French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[$weetne$$]

PSG is usually the favourite to win the competition every league because the domestic league is more of their culture to always become winners every season but things took a different shape when they lost so many games leaving Lens with the option of becoming the new challenger for the league title. Lens has not lost the title they are still in the race what they need is to avoid more defeat then wiat for PSG to lose because their performance doesn't show that they won't lose again, the title is between them but the team that performs better should win the crown.

If lens keeps their focus and do not loose any game any further, all they will be needing will be just a slight opportunity from PSG and they will have the title from the defending champions. But PSG has one thing they are good at, and that is, they know how to navigate through the Ligue one no matter how difficult it gets, except in extreme cases of very large margins, they will still bounce back and win the title. But it would have been more fascinating having another team win this season.

What a match that is between Lens and Monaco now man!

When Lens found 2-0 early in the second half I expected a win for them comfortably just as many other people. However Monaco's reaction to that was incredible...

They scored 3 goals in only 11 minutes! Now they are still 3-2 ahead in the stoppage time. Who could have thought they would make such a comeback? That's way too much.

That comeback was really incredible, no one saw that coming. We all thought Lens won the game today, not until the second half when we saw the game had turned for them, and Monaco incredibly won 3 goals in a short time. That means Lens will have to leave that top spot for the owners, which is PSG, because PSG will definitely win today’s game. They are currently winners with a goal already, just some minutes from the start of the game, so Lens are not just capable of what we all expect them to do.

I'm so disappointed with Lens'performance against Monaco because after Lens were winning Monaco by 2-0, I never expected Lens would lose to Monaco. I don't know what happened to Lens in the second half and they allowed Monaco to score three goals in the space of eleven minutes and snatched the three points from them. Lens loss to Monaco has given PSG a chance to reclaim the number one spot in the Ligue 1 table, and I don't know if Len will have a chance to go top of the Ligue 1 table again this season.

Seeing Lens win the title would be a better thing cause they are the only team that has made the league more enjoyable this season because they have been so consistent in their performance making it very hard for PSG to be comfortable like they used to be in the previous season it's been a good season for Lens and they can still go back to the top should PSG  losses in any game.

Lens is behind PSG after their home defeat today but an opportunity cdn still happen when PSG drop points, Lens just need to remain consistent.

Yes, it was a big disappointment to see Lens lose just after they had returned to first place and seemed to have brought the intrigue back into the race. But it's still worth noting that Monaco is a serious opponent, even if they're in a temporary crisis. Plus, the situation isn't dire yet – PSG is still struggling in the Champions League, and Lens has a chance of seeing them make another mistake. In the next round, Lens plays Strasbourg away and it will again be a tough game.

Yes, PSG is always the favorite team to win Ligue 1 every season, but for now, they are not the only favorite team to win it. Despite being the team topping the table at the moment, Lens has the same chance as PSG to win Ligue 1. There are only two points separating them, with PSG leading by a narrow margin.We cannot say that PSG is going to win all their matches because they have not been consistent at this point. The way PSG is currently playing does not convince me that they will win all their remaining matches. The same applies to Lens. There are still tough matches among the remaining fixtures, and I believe PSG may drop points, while Lens may also drop points.That could later give Lens the advantage to return to the top position. When Lens went top last week, nobody expected PSG to lose their game to Rennes. So, PSG is unpredictable this 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.

PSG is the King of France there's no other team that can compete with them, in my opinion, Personally, I know this team will win Ligue 1 again. I don't know what might happen to the other teams, but I believe things will improve for this team because every team goes through crises, and PSG is one of them, so they're not exempt from this. At any moment, PSG will start winning and winning.

At least you understand that PSG chances of winning the league is the same with that of Lens though they have higher chances now because they are the bigger team and they may stand the chance to win their remaining games but there is something that we all should nut take away from Lens which is why I do not think they are giving up so fast because they are so consistent despite their usual lapses lately, PSG is not consistent they can still end up losing more games than Lens that could be the moment Lens needs to overcome time.

If they manage to keep the pressure on PSG, they have the chance next round, which is the mirror of the current one, Lens is playing Metz wich should be easyand PSG meets Monaco, quite funny since they also have the two meetings between PSG and Monaco in the CL, so there is a chance at a flip...if not...
there is almost nothing till April when they meet PSG head-on.

But honestly, I don't see Lens managing this...they crash way to easily under pressure, and if PSG goes full guns on them from minute 1, they will lose that chance also.

Still no odds or their direct game, it's still too early but I don't think PSG will be higher than 1.75.

I don't really know what happened to all my favorite yesterday take a look at  Madrid they failed, chelsea also failed and lens also failed. I was so much disappointed with lens because the kind of confident and support I have for them, I was disappointed because i was having doubt on their performance to maintain that top, and unfortunately the approve me right.

PSG still remain one of the strongest team in the French League because take a look at how others are performing, they are not as consistency as what PSG can do, because PSG is bigger than them in any way. Now they have taken their place and so many teams tried to take it away from them but they all failed.

Yes, PSG do possess a very strong winning mentality, and this is evident in their performance, as they once trailed Lens at the top of the table, but managed to catch up and now sit atop the table with a two-point lead over Lens. Usually, in tight situations like this, PSG are able to overcome the pressure and ultimately win the title. And it seems that situation will also be the case this season, where if PSG leads the table, other teams will find it difficult to compete with them for the title.

Lens has not lost the title they are still in the race what they need is to avoid more defeat then wiat for PSG to lose because their performance doesn't show that they won't lose again, the title is between them but the team that performs better should win the crown.

PSG are currently under pressure they brought upon themselves even if they won their last game, the game plan has changed on like last season that they used up to 20pt to gap the team next to them and 19pt to win the league, the plan worked very well and made it easy for PSG but this time around is like the concentration is being focused on one side, the champions league.
Lens have every right to fight closely for the title since they only have the league games to battle for unlike PSG that have champions league to struggle their way into the next round, it is clear that should any one drop point like you said it will be the other team that will take over and I won't be surprised if Monaco knock PSG out in the second leg (UCL) for PSG to turn their full attention to only the league games and if that happens, I don't think Lens can come close to PSG on the table even if it's a two horse race for the title.

You are right, what PSG is facing right now they made it come to them because they had everything in control before now but they become too comfortable to the point of not being able to maintain a solid performance which is necessary to continue their dominance in the league while they also pursue their champions League race. Lens has been fighting for the league this season they have a closer chance to overtake PSG again once they allow them but this time it may be impossible for PSG to get pass them once they see the top of the table again.

Currently is 2pt that PSG are holding on as league leaders while Lens are waiting for that error to take over, this won't be the only time we see Lens at the top I'm sure of that, in as much as PSG are showing that dominance in every game I still feel some key players might be absent and if it happens that they drop point and Lens win their game then a miracle need to happen for Lens to drop from the top. This is a similar thing that is going in the EPL right now, with Lens doing a great job in holding the number 1 spot for long shows they can get this title just a matter of time.

If PSG wins their next fixture and to the table ahead of lens by 5 points, I doubt if Lens will be able  to catch up again, PSG will make sure to the fact that the points gap is maintained and they will also not give any space or room for and to any form of decline again on their side, all the chances to win the title they will be sure to utilise to the best without having to leave behind any of the opportunities so as not to deny them the title.

PSG are able to keep their focus and their winning mentality is strong as we saw today that they won at home against Metz after winning against Monaco in the first leg of the UCL playoffs. This win will really give them a great boost ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League, in fact I would say that the young player on this team, Desire Doue is in a flying rhythm because we all know that he scored two much-needed goals against Monaco in the glorious Champions League play off game and he also opened the scoring in just three minutes against Metz in today's match.

That was like the easiest game among their fixtures so there is nothing surprising with the result.  The biggest surprise can be called as the one Lens got against Monaco home...

I mean the same Monaco lost by a huge score against Lens in their previous head-to-head. They were going to lose again if it weren't for that amazing comeback. This means PSG are back in the lead again by the way.

I thought lens would hold the top spot in the table for a long time. At least until they face psg they will continue their winning streak and occupy the top spot in the table. But Lens lost the top spot in the table after losing 3-2 against Monaco.

Lens' players had no shortage of tries to win the home match against Monaco. Lens was leading 2-0 in the match until 60 minutes. But they conceded three consecutive goals within 62-72 minutes. And can not get back to the truck. On the other hand psg won the home match against metz by 3-0 . psg are now 2 points ahead of Lens at the top of the table.

I'm so disappointed with Lens'performance against Monaco because after Lens were winning Monaco by 2-0, I never expected Lens would lose to Monaco. I don't know what happened to Lens in the second half and they allowed Monaco to score three goals in the space of eleven minutes and snatched the three points from them.

Same here. I was gutted by the outcome of the match. Lens had a good home record, coupled with the fact that they thrashed Monaco 3-0 in the first leg. So I thought they would win the match, but they ended up losing and screwed their chance of maintaining the lead on top of the standing.

Lens loss to Monaco has given PSG a chance to reclaim the number one spot in the Ligue 1 table, and I don't know if Len will have a chance to go top of the Ligue 1 table again this season.

If Lens wins the next coming matches and the one against PSG in three weeks' time, they can reclaim the lead. But I doubt if they can do it.

I believe that when Lens scored two goals, they became very convinced that the result wouldn't change and forgot that Monaco has been in many situations where they were losing, scored a goal, and won in past seasons. Since Monaco started this season very poorly, Lens greatly underestimated them. This defeat could be the beginning of more defeats and a significant gap between them and PSG, and the story of other seasons where PSG won the league with three rounds to go will repeat itself.
