today there are several matches and I have determined predictions beforehand but maybe explaining too long.
maybe after the match is finished I will give some reasons and I will edit.

what is certain is that in this match PSG should have won 1 win first to be able to inaugurate the League 1 title in this match because the opponent they faced was only a weak opponent like Lorient.
and also a very interesting match will occur in the Monaco vs Lille competition, which currently both want to get the runner up position.
do you think that in today's match Monaco will be able to maintain its position so as not to lose this match?

Lorient vs Paris Saint Germain

Lorient StartXI: 3-4-2-1

Lorient are in their bad form and i don't see any victory coming there way, assuming they are it is not against PSG i will say maybe they can the losing era, i don't think Lorient can break through this PSG squad.

Not only the goalkeeper, but most of the players from the Lorient team have not been able to perform well throughout this season so I am not surprised to see that Lorient is still in the relegation zone at the moment. And it is also normal for you to choose PSG in your bet because this team is at the top of the standings and will not be able to be beaten by the home team Lorient in the match which will be played soon. So I think that today's match for them is a match that will allow PSG to score more goals.

Personally, I have assumptions and speculation that Paris saint-Germain will play Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. this is just an assumption, it does not determine what is actually true. In fact, it is not certain that PSG will be able to win the semifinal match against Dortmund, as will the other match, namely Bayern vs Madrid. we will find out, after the Champions League semifinals are held. both in the first leg, as well as in the second leg. as you said, the best and luckiest team will collect three points both in the first meeting and in the second meeting until 4 of the 2 teams go to the Champions League Final match.

Talking about Paris Saint-Germain, in fact for me Luis Enrique's squad cannot be said to be strong, solid and one of the elite teams in the Champions League at the moment. however, the fact is that Enrique was able to take it this far until the semifinal stage. For me, it has been an extraordinary achievement for the coach and his team.
On the other hand, PSG's game is slowly starting to develop more frequently in the matches they play. When playing against Barcelona, ​​apart from being lucky because Cancelo was given a red card, Paris Saint-Germain actually played competitively and energetically to look for gaps and try to reveal Barcelona's weaknesses on various sides. which in the end Cancelo made a mistake. and yeah, Paris Saint-Germain has the right to qualify for the semifinals against Dortmund. my estimation, Paris Saint-Germain can do a good job in the semifinal match. But to be sure, we will find out after the battle between these two teams is held.

Marseille vs Nice

Marseille apparently will facing tight schedules in Ligue 1 because within a week they will fight against 2 big teams and the first one is Nice and i know Marseille has successfully to advances to the semifinal matches of Europa League but apparently that result is not make them performing well in Ligue 1 even since last month Marseille still unable to gets the winning results and this makes their chances to playing at European Competitions for next season will be very hard

Even so with Nice because in the beginning of season Nice was performing well but unfortunately they were unable to managed their consistency and now Nice position was out from top 3 but recently Nice has been showing good progress because in the last 4 matches in Ligue 1 Nice only lost once and gets 2 wins even the latest is Nice was able to win with big scores 3-0 from Lorient

For Nice squad i can see all of their main players in the good fitness because the players just like Terem Moffi and Evann Guessand will be available to play and for Marseille they were facing unfavourable conditions because at least 6 players from Marseille will be absense and regarding the outcomes of this match i think considering the recent performance and team conditions from Nice is much better than Marseille then potentially Nice can able to beat Marseille and Nice win has high odds to bet @3.20 or other option just like under 2.5 goals seems good to be considering

Even though your optimism in seeing PSG being superior in this match seems very joking because we don't know that both of them are equally strong from a mental perspective, Dortmund has greater experience than PSG, maybe if PSG is able to enter the Champions League Final and that is their first opportunity to play in the Champions League Final, the rest of them always fail, but this is different from Dortmund, which has always been a candidate for several seasons to enter the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals, so we can see some of the experiences that Dortmund has while playing in the Champions League, which is certainly better than PSG...

So at least in this match PSG can be more careful with Dortmund because they could give a surprise in this semi-final match, if they don't want to miss out on playing in the final if they are able to win this match...

This is all because the players still have high enthusiasm to win the title this season and especially that they will soon be holding Ligue One. There are no problems that make the PSG squad feel like they have to lower their strategy and Luis Enrique seems to want consistency among his players regardless of the competition. This is very important so that their concentration is not broken and at the same time it can strengthen team collaboration in the field.

Regarding the match against Lorient later, of course PSG will still be aiming for 3 points even though their schedule is so busy. Even after facing Lorient, in 3 days they will face Le Havre. However, they must immediately start Ligue One this season so they can focus more on the Champions League against Dortmund which will take place on May 2.

I'm not sure Lorient will provide a difficult match for PSG, maybe PSG will face difficulties if Luis Enrique decides to rotate players, but still Lorient cannot be underestimated because the last meeting Lorient managed to hold PSG to a draw, but you know today's match could be will ensure the Ligue 1 title for PSG, if PSG wins and Monaco loses or only gets one point against Lille because no team can catch PSG's points, so it could be that Enrique play the full strength of his team because he sees the opportunity for Monaco to lose or draw wide open.

Beating Lille is not an easy thing for Monaco. In the last three meetings, Monaco failed to win, and Lille, who have the opportunity to overtake Brest, will certainly not waste this opportunity, a draw is enough for Lille to be in third place in the standings because they are better in terms of goal difference than Brest, and this match will be quite difficult to predict with the strength of both teams being the same, and my prediction is that it will end in a draw.

I agree with you that all the clubs that qualifies to the champions League are the best among their local league because is not easy to qualify for champions League because of the competition involves so it takes a strong and consistent club to be able to qualify, however in terms of PSG the luck I would say they have is that they have grown so strong that there is no any other club that has the kind of performance they did and so is always certain for them every season of qualifying to champions League because they don't have a serious rival.

However like I already mentioned their is a big difference between French league 1, Italian Series A and premier League because the clubs and there performances are very different and I consider premier League to be one of the toughest league among them because in premier League there are so many competitors that has almost the same performances so knowing the exact club that can lift the trophy is difficult but in terms of French league is always certain for  PSG, which is why is always easy for PSG to qualify for the champions League.

Lorient vs PSG two team match will start in very short time today in French Soccer League. Looking forward to see the match of these two teams. PSG team is at 1st position in the points table for which I will bet in favor of PSG team in today's match. On the other hand there is no such thing in Lorient team.  There are no good players. Lorient team can't play very well in today's match because the goalkeeper of Lorient team is very weak. In the previous matches, the goalkeeper of Lorient team performed poorly.

Lorient will be the next opponent for PSG and as you said of course the match will not potentially make PSG lose points later, currently PSG are at the top of the table while Lorient is still in the 17th relegation zone at the moment, so we can compare the strength and also the performance of the two teams that are very different at this time,  Although Lorient will play at home but still there is no chance for us to see Lorient can beat PSG in the match although most likely PSG will play their reserve squad in the match later, currently PSG is in quite good form and even in high motivation after successfully eliminating Barcelona in the Champions League, besides of course PSG will still aim for victory in order to be able to win the Ligue 1 title sooner this season.

Against Nice will be a match that we can say as an opportunity for Marseille to be able to rise to a better ranking, a victory from Nice can at least return Marseille to rank 7 later, Marseille's performance is not very good in Ligue 1 at this time but in the European League they are quite surprising we can enter the semi-finals to play Atlanta in the next match,  Against Nice is certainly not an easy match for Marseille but it looks like Marseille will be able to at least get 1 point in the match later.

Paris St Germain have a positive momentum both in the league and in the Champions League. PSG's wins against Barcelona and then against Lyon with different scores reinforced the positive atmosphere in the team. I thought PSG would come back tired from the Champions League and might have a setback against Lyon, but PSG had a comfortable win against Lyon. I don't observe any Champions League fatigue and I think PSG can achieve results in Lorient match by increasing the pressure and tempo in some parts of the game. Lorient will also play looking for wide areas for points or points. I predict that PSG will make good use of these areas and score 3 or more goals again and get a comfortable win. PSG will continue on its way without loss.

We can see an unprecedented change in PSG's overall performance even after changing coaches. PSG's squad is not very strong this season, if we compare it to the past few seasons. Even so, PSG team is performing well with the help of Luis Enrique. PSG qualified for the Champions League semi-finals after beating Barcelona.

PSG will face Dortmund in the semi-finals. I consider PSG as the favorite against Dortmund. PSG are in better form than Dortmund at the moment. Luis Enrique will make no mistake in this match. He will take all necessary measures to defeat the Dortmund team. PSG vs Real Madrid is now the most likely to qualify for the final.

I agree there's a big difference between Ligue 1 to Serie A and Premier League. But why Mbappe's is the highest top scorer in Champions League? where are Haaland and Osimhen? they're not even in top three positions.

If you say PSG is lucky because their opponents are easier than Napoli and Manchester City, it's just an excuse because every teams who can qualify to Champions League is best of the best teams.

I'm hoping to watch Real Madrid vs Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final this season, an expectation mut be reached as usual. Paris Saint-Germain have been patient and consistent for their first UEFA Champions League trophy, they keep trying every season but always end up on been eliminated by their rivals. This season, Paris Saint-Germain made it the UCL semifinal and they will face Borrusia Dortmund, not going to be an easy fight but the best team will accumulate three solid points and come out stronger to play the UCL final.

You're right right now as PSG face Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals they need to be more relaxed and tough. France currently in Ligue 1, I don't think they will be overrated but they are at the top of the points table in this league. They currently have AS Monaco to compete with but their points are very low, they will have to work hard to catch PSG. will not be possible, However, the focus will be on the Champions League this season because PSG know they will never beat Dortmund if they don't focus on their Champions League this season. Dortmund will definitely try to do well in the Champions League to reach the final, so PSG will have to work harder to win against the opposition. And I think PSG's coach Luis Enrique will make his boys work hard enough and try endlessly to reach the Champions League final and succeed.

Winning the Champions League is a big goal for every team, and the team whose players perform best in this league will be the only champions. Since this is the semi-final stage, there is a possibility that PSG might win against Dortmund, but the next stage will be tougher. The Champions League is the toughest place compared to other leagues where every team has to work hard, Much more difficult than all other league. If PSG can win against Dortmund in the semi-final match, they will face a stronger team in the next stage, where they will be more excited and tougher. And winning the Champions League is a matter of luck, if PSG can enter the final match, they must improve their game more because they have to keep in mind that this is the Champions League.

Most likely PSG will try to play more relaxed so they can focus more on playing in the Champions League. Facing a team that is in the relegation zone should make it much easier for PSG to win, but PSG also cannot underestimate them because they will definitely try to fight to get much better results. For this match, I also have the same thoughts as you because the opponent face is much easier and PSG won't have that much difficulty.

The Champions League is a big target that PSG wants to achieve, now there are only a few steps left to make it happen. The competition will be much more difficult because they have to face teams that are much more balanced even though people think PSG's chances are much greater than Dortmund, but they cannot think it is easy because the Champions League is different from other leagues.

I know Real Madrid have a convincing record every time they get to the final, but PSG cannot be underestimated if they get to the final. There is a burning passion from the PSG squad to win its first Champions League title, so I don't think PSG's chances of winning the title are close to 0.

PSG is a strong team with many great players, while Real Madrid is the same. Even though Real Madrid is the favorite to win the title, PSG cannot be underestimated like that. PSG has the possibility to win the title if they qualify for the final, but first I will just focus on how the two teams plan their game in the semi-finals against Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

The creation of Financial Fair Play by UEFA was a welcome development as it aimed to help clubs be able to build stability in their squad depth and not incurring debt. Incurring debt in any business could lead to closure of the business this is one thing the financial fair play is trying to fight.

 ⁠The FFP helps to create a level playing field for clubs based on their financial strengths and also sporting merits as clubs with great financial strength can be able to acquire players more like a club with less financial capacity. Looking at PSG, you’ll understand how possible it is for them to be able to get any player they want to aquire in the club.

 ⁠PSG will have just issues trying to convince the players to want to sign for them especially when the players are already being tied down with some long contracts. Some players with those long contracts will not want to leave for anyhow fee and as such the issue of FFP then comes into sight and you can begin to wonder how the club will be able to sign players to build it’s team.The step of them already getting the names of the players they want is a step in the right direction and it will help them in building up the processes no matter how long it takes. Proper planning will help them be able to avoid FFP challenges

Exactly this match won't be difficult or even any hard for PSG.
There will be several follow-up matches held by the French League tomorrow. One of them is PSG against Lorient. From this match, PSG should not experience any difficulties, not even the slightest. After looking at the track record of their opposing club, PSG should have won by a landslide and not even let Lorient score a single goal. Are they biased? because so far, Lorient has really experienced quite high difficulties against other clubs too. So PSG won't have a difficult match, that's all, it's not meant to be underestimated.

In the other hand, Marseille vs Nice may be quite interesting. Marseille is not a top club, but they are able to compete very well in UEFA Europe League. So, this will be quite tough match to Nice. In fact, both Nice and Marseille are looking at a pretty bad few weeks. Especially Marseille, it's really bad to see their track record in the last 5 matches. That's really bad. So, in this match, they have to work very optimally.
