French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[KTChampions]

It would be funny if the team whose players occupy all the top 10 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in the league did not become a champion. But unfortunately it's hard to believe, first of all, because there is no clear leader among the competitors and in the end they all interfere with each other in favor of PSG.
Messi should always be blamed, he had two seasons to show at least 20% of what PR says about him, and if the first season could be explained "he left Barcelona for the first time," now no excuses work.

That's well described and the fact that we are talking about it is even bad enough for PSG. The Ligue 1 is so bad that PSG can't motivate themseves to win it easily. To me it is not a sign of the strength of the other teams, it is a sign of the weakness within PSG. They aren't good, they can't compete at their maximum. They miss the competition during the entire season until they finall are up against a world class team but when the time has come they aren't prepared themselves. This project PSG isn't going anywhere from here. Some say that Zidane wants to take over, but do you really believe that? Is the Ligue 1 the place where he wants to continue his career? I don't see that happening.

It is unlikely that Zidane will agree to lead a team (even if we do not take into account the fact that he has Marseille roots and is "historically" an enemy of PSG) where he will not have full power. As long as the team has such anchors as Neymar and Messi, a normal coach will not go there (only for space money or for other unsportsmanlike reasons). In general, PSG is largely a political project, and given that politics is dirt, not everyone agrees to get dirty.
Last season PSG after being eliminated from the Champions League in Ligue 1 really improved their performance - I remember they had a lot of big wins, it seems that this season they don't have the moral strength to force themselves to finish the season normally.

I'm not sure about how Zidane likes to receive a good amount of salary but I know since PSG spent lots of money got the players, they can even spend much more to hire a good coach, and for Zidane, this can be an interesting option to join PSG as a french team and earn more salary compared to other similar teams.

The next matches are Lens against Strasbourg and Marseille against Lorient, I'm sure Lens can win those matches but I'm not sure how Marseille will win, he has to win if he doesn't want to be completely moved by Lens.

Previously, I was quite surprised by the position of the top team in the standings, especially Lens and Marseille, both of whom have the same number of points. This must be because Marseille was held to a draw by Montpellier in last week's game. For Lens, they took second place after they were quite choked up at the beginning of last February, they didn't get maximum results. In the next match, Lens will face an opponent that I think is quite easy, Strasbourg, so victory is likely to be closer to Lens. On the other hand, Marseille will face Lorient which in my opinion will be quite a troublesome opponent, if Marseille can get full points in this match then they will again compete with Lens.

At this moment Lens is the favorite to win because in fact, so far this season Lens is the best team for home matches. So, playing against Strasbourg which is in the bottom zone, of course Lens should be able to win in this match, because from the available odds it is clear that the chance for Strasbourg is indeed difficult to gain points in this match.

But, if I consider the head to head in their last three meetings, the reality is Lens can't beat Strasbourg at all. Because after all, even though Strasbourg is in the lower zone in the current Ligue 1 standings, but sometimes Strasbourg can surprise when playing against top teams. But yes, after all Lens still has a good chance to win, as a way to end the bad record when Lens played against Strasbourg.

Lens is favoured to beat Strasbourg, but you never know in sports. Any number of things could happen in Strasbourg to shake our confidence. Take a look at the rankings, though; Strasbourg is very close. They're tied with Auxerre, so they need to step it up in the remaining games if they want to win the tiebreaker.

Lens, on the other hand, is in a strong position to challenge PSG for the Ligue 1 championship. In order to keep dreaming, they must destroy Strasbourg. But man, PSG is ready to fight, and that matchup is going to be the true test. Lens still has a chance to qualify for next year's Champions League by playing consistently during their next nine games.

PSG seems to have found a point of difficulty after being eliminated from the ucl hahaha

It could be that they really haven't moved on and are still sinking because of the defeat to the UCL. So that they seem to have lost motivation, not to mention the various talks by fans or many people outside regarding the defeat of a club that has super star players in football. What's more, their hopes in the UCL this season were huge, and those hopes have been dashed. But they should be professionals, and they have to move on in order to still be able to defend at least the French League title. 

[Docnaster]

Having this type of air in the league where teams do not know if PSG is doing well enough or not, made the rest of them not so great neither. I mean that's what happens when a good team leads the league, because you are not entirely sure if you should chase or not, when you try to chase and they end up with a better result, you feel like you are never going to catch up to them and makes you feel bad, and when you lose and they lose as well, you feel like you missed a big chance and that makes you feel even worse.

Only thing that could make you feel better is to win when they lose and that rarely could happen since they lose so rarely, and that's why it's a hard job.

PSG has lost for the second time after being humiliated against Rennes before and yesterday was beaten again by Lyon even though we know that PSG have a lot of great players but can't beat them, I think PSG needs to make changes to tactics so they don't suffer consecutive defeats, even though PSG still at the top of the standings but this must be taken seriously, PSG must completely overhaul in the future so as not to suffer previous defeats.

Paris Saint Germain's tactical unbalance this season is as a result of the mentality and work rate of their manager and that's where they were dumbed out of Europe by Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Christophe Galtier isn't the best man for the PSG job and he must accept it and leave the club at the end of the season. The club owners has hugely invested in this club and they need to start winning trophies both domestic and European honours and if they must achieve that, then they have to get a new Coach

An unbalanced team can be a reason but the person who bought this squad is the owner of this team and that's the problem in PSG, they just spent money and they didn't pay attention to hiring players to have enough strength in other lines than forwards they got good forwards but they also need good midfielders and good defenders and this unbalanced teams failed this season however I think the main reason for them to have bad performance was their coach.

Well said. I don't think someone like Messi is a problem for Zidane. He also coached Ronaldo who is very similar. Space money might be one point, but I think you got it right when you said "not everyone agrees to get dirty". That hits the nail on the head in my opinion. Some people said he might go to Juventus Turin, but no way. Not as long as there is trouble going on and they don't have a team that can win the Champions League. There aren't many places for him to go when you won the Champions League with Real Madrid three years in a row. Deschamps extended his contract until 2026, Chelsea is in trouble and won't play Champions League next season, PSG is too political and the league is not worth his time in my opinion. There isn't much he can go to. Do you think he would go to Real Madrid for a third time?

@KTChampions Messi is definitely leaving PSG, and I believe that they’ll sack their current coach and hire a new one and the incoming coach should sell Neymar and Mbappé and build a team of players who’re hungry to win each and every match.

Also Zidane has many clubs to pick from and at this stage it’s safe to assume that PSG is also one of them, because here he could rebuild a squad entirely how he wants but will he come no one can say that with certainty.

Current standings, Strasbourg one strip left from relegation zone right now and their position is not safe right now because have the same points with Auxerre last team from relegation. No doubt with Lens winning against Strasbourg next match and try keep compete on top position with PSG behind 6 points left.

Have crucial up coming next match after facing Strasbourg because PSG have waiting for and important games for Lens have chance for stopping PSG dominance in Ligue 1. Lens on 2rd standings awhile have chance with Champion League spot for next season but have 9 matches left looking on how consistent their performance or not.

Strasbourg shouldn't be a big deal for Lens because we all know Lens is very strong at home this season that from the total 17 wins that Lens got this season 12 of them they got from home matches even PSG has no chances against them at that time and compared to Strasbourg who only can able to gets 2 wins from away matches i think clearly Lens is better

But Lens should be careful to Strasbourg because previously i have been notice they were successfully to stole points several times from big teams such as Marseille and sometimes Strasbourg playing with good defense which makes big teams in trouble and failed to win from them and apparently to earn 3 points from Strasbourg is not so easy for Lens especially head to head statistics has been showed Lens only able to get 1 win in the last 5 matches from Strasbourg

I don't agree with you. PSG's squad has plenty of talented players in forward, midfield, and defense. PSG's defense has talented star players like Hakimi, Kimpembe, Ramos, and Marquinhos. Veratti, Ruiz, and Soler in the midfield are quite talented. PSG's midfield is perhaps a little weak in comparison. But despite having a strong defense and attack, PSG's performances in both defense and forward have been poor. They have a lot of money. But they are unable to select the right players for the team. This is why PSG management needs an experienced coach. An experienced coach will improve the overall performance of the PSG squad.

[dezoel]

Lower level teams are getting a bit better lately and the yare playing clearly better and closer to PSG, all these teams beating smaller teams ended up being something a bit better for their future. If you play like this and keep improving, then eventually someone will beat PSG again one day, it takes time but consistency is the key, if you are a consistently playing like this then you are going to get better and have better results and more money and then you are going to end up with a much better result.

But, we are going to end up with them not being consistent all the time, not all teams at least, some of them will start to be something a bit worse.

Yo, Lens might be the faves to snatch the W against Strasbourg, but football's wild, right? Strasbourg could flip the script, leaving us all shook. But peep the standings, Strasbourg's like one step from that danger zone, and they ain't safe. Tied with Auxerre, they gotta bring it in the next games, but it ain't looking too hot for them.

Lens, though, they're sitting pretty, eyeing that top spot in Ligue 1, looking to tussle with PSG. They gotta crush Strasbourg to keep dreaming. But man, PSG's on deck, ready to throw down, and that clash is gonna be the real test. Consistency's the name of the game, and with nine matches to go, Lens better find their groove and lock in that Champions League spot next season.

Lens is on form,  but I see Strasbourg as one of the teams that have been a problem to french top clubs in this season.  Their past records proves them to be a big problem to strong sides like Monaco, Masseille,  Lyon and many more others. Both  in head to head analysis lenz seems favourable, but in the standing Auxerre is very close to overthrowing Strasbourg and with a single point this will be possible, I don't see Strasbourg allowing this cuz it may draw them even more  closer to the relegation zone. For now I can't bet on any side to win

Balance in a team is the main thing, actually you don't have to have star players to create a team like that, as long as they can understand each other and can carry out what the coach instructs properly. They actually have enough capital to create a dream team like that, it's just that now I think they still chose the wrong step by only relying on star players.

@Juggy777 as we have said before "space money" as KTChampions called it could of course make Zidane sign a contract with PSG. But usually PSG is not the kind of club that Zidane would like to work for even though they are in France. Winning Ligue 1 with PSG has almost no value and that isn't really what Zidane is looking for. It would all be about the Champions League the entire season. In La Liga you have the competition with Barcelona all year long and in Copa del Rey as well. We don't need to talk about the Premier League. And even in Serie A you have the Milan clubs, Napoli as contenders for Juventus Turin (even though that has changed for the time being).

I doubt that he will go to PSG. It would be kind of boring, but not all too surprising when Zidane is taking over Real Madrid once more this summer.

Strasbourg is a team at the bottom of the points table but their performances in recent times have surprised everyone. The performance of the team has improved. And now they are playing well in almost every match. Even though they lost against Monaco in the last match, they managed to score three goals in this match. Unfortunately, they lost the match against Monaco.

The lens is a very strong team. And they are now fighting for the title. With PSG not in good form, Lens will now try their best to go to the top of the table. The Strasbourg team cannot be said to be weak as an opponent. Lens players can't make any mistakes and they can't beat the Strasbourg team. The lens will try to dominate this match from the start. If they play an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match, they might be able to defeat the Strasbourg team.

[rendravolt]

Paris Saint Germain's tactical unbalance this season is as a result of the mentality and work rate of their manager and that's where they were dumbed out of Europe by Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Christophe Galtier isn't the best man for the PSG job and he must accept it and leave the club at the end of the season. The club owners has hugely invested in this club and they need to start winning trophies both domestic and European honours and if they must achieve that, then they have to get a new Coach

Galtier is indeed the only person who should be held responsible for the poor results achieved by PSG this season either in the champions league or ligue 1. As a coach he seems to have no mental motivation for his players and as we know Galtier seems resigned to the results achieved get PSG in every game. It's time for him to be fired by the club because this will have a very bad impact if he continues to let Galtier stay at PSG.

Messi does seem to be doing all he can to help this happen, don't blame him, either.

I'm much more interested in pretending Monaco is silently making amends... think they just unravelled a bit of a surprise in Ben Seghir, looks so good with Taki now that Embolo's out. Minus his stepovers, though, heh.

It would be funny if the team whose players occupy all the top 10 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in the league did not become a champion. But unfortunately it's hard to believe, first of all, because there is no clear leader among the competitors and in the end they all interfere with each other in favor of PSG.
Messi should always be blamed, he had two seasons to show at least 20% of what PR says about him, and if the first season could be explained "he left Barcelona for the first time," now no excuses work.

Not as funny as Al-Nassr owning the number one highest-paid player in the world? Haha but no, you're right, but it does make me think of some American sports, where I believe it's actually pretty common to have best-paid players not be in title-winning teams (don't shoot me if I'm wrong).

And yes, PSG should be lucky their rivals are taking points off each other...

High pay is an assessment for a player now, yes that's natural because they will be required to do their best to make them equal to what they receive from the club. But of course that is not a guarantee that players will be able to play very well even though the payout they receive is very high. Also I don't think it's just the fault of one player, it's the responsibility of everyone in the team.

Psg are having many problems now, they are not sure if Messi and Neymar will be in the club by next season, and now they have a little probelm with Kylian Mbappe, and the player even made a statement on instagram that the club isn't "Kylian Saint-Germain". The problem is because of a video that psg posted without informing Kylian, even when the video was made, the club did not tell Kylian the purpose of the video, but they went ahead to use it in advertising season ticket sales for next season, i think psg are doing this to make sure they keep Kylian Mbappe in the club. The player was not happy with the antics of the club and he has said what he thinks publicly, let us see how psg responds. The club is having many problems with their big stars, we do not even know how many of them will be with the club next season. If you want to know more about this story, you can check it online, it has been posted in many news channels.

IMO, Galtier is actually a pretty smart trainer. unfortunately, he does not have an ideal pattern. or perhaps, he had little choice but to tinker with formations and rotate his players frequently. sometimes, it's hard for me to understand what galtier wants to implement in the system.

Maybe it could be, that Galtier lacks players who fit the criteria he wants. I mean, for PSG's midfield. because from my point of view, there are some drawbacks to the midfielders that PSG have, be it attacking or defensive midfielders. well, when PSG play against a team that is below their level. can be sure, that PSG will dominate the game. however, when they meet a team of equals, they encounter many obstacles. well, regarding the future of Galtier. my guess is, PSG management will look for another coach in the coming season.
