French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[$weetne$$]

Marseille hosted Rennes at home. Marseille made no mistakes against their in-form opponent and managed to overtake them by defeating them 3-1. We can say that both teams fought until the very end to win the match, and it was truly an entertaining encounter. With this result, Marseille finished the league in 5th place, securing at least a spot in the Europa League. Rennes, meanwhile, will qualify for the Conference League. The fact that both teams took 27 shots throughout the match and the score remained at 3-1 is a clear indication of how many scoring opportunities were missed.

Fifth position does not really look that bad, after all it gets them to qualify for the Europa for next season but then i actually did expected even more form them, Marseille is one team i really do admire in the French league so much and my expectations of them is really high because i do place them that high as a top team in the league so i was hoping to see them finish around the top three or at worse the top four but now they are finishing fifth.

Next season we hope to see them do better and contend at the top for the title as they have got what it take to contend.

The intensity of the two team on the field was worth watching. And the way Marseille won the match 3-1, they really deserved this victory.
However taking a total of 27 shot in the whole match is not too unusual for Ligue 1. The real story is that Marseille are completely cold headed when finishing. It is not that Rennes is not creating opportunity but their forwards were completly distroied in final third.

The match between Strasbourg and Monaco was a true goal-scoring duel. The home team, Strasbourg, emerged victorious. Although Monaco led 3-1 at halftime, Strasbourg managed to turn the game around. Scoring four goals in the second half, Strasbourg won the match 5-4, treating us to a high-scoring encounter in the final week of the season. With this result, Monaco finished the league in 7th place with 54 points, while Strasbourg finished in 8th place with 53 points. I had predicted that Monaco would finish in the top 6, but the points they lost in the final weeks caused them to finish outside the top 6.

The way they turned around from that situation in the game was really eye catching.

However it was already clear that Monaco would be crushed like this at last moment. You know there was no consistency in their play throughout the season. Plus the players on bench were also lacking in strength. It is nothing new for them to lose their breath like this at the last minute, they have always been like this. Given their disorganized situation 7 is the only realistic position for them in my opinion

To be fair Lyon still could go to UCL, maybe I am wrong on this but as far as I know, there is a good chance that we could see them win this and feel like they are just going to play knock out stages but they will be able to still have a chance to go to UCL right?

So while this last game situation was bad for them, and if they won they could have been top three and go there for sure, it's still clear that Lyon will have a chance. No idea what happened with that ownership situation, but they should be fine now.

Strasbourg Alsace football team played very well against Monaco football team because that team did 5 goals in this match and opponent team did 4 goals in this match. Godo was a person who did back to back 2 goals in this match and he did first goal at 33 minutes of the match and that was important goal of the match and gave good strength to his team. Camara performance was also brilliant in this match because he did also 2 goals in this match and he did first goal at 9 minutes of the match and that was first goal of the match.  Camara did goal again at 41 minutes of the match and that was a person who played for the team and whole team performance was bad in this match and at the end they lose this match.

PSG still needs to be careful, if they get too cocky then it is not going to be easy for them to keep this going, it's not really easy to fix and we should not really be considering them doing a fine job. I understand that it may look like we are dealing with a simpler team for PSG to beat which is understandable, but not all teams are like that.

If PSG just considers this finals to be done and easy, and act way too confident then there is a huge chance that they will end up with a loss, because Arsenal will make them pay. So PSG needs to go out there, act as if they are going to face the toughest team in the world and then do as good as they possibly could, otherwise it will not be a good result for them at all, it will end very badly for them.

[M47AK16]

Both clubs know what's ahead of them, so they should have their plans for it in such a way that will not affect them. Although I do not see much rest for PSG; the club has been actively involved in games too, just like any clubs in the Europe, aside from the resting they demanded last month, which led to the postponement of their match against Lens. This is even a brought forward stress for them, and the match has been played already.

As for Arsenal, the Champion League is not sure for them, but for the EPL, they will highly likely lift it. I only hope they continue to be serious the way they've been playing a few weeks back, not minding just a goal. They should know that any mistake could be costly at this point, especially against Crystal Palace that likes to spoil joys.

Almost everyone believes Arsenal isn't good enough to play PSG and win them in the finals because we have seen the best of PSG in the semifinals first leg against Bayern. Arsenal attack isn't as strong as PSG and their defense wouldn't be able to stop PSG from netting the post.

The defense is something I disagree with. Yes it is clear that Arsenal does not have great attacking and that means that it will be very tough for Arsenal to score on PSG, but that doesn't mean that Arsenal also has bad defense. Just for a mere moment think of it like this, if arsenal has bad offense and bad defense then how the hell did they reached first place in premier league and finals at UCL? Of course they wouldn't, and mainly that is because they have an incredible defense compared to other teams.

PSG must be very careful and must not make wrong choices because this year Arsenal is really determined to go all the way and win the Champions League too, after all they have always been one of the favorites from the beginning, this is just the right ending for a team that has been one of the strongest so far.

PSG is not capable of managing success and their only outlet is to always win. They are addicted to victory and when they have the possibility of victory in front of them, they don't let it slip away. Arsenal must be very careful, but if PSG can be guilty of arrogance, Arsenal could make them pay.

I just heard that PSG are open to selling Bradley Barcola. Honestly, what are PSG even thinking?

It’s obvious that Barcola has been giving a lot to the team and he’s become one of the most reliable players in the squad. That’s why it feels surprising to see PSG, a club known for having huge financial power in Ligue 1, getting tempted just because of a big offer. Personally, I think it’s kinda ridiculous.

PSG's attack is very strong. They have the ability to score a lot of goals  because of the good understanding between the players. On the other hand, Arsenal's attack is a bit weak. But arsenal's defense is very strong. And that's why PSG will be under a lot of pressure in the match. I am looking forward to seeing Luis enrique's match strategy. Enrique is a very  experienced and clever coach. Since  the beginning of the season, we can see that he is very  serious about the champions league this season as well. He will not want to lose the chance of winning two champions leagues in a row.

PS G must make sure not to be carried away by the hype or allowed pressure or fear to set in as a result of the confidence Arsenal may display from now on ward, if they must  defend  the title as the most recent champions, then they will have to see that everthing is under control till the game is over, because it is not over untill it is.

It will be very difficult for PSG because right now Arsenal has built a very strong confidence for themselves because they have won their league title already so the champions League final will be a very difficult one for both teams and the more determine and strong team will be the one to win and I don't see PSG winning the final because Arsenal has a very good defense and also very good attack so it will be very difficult for PSG to break into the defense of Arsenal and score, Arsenal has been doing very well throughout the champions League they have been on beating and that should tell us something.

As for Ligue 1 PSG will win it as usual.

[Lannakosa]

The day after tomorrow, Lens will play the final against Nice. And I think this is a great opportunity for Lens to end the season on a high note, because after failing to win Ligue 1, they still have the Cup final left. In my opinion, they should be able to beat Nice, who are currently involved in the Ligue 1 relegation playoff battle. Those matches against Saint-Étienne will probably be much more important for them than the Cup final itself.

Besides that, it seems to me that Lens are currently in much better form, and they should be defeating Nice.

[Callido]

I just heard that PSG are open to selling Bradley Barcola. Honestly, what are PSG even thinking?

You can't judge a clubs action when it comes to selling players, moreover they have very good wingers that can fill up the space if he leaves. In as much Barcola is a good player, with a good market value, it is not bad for them to make sells and go for another player that could energize the team, my concern is to see which winger will be joining the team next season or players that will help them compete for the Champions League again.

Lyon is a team that is very modest underneath and despite everything deserves a place in the Champions League, this is necessary to return to being a competitive team, it is not easy when you have to keep up with teams like PSG who are used to always winning everything, but they can do it.

Honestly, I expect Paris Saint-Germain to win the French league again next year. Olympique Lyon or any other French team can't compete with Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain will easily win again next year. The French league is no longer a difficult place for them. Their main goal has become winning the Champions League.

Lyon is one of the renowned clubs in ligue 1. But their performance has been weak for the past  few seasons. In Ligue 1, there is no other club except PSG that can  maintain a somewhat stable performance every season. This season , Lens was in second place in the table. I strongly believe that we will not see lens in the top 3  next season. Last season, Marseille and monaco were in second and third place in the table. These two teams are not even in the top  4 this season. The important thing is that ligue 1 clubs do not form strong squads, nor do they have experienced managers. That is why no other club except psg can maintain  consistency.

PSG's consistent performance is undoubtedly due to its financial resources. The club has become one of the teams in the world that makes the most transfers and possesses the highest quality players. Currently, they have a very versatile squad, and several different combinations can be formed with these players. When Paris Saint-Germain uses this advantage in a balanced way in the league and the Champions League, the possibility of winning two championships constantly emerges.

The top three clubs will qualify directly for the Champions League, while Lyon will try to qualify through the qualifiers. In general, Lyon weren't that bad, they were only a point behind third place, but the fact that in the last round, in a home game, they lost so badly to Lens, which had no tournament goals, is surprising. In general, French clubs (except PSG) in any case have a micro chance of success in the Champions League, perhaps, if we talk about titles, it is more profitable to fight for the Europa League.

Well when you are ten times bigger than every other team, getting the league title is not something to celebrate but more like it's something that should be happening. It is not a source of joy, because if other teams won, they would be happy, but if you win, that is expected and what should be happening, so there is n joy in doing it.

Do you wake up everyday, and realize that you are able to walk, and filled with joy, even if there are many shits along the day, still stay happy because there are people out there who can't walk and you can walk? Of course one day you may lose it, but today you can, but that does not create joy for you, you still hate your job, the traffic, the prices of things, we still complain. PSG is like that, sure they should be happy, but they are not, because for them, it's a given that they win the title.
