French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

PSG loss tonight paved the way for Lens to climb to the top of the Frencb Lig 1 table with 1 point Head of PSG. I like this development to make this league more competitive and not one in which we know the winner from the beginning of the season. Despite playing away, I'm confident that Lens overrun Paris to climb to the top of the league table. It is quite funny how PSG could beat Marseille 5-0 and lose to Rennes.

Should we still have hope for PSG because with the way they are playing now I think Lens will have an opportunity to climb up, I'm beginning to feel somehow or is it that there time has come to an end, because the same player that play last season are still around and they could not be able to make any improvement to fix how they perform last season. Lens fans will be very happy but let's see whether they will see it as an advantage by winning their match so that there will be ahead with a point different

It was really shocking to see PSG lose to Rennes 3–1. PSG even fielded their best squad, including Kvaratskhelia and Dembele. On the other hand, Rennes had been on a losing streak before this match, so it was surprising to see them perform at their absolute best against a stronger team.

At first, I thought PSG would still win even if Rennes put up a good fight, but the result was truly beyond our expectations. Luckily, I bet on the BTTS option and won my bet.

This defeat also gives Lens a chance to close the points gap.

I initially thought they would benched some of there starters for there Champions League playoffs coming next week midweek period but they started there best and was trashed, I honestly don't know what went wrong but that result is indeed surprising atleast your bet was actualized so you have something to be grateful for.

Lens may have an opportunity to go ahead as they will be be playing Paris FC, but it isn't easy because Paris FC has shown to be a menace and quite unpredictable.

How can Paris Saint-Germain win over Marseille with 5 goals then be defeated by Rennes by three goals!
apart from making the bettors losing their money, PSG risks to see its first place taken by Lens since they have an easy game.
PSG in fact dominated the game but the players were inefficient while Rennes had lesser appearances but they profited from most of the occasions to score. This match was their first victory after many defeats and draw while PSG defeat came after successive victories..

If you try to look at it and rationalize how these kind of performances do come about in football, you wouldn’t have much trust in the game of football.

I didn’t start the game and joined up after I saw PSG to be a goal down to Rennes, I thought they would bounce right back with Dembele right there in front and instead, Rennes raised the stakes to a second goal with a good header from a corner set piece, certainly what I wasn’t hoping to see but there it was, unraveling.

Dembele quickly got a goal and brought me under the impression that they could still get something from this game only for them to concede a 3rd goal and by then, the game was over for them.

Everything suggests we might have a change of the table leader this weekend.
I had a gut feeling PSG could lose points tonight, but expected a draw at best for Rennes.
Before that game, Rennes were on a streak of 5 games without a win (incl. French cup), so it was a perfect way of breaking that bad spell.

Now Lens are playing away against 15th Paris FC tomorrow. I expect Lens to win and overtake PSG, but it might not be as easy a game as it seems. Despite their low position in the table, Paris FC only lost one out of their last 5 league games and are on 3 draws in a row run.

I never saw this coming, PSG lost to a smaller side again this season, honestly I wish that Lens don't have too much lost games to continue to stay at the top. Lens have a bigger opportunity to go back as league leaders that's if they can get a win against their next opponent (Paris FC). With the pressure they came with still Rennes refused to break and this is a sign that the Ligue 1 could be having a different champion this season.
Lens might struggle in their game against Paris FC that's if they underestimate the, all I expect is for them to start pressing attack from the first half, never to give them breathing space but if the relax in this encounter, we could be seeing this game end in a draw and Lens shouldn't allow Paris FC to take the lead at any time if not it will be hard to come back.

Truly it’s shocking to see PSG perform like this, I mean how they be playing this bad it is it hard luck?….., They’re gradually turning weak. This is the same team that won the champions league last season.
This performance makes one ask lots of questions about the team, are they still fatigued or not recovered well for those coming back from injuries.
Now it’s an opportunity for Lens to take over the lead if they can win their next game…!
Interesting Season we’re having.

Just exactly how it happened, that's how... Look, football is more deeper than what y'all take it for sometimes. A team that's trying to secure a good spot for at least, the UCL will do anything in their home stadium to a defeat any team at all, let alone PSG that has an E
UEFA champions League playoff match against Monaco in a few days. You might feel like it's supposed to be different, especially since they're both from the same local league, but the UCL is a different competition, with a different structure of play.
As for Lenz taking over, that's not even possible in 2 losses as there's a big difference statically on the table.

Rennes achieved a historic victory. Nobody expected it, and PSG put in a mediocre performance. This is a huge problem for them before the Champions League. They also risk losing the lead. If Lens wins away in Paris, Paris Saint-Germain will drop from the top spot. I was shocked by this result. Rennes achieved an extraordinary victory.

Rennes beat PSG 3-1. There's nothing left of last season's PSG, and I can't quite understand why.
They might not be clear champions this season; Lens is two points behind them. Rennes is an interesting team after three consecutive losses, they beat PSG by three goals. PSG isn't bad this season, but they were excellent last season. Some say they don't prioritize the league over the Champions League, but I don't think that's true they're different from last season.

It's so surprising and very disappointing especially for someone who would bet on them to win, i really don't understand why they've declined so bad from how tough and very in form they use to be the previous season.
 It makes me wonder if Enrique is tired of coaching then wants to leave which is why he's not renewed his contract yet. Anyway that was a good comeback by Rennes from losing consecutively, this win would lift their confidence to continue doing better, as for PSG they have to figure out their errors so such doesn't repeat again.

PSG loses today has given Lens an opportunity to move to  the top of the table if they can win their match tomorrow against Paris. This should be an easy win for Lens as they are playing against a weaker team who sit at 15 on the league table. Paris FC had only manage to win just match In it's last five games. For a committed and focus team like Lens who is looking forward in claiming the league title from the long run champion (PSG), I think Paris FC should not be an hinderance to his success.

The way PSG lost last night is going to be a very challenging situation for them. Because they lost points, which forced them to leave the top spot of the points table, they may fail to maintain their position. They lost the match against Rennes by a huge margin, their performance was not very good, they could not succeed even with a strong attack. Currently, PSG must play strongly to maintain their position, but at the moment, the difference between Lens and PSG is only two points. In that case, Lens will play strongly in the next match and will try their best to compete against PSG and win the trophy. And if PSG wants to maintain their position, they must improve their game and play as strongly as before.

It was surprising that PSG lost, but on the other hand, I am very happy because this will be a big advantage for Lens to be able to take the top of the standings and I also don't know whether this will be a big advantage because this season's journey is still very long and Lens has not guaranteed anything, especially since there are still many matches left this season so anything is still possible.
