French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ginsan]

the first round of Brest vs PSG has ended with a 1-1 draw. PSG was able to take an early lead through Soler but Brest were able to equalize quickly in the 43rd minute through Honorat.  From the PSG formation, I saw Galtier installing 4-2-2-2. This is quite a strange formation, and I was surprised to see what Galtier was doing. I think he has a target that is strong enough to win this match after PSG were previously knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Let's wait for the second half to start. I think this match is likely to be won by PSG because they were able to play pretty well in the first half. lionel messi and mbappe had quite good chances to score in the first half but they failed to finish well, I think they will make the most of the second half as best they can.

Auxerre drew against Rennes. In fact, even a point is important for them. If they want to stay in the league they will need points, especially from home games. Rennes, on the other hand, maintained their 5th place with this draw.This actually helped Lille a little bit.Lille lost 2 points in the match that ended in a 3-3 draw yesterday.Now that Rennes also drew, things are exactly the same again.
In the match that is going on now, PSG are 1-0 ahead.PSG are playing well in Brest away and will probably pass here without a loss.

Auxerre recent form is amazing as they were able to hold Rennes for the goalless draw which give them one crucial point and place out of danger zone for one day because if tomorrow we have AC Ajaccio won against Montpellier then surely we will have changes in league table but right now things looking good for the Auxerre after this result in last five games they are having nine points which is surely good stuff for them and their hopes for having another season in Ligue1 situation in league is surely good as few teams are having good change in performance which is surely helping them for having better spots in league table and also for staying into this league for another season even right now all are just predictions with we can expect changes which are surely going to have big impact in coming weeks as well.

psg is a shitty team, I'm watching this game and honestly they're playing it looks like they're on a school field, childish plays, you have no idea what they're doing, honestly it just shows that PSG has no coach and doesn't have players on the field, this PSG is shit, I can't understand why they haven't fired the coach yet and they still aren't changing many players who are not contributing anything to the team, it's clear that PSG is worse than the old coach's time. this bad formation, this bad strategy prevents messi from playing well, they should have fired that coach a long time ago

The problem is not in the coach, but in the fact that just in order for PSG to stop being crappy, a lot of people need to be kicked out of there, including Messi. Messi is already just old and he is enough for a maximum of half  (this is taking into account the fact that yмyт in his youth he moved less than average around the field).
I see no reason to make claims against the coach when there are so many stars "in a special position" in the team who have more weight and power than he does. PSG need to hire Ten Hag for a couple of weeks in order to disperse the ballast  and give the team a chance to move forward.

Another tough win for psg team, they had to wait until the last minutes of the game to score the winning goal against brest, another disapointing performance from psg, this confirms why they were eliminated from the champions league, brest team was so close from getting a valuable point in today game that could've help them avoid relegation but mbappe last minute goal was unfortunate for them.

Aside the fact that they were able to draw today match, I quest Auxerre has lost for too much. They couldn't afford to lose against Rennes. It will be such a big mess for a team who is still  struggling to leave the relegation zone. But Rennes in their own way has shown weakness.  Though the season is getting tougher as its end approaches, they are some matches a team like Rennes isn't expected to lose and the fixture against Auxerre is one of them.

PSG are still lucky Mbappe can score a goal in last minutes, if not then it will exacerbate of their situation PSG squad and especially the coach.

Guys ! Tomorrow Marseille will against Strasbourg, and Marseille needs full points to at least stay away from Monaco and Lens which at any time could threaten the comfort of Marseille position in second place. They should be able to get a win comfortably at home, because also starsbourg not in a good performance to steal points. What do you think guys, can Marseille win that match?

You are right that PSG have turned into a really bad team. I enjoyed this game too I saw them perform very badly. They are not performing well at all. A club like PSG has the most stars. The best star in the world is in PSG, so PSG is not playing well at all. But right now a big change has to be made in PSG which can bring good results for the change. I have failed many times betting on PSG games. I don't want to bet on this psg. A team so good where the best players in the world perform the worst. Indeed it is becoming shameful.

PSG were lucky to win that game and get the 3 points. The second goal was scored at the end of the game by their saviour Mbappe as usual. I don't know how could PSG perform in the future without Mbappe and eventually Messi...
Lille 3 - 3 Lyon seemed to be an interesting game with a lot of goals. Lens, Monaco and Marseille games don't seem to be very challenging and the gap between them might return as the previous round.

PSG don't need more titles in Ligue 1 and they consider it as automated title for them in each season. What they actually want is Champions League, a first title there but both Neymar, Messi and Mbappe failed to bring them to success. At least they have failed in many seasons including this one. After having Messi, in the past two seasons PSG were knocked out at round of 1/8, that is bad. Previously, they had one semi final and one final and last two seasons, they did have decreasing performance in Champions League.

I think they can let Messi and Neymar leave and build up their club around Mbappe with more attacking players who are readily to run and contribute for midfield and defense systems. They must have a more balancing team to win Champions League and these three super star attacking players don't provide it.

A Messi - Mbappe cooperation happened so late in the game that PSG were nearly losing points against Brest today. After being eliminated in the Champions League the players must be really unhappy. Because they said goodbye to the most important tournament for them so early. Now they just have to focus on the Ligue 1 championship. They don't have anything else left in their hands.

In the summer I will be curious about what actions PSG will take. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Galtier being sacked.

they were out of the cup and the Champions League, Ligue 1 is all they have left now, and they have a pretty good lead over other teams, in my opinion, the season is over for PSG, they just have to play the rest of the matches and get it over with, Mbappe probably won't take it easy because he still fighting to be the goalscorer of the league.

Despite failing to keep a clean sheet against Brest, this team's supporters still believe that they can win the Ligue 1 championship. Even though they have struggled to keep a clean sheet against smaller teams, they must be happy with the result after being eliminated from the Champions League. Since they have nothing else left, they must now concentrate all their efforts on Ligue 1. psg scores a lot, but they also concede a lot and that's the problem. This means that the team will have to take necessary step to stay competitive. There is even talk that Galtier might be replaced in the summer, including many others steps.

PSG's performance really annoys me. PSG coach Galtier is still experimenting with the team. In almost every match we see a different formation of PSG. If the formation and match strategy changes so much, it is not possible to get a stable performance from the team. And we are seeing an erratic performance from the PSG team. Winning against Brest was also challenging for PSG. Had Mbappe not scored in the 90th minute, the match would have been a draw.

The Lille vs Lyon match was very competitive and entertaining. Although the teams did not attack much, each of their attacks was excellent. They were able to find out the weak points of the opponent. And so in this match, we got to see 6 goals.

PSG secured yet another Ligue 1 match win to prove their ability to be the best performers in Ligue 1. I think PSG needs to stay calm to secure the Ligue 1 title. Because their departure from the big league like the Champions League is likely.

After losing Neymar because of injured Galtier has decide to using different strategy for each matches lately and i have counted after Neymar unable to play at least Galtier already used 2 different kind of strategies and indeed i have to say it wasn't very effective because PSG looks struggle to win and without Neymar too PSG forward players such as Messi and Mbappe can't cooperate well together and this is also makes them eliminated by Bayern on champion league and against Brest too PSG have to wait until last minutes on the second half to earn 3 points

Galtier has been showed his weaknesses that previously he was rely too much Neymar, Mbappe and Messi for forward lines and if these players in the good shape he was pushed to played them for every matches and now after Neymar got long injured PSG performance looks didn't stable

PSG needs to perform better in my opinion. As the team repeatedly fails to perform as expected, the coach should implement new strategies to see if the team improves.

By eliminating Paris Saint Germain from the Champions League, it will make them focus more on Ligue 1, and it will make other clubs uncomfortable because it is certain that they will appear more dominating than when Paris Saint Germain was still in the Champions League. For the umpteenth time, Paris Saint Germain has failed in this prestigious competition, which they really want to win there, they have even been eyeing it for many seasons. They have done everything they can, including buying many star players, but that has not made it easy for them to be able to realize what they have wanted so far.

A truly disappointing season once again for PSG. I think it's time to change the mindset about star players and start from some very professional players, especially if there are young players from the PSG academy they should be able to be promoted to the main club. But indeed PSG has high standards regarding players and their prestige against other European clubs, they don't want to lose their competitiveness in recruiting star players. For the Ligue 1 title race, it seems that it already belongs to PSG with a considerable distance, I doubt that the rival team can catch it until the season ends.

I think saying that it is truly disappointing is too much of an exaggeration when you play against Bayern Munich in the round of the last 16. The end result would have been the same for both teams. If Bayern lost, the only thing that is remembered is that they lost in the round of the last 16, not against whom they lost. That feels a bit wrong when you have to assess a performance of a team. If the best of the best play against each other early on, one is going home with a big disappointment no matter what.

In this case Bayern was so much better than PSG. I think we can agree on that. PSG needs to approach the idea of becoming successful differently.

Even though losing a game is always a bad thing and can have a negative effect on any team, PSG still lost the game against Bayern Munich, which was not a weak team. However, they spent millions of dollars on their players and hoped to see their team even win the champions league, but still they are in the first round of the league and are the first hopefuls of winning the championship, which is not any worse than what it was for the previous team.

On the one hand you are right that it is not a shame to lose against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but on the other hand there is a reason why they had to play against Bayern Munich so early on in the first place and that is that they didn't win their group stage, but became second behind Benfica Lissabon. They tied both games against Benfica. It was still a bit unlucky because ultimately it came down to which team scored more goals away as everything else was equal between the two teams.

Now only Ligue 1 is left and I have a feeling that Mbappe might have had enough of PSG. The only thing that can keep him in Paris is money as that is what it's all about for Mbappe or otherwise he wouldn't be playing for PSG. Usually such a player should play for a great traditional soccer club.

PSG went through a difficult moment last night in their match against Brest, PSG opened the goal scoring of this encounter unfortunately Brest equalized the goal towards the end of the first half of the match, in the second half PSG intensified attack but Brest refused to allow PSG shots to be fruitful, it was so frustrating for the French Giants till in the 90th minutes of the match they were able to add a goal that made the scoreline to change to 2:1 in the favour of PSG and as a result of this goal the match was won by them, PSG has to work extensively to rebuild the team so as to get the desired result.

I am no longer worried about PSG's performance. But I am happy that PSG secured 3 points. I am sure that PSG will win the Ligue 1 title. Because they have been eliminated from the Champions League, they will now focus on the Ligue 1 matches. And coach Galtier will want to stabilize his team. PSG is also 11 points ahead of Marseille in the second place in the points table. And this gap will widen in the next few weeks.
