French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Rennes defeated PSG 3-1. Rennes took a beautiful 1-0 lead in the first half. They made it 2-0 in the 69th minute, but PSG reduced the deficit to 2-1 just one minute later. Dembele scored against his former team but didn't celebrate. After the score became 2-1, Rennes goalkeeper Samba made several crucial saves, playing a major role in securing the victory. Embolo made it 3-1 in the 81st minute. PSG launched several effective attacks in the final minutes but couldn't convert them. Rennes, under their new manager, won the match 3-1, ending a four-game losing streak.

I think the reason why PSG is not having a good performance is the disconnection between the players, after the defeat against Rennes Dembele made a comment that they are not playing as a team, he also stated that players are playing for themselves, after PSG won many trophies last season i knew that those players will now start seeing themselves as big players that they can beat any team even when they played badly, this current PSG is very bad and it looks like they are not ready to compete.

Luiz Erique also made a statement after Dembele statement that he did not care about any player and a player is not bigger than a club, with the statement, that shows that he is also not happy with the club and he wants to finish his contract this season and leave the team, this is an opportunity for Real Madrid to go for Vitinha as he is one of the player that Real Madrid admired most and will like to sign him.

I don't think we'll have the chance to see another team win the championship this year instead of PSG, who are hungrier than ever. Lens has shown that they are a great team, but i don't think it's possible that they'll go ahead of Paris Saint-Germain again. i don't think so, even if everyone has hopes.

PSG lost their last game, Lens are winning 2-0 in the first half against Paris FC. There is always a future for PSG but they decided to slow down in this week game, while Lens are using the opportunity to get back at the top. It's impressive how they are going head to head against PSG and it's working out well for them. Before the season ends, PSG might be back on the lead, they usually are favorites.

I knew that Lens will easily win Paris after PSG lost to Stade Rennes yesterday. I like the energy and perseverance of Lens because they almost became weak when they lost to Marseille but they never relented, they kept winning their matches back to back and maintained 2 gaps behind PSG. Now that PSG has also lost 3 points, Lens quickly used the opportunity to get back to the top of the table again since they are winning Paris already by 2:0. Lens must try and keep up with the winning mentality so that if PSG drops another 3 points they will top the table by 4 points and from there they might be closer to winning the French Ligue1 title.

Lens is playing by storm today, destroying Paris FC with all they’ve got. I knew they weren’t going to go easy on their chance of topping the league with the opportunity PSG has given them with that loss to Rennes yesterday. They’ve got all their fire power going and have being scoring from every corner of the pitch and in each half. Just when I thought it was almost on the 90th minute and no more goal scoring, they got yet another goal on the 89th. Good one lens, good one.

I knew they were going to find a way to win against Paris Fc since there next fixtures which comprise of Monaco and Strasbourg is a bit complex but I didn't expect to trash Paris FC 5-0 who have always tried to hold up themselves against superior teams. With is win, Lens are currently the top with just 1 point ahead of PSG, another 1 point drama until PSG comes to top again.

Is this a sign that there will be a new winner at the end of the season? I always say PSG will eventually lift the title but looking at the current situation, I also can't ignore Lens' struggle, they have been one of the most consistent battlers with PSG in terms of the title this season, something that is indeed interesting, I have forgotten when the last time the competition was this tight because usually when it entered matchday 22, PSG was impossible to catch. I want this situation to last until the end of the season, I'm tired of hearing about Ligue 1 as a league of farmers.

Lens was the first in the ranking before letting Paris Saint-Germain take over their place then here they are claiming that spot. Lens is a very good team this season and they are the only contender for the title along with PSG of course. The other teams levels are way behind these two teams.
Lens victory was expected and they impressed people with 5 goals scored.
Lens will face Monaco next time, maybe they will pick points from them and allow PSG to ascend again.

As expected, Lens didn't waste the opportunity that PSG presented to them by losing points yesterday, they won their game today and are now the new leader of the league table.
After PSG dominated last seasons, it's refreshing to see another club giving them serious competition this year.

Despite the 5-0 result, Paris FC had their moments too, they dominated in ball possession and made more shots on goal, but, at the end of the day, the only stat that matters is goals.

In another game, Marseille split points with Strasbourg as they drew 2-2. They were close to winning, but Strasbourg equalised with a stoppage-time penalty.

After Paris Saint-Germain's massive defeat, we wouldn't have expected them to miss this opportunity, would we? Lens's 5-0 victory was epic, and they snatched the lead by beating another Parisian team. It's impossible not to congratulate them, because I honestly can't remember the last time the French league had such a close race. Lens are now at the top of the French league, and I hope they continue this fight until the end of the season and ultimately become champions.

I am not surprised at all from this results we have. Rennes lost to Lens in their previous game which was why I suspected that PSG would drop points even though I never expected such level of defeat I thought it was going to be a draw game while I expected Lens to win Paris FC. Lens is back to the top and it's going to be a hard nut for PSG to take over the lead again this time. Lens gave Paris FC a total destruction, a whooping 5-0 win away at Paris.

The journey is still far though and PSG still has a game against Lens too. Record is in favour of PSG as PSG has won their last 6 games so far. It could be that the game will be a title decider as it's also going to hold in April I. lens home. PSG has really gambled their opportunity and they may pay heavily for it.

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.

My fears with Lens in their courageous challenge for the title with PSG in the league is that Lens doesn't have a well equipped house as does PSG, for which has being the obvious reason why PSG could have disposed them from the leading top position on the table despite holding it for some weeks. The loss to Olympic Marseille was a huge mistake that Lens shouldn't have allowed to be but they lost it when they could have won the game to increase the gap. I am in doubt right now if they can regain the top spot again after PSG has made a return now.

Without an atom of doubt the clear favorites to snatch up the league title is still PSG, I don’t think one loss will change anything especially since we are talking about League 1 not the premier league where competition is on a high level, PSG clearly still have that depth of a squad and the possible experience to turn things around for the better. But lens deserve the credit for their playing style this season.

Similarly we believe PSG won't make mistakes in their next match, so Lens isn't the favorite. But what if the conditions are different and PSG suffers another poor result like their previous match? The defeat to Rennes has begun to show something different and perhaps the title race will become even more interesting because Lens themselves have been impressive, especially considering their convincing victory against Paris FC. Lens must maintain their consistency if they want to compete with PSG as I believe they have a chance to win the title this season.

Paris Saint German players underestimated this Rennes, and that's how the chaos all started off. For the past few matches, PSG has been too focused on dribbling, not passing the ball where needed, preferring to shoot blindly towards goal and do whatever they want. Out of fifteen shots, only two or three were on target, while out of five against the opponent, Paris Saint German conceded three goals. Why does the coach persist in playing that defender Zabarnyi?
At this point, it'll be necessary to review how players are paired and every tactical schemes to restore compactness and reduce the number of errors or they'll just keep losing. Lenz has taken over the top of the table, with an opening 5 goals!

[karabiber]

Lyon has caught a magnificent streak. Nice, despite struggling in three competitions due to its squad depth, is putting up a tremendous fight to stay physically and mentally strong. However, things are tough away from home. While Lyon wants to have more possession at home and push the game into the opponent's half, Nice will remain more controlled away from home and look for transition moments. The critical point for Lyon is the suspension of Endrick, their star player in recent days. Nevertheless, Lyon, in high spirits and good form, will secure their place in the Champions League by defeating Nice at home. It would not be surprising for Lyon, in good form, to take all three points.

Lens has once again regained the top spot in the table. And this they managed to do in just 4 weeks. There is no doubt that the team is in incredible form this season. If PSG's performance is so erratic, they won't be able to secure the title.

This match against Paris was very important for Lens. If they win, the top spot in the table will be occupied by Lens. Lens players did not make any mistakes in this match. They dominated the match from the start and managed to secure a huge 5-0 win till the end.

Lens is a worthy opponent of psg in the fight for the title of Ligue 1. The team is in very good form. Their attack is also strong. PSG are not in the safe zone. It will be very difficult for them to secure the title.

No one expected that, but what happened to PSG at Rennes really surprised many, as they lost 3-1 to the home team. Meanwhile, Lens has started winning away games convincingly by much larger margins, and now they're back at the top of the table, although the goal difference remains. And now the competition in Ligue 1 is starting to get fierce again for the remainder of the season, as PSG will continue to do their best to return to the top, even though the conditions are not easy.

Yesterday, Lens took good advantage of worst defense from Paris FC as they put them down and out in game which they won by score of 0–5 and take their top spot back from PSG, this season is going to be more thrilling due to impressive performance from Lens.

They have one of the best defense which supporting them to have good performance against all opponents, in last 5 years, 2 time league title won by teams with 1 point difference in 2020/21. Lille have 83 points and PSG ended with 82 points after this, in 2022/23 PSG won with 85 points and Lens ended with 84 points now 12 games left and Lens is leading by 1 points from PSG which is standing at 51 points.

We saw PSG's strange performance against Rennes. They should have played better. Especially because of the mistakes of the defenders, PSG lost this match. Although the forwards were able to attack a lot, they could not score more than one goal. On the other hand, Rennes could only make 4 on target shots and they could score three goals. The performance of the defenders and the goalkeeper was weak. As a result, PSG had to lose and also lost the top spot in the table. PSG is again 1 point behind Lens.

[KTChampions]

As expected, Lens didn't waste the opportunity that PSG presented to them by losing points yesterday, they won their game today and are now the new leader of the league table.
After PSG dominated last seasons, it's refreshing to see another club giving them serious competition this year.

The situation in Ligue 1 is becoming increasingly interesting, it is now very difficult to call Lens' leadership a coincidence - they have conceded fewer goals than PSG, although PSG have scored more goals (but defense is always more important than attack). It's funny, but bookmakers continue to rate PSG's title chances at 1.07. Honestly, I wouldn't be interested even in 1.20 at this point. Lens has one task - 12 games left in the tournament (the French Cup can be neglected) while PSG is concentrating on the Champions League.
