French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Jaycoinz]

Lens and Psg still have same chances only best team would  win the title. Lens could top the table again despite that they are two points behind psg. Lens next game is Strasbourg. Strasbourg has a home advantage since lens is away  lens would be aggressive because they are desperate for a win to overtake psg at the top place, Strasbourg is stubborn team when they are at home this would be a tough game for the both team. I don't like Strasbourg,they are strong at home they could stop lens from securing three points maybe I am wrong.

Regardless of whether Lens wins or not in the match, PSG will still lead the standings because their next opponent is Le Havre, there is a big possibility that PSG will win the match even though Le Havre is playing at their home ground, but PSG has a more capable squad and the difference in their positions in the standings is also very obvious, so that makes PSG have a big chance of winning and remaining in the lead in the standings.

No one wants to underestimate PSG because we know they're capable of winning the league based on their high level of quality. It will be a big shock if PSG lose the title to Lens because no one is expecting it. However, Lens might be lucky to win the title if they stay consistent in the rest of their matches.

With the way everything is going these days in football, I won't be surprised at all if PSG were to actually lose out the league to lens because football is a game of wonders and it's filled with so many surprises and lens themselves are actually not a small team because they have maintained the focus and playing strength till this time and I won't be surprised if they can meet up with their performance because PSG themselves aren't doing so well and they seem to be a lot of division in that team and when a team is divided so goes their strength.

I never get tired of telling people on this forum about the farmer's league practices in Ligue 1 & Bundesliga. It would be a coincidence if we finally see another team besides Paris Saint-Germain & Bayern Munich becoming the champions of these two leagues. We did see Lens perform well even though they were unlucky in their last match, but no matter how hard they try, Paris Saint-Germain will still be the strongest candidate to win the league.

Especially in Ligue 1, the difference in squad quality is really obvious. We all know that PSG is one of the richest clubs, with a super high quality squad that makes them look like an almost unbeatable giant. So I totally agree with your statement because, in reality, no other team has the same level of quality as PSG. Even if other teams look very strong at the beginning or middle of the season, in the end PSG still usually finishes as the leader.

[bitgolden]

Perhaps most people see this as euphoria because the quality of the players Lens has isn't much better than PSG's, so people judge this based on short-term results. I also hoped Lens could maintain their consistency so they could challenge PSG for the title, but seeing them lose momentum and win against Monaco diminished those hopes. They should have won this match as Monaco themselves haven't been much better than them this season. Now, PSG are back at the top of the table, just two points behind Lens and I'm sure PSG will be much more focused on consistent performance going forward.

That is true, the gap is now 2 points, and everyone can see that Lens normally shouldn't be this close to PSG, at least not this part of the season, sure maybe in the first ten games something like this could happen but after a while it became a very good success story for them even if they fail to win the league.

Reality is that Lens will not win the league and the hopes that maybe they could is something every other team wants because they do not want PSG to keep winning every year.

While PSG does look like they had harder time than expected because of how well Lens played this season, that is not because PSG played badly, because PSG played as good as they should, it was just Lens that was unexpectedly good this season and that is not a big deal at all because they can't go on doing this until the last game and we have seen them drop points on Monaco as well.

So there is a big chance that we are going to see Lens just fail to be this good at the end and PSG get it anyways.

All the teams in Europe are having a decline or irregularities, i understand that there are bad moments but it seems that all the European teams and the best ones are having problems, i don't understand what's so difficult, we're talking about a team that won everything last year, i don't know why they can't repeat it

[$weetne$$]

I don't think is possible for Lens to have the same chances as PSG, they are two clearly different and structurally different teams, PSG is much stronger and more organised because it still comes from last season which was incredible and also from a club that is willing to do everything to win.

I always say it that PSG has got a way around  the Ligue 1, they have mastered the league so well they can be literally down and find a way to still make it back to the top of the league and eventually win the league, and lens do not look like  they are really going to be able stop PSG this season maybe next but this season I still have not seen that capacity.

This physical and mental exhaustion can be explained by the logical reasons that make top teams not be able to necessary high standards that we could observe in the last seasons. Under the pressure of constantly winning the games, it weighs every player down with a heavy psychological burden with a very busy competition schedule. It has become clear to us that it is very hard to defend a title than to win one since the opponents are now more creative in mastering games. All of us need to wait during this transition chapter.

Yes, I feel the same way, PSG isn't as good as last season, but we can't say they won't be able to repeat their success before the season is truly over, and even though they're not performing at their strongest, at least there are still opportunities and chances to address issues within the team, so the possibility of winning any title remains open. Perhaps what needs more attention is the UCL competition, Luis Enrique needs to quickly restore the team strength from last season so that when they face strong teams, they can still be relied upon. As for Ligue 1, they're only competing with Lens, which is easier.

Lens should attempt winning the title nad make it very obvious that the farmers league title holds no grounds at the time any more.  PSG still have as much h chances to win the title as Lens so let us not be conclusive yet. But then we cannot undermine the effort of Lens so far, at least they have shown that the league can be more intriguing than what we have been used to too often in the past seasons, and that is very laudable.

Yes, Lens and PSG have the same chances of winning the Ligue title because the points difference between these two teams is slim. Lens should avoid the type of mistake they made against Monaco which caused them to surprisingly dropped three points against Monaco if they want to top the table again. Lens match against Strasbourg is a tough match, and I can't really predict the outcome of the match, because Strasbourg is a difficult team to beat on their home ground.

They have exactly the same chances now, but we have to consider that PSG is a very strong team with practically infinite resources compared to Lens, who are an excellent team and are demonstrating a lot, but let's say that the gap to be filled is still very large and they don't always manage to do everything they set out to do.

Well, who says they shouldn't be close to PSG? If they deserve it and are doing well, they clearly have to continue like this. Everyone is interested in knocking this team off the top spot. They're tired of always seeing them win, so they have to pull themselves together and try to win against PSG.

I don't think PSG is at a very high level, or at least not at last year's level, which is why Lens is trying to have the redemption he has always sought. i understand that it's not very easy, but this is certainly the right opportunity, so now they must try to maximize victories and points.

It's easy for us to pass judgment and try to understand what the problems are, but in reality we don't know how many problems they actually have. There are things we'll never be able to understand. These are superhuman efforts that ordinary people would never be able to make, so i also understand those who criticize without knowing.

I don't see any big difference between PSG last season and PSG this season. The difference is in the competitiveness of the French league. There was no team to compete with PSG last season or before, so we see them dominating and winning the title. But Lens is competing well this season, which is why PSG's weakness is noticeable. They were in a worse position in the Champions League last season, they have become unstoppable since the playoffs. If they get two more quality teams in the French league, the fight for PSG's title will be very difficult.

Actually, there hasn't been much of a major change in the French league. Contrary to what you're saying, Paris Saint-Germain is in a very bad situation this year. I mean, worse than last year. Otherwise, they are still leading the French league and continuing their Champions League journey after qualifying through the playoffs. Considering they drew 2-2 with Monaco, there's a possibility they might struggle in their upcoming matches.

Nevertheless, PSG remains one of the strongest teams in both the French Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

PSG is a very strong team and they have a lot of money, that's right. But there is no way to underestimate Lens this season. Unexpectedly, this team has performed very well this season. They have been performing consistently for a long time. And Lens is one of the most worthy contenders for the Ligue 1 title this season.
PSG is two points ahead at the top of the table. But if PSG's performance is unstable, if they lose points in any Ligue 1 match, then we are probably going to see Lens at the top of the table again. So far, both teams have equal chances of winning the title.

Lens must capitalize on this great opportunity this season, because they also have to realize that opportunities like this won't come twice. This means Lens will have to fight hard this season to win the Ligue 1 trophy, because PSG are struggling, so Lens' chance to be the best in Ligue 1 this season is clearly very open. Although Lens still have to distance themselves from PSG in terms of points, if they are still relatively close, they will certainly be under a lot of pressure until the end of the season.

Paris Saint-Germain is continuing its journey in the Champions League. To perform well in the later matches of this stage, they will have to rotate their squad in the French league. This will be an increased motivation for Lens to win 3 points. Lens, currently aiming for the championship in the French league, surely wanted Paris Saint-Germain to advance in the Champions League. Lens will take advantage of this opportunity after PSG suffers any points loss.

[Velvet78]

PSG are going back to the Ligue 1 after eliminating Monaco in the Champions League. But they really struggled about it! Especially against a problematic Monaco, that was really not an impressive performance in defense.  

Now they will play away agains Le Havre to secure their lead for this round in the Ligue 1. I don't expect any surprises. I think Lens could lose points once again. Strasbourg is a challenging opponent and Lens are the away side in this one.

[LUCKMCFLY]

PSG are not only after the Ligue 1 trophy, but also the Champions League, which is why they have had some challenges in Ligue 1. That still does not mean they will not be able to get the Ligue 1 trophy. They are just making the right move at the right time, so having hope that Lens can change that is a waste of time.

PSG is a team that has always been the best in France , it's a fact that it has always been that way, and now it's Obvious that they want to win both trophies I see PSG doing quite well for the Champions League and I see them doing very well to win Ligue 1, I know there are good teams in Ligue 1 and so far the most Dominant team in Ligue 1 is PSG and for now I don't think the leader will change.

Yes, i wouldn't mind at all, it would be a way to change the style of play of many leagues and a real change on a global level, the world of football is changing and those teams that were once certain are no longer, these rankings admit that this change is already happening
