French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

And PSG are the favorites for the UEFA Champions League trophy, Arsenal a competent rival, also stands a chance if they can be truly amazing on that day, the possibility still swings 50/50 for both finalists.

It doesn't help if PSG loses or wins the last match, the Ligue 1 title has already been decided before the last game, it is not worth the risk of playing very intense, let the players prepare themselves for the UCL final and protect themselves against the World Cup.

Right now, no team is the favourite for winning the UEFA Champions league both are having good balance, and both won their respective leagues. This is a good encounter between two teams.

Even some are expecting PSG to easily defend their title, but it's looking wildly challenging. This could be a new era for both Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. Luis Enrique is experienced, this could be helpful for them, but Mikel Arteta is also doing a good job.

This is not only a final, but a war between two champions of their domestic leagues, so you can’t just pick a favourite like that to win the title. We all know that both of them are doing their best. Moreover, this is not the previous season when PSG played against Inter Milan and won with a Cleanshit of 5–0. It will not be an easy game, though. Arteta will take the game more seriously just to prove a point that he could get the two trophies that Arsenal have lacked for decades.

Play-out match between St Etienne and Nice was played yesterday, but it was a very boring game.
Nice drew the first match and gained a slight advantage.
Now the next match will be played on Friday at Nice's home ground.
Nice will win this match and stay in Ligue 1. I didn't see any potential for St Etienne to get promoted to Ligue 1.

It was a very boring and overly cautious match. I think Saint Étienne should have played much more aggressively at home if they expected to beat Nice. I think Nice will have to play much better in the second leg, and if Saint Étienne could not win at home, then I doubt they will be able to do it away. Also, the fact that both teams had zero shots on target during the entire match shows how poor their current form really is.

[Emitdama]

If my betting budget hasn't run out, I wouldn't mind betting on Saint Etienne, consider it a test of luck, because if you consider their performance, Nice is not better at the moment, they are bad in defense, they conceded 60 goals, as a team that last season played great in Ligue 1, in this season they are very chaotic. And why is it worth betting on Saint Etienne, their GF is quite good, 59 the number of goals they can get in Ligue 2, this means more 1.5 goals they score per game. So it is quite possible that they win this match.

If you had the money to throw away and you bet on the draw you made a good move, Nice are a tough team and Saint Etienne need to try harder, but looking at the results despite thinking on paper a different result ended in a boring draw.
As much as i looked at the stats the result was disappointing, boring game not even a glory goal.

Both teams enter with strong defensive strategies. There is no solid attack from any team, just one penalty kick chance, which also ended without anything happening throughout the game. Both were playing boring soccer, with the result that now Nice has a good edge to stay in Ligue 1.

Before the start, a few predictions already indicated a draw, but mostly we were expecting St. Etienne to have good favour they will take the lead and stay with this, but nothing happened, and the match was ended without any goal. Now there are just 2 days left in the 2nd leg game, which is going to be played at Nice's home. This could allow them to have a positive result and start a new journey with new energy.

All man is entitled to his/her opinion anyways, Because despite the fact that Arsenal is quite okay for this season, it's never a reason to think they can face Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Champions League final, like the last time I checked more than 70% of football fans are believing that Paris Saint Germain is the favorite for that title and judging from their performance we don't need a prophet to tell us Paris Saint Germain is winning it, like I'm beating my chest on this Arsenal stand no chance against them unless it's luck, but if we talk of strength Paris Saint Germain is way ahead of them.

Beating your chest that PSG is going to win the league is extreme to me . Even though PSG stands a better chance going into this final this is still a big chance for Arsenal to win the trophy in this final. Remember this is football were anything is possible one can't be too sur if you ask me. Personally speaking am one of the people with the opinions that PSG is going to carry this year's champions League again going by their level of performance that PSG has shown at the course of the season but we can't totally rule out Arsenal in this one.

There will never be a clear favorite for this match. Both Arsenal and PSG are very strong teams. However, it's very difficult to predict which team will play better; I'm sure both teams will prepare very well for this game.

PSG's loss in their last match is irrelevant; they already knew they would finish the league as champions. They are preparing themselves for the Arsenal match. Therefore, it's perfectly normal that the importance of the French league has decreased. They already managed to become champions

Nice should be happy to have secured a scoreless draw in their first away game. In tomorrow’s match, Nice will obviously be the favorite. Looking at the head-to-head history between the two teams, we saw for the first time in a long while that a match ended in a draw as of last week. Nice must win this home game to stay in the league. Saint-Étienne certainly has a chance, but we can say they’ve completely ceded the advantage to Nice.

Since they were able to hold Saint-Étienne to a draw from away, they have a bigger work to do if they need winning in front of their own fans. You don't give them advantage because they will be at home but they can earn it by showing more signs by improving not defending without showing signs of attacks that could give them edge over their opponent. They have the confidence and they should also consider what they would achieve if they manage to win, they should be motivated now to deliver a good performance cause that's the only way to win at home.

PSG already reached "one of the best teams in the world" level, like they could actually be the best team in the world right now, so it is normal for French teams to not have a chance against them. People are talking about ligue 1 like it's some sort of "farmers league" type of thing, but to be fair nobody managed to beat them, and that is why I think it is clear that we are not seeing them do that much of a big deal, it is not really that crazy to do this at all.

We should be focusing on how to handle this, and as long as we can do this, there is nothing to worry about, we could make sure that we are dealing with something that is reaching a lot better period for sure. PSG is doing better than all, so it is normal for them to do better than teams here as well.

PSG has been at the top of the winner's chain in league 1 for seasons, and they have been the best for only two seasons in the champions league obviously this is different, if we count from the last two seasons yes, we can say that, but what about the previous seasons? are we going to say the same thing about this?
As for his performance, I don't doubt it because he's been a great team this season and there's no doubt why his opponents have all lost in league 1 because they're so good now.

Just like you have said, you are really entitled to your own opinion and i cannot dispute your taught, but then that 70% according to your statistics are in support of PSG does not make it a sure outcome to expect because this result are mostly independent of the crowds opinion, the crowd may wish for some one to win and they may end up not and that is just reality.

Unfortunately there are moments that, despite the effort, do not bear fruit, i tell you from direct experience.
You work so hard and it seems like nothing comes of it.
The solution is to never give up, keep fighting even if you get relegated, you'll try next season!

At this point they are already at that level where you can refer to them as one of the best teams  in the world, since Luis Enrique took over as manager of the French side, things have really improved at the club, they have won the UCL and are up for the second consecutive one if only they can defeat Arsenal in this year's finals, if that happens, it means PSG would have cemented their place among the likes of Real Madrid who did a back to back win in the league.

Winning the champions league final is always very difficult. There is no  doubt about it. Because the two best clubs in Europe qualify for the final. Last year we said that winning against Inter milan would not be easy for PSG. Even then, psg  was able to win by a huge margin of 5-0. This season, PSG will face arsenal. Arsenal is one of the strongest clubs in the premier league. Arsenal's defense  is broken, but it is not  impossible. I will rely on Luis Enrique. PSG will probably win the champions league this season too.

Saint-Étienne certainly has a chance, but we can say they’ve completely ceded the advantage to Nice.

Nice were winning very rarely toward the end of the season, and most of the time, if they did manage to win, it was usually in cup matches. In Ligue 1 things were much worse for them. And by the way 0–0 draws for Nice were also quite common. So on one hand, it’s good that they didn’t lose away, but on the other hand, there are doubts about whether they will be able to beat Saint-Étienne at home. Because if it turns into another match like that, everything could end up being decided in a penalty shootout. I still think that Nice should not lose at home.

[jakdanyel]

0-0 in the 1st leg of the relegation/promotion playoffs. I can't say any side stepped forward with their game. There was a cautious game plan from each side.

This result is just making things easier for Nice on paper. Because they are going to be the home side in the 2nd leg. It's up to them to play better to take advantage of it.

I think they won't relegate. The same team finished last season in the 4th place. If they relegate just after that it would be really shocking...

PSG will probably win the champions league this season too.

Both teams are champions in their local leagues, and I would say that the Premier League is the most important league now, which has a very high level. For that reason, things are different now. PSG is very good, they have a great team, but be careful, Arsenal could beat them since they have a mentality totally focused on this competition. PSG has a machine, but Arsenal has really surprised a lot.

[Agathamay]

I'm yet to see any team that will be lining towards competing with Paris Saint Germain for the Ligue One title because none of these teams have proven to be eligible and even competitive, they can only try but can they be consistent in the upcoming seasons liked Paris Saint Germain? Ofcourse NO because they don't have what it takes to reach this phase. This season, it is as Lens, they did their best but it wasn't just good enough to maintain up to the level of PSG this season.

Luis Enrique is looking forward to make the club an ultimate one that wouldn't be looking scare or frighten by oppositions, he aimed to become very advanced and confident within his players because he certainly know his team is going to deliver a master class, that's what they needs to stay at the top.

Everyone has his own reasons, but I have something telling me that Arsenal will win this trophy. In the previous season, I never expected Inter Milan to do anything tangible, even though we all saw how they played against Barcelona in the semifinals. But still, they were not able to bring that effort into the final, which I don’t think will be the case for Arsenal. Because Arsenal has a revenge, as they were been knocked out by the same PSG in the semifinal last season champions league.

Arsenal will play a calm and defensive game, especially if they score first in the game. But let’s wait and see what will happen in the match.
