French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[fullhdpixel]

After failing about their Champions League target once again I wonder if PSG would have a problem on keeping some of their stars in the summer. I don't know maybe I'm exaggerating the situation but they have been targeting the same title for many seasons in the end. Even after completing an incredible attacking trio like Messi-Mbappe-Neymar they are still unable to get even close to the title. Their performance against Bayern Munich wasn't good enough I'm afraid.

I think this would depend on if they sign the right manager for this team. For now Messi intends to take his time before making a decision about his future. Maybe Mbappe wouldn't leave already but I'm not sure about Neymar. Because there have been rumours about Neymar as well.

Winning trophies in UEFA is now never been easy because for this we need complete package and PSG is having good squad but sadly never been ideal coach with their few inner politics is also never been helpful for having things which are important for the win of Champions League there is no doubt they have one of the best attack in soccer world with Messi, Mbappé and Neymar but sadly in last few years things never been ideal for them which bring success in UEFA, so now it's time for Qatari owners sit and think about their mistakes with having good coach and squad may be help them but for this foremost they need a discipline team as well which is the most important part of success.

Now next season is surely going to be important because we have too many rumors about their future with few stars are looking for the leave of club so how they will handle this all and can they bring ideal coach it's all going to clear in June because this is going to be important if they want to win Champions League in near future.

Back to the Marseille vs Montpellier match, with the advantages I mentioned above, of course Marseille will not waste this opportunity to add 3 points to the standings and continue to stick to PSG's position at the top. The opportunity for Marseille to win Ligue 1 this season is still open and PSG should be more careful so that Marseille does not shift its position.

Although Marseille is a strong team, I don't think it will be easy to get 3 points against Montpellier. I know Montpellier is way behind in the points table. The 11th team in the points table is Montpellier. On the other hand, Marseille is second on the table. However, Montpellier is in good form. The Montpellier team is unbeaten in the last 6 matches. They have won 5 of these 6 matches. In such a form, they will definitely not want to lose. I have seen their performance in a few matches. The performance of this team is quite good. Their overall performance is stable now, especially as their attacking players have improved in performance. So against Marseille, the Montpellier team will definitely play with the aim of winning.

Indeed, this is an extraordinary achievement for Montpellier and this will at least make it difficult for Marseille against a team with positive results in several matches. On the other hand, the H2H for these two teams has always been won by Marseille with a narrow score, so I think Marseille will be ahead again in this match. But Marseille is quite under pressure here and they should be able to win this match no matter what.

Montpellier's chances of winning this match are very small, especially since Marseille has the ambition to narrow the distance between their points difference and PSG

Besides that, the support from the home fans (Marseille) will definitely add to the fighting spirit of the players, 2-0 for the victory of Marseille is the final score that I predict will happen

The french ligue 1 has two tittle contenders PSG and others. PSG has dominated the french league in the last 10 years and they have won it 8 out of 10. But when it comes to europe they are no where to be found, their most desired trophy, the champions league trophy is always out of their grasp yearly no matter how much the spend in the transfer market.

They have sought the services of different mangers to make this dream a reality but none have been able to deliver their most desired trophy. I think they will have a great shot at winning the champions league if they can clinch the services Zinedine Zidane. He's well experienced and his records in the tournament is remarkable.

In last one decade we have two leagues in Europe dominating by two teams with PSG at Ligue 1 and Bayern Munich at Bundesliga but in current season we have tough challenge for the Bayern Munich with currently Borussia Dortmund is leading by one point but sadly here things are same because no other team having consistency like PSG for challenging them even Marseille and Monaco are also improving but not as we have expectations from them in current season PSG is also having some issue regarding their form.

But after 28 rounds they are still leading by seven points which is clearly giving impression how strong they are so if someone want to challenge them then surely they need to improve their quality and having few top ranked players are important as well which needs big investment so if we have something improved then surely we can expect some better competition otherwise PSG is not going to have any challenge in domestic league with their dream of Champions League is also needed good strategy and well experienced coach.

Montpellier's performance is now more regular than Marseille's. However, Montpellier has several weaknesses. And their biggest weakness is their defense. Montpellier's defense is very weak. They conceded 47 goals in 28 matches. And so I would say that if Montpellier's defenders play well against Marseille, they have a chance of picking up points. If the defense is weak against Marseille, Montpellier will surely lose. Marseille's offensive line is now quite strong.

But even though this match is favorite for Marseille, I expect an exciting match and Montpellier can match Marseille's performance in this match.
They are also in good shape so it is hoped that they too can keep up to make the game more interesting, although indeed betting on Marseille is a sure thing now.

Montpellier is in a pretty good trend in its last 6 matches. unfortunately, they failed to get full points when hosting Lens. however, this result makes them a little confident when they travel to Marseille headquarters. at least, the coach will maximize his team to stay on a positive path. although it is difficult to overthrow the home team, at least they will work hard to avoid defeat. the most likely scenario is, Montpellier will use the same formation against PSG with a 3-5-2 pattern. meaning, they will play more defensively.

On the other hand, Marseille as the home team will target full points in this match, three points is the result they must get when playing at home. besides that, Marseille will try to minimize the difference in points from the top of the standings. plus, maintaining their ranking which is only two points away from Lens. on paper, Marseille will win this match easily, especially if we refer to the available odds. but I don't want to speculate too far, before knowing the starting line-up and the formation that these two teams will use.

Even if Marseille win the game that won't stop Paris Saint Germain from winning the league title, Paris Saint Germain are the favourite to win the French league this season, knowing that they are even out of the champions League, this is there only hope of winning a major trophy, and another thing is that I don't see any other team challenging them at the Moment, outside the lost before the international break I still believe they are the one to win the French league title this season.

It is true that PSG is still a strong candidate to win Ligue 1 this season. However, since PSG were eliminated from the Champions League and in the previous game they also lost against Rennes, now they are starting to have gaps in almost all lines, especially the midfield, which has very little contribution to create opportunities and this will certainly make the coach confused about determining the strategy in the next game. Certainly even if PSG can win it will have to work hard at the moment and don't usually win easily against their opponents.

Personally, I do not follow Ligue 1 that much. Because it is actually quite boring. PSG is certainly going to win the league title because they already have 7 points advantage. If PSG was able to win the Champions League, it would have been the most interesting thing that any Ligue 1 team would have done.

Marseille vs Montpellier match should certainly be a win for Marseille. But the thing is Montpellier is also in a good form right now. So this is certainly going to be a match where both teams will score. But still should be a will for Marseille

Actually, this league is not really boring compared to other leagues, for example in Serie A there is more gap and in Bundesliga, we had always Bayern Munch in the first place. But this time is French League I guess PSG is closer to other teams considering the situation they have. They have got many superstar players in their team but still, there is only seven points difference between PSG and Marseille.

But Marseille is quite under pressure here and they should be able to win this match no matter what.

Montpellier is enjoying a wonderful performance currently. They have not lost any game in five matches winning four and drawing just one. But their last match against Clermont Foot was not encouraging. They struggled to win the game and if not for the superb performance of their goalkeeper, they wouldn't have won that match. The second placed Olympique de Marseille will not also find this match easy because Montpellier has not lost hope of clinching a continental ticket next season. But I am sure Marseille is also desperate to close the seven points gap between them and PSG, maybe the might become the league winners if PSG makes few blunders.

I would guess that being out of UCL means even more focus on the league and PSG will probably play a lot better in the coming games. I am not saying that it is going to be easy for them or anything, but they should be able to get it fine enough.

They have such great players at the front that sometimes the problems at the midfield do not even matter. They tried to get some players before for the midfield but they are failing to do that direly, their defense is good, goalkeeping is good, offense is good, only thing that is lacking is a good midfield and I think they are not going to be able to fix that now anyway, so they will want to focus winning with this roster.

[Distraction]

Of course every person has their own ideas but I think PSG will part ways with Galtier at the end of the season.

I don't think they will see this result as successful enough to keep him even if they win the Ligue 1 title. Because they have already been dominating the Ligue 1 for so many years thanks to the huge gap with the other teams in the league. Therefore he wouldn't make difference with winning the same title once again. He was expected to win the Champions League title with this team but he failed. I don't think the players are also contented with the current management of the team. Galtier's end might be similar to Nagelsmann's recently.

[Oneandpure]

PSG is the only team that is always dominating the league. It has a worthy competitor like marseille or lens but the problem is if PSG was the only richest club in league 1. that was making the competition become incompetitive at this moment.
PSG already expected to win the league again this season. Seeing how PSG is always dominating the league and i hope there will be big investors interested in acquiring one of club in league 1.

PSG dominating Ligue 1 for every season just except 2020/2021 when Lille success dominating by winning Ligue 1, this season seems Ligue 1 tittle belongs to PSG after having 7 points left from Marseille. No doubt with financial having from PSG and the most richest team in Ligue 1 make them easy recruiting many start players.

I think Ligue 1 is not really competitive league not also difference financial condition between PSG and the other team but also inconsistent performance from the rival team from Marseille, Lens, Lille and AS Monaco. PSG have loss 4 games in this season but still remaining 7 points left from Marseille and seems the other team is not compete how keep in tittle race and dominating in Ligue 1. Seems not change for this season and 10 games left PSG will win Ligue 1 again.

Even if in the end he will leave but as long as PSG bring back this seemingly ordinary coach it will not make any impact. If they want good things and if they sack Galtier then they need to seriously look for a coach who can take them in a better direction because at the moment with coaches like Galtier or Pochetino before they can't really say much in the big competitions even Ligue 1 is a certainty.

The main reason for PSG being at the top of the table is the financial situation of this team, Compared to PSG there are fewer superstars in the whole French league, and other teams like Monaco and Marseille have the budget to hire lower-level players not players like Mbappe or Messi, that why we saw PSG donating the league. However, I was expecting much more from them with the money they spent so far but there is only seven points gap between them and Marseille.

PSG's injury problems so far have made the team's performance unstable. They have to be realistic enough to finish the match with a number of substitute players, while it is difficult to prevent conceding in their last few match.

Their defense isn't great even if they have great players. PSG conceded 8 goals in their last 5 matches, it is bad to assume a solid team is defended. Defensive and midfield issues are the most obvious about PSG at the moment, but this season they are the title favorites for whatever reason now.

Gone are the days I will always say that if PSG is eliminated from The Champions League. They will now be focused one Ligue one with all their energy in order to win it.
But this time around it is quite obvious that PSG as a team is even tired of winning the league one title.
Their major challenge is the Champions League and no matter how much investment they have been making in their team in order to win the Champions League. It has proven futile for so many seasons now.
I do not therefore think that the PSG players will be energetic and willing to play even much better as they are indirectly demoralized.

It seems you need to look back at the Bundesliga standings at this point if you say that there is always Bayern Munich in first place. Because what I have seen this season, the competition in the Bundesliga is much fiercer than in other leagues this season, where Bayern Munich's point gap is only one point with Dortmund. Meanwhile, in Ligue1, the gap in points between PSG and Marseille is still quite far, because Marseille needs to hope for three defeats against PSG in order to overtake PSG at the top of the standings.

There is no doubt in this season we have good competition in few leagues but still PSG is dominating here with 7 points difference and Serie A is completely boring with Napoli is leading from front by 17 points but here in Ligue 1 we have big gaped of quality which needs to be settled but sadly other clubs are not capable of doing this because its needs huge funds and no one having luxury like PSG which is surely problem but with the limited sources and available quality things are good which are helping teams like Marseille, Monaco and Lens which are giving tough challenge to leaders for the title race.

But if we have some investment from these clubs then surely things could be more interested in fans of this league because this could be created good interested and competitive matches which will increase entertainment.

[Docnaster]

It is clear that in Ligue 1 they will be able to become champions without significant pressure, but the problem is that their main goal is not in Ligue 1 but in the Champions League. And as you said they were knocked out by Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Of course this will be a threat to their coaching position which means perhaps their failure in the Champions League will result in their coach being sacked early.

PSG is the only team that is always dominating the league. It has a worthy competitor like marseille or lens but the problem is if PSG was the only richest club in league 1. that was making the competition become incompetitive at this moment.
PSG already expected to win the league again this season. Seeing how PSG is always dominating the league and i hope there will be big investors interested in acquiring one of club in league 1.

I just hope that if marseille will not make another mistake that may make the club lose more points again. As long as marseille can be consistent to get full points until the last game of league 1 and the chance to take the trophy is always there for marseille.

PSG is not performing as well as before since there are so many problems are still happening in the internal of club. Seeing how neymar is in the conflict with the club makes me believe if PSG will not able to perform better until the end of season.

It's no doubt that Paris Saint Germain's dominance in French Ligue 1 had been so huge that that it has made the the league of the most boring leagues in Europe alongside German Bundesliga that's been held hostage by Bayern Munich. Continuously wining the domestic league isn't the main reason the club owners has spent hugely in the club by assembling football best players but to win the UEFA Champions League trophy that has eluded them as club since formation.

The main reason they were eliminated from club football's most prestigious competition this season I think was managerial faults and if they must get it right next season, they must get a new manager that knows how to win the U CL

Galtier is not suitable for this job as they are completely failed in Champions League and in this season their attacking power is also not working as we have in last few years even we still have Neymar, Messi and Mbappé which are most lethal in European clubs which mean all is not good specially as their target is Champions League they need a good experienced coach which manage these stars and able to have better results as currently rumors are working around we will have good changes in coming season because club management is still had their priority into Champions League, and they can as much they can for their desire hopefully in next season we will have top ranked coach and good positive changes in this giant club for better results.
