French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Harkorede]

PSG is going to take the field against Angers today. This is PSG's home match. But it seems that Messi and Neymar will not perform in this match. Because, yesterday they performed in the national team match. They can't perform back in France so fast. In addition to Neymar and Messi, PSG is strong enough. However, the Angers are performing well this season. They are now the fourth team in the points table. Will Mbappe be able to give the PSG team the gift of victory against the Angers today?

PSG is playing at home and after a defeat in the last round against Rennes they should bounce back and win this match easily with any team that is playing. Mbappe will be i think enough to win this match paired with Icardi in the attack and Draxler.Their second squad is also powerfull.

the current score is still 0-0 but when you look at the game it looks like PSG will win again in this match.
angers were locked up and forced not to develop their game.
but in this match the rotation for the substitution of PSG players was too excessive in my opinion.

The rotation wasn't something PSG couldn't have prevented by any means except the match got postponed, most of the available players played a match less than 16-23 hours ago in different South American countries.

PSG are trailing by a goal, and this could be their 2nd consecutive loss if care isn't taking, I wouldn't be surprised though, I knew better by not backing them tonight.

Without Messi and Neymar, PSG is playing against Angers. The Angers team has performed very well this season. It was not an easy match for PSG at all. It has become more difficult not to have Messi and Neymar in the team. PSG is not attacking much today. Although 30 minutes of match-time is over, I have only seen 1 shot from PSG players so far. They will not be able to win if they play with such defensive tactics.

PSG have already conceded a goal. PSG is behind 1-0. Ball possession, PSG is 74% and Angers is only 26%. PSG keeps the ball in their possession but they are not making attack too much. My expectation today was that Mbappe and Icardi would score and PSG would win. But now it seems that it is becoming difficult for PSG to draw the match.

[ShowOff]

I don't know why Pochettino didn't play Hakimi from the start. PSG are currently 1 goal behind Angers and have not been able to equalize until the second half. Draxler who seems to be in good shape also doesn't play and that's very confusing I mean. Of course it was surprising when they had 75% possession but there were very few chances created. If PSG lose, should we blame Pochettino today?

But now, 1-1.

Currently, match already passed 65 minutes and Angers leading by 0 - 1 mean now most chances they are going to have one point from this match even they are able to have all three points because PSG is without too many star players those are not available just for their National duties but still a big question mark on PSG they are really rich and have no enough reserve players those can handle situations like this Icardi and Mbappé are not able to have any shot on target and Angers just 2 shots and 1 goal feeling shame for PSG right now they are going to be really frustrated after this match.

Edit: 70th minute and PSG level the match through goal from Danilo.

Harkorede nice move, I obviously made a mistake when I decided to place a bet on them this evening, with odds 1.36 (at Stake) I thought it's almost like easy money... watching a game and I can't believe how wrong I was! As Joca97 wrote, they are playing at home, they lost in the last round, even with a few players missing I thought this will be an easy win for PSG!

Well, it's 1- 1! Maybe this will not be an easy win, but PSG can take this... and save my ticket:

[Ebede]

It's few minutes to go and Paris saint German are still on top of the table despite not been with Messi, Neymar and Di Maria.
Danilo and Kylian Mbappe, I knew he'll be on the scoreboard today.
Up next will be Champions League fixture against Club Bruge.

[Woodie]

With several players of PSG are on national duties I really wanted to see how Messi is fitting in with the team and I didn't expect this game to be any easy for them either, despite many of us picking them as easy favourites to win the game and seeing that this match is almost done these guys have bagged their 3 points. And Mbappe scored a penalty adding one more to the many still to come...a promising prospective player.

[beerlover]

Just because PSG is a good team doesn't mean that they will win every single game. There will be times that they get a draw or they get a loss as well. We have seen examples of it before and I am sure we are going to see examples of it later on as well.

If PSG wins every of their match, Ligue 1 will probably be boring. They may encounter more lost match later on, we shouldn't forget that this is Football and anything can happen.
PSG have to play against Angers today, they will surely win the match, but Angers might give them a tough time in the game. Am expecting PSG to score 3 or more goals.

I do not think that it would be boring if they end up winning every game. It is obvious that we would know the champions beforehand if they end up winning everything. However is it really bad that one team is that good and obviously the champions and then suddenly it is boring? We have two other options to make it fun, one of them is the fact that we are still watching who will be the second team in the league and who will be relegated and all that, so aside from the first place we have all the other positions getting a lot of attention. However, if you do not care about that, then we could talk about how PSG is beating and have fun watching them.

If you are from France and fan of another team then you are not going to have fun however if you are from another nation like me then watching PSG to beat every team is something I can enjoy watching as well. Bundesliga has Bayern for the past 10 years or something like that, and it is still fun.

Edit: 70th minute and PSG level the match through goal from Danilo.

PSG got a penalty kick in 87 minutes and Mbappé eventually scored. Making the match end with a 2-1 victory to PSG. Despite playing without some of their key players, PSG was still able to come through with 3 points against Angers. Mbappe was probably the man of the match, before scoring the 2nd goal, he assisted Danilo into scoring the first goal. He however have scored a total of 4 goals this season in the Ligue 1. While Angers have to work on their squad, Although they performed well today because I never expected PSG to win them with a goal difference.

In the end Mbappe saved the PSG team from a sure defeat. However, they could not have won if PSG had not taken the penalty chance in the 6th minute. The match would have been a draw. I like the performance of Mbappe and PSG defenders in today's match. Angers can't posses the ball for long time. But they have done a lot of good attack. PSG's defenders were able to resist all Angers' attacks very well. Otherwise, the PSG team would have had to concede a few more goals.

Pochettino gambling today with the fixture and he was lucky. Mbappe scored a penalty before the end of the match and made an assist for their first goal. Nonetheless being behind with 1 goal for 2/3 of the game wasn't good at all!
They should find a way to convince Mbappe for renewing his contract seriously

[Ratash]

I don't know why Pochettino didn't play Hakimi from the start. PSG are currently 1 goal behind Angers and have not been able to equalize until the second half.

If PSG lose, should we blame Pochettino today?

But now, 1-1.

It seems that pochetino made mistakes on the first half he played with so many players who were not ready they either cameback from injuries or didnt play many this season like rafinha and dagba it was poor performance in the first half but in the second half things got better and draxler and mbappe saved the day but still we cant blame him much since many players were absent due to national teams matches.

And it was Mbappe to the rescue as most of the users here have predicted already... He was indeed directly involved with both PSG goals.

This was by no means an easy win as you all thought it would be, but it's the 3 point that matters at the end, and congratulations with your bet, and good luck with remaining fixture on the slip.

Mbappe is playing amazing this season in PSG and for France as well.He carried alone today PSG to the win and another match where they are struggling. But even Icardi didnt see the handball when he shot and hitted the arm of the opponent.VAR saved today PSG but they need to get themselfs togheter

But when players comeback from an injury their performance isn't anyway near a 100% and besides giving these guys game time helps to rebuild their confidence back to where it was before they got injured,  commendable job by the coach if you ask me. By the way you can't win every game in spite a few teams that tried to achieve this by not losing a single game in a season, otherwise great save Mbappe.

[hahay]

Actually, when many of PSG's main players are injured or hampered to play, PSG have second-tier players or substitute players who are also as good as having good quality as well. But somehow when I know that many of PSG's main players are unable to play, I feel that PSG will still not be able to win big and will not be able to get clean sheets. Even I think PSG almost drew in the last match against Angers, I bet AH for Angers (2) with this result I still get my bet.

[KTChampions]

Although the PSG - Angers game went a little as expected, but nevertheless the result is completely logical, after all, PSG has a great depth of squad and even without a few top players is able to achieve victory in matches with the middle peasants who are trying their best. I think it will make a big difference when the hot days in the Champions League come, although on the other hand, by this time PSG will already be so far from the competitors that there will be nothing to worry about.
Yes, and I'm still surprised by the odds of a goal from Mbappe 1.77 even though this bet worked.

[ibuddy122505]

It is Mbappe who plays the most important role against Angers. Despite not having Messi or Neymar, I think PSG will still win any game they play. In Ligue 1, PSG should be able to beat any team without Neymar and Messi. After all, their abilities are undeniable. They are a star-studded team. Pochettino must maximize their potential. Angers gave them a hard time, but penalties saved them.

Mbappe still worth for PSG and we can win without Lionel Messi, Neymar and Di Maria, but they only win with little score 2-1 and have loss first after Anger success make first goal. I think need new tactic for Pocchetino how to make PSG become stronger again and can win easy with many league 1 club because PSG is most stronger team right now in France league. They have much money and success get many star player but under Pocchetino they not have great performance.

Mbappe saved many of us, great play and  definitely a crazy game, from 2 in the half time to 1 in the end, who would expect that from PSG? I didn't for sure.

I think Olympicue will win, but double chance is just in case... Like PSG Olympicue lost last game, draw against Galatasaray, while Lorient is playing good in last games... I don't expect an easy game, I just feel it's time for Olympicue to wake up.
