French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Lyon, who have been out of form, hosted Monaco at home. Lyon managed to take the lead in the first half through Pavel Sulc, but lost the match after conceding two goals in the second half. It is fair to say that Monaco put in a better performance. I believe they certainly deserved to win the match. With this victory, they have closed the gap on the teams competing for a top-six finish. The points are very close between them.
In the clash between two teams battling against relegation, the home side Paris FC emerged victorious. Playing at home, Paris beat their opponents 3-2 and, with this victory, opened up a four-point gap over them. Having increased the points gap with the 16th-placed team to nine, the home side will be able to approach the next two or three matches with greater ease.

There's too much closeness among the teams this period by point and that shows how more competitive the league is becoming. PSG too is battling to secure a clear gap at the top now to help them to be sure of their place at the top. Lens is just one point behind PSG even though PSG still has an outstanding game of which even if they win, they will only be 4 goals ahead. There's no safe place for any of them so it's not just about the top 4 place, the race away from relegation is also as tough as the top 4 race or the top 6. Toulouse will be visiting PSG in a game that appears to be tough game. The last time Toulouse won PSG was at Paris last 2 years ago when they won away by 1-3. There's every tendency that there could be a draw but PSG will need a win which is why it Will be a more tough game.

PSG's performance has been a  bit erratic since the beginning of the season. We also said that PSG players are not in great form this season like last season. But they have gradually been able to improve their performance. PSG is  now much more organized and strong than before. They  have been able to continue their winning streak in ligue 1. They have also won both matches against chelsea by a large margin in the champions league match. It is expected that PSG will continue this streak against liverpool as well. Luis enrique is fighting for both Ligue 1 and champions league titles this season as well.

Their important players were not fit and the two best players went on an injury that lasted for a long period, It affected their performance in the League and even Champions League but when those players got back and fit, you can see how the team has improved so well. One player I think is not really rated as expected is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Dembele might be the key figure in the team but Khvicha is fantastic, he's the reason why winning Chelsea in the Champions League was much easier. Winning the Ligue 1 is possible but the Champions League would be tougher.

This is true, they had many missing players, hell Dembele, the guy who is Ballon D'or level, ended up being injured for a long time at the start of the season. So we can safely say that we are not going to see PSG end up with a loss or lose the title, it was just the bad period when they had many missing players but they are doing now so we should not be shocked about it, we can definitely see them do a fine job and we can definitely get the title. Lens did alright too, they are close, but doubt they can win it.

In the French league, we didn't expect anyone other than Paris Saint-Germain to win. Everyone expected Paris Saint-Germain to win the championship at the start of the season. They are currently battling Lens and nothing is certain yet, but they are still competing in the Champions League and I'm almost certain they will win the French league.

We know Paris Saint-Germain has played poorly in some matches and we've seen them drop points. Lens will play very important matches here. The results Lens gets from these matches will determine the championship. If Lens wins every match, Paris Saint-Germain dropping points will work in their favor, but if Lens loses points, Paris Saint-Germain can win the championship more easily. Right now, we're only talking about two teams with a chance at the championship, and the stronger team is Paris Saint-Germain.

Bookmakers are currently pricing the title race as follows:

PSG - 1.04

Lens - 15.0

PSG's odds seem absurd given the risk that just one draw and one loss in the head-to-head match could deprive PSG of the title. If I were to bet, I would bet on Lens, although even here the bookmakers could be more generous. But it's still more pleasant to aim at 1400% than at 4%  Plus, losing a small amount of money on a risky bet doesn't seem as nerve-wracking as risking a large amount of money on a "safe" one.

Paris Saint Germain can still drop points before they finish the remaining matches of the season, Lens can still have another opportunity to top the table but they will still give it up for Paris Saint Germain because they have done that about a couple of times. Paris Saint Germain is targeting to win the Champions League back-to-back so they will definitely divide their attention to both the Ligue 1 and the Champions League games. Lens is not a trusted team otherwise i would have loved to see them win the title instead of Paris Saint Germain.

If the request of PSG is not granted in the league for some of their matches to be postponed they will have issues winning the league this time because of Lens, the chances are there for PSG to drop points in their remaining games if they will be having a tight fixture in the champions League and the league games Lens having the league matches as their only focus can make use of the opportunity to go back to the top of the table and this time it will be hard for PSG to overtake them again because of the closeness in their points. You don't have to trust Lens to believe that they has tried this season with the level of players they have but PSG should be careful if nut they may lose both the league and the champions League trophy.

It is difficult for us to make this decision at this time because both are in a position from which we can hope for both of them to win the title. Although now a point will be worth a lot, PSG is more than 1 point, so at this time they are stronger. If anyone loses a match, it will be unfortunate for them and their poor performance, due to which they will lose the title. At this time, it is important for both of them to win the title because both of them have worked hard to maintain themselves at the top. If PSG wins, we have been saying this from the beginning and if Lens succeeds in this, it will be the best decision of this season. I also think that Lens can win because PSG has played some matches this time in which they were stronger but they were not successful, but PSG has won matches recently. The more they have to go to the end of the league, the more difficult it is for them, so we have to wait for a good time.

I don't see such a huge difference between the two teams. The point difference between them isn't that great yet. So, mathematically, I still think Paris Saint-Germain is in the risky zone. However, considering the quality of the squads and the differences between the two teams, yes, Paris Saint-Germain is most likely to win the French league, but the odds seem unrealistic to me.

Rennes faced Metz at home. The home team dominated the match but couldn’t find the back of the net. Rennes failed to capitalize on a key opportunity. Metz is already as good as relegated, but this was a chance for Rennes to tie Monaco in points.
Nantes failed to secure a win at home against Strasbourg. Both teams have different goals, but the three points from this match were crucial for Nantes. I no longer think they can stay in the league.

Even if PSG lost they would be still leading, that's the important thing when you are facing an opponent that is close, having a leeway to lose. Right now PSG is ahead, so if they lose the extra game, they would still be ahead, they have one game at hand and still leading, meaning they can afford to lose.

This is what makes PSG at ease, and because they got better and been doing better for a while, it's clear that we are going to see them not have a lot of trouble, they will be fine, Lens is not that good, PSG is vastly better.

But excluding the direct game, PSG will play with
Toulouse, Lyon, Nantes, Angers, Lorient, Brest, ParisFC
Thing is, other than Lyon, none of the teams have anything to play for...Nothing!
Toulouse is 9 points off from a cup placing, and Nantes is 10 points away from avoiding relegation

Lens will have to not only beat PSG but also beat Lyon and Lille on top of that!
