involved they even manage to take home the result.
Now that she's been able to get her performances back on track for quite some time now and therefore hold her own against everyone she encounters, even in the Champions League they're afraid.
The other Ligue 1 teams can't compete today, maybe next season (if they make serious investments) they can come close in performance.
The Lens also had a good season despite everything, only the Championship narrowed around the two of them.

The reason PSG is able to dominate Ligue 1 is because there are no worthy opponents who can compete with them in the title race. PSG performance this season has been slightly below par, but they are still leading the table, despite Lens making them work hard to regain first place. Now PSG has a 2-point lead over Lens, the number may increase as the two will face each other in the second meeting in Ligue 1. In addition, Lens does not yet have a winning mentality, so they could lose points in crucial matches, the situation Lens is experiencing is almost the same as Arsenal fate in the last few seasons, they are able to top the standings, but in the end another team will win the trophy.

With a lot of money spend in many years for player transfer and have a world class coach like Enrique, but even with previous great head coaches, PSG have managed to dominate Ligue 1 in many seasons. French clubs with less financial and transfer budgets than PSG's budget struggled and failed to win against PSG in most seasons. In this season, it seems nothing different as PSG are dominating the league again while in Champions League they will have to join two play off matches with Monaco. These matches are not wanted by PSG but I believe they will go through and beat Monaco well. It's hard for other clubs in Ligue 1 to have enough bad matches from PSG for racing with this super strong title contender.

PSG is a very high-performing team, even in difficulty they can handle the weight, even in some cases with all the difficulties involved they even manage to take home the result.
Now that she's been able to get her performances back on track for quite some time now and therefore hold her own against everyone she encounters, even in the Champions League they're afraid.

They are rich, strong and very experienced in Ligue 1 and with many advantages like that, PSG in most seasons don't have too big challenge and troubles from other clubs, so that they usually win Ligue 1 title very easily. In this season, I see no clubs in Ligue 1 can take a crown from PSG and the season is already going to very last months. Time and chance for other clubs in Ligue 1 become less with every week, and they are very less likely to make any big surprise against PSG.

Do you remember the 22/23 season? Those times Lens were similar to now. They looked more competitive against PSG than all the remaining teams.

But still they couldn't prevent their inevitable end... The final 1 point gap at the end of that season shouldn't deceive one. PSG guaranteed the title a couple of weeks earlier then.

Anyway now this is also a season which is a candidate to be just like that one.

[Merit.s]

PSG can afford to do whatever they want at the moment, they can also go and relax a bit and concentrate more on the championship, now that they have qualified for the Champions League (it was obvious that they would do it) i am convinced that they will distance themselves even more from the lens, i am more than convinced of it.

It is actually interesting how far PSG has gone in the champions league and now we can begin to see them as that top side that we supposed them to be, at this point, even if eventually they do not get to the finals or they do not win the Champions League title, we can say they have not done bad for them selves really, and now as it concerns the championship, let is see if there will be some really good differences in their productivity than it was before.

You should know that's difficult to win the Champions League back to back. I never expected PSG to defend the title again because they wouldn't be as strong as last season. Look at Ligue 1, they had injury problems which was the reason why Lens was topping the table initially but as the players are coming back from injury, the team is improving in performance.

I expect them to win Ligue 1 as usual because that's their birth right. PSG finally won the Champions League which is a big history for them.

Indeed Lens have proven to be very resilient this season and they continue to show some character in terms of keeping the pressure on the league leaders despite the huge gap separating both teams.
It might not be possible for Lens to get back to the top after being overtaken by PSG but am very much satisfied with the way Lens continue to put the pressure on PSG with the hope that PSG might flop along the way giving them an opportunity to either close the gap futher which is quite possible if you ask me.

Lens has been very consistent in their chase for the league and they are not giving up too. PSG has lost some opportunities which might cost them big time if time is not taken. Lens is only 2 points behind the league leaders and a single loss can bring them down to from the top. PSG will be playing Rennes who was recently won by Lens in their last game and I don't think it's going to be very easy for PSG too. If PSG fails to beat Rennes then there's every likelihood that lens will overtake them this weekend since Lens is only playing Paris FC.

It's going to take a lot of pressure for PSG to win the league this season because Lens are not giving up at this point. Any single loss can cost PSG the league this time.

[jakdanyel]

Rennes - PSG is about to start in 10 minutes. 1.39 given for PSG tonight and it looks nice to add to a betslip with multiple picks. Rennes shouldn't be a team to get a point from them now. Their recent form is terrible.

You must have seen the dominance level by PSG against Marseille in their last match. It could have ended even like 10-0 or so. I'm not saying the score will be similar but I don't expect PSG to have a big struggle either.

I'm really excited with the pressure Lens is currently mounting on PSG this season because it has made PSG to be serious in winning their Ligue 1 matches. PSG is now aware that if they keep dropping points as they were doing at the beginning of the season, Lens might accumulate the points they will makes it difficult for them to win the Ligue 1 title this season. I see PSG as a team that's playing without their full potential, so if Lens can winning their matches without dropping another points before PSG, I think Lens would have a chance to overtake PSG in the Ligue 1 table.

What you say is true. Of course, other teams can't compete with PSG due to financial constraints, preventing them from bringing in quality players across all lines. PSG dominance in Ligue 1 stems from massive investments from Middle Eastern investors, so competing with PSG is indeed difficult. Even if it were possible it would require hard work and the expectation that PSG would frequently drop points.

So far, Lens has given its best making Ligue 1 a little more interesting and competitive than in previous seasons. But honestly, I don't want to underestimate Lens, as you said because they can't be consistent until the end of the season. In football, nothing is impossible especially since Lens has high confidence this season and their morale is also high. This week, I don't think Lens will drop points because they will face a weak opponent Paris. PSG is currently facing Rannes, with the score still 0-0 after 23 minutes. If Ranner can hold PSG to a draw, it will be an advantage for Lens to be able to equal points with PSG.

Monaco is a team with a good history in the league 1 and I expect that they would've challenged PSG's dominace in the league but they've not really been impressive especially this season, you can see the position where they're, another team i had high expectation on is Nice but then they're currently below my expectations.

 Yes, Lens is doing their best especially this season, they've top the league and seemed like a threat to PSG this season, if they had been consistent it would've been difficult for PSG to win the league this season. However PSG have a match with Rennes currently and score line is 1-0 in favour of Rennes.
