French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[m4r1o]

We should wait for the Lens vs psg  match. Whoever wins this match has the highest chance of becoming the champion. Lens is in good form. They are consistently able to perform well. Especially against weak teams, they do not lose points. A few days ago they lost  against marseille. Marseille is one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1. On the other hand, psg  lost against rennes in the last match. There is no reason to  consider rennes as strong.

Starting from the round of 16 of the champions league, PSG's performance in Ligue 1 will likely be erratic again. On the other hand, Lens' only focus is on Ligue 1. So maintaining consistency is somewhat easier for them.

This is the most important match of the season for both teams. Whoever wins this one has the chance to win the championship. Clearly, this is something for which Lens must give everything and absolutely must not give up, even if i understand that it is a question of playing against a giant like Paris Saint-Germain.

Maybe that match will not be the title decider. PSG might make another loss or draw before that. That's why they won't be able to advance in the title race even if they beat Lens. This is just a guess, but I think this guess will be true. The form PSG is going through now and how busy they are now, it is very difficult for them to win the Ligue 1 title, especially when they have a worthy competitor in Ligue 1. If Lens had not been consistent in this competition, then maybe PSG would have dominated this season with such a performance and won the title. But now it is not happening!

PSG has to take care of their timing and resting a lot. Because this is not going to be easy for them, they look like they will have many more games at UCL and that is going to tire these players, we are getting to second half of the season and fatigue starts to play a big role.

What people do not understand is that it is not about just the games you have right here and right now, it is about the fact that we are seeing them get a compounded impact on it, meaning that they have already played a lot of games, so one more game makes it even worse for them. I do hope that they try to rotate some of the players and rest them so they can do better, specially ones who were injured, so that it doesn't repeat and that's how they can win the league.

It is very difficult for psg  to secure any title this season. Last season , the team secured all the titles. They had the best season in their  history. But this season, the team is not able to continue  the consistency.

Winning the champions league title is always very difficult. And it is uncertain. But I guess they will be able to qualify for  the quarter-finals. But I am worried about PSG's performance in Ligue 1. They should have performed better in ligue 1. But they are not able to do well. They have lost the top spot of the  table again. And there is a big chance that they will lose the ligue 1 title this season. Lens is in pretty good form.

I still think PSG will win the league. Of course, there will be bad results in this race, but eventually Lens will start dropping points. PSG, being a team that's close to consistent winning, will eventually achieve winning streaks in France, in my opinion. They won the Champions League last year, and I think they'll find their rhythm soon this year as well.

[banana33]

Lens challenge is certainly not easy competing with PSG especially with such a small points gap. Lens still have many tough matches ahead, potentially dropping points. The next match against Monaco will be against Lens. This certainly won't be an easy match for Lens, but if they maintain a relaxed unstressed play meaning, don't expect too much of a trophy they can get through these crucial matches well.

Lens' performance so far is due to them playing as if they have no burden on their shoulders. They didn't set a trophy target at the start of the season, but as the league progressed, they were able to play consistently. PSG themselves are currently under immense pressure especially with their Champions League play-off match against Monaco which will undoubtedly drain their energy. Lens must capitalize on this to remain consistent until the end of the season.

Even though it's a match that will be played a long time from now, they have to keep control until that decisive match that can decide everything comes along. The match will certainly be a no-holds-barred affair and will see both teams at a very high level, but it all depends on how the two teams perform up until that point.

We have all talked about PSG's surprising loss and all... I would like to talk about Lyon as well. Do you see how great their season is now? They got another win without Endrick while he was suspended.

Now they are in the 3rd place! They are in a winning series like 7 matches in the league currently. This team were nearly about to relegate because of financial issues. Now they are performing even better than last season. 

The next game against Paris Saint-Germain will be very easy and i don't see many difficulties for them, winning against Metz will be a walk in the park, but in football anything can happen and if there's one thing I'll never get used to its the fact of constantly having unpredictability in the league and in matches, im always ready to see new things

The situation looks very good for Lyon at the moment because they have managed to secure third place in the standings and have performed very well in recent matches. If they can maintain their current performance, they will be able to hold on to it until the end of the season and at the same time secure a place in the Champions League next season. They just need to maintain their excellent form and maintain their lead over Marseille. If they can do that, that would be a great achievement for them this season.

Hoping to see Lens beating PSG to end their dominance in the league because it's no longer interesting when a particular team gets to win the league all the time it makes the league become too boring to watch since the winner is known before the end of the league. I will be expecting Lens to fight hard to ensure they win against PSG not just winning against them but defending their points untill try lifet the championship.

I'd love to see that happen too for Lens to beat PSG but in as much as we are seeing Lens dominate in every game they play it still doesn't mean that they will show that same strength when it comes to PSG, it will be like the Lens we're hoping to do wonders will start playing like is the first time they're facing PSG and it will piss me off. When we expect a team to make the game not to be a one sided affair the other team will start allowing the big side to take absolute control of the game. PSG have been on top of the Ligue 1 for long and no team wants to change that instead they struggle to finish in the top 4 which makes the league to be all about PSG but if there's something new that will happen this season for Lens or any other to win the league title it will be better because everyone wants power to change hands at least for ones.

I don't give much importance to winning the title, but rather to a tough competition. The league seems competitive this season, I hope this fight will continue in the upcoming season and some more teams will join this fight.

Although Lens doesn't seem very strong this season, their main weapon is consistency. I don't think Lens will win the match against PSG, but they have the ability to win the title against PSG with consistency against other teams. If PSG loses some more points before the Lens match, then the fight will be tough for PSG.

PSG has done enough in the league one and has made league one a one team title. Gradually, one team dominance in the local leagues will die naturally. If we check the leagues this season,e everyone closely struggling and panting to win a title they have always won seamlessly. The game between PSG and Lens has a lot of influence on the final league standings. Going by the current forms of the two teams, the game looks risky to forecast but it doesn't look like a draw game. PSG needs the game like it all depends on that game. This is why I would predict a win for PSG like a 2-3 game but PSG must be careful not to be decieved by the  home fans influence as they would want to pull up a massive number against PSG who would play with their last breath.

[dezoel]

A one-point gap isn't difficult to overcome as long as PSG can still win against Lens, as that's their only chance of success in the competition this season. As for the rest, it's part of PSG's hope to keep winning without making any mistakes, as Lens will also be trying their best to avoid making any more mistakes for the rest of the season. However, I don't think it will be easy for Lens or PSG, as both have struggled quite hard this season in Ligue 1.

The gap isn't too big, we're talking about a single point. And PSG can still surprise and win against Lens to claim the French championship.
I'm sure that Lens will also do their best to avoid making mistakes in the remaining part of the season.

I agree with this, PSG is dealing with UCL at the same time and funny enough they are still facing French teams there. Monaco and PSG played last night and PSG managed to get the win even though it looked not so easy for a while, but they did manage to get the win.

This means, while that was also a French team, it's still true that PSG is doing fine and I think because of UCL games, they are a bit more tired than Lens, and that is causing Lens to have some luck. But I think PSG will eventually take the position back again.

The situation looks very good for Lyon at the moment because they have managed to secure third place in the standings and have performed very well in recent matches. If they can maintain their current performance, they will be able to hold on to it until the end of the season and at the same time secure a place in the Champions League next season. They just need to maintain their excellent form and maintain their lead over Marseille. If they can do that, that would be a great achievement for them this season.

Lyon has good position by securing the top third standings and has opportunity for qualifying to Champion League next season, remaining 5 points from Marseille should be comfortable position for Lyon has impressive performance keep the winning trend last 9 matches in a row at Ligue 1. Lyon must consistent playing well and get three points every games regarding have to face the top teams at 12 matches left from facing Marseille, AS Monaco, PSG and exactly will face Lens.
Seeing the current points, Marseille is the close team for stopping Lyon finish at 3rd position place if can defeating them three weeks later I think Lyon actually secure the top third position, if want back to the Ligue 1 tittle race I think bit difficult by stopping Lens and PSG has gap more than 7 points.

Last season PSG was in the best form in their history. They won every platform. But this season PSG's performance is irregular. They are not able to do well in the Champions League. They also lost the top spot in the Ligue 1 table. They have also been eliminated from the title race of the French Cup.

PSG won against Monaco in the Champions League with a good performance. But they could not win by a large margin. The match ended 3-2. Now we are waiting to see if PSG can do well in Ligue 1. Since Lens is in good form, it is quite difficult for PSG to fully regain the top spot in the table.

I don't think Lens will win the match against PSG, but they have the ability to win the title against PSG with consistency against other teams. If PSG loses some more points before the Lens match, then the fight will be tough for PSG.

Lens have proven themselves so far and they have been able to perform consistently to be in first place even though they were previously shifted by PSG. If this team can maintain consistency then I'm sure PSG will have quite a hard time catching up on points even though the difference isn't that big. The match against Lens will be quite crucial because after all both teams will try to do their best so as not to lose points and I am sure that PSG itself will not easily beat Lens who are currently appearing very solid with much higher motivation.

This week's games regarding the title competition:

- Lens - Monaco

- PSG - Metz

Combining the wins of Lens and PSG gives us a total of 1.93 odds. After the surprising Rennes loss I don't think PSG will make a mistake this time. Metz are literally the worst team in the league now.  

On the other hand I'm wondering if this will be a game in which Lens lose points. But when the way Lens destroyed Monaco earlier comes to my mind, I just don't want to give Monaco much of a chance...

[cande86]

Lyon has good position by securing the top third standings and has opportunity for qualifying to Champion League next season, remaining 5 points from Marseille should be comfortable position for Lyon has impressive performance keep the winning trend last 9 matches in a row at Ligue 1. Lyon must consistent playing well and get three points every games regarding have to face the top teams at 12 matches left from facing Marseille, AS Monaco, PSG and exactly will face Lens.
Seeing the current points, Marseille is the close team for stopping Lyon finish at 3rd position place if can defeating them three weeks later I think Lyon actually secure the top third position, if want back to the Ligue 1 tittle race I think bit difficult by stopping Lens and PSG has gap more than 7 points.

The score certainly doesn't worry Lens or PSG, who are pretty stable in first place, but this doesn't change the fact that they have to always perform well and they must certainly be very calm and play the games well, because the teams are always there who can steal your position and the standings.

[beerlover]

It's such a shame what happened to Monaco and Marseille. Marseille is at least at fourth place, but if they didn't had such a terrible three weeks in a row, they could have been third, and there is still a slight possibility that they could be third if Lyon starts to lose games and considering Lyon has been on a great streak, eventually losing points is a possibility for them.

However Monaco is even in worse situation, they are 8th right now and doing worse. These are teams I expected to be second and third place based on how much money they spent and how they looked before the season started, so them being fourth and eight instead is a very tough situation for them, doesn't look that great for them at all.

They also lost the top spot in the Ligue 1 table. They have also been eliminated from the title race of the French Cup.

After such a series of important victories i believe there is a technical and physical decline, all the anger, the desire to win, the tension, the strength put in to keep going, after a while makes even the best physiques give in, this team is gradually regaining its level but they have to do it gradually and they certainly cannot immediately perform like before.
