French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[GiftedMAN]

Yes, PSG has won the league title with goal difference since they have 44 against 29 goals for their rival Lens and the gap is still 6 points since PSG got a narrow victory over Brest in the game that just ended a couple of minutes ago. Right now PSG next focus will be to prepare and wait for Arsenal while they also hope that Lens will drop point to give them easy access to lift the trophy instead of struggling to win their remaining games in the league and also score goals.

Lens has one small opportunity if they win against psg in the next matchs it will be difficult for psg to prepare for champion league match or league match against Paris FC . It very hard for psg if they drop points in the match against Lens they need double preparation for both matches either it's champion league or it's a league match against Paris Fc . Psg already lose match against Paris Fc in the French Cup and a narrow 2: 1 win in the league so Paris Fc will be tough battle for Psg . They hope they can bring minimum of 1 points against Lens otherwise Lens can give them a tough battle for the Legue 1 title.  Let's see What's psg can do in the Next matchday against Lens.  I hope psg can tackle Lens to secure the title

I don't know how the Ligue1 counts their own head to head when there are equal points but from my first comment I already mentioned that PSG is 6 points ahead of Lens and they also have goal difference of 44:29, even though they lose their last two matches which is not possible they can still win the league by goal difference. Lens may struggle to avoid defeat by PSG but getting a draw for PSG is all that is needed to win them and be given the league. PSG don't really need to stress for the champions League finals because they had already won the league.

They still have 2 away games but winning against Brest gave them a boost and I don't see how they'll drop 6 points to Lens and Paris FC even though those matches are away games. As it stands PSG remains favorite to win the Ligue title and there's no point giving Lens any hope after being 6 points below them.
 Even if they lose or draw to Lens they can still win Paris FC, where not even sure Lens would win their remaining matches cause they're playing Lyon after PSG, consecutive tough games for them. If you notice Enrique's tactics recently you'll see that he's playing safe by starting with the 2nd team and introducing some of the 1st team players later on to score when the opponent is weaker.

Ligue 1 is difficult for teams competing with PSG. We will see a competitive start to the season, where there will be several teams competing with PSG. But by mid-season, we will see PSG's dominance return. No team has enough money and ability in Ligue 1 to overcome PSG's dominance. Some may seem to show competition, but we can only hope that it lasts until the end of the season. Unfortunately, most have already run out of energy.

Lens are a mediocre team, but we have seen good competition from them this season. They kept the Ligue 1 title in doubt for about 25 rounds of matches. But they did not see the ability to continue that competition until the end of the season. However, I am not disappointed, but I am positive that they will come back stronger in the coming season and turn Ligue 1 into a competitive league. The best achievement for them this season is qualifying for the Champions League.

Yes, they can qualify for the Champions League, but if they don't make more progress, it will be difficult for them to compete. The only representative from Ligue 1 at the moment remains PSG. Monaco and Marseille are also struggling. Hopefully, next season we will see more teams from Ligue 1 becoming stronger.

Lens has made the Ligue 1 competition look interesting for quite some time. Although in the end, Lens couldn't break PSG dominance, Lens has tried their best. Maintaining performance is not easy for ordinary teams, but I think Lens has done quite well and deserves appreciation. At least next season this club will play in the UCL and that will be a tougher challenge because Lens must be able to maintain stability amidst a busy schedule.
I hope in the coming seasons there will be other clubs like Lens so that the competition in Ligue 1 will be more interesting like other top leagues.

You are taking this personally, and I don't know how it becomes a cheat or a crime for a match to be postponed. The match wasn't postpone for no just cause, it was postponed because of Champions League, and it was a valid request filed by PSG, which often happens in football. Was Lens in the league and filed a request and wasn't granted by Ligue 1 body?

We need to be fair on this, as it's never a cowardice, and the fact that a match was postpone doesn't mean the match will not be played in the future. The day (13th of May) is near than you think, and we will surely know the better side among the two. However, with the look of things, PSG will most likely win both the Champions League and Ligue 1 this season.

I don't know all the reasons why a match could be postponed but I know that bad weather can cause a match to be postponed and I also know that a team having a Champions League match isn't enough reason for the team to postponed their domestic match in order to avoid dropping points in their domestic match. PSG's performance this season in the French Ligue 1 has deteriorated so bad that they can't play three straight matches without dropping points. PSG knew they would drop points in their league match in a Champions League week if they proceed to play their domestic match, because Luis Enrique would rotate his players in order for his team to perform optimally in the Champions League and get outstanding result so they requested for their league match to be postponed so that they could fully focused on their Champions League match, and since the French FA wants PSG to win the Champions League back to back they favored PSG and postponed their league match. To me, for PSG to postponed their league match without a valid reason is a pure cheat and is a sign of cowardice because they were afraid to play the match in the original date it was scheduled for them to play it.

PSG have made a MOVE for Julián Álvarez ahead of the summer window.

Talks with the striker’s entourage are said to have been ongoing for several weeks already.
Luis Enrique is a HUGE admirer of Álvarez and sees him as the PERFECT addition to his attack.

The main source is close to PSG as far as I can see from the link. But I don't know... Maybe it could be just a rumour as well.

Because you know PSG have been used to playing without a real number 9. Luis Enrique is happy with using Dembélé as their CF. 

Alvarez is rather linked with Barcelona recently. PSG don't need a signing for the position as they still can fight for the Champions League title easily.

Lyon suffered an unexpected away defeat yesterday and handed the initiative back to Lille. The final few weeks have certainly been thrilling, and it’s significant for the fans that the matches are so exciting in the week leading up to the final round. Toulouse scored in the first half at home and put in a strong performance against Lyon in the second half. Seven minutes after scoring the equaliser, Lyon conceded another goal and lost the match. This is a significant loss of points for Lyon. It looks as though they have missed out on the chance to qualify directly for the Champions League ahead of the final week.

Woow! This is going to be a good move for  both. Alvarez may not score as many goals as Mbappe and Haaland. But he is a talented  and decent player. Alvarez has been in great form for the last two years. He has played well in both la liga and the champions league. Enrique is looking for a talented forward like that. The  bonding between the players at psg is excellent . If Alvarez can adapt to Enrique's match strategy , I think he will have the best  time of his career at PSG.

Auxerre beat Nice and managed to move above them in the table. With this victory, Nice have slipped to 16th place heading into the final week, whilst Auxerre sit in 15th. Their rivals will decide whether either team faces a relegation play-off. In my view, Auxerre have no chance, as they are away to Lille.

We would keep hearing of interest from different clubs for Alvarez because he is a total striker. But I don't know how Barcelona would be able to afford him since they are going through financial problems. It is estimated that the player is worth approximately €99.million €121.7 million. PSG seems to have the better financial standing to sign the Argentine strikers. But I presume that he would have more playing time in Barcelona since PSG has a balanced attack.

[Waleron Wycliffe]

Monaco lost at home to Lille and, with Marseille also winning, dropped to sixth place. I don’t think either Monaco or Lille played particularly well in the match; in fact, Lille scored their goal by sheer luck. The three points are particularly important for Lille, especially as Lyon have lost, which makes them even more crucial.

Monaco and Marseille are also struggling. Hopefully, next season we will see more teams from Ligue 1 becoming stronger.

Lens is not capable of challenging PSG in an open field and Ligue 1 is now in PSG's hands, but i believe that these players have made a sumptuous journey, and have reached a very high level, it is clear that this qualifies this team as one of the best in the championship, and they must be proud of this.

If this rumor is true, it is good news, Alvarez current selling price has increased, it means he is playing very well with Atletico Madrid, but for me, I don't think PSG should sign him, I just don't want what has happened with PSG at this time to be messy, PSG current squad is considered to be very perfect, besides there is a possibility that Alvarez will only play more as a reserve player, like when he was at Man City. That could reduce the sharpness in playing for him.

It's perfectly normal that they want to sign Julian Alvarez, but PSG doesn't have a problem in that position. They have very good players there, and they always show it. Instead of spending that much money on him, they could focus on adding good defensive players to the team. I'm also curious to see who PSG will sign.

It's perfectly logical that interesting opportunities are opening up for him, but what was completely illogical to me was his move to Atlético, where all the bright personalities blend in with the team. Plus, let's not forget that Atlético doesn't award titles. They write that Atletico is ready to let him go for 130 million euros. Alvarez has a contract until 2030, so they hold all the cards. Besides PSG, Arsenal and Barcelona are also interested in him, but haha, where does Barcelona get that kind of money?

 They still have 2 away games but winning against Brest gave them a boost and I don't see how they'll drop 6 points to Lens and Paris FC even though those matches are away games. As it stands PSG remains favorite to win the Ligue title and there's no point giving Lens any hope after being 6 points below them.

The Ligue is obviously a won title for PSG this season, firstly Lens currently is behind them with 6 points and all PSG needs to win the title will be to win another game to make it 9 points and Lens may typically have no chance at it any more. Paris does not seem like a challenge to PSG, very likely even Lens too.

I believe that there isn't much to do, other than wait for the end of the championship, clearly anything can happen and everything is still open, but let's say that the fact that PSG has such an advantage, in my opinion there is no possibility that Lens will be able to catch up and then overcome PSG, and they also have difficult matches ahead of them.

I happen to read this news as well but it could still be true after all, Simeone would be leaving Atletico Madrid and if a worthy manager doesn't step in, he'll leave. His goalscoring dropped this season. Anyone else observed?!

The news makes sense but I think they will rather sign up Mason Greenwood than move for Julain Alvarez.

Barcelona do not even have the financial power to get him. Arsenal also linked to say something about his move but no contact established between themselves.

PSG's performance this season in the French Ligue 1 has deteriorated so bad that they can't play three straight matches without dropping points.

I get it, everyone wants a change in dominance in Ligue 1, at least, let another club like Lens win the trophy this time. Fair enough! But this shouldn't be achieved on some flimsy allegations. Two clubs want to meet, then it was postponed, and so? Postponement doesn't mean denial, so I don't even see a reason why this is a big deal. No sport on earth hasn't had its own postponement, so what? When they meet again, that would change the outcome, right? Let them go and prepare. How certain that Lens would beat PSG if they never postponed it or Lens would not beat PSG when they meet tomorrow?
