Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Yeah I know how boring it is to see PSG leading the standings unbeaten by a big point gap. 
But it is what it is. I don't expect more than that considering the huge difference between them and the rest of the teams.
At least I can say I enjoyed Marseille and Monaco's performances a lot! 5 goals from the former and 7 goals from the latter... It must be the most productive week of the season for both of them.
But Monaco don't own the 3rd position anymore. Nice are doing a nice work recently by getting in between those 2 teams.
Considering Nice and Monaco have similar statistics, it is quite hard to predict which will be the one earning a ticket for the Champions League league phase.
Marseille and AS Monaco both picked up big wins this week, which saw their overall goal output increase dramatically. Meanwhile, PSG only managed a narrow win. It seems Luis Enrique wanted to conserve his players energy for the second leg of the play off against Brest. Although the season is still very long, it seems many agree that PSG are the strong favorites to win Ligue 1 this season. On the other hand, the competition for Champions League tickets is still difficult to predict. Several teams have equal opportunities, although Marseille seems to have a slight advantage over other teams currently in the European zone. In my opinion, the race for the other Champions League ticket will involve Nice, AS Monaco, Lille and Lyon, as the four clubs have a small point difference. But it is what it is.
