French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Mayor of ogba]

Truth be told Lens was actually disappointing this season, like they literally had every golden opportunity to win this season French Ligue 1 title, but they chose to mess it all up, this was same opportunity Lille hard in some seasons past and they actually won the league, but Lens chose to misuse theirs, now there's no hope for them again apart from Playing in the UEFA Champions League comes next season, well I must say that is a very nice achievement for them this season, but it would have been more better if they had won the league title.

We all know that it's not easy for any team in the French Ligue 1 to stop PSG from winning the French Ligue 1 title, but when Lens was showing a sign they could dethroning PSG this season, a lot of people gave Lens their support because they are tired and sick of seeing PSG winning the French Ligue 1 title. So I don't think Lens is a disappointment this season. I am so proud of Lens because they challenged PSG and made them fight for the title this season, and if not for Lens, PSG wouldn't have had any challenge this season.

It was a really good challenge from Lens, they made the French league a bit more competitive. The French league was popular known as the "farmer's league" because of how uncompettive the league was, making it boring for fans and viewers. They have won the league cup for 4 consecutive seasons and that makes the win look so easy without any competition. Lens did their best but I think PSG still owns the league this season too.

That's the problem with a team that doesn't have all it takes to be champions. They start the season in a good form and overtime, the drop form because the player are tired and eaten up by fatigue. If you observed PSG performance, there was a time that they were not doing well but later, they picked form in the middle of the season and that has really helped them to be consistent with their games till date even in the Champions league.

Lens will never be able to compete with a team like PSG, neither from a financial point of view nor from the point of view of the players, they have a completely different level, yet they have put in an incredible performance so far, it doesn't seem possible to me that a team like that could have gotten this far.

Lens's level ​​are completely different that's right. It is also true that they cannot compete with PSG in terms of money and players. But this  season Lens is performing well. And made psg's road to the title more difficult. This is our prediction that PSG will win the title. But  until last week, PSG looked likely to lose the title. But with lens dropping points in  two consecutive matches, PSG's road to the title has become wider. PSG is now ahead of Lens by 6 points. Although lens failed to win the title , the team played incredibly well this season.

Lens has been quite impressive this season, as they’ve managed to compete with PSG for the Ligue 1 title. Although there’s no denying that PSG is superior in terms of quality, Lens has managed to keep the Ligue 1 title race exciting and even held onto second place for quite some time. If Lens manages to hold onto this position until the end of the season, it will be a commendable achievement, and they need not feel like they’ve failed, as this is the best they could possibly achieve.

Both teams tried to do goals in this match And no team was successful to do more than 1 goal in this match and aggregate of Paris Saint-Germain football team was good in this match and they won the match at the end and they deserve that win . The shots of that team were 15 in this match and 8 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 38 percent in this match and passes of that team were 256 in this match. Harry Kane was a person who did  Last goal of the match and he did this goal at 94 minutes of the match and he made a match for his team and team was happy to perform in this match and they should try to win the match by doing back to back goals and their performance was not good in penalties and at the end they lose this match

scoring in a match like this means that you are still trying and putting in a real effort, that's for sure, having the clarity to face these teams with so much at stake shows that the team is really strong and really great, the spirit was there and Bayern Munich tried in every way

There is a level of depth and form that PSG has got that a team like Lens is not ready to compete at that level just yet, so even if they put in all the efforts and try their best, the much they can achieve will be top 3 to qualify for the champions league.

It was really beautiful to see the league with a very high sense of competition this season but for those who understands the league very well will know PSG was still going  to win it, if it were to be teams like Marseille or Lillie who was going heads on against PSG for the title race, then we would have expected a new champion to emerge because these teams does have the experience.

After securing the Champion League final ticket now PSG have focus for domestic league match against Brest next week, remaining 6 points from Lens actually make PSG has good position to secure Ligue 1 tittle as soon as possible by winning upcoming two matches later from Brest and Lens. I don't think Lens has opportunity to stop PSG keep dominance for several season winning Ligue 1 tittle exactly for this season behind 6 points remaining of 3 matches left its quite difficult to drop PSG at second standings place.

Amazing season for PSG after securing UCL final ticket and one step closer for winning Ligue 1 trophy just miss the French Cup and its almost done for treble winner this season, I think no doubt to pick PSG as the Ligue 1 winner this season and likely Champion League not really difficult yet.

PSG clearly had the chance to win against Brest, i don't think there were ever any discussions, they will certainly now face the draw with a light heart, considering that they will certainly play the final, they must be happy and will face the championship with a different spirit.

Unless they are bought by rich people yeah Lens would never be able to compete PSG at the same level.    Maybe one day they can get a surprise title like Lille did some years ago that's it.

Lens have the 8th most total market value among the Ligue 1 teams now. Still they are very likely to finish the season in the 2nd place. That's already a superb work done by them!

The first game of next round is starting with a Lens - Nantes game tomorrow. It is normally a too easy game for Lens on paper. But they are really full of surprises recently! 

1.43 odds have been given for Lens to win this game. It is attracting, I won't lie about it. But they lost points in which they were supposed to win these days. This is why I can't trust them even against Nantes...

(Source)
The available odds indicate that Lens is the clear favorite in this match. Lens previously managed to defeat Nantes despite playing away in their fifteenth-round encounter. And tonight Lens will host Nantes, where the match will be held at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. I think that’s one reason why Lens is such a heavy favorite. Lens’ performance has also remained strong in their last five Ligue 1 matches, where they suffered only one loss against Lille. As for Nantes they haven’t been very convincing by having secured just one win in their last five matches. So I personally predict that Lens will easily defeat Nantes tonight. And the fact that Lens is playing at home makes me even more confident that they will crush Nantes.

Lens messed up a lot of chances they got at winning the French league on several occasions when PSG gave lens the chance to on top, it happened that lens couldn't maintain or extend their lead at the top but would drop points where they require a win to stay top, Lens could have even extended their lead to 10 points if they had been consistent but they allowed PSG to return to the top despite a very tedious schedule in the UCL, indeed Lens has been very poor this season in terms of competing for the title.

In a few minutes, Lens will play against Nantes. It will be a game involving the team that currently occupies second place in the table, which mathematically still has some chance of fighting for the title. But for that, they would have to win today and pray that PSG loses against Brestrois, a very weak team that I consider an impossible mission for PSG to lose to. But supposing such a miracle happened, then Lens would have to beat PSG and also pray that PSG would lose again, this time against Paris, the team that causes headaches when PSG plays against them. So I see that the title race is already decided and the winner will be PSG.

There's no doubt that Paris Saint-Germain will win the league title, it's like a tradition for this team. No matter how hard Lens try, they will never make their dream of becoming Ligue 1 champions come true. Talking about the Lens - Nantes match, as expected Lens dominated the match, however, the match is currently still goalless in the 40th minute.
I believe that Lens will win this match, even if they only win by a small score.

Lens real problem is their inability to maintain their edge in the game. I could see, they already won today but PSG will have to concede a few more times which is actually very unlikely.

PSG are out of reach. The title is now in their pocket. Unless they make a big mess of their own. However it seem a bit too much to say that Brest will win against PSG. But at the end of the day it is football, any big team can drop point on any day. The main concern is this game will be played away from Brest's home. So I could say there is still a chance for Lens but it is only mathematical and that is like trying to fit an elephant through a needle, lol

[execijutiere]

Lens managed to defeat Nantes at home, closing the gap on PSG by three points. It’s worth noting that they struggled to score against Nantes. The only goal of the match came from Dipo Sima in the 71st minute. Since they’ll be hosting PSG next week, they’ve secured three crucial points for now. If they hadn’t drawn in the last two weeks, they might have had a chance to beat PSG and win the title, but it doesn’t look like they’ll be able to capitalize on that opportunity. I don’t think PSG will lose.

[trendcoin]

Lens maintains its position in the race for the top, but PSG is undoubtedly the league favorite. Next week, PSG will play away against Lens. Therefore, they must defeat Brest in tomorrow’s match. The away match against Lens could be a tough one for them. They might face an upset there. They need to avoid making mistakes against Brest so they can head into the Lens away match with more confidence. I think they’ll use the home-field advantage to win this match easily...

Once again, their good effort proved to be good and they are 3 points away from PSG and it has become another opportunity for Lens to play well so that the league is successful for them and it is true that PSG has become the necessary title team for everyone. Lens won the match with a good effort and scored 1 goal and got points. Now Lens also have 3 matches and PSG also have 3 points and one Champions League final match. Although PSG has the advantage that they have 3 points and even if they lose the match, PSG can win the title. And the match is very important for both of them in which they will face each other. If PSG loses and draws in one match, Lens can win the title by winning all the matches but it is very difficult for them so I think PSG deserves it.

It was a difficult game for Lens yesterday although they managed to score late goal to reduce the point between them and PSG but it's still going to be hard for them to defeat PSG when they host them in their next game so that they can hope to challenge them for the league trophy. Based on the upcoming champions League finals involving PSG and Arsenal, PSG will try to avoid injuries on their key players so it's a good advantage for Lens to capitalize on that advantage but I don't know if they can defeat PSG to stand the chance to still win the league.

Lens hopes of overtaking PSG at the top of the table have ended with two matches remaining, plus two matches against the likes of PSG and Lyon. Lens beat Nantes not to compete with PSG, but to maintain their position in second place and they succeeded.

Lens has managed to maintain second place despite their losses to PSG and Lyon as they currently hold a seven-point lead over Lyon. So, even if Lyon wins against Toulouse and Lens they won't be able to overtake Lens in second place. PSG now only needs a win against Brest to secure the title.

In sports, it is not over until it is over. I know PSG can't lose three straight games, but nothing is impossible in sports. PSG's match against Brest tomorrow would determine who wins the League. A loss will keep the French league title chase open. Lens would also need to win in their next games against the defending champions.

Many French League fans have expected that this season would be different since Lens was doing well. That expectation seems to be evaporating since the title is now at the mercy of PSG.
