Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
True, they are favorites just because they play home but in terms of performance and strength of the team they are balanced and the results we get actually I think it's a bit of a betrayal of the odds 
Jeremie Boga's goal at 90+1 really decided the game and Monaco were handed their first defeat of the season at home (Louis II Stadium).
The match was as balanced as you'd expect but looking at the chances created Nice were actually more dominant and indeed the 3 points they got in this match were very good in my opinion for their confidence.
They play home and lost by a single goal at the end of the game. Not bad after all if we consider the 2 penalties that Monaco missed them by the same player Balogun..Jeremie Boga's goal at 90+1 really decided the game and Monaco were handed their first defeat of the season at home (Louis II Stadium).

Now Nice are sitting in the first place in Ligue 1. Next game is easy for Nice since they will face Brest but it will be hard for Monaco since their rival is Marseille!
Otherwise this Sunday PSG will fight for 3 points vs Marseille. I think odds are overestimating PSG performance.
