French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[X-ray]

PSG changed their coach this season. But the new coach Galtier could not improve the team. Rather, the team's performance has further deteriorated. Despite having a lot of star players on the team, PSG's performance has been disappointing. PSG's match strategy is not good. Galtier also experimented with changing PSG's formation in various important matches. As a result, PSG lost points in several matches. We may not see Galtier as PSG coach next season. As PSG wants to win the Champions League, they need a more experienced coach.

PSG has not changed its coach nor has the intention to change him. Despite the bad result that was achieved by PSG when it was against rennes and there's no further information regarding what's gonna be the future of galtier in PSG. Some media might have rumored if galtier potentially to be sacked by PSG but the fact that if PSG is still sitting at the first position in the french league. I think that just because it was performing bad against rennes will make PSG be sacked.

Im thinking about galtier may have prepared something for the next season. As you can see PSG may lose some star players and that will be greatly affecting the performance of the club. Galtier signed by PSG july last year.

I see no reason to sack or replace him with new coach. PSG may give him another season to be tried. Galtier is not even worrying about his future in PSG. It's not even reached 1 season since he was become a coach of PSG.
I may ignore any rumors related to him to be sacked by PSG

Paris Saint Germain are surely gonna win the league at the end of the season. Their major disappointment this season is their failure to win the Champions League and that would want to work on that by next season probably with a better manager than their current manager

As PSG wants to win the Champions League, they need a more experienced coach.

In my opinion, rather than say their performance has decreased, I prefer to say that there has been no change.
Their positions as well as their achievements up until now could be said to be the same when currently the Galtier Era and the Poche Era were nothing to excel at.

PSG still lacks spirit in football and I think as long as they are still with a coach who can be said to be "ordinary" I don't think the conditions will change much because the conditions will still be the same even if the renewal of great players continues.

As soon as Galtier came to the team, the results of PSG were much better, but it was not his merit, I'm sure we saw the results of Pochattino's work. But gradually the results worsened, I agree, there were more conflicts in the team, in general, I would say that Galte could not control good discipline in the team, and for PSG this is very important. All he can achieve this season is to win Ligue 1, but for PSG this result can be considered bad.

@Kro55 the head coach of PSG will definitely be sacked once the season ends, because not only did PSG exit the champions league but on and off the pitch also it’s clear to see that he’s failed to unite the player’s hence his sacking is inevitable. Lastly for the next season I feel that PSG should hire a more experienced coach, and trim down their star player’s squad and retain only those that actually want to play for PSG and not be there for just collecting large sum of money.

Maybe coaches are a problem for Paris Saint-Germain right now, I want to see how if they had a better coach would they be able to become a very scary team especially in the Champions League. Why do I say in the Champions league, because in Ligue 1 they are already superior even in these circumstances. I can't say they are good in Ligue 1 because the opponents here are unbalanced.

Since PSG still failure in Champion League there are not guarantee with their position keep existing as PSG manager, have been changed with several manger after failure in Champion League and Thomas Tuchel success bring PSG to final stage but he can't give champion league tittle. No matter with how many time winning Ligue 1 trophy or French Cup if PSG still failure in Champion League can't guarantee about the manager career ended until their contract expiry.

Next speculation if Christophe Galtier sacked who will replace his position? so far still not have rumor about new manager position filling place from Christophe Galtier.

PSG failed in Champions League that is a big minus for Galtier to keep his job. Worse than that, PSG did have a few months of bad performance after World Cup 2022 that raised fear that they could even lose Ligue 1 in this season. Things are improving gradually and becoming better lately but that impression is bad for Galtier chance to be kept by PSG.

Even if PSG actually well dominate Ligue 1, it's already hard for Galtier to be kept but in fact he failed to do that so it's nearly impossible for him to continue working for PSG in a next season. If PSG spend more money to buy new star players in the summer, they will not want to bet another season with Galiter.

Next speculation if Christophe Galtier sacked who will replace his position? so far still not have rumor about new manager position filling place from Christophe Galtier.

Carlo Ancelotti is in my mind because he and Real Madrid have bad season in La Liga but his management capability is very great. It's only a matter of Carlo that will he retire after leaving Real Madrid or will accept to take a new job at another big club.

the head coach of PSG will definitely be sacked once the season ends, because not only did PSG exit the champions league but on and off the pitch also it’s clear to see that he’s failed to unite the player’s hence his sacking is inevitable.

I agree that Galtier will fail to convince PSG owner to continue using him in a next season even they will have to pay compensation fee for Galtier to sack him and find a new coach for PSG.

They are rich and don't have patience for their coaches especially they already realized that Galtier did not have enough experience in Champions League.

Yes, the problem at PSG at the moment is the coach. I don't think Galtier deserves to be in charge of a team like PSG which has a lot of star players and also has big targets in Europe. Apart from the coach, PSG officials must also evaluate all managerial aspects because failing to target winning the champions league and bad management of the team will be a very big loss for PSG.

In my opinion, the right person to coach PSG is someone who has a brilliant career history in football and also in coaching like Zidane.

Monaco are still trying to stand their ground about joining the Champions League once again. They are very close to Lens and I can't say that the point gap with Marseille is too high either.

Monaco's problem in the recent times has been with their form. They were quite vulnerable in defense for a couple of weeks and this caused them to lose points three weeks in a row. Finally they were able to react to this bad form by a win over Ajaccio last week. Their next game is a home one against Strasbourg. Technically Monaco are the favourite side but still they need to watch out for offensive threats of their competitor. Because Strasbourg started to get a little better results lately and they are climbing slowly. Monaco should be winning this game to maintain a winning streak.

Reims have had good conditions in the last few games, it's just that Marseille are clearly better than them.
The match here was also quite interesting because Reims did score the first goal, it's just that Brace Alexis with a beautiful freekick and good use of momentum from a clear long cross made them unable to continue Reims' positive trend which was very good in the last few matches they played. .

Marseille won the game and their Chilean player Alexis Sánchez performed very well because he scored both goals for Marseille while he is 34 and far from his young days but this player is shining at this age, he scored 12 goals for his team so far. The interesting thing is currently Marseille needs only seven points to reach PSG even with all the stars PSG has with the money they spent for them.

In terms of spending it is huge but in this case the conditions are the same I think when talking about the opportunities from Marseille and PSG. This is still not comparable even though PSG is still having a little trouble in making domination in Ligue 1.
7 points remain a big wall and even very difficult to reach even though Marseille continues to play well.

Moreover, there is no competition other than the French 1 League which is played by Paris Saint Germain, which will make Christophe Galtier's club continue to try not to be eliminate and defend the title.
I would say there is no chance for Marseille to win the French 1 League title, because they are increasingly cornered by Lens or Monaco who are ambitious enough to play in the UCL next season.

Monaco has a distance of 3 points from Lens, I think that is still being chased by Monaco as long as they can continue to be consistent to win. It's true that lately Monaco has been performing very poorly which made them have to lose a lot of points in the previous game and against Ajaccio last week at least made them more enthusiastic about playing the next match later.

I think coach Philippe Clement must be able to coordinate his players to be more compact on the field so as to bring victory closer. But apart from that, maybe the cooperation between the attack lines and the midfield must be even more compact so that every opportunity can be a goal. I think as long as they have that they will have no trouble against Strasbourg later and at least a narrow win will secure an additional 3 points.

All he can achieve this season is to win Ligue 1, but for PSG this result can be considered bad.

At the start of the season, Galtier was able to bring PSG to progress smoothly even though it was decorated with rumors of disputes between players in the locker room. in the second half of this season, PSG's pace began to decline after the world cup was over. several players were injured, plus the absence of Messi. since then, PSG's performance has gone up and down, exacerbated by Mbappe's injury. unfortunately, Neymar also had problems with his ankle which required him to be absent for a long time. as a result, PSG's front line was not as sharp as when their three star players played as the main starters. which in the end, PSG were derailed in the last 16 of the Champions League by Bayern Munich.

On the other hand, PSG does not have a midfielder who is creative when it comes to helping the front lines when building attacks, it is not uncommon for PSG to show bad games. plus, the system that Galtier employs is very complicated. not infrequently, Galtier always tweaked the formation and rotated his players.

IMO, I suspect, the factors that affect PSG's unstable performance are due to the system implemented by the coach, so that the players have difficulty following what they want. as a result, Galtier failed to bring PSG to win the Champions League trophy. even so, Galtier still has the chance to lead his team to win the Ligue 1 trophy. but after that, it is likely that Galtier's career with PSG will end only until this season.

Because Strasbourg started to get a little better results lately and they are climbing slowly. Monaco should be winning this game to maintain a winning streak.

There is no doubt that AS Monaco will win their match against Strasbourg, they have some positive points such as playing at home, their condition as a stronger team, and also their mission to be in the top 2 in order to play in the UCL for next season. Even so, they shouldn't underestimate Strasbourg, because basically they don't have a good enough record in terms of dominance in the history of their meetings.

I would clearly doubt that there is no doubt!

Monaco isn't playing against a team that is in the middle of nowhere in the table. Strasbourg has a lot to lose and even when a team's standing in the table is bad, you would rather play against a team that has neither anything to lose nor to win. This is not the case. Strasbourg will go all out. By the way Monaco also couldn't win against Troyes, which is ranked 18th and they even were one goal down until the 80th minute.

Auxerre, who had surprised in several previous matches, they had to swallow their first defeat in the last 5 matches and Strasbourg was the team that managed to beat Auxerre. Broadly speaking, Auxerre was able to hold off to a draw with several strong teams who were in 10th position in the standings and above, but it looks like their achievements must stop and their chances of getting away from the relegation zone must be delayed because of this defeat.

Yes it is and also, it looks difficult for teams who are in the relegation zone in Ligue 1 to be able to avoid it. Because after all, Ligue 1 has four teams that will be relegated, and that's different from other leagues which only have three teams that will be relegated. So, with so many quotas for the relegation zone, then of course this makes it difficult for teams that are ranked lower to increase rapidly.

Because even though they can achieve good results such as draws in the last few matches but still, if they don't have the ability to win three points consistently. So it will still be a difficult job for them to get out of the relegation zone.

But Troyes match can be a good chance for them to recover themselves and get in good shape because, during the last matches, Troyes had had no win in the previous five games and currently they are in the danger zone of the league and this can be the reason to say Auxerre can have a better chance against them. also, the last time these two teams had a match the result was 1-1 which can be a reason to say this game is harder to predict.

On paper Monaco is the favorite, of course many people will bet on this match for Monaco, but on the other hand Strasbourg last week won against Auxerre 2 goals without reply and that could have increased their confidence to be able to get points in the match later, for example holding Monaco to a draw because in their last 5 meetings Monaco and Strasbourg both won 2x and drew 1x in the meeting this weekend I think the score will be a draw or Monaco won narrowly

Auxerre which will play at home, will be an advantage for them in this match, also their head to head record is better rather than Troyes so in my opinion it will be an absolute victory for Auxeree in that match. Let's hope they make very good use of their chances at home, if they are want to get out of the relegation zone, but I believe they can win and get three points.

I can't say that this match will be an absolute victory for Auxerre, because even though they are playing at home, their appearance is not much different from their current opponents. Troyes also has the opportunity to be able to steal at least one point from this match. Indeed, the visitors are no better than their last 5 matches, but that doesn't mean their opportunity is completely lost.
