French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[QueenVera]

From the reports that's been emanating from different sports tabloids in main land Europe, it seems like Kylian Mbappe will extend his contract with Paris Saint Germaine. He joined the first team to training yesterday and that's another strong indication that he might stay back at PSG.
That being said, if Kylian Mbappe extends his contract with PSG once again after initially making public of his decision to leave it'll somehow define him as a player whose decisions are very flexible and can be easily influenced  with money. PSG owner chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi  knows Kylian Mbappe's weakness and might make him change his mind once again with big financial offers

 The thing is that PSG won't want to lose on of their priced player for free to they had to look for any possible mean to pin him with a new contract with huge offer so they'll benefits from any transfer deal involving him next  summer PSG also played a big one on him by involving a huge demand that would chase away possible bidders then demoted him to training with the youth team and comeup with a contrast when they knew he had no choice but to accept the deal so as to see a playing time  this season.
 But i still feel they'll take advantage of this new decision by Mbappe and try to make him sign another contract with them next summer, my question is that with Mbappe signing a new contract with PSG is there any chances that he'll move to Realmadrid next summer because it would had been very getting him on a free transfer by sunmer, well only time will tell

Mbappe shouldn't stay at PSG any longer. He seemed decisive when he said that he wasn't going to extend his contract with the team. He should stand behind his words.

PSG have been believing that Mbappe has already reached an agreement with Real Madrid verbally. Technically I don't expect them to be able to convince them to stay longer from now on. They can just have one last season with him and then Mbappe leaves. Real Madrid haven't even signed anyone for their centre-forward area. They must be allocating a place for Mbappe there already. They are going to be able to sign him in only six months for free. I can't wait to see what will happen in January. 

PSG tried everything within their reach to sell Kylian Mbappe but all their strength all to no avail. Kylian Mbappe will not extend his contract with PSG, however we have different rumours circulating round his transfer. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants Kylian Mbappe to be in the club, he even tried a couple of times to persuaded the Frenchman to extend his contract which was seen as an impossible tasks. Mbappe stand firm on his decision, he's not signing any contract or leaving the club, he wants to leave as free agent, turning down the gigantic offered.

Mbappe stand firm on his decision, he's not signing any contract or leaving the club, he wants to leave as free agent, turning down the gigantic offered.

It seems Mbappe has yet changed his mind and he really wants to complete his current contract with PSG to leave as a free player in a next summer. Rumor is PSG wants to allow Mbappe to leave next summer even if he prolongs a contract one more year with them. Think of that deal which is ridiculous because why Mbappe has to sign that contract and force Real Madrid to pay transfer fee that will reduce his salary in Real Madrid.

It's unrealistic deal for all parties: PSG, Real Madrid and Mbappe so I really believe it won't happen.

After the departure of Messi, soon Neymar as two clubs Al Hilal and PSG already have an agreement for transfer fee, PSG will not want to lose Mbappe in this summer but they also don't want to lose him as a free player. It's a very tough situation for PSG.

It is probably certain that Mbappe wants to leave PSG as a free agent. Nasser Al Khelaifi has made a bigger offer for Mbappe to renew his contract. But Mbappe rejected the offer. Real Madrid were also interested in spending 180 million for Mbappe. But even then Mbappe did not agree. He is interested in leaving PSG as a free agent. And Mbappe will likely command a hefty signing bonus from whichever club he goes to.

Neymar going to Saudi club Al Hilal is almost certain. I thought Neymar would join a Premier League or La Liga club. But it didn't happen. Neymar is going to Saudi club. He will be in the same squad with Ronaldo. Neymar transfer: Al Hilal agree deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Brazil forward.

Mbappe has put PSG in a difficult position, if he stays until his contract expires then it will automatically make PSG lose money. An agreement is difficult to reach, and Real Madrid has yet to make an official offer to PSG management. I think that if the situation continues like this, PSG will have no other choice but to use Mbappe services for the remainder of his contract. And in the future it will be better for all clubs to renew the player's contract editor if the exact same situation occurs, meaning that it will put the Club in a more advantageous position.

There are a lot of world-class star players who have achieved everything at both club and national team level, but I haven't seen them hurt the club in this situation. I admit Mbappe is a world class player and PSG really need him in the squad, but his big ego will backfire on his own career.

Real Madrid were also interested in spending 180 million for Mbappe. But even then Mbappe did not agree. He is interested in leaving PSG as a free agent. And Mbappe will likely command a hefty signing bonus from whichever club he goes to.

There is new news regarding his fate. I read on goal.com if Mbappe had spoken to the PSG president. They agreed to extend the contract by 1 year. With the addition of an agreement he can leave PSG. But it seems that this deal will still hurt Real Madrid who they may have to pay if they want Mbappe. This will make Madrid need a lot of money in the next year.

PSG started the league losing points because they couldn't solve their internal problems. Especially the problem between Mbappe and the club has the potential to affect the team negatively. Actually, against Lorient, they played superior from the beginning to the end but they couldn't score. Ramos, Lee and Asensio replaced Mbappe, Messi and Neymar in their first league game this season. In fact, it must be admitted that PSG turn into an ordinary team when Mbappe, Messi and Neymar are not on the pitch. However, the new transfers also gave hope for the future.

[Litzki1990]

Neymar's fitness is not good. He is not fit for the Premier League. He suffered few injuries. But I think Barcelona is suitable for Neymar. Gameplay in La Liga is not as fast as Premier League. Also Barcelona does not play very attacking strategy. So moving to Barcelona would be good for Neymar's career.

After the news that Man Utd would be owned by a new owner, rumors about Neymar buying Man Utd were also increasingly circulating, but i'm sure that was just an issue.  neymar is probably one of the best strikers in the world but he is very often injured, if man utd buys him, he will suffer a lot of injuries especially the EPL is quite hard, while barcelona already has lewandowski, it's hard for neymar to be an option in the first team, at least PSG has to quickly make preparations to move on from 3 expensive attackers and find a replacement for them, especially with the loss of messi, assists for the center striker are noticeably reduced, results 0-0 against lorient is homework that must be done by the PSG coach.

Manchester United are going to make a big mistake if they want to add Neymar to the squad. The Premier League is very competitive. And Manchester United's style of play is very fast. Neymar is not suitable for the attack of such a team. There is no doubt that Neymar is a great player. However, Neymar does not have the fitness to play consistently in the Premier League with Manchester United. Neymar's wages are very high. And so, if Manchester United takes Neymar in the squad, the chances of them benefiting are very low. But if Neymar is not injured then Neymar is a perfect player for any team's attack.

Manchester United already have three Brazilian players who usually play in the regular eleven, mainly to increase the Brazilian strength in Manchester United, maybe Manchester United is showing interest in taking Neymar to the team. Neymar can never be a bad choice for Manchester United, we have no complaints about Neymar's game apart from injury being a major setback for him. This Brazilian star will surpass other stars if he plays well for one season. We hear a lot of rumors at this time of Neymar's change of team but none of the rumors are coming true so far, let's see what the action-oriented media of the world have to say about this news that Neymar wants to join Manchester United.

[slapper]

Because of the problem, Mbappe had with PSG we were not expecting to see him in trainings with other teammates but he once again he joined PSG in the trainings and other players said welcome to this player.
However, maybe they increased his salary once again to make him say but we know next time when he is about finish his contract with PSG he will have the same drama.

Is salary the reason for the issue lately? everyone knows it's not about salary or money but rumors he has made a deal with Real Madrid which has aroused the dislike of PSG's owners, and also if money is a problem, of course, he will accept an offer from Al Hilal with an open heart, as is currently being wide that his team-mate is set to move to Al Hilal, so it's clear that money is not an issue for Mbappe and PSG and a raise is not the trigger for his return to training.

It's very different from Neymar who is likely to move to the SPL, of course, it's because of money because even though Ligue 1 is not a league as big as the EPL or Laliga, PSG is a club that plays in the champions league, so when he moves it's impossible because he wants to get even more prestigious achievements.
I imagine that his move to Arab will threaten his position in the Brazilian national team, it's quite a shame if he really moves to start his career there, although many always say the league there is getting more famous but that doesn't mean the competition is getting tougher.

I think he wants respect or recognition more than money. If Real Madrid's reports of a deal are true, I can see why PSG's owners could be unhappy. Considering the Al Hilal offer, wouldn't he have jumped on that ship given his teammate's potential relocation for the money? I find it disorganized.

Neymar's situation is also unclear. PSG continues in the Champions League despite Ligue 1's inferiority to La Liga and the Premier League. Neymar seems to be ignoring the broader picture if he joins the SPL for money. I agree about his Brazilian national team status. Even if the Arab league is growing more famous, competitiveness is not. Sometimes I wish players would be more honest about their motivations. We could all avoid much guesswork.

I think it was their fault together with a lot of bad luck as they created a whopping 22 chances and it shows clearly that if any team in this case like Lorient parks the bus now PSG will have a lot of difficulties winning games.Imagine if a bunch of other teams starts behaving the same as Lorient it can cause some serious problems to PSG.Meanwhile teams like Monaco continued where they left off and some other teams performing still well,I think based on the first game where we clearly see that without Neymar,Messi and Mbappe PSG will struggle a lot to get to the results they used to get here in the last years.

I was not expecting to see an easy game for PSG against Lorient even if they got better players and more investment in their teams but still, PSG had a negative effect in their team, they lose many players like Messi and Neymar, even their defenders like Ramos and that's normal for me when I see PSG didn't have a good performance with the forwards they have because the new forwards we see in PSG playing in the first 11 players need some time to get in shape, also the situation with Mbappe is not solved and this player was absent in that game.

Mbappe will not get a chance to play this season unless he renewed his contract. Since this possibility is almost impossible then he will stay in the benches or accept to leave the club for money. There might be a possibility where he renew his contract with a departure clause for something like €100m that could be activated from the next year. The situation right now is blocked and no one of them are profiting from the presence of the other.

I think it is always the same isn't it? Khelaifi knocks on his door again and says "hey what do you think about staying one more year and we double your bonus?". As we know Mbappe very well by now, I changed my mind and now think that he will stay for another year. If it is true that they want to increase his salary once more in exchange for his signature to avoid that he can leave as a free agent next season, it is possible that he will do it. But then his hand money from Real Madrid would significantly decrease since they would have to pay a transfer fee that otherwise could have been his hand money. Mbappe has a calculator in his hand all day long.

From the reports that's been emanating from different sports tabloids in main land Europe, it seems like Kylian Mbappe will extend his contract with Paris Saint Germaine. He joined the first team to training yesterday and that's another strong indication that he might stay back at PSG.

Yes but the winner in the end is still Mbappe. If it just needed some drama for two months to force Khelaifi to double down on his offer, Mbappe did everything right. The point is that we tend to disagree because we believe that Mbappe wants to become the best player in the world and write history, but how do we even know? There is still the alternative way to think about this and that is that Mbappe wants to make as much money in his life as possible and he doesn't really care about individual titles or team titles anymore. He would behave exactly the same way, but he wouldn't tell anybody.

FC Metz, club which got promotion to Ligue 1 this season, were beaten very badly by Rennes with a score of 5-1. A very deep defeat surely, now they have to improve their defense if they want to survive in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Rennes leads the standings for a while because they has 5 goal points and the second is occupied by Monaco. Rennes next match is against Lens, based on head to head Lens is better rather than Rennes, it looks like I think the result will be a draw or Lens win but for Rennes winning I doubt it.

It only fitting that the FC Metz club was beaten to a pulp by Rennes whereas Metz is a club that just joined in league 1 so it only natural to be surprised to have to compete with a stronger club and think of it as a warm up in their first match but in this case it failed to improve performance they I think will go into the relegation zone again.
The next match if according to my prediction it looks like Lens will win the match because Lens will be the host that gives strength to be confident with great enthusiasm and on the other hand Rennes also haven't beaten Lens in previous season so it looks like Rennes will have to accept the upcoming defeat or if you don't have to use stronger defensive formation to end the match in a draw.

Yes indeed, I also had time to read it a little and thus, it seems that Real Madrid will again fail to bring Mbappe. But even if later for example Real Madrid can bring Mbappe, then of course Real Madrid will also spend even more money. With a situation like this, then for now I am sure there is no club that is willing to bring Mbappe by paying a very expensive transfer fee. So yes, maybe for now at least it can be concluded that, even Real Madrid still seems to be difficult to bring Mbappe at this time and also for the future.

The result match between Strasbourg vs Lyon is really according to the prediction that Strasbourg today gets their first 3 points this season by beating Lyon with final scores 2-1 and as a manager Viera has just made his sweet debut in Ligue 1 that since the beginning of match actually Lyon was very dominate the match and they got several opportunities to scores but surprisingly Strasbourg can able to leading the game from free kick and Lyon was attempts to equalized the game but unfortunately they only can able to scored 1 goal from Tagliafico and during the match i can see Lyon still hasn't solved their weaknesses yet that their forward players seems still struggling to find their shape especially Lacazette that he still unable to find his sharpness

Sometimes that type of games happens and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I think it's quite important to remember that we are going to end up with a situation where some good teams end up losing to worse teams and it will happen all season long, it has happened before and it will happen again in the future.

This was one of those games, Lyon was the better team and I bet that they will finish the season above Strasbourg as well when the season is over, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to see these type of games. Strasbourg were very lucky to win this game but if you are ready to take advantage of your opponent like this then I do not think that it will matter at all, I feel like it will be ordinary situation without a doubt.

Now there is a new contract for one year but looking at the conditions of the contract it seems that there is a condition where Mbappe must be sold in the 2024 season.
This may be a good decision for both parties because in 2024 PSG can sell without having to lose Mbappe for free considering that if PSG does not renew then Mbappe leaves for free they will lose.
But with this then obviously in the next season Mbappe leaves just maybe the price will still be too crazy and not profitable for those waiting for this player to release for free.

On the other hand for Madrid they are still passive although there is definitely a desire to bring Mbappe back but it seems like they are more restrained.

PSG tried everything within their reach to sell Kylian Mbappe but all their strength all to no avail. Kylian Mbappe will not extend his contract with PSG, however we have different rumours circulating round his transfer. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants Kylian Mbappe to be in the club, he even tried a couple of times to persuaded the Frenchman to extend his contract which was seen as an impossible tasks. Mbappe stand firm on his decision, he's not signing any contract or leaving the club, he wants to leave as free agent, turning down the gigantic offered.

You're right, Kylian Mbappe seems very confident about leaving PSG at the end of next season and will not change his plans. Real Madrid is the most realistic destination for him as there is interest between the two, but something different can still be expected if PSG manage to find a better solution.

PSG don't want to lose Kylian Mbappe for free, even if it were possible. Kylian Mbappe will try his luck in La Liga with Real Madrid because he is very ambitious to win the Champions League title and become the best player in the world. He believes it will be achieved with Real Madrid and I believe in that possibility.

PSG should have thought about it earlier. Now, even if they want to sell him for some money, they cannot do that. It does feel like real madrid is going to be the destination for Mbappé in the next season. Real Madrid has probably given up the hope of achieving great things in this season. A lot of players are injured for Real Madrid. I have a feeling that Real Madrid has deliberately chosen to not go for Mbappé this season. They are going into the season with just a decent enough squad, and in the next season, they will be looking to make all the upgrades that they want.

Yesterday Strasbourg vs Lyon in French Soccer League match between these two teams Lyon lost the match by 1 goal. I bet in support of Lyon team in this match. I was very hurt to lose Lyon team because my favorite team lost the match and I didn't win the bet.Strasbourg won this match by 2 goals. Neither team scored before halftime of the game but after halftime Strasbourg scored 2 goals and Lyon scored 1 goal.
